PARACOULD SENDS
CASH TO NEWPORT
C. w. Stedman Collects $11250
For Relief of Flood Sufferers =
Elks Gave $25.

Through the efforts of G. w.
Stedman subscription list was
hurriedly circulated in the business
section of the city this morning
and $112.50 was donated for the
relief of the flood sufferers at
Newport Of this amount the Elks
Lodge contributed $25.0O. The
money was turned over to H. M.
Jackson of The Daily Press, who
left Paragould this afternoon for
Newport, and he will deliver the
checks to Chas. G. Henry, cashier
of the Arkansas National Bank of
Newport Mr.. Henry is chairman
of the relief committee.
"A telephone message was receiv-
ed in Paragould this morning from
a member of the relief committee
stating funds were badly needed
in Newport. Responding to this
call Mr.. Stedman went among the
business men of the city and COZ
lected $3.50, which was supple
mented with the contribution of
$25 from the Elks lodge.
Little Rock and Jonesboro are
sending food supplies and cash, but
they have not been able to contrib
ute enough to relieve the distress.
The citizens of Paragould should
contribute not less than $500 to
the flood sufferers and Mr.. Sted-
man says he will gladly receive
cash donations from the people
here and forward the funds at
once to the chairman of the relief
committee at Newport.
Mr.. Stedman said only two men
turned him down when he was
making the rounds this morning.
They said they did not believe there
was enough distress in Newport to
necessitate outside aid, and insist
ed it was practically impossible for
people to suffer in a city as large
as Newport. They further argued
that a wall could be built around
Paragou1d and the people here
could live at least four days with
out feeling the pangs of hunger.
These men intimated they might
contribute one dollar each after
they had made sufficient investiga-
tion on their own account to sat
isfy themselves the flood victims at
Newport were really in need of
outside aid.

FAVORED GERMANY;
KILLED BY SLAVS
Gary. (Ind.) Minister'S Body Found
Dead, With Bullet Holes In
Neck And Chest.

Gary, Ind, Aug. 25.-The muir
der of the Rev. Edmund Kayser,
pastor of the st. James Lutheran
church in Tolleston, suburb,
whose body was found near his
home last night, occupied the at
tention of the local police today.
The preacher recently had ap-
pealed to the police, threats having
been made against him because of
his pro-German utterances. The
body was found in a vacant lot ad-
joining the minister's home in d
community of Slav steel workers.
There was a bullet wound in the
throat. A window cord was wound
tightly about the neck. The Rev.
Mr.. Kayser was born in Bavaria 40
years ago.
The police believe the preacher
was murdered as he sat in his
study. A cord, apparently twisted
out of a lace curtain, was close
ly wound around the neck and 9TH
,ers were about the wrists. 1t was
the evident intention of the assail-
ants to chastize the minister. When
he resisted, he is believed to have
been shot and his body taken to
the vacant lot, where it was found.
Bullet wounds also were found
in the minister's breast.

SEVERE HARDSHIPS

Newport, Aug 26-2 P. M.-(Specal to The Press)
While some relief has been given the five thousand
marooned inhabitants of Newport by the receipt of food
suffs from Little Rock and other points, there is still
much suffering only in Newport but among the hum
dreds of people in the surrounding country.
This morning several boat loads of supplies were
of Newport be distributed the farmers
who marooned So far the foodstufs have consisted
only of canned goods and while this character of
tenance prevents actual suffering is sufficiently
nourshng to prevent hardships and illness The relief
committee headed by c. G. Henry, cashier of the Ar
kansas Bank and by the mayor has made appeal for
funds which are badly needed In the way of pro-
visions the committee asking for vegetables, flour and
meats.
Lack of pure water has been of the most serious
problems contend with. The situation in this respect
was somewhat relieved yesterday when two loads
of water reached here from Little Rock.
The stage of the water is thrtytwo feet, fall

Colorado Tax Commission Recon-
mends Changes In Forty-Fivs
Counties Under New
State Law,

Denver.-The valuation Of taxable
property in Colorado this year will be
within q few million dollars OF last
year. according to the State Tax Com.
mission. In view OF the fact that the
valuation Of Denver shows q decrease
of approximately $4,000. 900. this will
mean an improved showing by the
other counties of the state. The to
tai valuation last year was Sl.306. O00.-
900. The only two large increases or
dered by the state commission are for
Denver. $50. 4oS.s $50. and Weld county.
37.s04.00
Increases in about forty-five coun-
ties were recommended to the various
county boards by the tax commission.
In most counties the raises suggested
are comparatively slight ones. Those
in Denver and Weld counties are the
largest.
The recommendations were made
under the amendment to the state
constitution adopted by the people at
the last state election, which IL now
in effect for the first time.
1t allows the county boards Of
equalization to equalize the assess
ments n made by the local assessor
