1000 INVITATIONS
TO PRESIDENT
SILVER WEDDING
Biggest Social Function Ever
Held at White House
MISS TAFT WILL RECEIVE
Everyone In Washington Social Life
and Entertainers Of the Presl-
dent to Be Present

Washington, June 13-The recep-
ton which the President and Mrs.
Taft will give on June 10, the twenty
fifth anniversary of their marriage,
probably will be the most largely at
tended function ever given in the
White House. More than 5000 inyi-
tations have been sent out, and each
day the President is suggesting more
names. The lowest estimate Is that
1000 persons will be invited.
The New Years receptions have
brought many more thousands than
that TO the White House, but they
have not been invitation affairs and
the crowd has merely shaken hands
and departed. At the silver wedding
celebration refreshments will be serv-
ed, there will be dancing in the East
Room and an overflow" garden party
in the White House grounds.
The guest list will include friends
and acquaintances OF the President
and Mrs. Taft from all parts of the
country. Nearly everybody in official
life in Washington has been invited,
and invitations have been sent to per
sons who have entertained the Presi-
dent on his trips throughout the
country, TO members Of the Republi-
can National Committee, TO the Off
cial Notification Committee which In
formed the President of his nomina-
ton, to prominent clergymen of all
denominations, and to some well
known editors.
The reception will begin at o.
clock and last for several hours.
Mrs Taft will not be present. for the
physicians still wish her to avoid eX-
element, Miss Helen Taft will stand
by her fathers side to receive the
guests All the members OF the fami-
ly of the President and of Mrs Taft
who was Miss Helen Heron of Gin
cinnati. will be house guests during
the celebration. Aunt Della" Torrey
of Milbury, Mass, viii be among the
specially honored ones,
This will be the third silver we'd
ding celebration of a President of the
United States and his wife. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant celebrated their
twenty-hfth anniversary on Aug. %,

CYCLONE LEAVES
TRAIL OF DEATH
AND RUIN
Terrific Storm Visits Lower End
Of Virginia Peninsula
AT LEAST IS LIVES LOST
Wreeklng Of Electric Wires Shuts
Down Lighting Systems In
Several Cities !

Newport News, Va, June 13.--
Sweeping out of the southwest with
cyclonic velocity, a wind, rain, hail
and electrical storm struck the lower
end of the Virginia peninsula late yes
terday and left a trail of ceath and
ruin. 1t Is difficult even to estimate
the number of dead, for many small
craft went down in the storm at var
ious points along the James river and
in Hampton roads. Conservative es-
Inmates placed the dead at not more
than Is.
None of the bodies has been recov-
cred and nothing here is known of
the identity of the missing people as
most of them were fishermen from
distant counties along the James
Great havoc was wrought in this city,
houses being uprooted and trees,
wires and telegraph poles being
blown down.
Half a dozen vessels moored at
piers here broke away and nearly all
were damaged.
Rough estimates placed the proper
ty loss and damage at upwards OF
100000
So many live wires fell in the city
that it was necessary to cut of all
electric current and the entire penin-
sula, including Newport News, Hamp-
ton and Phoebus, was in total dark
ness last night.

TAX LISTS FILED
MAKE BUT POOR
SHOWING
Grand List Increase is Less
Than Two Thousand
lNCLUDINGQU GAIN
Growth Made in Bennington Is Much
Less in Proportion Than
other Vermont Towns

According to the findings OF Town
Listers ii. b. Hutchins, Edmond La
Franchise and +. +. lockwood filed
with the town clerk Monday, Ben
nington's real~estate and personal
property gain for the last year has
been approximately $4,000 The
report of the listers further shows an
increase of ~ in the number of poll
tax payers.
The real estate increased in value
to the extent of about $4,000, while
the value of the personal estate is
reckoned at $4,000. In view of the
fact that this is the year when the re-
suits OF the quadrennial appraisal,
made last summer, first show up in
the list the showing is very disap-
pointing. They show a growth, it is
true, but nothing in comparison with
the other OF the larger towns in the
state. Even many of the smaller
towns and. particularly Manchester
in this county, have done much bet
tier.
Because of new laws granting the
soldiers $500 worth of property ex-
empt from taxation and exempting
from taxation all deposits in savings
banks, where the limit had formerly
been $4,000, it is estimated that the
town has through these channels, lost
about $4,000 of taxable assets.
The apparently unusually large
increase in the number of polls is at
tributed also to a new law, which was
passed at the last session, and which
was first applied to the present list
ing In order to place a name on
the list of polls, this new law requires
only that the listers know that the
person Is resident of this town and
is of the proper age. The new law
greatly lessons the work of the lis
ters in ascertaining the names of
those entitled to vote Heretofore
the listers were required to obtain
the signature of the person This
caused considerable effort, as not a
few would endeayor to evade the lis
ters and thus escape the poll tax. Be
cause Of the new law, the listers
need only TO visit the Office of a con-
Germ and there obtain the names and
the ages of the employees and their
place OF residence.
The total grand list for this year
is $53,495.17. Last year the grand
list was 1,74iS7 The total amount
of personal property taxed this year
is Sll00,734. Last year the amount
was Sl,066.091. The total number OF
polls this year is 2090, while last year

COUNTY COURT
Jury Secured for Trial Of Hit VS..
Wise Case.

A jury was secured Monday and a
beginning was made in the case Of
Mary p. Hit VS.. Lyman B. Wise ct al
This is the Rupert trespass case in
yolying the title to certain lands in
that town upon which the defendant
was conducting numbering operations
at the time the suit was brought.
Five of the men working for the de-
PENDANT were arrested and were for a
number of weeks imprisoned in the
county jail here.
Nearly the entire day was taken up
in the reading OF deeds to show title.
Once during the proceedings one Of
the attorneys learned that there was
gap" in his combination of titles
and an automobile was sent over the
mountain to Rupert for necessary
document.
The jury consists of Gilbert b. Burt
Bennington; Henry AmadonI Ben
nington; u. r. Bouplon, North Ben
nlngton; Jesse King, Sandgate; Her
bert Johnson, South Londonderry;
Robert Rudd, North Pownal; II. A.
Niles, North Bennington; John M.
Gordon, South Salisbury; Peter
Longtin, Bennington; Edward Bush
nell, Bennington; II. A. Leisure, Reads
boro; Spencer White, Weston.
The case is about the title of a GO
acre lot of wood land on Rupert
mountain and records are being
shown from 1888 to the present time.
The trouble arose when the defen-
dant in the case sent four men to the
lot on Rupert mountain to cut the
wood on the lot Mr. Wise had made
a contract in which he was to furnish
1,0O0,0 900 feet of lumber a year. He
had also made arrangements with a
man who had equipped saw mill
there and had arranged FOR getting
the lumber drawn.
The right to cut the lumber was
disputed and warrants were served
for the arrest of the four men and
Mr. Wise. The five men were taken
to Bennington county Jail and We're
put under $4,000 bail each.
1t is expected that this case will
take up the rest of the week and the
jurors who were not drawn were ex-
cused until next Monday afternoon at
2 o'clock.
Chase and Daley are attorneys for
the plaintiff and f. c. Archibald as
sisted by Robert Healey are attor-
neys for the defendant.
