A significant feature of statistics Just
issued by the Paris police, showing that
1.Soo,0 coo persons from all parts of the world
visited the city during 1907, was that the
greatest number of arrivals occurred dur

estimated to have spent the enormous sum
of $500. 900. 900 in the gay French capital.

ERIE GIVES BOARD OF
TAXATION NUT TO CRACK.
Railroad Company Files Thirty Appeals
and Its Lawyers Arguments
Cause Considerable Reelection.

PATTERSON, Jan. 25.-About thirty APP
peals have been filed by the Erie Railroad
Company with the County Board of Taxa
ton and will be considered by the board
next Tuesday afternoon.
A contention which bids fair to puzzle
the board has been set up by the company
in the petitions filed for remissions on the
~second-class property of the Paterson and
Hudson River Railroad Company, the Pat
erson and Ramapo Company, the Green
wood Lake Division and the Paterson and
Newark Railroad, of which the Erie Is the
lessee.
1t will be claimed by the railroads rep
resentative that the second-class property
cannot he assessed at local rates, as provid-
ed by the Perkins act, and should be as
sessed in accordance with the terms of the
leased companies charters. These charters,
it will be maintained. are in the nature of
a contract with the State, and call for a
rate of one and one-half per cent, or only
$50 on $1,000. These assessments, it will be
further contended, should be levied against
the original companies.
The recent decision of the Court of Errors
and Appeals, by which the Perkins act
was declared unconstitutional, has the mem
bers of the tax board in somewhat of a
quandary.

in its rush of action. The fact that it IS
melodramatic and crude in its presentation
of character and it's highly conventional
love interest won't bother them in the
least. They won't even stop to wonder
why the author didn't explain just how 1t
was that the heroine came to be mixed up
with all this underground International in

SO busy thinking up other things that he
didn't have time. Anyway, she had to be

TRIBUTE TO |. T. WISs.
Officials of Local Auto Club Will Attend
Funeral of Departed vice-President.

TIL announcement Of the sudden death Of
Louis 7. Weiss, which occurred yesterday.
came as a stunning blow to the members
of the New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club, of which the deceased was vice.
president. Trustees of the club, together
with the other officials. will meet at the
clubhouse Monday noon and go in a body to
attend the funeral.
Though the office of vice-president, to
which he was elected last May, was the
first Mr.. Wiss ever held in the club, he
had been prominent in club activities for
some time. His efforts at the time Of the
three-day endurance contest held last
spring were responsible in no small meas
ure for making that event a success. MI.
Wiss also had a prominent part in casting
the plans for the highly successful
Neutrality-suspicious. event last November.
Mr.. Wiss was popular among the club
members with whom he came in contact,
and ran ahead Of his ticket at the time OF
the election last May. Following the Gus
tom of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club, he would doubtless have been
its next president had he lived until the
end of his term.

Carries Away the Wooden
Protection.

ASBURY PARK, Jan. 25.-Most OF
the coast towns and resort in this
vicinity have suffered more or less by
yesterdays storm, and traffic in some
parts has been entirely tied up. The
trolley service between here and Long
Branch and the places to the south had
to be discontinued for a time on ac-
count of the great snowfall.
At Long Branch the damage was
greater than anywhere else. The
wooden protection along the water
front, recently erected. was rendered
almost useless by the heavy surf, which
dashed completely over 1T. Some sec
lions were torn away and thrown upon
the boardwalk.
Seabright was also hard hit. The
~bulkheads put in there not long ago
were undermined. as were several cot
tages along the beach. Centre street
was flooded Inc Dederer's pavilion
was wrecked by the force of the waves.
