THE insurrection against Cannon had

which Townsend, a member OF the House
from California and myself were present
The names Of fifteen members Of the
House who could be depended upon were
selected and each OF us was assigned to q
ertain number Of these members to ask
them to attend a meeting TO organize a
movement for the revision of the rules.
But as we spoke to these men we were met
with replies that So and So would also like
TO Join, and the result was that when
the meeting was held we had about
twenty-five members present Hepburn
Of Iowa was made chairman and Scott
of Kansas secretary and a committee
on revision was appointed The matter
of getting 1t before the House under the

NEW BAY STATE TAN LAWS

Property That Has Escaped TaxatIen.


Property That Has Escaped TaxatLen.
BOSTON, Dec. 26-As a result OF the
efforts Of local assessors working in con-
junction with the office Of the State Tax
Commissioner approximately 5000. 900
Of personal property which has hereto
fore escaped taxation has this year been
discovered and placed in the valuation
lists. OF the 354 cities and towns 210 have
thus far been heard from and these
show a total increase Of $28, ,4s5. .336. but
as several cities, including Boston, are
among those which have not yet made
returns there Is no doubt that the figures
will be more than $50. 900 900.
The property which Is thus brought
into the valuation lists is wholly per-
sonal, consisting largely OF shares OF
stock in business corporations. and has
been discovered largely through the
workings Of the law passed at the last
State Tax Commissioner to place at the
disposal of local assessors such informa-
ton as he may secure through the inheri-
tance tax law.
The law creating supervisors Of asses-
sors has also proved helpful, as these new
officials have q rowing commission upder
which they 60 all over the Commonwe IA
authority to examine records In regis
tries of deeds, probate courts, &c. And
sich information as they gather through
these sources is also placed at the dis
posal of local assessors.
In Boston the assessors have not yet
finished their work OF looking up the
property. but already, 1t is understood,

The first of the oratorlo Society's GUS
tonary Christmastide performances of
The Messiah took place yesterday after
noon at Carnegie Hall. The audience was
not quite as large az is usually seen when
thi. oratorio is sung. but doubtless the
matinee followed little too closely on
the heels Of the Christmas festivities.
The work was heard with rapt attention
and the applause was most generous
In some respects the performance was
better than those OF last season. The
chief factor in the improvement appeared
to he the readiness Of the soloists TO take
their numbers at quicker tempt than
. those of last winter.
The ability Of the principal singers to
deliver their measures with rhythmi o
life gave the entire oratorio a quicker
movement and made its pulses beat With
more vigor. The iethargy which has
fallen upon some previous performances
WAS altogether absent, and while there
we're some regrettable shortcomings, the
general effect was inspiriting.
The solo singers were Corinne Rider
Kelsey, soprano; Gertrude Lonsdale, con-
