into millions"
Judge Owens asked about how
many millions are lost in this way.
Asst States Atty Henry Berger said
it runs above $50, 900.
Two slips of paper are in a steel,
fireproof vault in the Office of Sey- s
mour Morris, 112 Adams ST. They are '"
worth exactly $1,900,000. On the
tax books of Cook county these two
slips of paper are assessed as per
sonal property"
Taxes on these two slips of paper
figure at $31, 666.65 this year. Tax
fixers tried to block the city from
getting this money.
Maclay Hoyne, states attorney of
Cook county, last spring took staff
of assistants and made a night at
tack on the county attorneys Office.
He took possession of the rooms,
desks and records. He fred out of
the place all of the so-called county
attorneys and assistants dabblng in
the tax game.
With his assistant, Hayden N. Bell,
Hoyne went over the tax laws. The
order was given that the tax laws
be enforced to the limit.

they say or they are JOKE" said
Hoyne. I'VE viii find out whether

Mollie Netcher >Neuberger, owner of
the Boston Store, had bought from
the Levi 2. Letter estate the land on
the corner of State and Washington
streets where the Hillman store now
stands. The price was $2,900,000.
AS part payment Mrs. Neuberger
gave one note of 81, 100000 and an
other note Of 100000.
These are the two slips of paper

Ter was assessed only $4,000. This
happened in the district from which
Adam Wolf is responsible on the
Board Of Assessors.
These exposures took special
meaning because, when Judge Owens
opened court Hayden N. Bell, for
the states attorneys ONCE made a
statement, saying:
"The assessor who accepts an I'M
sworn or unitemized schedule COM
mits a crime. If that has been done
it is the business of this inquiry to
find out who is committing the
crime.
The taxpayer who makes a false
disclosure in order to get a caneela-
ton of assessments, commits per-
jury.
cit has become the rule to trans
act business in different way from
that prescribed by law. What those
deviations from the law are and who
is responsible, we shall determine.
I'VE viii prove there are irregular
tiles, evasions. We viii go farther
and show there is crime. Whether
the crime is by the taxpayer or the
tax officials, or both, is to be ascer-
tanned. The point we emphasize now
is that there is crime"
The knock-off in taxes handed

England Fights Disease
By Pensioning Carriers
Of Germs Causing MaIady

London. Eng, Feb. pa peculiar
bargain is being struck by some local
governments in England for the pre-
vention of the spread of disease The
Manchester city government has Just
agreed to grant a pension to a woman
carrier Of enteric germs in return for
which she has given her promise 10

According to reports Of physicians ar-
tached to the local government board
the landlody was responsible for an
epidemic of enteric fever among her
dodgers, and it was decided to buy her
or with weekly pension.
A more serious case is reported from
the West Riding of Yorkshire where
a woman employed as a hOusekeeper
at various farms is declared to be the
source or so cases OF enteric fever, SIX
of which proved fatal. For three years
after her discharge from the hospital
where she was treated for the fever

Girl Must Qualify rs
Expert Washwoman if
She Wishes Her Degree

New York, Feb. 21.-YelIow soap and
washtubs may seem very remote from
college work and higher education"
yet they form a part of the regular
curriculum at one of New FORKS lead
ing universities, and unless a girl can
qualify as an expert WashWOman she
cannot hope for her B. S. degree in
the department of household arts.
The terrOrs of Greek, the intricacies
of mathematics, the mysteries of psy-
chOlOgy, all pale before the labOrious
tolls of the laundry course, which re-
qulres good stout muscles and a CHEEKY
heart rather than quick wits and a
vocabulary. There is no bluffing here,
but hard labor of the strong back va
rlety where dainty girls, pretty girls
luxurious girls, all forget their pre-
vious condition and fail valiantly to
rubbing, boiling, starching and bluing
like true professionals.
With white arms flashing in and out

Every week there are different

prepared Tor handsome residence on the
corner. of New Orleans and Alabama
streets, directly opposite the park.
Bnilding Streets.
Because of the unevenncss of the
ground, street improvement has been eX-
ceedingly costly in this addition, and
two years ago the city spent something
ike $4,000 in putting a driveway
through the entire addition, and the de-
Ve!Opment IN Manhattan Heights to the
east has made it possible for a number
of other streets to be opened up and con-
nected through and there is now on foot
a movement among the citizens to have
this accomplished at once. Paving Is
now within one block of the park, and
it is expected that the city viii do its
part in paving around the park so that
this beautiful green spot may be appre-
ciated not only by the people living in
the vicinity, but by all the people OF El
Paso.
Churches and Stores.
Highland Park supports two churches,
the Highland Park Baptist church, which
was built at a cost of $500, and the
Highland Park Methodist church, which
cost $4,000, both of which churches have
large and enthusiastic membership and
the largest Sunday schools IN proportion
to church membership of any churches In
Ell PasO. The Rev. A. j. Boyd is pastor
of the Baptist church and Rev. Wallace
r. Evans is pastor OF the Methodist
church
The addition has within its limits all
the business establishments so essential
to the convenience OF the home. In
cluded in this list are four groceries, a
substatiOn pOstOffice, a steam laundry,
and a drug store. The downtown stores
make regular deliveries leaving no ac-
commodations to be desired.
City C0nvenienceS.
The CITY furnishes the residents Of
Highland Park with a fully equipped
fire department and there has not been
a disastrous fire in Highland Park since
the establishment of this station.
The FL PasO Gas company has a high
pressure gas line which supplies the en-
tire addition with gas and the majority
of the residents of this section utilize
this convenient method for cooking and
many for heating their houses.
The Tri-StateT telephone company fur
nishes every resident of Highland Park
who desires it, with direct telephone con-
nectiOn with other parts of the city,
Therefore, it can be seen that Highland
Park has all the requirements for a
modern, uptodate residence district.

One of the most enjoyable outings

written into its record the testimony
Of experts who take issue with the
opinion held by postmaster general
Herbert Samuel that such an enter

success of the state owned Pacific
