APPEALS REACH 29S Board of Relief Has GA More to Consider Than Last
 Years Board.
PECK BROTHERS OBJECT
Ask That Machinery Valued at S100,- 900 Be Reduced to SS0,000 for
 Depreciation.

At o'clock last night the board of relief completed its public sessions for the hearing of appeals from the assessment levied this year by the board of assessors and when the tally had been completed 1t was found that there had been q total of 29S appeals this year against 229 last year, Most of those which were introduced yes- terday were small appeals, but they came in goodly numbers and kept the board working until the hour of clos ing. Among, the larger eases which were brought to the attention of the board was. that of the Grand opera house, the owners of which appeal from an assessment of s92.060, Against assessments on two pieces of property, one in State street and the other in Crown street, c. A. Moeler makes ap- plicatlon for relief.
 Peck Brothers & Co. appealed yes. terday from the assessment levied on it's machinery and tools. This was, set at sl00, 900, which sum has been maintained for some time. The mem- bers of the firm who filed the appeal stated that there was large part of the machinery which had been used by the firm for work which Is no longer done by 1t and this is now ob- solete machinery which is not used and which Is, therefore. worth little more to the firm than so much junk. They further argued that the deprecia- ton of the machinery which has been installed for many years would in the ten years since the assessment of Sl00,000 was set, mean much and should be taken Into consideration. They asked that the assessment be re- duced to ss0,00

Gov, Chanler. democratic candidate for governor of New York was also on the platform.
 Mir. Kern said: "If you ask the re- publican business man In New York If he Is In favor of the establishment of the postal savings bank he will at once answer in the negative. If you then call his attention to the fact that Mir. Taft Is pledged, through his plat form, to the establishment of postal savings banks In this country, he will shrug his shoulders, and if honest will tell you that he does not believe that any serious effort will be made on behalf of that reform In event of Mir Taft's election Yet that man will vote for Taft with the distinct belief that he Is deliberately attempting 10 deceive the American people and trick them out of their votes.
 Ask the average protected manufac- turer If he Is in favor or the law pro viding that no injunction or restrain ing order shall under any circumstan- ces be issued by any court without mo- { ce, and you will receive firm and decisive answer that he is in favor of no such thing Then IT you call his at tention to the fact that Mir Taft Is pledged to the carrying out of the Roosevelt policies, and that Mir Roose- welt in his message of March 25 last declared that no temporary restraining order should be issued by any court without notice, he will inform you that he has not the slightest fear that un. der Mir Tafts administration, any such legislation would be seriously consid cred And this man will likely vote foi Taft for the express reason that he Ina, no confidence in the pledges his candi. date has made to the people.

 After Election.

New York, Oct 1b.-"should not the fact that men believe that candidate for the presidency intends when elected to violate the pledges made by him and his party be most potent reason why honest and patriotic men should withhold their support from him and his cause"
 "should the fact that a candidate for the presidency Is regarded as SO honest as to be incapable of violating his plat form pledges be an argument against his election?"
 These questions put by John W. Kern, democratic nominee for the vice. presidency, to crowd that filled every available foot of room In Tammany hall tonight were answered by a furi- ous outburst of shouting and cheering the like of which the nominee had not heard since he entered upon his speak ing campaign five weeks ago Lieut.

Details nf "The Clansman,

The average person has little idea the ti1le, labor and expense re- qUred to produce even an ordinary drama, When the play in question IS great scenic affair like "The Ciansman' the details of organization i and production are as numerous and expensive as those of a great indus trial enterprise.
 It cost to build The Clansman" at least $2o,o00. Strange as it may seem play must be built as house or public edifice. First. Manager Geo. II. Brennan chose from The Leo- pard's Spots" and The Clansman" those scenes which lent themselves to stage effects. An artist prepared 8 careful miniature model of each scene, something like the toy scenery that travels round the windows of department stores at holiday times. r These models are all according to scale. Working from them the scen- cry constructors laid out the carpen- try work and the painters painted the canvass, ranging from the big back drops to the smaller set pieces.
 The producers of the play, next calling in counsel tho chief electri- clan, planned the beautiful lighting effects which distinguished The 41ansnlan.' In order. to obtain the gorgeous sunset followed by the twi- light and then by darkness, in the first scene of the third act, and the shostfy effect to the Ku Klux cave in ihe second scene of the act, an ex- ~traordinary electric installation was required. While the details are too complex for any but technical pub lication, it may be stated that a switchboard was made and is carried sf tour much larger than that used in the average theater; that eighteen arc lamps are operated by special force of seventeen employees: and that the system of illumination has been perfected with the aid of a de- vice patented by ''The Clansman' stage manager, whereby the scheme of color effects can be varied with kaleidoscopic rapidity.
 Still another important department q the production is that of the cos 1umes. As the company numbers seventy-five people and the stage is Rlled at different times with civil Gans, soldiers in gray and blue, ne- groes in borrowed finery and in rags white robbed Clansman, belles in the xuaint costumes of 1867, and black wenches and pickaninnies clad in bar &aric colors, 1t will be seen that sev- @ral hundred costumes are required
