"PINAFoRE" DISAPPOINTING;
"CAvALLERTAD BIG SUCCESS

The double bin of Gilbert & Sulli-
vans "Pinafore." followed by Mas
cagni's 'Cavalleria Rusticana," as pre-
sented by the Aborn Summer Opera
Company last evening in the National
Theater. drew the smallest Monday
night audience of the season. Il was a
discriminating and sppreciative one. In
that IT realized the weakness of the first
performance and the strength of the
second.

humor and tunefulness. has seldom had

ance as santuzza was revelation. Her
place is distinctly in grand opera, and
with a little more training and expert

She is admirably suited both vocally
and hisurionically TO the part OF the
tragic and unfortunate Santuzza- The
other parts, Turridu- sung by Joseph
Fredericls. one Of the new members OF
the company: Lola by Emile Gardner;
Lucia by Marie HOrgan. and Alto, by
Karl Stall, were all in keeping with the
excellent work done by Miss Wen

best and prettiest Washington has
seen. Karl Stall acted the injured hus-
band extremely well, and his singing
was a distinct Improvement over his
bad work in ''PinafOre.' MT. FredeT-

JAMESTOWN, Va, June 1s.-The an
nual convention OF the International
Association OF Chiefs Of Police was
formally opened here today with an
address by Major Richard Sylvester.
superintendent OF the washington Po-
lice Department. who has been presi-
dent OF the organization for the last
seven years
Nearly 90 delegates are present, and
the meeting promises 20 be the most
successful in the associations history.
The convention will last until Friday.
Business sessions Will be held ia the
mornings. and the afternoons and even
ings Will be spent on the exposition
grounds and visiting points Of historical
interest.
Pensions for Police.
Aside from the presentation and dis
cussion of official topics. Major Sylves-
ter advocated the pensiOning of retired
policemen In all cities where this sys-
TEN is not now I'm vogue. and urged
upon the members the advantages TO be
derived by tie general adoption of the
Bertillon system in cities where il Is
not now used. He said. in part:
As the world advances population
and wealth Increase. With these, varied
real interests are constructed and de-
veloped- The crude gives way 10 the
modern.
TO be capable. the agent of society
who has been selected 10 protect hfe
and property, 10 preserve peace and
maintain order, must necessarily DOS
sess those qualifications which stand
for intelligence, integrity, and energy
Nowhere can be found representa-
tives engaged IN this cause possessing
more fully the attributes 10 which l
have referred, than I'm America The de-
mand for protection that will protect is
now more earnest than ever before. The
congestion Of people. colonization Of in
Gividuals. introduction Of speech, and
action against the State, inventions for
the destruction OF life and property,
rapid means for transportation. erection
CT monumental buildings. enOrmity Of
highway traffic. promotion for gain with
out labor. skill in the methods ana cp-
pliances Of criminals, call for expert
and experienced officials to properly
handle them. The disastrous conse-
quences which follow frequent changes
in police control and membership, the
i'll effects which result from these pub
lie servants being underpaid. the in
justice which ensues from casting aGrIft
those who have given their best years
in protecting the lives and properties
Of others. and who have not been afford
ed retirement and pensions. are now
more fully realized by States and NUM-
cipalities than ever before
This is evidenced by the fact. that is
forty cities out of ninety, pensions are
accorded members OF the forces on re-
tirement, OF 10 their widows, in cases
where the husband has died in the SER

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS

After an animated discussion lasting two and half days, the ter ritorial board of equalization fixed the assessed value of the railroads of Arizona subject to taxation and has determined the assessed value of the railroads that are exempt from taxation.
 For some time it appeared IS ii there would be strong division among the members of the board some taking the position that the railroads ought to be assessed at $2O,OO0 per mile and others hold, ing that this was too high.
 There has been an increase of about $1 ,6OO,O00 in the value of the assessed railroads over last year'e assessment, the total value being fixed at $9,O41 .03S SS.
 Added to this is an assessed value of $1OO,O0O against the Pull man company.
 The value of railroads in Ari- zona, exempt from taxation, was determined to be about $11 .OOO, ,OOO. making a grand total of railroad d property in Arizona of about $22,- 100000.
 Of the $9,O41,O3S.S the Santa Fe Pacific, which pays under act oi congress at the rate Of $175 per mile, is estima'el to show about $2,OOO.OOO valuation.
 There are about twenty railroads in the territory that were assessed The Southern Pacific was raised from 11,OOO to $13,OOO per mile the El Paso & Southwestern from $76OO to $11 1000 per mile, the Gi!a Valley, Glebe & Northern from $6OO0 to $500 per mile, the Mari copa x Phoenix from $575O tc $625O per mile. the Arizona & New Mexico from $565O to $625O per mile, the New Mexico & Arizona from $5O00 to $55OO per mile, the United Verde at $5OO0 per mile same as last year; the Morenci Southern from $3697 to $5OOO pc, mile. the Grand Canyon from $45O( to 5000 per mile.
 In determining the assessed val of exempt roads the board fixed tht Santa Fe main line at $13,O0O pei mile. the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix at $9OOO per mile. and tn. Phoenix & Eastern at $5OOO pe1 mile.
 The smaller roads and branch lines into the mir ing camps had their values fixed from $2OOO pe1 mile up to $5OOO, according to tho length and profit of operation. The total railroad mileage ir Arizona. exclusive of the Santa F. main line is 962.6l, on which tho total valuation last year was fixed by the equalizers at $7 .324.672 50 The board fixed the total for this mileage today at $9.O41. .O3S. The ! Santa Fe main line has 3S6 mile, of road, the estimated value O which last year was $1 1894 ,233 50 which. according to today y's increas, amounts to $5,O27,542. On thi the territory collects only $175 pc mile in taxes under a congressiona act.-Phoenix Democrat.
