DECISION In THE ~
RIDLEY CASE
ATTORNEYS WILL TAKE STEPS
TO HAVE A FURTHER RE-
VIEW.

In the case of the city of Columbia
VS.. e. l.. Armstrong, administrator
! of the Ridley estate, Acting Recorder
NV. P. Erwin this morning rendered
/ his decision against the defense.
The case is for the collection of
back taxes on personal property to
the amount of $4,000 for each of
the years 1908, 1909, 1910, or ap ag-
gregate of $150,000. One point of
contention was the residence Of Mir.
Ridley the three years mentioned.
The defense commended that the prop
erty was assessable at the residence
of the agent or attorney Mr.. Arm,
strong having a power of attorney
it was contended that there is where
the assessment should have been
made. The city contended that the
owner of the property was assessa-
BILE and that his residence governed
the locality of the assessment.
The decision was entered against
the defense and without steps to pre-
vent distress warrants for the collec-
ton of the taxes viii issue.
Attorney Hatcher for the defense
said it was not the intention to rest
the case, but would take some steps
to have it reviewed, but could not say
just what the next step in the pro-
ceedings would be.

CONFERENCE OF
GOVERNORS ENDS
THOSE SCHEDULED TO DELIVER
ADDRESSES WERE UNABLE
To GET THERE.

SPRING LAKE, N. j., Sept 49,
The third annual governors confer
ence came tG an unexpected close
her today, after the conference had
waited two hours to hear Gov. Dix,
of New York, who was delayed in
reaching Spring Lake. Although the
program was to have extended
through tomorrow, illness and inabil-
ity to attend on the part of several
scheduled speakers led to the discov-
cry today that there would be no
matters claiming the attention of the
gathering longer.
Fifteen governors who met at the
afternoon session today held what
they termed an experience meeting.
Governor Shafroth, of Colorado, dis
cussed the prison law and other re-
forms in his state, and Governor Ten
er, of Pennsylvania, likewise told of
reform movement in his State.
Governors Stubs, of Kansas, Ves-
ey, Of South Dakota, and O'Neal, of
Alabama, made addresses outlining
reforms recently adopted by their re-
spective States.
Contrary to general expectations,
the conference voted down, in exec
utive session, a motion to appoint
William George Jordan, who has
served as secretary three years. per-
secretary. Instead, 1t was
decided to leave the selection Of a
secretary to the executive commit
tee.
Gov. Gilohrist, of Florida, an.
nounced tonight that the executive
committee had agreed to place fore
most on next years program 2 dis
2ussion OF the advisability Of having
4 uniform divorce law.

WORLDS BEST
CIR US COMING
FOREPAUGH AND SELLS BROS.
SHOWS ANNOUNCED FOR EAR.
LY APPEARANCE.

The great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers, circus will give two per-.
formances in Columbia on Wednes-
day, October 4. Added glory attaches
to this show because Of the splendid
impression it has made since its
opening early in April with its new
$3,200,OO0 equipment.
For more than fifty years this
great amusement enterprise has eX-
pressed to the minds of everybody
who cares for the circus amusement
the superlative degree of everything
that pertains to the show business.
It has moved steadily onward and
upward year by year. No other cir
Gus has ever advanced to within
sight of it. Though an American in
stitution, it is of the world and OF all
times. II is known in every country
on the earth. 1t is enjoyed by mil
lions upon millions of people of the
earth. Crowned heads, royalty, po-
tentates, the middle classes and the
peasantry of hundred kingdoms
have applauded it. It's magnitude
and brilliancy have never ceased to
be source of wonder.
After an absence of several sea-
sons it now comes, clothed in rev
splendors. In every particular it is
more attractive than ever before. It's
long trains, stretching out over one
mile of track, groan and creak under
the burden of worldwide wonders
that have been gathered from every
corner of tho earth. The menagerie
tent is the home of 7S0 wild beasts,
representing complete chain Of all
animal creation now extant. The
main tent Is the largest spread of
canvas ever lifted into the air 1t
is the most remarkable audience
room in the world, seating $4,000 per-
sons.
The organization of this year num-
bers 1000 people, of whom $50 are
the picked stars of Europe, Asia and
America In the stables are COO
horses. The show covers ten acres
Of ground. The parade in itself cost
$1,000 900. 1t is comprehensive
panorama of the whole worlds his
tory from the ancient days of Egyp-
tian pageantry up to the military
spectacles of modern times. 1t is a
worlds fair Of knowledge and diver
sified interest, a horse fair, a con-
gress of nations, garden of mythol-
ogy, a gallery of sculptury, a musical
convention, a congress Of myths and !
fairies and tremendous zoo, all roll
cd into one grand line three miles
long.
This is the great metropolitan cir
Gus which for many years has been
the pride and boast Of New York
City, where it makes it's home in the
Square Garden. 1t Is the
highest standard of excellence by
which all circus owners make their
comparisons.

EASY MARKS
FOR F0RGERS
NEW YORK COMPANIES TIE
STRING TO MANY OF THE
POLICIES.

New York has surely proved fer.
tile field for several clever forgers
who, within the last week, have been
able to get away with many thous.
ands OF dollars from local banks in
! a surprisingly easy fashion by means
OF forged certified checks, it being

! lie.
So serious has the situation be.
come that the National Surety Com
pany announced, through President
Joyce, yesterday, that it was 3hout
to amend it's policies, whereby it
will not be responsible for losses
sustained by banks under their for
gerry policies unless the person
whose name is used by the forger
has an account with the bank for
at least fifteen days preceding the
| forgery
This ruling was occasioned by
three fragrant cases. Each case
shows how easily funds can be OBJ
tanned from banks by means Of for
ged certified checks, and has forced
the security company to insist upon
more caution by bank employees.
In emphasizing the case Mr..
Joyce related yesterday how a dap
per stranger entered one of the most
important national banks in the
downtown district, and, without any
introduction, opened an account by
depositing forged certified check
on an Oregon bank, calling around
a few days later and receiving 3d.
$50 in cash.
The stranger introduced himself
to one of the bank officers as James
H. Mccain, of Hood River, Oregon.
Without any formality whatever an
account was opened for the stranger
by accepting for deposit check for
$500, drawn to the order of the
Butler Banking Company, of Hood
River, Oregon. The deposit was
cashiers check, purporting to have
been duly certified. This took place
last Thursday.
On Monday Mccain" appeared at
the bank and presented his check
for $3.50. Without delay he got the
cash and departed for good.
The forged certified check sent on
for collection reached it's destination
Tuesday. The Butler Banking Com
pany at once telegraphed that the
check and certification were forger-
les. The local bank thereupon noti-
fed the National Surety Company,
so as to reimburse itself through it's
forgery bond.
In two other cases, by means OF |
forged certified checks, the forger |
obtained $4,000 After having stolen
two blank checks from the check |
book of the New York Stock Ex-
change firm of Shearson, Hammill &
Co., of No. II Broadway, the forger

Mr.. Miller uses many little tricks Of his
craft for the purpose OF aecelerating the
action OF the drama; most OF them are
deftly applied. but none are beyond de-
lection. yet the whole is SO frankly melo-
dramatic that an occasional glimpse OF
the god in the machine is permissible and
not at oil offensive. one really fine bit
Of theatricism, however. Is the manner
adopted by the wronged husband to Sc
cure the guilty pair with no chance for
them TO escape. This situation Is admir-
ably worked up. The expedient OF leav-
ing the house with banging doors and the
like is patent enough. but the re-entry is
not so hackneyed. To re-enter the room,
bestow travelling bag. hat and coat where
they would escape notice, and then take a
position behind the door of the bed room
to wait. seems the most natural thing to
do and was done IL was what followed
that showed the mastery OF Miller over
the situation. and saved il from the com

coBcealment directly the couple had
emerged from the bed room. the husband
waited until by their conversation they
had irretrievably committed themselves

extremely clever In it's management, one
Of the best bits In the whole play.
.
We have had recently two very excel
lent examples OF new type OF drama,
the small cast" variety that has made
some progress toward popularity OF late.
IL for no other reason, the fact that the
actors In these dramas are expected by
sheer force OF ability TO hold the atten-
ton OF the audience during an entire
evening under conditions that are not
especially favorable, gives an interest
aside from the intrinsic merit OF the
