FRANK c. ALLEN IS IN
 ASSESSORS OFFICE

Special effort is being made by the assessors this year to get in the busi- ness tax lists and instead of hiring one assistant for this work as has been the custom in the past, addi- tionaI help has been hired. John P. Pinkerman has been engaged during the last several years for this special work. This year Frank c. Allen, who was formerly a member of the Board of Assessors, has been put to work this year.
 Frank J. Hughes, president of the board was asked today if there was sufficient appropriation on hand to hire such additional help as was needed for the work and replied that his board was allowed $500 a year for extra help.
 This isn't enough considering the work that has to be done,'' said he. Ut is a question of doing the work and overdrawing that appropriation or letting much important work go for the lack of help and money We shall go as far as our appropriation will allow and then it will remain for the board to decide whether to discontinue the work or go ahead with it and run in debt. It is i'm portant that these tax lists be secured and there is other work which re- quires additional help and expense

 STATE CONVENTION .AT SYRACUSE, N. Y.

Syracuse, Sept, 4.-'tThe news from Vermont" eclipsed everything else in the view of $500 delegates and alter mates arriving here, today. for the first state convention of the progress sive party. The result was mum erous additions to the field of aspirants for nominations.
 The leaders insisted that the out come in Vermont would be far ex- ceeded in this state in November. State Chairman William H. Hotchkiss said that with the organization now being perfected, the progressives would win over the Democrats and epublic2nS.
 In no way deterred by Ohio's re- jection of woman's suffrage, the
 gentler sex delegates were perfect ing plans, today, to force an enabling next legislature.
 The progressives' platform will flat ly declare for suffrage. In addition, the various woman's suffrage organ izations plan, to line LID every Iegis- lative candidate either for or against suffrage and fight those who will not aid their fight, the progressive lead CTS declared, today.
 The question of a state ticket was under general discussion. There was general desire expressed to leave to the convention the question Of de- ciding who the various candidates
 The -'Moosettes,' entered into the spirit of the occasion with great en- thuSlaSm and DuttOnhO1ed fellow dele gates in the interests of their favorite candidates with a vigor that was both novel and refreshing. The display of millinery in the lobby Of the hotel has been equa1led only in the conven- tions of the D. A. R., or such womens 8 organizations and the old campaigners openly expressed their admiration of the speedy manner in which the won- got onto the ropes.
 The women delegates were young for the most part and generally pre- possessing and they were able to get an audience with any of the mere man delegates at any time. It was also certain that the women would cut distinct figure in all, of the pro- ceedings.
 The rough draft of the platform which was given out, last night, con tafned resr1y five thousand words and when the committee resumed it's ses- sions, today, to try and cut it in half, there were more women than men in attendance. The women were very free with their suggestions and the proceeGn gs were decidedly interest Tng.

NOT POLYGAMY
 BUT NEAR IT

Berlin, Sept. 4.-Not polygamy but a rapid succession of wives,' was what the Mittgar Society meant by the resolution it adopted at its recent convention at Jena, according to a statement. issued by the executive committee, today.
 The Mittgar Society does not be- lieve that man should live in mar riage relations with several women at one time,' says the committees ex- p1anation. "A man must be strictly faithful to his one wife until the birth of a child, when a separation may be granted, the man marrying another woman and the woman taking a1r- other husband.
 This may be repeated as long as the man and woman are fit for the biological purpose for which, in our opinion, marriage was created. It only differs from the present concep- ton of marriage in the ease with which divorces or separations may be secured and a succession of marriage permitted. We believe it makes for the betterment of the race.''
