TAXATION FIGHT
BY WAREHOUSE
FIRM DELAYED

Hearing of the appeal on the taxation
OF the Newark Warehouse Company, or
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
which controls the concern, set down
before the County Board of Taxation,
was postponed today pending the action
to be taken by the city commissioners,
acting under the advice of City Attorney
Herbert Boggs.
The appeal is from an additional
assessment Of $243,0 900 on the personal
property contained in the company's
Warehouse, in Mechanic street.
George Holmes. as counsel for the
Company, appeared before the board
with the statement that the vtlue is
not more than 500, 900, but 1t was after
Ward declared by City Tax Commits
sioner John Carroll that while the city
was prepared to believe, it was neces-
sary for the authorities to rave the fact

IA ii opinion first expressed by Pres
ident Lathrop Anderson, of the county
board, it would be a wise thing to let the
appeal go at once to, the State board If
some sort of a compromise could be
hgreed upon, but it was eventually de-
cided that 1t would be best to get
Mr.. Boggs's opinion. This was de-
cjded upon.

an endeavor to induce the company to

Come with us behind the
scenes these busy Christmas
days.
Do you realize what a pro-
digious amount of work is
being performed hourly by the
hundreds of workers whom
you seldom see?
The big tube station with its
never ceasing thunder-its
POP, POP.s POP of carriers and
it's rows of silent, alert
change makers. Peep at the
cashiers a moment and you
will realize what their task is.
Now come with us into the
delivery room while our
wagons are loading-you'd
imagine the business of a
whole city were being trans
acted in this department alone.
The diligent packers, the
sheet writer's, the drivers and
the wagon men straining and
hustling to accomplish their
part of the program. Look at
them and you'll realize what
a labor they perform.
Step into the receiving
rooms and watch the clerks
checking off their mountains
of merchandise; watch the
markers in the stock rooms
preparing the goods for the
counters; watch the auditors
at their human-like machines
and watch the office force at
its daily grind.
We could wander with you
about this great store for a
whole day-two days, perhaps
and you would not begin to
realize what is transacted be-
hind the scenes-away from
the spotlight.
What a powerful organiZa-
ton, this great unseen-and
how ii p~ulsates in it's cease
less effort to serve you.
All honor to those behind
the seenes-they're workers,
all.

SAYS STATE Is UNABLE TO
ENJOIN THREE-CENT FARE
Attorney for Railroads In Missouri
Alleges Injunction Is Un-
sound Law

KANSAS CITY, April 9.--Frank Ha-
german, leading attorney for the eigh-
teen railroads entering Missouri, in a
statement made here today declared
that the states injunction suit, FLED
Yesterday to prevent the railways from
returning to the 3-cent fare basis, was
unsound law.
"Governor Hadley's st. Louis suit,
said Mr.. Hagerman today, seems to be
based on two grounds, both or Which
are unsound:
Il. The railroads, by making the new
rate, have violated the antitrust stat
ute.
"2. The issue of mileage books is a
discrimination. :.
1.-THE antitrust statute has no appll-
cation to railroad rates, but by It's
terms only prohibits combinations IN
the sale of commodities and insurance.
There is no discrimination, because the
mileage books are sold to all alike.
Anyhow, the public, not the railroads,
would be hurt by an injunction against
their use, for since the 2-cent law was
enioined the old law was in>force, ana
this authorizes cents. Anything less
is a matter of grace from the railroads.
Mrs Hagerman and l were starting
to California when heard of this new
suit, but our trip will be deferred. me
restraining order is returnable Monday
morning, at which time the court PROB
ably will dissolve it, as 1t was improvi-
dently granted and violates the federal
court decree"

BODY OF PETROSINO
REACHES. NEW YORK
Funeral Monday of Detective Killed
at Palermo Will Be Attended by
Police Officials and
Executives

NEW YORK, April 9.-Flags flying
at half mast above the city hall and
police headquarters today marked the

Lieut.. Joseph Petrosino of the New
York police department, who was as
sassinated in Palermo, Sicily, March

On arriving at the quarantine sta
ton today the Slavonia was met by
the police boat Patrol, to which the
body of the martyred officer was
transferred from the steamer and con-
veyed to the landing place at the bat
terry. Thence the body was escorted
to the Petrosino home, to be guarded
by police until after the funeral.
The transfer of the body from the
ship to the Patrol was witnessed by a

pated in the ceremonies attending the
landing.
Until the day of the funeral mourn
ing flags will be flown from hundreds of
windows in the Italian quarter.

the services the body will be escorted
to Calvary cemetery by a parade COM
posed of police, militia and many
Italians.
Taps will be sounded at the grave.
Many flowers, including a wreath from
Mayor Mcclellan, have been sent to the
Petrosino home, and a movement is un-
der way to provide Mrs. Petrosino and
the detectives child with a permanent
home and ample funds.

SAYS FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
LIE TO SECURE POSITIONS
Senator LaFolIette Charges Fraud Is
Perpetrated in Registering
Residence

WASHINGTON, April 9.-"The rec
ords of the civil service commission
and of the civil departments in Wash
ington disclose the assignment of a vast
number of government employees to
various states in-which, as matter of
fact, they never resided" said Senator
LaFollette today.
He is chairman of the committee on
census, which has reported an amend
ment to the census bill requiring ap-
plicants for positions within the gen.
eral classified service of the govern
ment to take their examinations in
the states to which they are accredited
as legal residents.
"It was to correct this abuse of the
civil service law which requires an
apportionment of employees of the civil
service among the several states and
territories that this amendment was
adopted" said the senator.
MANY people come to Washington,
live here for twenty-five or thirty
years, and their children claim the for
mer residence of the father, although
they may never have been in the state
for the purpose of apportionment. This
is not in accordance with the spirit of
the civil service law, and either the
section requiring apportionment should
be repealed or the apportionment should
be made on a basis of actual resi-
dence"

Woman Charges Husband and Two
Others with Crime at Terrell,
Texas

EVANSVILLE, Ind. April 9.--That
her husband, Frank Rice, his sister,
Mrs. Albert Taylor, and DR.. l.. M.
stroud of Terrell, Texas, brought about
the death of Albert Taylor at Terrell
on January 8, 1905, is charged by Mrs.
Ida Rice in an affidavit filed in con-
nection with her suit for divorce here.
Mrs. Rice alleges an insurance COM
pany paid $4,000 on the death of Taylor
and that this amount was divided be-
tween the physician, her husband and
Mrs Taylor.
The mother of Taylor had his body
exhumed a year after his death, and
she went to the grand jury at Terrell
with her suspicion that her son had
been poisoned, but there was not SUI
ficient fevidence for an indictment.
Taylors death, Mrs. Rice alleges, was
due to poison injected hynoderm1cally
during several weeks. After the Rices;
Mrs. Taylor and Taylor's mother moved
back to Indiana, their original home.
Mrs. Rice charged that her husband
forced her to write to DR. Stroud,
threatening him with exposure unless
1ne sent her S100.
