TAX MATTERS.

Today is the last day in which the
town and village treasurers are limited
10 make their return of state tax to the
county treasurer, but up to date only
thirty-two have eonformed with the re-
qnirements of the law. Many of them
hold back their state tax until such
time as they can make complete settle
ment with the county treasurer. As
this county invariably draws more
from the state than is paid TO it, and
turns over no cash to the state, it
makes little difference to the county
treasurer whether the town rreasurers
turn in their state tax at the xpiration
OF the required time or not,

nicely. The pupils met at the school
house at eight o'clock Saturday morn
ing. About half rode on ponies and
the others went in wagon. They
left town with banners and streamers
of orange and black flying, and when
the mountains were reached games
were played and general good time
enjoyed. But the part that seemed
best to the picnicers was the dinner
for the mountain air certainly made the
hungry. About four o'clock they
started for home, arriving here about
six.
A musical program was given Friday
morning in the high school assembly
room. All grades on the second floor
were invited but the eighth A could
not attend on account of exams.
Most of the pupils of Misses Kohn
and Wizard were at the train Saturday
to bid the ladies goodbye.

R. R. RATES TO ADVANCE
Continued from Page ~


that the wages of the great army of
l 800, 600 railroad employees shall be re-
duced and they must accept the full
measure of responsibility for the re-
suits.
In other words, the railroads demand
greater revenues, and, in order that
the raise may be accomplished with the
least friction possible. have left the
matter of how it is to be accomplished
to the shippers and the general public.
The result of the conference was the
agreement on the part of the shippers
to abide by the decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on the
matter.
That this proposed advance, if put
into effect, will be extended to cover
the remainder of the country, is not
doubted. The Southwestern roads, COW
ering the territory south of the Ohio
to the Gulf, have already proclaimed
their intention of following the lead
of the official classification" roads
and no doubt the west would soon be
directly affected. Considering the at
titude of the public as we'll as that of
the railroad leaders, however, it is
doubtful whether the advances, at least
to the extent outlined, will be put into
effect.

CHEAPER GAS HERE.
Bill to Repeal Stock Imitation Clause
Favorably Reported to House.

The bill to repeal the stock imitation
clause of the local gas act of 1896 was
favorably reported to the House by the
District committee today. At the meet
ing of the committee on Thursday of next
week ii is probable that action will be
taken looking to cheaper gas for the
District. Lack Of time alone. it is under
stood kept the committee from authoriz-
duce a bill for ninety-cent gas in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The repeal bill was the only measure
on which action was taken a today's ses-
sion. although the Smith public, utilities
mea sure was discussed at considerable
length. Chairman Smith found that prac-
tically every member Of the committee
favored some sort of supervision of the
public service corporations of the District
of Columbia. but that every member OF
the committee had some sort of differ
cnt idea about how this supervision
should be accomplished.
Some members favor the utilities bill
in its present form; others would cotton
to it with certain amendments; others

the city of Washington and District of
Columbia. should be sort of d temporary
affair. created 10 step in. investigate.

then step out again, while there is quite
| some sentiment in the committee for

Commissioners.
| The members of the District committee
do not pretend to know. they say. just
what the price for gas in the District OF

| satisfied, from what transpired at today s
session of the committee. that 81 d thou

the committee would not make any mis-
| take or be at all unfair to the gas COM
pany in fixing the rate at 30 cents a

ter will be discussed more fully at the
| meeting next Thursday and action OF
some sort authorized. There is no diles-
ton. it appears. but that a. bill for rea-
| sonable cut in the price OF gas here would
pass the House once the membership had
d chance to vote on the proposition.

HEAP BIG INDIAN NOW
CHIEFS WAR BONNET PRESENT
ED TO SENATOR CLAPP.

Chief Plenty Coos of the Crow Indians
of Montana has buried the hatchet and
is no longer at war with his white
brother. AS a proof of this the chief
presented his big eagle-feathered war
bonnet to Great White Chief Clapp, chair
man Of the Senate committee on Indian
affairs, at a meeting of the committee
this morning Plenty Coos is here with
a delegation of his tribesmen to urge Con-
gress not TO open the Crow reservation
to settlement. He likes the treatment he
has received from the committee.
In the speech that he made to Senator
Clapp this morning he voiced this ap-
probation and announced the fact that
never again would he take up the hatchet
against the white man.
Senator Clapp made a fitting reply and
heartily thanked the chief for the sentl-
ments and the bonnet.
The Plenty Coos war bonnet is A reg
ulation affair. 1t is made of beautiful
eagle feathers, securely fastened TO a
heavy. strip of buckskin, and has buck
skin band to fit the head. 1t reaches
from the head to the heels of the wear
er and gives him an extremely savage
appearance.
The gift created a mild sensation in the
committee ROOM Everybody present was
members of the committee suggested
that Mr.. Clapp put it on. but the great
white chief declined.
The chairman is A big, dignihed-looking &
man. but his features are hardly those
of the red man, and doubtless he feared
he would cut a ridiculous figure In the
bonnet and become the laughing stock OF
the committee.

Action of Union Regarded

A strike of bricklayers was ordered to-

liver ten bricklayers were called off from
work on the new structure being erected
at the Washington barracks by Con-

the bricklayers were pulled because
non-union carpenters were at work on
the job. This strike. following SO close
upon the meeting of the BrickIayers'
Union is regarded in labor circles as sig

The statement was made that the En-

applications for employment from me-
chanics in this and other cities. and that
on the waiting list are the names of many
bricklayers. The employers are said to be

MURPHY AS DICTATOR
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS SORE.
TALK OF ANOTHER CONVENTION

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 16.-Folowing the
action last night of the democratic state
convention there was talk today of the
calling of another state convention that
would send contesting delegation to
on all sides and many of the upstate
delegates who left for their homes this
morning declared their strong disapproval
of the way in which Charles F. Murphy,
as dictator. had run the convention.
The ousting of Patrick McCarren and
his Kings county delegates was consider
ed only one incident in the general situ-
alton. McCarren himself declined TO talk
further about it this morning, but his
friends declared that the only thing his
opponents won was the control of the
democratic state committee. They were
confident, they said. that at the Septem-
ber primaries the senator would sweep
his enemies in Kings to the sea.
Upstate Democrats Incensed.
Delegates from up the state were in
censed, however. at the way they had
been used to put the anti i-McCarren pro-
gram through. Many of them announced
that they wanted d second convention
where they could express their views. The
opinion was given that if another conven-
ton was called il would send a delegation
instructed for Bryan.
From Syracuse came the news this
morning that Melvin Il. Haven had writ
