TO INVESTIGATE
PERSONAL TAXES
OF CORPORATIONS
City Board Convinced That In
surance Companies and Banks
Are Not Paying Enough.
P. S. c. AND PRUDENTIAL
OFFICERS MUST TESTIFY
Central Railroad Also Concerned
in Forthcoming Examination
of Personal Assets.

Convinced that some corporations,
banks and insurance companies in this
city were n OF paying enough on per-
sonality, the city Tax Board, at a meet
ing today, decided to summons repre-
sentatives of the Public Service Cor
poration, the Prudential Insurance
Company and possibly several banks,
together with the Central railroad Of
ficials, to appear before the board
Tuesday and, under oath, make known
the amount of personal taxable assets.
The County Tax Board will sit with
the city tax board at the hearing, and
it is confidently expected there will be
a revision made in the taxation of both
insurance companies mentioned, and in
the gas, electric and operating depart
ments of the Public Service Corpora
ton.
One of the cases that. it Is expected,
will take considerable time will be that
of the huge storage house of the Gen.
trail Railroad in Mechanic street. The
city board taxed the railroad $4,000 or
the personal property stored in the
house, and a representative today de-
clared that the entire personality of tht
company did not amount to more thar
$1,000, and that the other goods were
| merely stored.

Over Heads OF Whole Staff of

TRENTON, July 1o.-Wilbur f. Sad
Ter, jr., beau ideal of society and ball

in the State guard by Governor Fort
ALTHOUGH a civilian and never a men,
Der of the guard, the Governor ap-
pointed him over the heads of every
commissioned officer in the State below
the rank of major-a bitter pill for the
whole National Guard.
Governor Fort created the Office of in
spector of small arms, intending to ap-
point Mr.. Sadler to that, but the
National Guard officers raised such an
objection that the Governor, after Gre
ating the office. relented just mite,
and appointed Major David NJ. Flynn
to the post. This left commission of
major vacant and Mr.. Sadler was
named for that. Governor Fort imme-
diately appointed the new major to his
own staff
This gives Sadler the opportunity TO
wear a gorgeous uniform with numer-
Gus gilded ornaments and yards and
yards of gold braid. AS a member of
the Governors staff he has the right
to wear one of the most glittering
splendors of the military tailor's art at

OPINION KNOCKS
OUT SUIT AGAINST
RANKIN ESTATE
Widow of Former Elizabeth
Mayor Shows Letters That
Prove Sparks's UndOing.

William j. Magic, sitting as special
master, has filed an opinion dismiss
ing a suit brought by Walter Sparks,
of New York, against executors of the
S500000 estate of John C. Rankin, for
merly Mayor of Elizabeth.
Sparks, who was an employee of the
New York printing firm of which Ran
kin was president claimed that he was
entitled to $4,000 damages for alleged
failure to live up to a contract made
between them February 16, 1891, under
which Sparks was to receive rs shares
of stock in5the concern. The giving of
the stock was made conditional upon
Sparks's remaining with the firm until
the dividends should amount to the par
value of stock.
Sparks, in 1896, left Rankin's employ
to accept a position with a competing
firm In New York. and Rankin refused
to deliver a portion of the stock, which
Sparks claimed.
Mrs. Rankin produced letters to show
that Sparks had sought to divert the
trade of his former employer, Rankin,
to the competitor with whom he became
associated in 1896, and in one instance
had succeeded. On this ground the
former Chancellor dismissed the suit.

LEAKE SPURNS

Danger of Bryan Dollar Worst
Menace in Years, Jersey DEM
Ocratic Congressman Says.
Especial to the Evening Star.]

JERSEY CITY, July 10.-Congress-
man Eugene W. Leake, of the Ninth
New Jersey Congressional District. and
a Democrat, has renounced William j.
Bryan and declares he will vote for
William H. Taft for President With
his statement, Mr.. Leake made public
a letter he had written to Taft, offer
ing him his support.
Mr. Leakeeame into prominence last
winter, when in Congress he arose and
attacked Bryan TO the dismay of his
fellow Democrats. He is serving his
first term, and will not seek a renomi-
nation.
Congressman Leake today sent the
following letter to Mr. Taft:
Jersey City N. j., July 10, 1908.
Hon. William H. Taft, Hot Springs, Va.
My Dear Mr. Taft cannot subscribe
either to the candidate or the platform
of the Denver convention. The con-
servative citizens of this country, who
are neither reactionary nor the repre-
sentatives of predatory wealth or spe-
cial interests, but who desire rigid
enforcement of the law with equal
handed Justice, must look to you for
protection against the wave of radical
ism and class prejudice which will fol-
low the Denver convention. You will
have my vote on election day, and if,
during the campaign, my services will
be of any value to your national COM
mittee, I will cheerfully tender them.
Very respectfully yours
(Signed) EUGENE w. LEAKE.
Mr.. Leake said today:
"Since the Civil War no greater
peril has confronted the country than
the danger of a Bryan dollar, which
means repudiation and prostitution of
the Democratic party to few
labor agitators, which means riot.
If the candidate and the platform
are the standards of Democracy,
1 am no longer a Democrat, and will
oppose this new labor organization
masquerading under the guise of the
Democratic party, whose SUCCESSORS
can only be based upon class hatred,
prejudices and demagogy. 1t behooves
the laboring man who does not wish to
bring about condition in which 1t will
be Improbable to manufacture, who
seeks work instead of the promises of
politicians; the business man, mer
chant and investor VINO prefers pros
perity to bankruptcy, and those who
cherish the maintenance of American
ideals, to support for the Presidency,
irrespective of their previous party
affiliations, the honorable William H.
Taft"

. The incident attendant upon the
! nomination of Bryan and the adoption
of the platform were dramatic in the
extreme The resolutions COMMITTEES
had labored almost continuously for
more than fifty-four hours in agreeing
on the platform. The nomination came
at $40 o'clock this morning amid scenes
of frenzied enthusiasm. This was after
an all night session, which was kept
in a constant state of turmoil up to the
eliminating moment when the
Nebraska leader was proclaimed the
choice of the convention as the Demo-
cratic standardbearer.
The nomination was made on the
first and only ballot, the vote standing:

Hoke Smith. Watson supported the
Brown faction. and It is rumored that
this faction will not strongly oppose Wat
