Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. I4-Mrs. Adeline
Baker. reputed to be the divorced wife of
a former governor Of Delaware. and who
has part interest in real estate valued at
$4,000 died this morning in the utmost
squalor in the front frst-story room Of
u02 Vine street, where she had lived the
life Of a recluse. with two dogs, since last
June.
Greasy wall paper clung TO the walls of
the room in which she died. The floor
wes carpetless.
The couch upon which she breathed her
last was old and moth-eaten. and blocks
OF wood had been placed under it TO take
the place OF legs. The room in which
she died was Uttered with q miscellany
OF old clothes and papers scattered about
IN the greatest confusion.
The room adjoining that in which she
died served the elderly woman as a kitch-
en-. Here old stovepipes, wood. coal, bot
ties. and boxes were heaped about In
confusion. The stove upon which she
had cooked her food was broken.
Received No Visitors.
The old lady had lived here alone for
months, cooking her own food and taking
care of herself, receiving no visitors. She
owned her house.
She had been sick for six weeks. Frank
Gruber, who has a room in the house.
had been doing errands for her now and
then. summoning the physician when she
needed one. and doing such things.
This morning sounds which came from
the rooms made him think that Mrs. Ba-
ker needed attention. He went into the
room and found her gasping her last on
her miserable bed. She died in a few
minutes and, as there were 10 rela-
tives about, the body was taken to the
morgue Immediately.
According TO Gruber Mrs. Baker had
been married three times after being di-
vorced from a Delaware governor. Her
second husband was named Hand, and
later she married a sea captain named
Caesar, who died nearly fifteen years
ago. A son was born TO them. Clifford
Caesar. Of 2630 Oakford street, who on
hearing of his mothers death. had the
body taken from the morgue to his
home.
Twelve years ago she is said 10 have
married Gustav Baker. who resides in
the vicinity Of Broad and Jefferson
streets.
Married for Fourth Time.
Mr.. Bakers mother, who is said to be
immensely wealthy. is said TO have threat
ened TO disinherit her son if he did not
give up the woman.
They parted last June and since that
time Mrs. Baker lived in the front room
of the Vine street address, of which she
IS d part owner. She refused To go 10
the hOme OF her son, who on several occa-
slons wanted to take his mother TO his
home Her only companions were Cath
crime Lane. woman OF about the same
age. who was recently taken TO the
Philadelphia Hospital, where she IS still
confined. Two dogs were her faithful
companions, and she never left the house
without them. This morning when the
police attempted to take the body with
difficulty they beat the dogs of.
Mrs. Baker inherited her property from
her grandmother a Mrs. Gardner. The
agent in charge OF the property says that
she has a part interest in several houses,
which are valued at more than $4,000
A thorough search Of the neighborhOod
of Broad and Jefferson streets was made,
but no one could be found by the name
of Gustave Baker. or any one who knew
the dead woman.

FOR FOLK FOR PRESIDENT.
The Ex-Governor Will Be Asked
to Make the Race.

ST. Louis, April.-When ex-Gov-
enor Folk returns to st. Louis next
week he will be waited upon by 4
voluntary committee of his friends
and asked to make the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination
in 1912. According to Lon Sanders,
who is at the head of the organiza-
ton, letters from Democratic leaders
in sixteen states will be presented to
Governor Folk urging him to run for
President.
Letters were recently sent by the
committee to the chairmen Of Demo-
cratic state committees from Pennsy-
lvania to California; and replies, az
cording to Sanders, have been favor
able. Folk has not yet decided
whether to make try for the presi-
dental nomination or to run again for
United States Senator for Missouri.
Sanders and other influentialfriendS
of Folk wish him to make the presi-
dental race. The Missouri Demo-
cratic League, with committeeman in
all the congressional districts, was
organized in Kansas City in January
to boost Folks political chances.
This is a temporary organization,
but it will be made permanent if FOIL
consents to run for President.
The ex-governor left two days agC
for a lecture tour of a week. On his
return the committee will wait OF
him, and he will then determine
whether to run for President or thu
Senate.

have left to loan by placing it else

mighty solid individual at the bank.
The corn acreage promises to be
''the largest ever" this year. This is
sure, if the yield is normal, to make
grain for the feed lots. By fall, | am
thinking, it will not be the grain that
will worry the farmer, but the steers
and the shoats to eat it. A litter of

Missouri Equalization Board Re
duces Assessed Personal and
Real Valuations S1S,941,425


Jefferson City, Mo-, April.-When
the State Board of Equalization COM
pleted the task of assessing the real
estate and personal property of Mis-
souri, for the present years taxes it
had made reductions aggregating
SIS, 94l, 425. OF this sum the total on
real estate was reduced Sl4, l46, 627
and personal property to the extent
of S4,794, 79S. This leaves the total
assessment of these classes of prop
erty stand at 81, 1853, $685. 5S.
The returns made by the Assessors
to the board gave total increase
over the 1909 assessment by the
board of slO5, $3.50, SOL. AS a conse-
quence, and deducting the cuts made,
by the board, there is still an increase
in the total assessed valuation of the
real estate and personal of the State
for the year of $3.50, 500, 500.
The heaviest reduction made by the
board was in the assessment of JAS
per county. There the reduction was
$l1, 1873, 84l, bringing the total, as
fixed by the Assessor, down from
S32, ia, 425 to sol, 5l5,6S4. This ac-
counts for more than half of the total
reductions.
There was no change made in the
assessment of the City of ST. Louis
as returned by the local officials. It
stands at $685., 6l4,52 more than
one-third of the entire valuation of
the State.
Outside of Jasper county the de-
creases are small, and pretty general
ly scattered. St. Louis county gets
$57, 7Sl, Buchanan $4,000, Atchison
$l10,618, and so on down the line.
The assessment of corporation
property will be taken up next month.
1t was assessed last year at $170, ia,
674. This doubtless will be consid.
erably increased, and when finally
fixed the total valuation of the State
for taxable purposes this year will be
close to 81 $50, 100000.
Owing to the litigation in the Fed
eral Court to compel the board to in
crease the valuation of Macon county,
it may be Of some interest to know
that the total valuation there was re-
duced $50, The Assessors re
turn showed total Of s., 1858, 5S4, ano
the total fixed by the board is IS, 598
ZIG.
In finally passing on these valua
tons, Governor Hadley stood. on
against State Auditor Gordon, Attor
ney General Major and Secretary o
State Roach. He said: II want t
be recorded as voting no, for the rea
son that in my judgment these equal
cations Of assessments in the variou
counties are not made as required b,
