DINNER AND PICNIC
 FOR WAR SUFFERERS
Italians Plan Event for the Benefit of War Widows
 and Orphans

The Italians of the Birmingham dis trict are expected to turn out by the thousands to the big picnic and spa ghetti dinner today at the fairgrounds. The big picnic is being given for the benefit of the Italian widows and orphans of the great European war and almost the entire Italian populace is expected to turn out and assist in this work as well as to have a big day
 According to P. J. Serio, the gen eral chairman of the committee, there will be in round numbers more than 5000 persons in attendance. The pie nic is to start at 2 o'clock and last until II o'clock this evening. gen eral admission fee of 50 cents will be charged. ladies free. There will be for sale all kinds of refreshments, the pro- ceeds of which will go to the war cause. A number of games and other a amusements have been arranged.
 The fairgrounds have been given over to the Italians for the day gratis and brass band from Blocton will provide the music.
 One of the greatest attractions or the day probably will be the Italian dances. The dancing pavilion will be brought into action, while good music will be furnished by 3o-plece or CheStra.

basis of present possible income instead of depending upon warranted hope Of future growth.
 That is the best test of the real value of any property income will it bring? The county board ad- mits that it has paid but little atten- tion to rents. In fact, all three mem bers of the board are real estate sales men, and not rental agents, and we fear they have been influenced more by the property owners asking price for his land than by its income possi- bilities.
 Equalization is just as fair as among the various counties Of the state as it is among neighbors in the same block in the city. But what has been the equalization experience in Alabama during the past 10 years?
 Tn 1906 Jefferson county was as sessed at s570O000O Cround figures}, and in 1915 at $147,000.000, an increase of $S9, 900, ,000, or 156 per cent, which is an average of IS per cent a year.
 'In 1906 the other 66 counties of Ala bama were assessed at $316, 300 and in 1915 had been increased to s479.- 000,000, an increase of $162, 100000, or 51 per cent, which is an average in- crease of per cent per year. Look at these figures carefully: An $S9,000, 900 increase for Jefferson and $162,- UVO,OOO TOT the remainder CT the state, and we don't know any arguments that can justify these figures
 'The state taxing authorities prob ably claim that the other counties of the state will be raised and Jefferson county will have to be increased also.
 We can only judge the future by the past. The other 66 counties have been very successful during the past 10 years in resisting the efforts of the state taxing authorities and have held their raises down to 5 per cent year. We venture the assertion that when the assessments for 1916 are completed they will show the same old per cent average increases that has pr evailed In the past
 "In other words, we are contending for a fair play for Jefferson county. If the county board gives it to us, well and good. If not we believe in talk ing the cases to the circuit court and letting the people of the county, who comprise the juries fix the values
 Just for variety, why not let the people of Jefferson county off once in awhile wit a per cent average raiser"

18,OOO TAXPAYERS ARE RAISED UNDER EQUALIZATION PLAN Another Statement Issued by Real Estate Exchange
 on Tax Situation
COUNTY INCREASED / 15 PER CENT AVERAGE
 FOR PAST NINE YEARS
Other Counties of State Have Beer Increased , Per Cent Average During the Same
 Period

The Birminham Real Estate exchange yesterday issued another statement re- garding the recent tax raises In Jeffer- son county, in which some interesting facts regarding the tax situation are given. The statement reads:
 There are some details regarding the present tax situation which we think our critics have not had occasion to study as thoroughly as they might have done, but which we real estate people in the very nature of our busi- ness have to deal with nearly every day. Our Real Estate exchange has for its motto, A Square Deal,' and it was with the idea of getting an even break, so to speak, for the clients we representation the holdings of the real estate men themselves are comparative ly small-that we have undertaken to call the attention of the people to the serious condition of their tax assess ments as they now stand as a result of the county boards work.
 Tax Assessor McLendon estimates that 1S,000 taxpayers in Jefferson coun- ty have been raised by the board, and he is getting out notices of these raises as faSt as possible. So far he has gone from the As to the Hs in the assess ment list and has to go on through the alphabet before June 19.
 ''On that date the county board be- gins a session of five weeks in which they are to hear these 1S,000 cases If they work 10 hours a day that will be about 300 hours in all, or 60 cases an hour they must try, which is one case a minute! We think our critics will agree with us that if the taxpayer ex- poets any relief from the board he had better be getting ready. The board has not yet announced in just what order the cases will be taken up, and what the procedure will be.
 Equalization is supposed to be the keynote of the new tax law. We have always admitted there were serious discrepancies among the assessments of Jefferson county, and offered our ser vices in correcting them. But there is a great difference between a real equal ization of assessments and the $40,000,- 900 or $50,000,000 increase for Jefferson county which the board proposes
 "We contend that any material in- crease in the total assessments of Jefferson county is not warranted by any rule of reason or fair play. Here is what MT. Percy says On this sub ject in a recent interview: It will be difficult fairly to assess property in this community because the honest truth is that values of much of our property have been inflated and fic- titious. Birmingham is not going to and values must be adjusted to the

KITCHEN IS WINNER
 BY LARGE MAJORITY
House Leader RenOminated in North Carolina Pri-
 maries- Wilson Leads

Raleigh, N C., June 3.-Attorney General T. W. Bickett had a slight
 lead over Lieutenant Governor Daught- ridge for the democratic gubernatoria1 nomination on returns from 25 out of 100 counties received from today's statewide primaries up to midnight.
 Although rain cut down the size of the vote long ballot made the count slow.
 Representative Claude Kitchin, demo- cratic floor leader in the House of Rep resentatives, was renominated in the
 Second district, defeating Clingman w. Mitchell by a big majority. L. D. Rob- inson of Wadesboro apparently had a slight lead over H. R. Warner of Lex
 ington for representative from the Sec
 ond district to succeed Representative
 Page, who declined to stand for re- election because he disagreed with
 some of President Wilson's policies. Sixth district where Representative Goodwin is having a fight for renomina- tion. The other democratic congress- men were unopposed. There were no contests on the republican ticket, that party having previously agreed upon a ticket headed by Frank A. Linney of Boone for governor.
 President Wilson boiled a heavy vote
 on the preferential ballot on the demo- cratic side and Theodore Roosevelt was reported as leading among the repub- licans.

FIRST OFFICIAL DETAILS

London, June 3.-The first official account in detail of the North sea bat tie was given to the Associated Press today by a high official at the ad- miralty. It was noticeable that among admiralty officials who, of course, have access to all the official reports the opinion was general that the depression caused by the first ar nouncement of the result of the engagement was not jus tihied. in the light of subsequent de- tails.
 The Associated Press Is informed that future details will have even a more heartening effect than the news given out today
 The admiralty is especially cautious about stating German losses giving only those which are reported officially or admitted by the Germans, meanwhile awaiting details in reports from Of hcers who participated in the action.
 It would have been impossible to anticipate the German answer in re- gard to the battle received here by wireless yesterday afternoon, but the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-04

British admiralty did not receive de- tails until after Admiral Jellicoe reached port and frankly issued the in- formation which was in it's possession.
 EXpurgating only such portions of wireless reports as might be of assist ance to Great Britain's enemies the ad- miralty official gave the following de- tails of the great naval fight:
 We can only say that we were look ing for fight when our fleet went out. Stories that it was decoyed by the Germans are sheerest nonsense. In a word, with an inferior fleet, we an- gagged the entire German high sea fleet interrupted their plans and drove them back into their harbors.
 Tn carrying out the plan decided upon, we sustained heavy losses which we expected"
 This official also said:
 But we exercised caution and at tained the sought-for plans of forcing the enemy to abandon his objective and seek refuge after we had given bat tie in his own waters, near his coast.
 With the exception of two divisions, part of which was only partly engaged, the brunt of battle was born by the bat tie cruiser fleet and with one exception our battle fleet is ready for sea service must admit that we had exceptionally hard luck with our battle cruisers but the loss of these great ships does not in any measure cripple our control of the

BATTLE HAD FOUR PHASES

The great battle had four phases The hrst opened at 3:1o p. m., when our bat tie cruisers at range of six miles joined action with the German battle cruisers. Shortly afterward the second phase be- gan with the arrival on both sides of bat tleships, the Germans arriving first. But before their arrival our three battle cruisers had been blown up supposedly the result of gunfire, although possibly they met their fate frCrl torpedoes.
 Such close range fighting with battle cruisers might be criticized as bad tac- tics, but our fleet following the tradi- tions of the navy went out to engage the enemy, and of course under such weather conditions could do so only at short range"
 ''The~ third phase was the engagement of battleshtps, which never was more than partial. This prase included a run ming fight as the German dreadnaughts fled toward their bases. All the big ship fighting was over by 9:15 p. m
 Then came one of the most weird features of the batte as German de- stroyers made attack after attack, like infantry following artillery preparation on our big ships. But these onslaughts were singularly futile, not single tor pedo launched by them getting home.
