CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Charging that
$50, 1000. 900 has been stolen from Cook
county by tax dodgers, Maclay Hoyne,
states attorney, instituted in the coun-
ty court proceedings which it is said
eventually will include $1,000 persons.
A brief hearing revealed about so al
legged instances of tax lodging and a
system to be used by assessors in the
office whereby a red mark opposite a
property owners name in the tax book
means his assessment has been can
celed by the assessor.
Charles Kruetckoff, assistant chief
clerk of the board of assessors. testi-
fled that the late A. II. Veeder, was as
sessed $4,000 worth of personal property
last April and for the same amount a
year ago. Testimony was interrupted
to introduce a copy of an inventory
filed in the probate court with Veeder'
will showing at the time of his death
he possessed personal property to the
value of more than $1,000.000
The clerk also testified the late
Darius Miller, president of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy rail

road, was assessed on $4,000 worth
of personal property. The records
of the probate court introduced show
at the time of his death that Miller
had personal property valued at $780,
1913. Wide discrepancies of the per-
sonal property assessments of several
corporations were also shown.
Witnesses asserted it was the prac-
tice to accept the value placed upon
property by the owner rather than
the valuation of the Investigator.
The states attorney said he would
be prepared to ask for warrants on
Tuesday and that the proceedings
would probably last for six months.
For fifteen years there has been
the grossest discrimination in favor
of the minority property owners at
the expense of the majority" said
Hoyne.' 1T has been continuous and
systematic. 1 expect to expose the
system and show it could not be car

participation or guilty knowledge or

not the result of accident or mere

TO PROTECT JEWS
Safety of Hebrews in Turkey Made
Subject of Diplomatic
Representations
IAssocIArED PRESS DIsPArcHI

NEW YORK, Nov. 6,-Thc safety
of Jews in Turkey twice has been
the subject of representations made
to the porte by Germany. according
to a statement Of Count Won Barns
torff, the German ambassador. The
statement said: Some time ago the
German imperial government warm
ly recommended to Turkey the pro-
lection of the Jews of whatever ma
tionality Recently and prior to the
outbreak of the war, this recon-
mendation was renewed 1t had been
feared that numerous Jews in Tur-
key would, in the case of war be
endangered, not only ON account of
their religion, but also because of
their non Turkish nationality. Many
Jews who resided in Turkey fol
years are not, up to this day, OF
toman citizens"

An Indictment

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The trip taken
by the late Edward Morris, a packer
and seven members of his family to
Hot Springs, Ark, January 26, 1912,

Russian Reports Indicate
the Germans Have Been
Forced to Retire from the
Nistula River to Warthe
River Region
MOST IMPORTANT
RUSSIAN VICTORY
1t is Believed, However,
There viii Have to Be
Another Big Battle on the
Warthe Before Russians
Again Threaten SileSia
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH !

LONDON. Nov. 6.-The Russians re-
port having driven the Germans back
to their border in the north and forced
the center to retire from the Nistul1 TO
the Warthe River. The Russian gen
eral staff has turned its attention to
the Austrians, who are stubbornly hold
ing positions along the San in Galicia.
According to a telegram from Grand
Duke Nicholas the Russians have won
a victory more important than any pre-
cedng. The Russians say they have
again occupied Jaroslau, north of Pre-
mysl, capturing 5000 prisoners and
much war material.
1t is believed here. however, there
will have to be another big battle on
the Warthe before the armies of En-
peror Nicholas seriously threaten ST.
lesia.
Ir the struggle between the Germans
and allies in the west, there is again
little. if any, change The Germans
twice balked in the attempt to reach
the French coast, are preparing for an
other attack which if like the last, is
directed at the line held by the British
where for a fortnight some of the most
sangunary fighting of the war has
been in progress and where the casu-
alties of both sides perhaps have been
larger than those on a more restricted
front that that of any previous battle.
a Berlin official report claims the
Germans have made progress here, but
this is a direct contradiction to the
claims of the allies, who say they are
holding oil their positions and have
made some gains. Reports from the
Dutch frontier that the Germans are
making preparations for retirement,
but military observers here say that
from the fact that reinforcements are
being brought up it is certain they have
not yet despaired of breaking through
the allies front and reaching either
Calais or Boulogne.
Elsewhere along the great front there
is a repetition of isolated encounters
which in a French official statement
are referred to as minor affairs but
which in ordinary wars would be con-
sidered fair sized battles. The British
fleet according to unofficial accounts,
has again taken action along the Bel
gian coast. bombarding Knocke and
Zecbrugge. where the Germans are
supposed to be organizing bases for
submarines.
An official press bureau statement
issued says:
The enemy's attack decreased in
vigor, the process of pressing them
hack making slow but steady prog
ress. The advance was most marked
south of Dixmude, toward Ghele
weldt, but the weather has been mis-

These shipments were consigned to
