TAX COMMISSION
 IS EXPLAINING NEW LAW
(From Sundays Daily.)

Letters to the county assessors explaining senate bill No. P, the general revenue law which has just received the governors signature, are being sent out by the state tax commission Copies of the law are being enclosed.
 Up to this time the assessors have been working at a disadvantage. They did not know how to proceed, and many of them do not yet know all the provisions of No. 22
 One of the most important pro visions is that relating 10 the ass essment and taxation of live stock. It is provided that no matter where sheep, cattle or horses -graze, they shall be assessed in the county where the home ranch of the owner Is To- cated. The owner shall make affida- vit of the number of animals grazing in counties outside the one in which he holds residence. If he lives in Apache, for instance, he must state how many graze in Navajo, and the assessor of Apache shall credit Maya 10 with the proper amount: The money shall be forwarded to the state treasurer and by him transmit ted to the treasurer of Navajo
 Heretofore the county authorities have been expected to remit direct to each other, but the system has worked badly Often they have re fused to do SO.

PREDICTS RETURN
 OF CONDITIONS OF 1893
(From Sundays Daily.)

Recollections of the disaster which overlook the wool growers of North ern Arizona in 1893, when Congress enacted the notorious Wilson free wool schedule, were vividly recalled yesterday when Gus Reimer, was seen on the streets, having just ar rived from the Augua Caliente Springs after being under treatment for several weeks for rheumatism.
 In that far-away day, Mir. Reim- CT had the misfortune to have his money tied up in the sheep industry, but in a few months after the tariff law went into effect, all that was left did not occasion him any uneasiness, as he said Eve were all wiped off the earth as If a tornado had been at work" He is of the belief that identical conditions are to face sheepmen of this era, and from the past experience of the awful de struction that prevailed, he predicts a repetition of the disaster as inevi- table if the free wool schedule is again perpetrated.
 Mir Reimer retired from the sheen raising business when he was fore ed out so many years ago, and until recently was a cattle owner Recent ly he sold his interests, and after a brief sojourn with old time friends in this section. will go to California to reside and possible engage in some line of business that will not be subject to tariff fluctuations

A CALIFORNIA PIER COLLAPSED
Thirty-Three Persons Killed Whdn
overburdened Structure at Long
Beach Went Down.

Long Beach, Calico weak to up
hold the burden of nearly 10000 hui
man beings assembled for the festiv-
tiles of British Empire Day." the
land end of the big double-decked
municipal pier in front of the city
auditorium collapsed. Hundreds of
persons on the top deck were plunged
down on the heads of other hundreds
crowded on the second deck. The
lower deck then gave way and all
were dropped down a chute of shat
tered woodwork to the tide-washed
sands twenty-five feet below.
Thirty-three persons-mostly wom-
en-were killed by the shivered tim
bers, or crushed to death by the fall
ing bodies of companions and friends.
Fifty more were seriously injured,
while hysteria and parslyzing fright
disabled scores of Others.
A section of the auditorium, which
went down in the crash and the de-
bris from it was added to the wreck
age that fell on top of the injured
and the dead The victims were sub
jects or former subjects of Great
Britain, resident in southern Califor-
mia.
The cause of the accident was the
overburdening OF the pier. This, ac-
cording to an official statement, was
due to the delay in unlocking the
doors. Had the doors been unlocked
at the proper time, it is asserted, the
crowd would have got into the audi
forum, instead of massing at the
doors, where the weight overwhelmed
the pier supports
Scottish bagpipers had just entered
the portal of the auditorium and were
still marking time when the timbers
were sundered When the auditorium
front fell out those near the doors
tried to get out OF the pier and went
down on top of the scores who al
ready lay hurt or dying on the sand

ROOSEVELT LIBEL CASE ON
Colonel's Suit Against Ishpeming
Editor Attracts Crowd to
That Michigan Town.

lshpeming, Mich.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelts libel suit against George
P. Newett. editor and publisher of
Iron Ore, was called for trial in Judge
Flannigan's court, and promises to be
the most interesting and sensational
case heard in northern Michigan in
many a year Scores of special cor
respondents for newspapers and news
associations are on the ground and
many other persons have come, at
tracted by the unusual features of the
case and the prominence of the COM
plainant. The task of selecting a
Jury may occupy several days
During the campaign of last fall
Newett published in his paper an ar
ticle charging that Colonel Roosevelt
was in the habit of indulging immod-
erately in the use of Intoxicating
liquors. The colonel promptly ordered
the institution of proceedings for
criminal libel. Newett, who is known
as a fighting editor has made every
PREPARATION to defend himself vigor-
ously and will attempt to substantiate
his charges. Numerous witnesses
have been summoned by each side
and the hearing of the testimony is
awaited with the greatest interest.
