Hughes Short in His Accounts.

Union, S. c., May 12.-It has come to
light that w. w. Hughes, for sixteen
years treasurer of the Union Building

counts several thousand dollars. An at
tempt has been made to keep it quiet
until the exact amount of the loss could
be learned, after expert accountants ar
rive Monday, to avoid exaggerated and
damaging reports. The association,
which is strictly local enterprise, has
been successfully run for twenty years,
is believed series Nos. 4 and are the
only ones involved, and that Nos. 6. Z

Hughes, who had entire charge of the
associations funds, and assumes sole re-
sponsibility for the shortage, which was
caused by speculation, has heretofore
been considered man of the strictest
honesty.

NEW JERSEY RAILROAD TAXES.
Companies Agree with State on Plan 20
Settle Validity OF the Dufield Act.

TRENTON, Sept. 11.-Folowing a confer
ence between Attomey-General McCarter,
representing the State. and William H.
Corbin and George Holmes, for the various
railroad interests in New Jersey, the rail-
roads consented to-day TO judgment being
entered by the State Board Of Equalization
dismissing the appeals, $50 in number.
which the railroads filed against assess
ments Of their second class property for
1906.
As a part Of the stipulation ounse for
both sides agreed upon a statement Of facts
upon which the railroads will take one
appeal by certiorari to the Supreme Court
to determine the legal questions wolves
in the litigation. In the ev ent OF a decision
favorable to the State, the judgments COW
erinR the 1852 cases will stand; otherwise the
railroads will move to have them reopened
that the principles of law laid down by the
courts may be applied TO each.
Mr.. orb announced that the test would
be made upon the Judgment dismissing he
appeal OF the Central Railroad from the
assessment Of its property. The questions,
he said, would be raised, the first as to
the jurisdiction OF the State board to
e~qualize taxes by reducing assessments
below the true value Of the property and
the second as to the constitutionality OF the
Dufield act OF 1905, under which second
class railroad property is now taxed at
local rates for the benefit OF the municipality
in which it is situated.
In the stipulation OF facts it was agreed
that in making the assessment Of Central
Railroad property in Newark the State
Board Of Assessors had assessed it at not
less than 100 per cent. OF its true value
and that the local assessors had assessed
other property at a rate substantially less
than It's true value. For the purposes Of
the appeal only the railroads waived all
claim that any Of their property had been
assessed for the year at more than the true
value. The State board, admitting these
facts, held that it could not reduce assess
ments below true value but could only
equalize taxes by raising INTERPRETATIONS,
which would practically prevent the rail-
roads from obtaining the relief sought.
A direct result Of to-day's agreement will
be the immediate turning over to the mu-
inequalities Of the money paid to the State
COMPTROLLER by the railroads upon the basis
OF the tax that would have been levied I'M
der the old law. This amount was o
disputed by the railroads but was held up
by the Comptroller pending a determine
ton Of the appeals:
The tax assessed against the railroads
on second class property for the ear was
81, l36, PSI.

ton. The United States Government has
already appropriated $4,000 for the puT-
pose, and several Of the other republics
lave advanced their share.
During the discussion OF the issuance Of
publications by the bureau the Peruvian
delegation amended the resolution so that
1t 81 lid provide that all maps issued
should first be submitted to the Govern
ment Of the country covered n to the
bordering Governments, 80 that there
might be no false impression Of where
boundary lines actually were. The motion
finally brought an agreement that a notice
should be placed on all maps issued by the
bureau to the effect hat they are unofficial
except when the maps have received the
approval both OF the country to which ie
refers and the bordering nations.
Further provision for the collection OF
information by the bureau was made by the
passage Of a resolution providing for the
appointment of committees in every country
which would look after the affairs Of the
bureau.

Action was brought before Justice New

to restrain 81. Marks Lutheran Church
from retaining 5000. the residue OF the
money collected for the relief Of the sur
vtvors Of the Slocum disaster two years ago.
Moses H. Groesman. representing Albtn

applied TO Justice Newburger for per-
mission to become party defendants In q
suit which has been brought by Jacob W.
Loeb against tho Attorney-General Of
tho State. demanding the discharge Of the
Slocum relief committee.
The suit TO which Boenhardt and the
other survivors OF the disaster hope to
become ~oodefendants is brought IN the
ground that the Slocum relief committee
has already extended full relief TO the
sufferers. The plaintiff seeks to have the
Acknowledgement turn over what funds
remain TO st. Marks Church
In support Of his plea to be allowed to
become a party defendant In the Loeb
action Boenhardt yesterday submitted an
AFFIDAVIT setting forth the treatment which
he himself had received at the hands Of tho
relief committee, In r~efutation Of the claim
hat all necessary relief 3 been AFFORDED
the Slooum sufferers. He say In his depo-
sition that he was struck In the left eye by
apiece OF burning rail at the time the SloOum
was destroyed, that $50 was all that had
been allowed him from the relief funds TO
assist him In paying doctors bills and that
he Is still under a physicians care, with the
sight Of his eye yet lmperilled. Further
assistance, he says, had been refused him.
There are many others, says Boenhardt's
affidavit, who have applied for relief and
have been denied.
After hearing the petition Of Boenhardt
and the other Slocum survivors who wish
to become parties to the Loeb action Jus
tice Newburger referred the case to jus
