Ask for Tax Reductions.

The taxpayers reduction contingent appeared again before the board of re- lief Tuesday forenoon. to give their reasons why they thought their tax lists too high. Wednesdays session was the most interesting yet of the series and the monotony of the routine objections was varied by the star speech of the hearing by Henry A. Bugbee relative to the assessors val nation of his block on Main street and land and tenement houses on Ash street. He was loaded to the muzzle with facts and figures, vouchers of cost of buildings, etc, and marshalled his statistical forces before the board to impress them of the enormity of his grievances.
 James Johnson objected to the as sessment of his business block on Church street and his North street livery stable. but had no fault to find with the valuation of his dwelling house property. The other requests for reductions were made by Mrs. Katherine A. Baker, Mary A Cranston for the John Spencer estate. William D. Lason, William Maxwell for Mary A. Connolly property, John McDon- ough, Annie and Lizzie Casey and Michael Casey.

 Principal Cases Recommendations.
 In Principal Cases Board of Trade address on the Windham High school Tuesday evening, he showed that in reports from 103 high schools in this state only three showed a lower net cost for maintenance than does the Windham High school. This is not because of a miserly policy, but be- cause with a better building and bet ter facilities a larger number of pu- pills are taught at a smaller per capita cost. Principal Case urges the need of the immediate finishing of the in- terior of the new high school building and equipping it with a system of tel ephone and clocks. A more staple teaching force he believes would be secured by a salary schedule and a systematic tenure of office. There Is a great need he says of physical train ing under the direction of a competent instructor and also of ade- quate recreation grounds at the school

Worlds Greatest :.
Political Strike

OrganizedL abor of Belgium
Is Prepared To Make
Sweeping Attempt To
Secure Manhood
Suffrage.

Brussels. April 11.-Alla the
hopes that the general strike for
manhood suffrage would be avert
ed have vanished one by one and
it now seems certain that the most
sweeping attempt yet made in the
worlds history to apply the meth
DDS of organized labor for purely
political ends will begin Monday.
The leaders. in the movement
display the utmost confidence and
the strike fund now amounts to
approximately 100000 and
fresh contributions from home and
abl DAD are pouring in hourly. The
Belgian cigar workers of Boston,
Olneyville and Manchester, U. S.
A., have sent $4,000
POPULATION BADLY SCARED
The bulk of the conservative
middle class population who have
up to the present, because of the
assurances of the government and
clerical press that the strike was a
bluff and bogev, regarded it with
unconcern are now tbeginning to
be badly scared and these fears are
increased by forebodings of dis
orders and brigandage with which
a certain section of the press is
filled.
Many storekeepers. as a conse-
q renee, have announced that they
would close their Establishments
and place their valuables in securi-
ty. The rush to obtain stocks of
provisions is increasing.
The socialists however, laugh at
these terrors. They profess to be-
lieve that the measures they have
taken are fully adequate to prevent
serious trouble. They urge pro-
hibition of the sale of liquors and
the closing of the saloons, and have
themselves forbidden parades and
meetings of their adherents.

JACKSON AVENGED
INDIAN MASSACRE

In 1873 Gen. Andrew Jackson seized
Mobile for the United States, at about
the time the Creek Indians, instigated by
the British. took up arms against the
United States. In August of that yeai
the Indians massacred a large party OF
settlers at Fort Minis. Jackson later
avenged the deaths of the members OF
this party at Talladega and Horseshoe
Bend, wreaking a terrible vengeance on
the Indians.
In 1877 Alabama territory was or
ganized, with ST. Stephens as its cap
ital. The first legislature met at hunts
vile in 1918 and in 1919 the state was ad
mitted to the union as a. slave state,
paired with Maine as free state. The
capital was changed to Cahaba in 1920, to
Tuscaloosa in 1926 and to Montgomery
in 1S47.
Montgomery was the first capital OF
