LURED TO HIS DEATH
IN NEW YORK STREET
Barnet Baff, Prominent Poultry Dealer,
Shot by One of Two Men, Who
Fled in Automobile.

New York, Nov. 25.--Lured by false
message, Barnet Baif, who controlled a
chain OF poultry stores here and was one
OF the most prominent independent deal
ers in the city, was shot and killed on
the street last night by two men who
escaped in an automobile. Raft had been
expecting message from place on 18th
avenue and when he went to that street
from his main store on Thompson ave-
Eue he was shot down. A hooded motor
car standing near Immediately was start
ed and two men jumped into it as it
dashed away.
Baff is said to have given important
testimony when the poultry trust" was
on trial. One of his stores was dam
aged by bomb some time ago.
Although Baf is said to have incurred
enmity because his testimony in the
poultry trust" case was largely instru
mental in the conviction of l3 poultry
dealers on charges of conspiracy to re-
strain trade and fix false values the
police attach significance to the fact that
his safety had been seriously menaced
during the past year because of his ac-
tlNltlSS against MI cuSJ oluC Ddlih hhpNh
as the bottle gang"
An ambulance surgeon who examined
the body stated that Baf had been shot
from behind both bullets striking near
the left shoulder and one piercing the
heart Detectives found that the assas
sins evidently had stood in dark door
way on 18th avenue and waited for Baf |
10 pass them before they fired Ten |
blocks away, in the direction toward |
which the automobile disappeared after
he shooting, a revolver was found in the
street.
In view of the fact that Baff had been
. witness in two criminal eases, District |
Attorney Whitman last night ordered
Assistant District Attorney Deuel. to
make every effort to find the assassins
e he considered it as much an attack
lpon the law as upon Baf and believed
part of campaign of intimidating
witnesses, judges and iuries.
In addition to the markets which he
ontrolled here, Baff owned Others in
joston and Philadelphia.

KAISER REINFORCES
WITH MEN AND GUNS
Russians Claim That Heavy
Losses Have Been Infiict-
ed on Germans ON Main
Battle Line Between Wis
tula and Warta-POrtugal
Ready to Fight

The official communications of the war
ring European nations were so cautious
they gave but little new information as
to the situation ON the various fields of
battle to-day, but unofficial advices in
dicated that the fighting was proceeding
with great intensity in Belgium and
northwestern France, as well as in Rus
sian Poland.
The military activity in the west CEN
tered on the line from the Belgian town
Of Ypres across the border to Labassee in
France. This latest phase'o of the war is
believed to mark another German effort
to push forward to the English channel,
and it is said the battle is blazing forth
With all the fury and desperation of for
mer German attacks. The Germans have
brought up reinforcements and new
heavy guns, and it is expected in London
that the next few days will be marked
by some Of. the most deadly encounters
of the war.
Definite news as to the outcome of the
crucial struggle in the East is still lack
ing. Private dispatches from Petrograd
state that the Russians have made an
important forward movement on the o.
enstocheowa-C -Cracow line, which, rough
ly, parallels the border of Slesia. The
latest official statement from Petrograd
says the Russians are still on the often
sive on the main battle line between the !
Vistula and the Warta rivers and that |
heavy losses have been inflicted on the
rotresting enemy.
Austria and Germany, however, state
that the battle still is in progress and /
that the issue is not decided.
Portugal's decision to send military /
forces to the aid of the allies, when in
the opinion of the executive such action
becomes necessary was received with en-
tnusiasm throughout the country. There
were no indications, however, when this
mcve would be made.

Roumania watchful.

Bucharest, Roumania, July 30.-Al.
though Roumania was mobilizing about
20 per cent of its fighting strength on
the Bulgarian frontier today, it was ex'
planned here that it aid not contem.
plate hostilities so long as Austria and
Servia alone were at war. The mobil'
ization' IS purpose, it was stated, was to
keep Bulgaria "under observation
Bulgaria has all along been consid-
cred Austrian, while Roumania is Of
the Russian faction Of nations. Should
Russia take the field to protect Servia,
it has been expected Bulgaria would try
to help Austria by invading Seryian
territory. Roumania is understood to
consider it its business to counteract
such move by attacking Bulgaria.
Though numerically weaker than
either Servia or Bulgaria, Roumania
having escaped the weakening effects
of the Balkan allies struggle with Tur
key, is perhaps at present in better
fighting condition than any Of the neal
eastern states.

THE 1914 TAX ROLL
COMPLETED TODAY
Assessment Roll Contains Ss3 Pages
Valuation win Be Above That Of
1918, Which Was $4S,629,95S.

The writing of the 1914 assessment
roll, upon which the taxes for the next
year will be computed, will be COM
pleted today, according to the an.
nouncement Of Assessor Ben West. Tho
1914 acreage roll contains $50 more en-
tries than the 1913 roll. This increase
was due to the separation of large
farms into small acreage tracts. Here
tOfore these larger tracts have been
assessed as one tract regardless of the
subdivisions When any of the small
er tracts were sold it was necessary for
the tax collector to make new entry
in his books and look up the descrip'
tion of the property and other data
usually secured by the assessor.
Also, it often occasioned delay when
some Of the owners Of small tracts did
not want to pay taxes when other own
ers did and it was necessary to pay al
taxes together on the single entry. BY
the separate system any tract that il
sold after the assessment roll is writ
ten can have the taxes on it paid with
out additional work for the tax collec
tor The 1914 roll required 392 pages
each page containing 20 lines.
The town lot roll was also divided
as the acreage roll and each town lot
in the many city additions was assessed
separately. The 1913 town lot assess
ment roll covered 3OS pages of 29 line
each and the 1914 roll covers 1888 pages
The total assessed valuation for thi
county last year was $43,629,958 ant
the valuation for this year will be ap
proximately that though there may b
a slight increase.

GOES BACK TO PRISON
TO STAY FOR LIFE

San Diego, Cal, July 3O.-After es-
Gaping three weeks ago from the Ari-
IONA state penitentiary at Florence in
hopes of working his way to Milan,
Italy, where his wife and babies are
facing starvation and want in his alb
sence, Alfonzo Fulgenzo, young ltal-
ian, was captured in San Diego today.
Fulgenzo will be taken back to Arl'
zona late today to serve the rest OF a
life term. He had already served two
years of his sentence and had been
promised probation at the end OF an
other year.
Fulgerza came to America about two
years ago. Working men in a railroad
camp near Phoenix joshed' him about
his broken speech. When he resented
their taunts, fight ensued. FulgenzC
fired half dozen shots and two Of hi:

Compact Which Binds Ger
many, Austria and Italy
An Unnatural One
ITALY IS AUSTRIA'S
TRADITIONAL ENEMY
While France, Against Whom
She Would be Forced TO
Fight, Is Firm Friend

Rome, July 30-Sentiment against
fighting on Austria IS side, no matter
what the rest of Europe may do in
connection with the present Austro-
Servian struggle, was spreading rapidly
throughout Italy today.
1t was not alone that the anti-mili-
tarists were stirring up opposition to
war at ALL The feeling was distinctly
hostile to Austria. If the Italians were
to take any hand whatever in general
struggle, it almost seemed as ii. II
would be against the German and Aus
trian alliance.
Politicians pointed out that the com
pact which binds Germany, Austria and
Italy together in theory, though il
might have advantages in some instan
ces, really is an unnatural one in the
present case.
Austria is Italy's traditional enemy
its oppression of the Italians in thu
north in the days before the union o.
the Italian states are remembered by
men still living and it still holds prov
inces which Italy believes are rightful
ly its own.
France Her Friend.
France, against which Italy woult
be expected to fight in the event of
general conflict, lent the Italians it
aid in throwing off the Austrian yoke
The queen of Italy is a princess o
Montenegro, which is already in arms
on Servia's side, against Austrif
Italy's relations with both Russia an
England are friendly. Its friendshi
with Germany has never been anythin
more than political.
All these things taken together hav
lined Italian sentiment up against wal
fare on the Teutonic side against tn
forces which will oppose them. The si
uation is one in which the governmer
and the popular view is the same.

THE STORY IN PARAGRAPHS.

Furious fighting on the Austro-Ser-
Wan frontier and an ultimatum from
Germany to Russia were the main de-
velopements in the European war stu
alton today.
Austrians tried to invade Servia at
Losnitza and were beaten back with
heavy loss.
A battle, begun yesterday, when the
Austrians attacked the Servians at Sc
mendria, was still raging.
An Austro- Servian artillery duel was
in progress at Kieznicy.
Austrians were reported to have at
tackled Montenegrin force at Mount
Lovehen.
Another report was that the Ser
vians were beaten and had 800 killed
at Foca, Bosnia, by an Austrian force
which lost 200.
Austrians were in possession Of Bel
grade, which they took Wednesday
night, meeting with little resistance.
The kaiser's ultimatum required the
czar to tell within "a hours why he was
mobilizing IA army corps and massing
them on the Austrian frontier.
Previously, Russian Foreign Minister
Sazonoff had said, in answer to the
German ambassadors protests, that
"the mobilization had gone too far to
stop now"

tion did not mean war-if Austria ceas.

Paris, July 3O.-" While leaving no
stone unturned to keep peace, France
is taking precautions" the newspaper
"Midi" announced here today.
There was no question that "precau.
tions" were being taken in view of q
possible general European conflict.
1t was announced that six army corps
were prepared for service. The expec-
tation is that 100000 men who finished
their terms of military service last year
would be recalled to the colors. Rail
roads, bridges and tunnels in the vicin-
ity of the German frontier were heavily
guarded. Aeroplane manufacturers were
| forbidden to sell machines to private
firms or individuals
President Poincare called Premier
Viviani and the other ministers into
conference with him at 8 a. m. This
session continued for two hours.
Laying in Supplies.
The government was laying in sup
plies of provisions as precaution
against famine, which it was felt might
be the natural sequel to the suspension
of production attending widespread hos
tilities, even in the absence of such
sieges as that of Paris, during the
Franco Prussian war.
The anti-militarists activities were
beginning to cause the authorities somt
annoyance today. Meetings which they
and various other revolutionary organ
izatiOns had called were prohibited anC
there were threats Of the arrest OF. per
sons engaged in trying to promote
general strike as means of paralyzinl
military operations.
French aviators were awaiting eager
ly a test of strength with Germany

The two military air schools nav
worked along radically different lines
The French have depended almost en-

the Germans, while not without fliers o
this type, have placed the most reliane
