som" places in the State are a trifle
slow in making valuation returns to
the Board of State Assessors. and it
sometimes happens that no returns are
received for several years. Naturally
there is a cause for this non-attention
to the laws of the State. and sometimes
the cause is peculiar one. as is shown
by the following letter which was re-
ceived at the office of the board one
day last week. from one of the select
men of Allegash plantation. The letter
was written Sept 10 and addressed to
the board. and the contents was as fol-
lows:
"Dcar Sirs-Yours of the Sd inst. at
hand and also blank calling for copy of
our valuation of the present year. see
this copy must be sworn to before a
Justice of the peace. As there is no one
! before whom an oath can be taken
within 30 miles of our plantation it
| makes it very inconvenient for us to do
so. If you will accept the copy without
being sworn to. l shall make it up and
send it to you as soon as possible after
hearing from you in regard to the mat

SINGER IN COURT
DECLARES ARREST WAS DUE TO
 PIQUE.
Tenor Testifies Woman Made Advances TO Him At Monkey House To which He Decided Not
 To ReMpOmd.


 New York, Nov. 2l.-EnricaA caruso, the Italian tenor, faced an audience of 500 persons in the Yorkvtlle police court today, and denied positively that he had made indecent advances to Q woman in the monkey house in Gen. traI Park last Friday. He declared his arrest was due to pique on the part of the woman, who described herself as Hannah Graham" because he failed to respond to advances which she made to him
 Mrs. Graham was not present to press the charge which she lodged against the singer and the police of- ficers interested In the affair testified they had exerted every effort to fiIsl the woman but without avail.
 Park Policeman Cane was in court, however, and he told a circumstantiaI story of the alleged events which led to the arrest of the singer. being cor roborated in part by other witnesses. Several other policemen, including the desk sergeant and the captain of Canes precinct, corroborated the officer as to the happenings in the police station al the time of the arrest. They declared that CarusO pleaded with the woman not to prefer ! charge against him, and that. with outstre,ched hands and in an tmnloring voice aclared, Tt is all a mistake; I meant no barn."
 young man who gave his hame as Jeremiah Mccarthy corroborated Canes testimony as to Caruso's alleged action in the monkey house. He said his att tention had been called to Caruso by the officer. Against all. the singer placed what amounted practically to a flat denial of the whole case of the prosecution.

have been impossible for him to nave M made the statements attributed 70 nl by the police. He declared the ~o- man upon whose complaint he was ar rested had smiled at him, and Dy looA and action invited attention Whicn he did not condescend to give
 He was calm and self-possessed ou- ring the whole ordeal. His answers , ~ questions always came promptly Anu lucidly. Many of his answers were given by a nod or shake of the heaa before the interpreter had finished the repetition of the question. Caruso was attended in court by Director Conrelu, of the Metropolitan opera House ana a number of prominent singers.
 Yorkville police court probably heV- CT before harbored such gathering as tcday's. It's normal capacity Is scarce ly more than 200, but long before Sne hour set for the appearance or Carnso nearly three times that numDer ol persons had crowded into the litue room.
 When the cab containing caruso. Di- rector Conreid. of the Metropolitan Opera House, and several of his triends req ched the building an army Of pho- toeraphers greeted them and the crowo on the sidewalk sent up a yell. Again when the singer and his friends were leaving the place after the case had Lcen adjourned until tomorrow, Caruse was given a rousing cheer.

 The local weather bureau forecasts tonight ara for threatening showers and probable light snows. fnrough out the Southwestern States tohieh' the weather is generally clear. .
 Local conditions have improved to great extent, although railroad tramc from this point Is still greatly dlsar- ranged because of the numerous wash
 outs along the lines of the various systems.
 The Illinois Central Railroad to- night announced that It's line from Cairo to New Orleans, via Jackson. Tenn, is now open, and that by to-
 morrow morning on all lines south of
 the Ohio river traffic will be moving as heretofore.
 over such stretches of track there that traffic could not be handled be- cause of washouts, trains have been detoured over other lines Beyond the accident near Memphis. when a switch
 engine plunged into Nonconnah creek ana the GHELuSCA anu drowned, there has been no loss of life
 resulting from railroad accidents oc- casioned by the storm.
 On the Memphis and Fulton branch no trains were running today because of the damaged condition of the bridge cmrossing Wolf river near Memphis nor on the Memphis and Grenada branch because of washouts. The Louisville and Nashville have | had, as yet, no washouts. but the heavy rains have delayed number oi their passenger trains. The Nashville and Chattanooga Road is out of busi ness entirely, but hopes to resume thi' afternoon.
 Railroads Suffer Heavily. l The financial loss to the railroads during the past four days has beer great in the delay of traffic and gen heral disarrangement of the service
 while the loss to the business interests
 of Memphis by the floods has alsC mounted up into the thousands. The Southern Railroad. which had almost completed arrangements to re-
 sume business on it's Memphis division 1 was unable to do so this morning, ow' | ing to last nights heavy rains. Int
 road is still out of business. Int
 Frisco, which up to the present tim'
 has been operating traios on the south ern and eastern divisions. was com pelled to suspend operations on thos'
 divisions owing to the numerous wash | outs today.
