Another Step Taken In the Application of the Somers System to the Property of Phoenix Within Cen tral District.
REVISION MADE
 OF RELATIVE VALUES
Table Showing Relation of Property On All Streets to Washington Property Between First Avenue and First Street.

Relative percentages of the land val ues on the inside lots of all the blocks in the district bounded by Van Buren on the north, Jackson on the south, Seventh avenue on the west and Sev- enth street on the east. for properties facing north and south have been fixed tentatively by the special committee of property owners at the meeting of the Somers system of realty equalization, held yesterday in the city hall. These percentages were practically adopted yesterday after a careful revision of the work of last Friday, and considerable progress in polishing off the rough places of the early work was accomp- lished. @Sa
 The committe has selected Washing ton street between First Ave. and First St. as the high value center of the city and after marking this one hundred per cent, have graduated the values of all the property in the dis trict above named, on the basis of it's relative percentage of the value of the central point. In this way, all inside properties on the east and west streets in the entire central business section of the city have been appraisd without naming the dollar values of the front age in question.
 It is stated that the inside frontage on the blocks selected as 100 per cent value will be between S1050 and s1100 per foot. This appraisal does not in clude the values of the corners of any of the intersecting streets. and until the percentage values Of the streets and avenues, intersecting the named streets, are fixed upon, there will be no exact information as to the tentative values to be placed on the corners. These will be computed through the use of the Somers system corner tables after the unit values of the frontage on all streets have been fixed
 To assure of the completion of the Somers system work in the four other Arizona cities where it is to be in stalled by the specified date on May lst, James G. Stafford, land valuation expert under the Somers system. with headquarters at Los Angeles, arrived In Phoenix yesterday and was present at {; the meeting today.

The guards are under orders to shoot him if any attempt to rescue him is made by his friends. The general feared his enemies might take advantage of the crder to make false demonstration to mislead his guards.
 Maxine Castillo, the bandit charg cd with the Cumbre tunnel tragedy was heard from again today for the first time since the reports of his execution were received at JuareZ by General Villa.
 The message which read Castillo is on our ranch" was received at Hachita, x. M., by Captain White of the Ninth United States Cavalry who transmitted it by army wireless to Fort Bliss. The message to Captain White was signed "McCormick." Me Cormick is manager of the Las Palo- mas ranch and while he is regarded as reliable, the news is considered of little importance save to show that the bandit is alive, for Las Palomas is a ranch of 100000 acres in extent
 General Scott telegraphed Captain White that there was nothing the latter could do unless Castillo came or American soil, in which ease the captain was instructed to arrest him.
