KICK MADE ON

Pointed Queries Are Asked
Attorney,

Santa Re, Aug. GA lively discus
sion between Assistant District Attor-
ney O. l.. Phillips. OF Ration. on the one
side. and Attorney General Frank w.
Clancy and Governor W. G. Mcdonald
on the other as to the proper valua-
ton Of Colfax county coal lands for
taxation purposes formed the princi-
pal feature of the session Of the board
of equalization today.
Mr. Phillips insisted that Colfax
county lands have been placed at too
high valuation, and declared that
continued raises would result in the
assessor being unable to get citizens
to give the correct value Of their prop
erty. He was frequently interrupted
by the governor and the attorney gem
eral with pointed questions. and he
finally declared with some heat that
he would finish his argument III al

There are indications that the mat
ter Of the startling shrinkage in agri-
cultural lands in the tax rolls is going
to be probed a little by the board.
Chief Deputy Assessor Philip Sanchez
OF Mora county, was asked for some
information as to the reason for the
decrease in the Mora county acreage.
Mr. Sanchez said ii was partly due to
change in the classification and the
change from the use of the Spanish
varas to acres.
The attorney general in addressing
a representative of Luna county had
some very plain comments to make on
the spectacle of Luna county advertis-
ing to the world hundreds Of thous-
ands Of acres agricultural land and
then returning one or two thousand,
the plain Inference being that there
was either gross deceit in advertising
or in returning property.

Mr.. Phillips took the position that
lands should not assessed as coal lands
unless actual investigation showed
that coal had been found upon them,
whereupon he was asked by Attorney
General Clancy IL IT were not true that
Some of these undeveloped coal lands
have been the basis for the sale of
large bond issues. The attorney
doubted If this was true, and Mr..
Clancy replied that Charlie Spiess
had admitted that such is the case.
In reply to a question from Gov
ernor Mcdonald Mr.. Phillips was un-
able to state the value of an acre of
coal land in Colfax county when coal
is known to exist on the land. He
stated that he considered tax on the
output for coal as Just and equitable,
but was informed by Mr.. Clancy that
the legislature could not be induced to
uroVi1a such q tax

Assessed at Full Value.

Mr.. Phillips declared that the as
sessmcnts of Colfax county had been
increased repeatedly. and that In his
opinion the property of that county is
now assessed ut its full value. He
also asserted that injunction suits had
been filed TO prevent 30 per cent of
the raises that had been made by the
board.
Governor Mcdonald inquired Of Mr.
Phillips as to what an acre of coal
land is valued at, to which the attor-
torney replied that the assessor could
give that information. The governor
then questioned Mr.. Phillips as to the
valuation of the property of the st.
Louis. Rocky Mountain & Pacific rail
road, and the latter replied that in
his opinion the county OF Colfax had
gotten at the actual value OF the prop
erty. lie also told of an old piano

II the town were terrorized by the
big blow, it remained for the boys
on Mizpah hill to feel the full brunt
of the storm. They caught it right
straight from the southeast, without
any sheltering hills and for a time
it appeared as though the boys at
the Mizpah Hill club would have to
seek other quarters. The imposing
three-story clubhouse trembled with
the impact of each gust and the oc-
cupants decided they would be on the
safe side in the event of anything
happening Therefore they dressed
and took to the hillside, where they
remained until the worst was over.
The only trouble of the telephone

SYMPATHY is SOUGHT
BY FORMER ICE KING
Investigation Of His Arrest
and Trial.

Morse: the former 'ice king" whose op-
erations carried him from the banking
regions OF New York to the Atlanta peni-
sional investigation OF all circumstances
which led up to his conviction several
years ago Of violating national banking
laws. Although his plans have not been
announced. II became known here today
that ie contemplates suit for damages
against prominent New York bankers
and other persons connected with his
trial and conviction, Morse was In
Washington yesterday for a full hour
and talked 10 Senator Bofah of Idaho
and suggested TO him the need for an
investigation OF conditions which led to
his arrest.
Mr., Morse was sentenced to the Atlanta
penitentiary for fifteen years. warm
tigation both in and out OF congress re-
suited in a pardon by President Taft,
Mr.. Taft secured the services OF army
surgeons. who declared that Morse in or
out of prison, could not live longer than
six months. The prisoner was released
from Atlanta within five days of two
years ago. Shortly afterward he sailed
for Europe took a cure" and then re-
turned to the United States.
Since his return from Europe Morse
tions TO reopen, in the court of public
opinion at least, the case against him.
He is said 10 hold that the principal
charge on which he was convicted, the
the National bank of North America. was
flimsy and that he did nothing more
than was done by scores of bankers in
New York. At the time Morse was vice
president OF the bank and the testl-
mony showed that he made dummy loans
and was a purchaser Of the stock Of the
American Ice Securities company and
of the stock Of his own bank.
