contracts with the French, Brit
ish and German governments and
fnancierS, and they were afraid
to increase the loan. They pro-
tested to the United States gov
eminent against Morgan's sug-
gestion of part of the pie.
Then did William Howard
Taft, president of these United
States, send a personal cablegram
to Prince Regent Chun which
forced the matter to an issue.
The railroad loan" was in
creased, Morgan was allowed to
make a loan, and further was Civ
en- permission to build a section
of the development Of China"
railroad, and to supply the mate
rails for the same.
This was a cute arrangement,
inasmuch as Morgan thus made
two profits. He made rake-ott
from the handling of the loan, and
he made a juicy profit by supply
ing the railroad construction ma
terials from the Morgan Steel
Trust.
While Taft, Knox and Willard
Straight were telling the Man
chu government where it got off
in the matter of borrowing mon
ey, President Taft personally ap-
pointed Charles R. Crane, of Chi
cago, minister to China.
Crane is a hopeful man of old
fashioned ideas, and little knowl-
edge as to who actually runs the
government of the United States.
He believes-or did believe then
that the United States stood
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-01-02

the fatal mistake of not keeping
these oldfashioned views to him
self. He made a number OF
speeches, the keynote of which
was that he hoped the powers
were prepared to allow China to
attend to its muttonS, and that
the powers would help the Chi
nese people to develop their own
country in their own way, and
he made special reference to the
railroad question.
Crane did not go to China. He
had reached San rancisco on his
way there, when he was recalled
by telegraph from the State De-
partment in the most humiliating
manner.
He was told that the admins
tration had changed its. mind
about making him minister to
China, and sent him to his home
in Chicago to think it over.
The man appointed in Cranes
place was William ]. Calhoun, di-
rector in the Harvester Trust,
former partner, of Max Pam, one =
of the organizers of the Steel
Trust, and corporation lawyer of
note.
What has'all this to do with 7.

government of the United States,

was kicked out to make room and

Reidfcrd last Wednesday for the same

The chief difference is in the va
luation of the land, which Reidford
estimated at SIS per square foot for
the entire site; Neely divides the
tract into two parts, setting a valua-
ton of $40 per square foot for that Of
the first class. containing the frontage
of Sc feet and extending back thirty
feet For the balance, or about 1895
square feet. Nicely sets an estimate of
IS per square foot

made by the owners to the assessor,
these ranging no higher than $4,000
since 1905, and reaching that figure
only once in that period of time. In
reply to the query of Attorney Olson,
representing the owners, Neely de-
clared he believed his estimate of the
lands value in December, 1910 Is a
fair one.
Asked concerning the Chambers
Drug Company site. on the corner of
Fort and King streets, the returned
valuation of which was $50 per square
foot in December, 1910, Nicely said he
believed the latter site was twice as
valuable at that time as the Once
Supply Company property.
He admitted that his division of the
Office Supply site into two classes of
land, for the purpose Of setting land
valuations, was arbitrary, and that
he had no reason for setting the depth
of the first-class portion at thirty feet
than custom in the tax Office.
The large variance in the figures Of
the tax Office officials and the ex-
perts gives an idea of the difficult pro-
blem which will confront the jury
when the case is finally submitted to
that body for final adjudication
