DECREASE IN APPEALS.
Only Forty Newarkers Have Objected
to Property Assessments.

Appeals by property-owners from
their assessments were considered by
the County Tax Board in its headquar-
ters in the Court House this afternoon.
Up to date forty such appeals have
been filed with the board by Newark
ers, while fifteen have been filed by
owners OF property in other parts of
the county.
The number of appeals this year is
remarkably small, and President La
throp Anderson and the other mem
bers of the board are agreeably sur
prised over the fact. Last year, when
the board was first in office, there were
about 1900 of these appeals considered
before its work was done The aver
age appeal this year is also much small
Ter, financially than it was a year ago

DENIED TAKING AUT0CAR,
BUT LATER CONFESSED.
Negro Chauffeur of William T. Plum
Son-in-Law of Gottfried Krueger,
Had Machine.

Within two hours after the robbery OF
his runabout Autocar had beer reported 10
the police William I. Plum, son-in-law
of Gottfried Kruger, had his property re-
turned to him, and Chauffeur Carter
Scroggins, a negro employed by Mr..
Plum was locked up at police headquar-
tiers after having confessed to taking the
machine.
quick work on the part of Detective
Sergeant Joseph Farrell resulted in the
arrest. confession and recovery of the ma
chine. The police are now looking up
Scroggins's record. He was a trusted en-
ployee of Mr.. Plum since last May.
When Mr.. Plum went TO his garage in
the rear of his home in High street to get
his runabout Autocar this morning he
found that the machine was gone. He
asked Scroggins if he knew where the
machine was and Scroggins said it must
have been stolen from the garage. Mr..
Plum at once reported the robbery TO
police headquarters, and Detective Ser
geant Farrell was assigned to the case.
He asked Mr.. Plum if he thought that
Scroggins had anything to do with the
robbery. Mr. Plum told him that he had
the utmost confidence in Scroggins. as he
was absolutely honest Farrell went to
the sleeping quarters of Scroggins, which
are over the garage, and Scroggins told
him that he was in bed at II o'clock and
did not hear any noise.
Farrell made few inquiries around the
neighborhood and found out that Scrog-
gins, in company with a negro, had been
out in an automobile as late as l O'Clock.
Farrell accused Scroggins and brought him
to headquarters. He confessed and agreed
to show the police where he had left the
machine. The spot was in Irvington flats,
where the Autocar broke down at an early
hour this morning and was left by Scrog-
gins.
A charge of breaking, entering and steal
ing was made against him. Small rob-
berries that have occurred in places wher5
Scroggins worked will be investigated by
the police. Scroggins is q years old.

STILL MISSING;
WIFE Ill
Latter Broken DOwn--Neigh-
bOrs Say She Was Over
come by Gas.

After spending all day yesterday and
nearly all of last night searching the
police stations and hospitals for her
missing father, Miss May Hoffman,
daughter of William d. Hoffman, who
disappeared Monday night, was sum-
moned to her home, SOB Summer ave-
nue., this morning. by the serious illness
of her mother, who has completely
broken down under the strain of anx-
iety and worry over her husbands dis
appearance.
Members of the family refuse to dis
cuss Mrs. Hoffman's illness or to give
out any information regarding her con-
dition except to say that she is doing
we'll 1t is reported that she was par
TALLY overcome by illuminating gas,
this statement being made by neighbors
of the family.
Seen by an EVENING STAR re-
porter today, Miss Hoffman said that
she has failed utterly to locate her
father, or to find any clue that might
lead to his being found. The girl is
almost heart broken, and fears are en-
tertained that she. too, may break
down completely.
1t is said that domestic disputes pro-
badly caused Hoffman to disappear,
and that his daughter May left home a
little over a week ago because of a
dispute with her father. The belief is
that the man is now in New York
searching for his daughter, but many
discredit this theory, asserting that he
would have read the accounts of his
disappearance in the newspapers and
learned also of his daughters return.
1t is seldom that the police have had
such a deep mystery to solve. All ef-
forts to find persons who saw HOFFMAN
after he left his lodge friends, about
200 feet from his home, on Monday
night, have been futile, and without
such aid, the police assert, they are
powerless.
1t is also rumored that Hoffman may
have gone to Boonton, but this is re-
garded as extremely doubtful by mem
bers of the family.

SAY THEY WON'T RAISE
PRICE OF MILK NOW.

There Is good deal of talk about an
increase in the retail price of milk be-
cause wholesale dealers say they have
to pay more for their milk supply than
they did last year. There was more
reason for a raise in price month ago.
when there was scarcity of milk, than
there is now. Retail dealers say there
Is plenty of milk at present and Will be
for months. The milk trust may in
crease the price, but probably it will
be some time before any raise is made,
is the retail dealers promise.

It's issue tomorrow will say
Bank clearings at the West still testify
to the continued activity of trade and not

due to exceptional conditions in certain

outside New York show continued gains
over previous years, the total for this week
being $955, 795, 1850, AZ per cent larger than
last year and 16.o per cent over the CORE
spending week of 1905. The increase in ex-
changes at Chicago, Minneapolis. st. Louis
and Kansas City Is more than 20 per cent.
over last year, while compared with 1905
there is considerably larger gain. Pitts
burg reports an Increase; likewise Louis
Vile. The loss at New York, Boston and
Philadelphia reflects conditions in the
speculative markets, while at Cincinnati
and New Orleans the delay in marketing
the cotton crop postpones payments. A
festival at Baltimore interrupted business
there one day; hence the very small de-
crease"

Elsewhere.

There will not be any increase in the
retail price of coal for family use until
December /, when the price will be adj
vanced from Sc to S625, which has been
done for several years.
The big coar companies every year
raise the price to wholesale dealers so

ten cents month increase for five
months, but they do not raise the price
to consumers until December /, when
an increase of % cents a ton is made.
In Elizabeth, Paterson, Jersey City
and other places in New Jersey the re-
tail price of coal for domestic use is
now $6.25 a ton. But the secretary of
the New Jersey Coal Exchange said to-
day that the price in Newark will be
