HITS WIFE;
DIES BY OWN BULLET
Fires Two Bullets Into the Body OF
Woman Who Sought separa-
ton and Then Kills
Himself

HANDFORD, Cal, Sept, 8.-James L.
Crye, a well-todo grain farmer OF the th
TuIare lake region, fatally wounded his
wife today and then killed himself be-
cause she had filed suit for divorce
for failure to provide. Mrs. Crye was
struck by two bullets, one in the arm
and one in the abdomen.
Crye learned of his wife's action to-
day while in town.
The suit had been filed by her attor-
neys a few hours before, and as soon
as the rancher was told of it he has
tened to his home, eight miles out of
town.
A few moments after he entered the
house two shots rang out followed py
a third. When the neighbors rushed
in they found the woman writhing on
the floor with two bullets in her body
and the husband dead.

TOWNS BLOTTED
OUT BY FLOODS
After Weary Wanderlngs They Arrive
at Monterey and Give First
News to the Arch
bishop
[By Associated Press.l

MONTERREY, Mex, Sept. S.-A num-
ber Of village priests, after making
Journeys over miles of devastated
country, arrived here today bringing
the first news of the destruction
wrought by the recent floods in the
outlying districts.
Their stories indicate that the havoc
is more widespread than was at hrst
believed. The priests of Arramberi IN
formed Archbishop Lenares that Ar
ramberi was destroyed and that ms
neople are wandering over the country
in search of food
The destruction of the roads mas
made it impossible to send IN suppiles.
The story brought in by the priest
of La Ascension is that this town ana
it's population of 1000 have entirely DIS
appeared. He does not know where
the people are. .4o
mot a stone was left upon stone
in La Ascension the priest sald.
"Where there were once rich farms
there is now nothing but water"
Another priest from Aliende says
that place also has disappeared with
large loss of life and that the fields
have been converted into lakes. The
priests were more than a week in max
ing their way into Monterey.
Aid is urgently needed in these out
living districts, particularly as the au-
thorities are busy with Monterey and
it's vicinity.
Bustament and La Escondia have
been added to the list of destroyed
villages.

San Diego Escapes
The total increase in the assessment
of property over the figures of the
county auditors as fixed by the state
board tonight amounts to 1921 ,532, ,596.
The following action was taken on
assessments of counties cited to appear
and show cause why their assessments
should not be raised:

Butte, no increase; Colusa, no in

EQUALIZERS PUT TAX
BURDEN ON SOUTHLAND
Los Angeles Assessment Raised 40 Per Cent;
Orange SO Per Cent; Ventura 100 Per
Cent, and San Francisco 10 Per
Cent; While Other North
ern Counties Escape
Especial to The Herald. ]


OACRAMENTO Sept. S.-After n
~ heated session of the state board
~ of equalization here tonight, with
Los Angeles county as the butt of the
argument, the entire southern part of
the state was raised from 33 1-3 to 100
per cent in assessment.
Los Angeles county assessments were
raised 40 per cent, and the board in
structed the attorney general to file
charges OF perjury against Henry
Wood, the Los Angeles appraiser, whose
affidavit alleged that he had been CO.
creed into raising his figures by undue
pressure.
The chief fight developed over the
assessment of the southern counties,
particularly Los Angeles.
McElvaine and Controller Nye tried
to arbitrate the threatened raise of 40
per cent, but it went through, with
Brown, Collins and Scott voting solidly
together throughout the session.
What Action Means
And this is what the action of the
state board means:
1t means that the assessments of Los
Angeles county are to be increased 40
per cent, while the assessments of San
Francisco and Alameda counties are in
creased only 10 per cent.
1t means that Orange county assess
ments are to be increased 90 per cent
and the assessments of Riverside
county increased 30 per cent, while no
increase is ordered on property in Sac
ramento county.
1t means that San Bernardino county
assessments are to be increased 80 1-3
per cent while those of San Luis
Obispo, Sonoma, Solano, Merced, Contra
Costa and a number of others show no
increase at all.
1t means that Ventura county assess
ments have been increased 100 per cent
and the assessments of Santa Barbara
county 100 per cent-the biggest in
crease in the list-while the northern
counties bear only the burden of a
nominal increase or none at all.
San Diego county alone escapes With
no increase.

WI of the explorer, knew nothing of
LII the report that her husband had
reached the north pole until she re-
ceived a cablegram from him twenty
four hours after the American news
papers had printed the story. The pa
tient little woman, who had waited
through so many weary months for
some word from her husband and had
begun to fear that she might never
hear from him again, almost collapsed
when she received the message. She

H URNER, N. Y, Sept. s.-Edward
II. Hartman is better. This
- statement is based on the as
sertion today Of the two men closest
to him, outside his immediate family
His medical adviser, DR.. William G.
Lyle, said so twice. His spiritual ad-
wiser, Rev. j. H. McGuiness, made the
assertion in almost the same language
shortly after visiting the sick man this
afternoon.
How far Mr. Hartman shas improved
and the precise state of his health is
still a matter of conjecture and the
subject of alarming rumorS.
The official information from the
Hartman residence today utterly failed
to quiet rumor, and there seems to be
some ground for the persistent reports
that he suffered a slight attack of in
digestion and that DR.. Lyle's reassur-
ing statement referred to his improve
ment from this second seizure.
Condition Desperate
There is no doubt that Mr.. Harri-
mans recent condition has been des-
perate. Evidence of this was furnished
by the empty oxygen tanks that were
sent down from Tower Hill to be re-
turned to the manufacturer.
That these attacks will be recurrent
and that they must grow increasingly
oninous Is the general belief. Dr.

WHAT DR.. COOK SAYS
ABOUT LIEUT.. PEARY
RY ASSOCIATED PREss

~ when L heard of Commander Peary's
success, If he says he has been to the
pole 1 believe him.
81 am going to place facts, figures and
worked out observations before the joint
tribunal of the scientific bodies of the
world. In due course 1 shall be prepared
to make public announcement that will
effectually dispel any doubt, if there can
be such, of the fact that L have reached
the pole"
This Is the reply DR.. Frederick A.
Cook made tonight to Comma-der
Peary.
Coming so quickly upon other dra-
matte incidents of the week, Com
mander Peary's dispatch denying that
DIR. Cook had achieved the triumph
for which he has been feted and hon
ored in Copenhagen, has been read
here with feelings Of amazement and
concern.
But Dr. Cook, himself, seems in no
wise disturbed. He was perfectly cool
and apparently unmoyed when con-
fronted tonight with kilograms from
the United States saying Peary had
denounced him as an impoSter.
His demeanor has not changed in
the slightest from the day he landed
at Copenhagen.
Statement Withheld
DR.. Cooks friends had urged him to
their utmost to make a statement for
the public, but he had said repeatedly
that all he had to say for the present
was that he possessed proofs that he
had visited the north pole on April 21,
1908.
When it was suggested to him that
his chances of proving his case might
be ruined unless he made satisfac-
tory statement Immediately, he smiled
and asked how man could be ruined
by popular clamor calling him an i'm
poster when he had proofs of his case
which could and would be published,
as he had often repeated, when they
were in proper form to be given out.
Regarding the controversy over his
alleged taking of Peary's stores, DR..
Cook asserts that he has written and
other satisfactory evidence that Peary
took his stores, perhaps believing him
dead.
Knows the Facts
Harry Whitney is personally ac-
quainted with all the facts. and per-
hans what he has to say when he re-
turns may be interesting, added the
Then DR.. Cook remarked quietly:
make as little as you can of this and
don't say anything disagreeable about
Peary."
DIR. Cook continued:
Il will NOT enter into any controversy
ovag the subject with Commander
Peary. further than to say that If he

repIy is chat Eskimos are nomads.
They are owned by nobody and are not

Really Believes 1t

From Lieut.. Peary's interview with
me, brief though it was, there was
left no doubt in my mind that he
really believes he was the first man
to reach the pole. Which of the eX-
plorers will carry off this honor de-
pends on the careful analysis of the
diaries and observations of the two
men, which scientists the world over
will subject to a most rigid examina-
ton.
Lieut.. Peary is ,bronzed and in Wig
orous health. He is exceedingly nap
py over his success, but evidently
much chagrined by the reports that
have reached him of the success
claimed by DIR. Cook.
1t is quite apparent Lieut.. Peary IS
unwilling to concede the slightest VIC
tory to his rival.
1t is expected the Roosevelt will
reach Red bay tomorrow to coal and
that Commander Peary will report
from there.
Chateau bay, where the Roosevelt
was expected to call on her way from
Indian Harbor, is closed.
Red bay is about twenty miles west
of Chateau bay.
