MRS. CARMAN
DIRECTS SECOND
TRIAL HERSELF
BY N. c. PARkE.

(Sfdf Correspondent united Press.)
MINEOI.A, l.. l., May 3.-Coolly,
and without trace OF emotion. Mrs.
Florence caiman Is personally d.
recting every move In her second
battle for freedom. Stylishly gowned
she today sat beside her chief at
torney. George M. Levy and prompt
ed him In his questioning Of tales
men. Occasionally she onsulted a
notebook which she carried In her
purse.
II was expected that great difi-
Guilty would be experienced in Sc
lecting a jury. Most OF the men
questioned stated that owing to the
publicity attached to the case at
the time OF the first trial they had
formed opinions concerning 1t.
Attorney Levy admitted to news
paper men that he had several pho
tographs taken at the Carman home,
where Mrs. Louise Bailey was
killed. yesterday. He refused TO
state what these photographs were
or just what bearing they would
have on the case. They would be
introduced In evidence, he declared.
Rumors that were given consider
able credence we're circulated that
the prosecution also had some pho
tographs that would be introduced
as evidence. These were alleged to
have been taken before the crime
occurred last June.
District Attorney Smith, by his
line of questioning, indicated that
Celia Coleman, the Negro maid,
whose testimony at the previous
trial was 80 damaging to Mrs. Car.
man. would again be the states star
witness.
Attorney Levy. In questioning the
talesmen. referred very sarcastical-
ly to William ]. Burns. detective,
who was employed by the state to
unearth evidence against Mrs. Car
man.

FRAUDS OF
.TAx-DODGER
ENORMOUS
Millions Kept Off Rolls
Yearly, Says As
SCISSORS Clerk
DECLARES EVIL
GROWS RAPIDLY
Small Merchants Said
to be Among Worst
Offenders

Tax dodgers keep more than 38
per cent OF assessable personal prop
erty on the city tax rolls, accord
ing to statement made to the
Times by John j. Scott. chief clerk
In the assessors ONCE. The value
Of the personal property on the as
sessment rolls is about S137, 000, 900,
which Mr.. Scott figures is about 81
per cent Of the taxable personal
property In the city. Experts figure
that under the present system the
assessors ought to reach about rs
per cent Of all the personal prop
erty.
The assessors complain that they
have neither the time nor the men
to dig up personal property held out
by tax dodgers. Only As days time
is allowed the assessors to go over
the personal tax rolls. In that time
they have had to, this year. get out
1900 first notices and 7,100 second
notices to owners Of personal prop
erty.
THE assessors and their assist
ants have to spend most OF their
time assessing real estate" said Mr..
Scott.
ITO keep after the tax dodgers
there ought to be a special corps OF
trained men at work IL months in
the year. This work ought TO be de-
tailed to the present assistants OF
the assessors, and other men APP
pointed to work with the assessors
on real estate.
People seem to think that II is
good business to swear falsely to a
personal statement tax. We have
not the time to look up each state
ment. Those that We are almost
certain are false, are investigated.
and the results show the necessity
OF spending more time on personals.
Owners of expensive automobiles
will make statements and swear that
they have no cars. Merchants Will
swear that merchandise stocks are
worth about one-ffth their actual
value. One merchant swore that
HIS stock was worth $4,000. We In.
vestigated and found that his stock
was easily worth more than $4,000.
He then confessed to US that q
group Of MERCHANTS had held con-
ference and conspired to defraud the
city by swearing to false statements.
Two people were called before the
board OF review. Monday morning
The assessment of one was In.
creased 100000 over the amount he
named in his statement and the
other was given $4,000 increase
The practice OF tax lodging is grow.
ing so extensive that II is time steps
we're taken to jail some of these un.
scrupulous perjurers. II is possible
now for taxpayers to Offset almost
any kind OF paper mortgages. land
contracts, stocks. etc.-so that all
we will have left after the automo.
biles are taken of the rolls by state
law, Is merchandise stocks"

II came out OF the edge from the
Green Meadows. Peter watched.
Presently he caught another glimpse
Of II moving very slowly. very care

Danny Meadow Mouse lives.
Peter sat UP very straight and
watched. He knew perfectly wen
what that little red spot meant. he
knew that Reddy Fox was out hunt

II hope Danny Meadow Mouse has
got his eyes open"
Presently Reddy crouched down
and began to crawl on his stomach
Peter knew what that meant. he
knew that when Reddy does that
he Is usually very close to the one
he is hunting. Peter began To, get
anxious. II seemed TO him that he
Just couldn't sit still there and see

But what could he do! There wasn't

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.


Danny and Nanny thought OF moth
Ing but how happy they were. II
just didn't seem possible that there
could be danger where everything
was so beautiful.
Reddy Fox crept and crept nearer
and nearer without making sound
His yellow eyes were wido with the
excitement OF the hunt and with an
ticipation OF the good breakfast
which was not not moro than two
jumps away. He was just setting his
hind legs under him to make those
two jumps. when there was q sharp
scream right over his head. Peter
Rabbit over In the dear Old Brier
Patch heard that scream. II was the
harsh voice Of Sammy Jay. and he
was giving warning to Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse. No one had
noticed Sammy. Sitting in q tree
on the edge of the Green Forest.
he had watched Reddy Fox steal out
OF the Green Meadows and he had
waited to make sure that Reddy
really saw some one. Then on ST.
lent wings he had flown out until
he could see Danny and Nanny
Meadow Mouse. and just In the nick
Of time he had given them warn
ing.
That Is the way Sammy has OF
doing. Many and many q time has
he saved the lives of some Of his
little neighbors by giving warning Of
danger In just this way. or course.
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
scampered into their safest retreat
at the very first sound Of his voice.
or course. Reddy Fox flew into a
terrible rage and said unkind things
to Sammy Jay. and. OF course. Sam
my just laughed, for that also is a
way he has.
Over In dear Old Brier Patch Pc
ter saw all of this and gave great
sigh OF relief. Then he grew thought
full. II was only the day before he
had told Sammy Jay that there was
no good In him and so. OF course.
that he could not be Quaddy. Yet.
here was Sammy doing good deed
and saving Danny and Nanny Mouse
when no one else could. Peter sud,
denly made up his mind. He would
call another meeting OF the Quad.
dies at once.
