Special to The Tribune
Ell PASO. Tex, Aug. 2s.-Eyery pos
sible effort is being made by Mormon Of
f1cers here 10 learn the details OF the
killing of Joshua Stevens, a Mormon
settler in the Pacheco colony OF Chi
huahua. Only the most meager informa-
tion has yet been received regarding the
killing. This was received by william
Martensen OF Juarez. who was tele-
graphed to late last night just before the
telegraph wire was cut near Cuzman- He
was asked to notify Stevens's brother,
David Stevens, who has a ranch eight
miles south Of Juarez. The message WAS
dated at Pearson and stated that Stevens
Was killed by an American. But Ii is
not known whether Stevens was killed
at his home ranch near Pacheco, a
Mormon colony. or at Pearson.
Prof. Guy c. Wilson. who Is in charge
of affairs here for the Mor1nons during
the absence Of Apostle A. w. IWns, is
making every effort to get the facts re-
garding the killing, in order that he may
communicate them to Salt Lake, but be-
cause the telegraph line Is down he was
unable to get anything from the colonies
at the time the Mormon headquarters Of
fee closed tonight Stevens remained in
Pacheoo when the other colonists left
prefer11ng to remain with his family
rather than TO subject them to the hard
ships OF trip and be forced to seek
employment in Ell Paso when he could
stay and attend to his ranch duties.
Every effort was made to have him
come out, but he refused 10 consider II
and remained at the ranch near Fa-

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s.-In a report
TO the war department General Stecver
raises the question whether the Ameri-
can Mormons who fed from Mexico dur

shall be permitted to return The war
department officials are inclined to be-
lieve that this Is a question which should
be settled by the Mexican government
and that the American border patrol
should allow the returning refugees to

lection IL they have no purpose to vfo-
late the neutrality laws by taking part

which coal lis mined, has to do with a
recent decision of the supreme court In
which 1t was held that coal not dis
lodged from the vein. even though a
part of the property of mine in opera
ton. should be assessed as part of the
real estate. and not as personal prop
erty as has been the case in the passs.
The assessment of corporate excess
has been one OF the important matters
before the board for long time. G. c.
Matson, chairman of the board. says 1t
Is the most important question now be-
fore county and township officers.
BY corporate excess. Mr.. Matson es
planned, is meant the real value OF
corporations property over the tang
ible property, including the capital
stock He explained that a concern
capitalized at $4,000. with tangible
valued at SIS. 900 might neve an actual
valuation OF $4,000 based on amount
of business done. The point made by
Mr.. Matson that the corporation should
be compelled to pay taxes on the actual
value, rather than the valuation rs
shown BY. the marketable worth OF
stock and other tangibles.
Especially Is the question OF corpo-
rate excess one Of Importance I'M Lake
county. it is pointed out BY way Of H.
lustration. 1t was said the expendi-
lures by corporations In that county
for improvements and building or
plants and the future development of
property, when taken with the valua-
ton attached through connection with
allied interests. would make the total
corporate property's actual value APP
proxirnateiy s2o0,ooo,ooo. Outside alli-
ance Is especially referred to in the
case of the steel companies, which are
allied with eastern steel corporations
and with iron ore interests in the Lake
Superior regions. The corporations
advance the theory that the Lake
county property takes its real va1ua-
that these outside interests ara taxable
elsewhere.
The theory of the state board. 1t was
explained. is that this property because
of its outside interests, Is worth $780,
100000 as 1t stands, and that that sum
should be made the taxing basis. in
stead OF the valuation of the capital
stock represented and the actual value
OF the tangibles. Based on the latter
| 1t was pointed out, the appraisement
would be only about 10 per cent OF
what the board believes to be the real
valuation. AS property is appraised in
Lake and other counties the capital
stock and the tangible valuations are
made the basis.
| The question OF assessment of bank
property is presented annually to the
state board on appeals from county
boards of review. The banks are ac-
custoned TO return the stocks at par
value. then demand the 20 or 20 per
cent reduction allowed by most coun-
ty boards of equalization. Yet many
of these banks. 1T was shown. can COM
mand a price for their stock almost
double the par value. When the bank
stock Is not listed in the stock market,
as is the case in nearly all the Danka
of this state, 1t Is often difficult to de-
termine the actual marketable valus
/ of the stocks.
The counties affected by the court
decision on coal are preparing to file a
petition for q rehearing In the supreme
court.

that these homes be built before the

they will be followed by others. and
that II a man once located here that he

not be likely to move away.
George Locklin complained OF the
