even break on their values. We
try to do il every year, but there
is generally kick. Twenty es,i-
mates Oh the values in ST. Johns
could be made up, and there would
be something the matter with each
one. The people can help the
assessors $ office out II they will.
We are not estimating the value OF
the improvements. but are after the
real valuations of the land. These
values are based OF the valuation
of the land on March OF the pres
Ell, year. An estimate of the val
ties OF property in ST. Johns that
will please everybody is out of the
question, but II the property owners
and tax payers will cooperate with
the assessor ST, Johns values will
be as near correct as experts and
owners can make them"
To allow examination and to
obtain suggestions Mr.. North left u
map with the values of all property
in the city plainly marked, with
the Commercial club. Any person
interested may examine this map
and suggestions as to the actual
values OF real estate in any part OF
the city will be thankfully received.

entitled to a great deal OF consider.
alton for the interest they have
taken in the matter, and II is 10 be
hoped that every courtesy will be
extended to enable them TO get at
facts that will help them TO render
a fair aud impartial appraisement OF
the city's real estate.

There Are 100000 OF Them, Com

poSSu IN &Dt tongues.
There are no less than 10000 Chris
tian hymns. according to DR.. Julian, the
celebrated English authority on sacred
music. and they have been written in
200 or more languages and dialects, says
the Philadelphia Press.
Most popular among these, he SAYS,
are Rock Of Ages, Cleft for Me-" ''Hark,
the Herald Angels Sing" Awake, Ny

Survey the Wondrous Cross"
Some interesting stories are connected
with the origin Of a number of the IA

while she was lying almost helpless upon
a sofa. All her relatives had gone TO an
entertainment and as she suffered alone
in her home she sighed that she might be
taken away just as she was. and the
verses of the hymn which thousands now
sing sprang into her mind.
John Byron, the author Of Chris

hymn as a Christmas offering for his
daughter He inscribed upon the manu-

People Authorize Board of Edu-
cation to Create S250,000
indebtedness.
VOTE WAS VERY LIGHT
LITTLE INTEREST WAS SHOWN
IN THE RESULT.
The Vote.

The taxpayers of Salt Lake at an cleo
ton held yesterday authorized the board
of education to issue bonds in the sum of
$250,000 to build additional schools. The
vote I'm detail is given above
The vote was remarka bly, light and the
terest in the matter to vote seems re
nIarkable in view of the fact that an eX-
penditure of S25000G was authorized. It
is safe to predict that yesterday was the
quietest election day Salt Lake has ever
known. The polling places were deserted
practically until late in the afternoon.
During the earlier part of the day now
and then straggler would drop in and
cast his ballot, but they were few and
far between
A baseball game, prize fight i'm Phila-
delphia or even a scandal from New York
would have caused more talk than did
the proposition to raise $4,000 for edu-
catiOnal purposes.
One of the features of the vote was the
large number of ballots cast against the
a larger prOpOrtiOnate number of chill
dren in the public schools than any
other district in the city. It is also a
district of homes and il was generally
expected that it would roll up a big ma
iority in favor of tine bonds. butt was
the only place where the opposition won
out.
The board of education will hold a
meeting Tuesday evening and will con-
slider the expenditure of the money to be
obtained. 1t will all go into schOOlhOuses
but the number and location of the new
buildings is still to be determined.

STARTED
BY A CRAZY MAN
No Conspiracy Among PennSVl-
Vania Anarchists to Murder
the President.

Washington, April 20.-The announce
ment was made today by secret service
officials that no further attention would
be paid to the statements of Jan Bar
tula who informed the police of New
ark, n. J., that a conspiracy was on
foot among the miners at Hazleton,
Pa, to aSsassinate President Roose-
welt. The officials state that investiga-
ton clearly established the fact that
the story told by Bartula had no foun-
dation, and that his mind had become
unbalanced by the death of his wife
several weeks ego.
Hazelton, Pa, April 20.-A careful in
vestigation made in this section today
failed to sustain the statement made
by Jan Bartula Of Newark. n. j.. of a
plot against the life of President Roose-
welt. The police here say that Jan
Bartula was an inmate of an insane
asylum in this city some years ago.
After his release he was located near
Audenreid. but has since left that
place.
Metro Kapitula, a saloonkeeper of
McAdoo, near here, whom Bartula is
alleged to have implicated in the plot,
is prominent in the Greek Catholic
congregation of McAdoo. He served
two years as treasurer of the borough
of McAdOO. He came here today and
expressed his willingness to appear at
any time before the authorities, saying
he knew nothing of a plot against the
president.

Benefit of the Steamship
Companies.

Washington, April 2O.-The produce
ton of the minutes of the 1905 confer
ences between the Suez and Pacific
in an alleged agreement on rates on
cotton fabrics to the Orient, resulted in
the case in which these rates
are complained of before the interstate
commerce commission today 1t had

resented at. the conferences.
To show this, they agreed to furnish

These minutes were produced by Will
liam Boyd of New York. He submit
ted that the compiainantS should not be
allowed to inspect them, but the COM
might examine and submit as
a part of the record such portions of
the minutes as it might deem pertinent
The minutes were signed by several
of those present at the conference, and
in answer to questions Mr.. Boyd admit
ted that a Mr.. Burnham, one of the
participants, represented the Northern

SULTAN PLACED IN
AWKWARD POSITION

Constantinople, April 20.-Ambassa-
dor Leishman has made a new move
in the American school question by
which he has placed the porte in the
awkward position of appearing to
thwart the will Of the sultan. In his
last communication to the foreign office
the ambassador pOintedly called at
tention to the fact that notwithstand-
ing the formal promises and pledges of
his majesty that a satisfactory settle
ment of the school question would be
arranged, the porte has utterly failed
to carry out the imperial assurances.
The action Of Mr.. Leishman in thus
holding the porte responsible for the
delay is regarded in diplomatic circles
here as being very adrOit. Even Turk
ish circles admit that it places the gov
eminent in the unenviable light of
seeming to oppose the execution of the
Sultan'S promises.

methods employed by him led the po-

arrested in Portland, Ore, but was
turned over to the Maryland authori-

better claim on him.

RATE RULING DESIRED.

Washington. April 20.-The interstate
commerce commission today listened
to an argument by representatives of
the National Educational association,
which desires a ruling which will justi-
fy a request to the railroads for the
usual reduced rates to the annual meet

representatives of several railroads as
to their ability TO give a reduced rate
and comply vito the new rate law.
