Executive Expects to Do Much
Travelling Before Next SeS-

HAS MANY ENGAGEMENTS
LIKES TO GET AROUND AND
TALK TO THE PEOPLE.
HAS MANY ENGAGEMENTS

Washington. April 16.-President Taft
is continuously booking engagements
to visit societies, cities, celebrations
and schools, for travel is his hobby,
more so than golf. and his record Of be-
ing the greatest traveller in official life
in the United States or any other coun-
try will perhaps not have fallen below
the high mark he established before
his Inauguration, when his presidential
term expires.
His schedule for the immediate fu-
ture is perhaps the tamest thing in the
way of travel that he has so far had
ahead of him. 1t calls for inactiOn
throughout the rest of this month, but
on April 90 he viii be off for an eight
day trip through the middle west. Dur
ing this time he win visit Buffalo,
PittstNrg, Cincinnati and st. Louis.
From the latter point he will return
TO Washington, but going by way of
Nav York City. Two days later he
will make a flying trip TO New York.
Later in the month he will dash over
for Sunday to Atlantic City
Second Western Trip.
June ! he will make his second ex-
cursion TO the middle west. One week
is to be spent in Ohio, Later there Is
a trip scheduled TO the commencement
exercises of Yale university, q journey
TO his summer home az Beverley, Mass,
and the possibility that he will be in
New York City when Colonel Roosevelt
returns from his conquest of European
peoples.
The program for travel on leaving
Beverley is not completed. 1t is known,
though, that there is to be a dash to
Cincinnati, five days journey to San
Antonio, Texas, a visit TO the ranch of
his brother, Charles P. Taft, and a few
other pleasant junkets before the time
arrives to return to Washington and
attend TO important business before
Congress meets.
Friends of the President are pleased
to realize that he is q good traveller
and that he likes to get around and talk
with those who wish to hear him. Ex-
perienee has taught them that the Pres
ident is a sound. convincing speaker
He cannot, however, stand still and
talk. He has TO have at least eight
feet Of floor space in which to walk up
and down when making a speech. This
fact has been tested by his friends, and
now, when tbs President has an engage
ment to deliver an address, the COM
mittee having charge of the program
is directed to provide eight feet of floor
space in order to give the President a
chance to walk while he talks.

questions affecting the contemplated
raise in the assessed value.
Mr.. Burke was then asked if he
knew the value of the road per mile
in the State of Nevada. and he replied
ha he did not.
Governor Dickerson then read to
the Board of Assessors reports from
the various states of the west as re-
CARDS the amount per miie assessed
to various roads, most of which be-
long to the Hartman interests which
control the Central Pacific. In Wy
oming the Northern facific is assess
ed $50, o a mile: the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation line in Washing
ton is assessed over $4,000 per mile;
in Oregon the rates of assessment
range from $4,000 to $40, 900 per mile.
The rate applied to the roads in Cali
fornia is about double the amount as
sessed in his state. In Utah, where
the Hartman interests have a great
control the rate of assessment is as
low as in Nevada in some cases, bur
they are rare even in that state.
The above statement had been COM
piled at the request of the Governor
and the railroad commission the lat
ter taking a great interest in the pres
ent meeting. From the interest man
ifested in the letters while they are
being read and discussed by the Gov
ernor i. is apparent that the Board
has seen a light.
Following the reading of these va
rious statements an adjournment OF
the Board was taken to o'clock this
afternoon.
This afternoon the board met at
. o'clock and SHORTLY after went into
executive session and remained so
until $50 P Nj. While none of the
proceedings Of the executive session
wer emade public, it is understood
that the opposing forces are only a
fe wthousand dollars apart in the rate
of assessment to be applied to the
Central Pacific, the road under dis
cussion.
Adjournment was taken until II a.
m. tomorrow without any action of
the board. No vote was taken in the
executive session, but it is believed
that the matter will be concluded at
the morning session.

Death RObS
Man of Fortune

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 12.-Adolph En-
gier, Jr., who was found dead from
the effects of what was believed to
have been morphine, taken with sui
cidal intent, when an officer sought
to arrest him for vagrancy the latter
part OF last week, having for some
time been penniless and despondent,
actually died, according to the Coro-
ner's verdict, from heart disease and
alcoholism. His death occurred just
as he received word that the first in,
stallment of his share of a fortune
was coming to him.
Young Engler was a graduate of
Columbia Universitys medical depart
ment He was known in Goldfield as
the Count" because of his aristo-
cratic personality. His father is said
to have been a tobacco importer, a
member of the produce exchange of
New York, and died December 18th
last, leaving an estate reported as
S15O,O00 in real estate cash and Sc

Found Nearly
Frozen to Death

The old Chinaman employed by
Walter Chedic at his graphite mine
to the southwest Of this city was dis
covered today nearly dead from the
cold. The Chinaman left this city
last Thursday and states that since
that time he has geen lying in the
rear Of the Gardner lime kiln. AS a
result both OF his feet and his two
hands are frightfully frozen, in fact
II Is a peculiar thing that the aged
man did not freeze to death.
As soon as the man was discovered
Mr.. Chedic had his sent to doctor
and everything done to relieve his
intense suffering. It Is feared that
" the aged Chinaman lives at all ne
will have to have one of his hands
amputated AMI he may lose one OF
his feet.
When he left this city last Thurs
day he was probably loaded up on
gin and dope and wandered from the
road ending up at the lime kiln where
he has remain for nearly week.

Assessors Fail
to Agree ON Rate
of Assessment
Important Session Held Today and
Outlook Favorable for Raise
in Railroad Valuations

Yesterday afternoon the Board of
Assessors took up the matter of as
sessing the Central Pacific Railroad.
On motion of Assessor McTearney,
railroad interests, addressed tle
Board. He was asked many questions
by Governor Dickerson as regards the
value of the road and the cost of con-
struction. Some of the answers he
knew but others were too much for
the representative of the Hartman
interests. At the close of the session
it looked as though the fls st inning
had been won by Governor Dickerson.
This morning the Board met at II
o'clock and Judge Bartine addressed
the Board as Chairman of the State
Ra ,lroad Commission. He read to the
Board of Assessors a recent decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States which held that property
should be assessed on the value rep
resented by its income value and the
value the property would sell for in
the open market.
Mr. Bartine stated that the COM
pany acknowledged that they figured
their income at ten per cent on $15,-
600 a mile, or in other words. under
the decision of the Federal Supreme
Court the Board of Assessors could
assess he road at the rate of $780,
600 a mile and still be within the Jaw,
the road to allow the $4,000 a mile at
the rate of 10 per cent
Following Mr. Bartine, Governor
Dickerson asked Mr.. Burke his po-
sition with lis company and received
the reply that he was the tax attorney
of the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The Governor then asked Mr..
Burke if he could give any good and
sufficient reason why his road should
not be assessed at the rate of $1OO.-
600 per mile in this state Mr.. Burke
replied that he was not prepared to
answer.
The Governor then stated that in his
opinion the railroad was making a
very poor showing considering that
they knew that the Board was to meet
regarding the assessment of railroad
property and that they should have
sent their agent TO appear before the
Board prepared at least to answer
