SHALL THE SUGAR BE TAXED.
Garden City Assessors Appeal to Tax
Commission for Advice.

Garden City, Kan, June 15.-At the
request of the board of equalization,
County Attorney Roberts is in Topeka
consulting with the state tax commits
sion and attorney general relative to
the question of tax on the sugar now
in the big warehouse here of the
United States Sugar & Land company.
It was found by the assessors that the
sugar company has 100000 bags of
sugar in the warehouse. Heretofore
the company has shipped the sugar
to Kansas City or Chicago ware
houses, but economy and climate led
to the organization last fail of a ware
house company. and the stock is large
ly kept here until delivery. warehouse
receipts being issued and funds OBJ
tanned for the company on them.
Much of the sugar, practically all of
it, is already sold or contracted for.
The beets from which the sugar was
made were not taxed as growing
crop last year, of course, for they were
not planted when the assessors went
around March 1, 1908. Hence, the
duct should be taxed. and if so, how
much.
The sugar company's attorney,
Judge Hutchinson, and County Attor-
ney Roberts went carefully over the
situation, looked at decisions, reports,
etc, and could find nothing definite.
The board of equalization did not
want to do injury to the sugar COM
panw and at the same time wanted to
do full justice to the county in the
way of taxes. Therefore, it was
checked up to the state tax commits
sion and attorney general and present
an interesting problem in taxation.
The sugar company's machinery and
lands and factory are, of course, taxed
and since they produce the beets from
which the sugar is made, some look
upon this as disposing of the question
entirely.
But neither the board nor county
attorney is satisfied on this point. 1t
is said the amount of taxes on the
supply of sugar stored would be
$4,000. five cents a bag, and the item
is considerable one for the sugar
company.

POISON is FOUND.
Experts in CIeminson Case File Re-
port With Coroner.

Chicago, July 15-Poison has been
discovered in the vital organs of Mrs.
Anna NJ. Cleminson, deceased wife of
DR.. Ha1dane CIeminson. who is held
pending an investigation into the causes
of Mrs. Cleminson's death. The coroner
has received the report from experts.
When the woman was found dead sew
eral weeks ago the husband declared
she and he had been chloroformed by
burglars.
The two pathetic figures in the Glenn
inson mystery are the beautiful young
children made motherless by the muir
der. The father. DR.. Cleminson, is in
prison charged with the awful deed,
though in a partial confession he has
stated he would clear up the entire mys-
| terry before the coroner's inquest.
| Mrs. Cleminson was found dead in
| bed in her own home and the theory
was first put forward by her husband
/ that burglars had entered the house
and chloroformed both of them Match
es were strewn about the floor and $50
in money besides siIverware vas re-
ported missing. Now the doctor, who
| is a, we'll known Chicago physician, has
admitted that the story he told is false
and that he only told it to cover up a
more far-reaching crime which would
bring dishonor upon his children.

Pitiful Plight of Youthful Telegraph
Operator.

Russell Kan. June 15.-Judge Rup-
pentha1 was called up by long distance
phone from Hutchinson by Superintend-
ent Cady of the boys reformatory, who
stated that young man of 10 years
of age was there seeking admittance
to the reformatory. He had pleaded
guilty to forgery in the third degree
at Hays City last week in the Ellis
county district court and under auth
GRITTY of the parole law.
Judge Ruppenthal withheld sentence
to the reformatory and paro1ed the lad
The offense was forging a telegraph
pass for transportation of the youth
over the Union Pacific railroad from
Ellis to Denver. He had been let out
on the Union Pacific because he was
no longer needed.
When paroled he went to Topeka to
seek Unemployment as telegraph on
orator, a calling he has followed for
several years. Failing in every effort
Ito get this work, he gave up hope and
presented himself at the doors of the
reformatory and asked to serve his
time, of not over seven years. Super
intendent Cady, with the consent of the
Judge, decided to send him to the Wich-
tia branch of the society for the friend

Roosevelt said he would. Should
PRESIDENT Taft not do SO, or should

unanimously reelected. The people

A short sketch of the life of Mr.
knowles is contributed by an old friend
and business associate in Seneca where
he was engaged in the banking bust
ness in the early days:
Edwin Knowles was a native of
Maine; born in Bangor, August 20, 1895
He came early to Iowa, where he prac-
ticed law. Later he moved to Gales
burg. Illinois. and engaged with his
father, the late Alfred Knowles. In
milling. In 1871 the mill was moved to
Seneca, Kansas, and operated there by
Knowles & Son Upon the defalcation
of ex-State Treasurer Samuel Lappin,
Mr. Knowles was made one - +he trus-
tees of his estate. and through this af-
fair came into active bank work al
Seneca. The Seneca banking house
that succeeded Lappin and Scrafford
had large St Joseph stockholders. who
also. owned control of the Sabetha
bank. These associates of Mr.. Knowles
persuaded him to quit milling and take
personal control of the Sabetha bank.
which he did in 1877. He also helped
organize and start the Centralia' and
Washington state banks the latter still
controlled by his family. Mr.. Knowles
had residences in both Seneca and Sa-
betha. In the ST. John campaign for
governor of Kansas Mr.. Knowles took
an active part. He made a local can
vass of Nemaha county and his school
house and town addresses were of great

of the Kansas state board of charities
in 1877 and he served as president of
the board two terms. In this associa-
ton he became close FREUD of p. 1.

Mr.. Bonebrake enticed Mr.. Knowles
away from Sabetha to become a To-
peka bank cashier. He held this posi-
ton until the organization of the Cap
ital National bank to which he was
elected president. His thorough legal
knowledge with natural practical bust
ness head made him prominent in the
Topeka banking world. where he was
acknowledged conservative and sue
