Proceedings Recently Filed and Hus-
band Believes Annis the
InstIERtOr,

BOSTON, Aug ia possible motive for
the killing of William F. Anns at the Bay
side Yacht club last Saturday by Captain
Peter c. Hams, jr., may be found in the
fact made known today that Mrs. Hams
had filed a suit for divorce against her
husband, the papers having been served
upon Captain Hains August 10. In her
suit Mrs. Hams made sensational charges
against her husbands character and de-
manded a public hearing.
Mrs. Hains believes that Captain Hams
and his brother concluded that Mr.. Annis
was behind the bringing of the accusations
and had suggested TO Mrs. Hams that the
only way she could clear herself OF the
charges preferred by Captain Hams in his
divorce action was by demanding that her
case he tried in open court.
Charles II. Libbey OF Boston, father of
Mrs. Hains, said that his daughter re-
turned to her fathers home on June .,
after having been cruelty beaten and i'll
treated by her husband. Mr.. Libbey said
that Captain Hams attacked, his wife at
Fort Hamiton last May and after the
beating he is alleged to have given her

BOARD DREDUCESLANDV VALUES
Some More Wind Taken Out of the
Demo-Pop Sails.
COMPARISONS ARE INSTRUCTIVE
Valuations Placed Upon Railroad. by
the Republican Board and by the
Democratic OmcinIs When
They Were in Power.
From a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Aug. 19.-(SpeCial)-Th total
assessment of lands, as equallzed by the
State Board of Equalization, is less than
the total value placed upon lands by the
various county assessors of the state In
some counties the state board increased the
land values and in some counties It made
decreases, in order to equalize between
counties, but the aggregate assessmeas is
less than that made by the county asses
sors themselves. The county assessors are
responsible for the valuation placed on all
property except railroads, which goes to
make up the grand assessment roll.
The law requires the State Board of
Equalization to pass upon the work Of
county assessors and to equalIze these re-
turns between counties so that every class
of property may bear its Just burden of
taxes. The board must see to II that the
actual value IL placed upon every piece
of property. It is not the duty OF the
board to inquire what relation one class
OF property bears to another class, but to
list each at its true value.
1t is not the duty Of the State Board
of Equalization TO maintain a certain ratio
between the value OF railroad property
and the value Of lands, any more than il
Is the duty Of congress to maintain a
ratio Of Is to l between silver and gold,
as Mr., Bryan used to insist
The law specifically prescribes how rail-
roads shall be assessed and the value
| placed upon this class of property by the
State Board OF Assessment is in the esti-
nation OF a majority OF the board the
| true actual market value. In the case OF
| the Northwestern, officials swore that the
road could be reproduced for 100000 less
| than the value placed upon It by the state
/ board. The Union Pacific, which one mem
/ ber OF the board thought was assessed too
/ low compared with the other roads was
| valued on its main line at SlO7.OOO a mile.
! While democratic newspapers and can
/ didstes are insisting that the state board
/ is shifting the tax burdens from the rail-
I roads to the farmers not single one
| has said the farm lands are assessed too
/ high and not one has said railroads are
/ assessed too low. One editor who lam
basted the board was invited to appear
and give evidence against the railroads.

! orators are now saying that lands in Ne

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. l9-The speech
Mr. Taft will deliver here Friday to the
republicans of Virginia will involve, ac-
cording to a statement of Mr.. Vorys today,
a general reference to the part taken by
the republican and democratic parties in
meeting the abuses of trusts and monopo-
lies, with a reference to the duty OF south
ern republicans TO make every effort to
increase the republican vote in the south
by accessions from the ranks of independ-
ent democrats It will point added Mr
Verys, the issues upon which such demo-
Gratis must sympathize with the republican
position and republican success.
James r. Garfield, secretary Of the in
terror, reached here from a trip through
California, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and Utah. He
made a report to Mr. Taft on political con-
ditions as he observed them which, he
said afterward, was a very optimistic re-
port from a republican standpoint.
THE political sentiment as I ascertained
it," said Mr.. Garfield, was exceedingly
favorable TO Mr.. Taft There was local
trouble in some OF the state l visited. but
I was told by both factions in each case
that nothing would interfere with the head
or lne tckel. Business Is BOOdY crops are
good, and l never have seen such heavy

Mr.. Garfield said that the train on which
he came east was polled at Kansas City,

HOW ISLANDS GET FORESTS
Seeds of Plants and Trees Are Carried
Far on the Feet of Journeying
Birds.
Copyright by Walden Faweest

Darwin explains how islands get
their forest growth in this manner ::
He took from the foot of a wood
cock cake of dry earth in which
was a seed of the load rust. He
planted the seed, and it terminated
and lowered. Prof. Newton sent
him the leg of partridge which
had been wounded and unable to fly.
Attached to it was a clod of earth
weighing 61a ounces. He broke up
the clod and placed it under a bell
glass. No fewer than SO plants
sprang from it. 1t is the more in
teresting to know that the clod of
earth containing this treasury was
kept three years before planting.
1t is believed in this manner seeds
of various trees have been carried
and deposited on PARKWAY islands
where the product has grown and in
creased.

FEMALE PHlLANTHRoPIsTs.

Over thirty millions of dollars
were given by women to philanthropy
during the past year. Mrs. Russell
Sage gave more than any other one
person with the single exception of
John d. Rockefeller. While some of
her gifts are not large they mean
much to some young people. She
recently gave $2,700 to pay the rent
of the school building of the Pascal
institute in New York city and to
cover the expenses Of free vacation
classes for young children. To Sag
Harbor, l.. l., she gave the fair
grounds to be turned into a park
especially for the children. When
the citizens proposed changing the
name of the village to Sage Harbor
she declared that the old place
should cling to its original name.
