tion in all the important classes is so
strons as to amaze the big breeders of
the northwest Those who came ex-
pecting to win with ease are wondering
If their best birds stand any show for
a. place.
The growing of the roosters and the
cackling of the hens, together with
the scoring of the birds in the big
show window. the pair of peacocks in
one of the others and the litter of
puppies serve to attract a large crowd
az all hours of the day and night. The
attendants have great difficulty in
keeping the people out until the show
is ready to receive them.
II had been planned to open the !
show this morning at 10 o'clock but |
that was found impossible and the |
doors were not opened until o'clock. !
Even then more than 100 exhibits |
were not in their places and will not |
be until late this evening. The doors |
will be kept open for two hours and
a half after supper and will then be

Civilian EMPLOYEES OF Navy Department
Al Newport To Be Reprimanded

Several civilian employees of the ma
val torpedo factory NEWPORT, K. l.,
will be reprimaded by the commandment
of the naval station there for partcipa-
ton in an entertainment a few months
ago in which Boston chorus girl gave
a dance draped only in an American
nag. Shortly after the dance took
place the facts in the case werereport-
ed to the Navy Department, which was
asked to investigate the incident
As the persons involved were civilian
employees of the torpedo factory they
were not amenable TO military disci-
pine. The dance was not as shocking
as the first reports of the incident IN
dicated. The investigation also showed
that a member of the Newport City
Council and police officer were pres
ent. The Department takes the ground
that the incident came within the jurls-
diction of the civil authorities at New
port rather than the Navy Department.
The men involved will Le censured and
warned not to attend such entertain
ments in the future.

THE AUGUST HEAVENS
Shooting Stars To Be Seen From August
10 To I2-TwO Events ri Unusual
Interest

Writing ON the subject of the
Heavens In August, Mr. Eric Doc
little, in the Baltimore Sun, says:
ITO those who take pleasure in
watching the face of the heavens
there are presented this month two
events of more than usual interest
First is the shower of August shoot
ing stars, that stream of swiftly
moving little bodies through which
the earth passes at this time each
year. Less striking, but of even more
interest to the careful observer, is
the Frightening of the remarkable
variable star, Mars, which is to at
tain its greatest brilliancy this year
on the third of the present month
today.
aside from these two rather infre-
quent phenomena, the observer will
find much in the midsummer heavens
to claim his attention. AS he ex-
plores the summer branch of the Milky
Way, which is now in its best position
for observation, he will encounter
many faint, cl0udlike nebulas and
double stars, and most interesting of
all are the large number of star clus-
tiers and clouds of stars which he will
discover.
No one who, sitting at his tele-
scope on a quiet starlight night, ex-
amines one of these last wonderful
objects and reflects that each of the
distant, family shining little points of
light is a great sun like our own sun
can fail to be overwhelmed by par
tial realization ofthe stupendous mag
nitude of our universe.
eff from the tenth to the twelfth
of the month the observer will watch
the constellation Perseus he will
every few minutes see one Cf these
bodies appear near a certain point
and dart swiftly outward from this
region in any direction across the sky
The shooting stars of this shower are
of blush color, move with unusual
swiftness, and frequently leave
streaks. or tails, behind them. They
are a stream of particles moving in
the path of the comet of 1862, and are
believed to be merely the scattered
material of this comet itself.
Each particle, as it plows through
our air is burned up by the friction
developed. These particles are stream
ing along in their paths in nearly
parallel lines; the appearance they
present to US of darting outward from
a fixed point in the sky is merely the
effect of perspective. >

MAY BECOME JUNK
Cruisers Columbia And Minneapolis ir
Dagger

A naval board headed by Rear. Ad-
miral Thomas began yesterday the task
at the Philadelphia Navy Yard OF pass
ing upon the fate of three cruisers
which but a few years. ago were the
undisputed leaders in their classes.
The vessels are the armored cruiser
Brooklyn and the protected cruisers
Columbia and Minneapolis, built as the
commerce destroyed of the navy. The
three cost over $4,000. exclusive OF
their armament. The Columbia and
Minneapolis, in the opinion of officers at
the yard. are most in danger Of being
consigned TO the 5unk pile. rs they are
in bad shape. The Brooklyn, Admiral
Schley's flagship in the Spanish2Ameri-
can War. and the vessel which played
very active part at the battle OF San
tiago. is in better shape and IS more
likely TO be ordered oyerhauled and
moderniZed.
The fate of several old monitors, IN
Guiding the Miantonomah, which also
took part in the Spanish war. will like
wise be decided.

HOW TO KILL FLEAS
Water Is Ineffective But Kerosene Oil
Does The Business

Fleas can live in water from one to
seven days, but kerosene and miscible
oil. bisuIfd of carbon, hydrocy anic acid
gas and sulphur dioXide are quick and
effective in destroying them. according
to the report of the public health ser
vice. The Investigation was made by
Maurice b. Mitzmain, an assistant in
the plague laboratory at San Francisco,
who reports in detail on the technic of
flea killing.
Only heas healthy enough to hop
about freely were experimental with
and no flea subjected to various destruc-
tive schemes We're regarded as dead un-
less the observation of them covered a
considerable period. for many of them
at first apparently killed recovered suf-
fciently to perform their duties, includ
ing biting.

STILL AFTER SUGAR TRUST
Government To Spring Suit Against
The Corporation

The federal authorities are almost
ready to spring their browning anti
trust suit against the American Sugar
Refining Company. They believe that
the litigation will be protracted, but
eventually will result in a crushing
blow to the great concern whose
affairs have been under a country
wide and rigid investigation since
last December.
The case rests in the hands of Uni
ted States District Attorney Wise, in
New York, in whose district the suit
will be filed. The preparation of the
case is virtually completed, and it is
only matter of a short time before
the issue of monopoly in the sugar
trade of the country will be squarely
presented and fought out in the
courts.
Mr.. Wise was in close touch with
Attorney General Wickersham before
the latter's departure with Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Nagel for
Alaska, and there has been consider
able correspondence in the past few
days between Mr.. Wise and the De-
partment of Justice bearing on the
progress Of the preparation of the
case and the multitude of details
involved in what is expected to be
one of the most important proceed
ings ever brought by the govern
ment with respect to restraint of
trade.

REASSESSMENT PROBLEMS
All Property Must Be Returned Al Its
Full Cash Value

The reassessment of property,
VIII ch is now in progress, not only in
Anne Arundel county but nearly the
entire State, is naturally a most i'm
portant procedure. Both property
owners and assessors are confronted
with the various questions, and many
of these questions are certainly diff
cult, even when not combined with
individual desire to pay as small an
amount of taxes as possible, which
will be struggled with.
One large difficulty is found in
placing a separate valuation on land
and buildings, largely for the reason
that property is never sold that way.
| consequently there is no true guide
to such a separation of values, such
as public sales might be accepted as
providing. That reassessment is un-
popular with the masses, but states
the situation mildly, as there is dis
tinct fear that while the basis of tax
alton is likely to be largely increased,
the present rate of taxation may not
be decreased. 1t is expected that
the assessors will have rather some
trying and disagreeable experiences.
Rumors have reached the Office OF
the State Tax Commissioner that not.
withstanding the plain provision of
the new assessment law that all prop
erty is to be assessed at "its full
cash value certain assessors have
fixed upon a fraction of the estimated
value as the figure which they will re.
turn as the assessment Of the prop
ferty. 1t is pointed out that this
course would be in direct violation OF
the law that any assessors who sc
acted would be liable to the fine anC
Imprisonment provided in Section. q
Of the law for wilful neglect of the
| duties of their office
Word has also been received at the
| State Tax Commissioner office thai
some assessors are making certain
changes in the form of the affidavit
The State Tax Commissioner has in
formed assessors that the only
changes allowable are to make thu
affidavit read take oath" or 'af
firm, " as the case may be, and Il
strike out either the word real o
personal" as to make the blanl
apply properly to the kind of proper
