Central railroad They charge the
lhree men with conspiracy to cheat
Ind defraud the railroad by false pre-.
;enses and with operating a conf.
lence game. Hartman and Ewing
we're taken to the Harrison street
police station. Their bonds of $4,000
zach were signed by professional
bondsman.
The allegations In the so.called
graft case are among the most sensa-
ional in which high officials of q
great corporation ever have been
named. The investigation began over
! year ago. 1t reached a crisis last
Ipring when Mr.. Harahan began ac-
ions to recover amounts aggregating
more than $1,0OO,O0O, obtained, the
accusation says, by car repair COM
'anies in connivance with high Off

ir bills. These are said to involve

President Taft Discovers That He Is

Many Tafts There.

Hopedale, Mass, Aug. 2O.-Undis
turbed by political discord in New
York President Taft spent goodly
portion Of the day among the remains
Of his ancestors. With Gov. Draper
as a guide the president started out
early In the morning to visit Mindon
and the nearby towns where for sew
eral hundred years members OF the
Taft family have been among the rep
resentative citizens.
Some startling genealogical facts
were developed, For instance the
president is not only related to Yena-
tor Nelson W. Aldrich Of Rhode Island
but he may also claim distant kind
ship with Ralph Waldo Emerson. For
that matter 1t was made clear before
the day was over that not only the
president and Senator Aldrlch, but
Gov. Draper and Secretary Norton
may all claim to be relatives through
intermarriage Of ancestors who have
been sleeping, some Of them for 200
years, in the ancient burial grounds
Of MiDdon among the tombstones Of

Laurel After Normal.

Without d-isparagement to citizens
of other cities in carrying out their
plans for attracting the Mississippi
normal college to their own strong
holds, it must be said that, whether or
not the trustees decide it that way,
the city of Laurel is deserving of
much praise. Those Jones county peO-
pie adopted a good system by way OF
carrying on their campaign, were
thoroughly organized, and spent good
money for the expense incurred in or
der to complete their qualification to
be considered as an active and aggres-
sive competitor. AS the Laurel offer
stands at the present time, there is a
bona fde cash offer Of $230,000, avail
| able for the use of the trustees, added
to which is the proposition to install
a model school building free Of cost
! 20 the state, and with free water SER
| vice after the plant is located. This
is estimated to bring the total value
| Of the Laurel consideration" up to
about s275,O0 and this in face of the

general that the trustees are limited
in their acceptances to 100000.

PERSONALLY SHOWS DECREASE
MANY Counties Report Falling on In
Personal Taxes.

From present indications, the per-
sonal assessment rolls OF the state
will show a decrease, as compared
with last year, instead of an increase
as was expected. Many OF the 70
counties that have already sent In
their rolls show a decrease, some Oh
them to the amount of nearly $2oO,ooo'
and other counties are expected TO
show q loss. Lincoln county mas
shown the heaviest loss of any coun-
ties reporting to date, but only a rev
of the twenty-five have shown an IN
| crease. and the gain has beer sllgnt
in each instance. The loss shown by
the counties that have reported Is CON
s;derably larger than the gains thus
far recorded.
If that ratio is kept up, the state
wi1, show a loss of about $25O,OO0 IN
personally for the year. Counties that
have formerly come to the front with
a good gain each year, show a loss
this year, and there is no apparen'
reason for it, as there are more people
in the state this year than last, which
would. naturally, increase the person
alty. but the tax rolls show no evl
dence Of this.
