Veterans Exemption
Not Until Next Year

An erroneous impression that has
stirred veterans and their wives OF
this city. and sent them hurrying to
the county auditors office was created
by news story sent out from Des
Moines and printed in the T.-R. OF
Thursday evening. This story was in
effect that veterans and their widows
will be deprived of tax exemption In
1916 under the new law. because they
We're not informed as to the law.
The story gave the impression that
the exemption from taxation. in
creased by the latest law on the sub
ject from 1920 TO Sl.500, was appli-
cable this year.
Such is not the case. The law in
creasing the exemption does not go
into effect until Jan. l. 1916. and
therefore il will not be applicable on
taxes until 1917.
Veterans and their widows. who
come under the special class who re-
ceive this exemption. should see that
they get an exemption of $1,000 when
their assessment is taken by the as
SCISSORS. If they fail to do so. then they
must file application for it with the
county auditor. Ii they fail 10 do that
by July l. then they still have until
Sept, next year 70 file the application
With the supervisors.

Proposal to Change Paving Speeifiea-

substitute crushed stone for gravel,
that the plan will not meet with favor.

pavement. II will, however. Under the
new law the council is authorized to
spread the cost of the pavement over
all property within 500 feet of it. but
not more distant than half way TO the
next street. AS a rule this would limit
the assessment being levied on prop
erty back $50 feet from the pavement.

EIGHT UNION men
BEHIND IRON BARS
(By United News Writers.)

TOY GN0Wb vAAtOAD.y
NEW YORK, June 1s-Eight lead
ers in the garnet trades unions in this
city are held behind good, solid steel
bars In the Tombs and they can't find
out who is charging them. with what.
OF course they know that they are
charged with murder, but they don't
know what is back of it all-they
don't know what the witnesses are
that have put them there, and if the
prosecutor can help it they wont
know until they come to trial.
Judge MulQueen is expected to rule
soon on whether the defense is to be
given the right to inspect the grand
jury minutes. The Judge is acting
real decent about the matter and says
that If he thinks there isn't sufficient
evidence In the grand jury minutes
to warrant the indictments he will
turn the minutes over for inspection.
But the union men have been in
cells now for eight weeks-and that's
a long time. One Of the strange things
about the whole case is that almost

City. Naturally enough, Lansing is
biased against the Mexican revolution
lists, It is said that Diaz learned many
tt ings in the way Of artistic subjuga-
ton Of the poems from Foster while
Foster was ambassador there.
At about the time that Woodrow
Wilson began to look to Lansing for
advice Duval West came back from
Mexico with his report. It now be-
comes clear that Lansing and West
agreed upon the new Mexican policy
and that Wilson agreed with them.
Duval West comes from Texas
where Mexican refugees have been
thrown into prison with wonderful dis
regard for law or anything else, and
where Mexicans have frequently been
held in prison a year and a half with
out trial. .
Lansing's accession to the portfolio
of secretary of state makes things
look doubly black for Mexican lib
erty.
And here are more facts that lool
black for Mexico. The Phelps-Dodge
company, heavily interested In Mext

heaviest contributors to the Wilson

CLAIRVOYANT ENDS
HER LIFE WITH GAS
Mrs. Elizabeth Hoffman Said
She Predicted Two Years Ago
That War Would Come

Mrs Elizabeth Hoffman, who had been
a clairvoyant IN this city for 80 years,
committed suicide today. She was G7
years old.
She lived at sos North Franklin street,
During her long career she had been
consulted by thousands of persons many
OF them prominent and rich, and 1t is re-
ported that she was wealthy. Neverthe-
less she had been in i'll health and today
she decided to end her life.
She sent her niece, Miss Ada Clark, with
whom she lived, out of the house ON an
errand. When Miss Clark returned. the
odor of gas attracted her to the bathroom.
There she found her aunts body, Mrs.
Norman held a rubber tube attached to
an open gas jet. in her mouth.
Mrs Hoffman had scarcely been dead
half an hour when persons who wanted
to have their fortunes told began their
daily visits to the house, The callers
were turned away with the announce
mcnt that the old fortune teller was dead.
Mrs. Hoffman started her work as a
cIairvoyant when she was II years old,
and had been AT 1t ever since She lived
in the Franklin street house for 20 years.
II is said that two years ago Mrs Hoff-
man made prophesy that a terrible
world catastrophe was impending. She
said the war in Europe was the fulfill
ment of her prophecy.
