new METHOD OF
WIRE TAPPING

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 1s.-H. v.
Warnock, telegraph operator Of an
alleged bucket-shop, was convicted by
a jury in the superior court Of having
tapped a brokers' leased wire by uti-
LIKING the electrical property of in
duction. Warnock's attorney filed no.
tice of appeal.
According to the prosecutor the case
is the first on record in which a wire
Taper obtained results, without ac-
tually tapping wires.
Warnock was alleged merely to have
obtained a telephone wire contained
In the same cable which carried the
brokers' high tension telegraph wire.
He listened in q telephone receiver to
dots and dashes which were transmit
ted over the telegraph wire and thence
transferred by induction into the near
by telephone circuit.
BY this means Warnock, it was
charged, obtained access to stock
quotations and other information car
ried over the brokers' leased telegraph
wire from New York.

New Tax Schedule c%umberson.

The personal property tax list, issu-
ed under the classification act passed
by the last legislature and dividing
property into four classes with a diff
ferent rate for each class, will more
than double the work Of the assessor
in Minneapolis and Hennepin county
and cause the county to be three
months behind in submitting the list
for the tax duplicates, according to
Al P. Erickson, county auditor.
Mr.. Erickson and G.. L.. Fort, city
assessor, are trying to provide some
sort of schedule which will comply
with the requirements of the new law
and at the same time be more efficient
and less cumbersome than the form
sent out by the state tax board.
The new blank provides for fifty
seven different lists Of property coll
lected under four specific classical
tons, ranging in rate from assessment
at Is per cent to so per cent Of the
value. The old list had thirty-seven
different lists for property, all under
one rate. The assessment this year
will cost the county nearly double
that of former years, according to Mr..
Erickson, and unless the valuations
are raised very materially the returns
will fall off nearly so per cent. he
says.
Nearly one-third Of the personal
property assessments are under the
valuation of $400. Under the new law
a property holder must have a valua-
ton Of more than $400 before any
assessment can be made against him.
The law provides for an assessment
of Is per cent on personal property
with an exception of 500. This rule
applied to property owners with a VAL
uation Of $400 or less will exclude
nearly one-third of the residents of
the county from the personal proper
ty list.
According to estimates, it will take

ing that both will be accomplished
at the present session. While he also
hopes that the presidential primary
idea outlined in his annual message
may be enacted into law before on
gress adjourns, he would not object
to it's going over until the December
session, believing the opinion of the
country should be gathered on it and
bills drawn that are universally salts

about it with Chairman Kern Of the
committee OF privileges and cleo
tions.
Mr.. Wilson would like to see con-
gross adjourn by June with the trust
question and. rural credits disposed of,
but is not sure that congress can
complete it's work by them.
No time as yet has been set for the
reading Of the address to congress by
the president o m the trust question,
but it is likely to be mex Tuesday.
The president Is confering with Rep
resentative Stanley, head of the steel
Investigating committee, and hopes to
consult others prominent in trust re-
form before giving his message to the
printer. He does not believe the trust
question al be covered in a single
bill as were the tariff and the cur
rency, but expects at least two or
three measures.
The president considers the Mexican
situation unchanged, and according
to White House officials, has received
no communications from any of the
foreign governments concerning Mexi-
cos default on the payment Of inter-
est on outstanding bonds.
Published reports of a trade war
by Germany and Great Britain against
the United States are regarded as
pure fiction by the president, and he
believes moreover that there is no
foundation for the supposition that
any agreement, tacit or implied, ex-
lists between Great Britain and Ger
