ADVERTISING TALKS.

MR.. C. r. ATCHISON, of the
Nashville. "TENNESSEEAN-

day how the recital, in his pa

which they were made (which

business interests in Nashville

that his businesS needed the
IMPETUS that ADVERTISING

prosecution In Richmond deferred
them, and today they fought further
to delay placing Beattie under fire be-
fore the Jury. After Beattie's story Is
told the prosecution, armed with the
enigmatic sweetheart, may riddle his
defense. 1t was to meet this situa-
ton his lawyers planned today.
Thus the prosecution held the little
OF the defense.
.'Win you call Beulah Binford"
Special Prosecutor Wendenburg was
asked.
'It all depends upon what Henry
Beattie says when he takes the stand"
was the reply.
Meantime, the 17-year-old girl in
Richmond jail held the center Of all
thoughts. Neither prosecution nor de-
fense can forecast accurately what
she will tell IL she takes the stand or
what her attitude toward the prisoner
will be.
But the girl wept tears Of disap-
pointment at the failure heretofore OF
the lawyers to place here before the
jury.
"oh, why don't they either call me
az witness or let me out Of jail?"
she sobbed today.
Harry M. Smithj the keen-witted
chief OF the defense worked prac-
ticaily all night planning today's pro-
ceedings., Private detectives brought
prospective witnesses to his home,
where he sat threshing out the case.

STATE TAX IS
At HIGH MARK
Amount This Year Will Be &c.
523,041, Says Auditor
General Fuller.

LANSING. Mich. Sept. 2.--Auditor-
General Fuller ~ now arranging the
state tax, which will be the largest
In the history Of the commonwealth.
This year 1t will be $6,523, 10, COM
pared with $4.72s, ,00O.07 for 1910. Un-
der the new valuation the rate per
$1,000 will be s2.s5. instead of $S.42,
in 1910, the lower rate being due to
the increased valuation.
This year the University Of Michi-
gan will draw s85s, 900, an increase of
$20s, 900 over last year, while the
Michigan Agricultural college will re-
ceive $208,000 an increase OF $4,000.
Owing to a legislative error the In
dustrial School for Boys is left with
out an appropriation this year and
this institution will have to be main
tanned from the general fund of the
state. The asylums will draw $685.
98176; state highway department,
S245, 900: state normal college, $780,
975; prisons, $134,000; National
Guard $16S,610; soldiers home. $780,
900: legislature $105.000.
Several counties have remitted
specific taxes on mortgages, now pay
able at the rate Of one half of one per
cent on mortgages now In force. This
relieves the owners from paying the
general tax. Wayne has RENTED to
Auditor General Fuller, $436, st. Clair,
$43, Lenawaee. s136, Jackson, $l2.
ingham, $123, Genesee, $103. Under
the law the state receives half the
money collected.
According to the monthly report OF
State Treasurer. there is $s3s,lsS In
the general fund at the present time.
This is $4,000 less than was In the
general fund a year ago and II appears
evident that this fund will be empty
by November /. However, one item
that goes to make up the pig tax iesg ~
this year is $250,000 with which 10

item Of $4,000 to be used for emer-

The next time e. Leroy Pelietier
gives dinner to a coterie of no
tables in the fields OF advertising.
motoring, aviation or any OF the 9TH
er pursuits In which he Is interested,
he is going to count the chairs.
Mr.. Pelletier Is not superstitious,
but he is taking no foolish chances.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
Mr.. Pelletier entertained jolly par
ty of aviators, promoters and news
paper men, in the Pontchartrain. The
Detroit aviation meet was then In
progress and among It's most enthusi-
astic supporters was the Studebaker
corporation, through Walter Il. Flan-
ders, it's general manager, and Mr..
Pelletier, its advertising director. The
entire Moisant troupe was In atten-
dance.
II was noted by one OF the aviators
present that covers had been laid
for 13 but, as one of the chairs was
unoccupied, the remark passed of
In Jest. As a matter Of fact, Mr.. Pei
letter had tactfully arranged for one
empty sitting, in memory OF the late
John B. Moisant, brother OF one OF
the guests at the luncheon and close
friend OF several OF the others. Mois-
ant had plunged from the sky to
death in a Louisiana marsh just one
year ago to the day.
Later on, a latecomer occupied the
Moisant chair.
Those who attended that dinner
may not believe in the classic old
thirteen superstition. Nevertheless,
they have sustained severe shock.
In less than two months, two mem
bers Of the party have done the dip
of death and enrolled their names
among the army Of martyrs to the
science of aviation.
