ROSENWALD HAS HAD 1T SOFT,
ACCORDING TO BELL

Julius Rosenwald's public record as
a taxpayer was taken up by Hayden
Bell, assistant states attorney, in
speech at st. Stanislaus Hall last
night. Though Rosenwald this year
pays taxes on 100000 personal prop
erty, two years ago he paid on a
measIv $125,OOO and in 1911 on
$4,000, according to county tax
books, Bell declared
"Mr. Rosenwald owns 147,701
shares of Sears-RoebUck common
stock" said Bell. cat $17O a share
the total is worth $25, 1O9, ITO. This
is assessed by the present board of
review at one-tenth its actual mar
ket value.
Illinois tax laws says clearly that
capital stock should be assessed at
full cash value. The states attor-
ney's Office could have forced the is
sue farther. But every appropria-
ton was cut down or blocked by
President Mccormick of the county
board, a close personal and social
friend of Mr.. ROsenwald.
''In 1911 and 1912 Mr.. RosenwaId's

ST. JOHNS, n. F., April 6.-Anx-
iety deepened today for the l73 men
on the sealing steamer Southern
Cross. which has been missing since
Tuesdays blizzard She was not re-
ported either by incoming vessels OF
the sealing fleet or by the steamer
Kyle sent out by the government to
search for her. IL she is not heard

board
Disaster to her following so closely
upon the loss of seventy-seVen men
of the sealer Newfoundland, would
bring upon the colony the greatest
tragedy in it's history, depriving
whole settlements of their bread win
ners and throwing 1000 women and
children upon charity.
As the public learned today from
the Newfoundland survivors who
were landed here yesterday, the de-
tails of the two days blizzard and
the condition in which it caught the
Southern Cross, the first hope, based
on the stoutness of the ship, faded.
Captain Daniel Martin, of the sealer
Erik, and Captain William Bartlett,

full catches, were dubious regarding
the safety of the missing ship. Mel
