lake a little walk with him from the farm

Claudy Baker.
Another little lamb has gone
TO dwell with Him who gave:
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shining band
And so He bent with loving smile,
And ciasped little Claudy's hand.
The little crib is empty now
The little clothes laid by.
\ mothers hope. a fathers JOY
In Deaths cold arm doth lie.
Go. little pilgrim, 90 to thy home
On yonder blisSful shore;
We miss thee here. but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
Thy gentle voice now IS hushed
Thy warm true heart is still,
And on thy young and innocent brow
Is resting Deaths cold chill.
There was ali angel band in heaven
That was not quite complete.
So God took little Claudy
To fill the vacant seat.
And now, dear parents. the only
consolation that is vouchsafed YOU
is the sweet realization of the fact
that your precious babe is at peace
The one upon whom you have Law
ished your affection is now in that
land "Where the weary are at rest. -
And the poor little frame will never
more be racked with the agonles OF
pain, and suffering is at the end'
Just think. twill only be a little

FEAR MORSE RULING.
Decision on appeal for Nezc
Trial Expected To-day.

Charles ". Morse. who is now in the

appeal for a new trial On the ground that
members of the jury which found him
guilty of violation of the national bank
ing laws were in unfit condition TO pass
upon the questions presented, is likely to
learn his fate to-day. With the appear
ance of his wife and one of his sons in

flew that Judge Hough, of the United
States Circuit Court, had reached de-
cisiOn in the matter.
The surmise that the courts opinion
would be unfavorable to Morse became
stronger with the visit of the members
of the bankers family. Mrs. Morse was
the first to reach the postoffice building
She was unattended. and was evidently
much perturbed when she left the build
ing. Her stepson reached the building
shortly afterward. and after short stay
he also departed. looking downcast- Both

DENIES HE RESIGNED.
Zelaya Says He Is Still
President.

Cordoba. Mexico. Dec. 2s.-Jose Santos
Zelaya declared Tonight that he is still
President of Nicaragua, although he may
never go back TO that country to enjoy
the privileges of the office. Madriz, he
asserted. is only a provisional president
and that he (ZeIaya) has not relin-
quished the executive office.
Asked about the conditions imposed
by the British government in reply to
his request for an asylum aboard the
British cruiser Shearwater, ZeIaya ad-
mitted that he vas told he could board
her only with the understanding that he
was to agree to leave Nicaragua forever.
These conditions, he said, he declined to
accept.
Mexico. on the other hand. he declared.
made no reservations in granting him
permission to board the General Guer-
zero
In further support ef his assertion it
was pointed out by members of his
party that the Guerrero f1oated the
Nicaraguan flag at the masthead, in ad-
dtion to the Mexican flag. The reports
concerning his wealth. Zelaya said, were
grossly exa ggerated His fortune was
not more than S2OOO.N0O gold, and was
invested mostly in Nacaraguan govern
ment bonds. He advanced the $4,000
TaId on the Emery claim as a personal
loan out of his own funds there having
been no money in the government treas
I,ry at that time. This amount, he said,
had never been refunded 10 him. He
strongly denied that he had wrongfully
obtained any part of his fortune through
concessions. OF which he had the dis
Iosal
Zeaya denied that he was prisoner in
the hands of the Mexican officers in any
sense of the word. He was asked wheth-
er in giving him a refuge. the Mexican
government accepted responsibility for
his person and in doing so looked upon
him as a prisoner. He said emphatically
that such was not the case and that he
was free to go where he chose.
Zelaya declared that he favored friend
ly intervention on the part of Mexico
and the United States, to the end that a
consolidation of all the Central Amer
lean republics might be brought about.
He believed that Secretary Knox was
now realizing the injustice of his atti-
tude.
He might go to Belgium to live. he
said. In any event he would not return
10 Nicaragua until peace was restored.
1t was his opinion that the wal would
end within two months, but he would not
venture an opinion as to which of the
combatants would finally be successful.

HIGHER TAX RATE.
IHeritable, Says Met@, after
Franchise Tar Decision.

Controller Metz in an Informal dis
cussion of the city's financial problems
yesterday disclosed the fact that the
next tax rate would, he from Ia to 10
points higher than the rate this year,
which is 1.6S. This would bring the
rate up to about 1.S3.
The Court of Appeals Interpretation
of the special franchise tax law means"
said the Controller. that we shall have
10 charge off the books about $1,000
coo of uncoIectible franchise taxes that
we had assumed were colIectible. That
means an increase of from Is to 10
points in the tax rate. No one Is par
ticularly TO blame for the increase. 1t
is the result of the courts decision.
The Department of Taxes, from 1902
down. assumed that the law was valid.
and the courts held that it was so in
part, but in practically applying it
many exemptions and deductions were
ordered by the courts, with the result
that now we are confronted with the
fact that we shall collect about half as
much in special franchise taxes as We
had counted on"
Another dead horse" item TO be taken
into account is the $33, 100000 of un-
coIlectible personal taxes levied prior to
1903. A special act was passed author
izing the city TO issue corporate stock
TO wipe out these uncollectible taxes.
In 1906 the Controller issued of this
amount $1,000 900. which, under the law,
was covered by adding an equivalent
sum TO the tax budget Since then. on
account of the debt limit determination,
there has not been added to the annual
budget anything to wipe out this cor
pOrate stock issue. This means that the
tax rate will go up four additional
points.
