RAVPCAt ~ but to tHt iuttTtSb ut-
creases year by year, and as the
taxable values increase, this
rate of taxation would natur-
ally decrease within a very few
years after the roads are built.
For instance the present rate
of taxation for all county pur-
poses In Granger county. Ten
nessee, where no good roads
have been built, is now $1.67 on
each 500 worth of property;
but in Hamblen county, Ten
nessee, where good roads have
been built, the present rate Of
taxation for all county purposes
is Sl.27, which is much less
than before the roads were
built.
A b cent tax would mean
that a man who owns a farm
which is assessed at $1,000.
would have to pay 1878 more
tax annually TO build the good
roads than he now pays. The
man who owns no property
would not be required 10 pay
anything toward the improve
ment of the roads, as the tax TO
raise the money is a property
tax only. The poll tax cannot
be used for this purpose as the
constitution of Tennessee pro-
vides Art. H., Sec. 2sl that
poll taxes are 90 bee used exclu-
sively for public schools. and
that the rate shall not exceed
81 for county purposes. Fur

place. The Town team will meet the
High School bunch, and good expo.

The game. which will start at $3.50

doubt big crowd will go out to the
grounds and dig up the small admis-
sion charge that will be made.
The High School team will not be
as light as most people imagine 1t to
be, and what the boys do lack in the
way Of weight, will be more than made
up for by the concerted play and dash
they will put into the game.

This elimination of the bunch of run.
Eers who are holding up the sport for
more money, will be a good thing, and
the class of race put up by the men
mentioned above should be good
enough for anybody.
If the managers" of the various
runners who are making all the fuss
want race, let them each back their
own man, and In that way put mp a
purse that might attract the elite of
the professional peds in this country,
and at the same time, not worry the
public much.
Herbert Cordeiro has signifed his
wish to enter for the much delayed
race. and Connie Hayes claims that he
should be considered also.
Because man appears to have a
following of fans who will dig up two.
Its to see him run, and threatens to
keep his bunch away II certain terms

particular runner should not be
dropped. and others put in his place.
However, there is no denying that
another ten miles race between Kaoo

seeing. Corderio, Hayes and Jackson
would lend spice to the event. although
the latter runner does not appear to be

BLACK HAND IN OHIO
HEADQUARTERS FOR SOCIETY BE LEVIED TO HAVE BEEN DIS
 COVERED BY INSPECTORS.
HAVE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE
Officials Found a Number of Incrimi-
 mating Letters When Italians of Marion And Other Points In Ohio
 We're Arrested.

Cincinnati, June 10.-United States postoffice inspectors from Cincin- natl believe they have discovered the headquarters of the "Black Hand" in this country, at Marion, Ohio. Anis belief Is based on documentary evil dence found when Sam Lima, of Mar. ion, Ohio, Antonio vicaso, of Colum- bus. Ono, and A. Marfis, of Dennison, Ohio, were arrested.
 The arrests were made simultane- ously in the three towns. After a search of six months for the men who sent threatening letters to John Ami can, a fruit dealer of Columbus. Ohio, demanding $15.000. The handwriting in the letters to Amican is identical with that in the letters received by Antonio Rlzzio, fruit dealer of Gin cinnati, who died several weeks ago after refusing to obey the demand of a "Black Hand" letter to give up Sl .000 or forfeit his life. He died soon after eating a banana given him by a stranger.
 q uf1Vatt"~ NhaAioh SNHtOS th@e Joe Rizzo was also arrested in that city. The postofiice Inspectors claim they have discovered evidence show ing that Marion Is the headquarters of all of these Black Hand societies of the country and they claim Sam Lima IS the head of the organization. They say they found hundreds of business men in all parts of the state have been paying tribute to the gang. Ar rests are said 10 have been made also in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and in- spectors left for Bellefontaine to make several more arrests there. Inspector Oldfield states when the whole story is known the country will be aston ished.

IN DEFENSE OF THE CHURCH
That is Why "The Functions of Re- ligion" Was Written, Says
 Prof. Foster.

Chicago, June 10-"It was to save the charch. to defend it from its most potent enemies, that I wrote the things which have angered my fel- ow ministers In the Baptist faith. l had no thought of creating discord, but l saw a great exigency, to face which successfully the church must cast aside the baggage which it has brought down from the unenlightened ages, while keeping only the essence to true religion
 This statement was mode by Prof. George German Foster, of the Uni versity of Chicago. author of The Function of Religion" which caused furore among the Baptist clergy when asked to define the relations of his teaching to the creed of the times.
 That the church, to weather the gales of modern thought must cut loose from dogmas that 1t borrowed from the past ages; that 1t cannot re tain the respect and faith of intel ligent minds while clinging blindly to tenets that belittle intelligence, was the radical attitude of slr. Foster in the philosophy of religion.
 Prof. Foster added that he was a loyal Baptist and would not withdraw from the ministry, no matter what pressure was brought to bear upon him.

 Island.

Paris, June 10.-The Cretan situa- ton Is causing much anxiety in Europe. The protecting powers, Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy, have decided to keep their engage nent to evacuate the island on July S1. Turkey has served notice that after this date the island, while pre- Eerving it's autonomous regime, must return to the Turkish flag and she is prepared to go to war on this issue. Greece, on the contrary, thinks that annexation to her should follow the evacuation, but the efforts of the king Of Greece to secure the support of the powers to this idea have been unayail- ing. It is understood that Germany sides strongly with Turkey.
