tax court has declared himself on the
subject and is inclined to favor such
legislation. Not a few of the city coun-
cilmen agree with him. From present
indications city officials will take the
proposition up for serious consideration
in time to prepare the necessary bill. pro-
vided it is finally decided to carry the
question to Annapolis.
The only difference OF opinion is in
the actual increase in personal property
which should be asked for Soma are
inclined to think that the proper figure
would be $780, while others contend that
it should be $500 or nothing. Attention
is called to the fact that at a previous
session of the legislature an effort was
made to have all property on which a
value OF $500 was placed immune to tax
alton. but this failed, the amount remain
ing at 500. 1t is contended now that
conditions have changed and that legis-
lation tending to benefit those persons
who own small homes would receive more
favorable consideration at Annapolis.

KNOCKED DOWN BY AN AUTO.

o. clock last night she was knocked down by
an automobile and injured. She escaped
serious injury and sustained no broken

was occupied by two white men. who
failed 10 stop to inquire if their victim
was killed or injured.
One of the men was In his shirt

Throne Itself Menaced.

The hopeless embarrassment of the gov
eminent today is almost without remedy.
They have no choice but to suppress the
revolt, and yet the minister of the inte-
riors tactless phrase in his instructions.
"act without pity" has made him the
most execrated man in Spain. Public
opinion has risen so high that the young
king finds the throne itself menaced
There is no question but that the present
government must 60 even if they sue
coed in restoring sembance of public
order. 1t is doubtful if they can accom-
plsh that much. King AlphonsO may
adopt the dangerous eXpedient of accept
ing their designations and appointing sue
cessors more in sympathy with public
opinion, but he is too high spirited to
consent to the abandonment of the Melilla
campaign in the face of semi-victorious
enemy.
There is a report in the Spanish colony
in London today that King Alfonso has
been assassinated. This is prOba bly, false
but the kings reckless courage i'll the face
of physical danger increases the peril Of
some such crisis in the sad situation.

ings were RACED by the force of yester-
days tremors, and that there has been
property loss throughout that section.
