CALIFORNIA COLLECTS BIG TAX.
Pacific Coast State Assesses Corpora
tons and Makes Them Pay.

Washington, Sept. 2e.-With collec-
tons of sl1,000,,00G, California led all
the Pacific and mountain states in the
taxation of corporations in 1912. Com
missioner Davies, Of the bureau of
corporations, reported today to the
president. That amount was exceeded
only by Pennsylvania and New York,
and was not approached by any other
state. The report covered Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado. Utah, Ne
vada, Arizona, New Mexico, California,
Washington and Oregon. OF that group
California alone separates the source
of state and local revenue. The special
taxes fixed on corporations for state
purposes yielded about IS per cent Of
the required revenue,
Commissioner Davies stated that n
contrast to the use of special taxes on
corporations in California was the al
most complete dependence on the gen.
eral property tax in Nevada and New
Mexico" Montana. the report showed,
applied a gross-receipts tax to rail-
road and express companies
A noteworthy feature Of the tax sys-
tenn in the Pacific and mountain group,
Mr.. Davies stated, as that most Of the
state constitutions contain minute pro-
visions regarding the North Atlantic
states in which only a few fundamental
principles are laid down"

GERMANY's DEADLY MoRTARs.

Berlin, Sept. ia member of the

over forty officers took part in the
discussions at which the military bud
get was prepared for suomittal TO the
budget committee of the reichstag.
When a new clause was reached with
only the heading arms the chief of
the department of arms requested that
for the time being this subject could
not be discussed. AT the conclusion of
the conference he told me in strict
confidence that the title arms in
volved new siege mortars.
The general staff requested urgent

officers present had any knowledge Of

Six weeks ago 1 visited an ammuni-
ton factory as d member OF the arna-
ment commission and ascertained that
any number of projectiles and cases
for these morta-s could be produced
within very short time. In reply to
my questions whether these uOrtars
did not wear out rapidly, director Of
the company said There are not
enough fortresses in existence in the
whole world to wear out a single
mortar. AS q matter of fact our army
possesses 5000 nlortars of an earlier

The official North German Gazette
also discusses these new mcrtars with
special reference to their proiectiles. 1t
says:
IF weapon Of the German army
has claim of popularity it is the
42-centimeter mortars which in spite
of their huge dimensions have man
aged to remain concealed. In fact the
nickname Drummer" which has been
given to these mortars shows how far
this popularity has progressed. One
can not be astonished that shot
which hurls with accuracy q weight of
eight hundredweights over Il space of
q German mile to its goal causes an
atmospheric pressure which for miles
around hurls everything into the air.
Reports have shown that the projectile.
after it has left the mortar causes a
great noise only by cutting thru the

PELLAeRA CURE FOUND.
Proper Diet Effective in Curing MaIady
in Four Weeks.

IN fOuF weeks.
Sioux City Sept. 3o.-Sioux City
physicians have received reports cred
tied to the public health service in
Wa shington to the effect that the cause
and cure OF peilagra. one OF the most
mysterious and deadly Of diseases,
have been found.
Improper diet causes the ennervating
disease, and corrected diet will cure 1t,
according TO the reports. The cure can
be accomplished usually within a pc
Rod of four weeks, it is declared.
A case of pellagra. or Lombardian
leprosy. as it Is called. was discovered
recently in Sioux City. Maurice G.
Leahey, a railroad switchman, is the
victim. He had quit work temporarily
on account of an injury. After sew
eral months it was found that he had
developed pellagra. Not over seven
cases of the disease have occurred in
Iowa. The number in America has
been small. Italy is the home of the
malady. The first known case was
found about 1875.
Pellagra proceeds by stages. In the
first stage II is marked by red. gaunt-
let shaped eruption on .ne hands and
wrists The second stage is one of
nerve CelSIlOIdllCll. i ne last stage re-
suits fatally after internal inhamma-
ton and eraaciation.
Medical men for decades have tried
to decide upon the cause Of the dis
ease. Many doctors attributed it to
eating of corn, and resulting fermenta-
ton OF the grain particles But pellasra
was found in countries wnere corn is
not eaten. So that theory was shat
tered.
Surgeon Goidberger. IF the public
health service. and Director w. T. Lo-
REM, OF the Wisconsin psycbiatric in
stitute, with assistants, have been
working several months in study of the
peaagra problem. Their efforts, built
upon discoveries made by medical au-
thorities IN Europe. have brought about
the conclusions that pellaera Is not
contagious, that It is not infectious,
and that il is due to dietary causes al
| together, not to any specific organism
tor nicrobe.

BRAVES WIN CHAMPIONSHIP.
Boston clinches Title in Last Game on
Home Field This Season.

Boston, Sept. 30.-The Boston Braves
have won the peunant in the National
league race of 1914. By defeating the
Chicago Cubs yesterday. while New
York was losing to the Pittsburgh
Pirates, the Braves clinched their title
TO the coveted flag. Should Boston
lose all its remaining games, and New
York finish the season without another
defeat, the Braves would still have a
small lead. To-Day at New York the
Braves and the Giants meet in the first
of series OF i've games.
The deciding game was staged under
most dramatic circumstances for the
pennant winners. Boston was playing
its last game Of the season on the home
field and the fans We're cheering for
victory. Chicago took the lead in the
opening inning and increased their lead
to two scores in the fourth inning
Cheney's wildness paved the way for
two Boston scores in the fifth, tieing up
the count. With the score knotted the
game was indecisive to the ninth,
when the Braves made sensational
last inning finish, winning by a score
of 3 to 2.
Meanwhile the Pirates were annihi-
iating three Giant pitchers, and robbed
New York of further continuing the
pennant fight by defeating the Giants,
5 TO 9.
Manager Stallings success has been
gained with a team. many Of the mem
bers of which had been discarded by
other major league clubs. The greatest
single factor in the building of the
pennant winning organization, how
ever, probably was the caquisition of
Johnny Evers, manager last year of the
Chicago Cubs.
