WILL TRY
| 7 AGAIN.

Realizing that some action is grow
ing to be absolutely essential in re-
gard to the furniture and heating
and sanitary contracts, as September
approaches with the opening of the
fall term of school, President e. b.
Walker has called another special
meeting of the Board of Education
for tomorrow night, at s O'Clock, at
the high school. This will be the
thir>' special meeting since the regu-
4 monthly meeting of July 10. AT
that regular meeting and the special
meetings since, the board has failed
to break the deadlocks, the vote al
ways being 3 to 3, as for several
months past.
There would seem to be little use
of calling the board together again
in an effort to break the deadlocks
unless one faction or the other shows
willingness to concede something
The haste in calling this third spe-
cial meeting, only three nights after
that of Tuesday, led to suspicion
that, possibly there had been develop
ments which would indicate that a
settlement might be reached tomor-
row night. Mr.. Walker, when ask
ed about that, said that time alone
could tell.
"A suggestion has been heard out
side the board, since Tuesday night S
fruitless meeting, that one faction OF
the board gave in on one contract
and the other faction on the other
This does not appear favorable to the
commissioners, and then again, II
one faction voted with the other on
one contract, some members feel that
the others might change their minds
when the other question came up
1t was asserted at the meeting night
before last, as told in yesterday

ture question some months ago, was
bolted by certain members.

HAD
BIG TIME
Received a Warm Welcome at
Denver The Parade and Fea-
lures of Entertainment.
LOCAL men GET BACK.
Praise the Welcome and HOSpi-
aIity Of the People Of the West
Next COnVe nt!On at PhiIa.

DR.. Frank Crowther, of Perth Am
boy Lodge of Elks, who was one of
the number who went from this city
to attend the reunion at Denver,
Col, last week, returned home last
night, being the first local man home
DR.. Crowther and Joseph e. Strick-
er made the trip with the New York
lodge of Elks, one of the party being
Chaplain Rainey, who was with Dew
ey at Manila, and who is now chap
lain at the Brooklyn navy yard.
The local Elks spent the week
viewing the many attractions in Den
yer, and say that not one accident
marred their pleasure.
Mr.. Stricken and DR.. Crowther Wis
tied Pixies Peak, and stood on the
top of the United States signal plat
form. where the temperature is AZ
degrees, snow being found there all
the year round.
They also visited the wild west
show and were in the mammoth Elk
parade July 10.
The following figures show it's size
Number of lodges in line, 24S; num-
ber of bands. Al; number of floats,
SO; number of ladies, $50; total
number of men in line, 2,4O0; max
ing line that required two hours
and twenty-five minutes to pass a
given point.
Ten car loads of snow were
brought from the surrounding noun
tains, and the participants in the par
ade were pelted with flowers and
snow balls alternately.
The total number of visiting Elks
was 29,S59, all of whom were regis
tered at the Elks headquarters.
DR.. Crowther is loud in his praise
of Denver, and says that there is not
a wooden structure in the city, even
the smallest dwelling houses on the
outskirts of the place being built OF
stone. He also says that the city is
noted for cleanliness, and that the
western people have breezy way oi
making one feel at home.
A large arch bearing the word,
Welcome" was constructed on 18th
street, through which all the Elks
had to pass at least once before re-
turning.
DR.. Crowther left Mr.. Stricken at
Chicago. Mr. Stricken intended Wis
iting the Thousand Islands before
returning to this city.
The two local Elks were hidden
goodbye at the station in Denver by
William Slaight, who went there a
number of years ago from this city,
and Edwin Frazer, who went there
some time ago.
The route taken by the visiting
Elks was on the Lehigh Valley rail-
road to Buffalo; then on the Lake
Shore railroad to Chicago; from Chi
cago to Omaha, by the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, and from
there on the Union Pacific to Denver,
the trip being made in three days
and three nights.
One popularity of the trip was that
the New York Elks left on the thir-
teenth day and at the thirteenth hour
and DR.. Crowther and Mr.. Stricken
both slept in section No. 1S, in the
sleeping ear, but in spite of these
signs, nothing happened to spoil the
journey.
The rest oil the Elks are expected
home some time this week.

VALUATION
is HIGHER.
Tax Assessors Soon Finish Their
Work American SmeIter
Increased Greatly.
SOME LAND is DOUBLED
Tax Rate Will be Lower Expect
ed to Come Down Below 81
This Year.

While the tax valuations this year
are much higher, the assessors think
that the rate will come under So.
Last year the rate was $2.12 on
thousand and many properties were
assessed at their utmost value.
The commissioners have been hard
at work for the past month and have
about completed their books, being
required to present their report be-
fore the State Board August T.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter this morning one of the as
SCISSORS said:
81 have been making my valua-
tions exceed last years in many
cases, mostly those of the factories,
who will be given a much higher
valuation this year"
When asked about the American
Smelling & Refining Company's
plant the commissioner said that he
could not make the figures public,
but the factory has been given a
large valuation, so much so, that 1t
was worth mention. He also said
that if the factories were assessed
too high, they might choose some
other locality for their operations
even though they are thought to be
permanently located here. One fac
tory at present, said the commission
er, is entertaining a proposition from
another city now, the offer being to
allow them exemption for twenty
five years taxes.
Some land, it is learned, Is assess
ed this year at just double the
amount of last year, but two of the
local board say that nearly all the
residence houses will be about the
same, though in some cases that too
has been raised.O- 4 ~ a8
After the meeting August z the
rate of taxation for thissyear will be
made public. 4 -
A feature, this year. is the taxing
of the first class railroad property
This is assessed, by the State Board o.
Taxation. All the other lend belong
ing to the rai1f0ad q. asseHFs'
by the local -bsafsi.' '''' =. s..,s.s.l. =,
The Lehigh Valley reaf estas
agent was here about two weeks ago
and conferred with the commission
ers in regard to the adjustment oi
their taxes, and 1t Is understood that
the rate to be imposed on the rail-
Il Dad companies is high.

Az DOGS
ARE SHOT.
Police Made Raid on the Stray
Ours at Early Hour This
MOrninp.
THE POWDER WAS POOR.
Say They Would Have Killed
More If Guns Had Gone Off
at Proper Time.

The night policemen made silent
raid early this morning on the home
less and unlicensed dogs that roam
the streets, and disturb the peace
and quiet of the public with unearth-
ly bowling.
The shooting squad started out
with shot guns about 4 o'clock this
morning and in two hours, "A dead
dogs were lying on the streets in diff
ferent parts of the city.
A great difficulty was experienced
by the hunters with the shells, a
number of them being poor, and re-
fusing to go off, and some when they
did shoot were weak, and the canine
escaped. Had the shells been good
the number would have been nearer
144 than forty-four.
Another raid will be made soon
and the rest of the wanderers will be
eXterminated.
Whether any licensed dogs were
shot by mistake is not known yet, as
the dogs have not yet been examined,
and no reports to that effect have
been received.
City Clerk Charles Macmillan was
kept busy this morning, and by 3
o'clock had licensed six dogs, the
owners fearing that theirs would
probably be shot in the next tour of
the officers. The clerk expects to IL
cense a large number today and to-
morrow, as the record shows that a
number of owners have yet to come
and pay the necessary 81, and receive
the round tag that secures the safety
of the animal.
Last year, over 700 dogs were reg
istered. The clerk will order num-
ber of new tags soon. the limit of a
license being June 1. The new tags
will be square, so that they can be
designated from last years.
All those who have licensed dogs
since June !, can, in few weeks, ex-
change their round tag for square
one, and all those who have no IL
cense should get one at once.
Chief Burke will not state when
the next reid viii he made, but 1t Ia
thought that it will take place some
night this week.
The street commissioner has list
of where the dead dogs are lying, and
is having them removed today.

new CUCCENHEIM co.

Daniel and Simon Guggenheim, of
M. Guggenheim' Sons and the Gug-
eenheim Exploration Company, were
elected to the directorate of the Me-
yada and Northern Railway Company
on Tuesday, and at the same meeting
some of their associates were elected
Cn the board of directors on the Ne
vada Consolidated Copper Company,
which owns the railway company.
These elections mark the passing
of the control of the Nevada Consol-
idated to the Guggenheim Explora-
tion Company next month. The con-
troll of the Guggenheims will be still
further emphasized by the election
to the directorate of A. Chester Be-
atty. A smelling and concentrating
plant with yearly capacity of
1900, 900 tons will soon be erected
on the property 1t is asserted that
there is ore enough blocked out at
the present to run such plant to
capacity for at least fifteen years.
This would mean an annual output
of 100000 pounds of copper.

ANOTHER.
National Protective LegiOn's Or.
ganizerS Have Met With Sue
cess in This City.

An important event in local fra
ternal circles will be the institution
of a local legion of the National Pro-
tective Legion in this city about the
middle of next week. This legion
starts with large charter list COM
posed of the leading fraternal men in
the city. The National Protective
Legion is strongly located in every
city and large town in this state, and
is located in every state in the Union.
The order started sixteen years ago
in Waverly, N. Y, with only two hum
dred members. The membership to-
day numbers about 100000. This
rapid growth is due to the attractive
ness of the benefits paid by the order
to it's member while they are living.
The order started without a dollar
in its treasury, and today there is
standing in the treasury $3,000,000
that is to be distributed among those
members whose five year terms ex-
pire this year.
The work of organization in this
city is in charge of William G. Cum
mings and John Sperling, state depu-
ties. This order is averaging about
5000 new members each month dur
ing the year, which speaks of its
popularity. This order is known
throughout this country as the order
without graveyard benefits.
The benefits paid by the legion
are: SIS in case of sickness, 500 in
case of accident, and $5 for each
month of membership in case of
death. Then each five years of mem
bership the entire profits of the ie-
sion are equally divided among the
members who have belonged to the
order for five years.

Given a Hearing
By Recorder
Yesterday.
NO HARMWAS INTENDED
A. A. Quinn Explained What Was
Meant by Other Eye" State
ment-- Other Case Was Also
Dismissed After Hearing
the, Testimony.

Arthur AS Quinn and James L.
Donohue, the union officials for
whom peace warrant had been
sworn out by Michael Jenniso, of 81
Broad street, were given a hearing
before Recorder Pickersgill yester-
day afternoon. After hearing both
sides, the matter was dismissed.
Jenniso testified that Quinn and
Donohue met him at State and Fay
ette streets last Friday noon as he
was returning to work on the Gold
smith building.
Jenniso has but one good eye, and
conversation ensued in which, SO
he claimed, Donohue said that, un-
less he gave up working on unfair
jobs, he might lose the other eye.
Jenniso cannot talk or understand
English very well. Mr.. Quinn, in
taking the witness stand, explained
that he was the man who was talking
with Jenniso, but that no threat was
made.
There is a benefit of $4O0 from the
union for any man who loses his
sight working at the trade. He said
that If Jenniso should meet with an
taccident and become blind, he would
.Enot b,s entitled to that benefit
Jenniso also said that some one
! called at his home Friday night
about II O'clock and called him out
of bed, but fearing that they might
do him some harm, he would not
come down. He could not be sure
that Quinn and Donohue had been
the visitors as he could not see them.
They say they were not.
The case was dismissed for lack
of evidence.
Another Labor Case.
Another case heard at the same
time was that of Chris. Jensen and
j. Askins, who were charged with as
saulting Neis e. Dahl, lather Dahl
testified that, while working on a
house last Friday afternoon Jensen,
in company with two other men,
front of the building. A conversa-
tion followed, in which, Dahl assert
ed, Pessen accused Dahl of being a
scab. Dahl protested and after a
warm argument he started to go into
the building. He had gone but a
short distance when, one of the fell
lows, he said, called him back and
mad1 a few remarks. AS he turned
to re-enter the house, one of the men
hit him just above the eye, he alleg-
ed, and knocked him senseless. He
testified in court yesterday afternoon
that he had Dahl arrested to find out
who the other two fellows were. He
did not recognize Askins and said
that he had never seen him before.
The case was dismissed.

.LINCOLNS FLOODED
OUT BY THE RAIN

+ After every rain the Lincoln En-
gine Company's house, on State
street, is flooded with water, which
comes in through the stable in the
rear of the building. The flow of
water is caused by the drainage OF
the city yard not being properly
cared for. Last Saturday noon, dur
ing the heavy showeEsslterrents OF
water came into the Mlding, and
the members had to move all the
implements, wagons and other arti-
cles, to keep them dry. The street
commissioner has been spoken TO-

BUILDERS MET
IN PLA|NFIELD.

The quarterly convention of the
State Association of Master Builders,
of which Emil Koyen, of this city,
had been vice president of MiddleseX
county for the past year, was held at
the Casino in Plainfield yesterday af-
ternoon. A banquet was held in the
evening.
The convention was called to or
der by the president, Hugh d. King,
of Bloomfield, at o'clock. After the
reading and adoption of the minutes
cf the last convention, and the hear
ing of communications, the reports
of the special committees on legisla-
ton and organization were submit
ted. The organization committee
reported the formation of several
new associations since the last con-
vention. The legislative committee
reported progress on its efforts to
put through the assembly a measure
In which the entire association is in
terested, and which would make ii
necessary for a builder, who under
takes contracts under an architect,
TO possess a master builders certifi-
cate. At present incompetent and
unslilled men can accept such con-
tracts, condition which the master
builders are seeking to remedy.
The Master Builders Association
of New Jersey, organized in 1908,
has now a membership of 1,4OO, and
is rapidly growing in numbers and
influence. It's objects are to main
tain a community of interests among
the master builders of the state, and
to adjust the differences that may
arise between master and journey
man, advocating arbitration as the
I.>medy for all disputes. 1t has ac-
complished much in the direction of
good feeling between bosses and
workmen and in the prevention OF

HEARD LAST NIGHT

The case of Coley against Ray
mond was heard by Recorder Pickers-
gill in police court last night, and af-
ter both sides had given each other
a severe tongue lashing, settlement
was agreed upon. The cause of the
trouble was, as near as can be learn
ed, that Mrs. Raymond, who is a
neighbor of Coley, has in the past
annoyed him with her conversation,
and, as he claims, called him names.
Mrs. Raymond denied the charges,
and said that she is peaceable, and
never disturbed anyone.
The recorder told her that he did
not want to fine her, so if she would
promise to move in two weeks, the
case would not be prosecuted further.
