Morning Session
At the session of the boar of equal

tax and land agent for the Huntington
railways tried to gain reductions on all
the franchises and much of the per-
sonal property owned by Huntington by
"blarneying" City Assessor Lewis.
Lewis was little Modified, but not to
the extent Of recommending that the
reductions asked for be granted.
For the Pacific Electric railway re-
duction on the franchise from $500, 900
to $3l4,60O was asked.
THE assessor has been very fair in
all his dealings with the Huntington
interests, and as far as real estate is
concerned believe Mr. Lewis has made
the best assessment that has ever been
made i'm this city" said Mr.. Wood
But like all human beings he is liable
to err, and in assessing our franchises
/ believe he has made an error OF judg-
ment."
He declared that an evening news
paper had been very unfair to MIR.

the city and county assessor showing
the city assessments much lower on

FEES AND REPORTS
ARE POSTPONED
STOCK EXCHANGE ADOPTS
REGULATION
Time for Payment of Annual Calling
Fee and Filing of Reports
Is Extended Thirty
Days

1t has been decided by the members
of the governing board of the Los
Angeles stock exchange to extend for
thirty days the time for requiring min
ing companies whose stocks are traded
calling fee of $25 and to file reports
showing the physical and financial con-
dition of their properties.
The rule requiring these companies
to pay a calling fee and to file reports
was adopted by the governing board
some time ago, and the time for its
enforcement originally was fixed for
July 10. Since then communica tions
have been received from several min
ing corporations stating that the propo-
sition will have to be submitted to
their board of directors. and in the case
of most of these it was announced that
the boards would not meet until after
the date set by the stock exchange for
the enforcement of the rule. In conse-
quence of this it was decided to sus-
pend operation of the calling fee re-
quirement until August Is.
Some of the mining companies al
ready have signified a willingness to
pay the fee and also have submitted re-
ports, In several instances, however.
these reports are incomplete, much of
the information desired by the ex-
change, and which ii insists 1t is en-
titled to- has been omitted. The gov
erning board is inclined to stand
firmly ON its original proposition, that
every question contained in it's blank
forms must be answered fully and un-
equivocally, and as a result the incom-
plete reports have been turned over to
the listing committee of the exchange.
The new rule applies only to the
mining companies, but 1t is said that
possibly 1t will be extended later to
cover Other corporations as well. Min
ing companies not now on the list. and
which desire to have their stocks traded
in on the exchange, will be required to
pay listing fee of $780, which will
cover the calling fee for the first year.

Evidently fearing that by some SUPER
human means Mason would be able to
appear at the meeting of the commits
sion before they could get to the case
in the regular order of business, the
commission, with what was last night
characterized by those present as pos
itively indecep' haste, ordered it taken
up the first thing on the program.
When the Ease vas laid before the
commission Chief Aube reported that
he had visited Commissioner Mason at
his home and that Mr.. Mason had re-
quested him 10 ask the commission TO
lay this over for at least another week.
and also asked that two other cases be
continued until he could he present.
1--WE are very sorry for Mr. Mason's
injuries, of course" said Commissioner
James, but 1 believe this board can
transact business without the presence
of Mr.. Mason"
To prove that 1t could transact bust
ness without Mr. Mason the board
granted the license.

Refusing TO grant Mr.. Mason's re-

from his injuries and attend a meeting,
the police commission last evening
granted wholesale liquor license to
John Phillippi to conduct a liquor store
at 654 South Broadway.
This was one of the cases to which
Commissioner Mason had objected most
strongly .at tire last meeting of the
board and which, at his urgent request,
was laid over for week.
THE business men near Seventh and
Broadway do not want a wholesale
liquor store nor any other kind of liquor
business deteriorating the value of their

Visement
The Sunset and Home Telephone com
panes yesterday asked the city board
to reduce the assessments of theil
franchises
Sunset and Home
The Sunset company. which is as
sessed at 100000, asked that the amount
I be reduced to Zoo, 900. Last year the
franchise assessment of this company
was placed at $50 900 and reduced by
the board to $125,000. The company be-
lieves 1t is entitled to further reduC-
tion this year, as the franchise has one
year less to RI L.
How do you arrive at a franchise
assessment? asked Attorney Sam Has
kins. who represented the Sunset COM
pany, of Mr. Lewis.
You people are so unreasonable and
7 unjust that | won't answer 3 question
for you," snorted the assessor.
The Home Telephone company was a
little more modest and only asked that
| its franchise assessment be reduced
from 100000 O $125. 900.
"Do you consider youc franchise
| worth any more than the Sunset's?'
asked Mr.. Lewis of the company's at
torney.
mo, they are both worth about the
same" was the nswer.
There YOU have it," said Mr.. Lewis
triumphantly to the board. "One COM
pany says its franchise is worth only
800, 600 and another admits it is worth
SIPS 900. Get down to the facts and you
will find that 200. .0c0 is a low valuation
to place on these franchises. | protest
against a reduction of one dollar"
These cases y re also taken under
consideration.

TILLMAN. By a REDUCED VOTE

With all the returns finally in,
the South Carolina election results
in the nomination of Senator Till
man by a reduced majority to
succeed himself, while his dispen-
sary system, which he vigorously
defended, was repudiated. The
result of the election indicates that
the county system will prevail in
all except the dry counties. How
the Legislature stands, however, is
not yet shown. The people have
voted against the state dispensary
system, but the Legislature may
not abolish it. 1t is probable, how
ever, that it will provide for the
county system. This would not
change the principle but the
method. Counties that want dis
pensaries can have them and
receive the profits, which are con-
siderable. Counties that object to
them can go dry. The recent cleo,
ton was simply a primary cleo

constantly committing and the
fear and the danger of which hang
like black shadow over thous-
ands of homes, and the commits
sion of which has brought woe to
many households.
The white people of the South
are growing desperately weary of
negro assaults on white women.
There are many law abiding,
respectable negroes, and against
these the white mans hand is not
turned. He is their best friend
because he knows how to be with
out injury to him or them.
In the South vengeance is salts
fed with the death of the id1yidual
otfender-no war is made on the
race. In other sections of the
country, in many instances, the
offense of one negro is made occa-
sion for war on the race, and the
innocent suffer with the guilty, as
has been the case in Ohio more
than once and in various other
States. Have the negroes ever
noted this fact? The South eXer.
cises remarkable restraint under
circumstances that try men to the
soul. The people of the .jungles o.

DISEASES AND THEIR DOORS

The acuteness of the sense of
smell is far greater in many of
the lower animals-dogs, for ex-
ample-than in man, and they
employ it in guiding them to their
food, in warning them of approach
ing danger and forIother purposes.
The sphere of the susceptibility to
various Odors is more uniform and
extended in man, and the sense of
smell is capable of great cultiva-
ton.
Like the other special senses, it
may be cultivated by attention
and practice. Experts can dis
criminate qualities of wine, liquors,
drugs, etc. Diseases have their
characteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many
different asylums for the insane
recognize the Odor of the insane.
1t is not insane asylums alone,
but prisons, jails, workshops,
armies in camp, churches, schools
and nearly every household that
have characteristic odors. 1t is
when the insane, the prisoners and
the soldiers are aggregated in large
groups or battalions that their
characteristic odor is recognized.
Most diseases have their charac-
teristic odors, and by the exercise
of the sense of smell they could be
utilized in different diagnoses.
For example, favus has a mousy
odor, rheumatism has a cop1ous
sour smelling, acid sweat. A person
afflicted with pyaemia has sweet
nauseating breath. The rank, un-
bearable odor of pus from the mid
die ear tells the tale of the decay
of osseous tissue. In scurvy the
odor is putrid, in chronic portion
tits musky, in scrofula like stale
beer, in intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread, in fever
ammoniacal, in hysteria like VIC
let's or pineapple.
Measles, diptheria, typhoid few
er, epilepsy, phthisis, etc., have
characteristic odors.

ARE BREEDING MORE TROUBLE.

The "Niagara Movement" is a
negro organization which recently
held it's second annual meeting at
Harper's Ferry, place sacred to
it's members because it was from
that point that old John Brown
sought to begin his crusade of
murder and rapine against the
white people of the South. The
organization is composed of what
are said to be prominent and edu-
Gated negroes. In an address they
demand equal rights, manhood
suffrage without discrimination,
better education tor negro children,
abolition of separate car laws, etc.
for their race.
The "address" of these negroes,
who are said to be educated and
intelligent, contains no word OF
condemnation of the black crimes
which members of their race are
