Of the tenants fly attempting to make
the latter out as dupes. There are
not many landlords who are renting

the city is valued at six thousand
dollars. 1t has not been fully deter

the ordinance says 1t cannot be
more than twenty cents on the hun

thousand. On a six thousand dollar
house 1t would he just twelve dol

be under the necessity Of charging
five dollars more month or sixty
dollars a year to get the twelve dol
lars extra tax?

tended Says State Tax
Commissioner.

Tax Commissioner T. C. Townsend.
in letter to the assessors OF the
state advises them to extend the one
cent levy known as the state road
tax upon the land and personal

Dear Sir: Chapter 81 of the Acts
OF the legislature of 1909 levies tax
Of one cent on each one hundred dol
lars valuation of the taxable proper
ty Of the state for state road pur-
posses. This is commonly what is
known as the Estate road tax
This department is receiving In
Iquiries from a number of the assess
ors Of the state relative to the ex-
tension of the one cent road tax up
on the land and personal property
books. In order that uniform action
may be had upon this matter, ]
deem it my duty under the portion of
chapter 20 OF the Code, which pro-
yides that it shall be the duty Of
the state tax commissioner to see
that all the laws concerning the as
sessments and collection Of all taxes
and levies, whether of the state or
of any district or municipal corpo-
ration thereof, are faithfully enforc-
ed to advise you to extend this levy
upon the land and personal property
books. 1t shcull be entered on the
books in the column next after the
one used for entering the tax for
state purposes, and the TAX for state
and state road purposes should be
totaled in the column headed Total
tax for state and state school pur-
lposes.

MARTIAL LAW EXISTS.
Constabulary Are. Meeting
Overt Acts Of Strikers
with Riot Clubs.

P1TTSBURG, Aug. 23.--Following
one of the most fatal and desperate
strike riots experienced in Pittsburs
In more than a score of years, a quiet
but tense situation prevailed this
morning at McKees Rocks, the scene
last night of terrorlzing conflict be-
tween state. county and special police
and employees OF the Pressed Steel Car
Company.
Although the riot is twelve hours
old. an accurate list OF the casualties
is still unobtainable. unofticially, SIX
are known to have been shot to death,
two others are believed to have been
killed but carried away in the con-
fusion, dozen men. both strlkes
and police. are in hospitals fatally In
jured. while at leastgtwo score OF men,
women and children are suffering
from bullet wounds4and injuries In
flicted with clubs and stones.
Aside from the human, = sacrifice,
property was damaged thousands of
dollars. Three street cars were
wrecked. many vehicles we've smashed
and the streets are litered with win
dow glass. lfis
The shooting continued from var-
Gus sections of the strike zone long
after the battle but did not reach serl-.
GUS proportions and troopers re-
NAMED close to the plant.
Special editions of newspapers have
been issued containing news Of the
riot.
Thousands of curious persons
swarmed McKees Rocks this morning.
Every one within the strike district
today was stopped and thoroughly
searched.
An investigation by the Associated
Press showed the rioting was caused
by three new members of the state
constabulary who refused to obey the
commands of the strikers when or
dered from street car. These troops
We're in citizens clothes.
The question of ordering out the
militia will be discussed at a confer
ence OF the state authorities today.
Lenlency heretofore displayed by
the constabulary towards the strikers
was absent today. The least overact
committed by. the strikers was met
with the riot stick.
| Attempts were made this morning
to prevent the holding of n mass
meeting at the historic Indian mound.
Thousands of strikers began the Jour-
ney to the mound early today, but
many of them were halted and forced
to turn back.
Following is correct list OF the
known dead: Harry Exler. deputy
sheriff; George Millhaszer, striker;
John L. Williams trooper; Anton
Gubernet. striker, John c. Smith,
trooper; and an unidentified white
man believed to be striker.
Among the probably fatally injured
is Trooper Luclen Jones, of Morgan
town. w. Va.
Martial law practically prevails in
schoenlyville.

loaded unexploded bombs which were
thrown during the disorders.

Arm in arm Mrs. Victoria A. l. Love

out of Police Judge Deasy's courtroom
yesterday, after the judge had dis
missed the. charge brought by the wife
against Love of attempting to admin
lister poison to her. There waS no
smile on Loves face, but the face of
his wife was wreathed in smiles.
A report was submitted by Chemist
Green that the package handed to him
Saturday for analysis contained
strychnine the same as the original
powder analysed by him, and this bore
out Mrs. Loves amended statement in
court that she had found both powders
in a drawer of room In her lodging
house, 3549 Army street, vacated by a
family named Eastman. and that she
had mistaken that powder for a head
ache powder which her husband had
offered her last February.
Attorney Carroll Cook moved for the
dismissal Of the case. in view Of the
confederation of Mrs Love by the
chemist. and the judge granted the
motion.
