the many dinner parties, dances and teas
which the officers have been giving on
board since their arrival Monday after
noon.
The Idaho won the title as hostess of
the fleet Tuesday, and the officers were
the busiest lot of men to be found on any
of the ships, for a luncheon, an afternoon
tea and dinner party were given all in
one day. with the result that all of those
who were present at the different affairs
are singing the praises OF the gallant
young officers who made such royal hosts
The luncheon on board this ship was
given by Mrs. w. H. Reynolds, wife of
Lieut.. Commander Reynolds. in honor of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry B. Darlington of
Chicago. who had the pleasure Of meeting
the sixteen officers, and all dined together
in the wardroOm.

AMENDING TAX Statement

A. the meeting of the East Washington
Citizens Association held last night in
Donohoes Hall there was A brief dis
In the Office of the District assessor. In
a resolution offered by Charles A. Shields
IT was recited that the assessor is earnest
~ striving to reduce the arrearages OF
taxes by furnishing information to tax
payers, and that the payment Of arrears
would be greatly facilitated if to all cur
rent tax bills there should he added a
printed notice OF arrears prior to the
payment of the annual tax bills In
conclusion the resolution asked the as
sociation to recommend that such prior
notice be attached to all tax bills when
ever bills are delivered to taxpayers.
NJ. l, Weller explained the method pur-
sued by the assessor and said the card
system which had been introduced shows
the status Of every piece of property in
the District.
With all the precautions TAKEN said
MI. Shields, more than 5000 pieces of
property had been advertised and some
thing like 1900 Of them were redeemed.
hen persons want to pay their current
taxes they should he handed a memo
randum showing arrearages, if any.
1T is merely a matter Of good bust
ness, added Mr.. Shields. NO private
business firm could hope TO succeed il
patrons were shifted from one person to
against them. If the arrearages are
made known when current bills are rem
dered the trouble would be remeded'

enactment OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law and asked him to read his letter
Iof acceptance.
X Mr.. Rees produced his letter of ac-
ceptance and began to read, when
he came to that part of the letter it
read exactly as Helvering claimed
that it would and several of the aud
ience laughed. This aroused Mr..
Rees' wrath and he declared that the
audience was prejudiced against him
and were creating disorder to take up
his time. Il ask you to be decent :"
he said and later said that If Mr..
Helvering did not stop, his tactics he

the Fort, but do not go home until
they take a look at Parker's new

finished yesterday. The concrete
mixer has kept the Elk carts busy ev-
cry minute pouring the piers. IGt
as soon as the concrete has settled
the grading will be comm anced ard
will be done by Thurs iay.
A 10 foot fence IS being built
around the Parker site. This is not
to keep the people from seeing the
work that is being done. 1t is to pro-
tect the property.
The forms for the first floor will be
completed Friday. The pouring of
concrete on the forms will be begun
Saturday. The first floor will be laid
at the same time. The steel, on
which the concrete is poured for the
first floor, arrived yesterday and viii

Fire broke out shortly after foul
O'Clock this morning In shed In the
rear OF the Prendergast building
ON the south side of Third street be.
tween Cedar and Mulberry. 1t spread
rapidly. An alarm turned 5n by Roy
Callahan from the Union Pacific de-
pot at 4:3O was responded to prompt
ly, but the department could at first
do nctning for lack Of water pres
sure. The flames caught In the ad-
Joining building belonging to J. T.
Prendergast and occupied by the +.
V. Prendgrgast garage, and before
adequate pressure was supplied, the
entire structure was ablaze. Thence
fire spread to adjoining buildings,
but was soon checked.
The Prendergast building is to-
tai loss. $4,000 worth Of automo-
bile supplies, belonging to the gar
age, we're also destroyed. Nine cars
which were in the building when the
fire broke out we're saved without
much damage beyond severe
scorchlng. c. R. Plelser, whose
stock of pianos and musical instru-
ments was stored in the east side of
the building, and Reese G Smith,
who had just received a new con
signment of furnaces and timers
supplies, are also heavy losers. The
cause of tie fire is unknown. There
was nothing Of highly inflammable
nsture contained in the shed or seed
house where It was first discovered,
and the gasoline and oil tanks be-
longing to the garage were not
reached by the flames till after the
department had arrived.

Pressure in Eight Minutes.

]. X. Forney Of the water COM
mission does not understand why the
pressure was short when the fire
started this morning. AS soon as
the alarm was given" Mr.. Forney
said, 81 took out my watch and went
to the meter in my house to see how
soon the direct pressure would be
on. 1t came within seven or eight
minutes. All our appliances seem
to have been working perfectly ]
cannot see what caused the hitch at
the fire."
Insurance Companies "Get orr Easy"
The heaviest losers carried little
or no insurance, and the amount
which the policy holders can hope
to recover will probably be less than
$4,000. The largest policy was writ
ten by Ed Maklns on the Pleiser
piano stock. Its value is $1,000, but
Mr.. Plelser's loss is more than twice
that amount. DR.. Steelsmith was
also insured In the Makins agency,
but the damage to his books and
instruments was not great. Reese q
Smith are insured for 5000 with
Nichols G. Howard, and Frank PEN
nington carried 500 with G. c. An
derson. The Abilene Mercantile Co.,
which sustained a $2,5OO loss on val
liable Implements and supplies stored
in the seed shed where the fire broke
out carries insurance on It's entire
stock, but It is not yet known how
mucf Of this will apply to goo1s not
contained in the cOmpany's main
