To demonstrate that apple pie had

POLICE HARD AT WORK
Marshal Salisbury Receives Threaten"
ing Letters and His House Was
Barricadcd Last Night,

Providence, Spt. 1.-The private
safe in the law office Of Judge Willis
S. Knowles, murdered at Sc!tuate on
Labor Day, was opened today and it
was hoped by police officials evidence
that might throw light on the jurlsts
slayer would be found. Horace Know
les. a brother of the dead judge, and
Chief InsL ector 0'Neil, OF the Porvl-
dence police, were present when the
safe was opened.
A search of the Judges desk and
letter files was also made in the hope
of finding clue that would aid the
3oicc in running down the latest de-
rclopments in the mysterious case.
The names of d prominent attorney,
now said to reside in Cambridge
Mass. the husband and brother OF
Il woman the judge was said to be
deeply interested in. and 4 young wo-
man of this city whom the Judge had
promised to marry, according to rc-
port. were linked in clues the police
were working on today.
Another development in the r1ys-
ceriouS shooting came today when
woman from tcW York who arrived
here late last night stated she was
going to visit the judges home and
attempt TO ascertain facts regard
ing his shooting. The woman said
Judge Knowles was "dear to me be-
cause Of friendly advice in litigation"
and declared she had no husband who
would be angercd over her acqualn-
tance with him.
II certain evidence was found
among the judges effects during the
search Of his Office it was felt by the
police today the mystery surrounding
his death would ne quickly solved.
In the meantime, Marshal Salisbury
Judge Knowles most intimate friend
was in fear Of Il similar death and his
home at Scituatc was barricaded last
night. It is said he has received let
tcrs threatening his life.
Salisbury was one Of the first per-
sons to connect the name of Henry
Edwards with the shooting Of Judge
Knowles and it was said that friends
of the yourg Scituate hunter had IN
foyncd Salisbury he woul meet 4 like
death at the first opportunity.

DEMAND FOR RECALL
ambassador Dumba Not Surprised At
Action of United States

New York, Sept. 11-Ambassador
Dumba told friends yesterday he did
net expect his government would re-
place him with another official Of full
ambassadorial rank. He expects the
appointment of one Of his staff to ACT
as charg d'affaires until the end Of the
war. 1t was accordingly reported that
Baron Erich Zw:cdinck Won SUDDEN

Dr.. Dumha was also quoted as say
no he did not believe WaShngton'S
request for his recall would disturb
the friendly relations between his
government and the United States,
Although Austria ia-IIunGary may sup
port his position in spirit it does not

sus Of opinion in official circles is that

James +. J. Archibald. the hear
er of the discriminating correspond
cnce.
Tie case of Dr.. Dumba, therefore,
appears to have developed into the
most sensational incident OF its kind
in American diplomatic history.
The growing opinion is that the
United States will he forced to ask
Germany to recall Capt. Won Papen'
FOR two reasons: That he has been
shown by the intercepted letter from
Dr. Dumba to the Austrian foreign
Office to have been equally interest
ed in the plan to cause disturbances
IN American munitions factories: and
hat in letter he wrote to his wife
he referred slurringly to this govern

JULIUS GRAHAM IN CITY
Representa- alive of State Pure Food

thy Accumulation.

julius Graham, Of the Pure Health
Department Of the State. has made
another unexpected visit 20 AlcXan-
dria. He brought TO light offensive
garbage on the premises occupied by
a restaurantcur near the Market
House. and in a short time the putrld
mass was covered with lime.
Mr.. Graham later made an inspcc-
ton of the toilets in the market court,
and found them, as is usual, in an un-
sanitary condition and filing the air
with offensive odors. He says he Will
close all the fish and vegetable stands
in the court until these conditions
have been remcdicd.
In regard to putrid accumulations IN
several sections Of the city, it is sug-
restcd that garbage carts used upon
the streets are not equal to the oc-
casinn. 1t is claimed that their num-
bcr should be augmented as soon as
possible. The area Of the city it twice
AZ rrcat as il was this time last year.

should be conducted under more sat
isfactory auspices than ut present.

EXAMINERS TO
Defer ACTION
State Advisory Board Sets
Breaks on Investiga-
tors of Records
RICHMOND SUFFERS
Capital City Made to Face Burdens
Other Sections of Commonwealth
Are Released From.

Richmond, Sept. IL Gently, but
firmly. in an admonishing circular Is
sued yesterday, the State ADVISORY
Board on Taxation lays a restraining
hand upon certain examiners OF the
records, whose eagerness to pile up
fat fees while the season for plling
I'D such fees is open has been SO OBJ
yious that it melted resentment and
protests in some parts Of the State.
The open season will end January J.
1916. From that date the law restricts
the total annual fees of examiners to
$2,5O0.
Some of the examiners of records,
it is disclosed, have devoted their time
largely to delving into omitted taxes
of the past, and have earned enormous
fees thereby. Some Of these energetic
officials have employed large clerical
forces, and are in a position to resent
any charge that may be brought that
they neglected this years work while
digging up the mass of omitted items
of taxation dating back many years.
Others, in the opinion of the protest
tants, gave their time to omitted tax
es of years past at the sacrifice OF
this years assessments.
That the State Advisory Board is
greatly impressed by this complaint
is indicated in these excerpts from
the circular, which are given the en-
phasis of black, bold-faced type:
"The State Board, therefore, urges
all taxing officers at this time to give
all efforts and time to the assess
ments for the current year.
The State Board is now devoting its
entire time to the assessments for
the current year, and advises and in
sists that commissioners of the rev.
enue, examiners of records and local
boards of review do the same"
1t is not disputed that the energetic
examiners of records have acted with
in the law. in piling up their fees: The
Acknowledgement, in an opinion rem
dered July 2, held that omitted tax
es; might be probed as far back as
1876.
Richmond interests will have to
bear a burden of taxes enormously
greater than other cities, since many
millions of dollars in omitted taxes
have. been dug up hy Major William
n. Sands. Examiner Of Records for
this district, But it is because the
Richmond examiner. has been more
energetic in discovering these omit
ted items. 1t is estimated that MS dis
coverIes of omitted taxable values.
dating back many years. will net him
between $4,000 and $4,000 in COM
missions. After the first day of next
year, however, his earnings will be
limited by law to SZ,ouV year. lh"I
large interests in other cities have
not been called upon to this time to
account for omitted taxes of past
wears in the same proportion as Rich-
mond is due, not to what the Rich
mond examiner has done, but to what
the other examiners, less energetic
have not done.
The belief.is expressed in some quar-
,ers that the coming General Assem-
bly, may place a limitation on delvina
into past conditions. and so exempt
other sections of the State from pay
ing their proportionable share of the
taxes such as Richmond is called on
at this time to meet.
