TAX VALUATIONS
 MUST BE RAISED
NOTICES ARE BEING SENT OUT TO MEMBERS OF BOARDS OF REVENUE AND TO COUNTY CON- SHOWERS.

Montgomery, June 25.-(Speciai) )-Presi- dent J. J. Mitchell of the state tax com mission has sent out circular letter 10 all members of courts of county com missoners and members of the boards Of revenue announcing the determination of the commission to bring up all assess inents in the counties to at least 60 per cent of the fair, cash market value of the property. The letter has been sent out because the commission will not have time to visit all the counties before the July session of the boards when the tax values are fixed.
 The letter stated that the commission has found that property has been as- sessed as low in some counties as % per cent of it's market value, while in other counties it has been fixed at GO per cent of it's market value The commission, the letter stated. has no intention of rais- ing all tax valuations to 100 per cent of the market value, because to do so would increase the assessments of tne counties which are now paying on the high assessments and which might not induce the low assessment counties to come up to 50 per cent of the market value.
 The thetter contains the significant fe- hinder that if the assessments are not raised as requested and taxes capitalized IS directed the commission has the power to revalue and reassess the property GOV cred by them

Flood of Complaints Pour in
 Upon Commission
CHARGE EXCESSIVE RATES
Individuals and Corporations In the Yellow Pine Lumber Industry In the South Ask for a Return
 of Excess Charges.

Washington, June 25.--A deluge of pe- titlons flooded the interstate commerce commission today. In addition to three or four of the usual character, thirty seven complaints were filed with the con- mission in one class of cases, the greatest number ever presented in one day in the . history of the commission.
 The thirty-seven complaints developed from one case recently decided finally by the supreme court of the United States. The case grew out of a com piaint filed several years ago by the National Yellow Pine association against a large number of railroad lines in the southeastern territory of the United States. It was alleged that the railroads were exacting excessive rates on ship ments of yellow pine to various points of the country. The case was heard by the commission very exhaustively and n a decision which was handed down py Commissioner Clements tho contention of the complainants upheld. and the rail- roads were ordered to reduce their rates The railroads carried the ease to the courts and it finally reached ihe supreme court of the United States. In q de- clsion handed down few weeks ago the tribunal held in effect that the decision handed down by the commission was just and reasonable and it must be respected and enforced
 Folio wing this decision, individual and corporations engaged in the yellow pine industry in the south and southwest have instituted complaints before Athe Inter- state commerce commission against prad- tically all of the railroad lines in the southeastern territory. demanding repara- ton for the amounts paid byt them to the railroads in excessive freightAchargeR. While thrty-seven of these cotnplants were filed today. 1t is expected tbEit many more will be submitted to the commits sion in few days. The amounts fin reparation in the thirty-seven complaints vary from few hundred to many thoms- ands of dollars and aggregate 4,826 425t

MARK TWAIN IS
 DOUBLY IGNORED
THE DIST INGulSHED AMERICAN IS THE GUEST OF HONOR AT TWO FUNCTIONS AND HE DELIVERS CHARACTERISTIC ADDRESSES.

London. June 25.--The finest tribute which Mark Twain has received in Eng land was the pilgrims luncheon tn ? honor today.
 The hosts numbered 15o many of whose , names are known on both sides of the Att lantie. Two notable speeches were made that of Secretary for Ireland Birrell, in- troducing Mark Twain, which was classic and full of humor, concluding with a tribute which brought the company to it's feet with prolonged cheering and MT. Clemens reply. which was largely hum- orous. But after talking in this strain for some minutes MT Clemens paused and said:
 "I have chaffed and chaffed and 'chaffed but man does not reach the verge of seYenty-tWo years without knowing life.' He then proceeded in a serious and somewhat pathetic strain which touched his auditors deeply At the finish he bowed his thanks and said:
 'I have to catch a train for Oxford. and withdrew while the hosts cheered en- enthusiastically.
 Before the speeches a telegram of con- gratulations, signed The Undergraduates of Oxford was read as was another from the New York Pilgrims.
 MT Clemens began his speech by thank ing the Oxford men warmly. In the center of the table was a plaster statue of Mark Twain in Pilgrims robes, hold ing a mammoth pen and leading a jump ing frog by string. The programme con- tained verses by Owen Seaman, editor of Punch
 The presence of MT Birrel and many other members of parliament was particu- larly complimentary because in order to attend they were obliged to absent them selves from one of the most important and most interesting debates of the ses- sion.
 The committee in charge of the luncheon was obliged to refuse the applications of nearly d thousand persons of prominence who were anxious to attend.

 Room.

June 25.-Between stlfing sobs with tears streaming from her bright eyes and vainly struggling to con trpl her emotions, Miss Elizabeth Low ing, who has occupied the centre of the stage in the trial of her father, Judge William c. Loving, for the murder of Theodore Estes, told on the witness stand here today the story of her alleged ruin at the hands of the young man her parent shot down. The recital was probably the most dramatic ever heard in Virginia court of justice and rivalled if not sur passed in point of atrociousness the story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw of her eXpe- rience with Stanford White 1t was the same story she said, she told to her father on the day of the tragedy.
 The dead man. she declared. gave her a drink of whisky from flask he had in his pocket. while they were buggy riding the day prior to the killing After taking the drink she immediately began 10 feel dizzy and her head whirled as if she had been given some powerful drug. In this condition and despite her protests, she de- clared that her escort drove her through road not frequently used and despite her screams outraged her.
 Exhausted by the struggle and her mem tai faculties upset by the stlmulant, the witness declared that she recalled noth- ing more until she regained her senses in bed late that night at the home of County Clerk F. L. Kidd, where she had been Nsitine
