EQUALIZATION BOARD.
TAKES RECESS
The Oklahoma County Report is
Still Before the State Tax
EquaIizers.

Oklahoma City, July 20. A tele-
gram announcing the death at Los
Angeles of State Examiner and In
spector Charles A. Taylor, brought a
sudden termination to the proceed
ings before the state board of equalia-
tion Friday morning
The Oklahoma county report was
still up for discussion when the tele-
gram announcing Inspector Taylors
death was delivered to Governor
Cruce. An Immediate adjournment
was taken until next Tuesday morning,
when the board will begin the work of
equalizing by counties.
The Oklahoma county report was
left in the manner in which it was
dropped at the close of the hearing
Thursday evening. One or two wit
nesses remained to give their esti-
mates on the values of Oklahoma coun-
ty farm lands. e. c. Thorn of Thorn
brothers, dealers in farm mortgages,
gave it as his opinion that the aver
age value of farm lands in Oklahoma
county is 500 per acre. Land in the
east part of the county, he classified
as not desirable land for agricultural
purposes while the land in the west
apd southwest parts of the county are
valuable for such purposes.
In answer to rumors that the state
board would lift valuations in Okla
homa, Muskogee and Tulsa counties
! fifty per cent, one member of the
board stated that such rumors were
based upon nothing in particular ex-
cept prejudice. No members of the
board. he said, knew what raises or
decreases would be ordered and none
would know until the reports have
been gore over.
It is believed however, that no such
raises will be made for all classes Of
property Land values may be raised
in several counties but it is believed
that the average valuation as shown
in the assessors reports will be taken
as fair valuation.

Every morning as he set forth to
work a young man in Washington
passed a clean, pleasant-faced, black
mustached man, followed by a jovial
looking dog
The two met so regularly that they
got to nodding to each other, neither
with the remotest idea who the other
was. From nodding they passed to the
good morning" stage, and one day the
younger man paused to pat the other
mans dog They fell to discussing
different brands of dogs, and the black
mustached man said he regretted that
such small yards prevail in Washing
ton, as he was used to having several
dogs around. Evidently he hadn't lived
in Washington long.
You're in the government service?"

JIK MI[E hUHU
GOES TO WALL
ReeeIvershlp is Named For cassville
& Southern at vlve Presidents
Request

Joplin, Mo. July 19--Subsequent to
the filing in the federal court here OF
suit in equity against the Cassyille
& Southern Railway company and the
Mercantile Trust company Of st,
Louis, Judge Arba S. Van Valken-
burgh has appointed c. NJ sebfee re-
.ceiver for the railroad.
The Cassvllle & Southern has been
In operation for several years between
Eneter and Cassyille. 1t is about six
miles long. 1t was a steam road until
recently, when it was electrified.
Official Files Action.
o. H. Ohrendorff of Eureka Springs,
Ark, vice president of the road
brought the suit. He alleges that the
railway company on June 1, 1911, ex-
ecuted mortgage bonds in the sum of
100000. payable at the Office of the
Mercantile Trust company in st Louis
and TO secure the bonds executed a
deed Of trust to the trust company for
the line and rolling stock.
At the time of the issuance Of the
bonds, Ohrendorff alleges, the road
was indebted in the sum of about $32,-
900. Also, he says, it was necessary
TO expend about $4,000 for power
house and an electric car. To get the
money, he continues. the road June 20,
1911, executed promlssory notes aggre-
eating $4,000, due one year after
date, and to secure the notes, bonds
of the company were placed as eollat
eral
The road was indebted to him Sl0,-
900 June 30, 1911, Ohrendorff says, for
which he holds note and also twenty
$500 bonds for security.
Ohrendorff says the entire indebted
ness of the railway, including unpaid
interest, does not exceed $4,000. but
that there was pledged as collateral
TO secure the indebtedness more than
100000 bonds.
lie declares the company is unable
20 meet its Indebtedness now past
due, and redeem its bonds, and if the
holders of notes foreclose on bonds
held as collateral the indebtedness
win be increased $4,000 without he
or any other creditor who only holds
bonds TO the face of his note receiving
any benefit
The complaint says the property is
worth $4,000 or more, and If 1t is dis
posed of at fair price enough will be
realized to pay him and other credi-
tors in full.

DECORATIVE POSSIBILITIES ARE.
MANY AND VARIED.
ideas From the japanese Worth Con-
alteration = IS Substitute for
Ordinary Door a Perfect Color
Scheme May BE Devised.

As a decorative adjunct TO the IN.
terror the Japanese have always been
credited with recognizing and ayaillng
themselves OF the screen when plan
ming the furnishing of a house. And
from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be In a decorative scheme.
by screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual fourfold arrangement.
but II Is also meant to convey the
finely carved and artisticalIy designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one find sometimes used instead OF
doors. But such screen must be in
the right place. and decorators have
long since realized how fine an effect
can be produced by the right kind of
screen in the right place.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value. and in modern
houses the screen is, to a certain ex-
tent, replacing the old-fashioned door.
That is to say, in house boasting Of
fiye rooms, and not in suburban villa
residence. BY the substitution of the
screen for the ordinary door a house
of vistas is the result Long rooms
leading one from the other the decora-
tion of each so arranged that the color
scheme and furnishing seem to blend
artistically to form a perfect whole.
And that is where the decorator tri-
umphs
Today the four leaf screen has per.
haps reached a eliminating point in
artistic conception, and In the exquis-
lite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau
tiful examples which are made here.
For instance. for Louis XIV. draw.
Ing room nothing could be more In har-
mon with the period than q screen in
tapestry.
The latest Japanese screens are the
work of artists who understand and
appreciate the blending of the most
delicate and the most crude colors,
and tha result is masterpiece of
needlework.

Tn0ltET ~ DES IhOIED
Various Processes Were Tried on
Bank Notes by the German Inn
periaI Printers


As the great difficulty which most
people meet with in regard to bank
notes is that Of being able to keep
them, it will probably come as a sur
prise to many to learn there are yet
others for whom the difficulty is how
to get rid OF them. The difficulties en-
tailed in destroying such paper are
well illustrated in a very interesting
article upon paper destruction by the
German imperial printers, the Kansas
City Journal says.
The methods previously available
were three-burning. boiling and pulp
ing In the first process it has been
found that even where a special fur
mace has been used it has not infre-
quently happened that while the outer
parts OF packets were destroyed some
OF the contents were not even singed.
In the case Of stamped or gummed pa
per the matter was still worse, for the
packets baked together into solid
blocks, the interiors of which were
quite intact
In the second process the paper for
destruction is placed in iron boilers;
lye is added and the contents then sub
1ected to the prolonged action OF
steam. AS a destructive process for
small quantities this is quite effectual,
as is also that of pulping, a process
in which the paper is cut up by revolv-
Ing knives in water.
In both of these cases there is. how.
ever, another dificulty-that of dispos-
Ing of the product It cannot easily
be sold, it will not pay to transport
and on hand the sodden, stodgy mass
quickly goes bad.
The German imperial printers there
fore decided to try a new way-grind-
ing 1t up dry. To this end they in
stalled forty horse power mill. which
by process OF hurting, crushing and
tearing reduces the paper TO an almost
powderlike form, In which it passes
through sieve into a collecting cham
Der beneath the mill ready for pack
ing.
This, however, was accompanied by
= '~AS ODySSIiOudUlo feature, especially
when dealing with gummed paper in
the grinding Such a dust was created
that though the workmen engaged
wore protectors, 1t yet rersistently
filed and blocked their eyes and nos
trils.
AS the work of packing was on this
account not only unhealthy, unwilling
ly performed and also uneconomical.
efforts were made to find some me
chanical means Of doing it. Difficulty
after difficulty arose,
Among such may be mentioned that
spiral feeder having been devised it
was found that the paper would some
times form into balls solid as blocks
of wood, which defied the efforts 10
move them by the 20 horse power mo-
tor.
The imperial printers, therefore, are
now to be congratulated upon possess
ing a machine perfect in ito kind. It
takes the paper, grinds it up to any
size desired and bags it.
Finally, though, the paper in this
form fetches but little on account of
its consequent shortness Of fiber, the
mill is. yet not only paying off the in
itial outlay, but is also saving some
$3.50 year in workmen's wages.

STATE cONsIABulARY2

The question Of state police is be-
ing raised again. It will be remembered
that Rankin's state marshals bill which
found much petitionary support over
Iowa following Rankin's different cam
paigns contemplated a state consta bu :
larry mainly intended to operate in en-
forcement OF the liquor laws. 1t con-
templated q force Of state police off,

cute violators OF the liquor laws under

very generally opposed by the news

Now there is suggestion of state
Solice which shall have full police pow

at villisca and the apparent incapacity
Of the local police authorities to deal
with It Is mainly responsible for the
suggestion. The argument is that q
state constabulary would be able tt
concentrate expert detectives and {

LANE ADAMS N The CONVENTION.

An extremely notable and prophetic
incident in the convention of the new
party is the seconding Of the nomina-
ton Of Theodore Roosevelt by Jane
Adams, of Hull House. There Is no
occasion to locate Hull House or to
explain who and what Jane Addams
is. She and her settlement house are
known and understood and approved
around the world.

likely that politically appointed detec-
tives would class higher than the de-
tectives who work for pay and for Of
fered rewards. The rewards offered In
the Villisca case are large enough to
interest detectives quite as expert az
any likely to be employed on state
constabulary. And these detectives
seem to be as much at sea as the local
officers Of Montgomery county. There
are some things to be said in favor
Of state police force; there are as
many and quite as strong objections to
such q force. 1t Is scarcely safe to
assume that the establishment Of a
state constabulary would exterminate
crime in any state which adopts the
system. At any rate the. record does
not show as much.
