Smiles Don't swerve Jury.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-"The
suggestion that smiles may be used
by a woman prosecutor to sway a
jury is tomfoolery. The average fed.
eral jury is made up OF hard-headed
business men They refuse to be
swayed either by smiles or tears I"
This was the declaration today of
Mrs. Annette Abbott Adams, recently
appointed assistant United States
district attorney here, and the only
woman ever employed as a prosecu.
tor by the United States government.
Mrs. Adams recently obtained her
first conviction here when jury in
United States Judge Dooling's court
found Louis Butler. negro, guilty of
robbery on the high seas. Mrs. Adams
conducted the prosecution unassisted
and Butler was sentenced to serve
eight months in the Alameda county
Jail. He was accused of stealing Sis
from Otis Scruggs on the United
States transport Sheridan.

Adams continued. 'fIf haG the choos-
ing OF my life work over again, I

"a woman can be just as success
full as prosecutor as man. The
convictions + obtain never bother me.
l have never yet remained awake at
night, thinking of the man who has
been sent to jail as result OF my
efforts. In my position as an assist
ant federal attorney, am never call
ed upon to prosecute unless 1t is al
most certainty that the victim is
guilty of the charge. One United
States commits sioner and two juries
pass upon his guilt before I obtain
his conviction and before he is sent
to Jail. That SHOULD be sufficient to
relieve any pangs OF regret l might
have If tn, person am prosecuting

anyone / did not believe was guilty.

as an impersonal thing. do not feel
that / am prosecuting the individual
but the crime. One thing I am CD
posed to Is the drawing of confess
sion from a prisoner with the promise
of q light sentence.

asserted, the most glazing inequalities
existed, not only between county and
county, but between municipality and
municipality. He cited the case of
Overpeck Township, in Bergen Coun-
ty, where the personal assessments
were three per cent. of the total as
sessments, while in the municipality
adjoining Borough of Bogota, the as
SCISSOR pursued the owner of personal
property so assiduously that over
Twenty-Five per cent of the whole as
sessment roll was made up of personal
estate.
'No assessor in the State, so far as
l can discover" said Senator Hen
Messy, "makes any real attempt to
obey the law which says that all prop
A large amount of property is not
assessed at all because the assessor
doesn't see it. Even as to the tangible
things, such as stocks of goods, ma
chinery and the like, the assessor just
makes a guess as to value and let's it
go at that, and this unscientifc and
haphazard system leads necessarily to
all sorts of inequalities between citi-
zen and citizen. In some places zeal
Gus assessors, as in Passaic, Mid
dlesex and Essex counties, pursue the
manufactures with special fines upon
his industry by heavy taxes upon his
machinery and equipment and upon
his goods in process of production,
while in other places an implied bonus
is given to the business man by light
taxes upon his invested capital and
his stock in trade"
Pennsylvania Plan
Senator Hennessy laid stress upon
the fact that Pennsylvania was offer
ing superior advantages to manufac-
turing industry by reason of lighter
taxes of all kinds upon business and
a greater concentration of taxes upon
land values. Machinery and factory
equipment, as well as goods in process
OF manufacture are not taxed, and the
Pennsylvania assessor seldom dis
covers any stock in trade on the mer-
chants shelves. Last year the Penn
sylvania Legislature passed an act
permitting second class cities to re-
duce the rate Of taxes upon buildings,
exclusive of land, until the building
tax rate was only one-half that of the
land tax rate. Pittsburg and Scran-
ton are now taking advantage of this
law, with the result that they will
soon have extraordinary advantages
to offer to both manufacturer and the
builder.

General Miles, at the banquet of the

1t came from Abraham Lincoln and

because it was the tribute of one of
the two greatest men in the rebublic

but later when bids on the books were
received they were all thought to be
too high. and the bids We're refused.
Two committees were then appointed

that books are distributed as cheap as
we can have them"
Governor Stuart scored heavily with
the committee when he said he did not
approve of frequent changes in text
books used in the public schools unless
such changes were absolutely ncccS-
sary. The Governor explained that in
many large families school books. like
clothes. can be handed down from one
child to another. and parents may real
lie a substantial saving by the pro-
cess.

QUESTIONED AS no
COST OF DISTRIBUTION

Mr.. Stearnes was questioned by Sena-
| tor Cannon. OF Richmond regarding
the cost of distributing textbooks in
( Nirginia. 1t was brought out that
20 per cent on the wholesale price is
charged in Virginia for distribution,
while THE rate in Ohio is only 10 per
cent, and in Kentucky from 10 TO Is
per cent. our rate of distribution is
probably too high" said Superinten-
dent Stearnes. and we are investigat-
ing that now"
The Virginia Book Company acts as
distributing agent in Virginia, receiv-
ing books from the publishers then
distributing them TO the various deal
"rs throughout the State. In Ohio and
some other States the State bears n
part OF the cost OF distribution
ON examination, Mr.. Stearnes said
that in every instance where apparent
determinations had been discovered,
letters requesting an explanation had
been sent TO the publishers and replics
had been received purportng to eX-
plain the discrepancies. Mr.. Stearnes
explained that these letters had not
proven that there have been no dis
examinations, and that the board is
