EQUALIZATION BOARD
LOWERS VALUES

Although the assessed valuation
of Amarillo property as a whole will
be greatly increased this year over
any former year the board Of equal
izatiop which completed its revision
of the values yesterday lowered the
renditions made by the assessor in
more cases than they raised them.
The full value" order Of the state
revenue department eXerted a dis
turbing influence on the renditions
this year and property owners had
difficulty in reaching fair basis of
valuation. AS a result the renditions
in some cases we're out of proper
ton
The policy OF the city board this
year as in the past has been to exact
high valuation for unimproved
property and to allow a very much
smaller relative valuation for the
improvements. In many cases during
their present session the board has
largely reduced the renditions made
to the assessor. In few cases on
unimproved property the values have
been raised
The board which consists Of II. b..
Jones, c. F. Randall, and Il. II. Nc
Alpine, finished their conference with
property owners yesterday and are
al work completing the valuations.

FACILITIES FOR

But County Attorney COnVlnGsS
JUTleS That Malt Mead
is Beer

The remarkable facilities OF vari.
Gus witness for forgetting, not Motto
ing, and being so drunk that they
couldn't notice has been the feature
Of the proceedings in the criminal
cases in county court this week as
1t has been at all other times when
certain classes OF cases has been
brought up for trial. The defend
ants,in the cases gainst the pro-
prietors Of disorderly houses, did not
expect to create any doubt as to the
fact that beer is and has been reg
ularly sold at their places but they
did expect and diligently labor to
convince the court and the jury that
there the prosecution had not proven
under all the labcrIous process of
the law that such liquid refreshments
were sold.

proprietors Of the houses allege they

ment, is not beer al all and in sell
ing II they are not obliged to have
license for the sale OF malt liquors
or intoxicating beverages. This
malt mead" II should be explained
looks like beer according to the tes-
timony OF certain witnesses. From
other indications Il. seems TO have tho
same general effect on the partak-
ors that characteTizes the use Of
beer. II seems, moreover that this
remarkable liquid is brought to the
houses by the firms which make
an exclusive business of selling beer
and ice. But the defendants contend
that malt mead" being spelled diff
ferently having different labels on
the bottles and having other such
wide disparites is not beer, And
in connection with this point the mar
velous forgetting facilities OF the
witnesses are brought into requisi-
ton.
In spite of the fact however, that
witnesses waver on the crucial point
of remembering and in spite Of the
fact that the defense in the hands of
clever attorney defies the state to
prove specific instance where the
specific defendant, sold a particular
glass which the specified witnesses
not only smelled, saw, and tasted,
but paid and delivered, County At
torney Hugh Umphres, with A. A,
Lumpkin as assistant, have been
convincing the juries that even for
getting" II consistently developed by
the state helps to establish case.
This week in the county court, the
two attorneys have secured convic-
lions in a number of cases for the
sale OF beer without license The
fine in most cases has been 500
and costs which is relatively less
than the cost of a license, 1t does
not grant immunity from prosecu-
ton, however, and the defendants |
may be made to be defendants at any |
time again.

W. H. MINTER
IS FOUND DEAD
tFrom Fridays Daily)

(from fridays Dally)
Today at about loclock, Mr. Fields
the driver of water wagon in that
part OF town discovered the lifeless
body of w. H. Minter, lying in the
road near a lot which belonged to
him at Nineteenth and Harrison
streets. Apparently Mr., Minter had
been at his usual practice of cult
waiting the trees in the vacant lots
owned by him at that place and had
started to his home in the west part
OF town. He was lying almost as If
he had lain down to rest but It was
plain that life had been extinct for
several minutes before the body was
discovered. DR.. J. j. Hanna who
happened to be with party in an
automobile taking a spin over that
section Of the town was the first ply.
sician to reach the spot
AS soon sthe news could be Civ
en-, the justice Of the peace went to
the place and took charge of the
body. His verdict will undoubtedly
be that Mr.. Minter came to his death
from natural causes, probably from
some form of heart disease
The remains will be taken in
charge by his brother here and an
nouncement of preparations will be
made at once for the interment.
W. II, Minter was a native Of Ar
kansas and lived in Erath county be-
fore coming to Amarillo. He was a
man well past middle age but showed
no sign of weakness either from age
or disease and the news of his sud
den death is a great surprise to all
who knew HON. Since his separa.
ton from his wife several years ago
he had lived by himself at his small
residence at 500 Madison street,
Although not a learned man as
education goes in university terms,
Mr.. Minter had a good common
school education and was school
teacher for number of years before
coming to Amarillo. He was a man
of broad experience deep thinking
and wide reading, He was man of
an eccentric character but was uni
formly Industrious, upright and clean
lived
His particular hobby was tree
planting and there is not a street in
Amarillo that does not show some of
his work. He followed tree planting
as business and AS mission and
every move toward the Identification
and improvement of the city found
in him a steadfast and earnest ad-
herent. In a quiet but substantial
way he fostered the park idea and
was influential In starting the move
ment that resulted in making the
first planting Of trees in the city
park. This spring he advertised and
gave away scores of packages of
flower seed free to all school chill |
dren who would agree to plant and |
care for them.
Another pet project of his was
books and libraries. At his resi-
dence he has we'll filled library of |
the best works of all kinds. Follow
ing out his avocation of horticulture
and forestry, he had what is un-
doubtedly the best collection of
works on these and kindred subjects
to be found in the country.
Although a man of moderate
means Mr.. Minter had become the
owner OF several pieces of real es-
tate which have advanced in value
and at the present time the real es-
