Same Conclusions.

Same Conclusions.
The conclusions OF both Mr. Dover
and Auditor Darst were practically
the same as that of the stat Tax Com
missioner. They were computed from
a different standpoint. however. the
auditor quoting from his report which
included certain funds due counties
and districts
Mr.. Dovers figures refuted state
ment published i'm Huntington news
paper relative to tine states finances.
The statement. which was referred to
on the floor OF the Senate by several
members. declared that a l5-cent di-
rect levy not only would care for the
Liabilities OF the next two years. but
would provide for the existing deficit,
and would leave surplus Of about
$500. UDu annually In the published
statement no allowance was made for
cost Of collecting discount and de-
linquenCies. no account was taken of
$4,000 that. according to the act Of
1903. Is required TO be transferred
from the state fund into the general
school fund during the next biennial
period, and no account was taken for
the uneSpended 1913 appropriations.
II only fow-cent levy were pro
yided. deficit Of Sl,51iOUO would
exist az the end Of the next biennial
period. instead Of surplus Of SGSG. $3.50
as quoted by the published statement,
Nr. Dover said.
The State Auditor insisted that the
Legislature should raise at least
sl.ooO."o0 additional revenue. In ad
dillon 20 caring for the existing de-
felt Auditor Darst urged that uro.
vision should be made for a WORKING
balance Of 100000 Ia $4,000 and

tional prohibition through the amend
ing Of the federal constitution was

SKULL is FRACTURED.
Minneola, N. ", July s.-Dr. Guy
Cieghorn, after performing an autopsy
on Hollis body at Hampstead, stated
that Holt had died of hemorrhaqe of
the brain caused by a depressed frac--
ture OF the skull. Doctor cIeshorn said
that he found large confused wound
which extended from the top of the
head to below the eyes, and that both
the top and base of the skull had been
fractured.
Doctor cIeghorn said that he found
no evidence of an explosion or bullet
wound.
Mineola, n. Y, July S.-Frank Holt.
the Cornell university professor who,
shot j. P. Morgan in his home near
Glen Cove several days ago, has com.
mitted suicide in the Jail here.
While several of the jail authorities
declared that Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the
top of his cell door and then plunging
to the narrow court below, Hollis keep
er said he was positive that the spris-
oner was killed in his own cell, where
he said he found the body.
There were many conflicting reports
as to the manner in which Holt met
his death, but it was definitely estab-
lished through Doctor Cleghorn. the
Jail physician, that Holt died of frac-.
tured skull.
Keeper Hears Loud Report.
Several of those about the jail said
they heard an explosion, the report
coming from Hollis cell. This noise,
it was believed, was due to the falling
of boards from the top of the cell.
Jeremiah Organ, the keeper who
was detailed to watch Holt, said ne
was Is feet away from the cell when
he heard loud report. He looked
in the direction of the cell, but it was
dark. Entering, he found Hollis body
in pool of blood in the corner
The excitement that followed the
noise brought Warden Hulse and other
jail authorities to the scene, District
Attorney Lewis ]. Smith and Doctor
Cleghorn, together with several con-
stables, were soon on the scene and
Immediately began an investigation
Death Caused by Fractured Skull.
Doctor Cleghorn denied report that
Holt had killed himself by chewing
percussion cap. He repeated that
death was caused by fracture at the
top of the skull. An explosion which
would have blown his head off would
have followed an attempt by Holt to
chew percussion cap, the physician
said. A thorough examination OF
Hollis cell failed to disclose, according
to the Jail authorities, any weapon or
implements of any kind which Holt
could have used to kill himself
Coroner Walter r. Jones, after view
ing the body, said:
Undoubtedly a suicide, and I'M
doubtedly the man jumped. | cannot
give an official version until an autop-
sly is performed by the Jail physician
DR.. Cleghorn."

RUSSIANS ARE MAKING STAND
SIavs Attacking in Strong Force in
Southern PoIand-Germans Deny
Batteship Sunk.

London, July 7. - Much activity is
apparent in all three elements where
the warning powers come into actual
contact, but reports as to results gen.
orally are contradictory. Berlin uses
a reliable source" for the denial that
German battleship Of the pre-dread-
nought type was sunk by Russian
submarine at the mouth of Danzig bay,
but the official report from Petrograd
on the occurrence is accepted as cor
rect by London, where resumption of
the naval operations in the Baltic has
been watched with intense interest.
Reading between the lines of the
various official reports, it is not diff
ficult to deduce that the Russians are
making a desperate stand between the
Rivers Pruth and Dniester.
Russians Attack Desperately.
Grand Duke Nicholas, commander
in chief of the Russian forces, reports
that the fighting in Southern Poland is
of the most desperate character, while
Vienna admits that the Russians are
attacking in strong force. Austro-Ger-
man sources, however, declare this ef-
fort to be forlorn hope.

Teuton Army Advances.

Petrograd, July General Macken-
sens army, which was unable to gain
the Russian position to the east of
Krasnik, has advanced along the front
between the River Wieprz and Kras-
mix on the road to Lublin in southern
Poland, it is officially admitted. The
Russian battleline is extended between
the Vistula and the Bug for about 60
miles. Mackensen's attempt to break
through to Lublin was conferred on a
38-mile section of the Russian defense
which is east and south of Lublin.
