 One bunch of typewriter copy with the heading, Criticisms of the Assessors. lay before them and that may have had something to do with the smiles. After much questioning, Leslie Everts, one of the experts, took occasion to unofficially state
 s'I can't see that Mr. Meltzer made any reply to the criticism we made of his work, except to become per- sonal. We did not criticise him per- sonally: we criticised the charter manuscript itself. There may be something more coming along the same line" And he continued to smile
 Chairman John Taylor of the audit committee came in, accompanied by MT. Mackenzie who is in charge of the experts, during Mr. Whites ab- sence. MT. Taylor was asked if the committee desired to reply to MT Meltzer's statements ''Warm wealth CT. isn't it?'' he observed as he smil- ed.

They were aroused and in moment night watchman John Lynch. special policeman, attracted by the unexpected lights. was at the scene. Meanwhile the household of William J.

The police found the break in the hedge where the man had gotten away, but their search through the neighborhood dis closed no trace of the gentlemanly bur- glar.
 MT. Pettigrew is a retired broker. for several years. Mrs H. H. De- Loss of 137 Park Place is his daugh- ter.

 stOne might have thought him an Englishman, he was so precise in his speech" said he, today Yet he had the mannerisms of an American. He might have been a college man so 1 far as his conversation went"
 He said the burglar impressed him as being tall, we'll built, though not heavy. Tn the dull light he believ-i ed the man was clad in gray suit but he could not be sure. His features l were well masked.

 Washington, July 10.-Secretary Hilles inaugurated his new job, today by plunging into an> attempt to solve the problems of Taft and Roosevelt presidential electors. In an effort to determine whether it is best to oust the pro- Roosevelt electors already nominated or run Taft electors as in- dependents in certain states, Hilles held a series of conferences with mem bers of the national committee and national Republican leaders.
 The President participated in some of the discussions. The South Dakota, Kansas and Pennsylvania situations were gone over in detail.
 r John Hampton Moore, of Pennsylva- mia, told Hilles that, if separate tick cts be necessary to get Taft electors names on the official ballot there will be scarcely any hope of electing Re- publican congress
 Senator Gamble said that the South Dakota state delegation elected all Roosevelt men as Republican electors and that half of them now said they would vote for Roosevelt in the cleo toral college.
 E Tn this state. Hilles must petition to put Taft electors on the ballot.
