Certain councilmen have dis
covered that the people were
tricked in the recent bridge bond
Issue. Yesterday the East Side
asked the council street commit
tee for bridge over the r street
gulch. Over 100 school children
and ali the people living there
now have to walk nearly half a
mile to get around the gulch be-
cause $4,000 bridge is needed.
When the people asked the COM

tee turned them down because
there is no money.

mentioned In it can be built out
of the proceeds. The people gen.

cause an officer in the marine
corps told 1t to me-"
And Col. Chas. A. Doyen, COM
mander Of the post, explained why
he had not made search for the
revolvers in use that night, say
ing, 81 did not think it was neces-
sary. The officers who were there
said Sutton killed himself and 1
was satisfied they were telling the
truth"
The naval court took Lieuts.
Willing and VIM. F. Bevan to
task for not stopping the fight.
( Willing was officer of the day and
Bevan was officer of the guard at
the time. They both saw the
fight. Commander Hood, presi-
dent of the court, asked both Of
ficers IL they were not familiar
with their duty under the naval
regulations to stop fights. But
Leonard interposed to ask If it
were not true that the officers
were students at the time and
did not know these regulations.
But through the maze of con-
fiicting statements, some things
stand out. 1t is evident that SUIT
ton rode to the grounds that night
with Lieuts. Robt. Il. Adams, Ed
ward A. 0sterman and Harold III.
Utley. The automobile was
stopped and there was q fight.
Statements conflict as to who was
the aggressor. Sutton is supposed
TO have run for some guns and to
have later shot Adams. Adams
had no serious wound to show for
if. One of the bullets is supposed
TO have hit Lieut.. Edward p. Roel-
ker, who he'd been on a drunk
that night and happened to stum-
BILE onto the fight. Rocker had
mo- wound, but it was declared
that the bullet penetrated his coat
and outer shirt, and then, for
some unknown reason, stopped.
Sutton was at that time thrown to
5 the ground. Adams admits he
threw Sutton down. Sutton was
badly beaten. Someone is sup
posed TO have said, 'My God, he's
killed Roelker!" And then SUIT
ton, with three men on top of him
and his arms doubled mp under
him, according to testimony, is
supposed TO have pulled out one
arm and shot himeslf. The bullet
entered the top of his head.
Willing says he was standing
near and afterward took the pistol
from Sutton's hand. Sergt. De
Hart. who came when he heard the
fighting. says after the shot, some
one-he claims not to know who
handed him revolver which he
threw away. Willing says De Hart
pointed out this revolver to him
the next morning and they picked
It up. De Hart says he never saw
the pistol again, and that Utley
told him 1t had been found.

tons life was fired. 1t is thought
Sutton's revolver was found on
the parade ground by Willing, but
no one knows how many empty
shells there were in 1t.
And through 1t all, mother
and sister, loyal to the memory
of the dead boy, have listened to
the story. They have gained
something in having second in

THE BOARD OF REVIEW
Will Do Nothing-Committee
Favors Fair Cash
Valuation.

| One OF the several important meet
ngs held last night was that of the
committee appointed at the Mer-

with the assessor and his deputies
regarding the raising of the valuation
on personal property this year. There
were present Or. Schulz, p 7. Lang
an and Douglas Halliday of the com
mittee and Assessor Fred ID. Nellis
and Deputies Cahill Harmon and Sui
liyan.
The proposition was discussed al
length, it being shown aud admitted
that the valuations had been very
much TOO low, on nearly all personal
property in the city, there being very
few exceptions, Assessor Nellis told
his story clearly and forcibly, saying
that he had much TO contend with,
people using arguments of all kinds
to justify themselves in giving low
valuations on their possessions. He
cited a number of instances of big

Tar below their real value. He was
willing 10 raise these assessments to
what in his Judgment they ought TO
be, provided he could have the assur
ance that the Board of Review would |
sustain him. He had done this in the |
real estate assessment, he said, last |
year, and a member of the Board of |
Review was the first and most vehe- |
ment in protesting against a raise on |
his own property. and had gone out
and invited others in to make protest |
although he had urged a higher as
sessment some weeks before. MI
Nellis said he would not make any
changes in figures given in by tax
payers if he was to be sat down on
by the Board of Review.
1t was the sense OF the meeting
hat the assessor and his deputies
place fair cash value upon all per-
sonal property and that the Board OF
Review sustain him in the action.

AS TO TAX DoDGING.

Space is given to copious extracts
from statement published in the
Evening Citizen yesterday by Mr.. M.
j. Howley. The purpose is to show
approximately how far the DISPOSE.
tfon to dodge taxes has carried the
people of Cairo, and Mr.. Howley
'.makes a very good CASE as the law.
yers say. 1t appears however that,
while all that Mr. Howley says is
strictly TRUE, he has failed to state
some things which need to be stated
to avoid misleading the average
reader. For instance, the compari.
son between the taxable value Of
property in Cairo in 1880 and the
same in 1908, shows a decided de-
crease. But 1t ought to be stated.
hv way of explanation that, while in
1880 the taxable value was the all
legged real value, in 1908 the taxable
value is only one-fifth of the real
value. The apparent decrease in the
value of property is therefore the
fault of the state law and not of the
taxpayers. for the alleged real value
of property in Cairo In 1908, as com
pared with the alleged value in 1880
has increased more than five times.
Another fact which ought to be
stated. in justice to the banks and
big corporations which are cited. is
that. in addition to the taxes paid
by them as stated bv Mr. Howley.
they pay taxes on all their tangible
property. The taxes given by Mr..
Howley are on capital stock less the
tangible property and are mere
trine. But the taxes which the banks
and the public service corporations
pay TO the city and county on their
tangible property amounts to thou
sands of dollars. No doubt all the
property of these corporations, as all
the property of every one else in
Cairo, is valued too low, but Mr.
Howley's statement is misleading in
leaving the impression that the taxes
paid on the intangible property Is all
that is paid by the corporations
named.
And In respect TO the school tax
il ought to be explained that the
people of Cairo have been putting M
some creditabIe buildings in late
years. for which they are paying and
which will last them long time when
they are paid for.
