FEAR COMING OF PRoHlslracN.
sibuious Washingtonians Said 70 0s
Alarmed at Outlook.

A large part of Washington actually
Is worried over the fear that the pro.
hibition wave from the south, in
creased in strength and in volume by
the smaller prohibition wave from the
west, may engulf the District Of Co
lumbia. Total abstinence OF the en-.
forced kind is having its day
In the land, and 1t may be
that it's day will continue. Washington
without a drink would be sad place
for some of the officials and for many
Of the visitors, but as matter of fact
congress itself would feel the absence
Of liquor less than the country seems
to think. 1t is only fair to the senators
and representatives to say that they
are not a bibulous lot.
Washington on Sunday as far as
the places OF business are concerned
resembles the city OF the day before
the influx of Europeans brought their
Sunday ideas to this country and
changed the whole nature Of things.
You can't get shaved in Washington
on Sunday unless you shave yourself,
and as ordinary language runs this
isn't getting shaved" Every saloon
in Washington is closed on the first
day of the week, and closed tighter
than the proverbial drum, but never
theless It Is easy to get a drink In
the city.
There are clubs in Washington
whose sole business it is to sell
drinks. Membership in them costs a
dollar or two a year. The clubs fill
their tills on Sunday. Already the
liquor interests are pooling to fight
prohibition in the capital

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM HOME
WHEN MOST NEEDED.

People are often very much dfsap-
uointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases ike
cramp, collie and diarrhoea require
prompt treatment, and in many in
stances prove fatal before medicine can
be procured or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribe a better medicine for
these diseases. Sold by all dealers.

PRESIDENT WARNER.

elected president Of the National
Editorial Association, which held SEES

friends and the public generally, ap-
preciate this honor so worthily be-

of the vice-presidents of the Nation

years, has been twice president of
the North Carolina Press Association.
and is Commissioner Of Printing and
Labor Statistics for North Carolina.
He has filled all these positions with
efficiency, and he has won his latest
honors through merit and ability.
He publishes one of the best weekly

congratulating him on the honors he
has won for himself and the honor

PROPER TAX VALUE.

The COMMONWEALTH has all the
while contended for the proper tax
valuation of property. If property
has not been listed at it's true and
proper value the rate of taxation has
been too high.
A certain amount of money has to
be raised in each county to meet ex-
penses, So low value of proper, y
makes high rate of taxation. This
works disadvantage to any county.
Suppose some one wishes to invest
money in county in which the value
of property is low and the tax rate
is high. He can see by little inves-
tigation that the rate is high, but he
has no way Of knowing that the
property is valued low. 1t would be
much better to place the true and
full value on the property, which
would lower the rate of taxation.
The prospective investor would not
be frightened away by high rate Of
taxes.
We clip the following from the
Charlotte Observer:
The Statesville Landmark de-
clares with conviction that it is inf
nltely better to have property asses
cause the law requires it but as a
matter of policy-and have a low tax
rate, than to have low valuation of
property and high tax rate The
Landmark holds that an actual-value
assessment would make a difference
only to the large taxpayer, who,
as 1t truly says, does not bear his
proportion of the burden under the
system now generally prevailing and
would consequently have no lust
cause for complaint.
I'VE do not believe that these
propositions regarding the assess
ment of property can be successfully
controverted.

HIS SUICIDE REVEALS
TRAGEDY; WOMAN WIFE
OF DEAD MANS BROTHER

special to The Herald.
PHOENIX, Ariz., June 81
The suicide of John w. Fer
guson, alias John Wright, by
taking morphine in his room
in a hotel at Mesa City, eight
cen miles east of here, yester-
day reveals an unusal tragedy
of life and death. Mrs. Eva
Wright, supposed to be his
wife, was in an adjoining room
all but unconscious, suffering
from a broken skull, the result
of falling in a well at Chandler
ranch two weeks ago. Since
that event Ferguson has been
very despondentsand a note he
left directed that his money be
given to his wife. He asked
forgiveness and said he could
stand it no longer. The young
people came to this section a
few weeks ago and were en-
ployed at Chandler. Ferguson
was aged % and the woman
was seven years older. Meth
er referred to the past, even at
ter the woman was injured,
and friends desired to notify
her relatives, believing the in
jury fatal. Today the woman
acknowledged that her maiden
name was Eva Wright, that
her parents are living in Kea-
ton county, Kentucky, and that
the man with whom she has
been living was the brother of
her husband, who, she believes,
is now in Thatcher, Arizona.
He will be notified if possible.

FILE COMPLAINT
AGAINST D|NAN
Grand Jury Charges San Francisco
Police Chief with Corrupt Con-
duct In Subverting Law to
Secure Acquitta

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 3.-The grand
jury late this afternoon filed with District
Attorney Langdon a formal complaint
against Chief of Police jeremiah P.
Dinan,- charging him with wilful and
corrupt misconduct in office in that he
subverted the law in endeavoring to Sc
cure the acquittal of a defendant with
out the knowledge of the district attor-
ney. The defendant in the case was
Mayor Schmitz and the investigation by
the grand jury grew out of the accusa-
ton of Assistant District Attorney Fran
els ]. Heney that Chief Dinan had at
tempted to tamper with the talesmen
drawn for the jury which is to try the
mayor on the charge of extortion.
Dinan was accused by Heney of having
detailed some of his officers to interview
prospective jurors in the interest of
Schmitz. The chief practically admitted
having detailed men to shadow some of
the men on the venire, but declared that
he did so because he wanted to see that
no improper person got on the jury. An
other basis for the information filed by
the grand jury is the accusation that the
chief afforded protection to a disorderly
resort
Dinan has ten days to answer the COM
plant and must stand trial in the su-
perior court with removal from his po-
sition as the penalty if he is found
guilty.

The flames, famed by a strong wind,
spread with great rapidity and for time
a serious fire was threatened Eight
families occupied the floors above the hall
and the policemen were kept busy rescu-

The apartment occupied by Janitor
Hoenike and wife and child was on the
top floor of the building, which was four
stories high. Only one stairway led from
the janitor's apartment to the street and
exit by the way was quickly cut off by
the flames. Soon after the alarm was
spread the janitor and his wife were seen
frantically running about on the roof of
an extension searching for some means to
reach the ground. Shortly afterward
Hoenike was seen through the smoke in
the window of his apartments as though
contemplating a jump to the street. The
spectators shouted to him to wait for the
arrival of the firemen. He disappeared in
the smoke and neither he nor his wife nor
child were seen again.

was affirmed today in an opinion hand.
ed down by the United States circuit
court of appeals. The sentence is four
years imprisonment each and a fine ag-
gregating s575,000.
Judge Mccormick rendered, the opinion
and Judge Pardee dssented.
The court held that the defendants
were extradited for an offense for which
they had been twice indicted.
Replying to the contention that their
offense was not extraditable under the
treaty, the court held first that 1t was
extraditable and also that even # ,d the !;
tion for this offense nevertheless the
parties to this treaty could have taken ks
offense and that such action would have
applied to a previously committed OIL
fenSe.
on the ground that they were fugitives
from justice the. court dismissed the de-
fendants' plea for the benefit of the
statute of limitations.
