ment said that in view of the ex- pense of further proceedings and the admitted personal and official integ- rity of Admiral Little, the findings merely had been dfsapproved without reconvening the court.
 "An important side light upon the attitude of Admiral Little in the per formance of his duties said the state ment, ''is shown by the testimony of Lieutenant Moses, wherein he states that Rear Admiral Little was not cas- fly approachable and that he, Moses was made to feel that his opinions and recommendations would preferably be made to Rear Admiral Little's assist ants; this attitude is furthermore ex- emplif1ed in Rear Admiral Litt1e's own testimony wherein he refers to Moses representations concerning the bat tery as kicks and wherein he states that they were kicking all the time about one thing or another"
 The statement said the department an officer and continued: "The court and honorably acquitted Rear Admiral Little of the charges. The department is unable to concur with the court or. after careful review of the evidence, to ascertain the reasons governing it in its acquittal. In view, however, of the inprac cticability and expense attending the re-convening of the court and the fact that Rear Admiral Little is now no longer on inspection duty and of the improbability of his method being

COUNTIES BUSINESS FOR YEAR
Commissioners Make Their Annual Report s255O Re ceived From Licenses $4. 1s4 Less Than in Preced ing Year-16s Liquor, Beer and 3s Druggist Licenses -$66532.50 Went to Town Treasurer and $7,3925o to County Treasurer.


 The annual report of the business of the county with the annual report on licenses, both for the year ending Sept. 30, 1915, has been completed by the county commissioners, who are Fred J. Brown of Lebanon, chairman; i; Charles H. Smith of Noank, secretary. and Albert H.. Lanphear of Water ford.
 Receipts.
 It shows that the year was started with a balance of $12,097.S2 on hand in the county treasury and that the receipts from all sources were $42,- e10.79 which is $33,76S.7S less than the receipts year ago.
 Such large difference in receipts is accounted for partly by the fact that last year there was a county tax that amounted to over $3S,000, and this year there was none. Receipts through the jail the past year were $14, ,360.54, where they were $15, 142.2S the preceding year, the 10 per cent. from licenses amounted to $7,392. 50 in contrast to -$7, ,S05.95 and there was SIS, ,867.7S received from the state for county home, which was $13,026.99 a year ago..
 In the receipts at the jail there was about S5S0 less received from the state than a year ago and the earnings from prisoners was about S215 less.
 The amount of $5,000 was borrowed on a note from the Norwich Savings society, increasing the county indebt- edness from $S2,0 ,000 to $s7,00o.

 Secretary Daniels said his chief req son for disapproving the action was because he wished to impress on old CT officials the necessity of giving full weight to the recommendations of their juniors.
 Lieutenant Moses was on duty, in preparation for taking command of the vessel when commissioned. Testi- mony at the courtmartial, which con vened at Boston, November 1, showed that Moses complained of bad work manship in installation of the boats storage batteries. Examination of sew eral cells showed lead drops in them. Moses wished more cells examined, but Admiral Little accepted the boat from her builders on the contractors as- surance that the batteries would be repaired without charge should they later prove defective. The contractor now is repairing the batteries with out cost, although under no legal ob- ligation to do so.
 The K-2 was accepted in January, 1914. Rear Admiral Little's court martial was ordered by Secretary Dan iels October 16 on reports of her off, cers detailing the inperfections of her batteries.

 Billiard is no more a proper figure in this case than is the Second Ma tional Bank of New Haven, which was the clearing house for the Billiard com pany transactions" protested the de- fense.
 Attorney Batts held that the trans cealment of the New Haven's owner ship in order to render it's owner ship secure until the Massachusetts legislation had been passed.
 MT. Mellen will deny" said Batts, "that the New Haven controlled every security held by the Billiard company. but we will, nevertheless, prove it by him.
 In leading up to the Billiard deal, the government questioned the witness on
  vestment and Security company. about SIG, ,00o, ,000, worth of whose gold notes were used in the Billiard company transactions. This concern, it was brought out, was organized as "a vol untary trust" with New Haven di rectors as trustees-for the taking over of the New Haven's trolley properties in Massachusetts at a. time when the question was being agitated whether the New Haven had a right under the law to hold trolley properties in that state. Dividends were to be guaran- teed to the directors by the New Eng land Navigation company, another New Haven company.
 This" said MT. Mellen, twas a palpable device and it was decided that the trustees should buy their stock in the company outright and this they did, putting up the cash" In. this manner, the witness contended. the New England Investment company severed its relations with the New Haven.

This may very easily be the ultimate result if proper scalp treat ment is not taken at once. All ex- cessive loss of hair can be almost immediately stopped by the use twice daily of a little Parisian Sage, which inyigorates and nourish the slowly dying hair roots into renewal of healthy normal action. New hair quickly grows on the thin spots. old hair stops falling and the difference is apparent in few days by the very look of the hair itself taking a new life, lustre and beauty.

SMALL INCREASE 1915

On account Of new state laws which
remove ad yalorem tax from physical
oil properties and automobiles the to-
tai assessed valuation Of Tulsa county
this year probably will show little if
any increase over the valuation Of
1914.
Figures available at the office Of
County Assessor X. E. Curran, while
not tabulated or tOtaled as yet, indi-
cate that the total 1915 valuation will
amount to about fifty-fiye million
dollars.
The valuation last year amounted
to $53,9O2,740, and while there is an
actual increase this year the assess
ment rolls will not show it, as auto
mobiles and oil properties to the ex-
tent of two million dollars or more
will not be included.
The tax levy for all purposes last
year amounted to 49O mills. which
produced "A total revenue Of about two
hundred siXty-fiye thousand dollars.
one serious slice in the total yalua-
ton was brought about last year when
the board Of equalization reduced the
assessment Of the banks 20 per cent.
The board did this on the theory that
residences are not assessed their full
value and on the same reckoning the
banks should only be Assessed on an
so per cent basis. This action Of the
board Of equalization may possibly be
annulled by the state board Of equal.

amounted to the enosmous sum OF

the state auditor. Ed Dalton. former
county assessor, was given credit for
the amount named last year. although
the law requiring return TO the state
auditor instead OF the county was
