Truant Wives Return.

A reconciliation was effected In the
Office of Chief Of Police Goods this morn
ing, after the police court had adjourned,
when the chief brought together two
colored women named Mabel Thay and
Martha Solomon, who eloped from near
Charlottesville, Va, with Gus Turner and
I. c. Nicholas, also Of that place.
This was effected following the arraign-
ment Of the men and women on charge
of adul .ery. The men were fined $40 eacn,
which they paid. The two husbands OF
the deserving wives told Of how good
they had been. to their helpmates, and the
women were renanded.
The women were told by the chief, aft
erward, that they could either return with
their husbands or lake long Jail sentence.
1t took only few minutes to decide, and
the truant wives and husbands kissed and
made up, and shortly afterward were
speeding on th0fr way to Charlottesville
Come seben, come leben," was what
Policemen Talbot and Rowland heard
when passing below Odd Fellows Hall, on
South Columbus street, yesterday after
noon. Looking, they saw pair OF
bones being rolled and a dollar on the
ground. The negroes grasped the dice
and money and scampered. The sequel
was that Thomas Jones, Marshall Harris
Ernest Brown and James Brown, all col
ored, were arraigned in the police oour,
today, and fined 81 each on the charge OF
SamDling.

Recommending annual instead of tri-
ennial assessments of real estate in the
District, Assessor William p. Richards
today submitted to the Commissioners a
report which is expected to serve as the
basis of legislation dealing with assess
ment matters to be proposed to Congress
at the coming session.
Assessor Richards recommends that the
changes suggested in the report be en-
bodied In q bill to be presented to Con-
gress The District Commissioners are
understood to favor the annual assessment
plan and 1t is more than likely that Mr..
Richards will be authorized to prepare
the bill.
Changes Suggested.
Abolition Of the board Of equalization
and review of real estate assessments
and the board Of personal tax appeals. as
now constituted, and the establishment
of board Of appeals, consisting of the
assessor. two of his Office assistants and
two citizens of the District, are among
the changes urged in the report.
The assessor suggests other improve
ments could be made with respect to the
field work Of the Office, the sending out
OF notices, preparation of the assessment
roll publicity and sale of property in ar
reafs. The report covers sixteen type
written pages. and, besides setting forth
Mr.. Richards observations of assessment
methods In other cities, deals at length
with his recommendations for reforms in
the local system.
The need Of q yearly assessment in the
District Is apparent, declares the assessor,
for II tax Is levied annually 1t should
be collected annually. unless 1t can be
shown that values undergo no change
within a year.
THE conduct of any tax Office can bet
ter be regulated where yearly system
is required, and, If a city having an as
sessment roll Of eight billion dollars per
aflnum can make its yearly assessment a
success, there can be no excuse for its
failure here"

New Board Of Tax Appeals.

With reference to his recommendation
concerning the establishment Of . new
board Of tax appeals, Assessor Richards
states that the Ave assistant assessors
should be retained under same conditions
as to tenure of Office as now.
But, after their initial assessments have
been completed, he asserts, the three real
estate assessors should be allowed to or
ganize as a board OF review on real estate
months for the purpose of hearing any
complaints and revising their assessments.
They should give notice Of their action
to any persons who have complained OF
their assessments, SO that the taxpayers
may have opportunity. in case of dissatis-
faction. to carry their complaint to the
board Of appeals.
The two personal tax assessors should
during the same period, according to the
assessor. sit as board Of review on per-
onal tax matters and should give notice
only in such cases where they decline
to reduce the Assessment appealed from.
The initial assessment Of both real es-
tate and personal property should be
completed by the first Monday in March,
and the boards OF review can hear OBJ
jections from that date until the last
Monday in April, Mr.. Richards suggests.
From the last Monday In April to the first
Monday in May. he points out. will be
sufficient period in which to file ap-
Ieals for final action. The board of APP
peals, it is stated. should be required to
finish its labors by the Goth Of June.
Six More inspectors Wanted.
With respect to his recommendations
concerning the field work. Mr.. Richards
says that If the present appraiser and
three inspectors now engaged on the per-
sonal property work could be increased
by the addition of six inspectors the Dis
trict could be divided into ten sections.
and these inspectors could perform a
double duty by working on both personal
property and real estate matters The
five assistant assessors now authorized,
two for personal tax work and three for
real estate assessing, would be able to
carry on the initial work with the help Of
these additional inspectors, it is pointed
out.
Concerning the sending out Of notices,
the assessor states that notices OF
changes will be sent out each year, just
before the period Of Appeals. Notice will
be construed as legally given IL addressed
to the person in whose name the property
is assessed and mailed to the last known
address.

ALLEN s M INTYRE
 ARE DISSOLVED
of Selling Eyerglade Lands Is Greatly En-
 Iarged and Extended

As will be observed by a notice pub lished elsewhere in these columns, the firm of Allen & Mcintyre, which has been doing considerable business in the selling of Everglade lands of Flor ida, has been dissolved, and R. E. Nc Intyre will leave after few weeks vacation for Fl Paso, where he will open headquarters for the New Mex leo and Texas field in the handling of the lands of the Eyerglade Land Sales company. Mr l.. R. Allen will remain in charge of the Arizona-California-S nora territory as general agent. Mir. O. ID. Walker, for several years connected with Coehise county court in an offi- cial capacity, will have charge of the local Bisbee- agency and Mir. Newton Trenham, who has sold a large mum Der of Everplade farms in Douglas, will continue to occupy that field as agent
 MT. Allen is arranging to place az encies in other cities in his territory, but will maintain headquarters in Bis bee.
 Messrs. Allen & Mcintyre. during their partnership association, have sold a good deal of Everglade land 10 upwards of 150 buyers in the terri tory, and the merit of the proposition they have been selling has been at- tested by eight or ten Bisbee. Douglas and Cochise county men. who as repre- sentatiyes of clubs of buyers and as individual investigators. have visited the Everglades lands sold and without exception all pronounce the proposi- ton better than represented, and that section one full of wonderful possi- bilities. Among those who have visited Miami and the Everglades as club rep- resentatives and as individuals are the following: l. T. Hams, owner of the Tombstone telephone system; B. ] Taylor. merchant at Gieeson; c. A Rubison of Douglas; J. ". Wood. prop erty owner of Douglas and Bisbee; c. W. Allen of the Standard Furniture ! O.. Bisbee; Win. Taylor of the June ' ton mine: R. Bowser, conductor E. P. & S. w, of Douglas; ]. B. Norcross machinist at the Copper Queen. all oi whom endorse the proposition as one of unusual merit and all of whom are purchasers.

MAZE CASHIER HAS
 CHANCE ID RECOVER
COckroach Poison Caused Fire in Shed on Subway
 Street Saturday

The cause of the fire that gutted the store room of the Maze cafe and the stables adjoining it, Saturday night, was the ignition of a creosote-g -gaso- lene preparation that was being used in the store room to kill cock reaches.
 The cashier, Bert Beriutto. was in the store room operating the bug-kill- CT and after filling the place with the fumes of the preparation he struck a match. The flames Of the explosion that followed covered his body before he could retreat from the place and set fire to the inflammable building.
 The fire department was called to the scene of the fire three times be- fore Sunday morning. The first alarm was at 9:30 o'clock, the next at I2:30 and the third at o'clock Sunday morning, when the shed back of the store room caught fire from sparks that lodged under the corrugated iron roof. This fire was put cut before any damage was done.
 Beriutto was badly burned about the lower limbs and was taken to the Cal umet & Ariona hospital, where his burns are being treated. He is night cashier at the cafe. Dr. W D. Cohen said yesterday that he has an even chance of recovery.

BAND EXPLAINS ITS
 FAILURE ID PLAY
Regrets Deeply the MiSun- derStandfng Over the Sun
 day Night Concert

The Copper Queen band explains the unfortunate misunderstanding which resulted in the disappointment of many people who went to Vista Park Sunday evening, expecting to hear a concert by this band. The agreement was made early last week with Mir. Yoakum for a concert the following Sunday, but in the next few days the band lost several players, and the new leader, W. J. Knight of Butte, Mont, who arrived only last Thursday and had only two nights practice with the band, did not feel that jus tice could be done so soon as Sunday. A letter was addressed to Mir. Yoa- kum by the band Thursday explaining the situation, and it was taken fo- granted that the letter would be deliy- cred in time. But Mr. Yoalzum left for an outing in the mountains before the letter arrived, and did not receive 1t. This explains the whole thing, and the members of The band regret the misunderstanding more than nEy 0;h. CTS.

BRAVE LITTLE BOY
 RESCUED FROM TOLL

The most pathetic thing in the world is to rob children of their childhood, to impose upon them responsibilities and cares beyond their age. The char ity committee of the board of trade has just had the satisfaction of re- moving from the shoulders of a little V aif the cares of bread winning" and of giving hiin a place where he may, for the first time in his life, have tue actual necessities of life.
 The pathetic case of the little fel- low came uncer the direction Of the charity committee secretary, who i'm mediately sought a home for the boy Last week the search was rewarded. A good man was found who was willing to take the youngster in and feed and clothe him and there is rejoicing among the angels iR heaven.

ENOCH ARDEN WILL
 BE SHOWN AT ROYAL

The Royal Theater has secured the above named film, which will be shown tonight with a special lecture. The story is told in two parts or reels and will be shown complete, which is a decided advantage over the old GUS tom Of showing one reel and then be- ing forced to wait two or three weeks to see the finish Of the story.
 The production was staged by the Biograph company and much excellent work of this character has come from their studios previous to this. The story of Enoch Arden is so well known that no repetition seems necessary. The first film takes the audience up to the sbipwTeck when Enoch Arden and his two companions are cast upon a tropical island where they are forced to stay. it seems to this reviewer that the players have caught and reproduce the spirit of the poem as Tennyson wrote it, and surely no higher praise can be given it. So beautiful and truthful a picture of the seaside as this should be very popular indeed in inland towns and villages. The pic ture Of the beach at the time Of Enoch's departure is especially praisewoTthy Besides. such scenes as this, one feels that scenes showing merely a little group of wave-washed rocks are not effective enough-they have too little of the spirit of the sea The tragic yet beautiful story is well acted in this film and the children in it add much to it's charm
 Two other reels will he shown anf Alden's orchestra viii render a spe ciaI program to accompany the Encch Arden pictures.
