The story OF that phrase Is inter
esting. There were In Chicago two
young. hustling business men. both
Of whom had acquired wealth rap
idly. and both OF whom were baae-
ball fans. They were the two Char.
lies -Wecghman and Walker.
When Murphy summarily fired
Frank Chance. chiefly 20 reduce eS.
pcnses. the two Charles were In
dignant.
They admired Chance and want.
ed 10 keep him at the head OF the
Chicago club.
They. with some others. hit upon
a plan OF buying the Chicago club.
putting Chance In charge and dis.
posing OF Murphy.
They and their friends sent Ed
Westlake, well-known Chicago
newspaper man. with check for
100000. 20 offer Murphy $1,000 900

Many well-known representatives
Of the financial world were aboard

Mr.. Brewster's chief engineer an
nounced that. because of some

several thousand people. most of whom
were Americans and other foreigners.
"A special mission will be sent to take
the berrettas to the absent cardinals, as
was done in the case of Cardinal Glib
bonS.
The ceremony attracted much atten-
ton, even outside the Vatican. the public
being interested in the departure of each
cardinal from his residence to go to the
apostolic palace. The papal procession
and the ceremony which followed were
conducted with great pomp.
The passage of the pontiff, surrounded
and followed by many ecclesiastic. mill

most impressive.

With the time rapidly drawing to a
close when taxes may be paid before
penalties accrue and appeals may be
fled against increases carried in the new
trennial assessment, the offices of the
trict today prepared for the final rush
of property owners who are desirous of
Strengthening out their accounts with
the local government before the end of
the month.
There was scarcely a moment today
when money was not being paid into the
Golfers Of the municipality. Long before
the municipal building opened a line of
taxpayers had formed on the sidewalk
at the east side of the building.
Collector Prince stated that the pay
ments were running about the same as
last year. On the closing day of last
May approximately $2,O0o,O0o were col
lected and it is believed that tomorrow S
collections will be almost as heavy.
The District building will be closed
Saturday, but owners may mail checks
as late as midnight Sunday without in
curing penalties. provided the post
marks show the envelopes to have been.
mailed in May.
Total Taxes Due, $6,4o6, ,e54.O3.
The total amount of taxes due is $5,-
4O6, ,954.03. Realty taxes amount to $5,-
176, S62. 16 and personal to 81 $50, ,091.S1.
There was slight let up today in the
rush of property owners to the as-
SCISSORS office. 1t is now believed that
practically all owners who believe the
ratings on their property are too high
have registered appeals.
1t is estimated that about 1000 persons
have called at the assessors Office daily
during the last two weeks. Approx
mately 10000 appeal blanks have been
distributed. Less than 1000 of the
blanks have been returned, however, it
is stated.
The appeal period will come to a close
next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
After that time property owners may not
ask to have the amounts assessed
against them reviewed or changed. 1t
submitted protests will be called before
the board of equalization and review dur
ing June to explain their reasons for de-
string a change in the ratings.
OF the $4O.OO0,O0O increase shown by
the assessment the business section rep
resents approximately $15,OO0.OOO high
class residential property S5.O0OOOO and
suburban property $2O.OO0,OO0.
The board has at hand great deal of
data concerning sales in these three divi-
sions and will base It's equalizations upon
this Information and additional data that
may be presented the protestors.
