He had been missing since Friday. It is believed that he fell from a wharf on Friday night and was drowned.

 After the death of his uncle Schrank moved his scanty effects to llttie hotel in Brooklyn, block from the cemetery, and for days thereafter ne spent hours at his aunts grave
 An effort will be made to ascertain whether Colonel Roosevelt while police commissioner in New York ever caused Flammang's saloon to be closed for eK- else violations. Friends of the family declared that 1t was always an orderly place, and that Schrank must have been mad if he said his hatred dated from the day policemen raided the saloon. Schrank has absolutely no police record in this city. An investigation of the saloon licenses issued on the lower East Side shows that license No. 4s9e was issued on April 29, 1905, to John Schrank as proprietor. The location or the saloon Is given as 370 East Tenth street The place Is now grocery store.

TAXCOMM|SSI0NERS APPEAR TOMORROW To Answer Rule Nisi Before
 Judge Crow
 APPEAL IS CERTAIN
Considerable Difference of Opinion Exists as to Authority of Con- mission in Overriding the
 Board of Revenue

The members of the tax commission of the state, J. Lee Long. A. A. Evans and John B. Powell, will reach Birmingham tomorrow night and on Saturday will ap- pear before Judge E. c. Crow of the circuit court and give cause for their action in setting aside the decisions of the board of revenue in cases appealed from the assessment of the county tax commissioner.
 The big fight will then be on, and concerning the outcome there is difference of opinion. From the decision of Judge Crow 1t is practically certain that an appeal will be taken.
 The history of the fight up to the pres ent time is we'll known The county com missioner as is remembered, increased the assessments of many people of Jefferson county from the figure set by the county fax assessor. These people appealed and their cases were heard by the board of revenue. When the board declined to permit some of the assessments of the commissioner to stand, Governor O'Neal dispatched the state board to Birmng- ham for the purpose of re-assessing these eases.
 The point raised is whether or not the state board has the right to make as- easements following the action of the board of revenue. On this point there is a difference of opinion. It is under stood that the governor, the attorney general and the other legal advisers of the state administration are of the opinion that the tax board has the right to go over the head of the board of revenue, and that the members of the state tax board themselves doubt their authority.
 The members of the state tax board 1lave not authorized statements in this regard. They simply say that they have been instructed to re-assess the cases, and that they have done so
 The taxpayers of the county will be represented by attorneys. It is probable that Col Jesse F. Stallings and Frank $. White will represent the state.

Bullet Not Poisoned

Milwaukee, October 16.-All fear that the bullet with which Colonel Roosevelt was shot might have been coated with poison was dispeled today when Prof. f, E. W. Sommer, analytical chemist, mo- tified District Attorney Babel that no traces of poison were found by him in the empty she'll and upon the other bull lets in the pistol with which John Schrank shot Colonel Roosevelt Monday night. A solution made by Professor Sommer from scrapings from the bullets and the empty shell were noculated into guinea pigs but no traces of poison were found.
 To satisfy himself of the mental condi- tion of the assa ssin and as to the first step in the prosecution of his case. District Attorney Zabel has engaged the services of three alienists to examine Schrank. 1t is understood each alienist will make an individual examination.
 Schrank spent most of today writing, but so far nothing he has written has schrank has not attempted to pass any thing that has been written out of nis cell. Until he does this the sheriff will not avail himself of the privilege of scrutinizing any written communications
 The letters found on Schrank after he had shot Colonel Roosevelt indicate, alienists say. paranoia. e
