FOR YOUNG
MAX HEAVY

Heavy sentences for the self-con-
fessed youthful burglars and the arrest
OF Mrs. Charles Rakowski. 337-154th
place, West Hammond. were today's de-
velopments following the roundup of
the gang yesterday.

mond this morning was sentenced to
the Jeffersonville prison to serve a
term of from ten to twenty years STAN

were each sentenced to the reform
school at Plainfeld, Ind to remain
there until they are 21 years old. They
are now II and Is years old, respect
lively.
Woman's Trial Tonight
How much?" said Max in rather
startled, yet fiippant. tone of voice
when Judge Reiter had pronounced the
sentence allotting him ten to twenty
years in the states prison. Judge
Reiter ignored the interruption and
turned to the other two youths before
him.
The arrest of Mrs. Eakowski today
was made on the strength of deposit
ton which the three boys made, irnpli-
eating her to the extent that she en-
couraged them in their thefts. They
said she waited for her husband to GO
to work and that she would then invite
the boys to her home and feed them
there telling them at the same time
that they must bring in the supply
Mrs. Rakowski strenuously denied her
guilt today when Captain Hanlon OF
the Hammond department and Chief
Barney johnson appeared at her home
today to make the arrest. She broke
out into torrent of tears and begged
for mercy and consideration, pushing
her two children to the front and ask
ing the officers to desist for their sake
Chief Johnson finally relented, sayine
that he would call for her this evenins !,
| when she will be arraigned in Judge
| Green's court.
| The behavior of the boys since theil
! arrest shows them to have an ute
/! lack of responsibility. Worry does no
enter into their days program, an,

HARLEY PARKER JOKE VICTIM
vice-President Sherman Causes CAR
rest" OF Newly Appointed Amer
lean League Umpire.

Umpire Harley Parker was the vic.
tim of practical joke played on him
by Vice-President Sherman when the
White Sox were meeting the Senators
recently in Washington.
Parker was sitting in the lobby of
the Driscon hotel chatting with
friends. An officer from the United
States senate came into the hotel and
began looking them over" 'Is there
man named Parker?" inquired the
officer.
That's my name" replied the star
tied baseball official. "Is it the UNI
pire you want?"
You are the fellow l am looking
for" replied the officer. 81 have a
warrant here for you"
We'll, guess there is nothing for
me but to go with you." replied
Parker.
The officer of Uncle Sam marched
the unsuspicious arbitrator up to the
desk Of Vice-President Sherman in
the senate, the most august assem-
blage in the United States.
Il guess I've got your man at last"
said the officer as he introduced Um
pire Parker to the vice-president of
the United States.
II sent for you to inquire about that
play when Germany Schaefer went
back to first after stealing second the
other day." explained Sunny Jim."
and Parker drew big sigh of relief
1t was just like eating pie for Park
er to explain the play and he did so
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Sherman admitted the play bothered
him. more than any problem that had
come up In the extra sess.rp of con-
gress and that was going ss.me.

ASSESSMENTS MORE
STATE TAX COMMISSION RE-
PORTS BIG GAIN IN ALL
COUNTIES.
TOTAL VALUATION S2O6,OOO,OOo
Preliminary Returns Add About Ten
Million boilers to Personal Prop
erty Assessment Throughout
the State.

st. Paul.-An increase of about ten
millions in the assessed valuation of
personal property in the state, exclu-
sive of moneys and credits, will be
| effected, according to preliminary re-
port issued by the state tax commits
sion. The complete figures cannot be
given, as the reassessment ordered by
the commission on the personal prop
erty in South ST. Paul has not been
completed With this single exception
returns from every assessment district
in the state have been equalized by the
commission.
The total valuation will .hs in the
neighborhood of $2O6,000,000. The to-
tai Tor 1910, excluding moneys and
credits, which henceforth will be as
sessed separately, was $196,117,4 ALB.
Members of the commission give as
surance that the total for the missing
city of South ST. Paul will be fully
as high as the last year, which was 81,
O36,412. Leaving South st. Paul out
of the computation, it is found that
the total valuation is $2O4,S1O,OO9, as
compared with $195,0S1,0 61. This
shows an increase of $9,729,948.
The counties of Hennepin, Ramsey
and st. Louis produced $7,021 ,461, or
approximately 70 per cent. OF the re-
naming eighty-three counties twenty
made returns lower than the valuation
of year ago. The equalization did
not raise the totals above last years
figures, and these twenty counties
show decreases in personal property
assessments. The counties in this
list are Chisago, Dodge, Houston, Ohm
sted, Otter Tail, Pennington, Pine,
Polk, Pope, Redwood, Scott, Traverse.
Watonwan, Wilkin and Winona.
j. G. Armstrong, a member of the
commission, gives ase-one of the ex-
plantations for the decreases the losses
entailed in the agricultural sections by
the drouth. Scarcity of pasture, he
says, compelled the farmers to dispose
of more of their livestock than they
ordinarily would have done, and as a
consequence there is less livestock on
the books than there was year ago.
Summary by Counties.
Following is summary by counties
of the valuation of personal property
