[ P.0X CASE
IN CITY HOSPITAL
North Carolina Negro Has Been
Source Of Infection for
Several DAYS.

North Carolina has furnished Rich
mond another smallpox patient. This
was discovered yesterday afternoon by
q doctor at the City Home, when Sam
uel Edwards, twenty-five years old,
was found suffering with the disease
In one of the colored wards. Edwards
came to Richmond last Friday and
spent two days walking about the
streets before he was finally picked up
at Seventeenth and Fairfield Streets
and removed In tho ambulance to tho
City Home. Edwards cannot tell what
sections OF the city he visited, and for
ithls reason Chief Health Officer Levy,
who was called in OH the case yester-
DAY afternoon, IS unableto say to what
extent the city has become infected.
Edwards claims to have lived on
East Main STREET. and says he walked
many miles about the streets, often
being IN large crowds. There was no
visible eruption until yesterday. but
prior to that time the doctors were
suspicious and he was partially lso-
lated while at tho City Home, and 1t
is not feared that the disease will
spread among the other patients there
Edwards was removed last night to
the smallpox hospital, In the county,
and every precautlon taken to prevent
q spread of the disease.
The negro had not been vaccinated.
He claims to have lived formerly III

from there for about week, and for

what towns he has visited since. Or.
Levy says there Is no doubt but that
Edwards has exposed many persons to
the disease. and In order to give every

.iEW EQUALIZATION
ORDER IS HELD UP
Judge Hosmer Will Hear Further

Judge Hosmer has reconsidered his

purpose or making new equalization

hear further argument in the matter

Judge Hosmer ordered that the equal

that the equalization committee reach.

IL Is believed considerable pressure
was brought to bear on Judge Hosmer

as the delay caused by the calling of
a special meeting and the work OF
preparing new figures and striking the
tax rate again would cause great con
fusion, and delay the time for collect

There was nothing the matter with

II they want to get the figures recon-

Assessor Plass says regarding the
attempt TO secure a new valuation Of
Wayne county townships through the
courts:
During the last week OF the boards
session IL looked as though the De-
troit members had reason to believe
that the county members did not seri-
ously intend to bring the alleged
over-equalization to an issue. The
city and county are something like
one family. and as the city's assess
ments are raised right along the city
members apparently felt justified in
making @ reasonable proportionate in
crease In the townships Anticipating
q boost II may be that some sections
followed the time-honored custom OF
taking security against overtaxation
by means of differentiation and the
city members, perhaps taking this
into account, acted accordingly. | am
sure that the city members were and
are still of the opinion that a fairly
equitable equalization was made, aud
yet had the contestants pushed their
objections before the committee and
the board these objections would have
been more fully gone into and con-
sidered, and the conclusion reached
in a more friendly spirit"
