TAXATION FIGURES.
Secretary of State Shows Increases for
Shawnee County.

Charles Sessions, secretary of state,
today sent to each of the 105 county
clerks in Kansas a report just compiled
by the state tax commission, showing
comparative conditions of. state and To-
cal taxation. Sessions gives only the
cold, bare figures and leaves comment
for the general public. In his letters,
each county is handled individually.
The Shawnee letter says:
"An analysis of the statement pro-
cured from the Commission shows the
following facts:
THE total increase in the state taxa
ton to meet all the appropriations of
the legislature for the eight year per-
iod-including the cost of the executive,
judicial and legislative departments,
the educational charitable and penal
institutions, new public buildings and
sites, judges of district courts, and all
other purposes-was $815,523. And the
total increase of local taxation-incIud-
ing the cost of city, county and town
ship government, and the cost of edu-
cation in cities and school districts
was $1O,O5s, 054.00.
'Segregating the expenses by coun-
ties the Tax Commission finds that IN
Shawnee county, the increased tax col
lections for state purposes was $97S. %;
and for local urposes-including the
expenses of city, county, township anu
school district purposes, the increased
tax collection was $411, 839. IA"

WEIGH HELPED AID
Pictures Show Referee Hauling
Victor to His Feet.
No Foul ShOwn-WeIch Mo-
tiOns Only 8 Counts.

Los Angeles, July S.-Showing prac-
tically every blow struck in the Ven
non arena on July foruth, the moving
pictures of the Wolgast-Rivers fight
were given their first presentation to-
day at a private display in the studio
of the Bison Moving Picture company
at Glendale.
The important questions raised by the
unsatisfactory conclusion of the fight,
in the minds of the fight enthusiasts,
are to a certain extent satisfied by the
pictures.
If Wolgast fouIed Rivers at the finish,
the films fail to record it. In the thir-
teenth round the pictures show the men
fighting head to head near the ropes.
Suddenly 'Wolgast's arms begin work.
ing like mad at the infghting. Four
clearly shown. First right and then
left to the body and then repeat with
lightning rapidity.
The pictures show Rivers sagging
backward, one foot stretched forward
and as the champion lunges his foot
settling back to the canvas. Wolgast
stumbles forward over this foot as Riv-
ers finally stretches out and the cham
pion falls over the appraised knee of
the man below him.
Referee Welch drags wolgast off the
PROSTATE body of Rivers. Wolgast is
apparently suffering great pain and is
very weak. The referees hand is seen
to rise and fall eight times in count
ing Rivers out.
F. ]. Balschofer, vice president of
the Biscon company, developed an in
teresting fact in connection with the
pictures and the fight today.
Scientific mechanical arrangement
cannot Iie," said Balshofer. THE ma
chimes were taking pictures at the rate
of one foot of film per second. This
fact cannot be disputed. The pictures
by actual measurement of the film,
shows Rivers on the floor for IL feet of
film, showing that he was down for II
seconds by actual count, whether the
referee counted that number or not

BANK no OCCUPY SIDEWALK.
City Council Grants Bank Permission
To Extend Building Over Side
walk.

Al a special meeting of council
held Monday afternoon for the pur-
pose of hearing a request Of the off,
cials OF the Bank OF Sumter for the
use of space on the sidewalk for their
new building. 1t was decided to
grant the request made by the off,
cials Of the bank and the new build
ing or parts of 1t, will extend as much
as six or seven inches over what was
formerly the sidewalk.
AS the matter stands so far as
the reporter of the Item could learn
this morning. the request Of the bank
for space to extend the base Of plas-
ters over the sidewalk for about three
inches was first made at council
meeting a week ago. At the time
the petition was deferred until Wed
nesday when the members of coun-
Gil after investigation. decided to
grant the request. Alderman Wright
voting against granting it.
Later 1t was found by the contrac-
tor that even more space was neces-
sary and second special meeting Of
council was called to hear the request.
As the matter Is understood the re-
quest was made for permission to
have the building extended practi-
cally three inches over the sidewalk
and then the base of the pilasters
would extend about three further
than the base OF the building. thus
In all encroaching on the sidewalk
about six or seven inches. This wac
granted for Main street and it is un-
derstood that the building will OK
tend the same amount over the side
walk on Liberty street
Aldermen Wright and Glenn voted
against granting the petition.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY.
Walsh's Directory of Sumter Distrib.
uted.

From the Daily Item, June 10.
Walsh's Directory Of Sumter, Vol
ume Nv, 1912, was distributed to
subscribers yesterday AS were the
directories for previous years this
volume is neatly printed in large type
on good paper and is substantially
bound. The compilation of the di-
rectory was carefully done by ex-
perienced directory men and is as
complete and accurate as book
Of the kind can be made. 1t will be
found useful by business men and
others who may want to find out
who lives in Sumter and where they
live. In addition to the list Of
names. whites and negroes being
listed separately, considerable other
information Of value is incorporated
IN another chapter. The list Of names
contains approximately 2.735 whites
and 2,lO7 negroes. AS only heads Of
ohu iiSO are
listed. it is not possible to make an
accurate estimate Of the total popu.
lation Of the city from the directory.
If it is figured that each head Of d
family stands for three persons -
himself, his wife and one child-the
white population of Sumter is L.
2O5 and the negro population 6,321-
a total of 1885. But this method
of figuring population is an uncer-
tain thing. and the writer is not
committing himself to any figures.
The only thing he is willing to assert
as a fact is that the census takers
two years ago said they found only
S.1O9 people in Sumter. They were
supposed to be stating a bed rock
fact, but many Of us never believed
it, for all Sumter people believe that
there are more Of us than S,1O9. We
know Sumter is the biggest 5000
town in the country.
