SATISFIED
WITH COUNTY TAX
BOARDS FIGURES
Five Appeals Filed from Assess.
ments, the Largest Being
So, ZOO, 600 Graves Estate.

Five appeals were noticed today be-
fore the County Tax Board.
The largest estate involved is that of
the late Henry Graves, who was a stock
broker IN New York city and lived in
Orange. His property was valued at
SO, zoe. 900. The county board fixed the
tax at $64, 800. The contention of the
estates counsel is that the stock and
bonds are not personal property and
that the bank stock particularly was
taxable only within the State where the
bank is located.
Another appeal is that of Carrie
Quinn, interested in the Waldmann
Theatre property, which the local board
first taxed on q valuation of $37, 500 for
the land and SIS, 900 for the building,
and which was made $50, 900 for the land
and $4,000 for the building.
Jessie e. Koewing. of West Orange, Is
another appellant. She has 1876 acres
of land assessed at a valuation of $685.
500. which was reduced to $780, 900 by the
county board. but she says should have
been cut down to $4,000.
A reduction from $40, 900 to IS, 500 is the
basis of Charles F. Watson's appeal for
his property in West Orange, while the
Orange Lodge of Elks says its property
valuation should have been cut down
from $4,000 to $4,000.

CONFESSION

JUNkMAN TO JAIL
Youth of Good Family Calls HIM
self the "Meanest Thief
in Newark"
ADMITS THAT HE STOLE
TOOLS FROM CHESTS
Says He Sold Them TO Tony
Forty, Who Knew Where
He Got Them.

Tony Forty, a junkman, of "a Nichols
street. was held without bail by Judge
Howell in the First Criminal Court, on
a charge of receiving stolen goods.
Detective ~Sergeants Pagan and Har-
ris were the complainants, and John
Schmidt, who confessed to being ''the
meanest thief in Newark was the
principal witness against the junkman.
Schmidt is a bright young man, and
has respectable family connections. but
makes his home anywhere. For many
weeks, he admits. he has been rebbing
houses. in course of erection. of me-
chanics' tools. He said he had brought
chests full to Forty and 200 pounds of
new lead pipe. which he sold for 81.
He coolly admitted stealing tools, and
his d~epredations in this line have been
so numerous. he said, that he could
not tell exactly the number or value Of
tools taken by him. He testified he
had told the junkman he had stolen
the articles.

MESSAGES Of Love
American Girl More to Ds'g

Italian Crown.
(specialIto the evening starl

NEW YORK, March 26. -The
Duke d'AbruzzI is continuing his ro-
nance on board the Lusitania, by
wireless communication with his
fianoee. Miss Katherine Elkins. the
handsome daughter Of. United States
Senator Elkins, of w. va. In an inter-
view today he admitted that there was
a tentative engagement between him
and Miss Elkins, but said that. as all
the details had moi been\~ arranged, no
formal announcement could be made.
His messages from Washington have
EVIDENTLY been of a most Satisfactory
nature, and his qualification at line
success of his suit is ill-concealed. "
The duke made a trip of Inspection
in the Storage yesterday and ext
pressed great admiration of the con-
ditions there. He said that he would
try to have the 'steerage of italian
vessels improved and remodeled after
the plan of the Lusitania,
In his conversations with friends on
board he has spoken as IL the marriage
were arranged, which Is contrary to
the usual procedure in the marriage of
a man of the royal family. Thus there
is some likelihood that he has. as re-
ported, renowned his succession to the
throne.
1t would appear from what the Duke
has said and from his plans hat the
wedding will take place In Rome. He
is an admiral in the Royal Italian
Navy. and Immediately upon his return
to Italy will go on board his ship, the
Regina Elena. for the summer ma
neuvers, which will not be completed
before October.
