PITTSBURG WOMEN YIELD RICH HARVEST IN TAXES.
With Maiden
nto About inherited From Parents

Pittsburg, Pa.-Wives of hun
dreds of Pittsburg rich men, after
several years of alleged holding out"
on the city assessors with their bonds
and mortgages, have at last been
taken into camp through clever
move on the part of the assessors,
who are now boasting of it to the
discontinue of the women who wear
blue silk stockings.
The assessors claim to have uncov-
cred assessable paper worth more
than $1,00O,000, which has lain in
rosewood cases for years under cover,
the owners not caring to pay taxes on
it, and so never made returns of it to
the assessors.
The Pittsburg blue book was the
medium through which the assessors
of Pittsburg hung one of the most
monumental bluffs ever worked off
on unsuspecting women. The cry
ing need of more taxable property
appealed to the assessors, and they
decided to call on the rich women of
Pittsburg, who have long been sus-
pected of having much taxable paper
which has never been turned in.
Thousands of letters were sent out
to Mrs. John Smith, Mrs. William
Jones or Mrs. James Green, asking
them to please make statements to
the assessors regarding stocks, bonds,
mortgages, ETC., that they were sup
posed to possess. This brought moth
ing. Mesdames Smith, Jones and
Green ignored the summons as they
had done for years.
Finally the blue book was thought
of. There was some hard detective
work, and within a week other let
tiers were sent out, but this time adj
dressed to Mrs. Lucille Jamison
Smith, Mrs. Vera Worthington Jones
and Mrs. Margaret Clancy Green,
and the letters read something like
this:

City Assessors full particulars re-

HISGEN GETS NOTIFICATION
Informed of His Selection ia
Head independence Party.
John Temple Graves, Candidate For
Vice-President, Too Ill to Be
Notified, as Was Intended.

New York City.-Thomas L. His.
gen, of Massachusetts, was formally
notified in this city that he was the
choice of the first national convention
of the Independence party for the
Presidential nomination.
The enthusiasm that punctuated
the official ceremony was too vast to
be held within the walls of the Ma
tional independence Club, No. IL
Gramercy Park, and it overiowed
through every outlet into the street.
There several thousands of Inde-
pendence party men who had been
unable to get into the clubhouse took
UP the cheering for Hisgen and
Graves, and one after another for the
many national reforms demanded in
the party's Chicago platform.
AS demonstration it was unique
to all New York. 1t sounded a warn
ing to the leaders of both the old par
ties that new party had been born
into the land and a new power in pol
itics was to be reckoned with.
Mr.. Hisgen was informed of his
nomination by Thomas A. Powell, of
Brooklyn, chairman of the committee
on notification.
Although Mr. Hisgen has been ac-
lively campaigning in Vermont and
other parts of New England for the
past two weeks, it was his first ap-
pearance in New York since his NOM
ination. The crowd which packed
the clubhouse to the last inch of
standing room took to him like an old
friend. He earned their real and last
ing friendship before he was half
through with the speech of accept
ance, in which he stood upon every
plank of the new party's platform.
William Randolph Hearst, the ma
tional chairman of the party, respond
ed to repeated calls from the crowd
with stirring speech.
John Temple Graves, the Independ-
ent nominee for Vice-President, was
to have been notified jointly with Mr..
Hisgen. On the advice of his physi-
clan he remained in the mountains of
Virginia, where he has been recover
ing from recent operation. How
over, he sent telegram of felicita-
ton to his running mate and a mes
sage to the rank and file of the party
that before the end of the week he
would be in harness and ready for a
whirlwind campaign. His formal no.
LITIGATION will come later in the month.

BROWNS WITH TWO CHILDREN.
Mother Dragged Down in Water
When Trying to Save Them.

Brooklyn, N. Yin a brave at
tempt to save her two little children
from drowning in Broad Channel,
Jamaica Bay, mother plunged into
the water where they were struggling,
but the combined weight of the little
ones, one of whom was trying to save
the other, pulled her down and all
three were drowned.
Richard Radermacher, four years
old, fell from a float from which he
and his sister, Ida, eleven years old,
were fishing, and the little girl
plunged in after him to save his life.
The struggles of the children were
seen by their mother, who ran from
their cottage nearby and dived into
the water after them. In his fright
the little boy grasped his sister and
pulled her under. AS she struck
bravely out for the surface she saw
her mother, whom she, almost ex-
hausted, seized. Then the woman
was pulled under by the combined
weight of her children and none came
to the surface alive.
