S77,OOO.OOO Worth Of Taxable Property
 In Territory
Raises Ordered By The Board Amount To
 $724,000
(TYom Sstusday's Daily.)

All the business of the August meet. ing of the Territorial board of equal. ization has been disposed of except the making up of the record of the pro- ceedings on which the clerks of the auditors office are engaged. The more important facts are that the exact val. ua,ion of the property of the Territory for purposes of taxation is 477,372,. l5G.ll, as against about $62, 2,000, 900, though taxes were collected on only about >57,O00,OO0. The rest of the as. sessment was covered by delinquencies and contests against the mining assess. ment in two counties.
 The raises ordered by the board amounted 10 about $724,OOO. This sum was mostly made up of increases of the assessments of land grants in tho northern part of the Territory and raises of the valuation of non product. i've patented mines in Cochise. The latter raise added about $4O0,OOO to the valuation. These mines had been assessed at &27s each. They were in. creased to about $500, the figures turn. ed in by the other counties.
 There were 2,9i5 such mines return cd altogether, with a valuation, after the equalization, of $2,34l ,Gi2, which added 10 the assessment of the produc ing mines, gives n total assessment of the mines at $i5,sO5,l93, a sweeping increase over the item of mines last year.
 There was n considerable increase ii the returned valuation of city and towr lots and improvements. There was lit tie or no change in the assessment oi cultivated lands. The board ordere, some changes in the shape of increase, in the number of cattle and sheep re turned.
 The session was free from frictio, of any character, n condition whicl had not prevailed in meetings of th, board for several years, or since th, mine taxing question became n burnin, one.

NQ EXCUSE FOR
 CRIME
(From Saturdays Daily.)

According to q decision recently handed down in an unanimous opinion by members of the Territorial supreme court, no act committed by n person, while in a state of voluntary intoxica' ton, is less criminal by his having been in such condition.
 The case in question was that of '. W. flower, who, on May 2s, 1906, made an attack with n knife on Frank Ju. deas. The crime was committed in Mariposa county, and on trial flower was convicted.
 An appeal was taken on the groun I that errors were made in instructions upon the subject of drunkenness.
 The supreme court holds that, if a mans mind was perverted or destroy. ed, although brought on by his own vices, be should not he held account. able; but if, by voluntary act, he temporarily casts off the the restraints of reason and conscience, no wrong is done him if he is considered answer. able for any injury which, in that state, he may do to others or to So. ciety. The judgment and order of the lower court were affirmed.

In 1888, Nr.

decision was handed down in the New York City courts this week. which local attorneys. especially those who are affected by the hot weather, affirm will bc even more far reaching than any ruling yet obtained under the antitrust prosecutions. Briefly sum. med up the decision in question holds that if n person wishes to make a fool of himself or herself, the courts of New York have no right to interfere. Personal foolishness being thus ius,i. fled, statisticians are already trying 'o figure out how many people will he ef. fected by this remarkable decision. The population of New York being in the neighborhood of 3,5OO,OOO, cynical lawyers have already come to the con. clusion that about 3,4s0,000 persons in the greater city will be affected by this surprising judicial ruling, the ex. cmpt 10000 presumably constituting the practitioners before the bar. Should the rnling be applied to the whole country, argues these same cynics, ,t could hardly affect less than 79,OOO. .0OO people, and would therefore easily take precedence over any decision previous. ly rendered by any courts whatever, whether federal, state or municipal. The right of the citizen to make fool of himself was affirmed in n regular proceeding. in which n wife attempted by means of an injunction, 10 prevent her husband from indulging in what, in spite of the decision, was judicially held to be foolishness. Legal experts are already on the watch for the ef. fleets of this decision, whica it is fear. cd may seriously affect the actions of the whole city.

 NEW YORK, Aug. l2.--The sum of s360, ,0OO, ,0OO, enough 10 pay inc Standard Oil hne several times over, represents the decrease in real cstate values in New Yorh, according 10 fig. urcs just compiled, for the first seven months this year as compared to the same period a year ago. Prophets of the long predicted real estate slump find more than . grain of substantia. ton in these figures, which show that while during the first seven months of last year l5,l55 parcels of land were sold for a723, ,G62, ,lsS, or m average of $47 900 each, the corresponding period this year shows sales of SIPS parcels for a total of A36O, ,94O, ,ss6. at an nv. erag. of si2.OOO each. In other words, not only has the average selling price decreased, but the total of activities in what is regarded ss the basis of wealth has fallen off about 60 per cent. Brought down to individual figures, the reaction in New York land values which is in progress amounts Co a loss of &5,O00 on each property handled More than this, the assessed value of real estate properties snows n similar decrease. The total assessed values of properties sold during the 1908 period was &5O3 .OOO, 900, while for this year, ts date, 1t is only s2+7, ,OOO,O0O, or less than one half. Mortgages remain about the same, and an indication of the spirit which has led New Workers to pledge their homes in order to pur. | chase automobiles, diamonds and tns like, is found in the fact that the properties transferred so far this year were cncumbered to the extent of s235 1000. an amount slightly in ex. cess of that born. by double the values last year. This surprising decline of $3GO. .0OO, ,O0O is laid at the door of the lowly flat dweller. of whom the city in all its sections number nearly 75O,' GOO, n population greater than that of any except four cities in the country The suburban outflow of these metro politan cave dwellers is responsible, i' is believed, for the greatest shrinknge in real estate values which New York | has ever known.

New York is naturally somewhat in. terested in the fact that the most famous, as well as the largest young woman in the United States, will he bathea and dressed in public. in the near future. on Bedlo. Island, in the harbor. strange as 1t may seem, An thony Comstoek, the conservator of the morals of the metropolis, has raised m objections to the proceedings, for the young woman in question is none other than the famous Statue of Liberty, in the lower harbor, familiar to all wis. itors to New York. Her bath, which will be real scrubbing from head to toe, will undoubtedly be the most ex. pensive on record, as it is estimated that this badly needed effort at clean. Illness will cost not less than tl,2OO. After this operation is completed, Miss Liberty is to receive an entirely new dress, of bronze, which will cost the modest sum of $500, or ,rine less than sixth of the cost of the ward. robe which sine wore when arriving from France. Figured down to the square yard, this dress, the second which this unlueky female has ever possessed, will not be SO extravagant as might appear from the figures, for she Is n rather sizeable young lady. This is indicated from the fact that n stairway and an elevator are 10 be installed in her good right arm, which upholds the light, which is supposed to make bright the harbor. The eIc. vator, indeed, will circulate through her system in place of blood. The tenn. porary base, faced with boards. on which she stands, Is to be faced with granite, and altogether, after the $6O.. 900 which is to be spent on her rehabil. itation is distributed this famous statue may be really worthy of her place.
