NEW YORK, Feb. Am involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed In

erwise known as Mrs, Leslie Carter. The
liabilities. 1t is alleged. amount TO $4,000
with assets OF $1,000. Preferred payments
made while insolvent TO other creditors
are alleged in the petition.
The institution OF the proceedings Is
the elimination OF continuous efforts on

force payment of their respective claims
by persistent legal proceedings since ii
was apparent that she had produced q
successful play.
While 1t is true that she Is not in pos
session of immediate funds. and while
the proceedings on that account would
ultimately absolye her from the payment
of any OF her liabilities. her attorneys
have been instructed by her to make a
proposal consistent with her income that
would operate to pay all OF her existing
creditors one hundred cents on the dol
lar.
She proposes, If all her creditors will
accept, 10 set aside substantial part of
her weekly income tc be turned over to
any one that the creditors will agree
upon, under an agreement 10 continue
the payments for every week she may
be employed until every lawful claim
against her shall have been fully paid.

sion that his sweetheart and the con-
federate officers have their headquar-
tiers. The lover hears the plans Of
the officers and tries to escape but
is discovered by his sweetheart and
held at the point Of gun. She finds
the map in his possession and de-
nounces him as a spy, he faints and,
touched by his weakness. she helps
him to escape. Peace brings the two
together. The second picture shows
how five dollar bill circulated, and
also how expensive matrimony and
divorce are after all. Little Bobby,
the mainstay of a poor family, who
did not fight when he was insulted
by rowdies, was called coward by
his sweetheart. Bobby showed his
real bravery when the thugs try to
hold him up for the money for his
poor grandfather and sister by knock
ing both Of them out and handing
them over to the police, proving to
his sweetheart that he was not such
a coward after all.

FOR
THE GATE CITY
EQUALIZATION BOARD OF STATE
GIVES REDUCTIONS - EMERY
ORIGINATES SYSTEM WHICH
BENEFITS THE POOR MAN-No
CORRECTIONS ARE MADE.

The taxes in Fargo this year will be
reduced.
According to State Auditor Bright
bill who was in the city yesterday the
state board or equalization has finish
ed its work and passed upon the mer-
its Of the levies In Fargo and Cass
county. The sheet Of the board for
the county will be turned over to Au-
ditor Leech in few days showing the
exact levy made by the state.
The state board in its meeting al
lowed Fargo to draw several de-
creases. The city was fortunate in
getting the drop instead OF the in
crease.
II. r. Emery, city assessor for Far
90. appeared before the state board Of
equalization giving an explanation of
the thorough manner in which he
made his assessments here. His work
was so well done that the board did
not make single correction In the
levy in this city.
Mr.. Emery is to be commended up-
on the origination OF system which
will give increased benefits to the
poor man. He arranged plan, which
was adopted that all homes In the
city and improvements to the extent
Of $1,000 or under should be decreased
10 per cent. This allows the owner
Of the small home to carry smaller
tax burden. The idea Is to make the
revenue bearing property take the
heavy part OF the tax and not burden
the small householder.
The plan Of the city assessor should
work out very successfully and he has
received a great deal OF praise for
the work that he has done In this d.
rection.
