STATE OFFICIALS
TO Be CALLED N

George P. Sheldon, Deposed

Abandonment Of the criminal investiga-
ton and prosecution in the matters of
the Phenix Insurance Company of

Sheldon was removed at the ~instigation

department. has placed the case in the
hands of the district-attorney n a
number of men who have held Office In
the State insurance department will be
called as witnesses.
w. II. Hotchkiss, superintendent Of
the insurance department, declared in
his report that the Phenix Insurance
Company, through It's president, had
been in the habit of lending consider.
able sums to State insurance officials
and that for twenty-five years the COM
pany had not been investigated by the
department.. Four State insurance off,
Gals are mentioned, whose loans from
the Phenix aggregate $3.50, 900.
The insurance department believes
that the company's risks to the public
are not involved, and that the entire
loss through loans negotiated by Shell
don can be balanced by crossing off
81 100000 0 of the company's $4,000, 900 sur
plus.
Although the investigation thus far
shows that sheldon managed the affairs
of the company alone and without con-
sulting the board Of directors. Superin-
tendent Hotchkiss declares that each
OF the directors is responsible under the
law.

When the flames were fiercest Patrick
Lynn. a cripple, was seen through the
smoke and flames on the fourth fioor OF
the building. He was begging piteously
for help and the crowds IN the sliee,
were horror-stricken at his perilous po-
sition.
Fearing that his cries would not be
heard because of the roar of the flames,
the yells of the f~ire-fighters and the
painting of the engines, the cripple
waved his arms wildly. Chief Moore
asked for volunteers. Several firemen
ran forward. Vanderstreet, however,
because of his agility and athletic build,
was picked for the task.
In a jiffy a ladder was placed against
the building and Vanderstreet dashed
up ii. Occasionally a fierce burst of
flame would issue from one of the win
dows ana the smoke almost obscured
the view of both the cripple and Van
derstreet.
Vanderstreet finally reached the VIM
dow and while the crowd held its breath
he grabbed the cripple, placed him
across his shoulders and made a safe
descent. Lynn was unconscious and
was treated by DR.. A. ]. Mitchell and
removed to st. Jarnes's Hospital, where
1t is said he will be out in a few days.

Especial to the Newark start

AsBURY PARK, Dec. L-Referring
to the County Boards of Taxation as a
1 useless cog in New Jersey govern
mental machinery, George w. F. Gaunt,
master of the New Jersey State Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, and senator
from Gloucester county, in his address
at the opening Of the annual meeting
of the grange today, spoke strongly 10
favor of the abolition of the boards
on this subject he said:
An honest effort was made at the
1909 session of the Legislature, by the
introduction of a bill, to repeal the act
authorizing the County Boards Of
Equalization of Taxes, but the effort
was lacking in support; hence we stlH
have a useless cog on u governmental
machinery, and n that will probably
stay until we protest in such a forcible
manner that the representatives from
our respective counties will give the
question of its repeal more carful con-
Sheraton
Master Gaunt laid before the organi-
cation the principles of taxation as
adopted by the National Grange, and
asked that they be considered. They
present several radical changes from
the present Jersey methods of taxation
Thy hold that no property should be
exempt from taxation except such as
is specifically exempted by the State
constitution; that if personal property
is to be exempt on account of debt.
then real estate should be subject to
the same exemption: that in the case
of mortgages the mortgage be taxed
on the amount of the mortgage and
the mortgagor on the value OF the prop
erty minus the mortgage; that all cor
poration property be taxed for local
purposes just as similar property is
taxed when owned by individuals; that
in the case Of transportation company
property the tax be levied on a valua.
ton equal TO the market value of the
capital stock. plus the market value OF
the bonded debt, each taxing district

mileage OF the corporation there is to

! HOW ANIMALS FIND THEIR WAY.

AS men grow accustomed to the navi-
cation of the air will they develop a
new sense, the sense of direction which
birds and animal possess? 1t Is highly
probable. The question is suggested
by an article in Harper's Magazine for
October on How Animals Find Their
Way Home" written by a member of
the faculty of Johns Hopkins, John B.
Watson, professor of comparative and
experimental psychology. Mr.. Watson
has made a special study of homing-
pigeons and Of the homing instinct of
various animals, and he considers it "a
real question whether possesses
or eve a possessed any such func-
tion." But mans new experiences in
air travel, n the necessity for tho
development in him of faculties new
or dormant, may in time, despite Mr..
Watson's conjecture, produce a sense
of direction in man as unerring as that
of the lower animals. ~
