wide by thirteen feet nine inches high.
The composition shows sorrowing
memory, crowned with the olive leaves
of peace and leaning upon her victor
ious shield, watching the departure of
a small group of marching soldiers,
and it is interesting to note how much
more subtle in suggestion is this treat
ment than the more usual one of
troops confronting the spectator.
Above the heads of the marchers,
banners are flying in the wind and in
the background are seen the spars of
vessels, while in the foreground are
two small gravestones inscribed 'Ici
git un soldat de la France" and the
other "Ici git un marin de la France
(Here lies soldier, here lies a sailor
of France.)
On the shield appears the English
inscription: "a tribute of gratitude to
the brave soldiers and sailors oi
France buried here, who gave theil
lives in the struggle for American in
dependence. The memory of theii
deeds will endue forever. 17S1-17S3.
Beneath the tablet is legend: Erect

Annapolis, Nd, April 1S.--On the
campus of st. Johns College, there
was unveiled here today bronze tab
let erected by the General Society of
the Sons of the Revolution to the
memory of the nameless French sol
diers and sailors who in 1881 laid
down their lives in the cause of Amer
lean independence. President Taft
and Ambassador Jusserand both made
formal addresses. The midshipmen of
the National Naval Acamedy did not
turn out in honor of those who pre-
vented the capture and probable sack
of Annapolis, but representatives of
the Sons of the Revolution from all
parts of the country, the Sons of the
American Revolution, the Society of
Cincinnati, the Maryland Historical
Society and the Daughters of the
American Revolution were in attend
ance.
To Professor Henri Marion of the
department of languages at the naval
academy is due in large measure the
credit of awakening interest in the
forgotten allies whose unselfish devo-
ton so largely contributed to our free
dom. Some years ago in lecturing be-
fore the Alliance Franchise at Balti
more he told how French troops un
der Lafayette and Rochambeau en-
camped at Annapolis and by their pres
ence March 17S1) prevented the cap
ture and probable sacking of thai
city. A number of French soldiers
and sailors" he continued, "died from
their wounds or from disease, anG
were buried at that time on tn,
grounds at st. Johns College, An
napolis. Could not monument b.
erected on the graves Of these forgot
ten defenders OF Americas independ
ence?"
In the audience was member 0
the General Society of the Sons of tn
Revolution. He sought out the lee
turer, got from him the needed facts
and, when in 1906, a French fleet cam
to assist at the final interment of tn
first American admiral, John Pau
Jones, whose body had been brough
to America the year before from Paris
Col Oswald Tilghman, a member c

in 1904, an increase of $17,759,O0O, or
10S per cent. The average cost of ma
terials per establishment in 1909 and
1904 was approximately $4,000. In
addition to the component materials
which enter into the products of the
establishment for the census year
there are included fuel, rent of power
and heat, and mill supplies. The cost
of materials, however, does not include
unused materials and supplies bought
either for speculation or for use during
a subsequent period.
Value of Products.
The value of products in 1909 was
$53, ,6S2 900, and $24,459, 900 in 1904, an

The average per establishment was ap.
proximately $4,000 in 1909. and $22,-
900 in 1904.
The value of products represents
the product as actually turned out by
the factories durina the census year
and does not necessarily have any rel
alton to the amount of sales for that
year. The values under this head also
include the amount received for work
done on materials furnished by others.
Value Added BY Manufacture.
The value added by manufacture
represents the difference between the
cost of materials used and their value
after the manufacturing processes
have been expended upon them and
they become products. In 1909 the
value added by manufacture was
| $19, ,529 900, and in 1904, $S,065,OOO, al
increase of $11, ,464,0O0 or 142 per cent
The value added by manufacture il
1909 formed SO per cent of the tota
value of products, and in 1904, 3S PEI
j cent.
Miscellaneous expenses include rem
of factory or works, taxes, and amoun
paid for contract work, which will ap
pear separately in the final reports, al
well as such items of Office and othel
/ expense as,can not be elsewhere classi
fed. In 1909 the amount was $S,77S,
600, and in 1904, SLAP, 900, an increas'
lof $2,SO6,OO0, or 157 per cent. Th'
average miscellaneous expense per es
tablishment in 1909 was approximate
lily $4,000, and in 1904, $1,000.
The salaries and wages in 1870
amounted to $9,2S5,OOO, and in 1904
$S,51S,OOO, an increase of 5,767 900, o
: 164 per cent.
In 1909 the number of salaried off
cials and clerks was 2,199, and in 1904
S1S, an increase of 1880, or 10 pc
{ cent.
The average number Of wage-earr
ers in 1909 was 13,14S. and in 1901
} 5,456, an increase of 1857, or 141 pc
cent.

OF VALUATIONS
Companies Ask That Board Allow at
Least Five Per Cent For Years
Depreciation.

Oklahoma City April lS.-Repre-
sentatives of the telegraph and larger
telephone companies of the state APP
peared before the state board of equal
ization Monday and made statements
as to the assessment of their proper
ties for the year 1911. All asked that
the board allow at least per cent a
year for depreciation as a reduction
from the original cost of their proper
ties as basis for taxation. s. H.
Harris of Oklahoma City, attorney for
the Pioneer Telephone company, stat
ed that his company desired that their
property be assessed on an equal basis
with other property in the state.
He did not believe that it would be
fair to tax the intangible value as
this is subject to excise and occupa-
tion taxes. E. ID. Minis of Oklahoma
City. president of the Pioneer COM
pany, stated that telephone equipment
lis continually becoming obsolete
through the installation of new equip
ment, and that the company up to last
year was unable to earn more than
per cent on the capital stock, which is
about $5,000Q00. He stated that more
than 100000 of old equipment is now
stored in the basement of the COM
pany's building here, which is not
worth burning up. He believed the
board should take this matter, as we'll

making the assessment The only other
telephone company represented was
the Home Enterprise company of
Woodward, with $4,000 capital stock,
and L. B. Collins, secretary and man
ager of the company, appeared.

1000. He stated that the returns of
this year are based on actual market
value, and expressed the opinion that
the assessment of his company for
last year was excessive.
i The Postal Telegraph and Cable
company of Oklahoma was represent
ed by W. A.. Logan, Oklahoma City
manager. The company is new and
has not line in operation as yet, and
only had 24s miles OF poles in the state
when the return was made which were
! valued at $12,51s by the company. S.
J T. Biedsoe, attorney for the Western
: Union Telegraph, stated that the ae-
J tual cost of the property of his com
: pany in Oklahoma was $767 900, but
i that the return of $414,O0O is a fair

: tion at the rate of per cent each year
He stated that the corporation com
