The speakers said that all state
departments and accounts should be
audited IS & matter Of principle, for
expenditures now are $327,700 greater
for the biennial period Of 19l3-i6 than
for the Biennial period of 190o-O6.
The Tax Problem.
Speaking of the financial problems
of the state, Dr.. Brough called at
tention to the fact that the tax levy
for the state government in 1905 was
1 ga mills, while in 1913 it was N
mills, and the state 100000 in debt.
He further said that state warrants
are now being peddled in Little Rock
at "a cents on the dollar He adVo-
tcated no long issue Of bonds, but
short notes, and one-fourth mill as a
sinking fund.- He stated that econ
omy, and an auditing committee
would bring the states expenses
within it's income and cited West Viz
gina as an example. lie stated that
quarter mill for the sinking fund
would not be added to the general
levy. which he would reduce to two
mills and keep it there. He declared
that if all the property in the state
were on the textbooks at 30 per cent
valuation it would not be necessary
to go further in the taxation ques-
ton, and advocated township deputy
assessors He said the stock OF Al
kansas farmers is the only property

material could be obtained. One by
one buildings which cost from 500, 4
0oo to $500 900, already Quilted by the
flames, tumbled with a roar to add
to the debris in the streets.
At one time during the night. about
o'clock change OF wind and
signs of rain gave hope that the fire
soon would be under control The
fire had extended to the west side of
the public square at that hour. and
was consuming the courthouse, the
new federal building and the new high
school. From that time until morning
the flames spread in a west and
northwest direction, burning an add
tional 2O-odd blocks, and from eight
| to nine hundred residences.
In the business section there are
left only smaller stores Oh side
streets radiatng from the public
square.
Telephone People Busy.
In these stores Paris business men
opened establishments this morning
to care for the needy. In one brick
| building, less than 80 feet wide and
about 100 feet long, were located a
branch office of the telephone COM
pany. for long distance service, a
temporary telegraph office, consisting
of key and sounder placed on a
shelf: hastily constructed apothe-
cary shop, and on the other side, a
small store of dry goods and clothing,
which was in great demand by those
| who had lost most of their apparel in
| the flames.
There were fully one hundred peo-
pie waiting for the opening of the
telephone station. Conversations were
limited to two minutes each. or this
hundred at least &C were business
men, storekeepers and hotel and res
taurant keepers, bent on doing their
early morning shopping by long dis
lance to several points nearby. 1t
was planned to have large quantities
OF bread and other necessities concen-
! trated at Dallas, Fort Worth, Bon
ham, Greenville and other cities, for
quick dispatch here OH special trains
and fast express.
Victims Resent Outside Aid.
There was an apparent feeling of
resentment among some citizens in
the matter of asking for outside aid
In spite of the calamity and the great
loss of homes, the instantaneous cut
ting Off of food supplies, the bulk
of Paris residents felt that they could
depend on their own resources for
taking care of themselves.

SHERIFF TONEY RESIGNS.
Hands His Resignation to Judge Bur-
nett and It Is Accepted.

Friday Sheriff 6. w. Toney handed
his resignation to County Judge G. P.
Burnett and informed Judge Burnett
at the same time that he wished to re-
turn to the republican party of the
county the nomination they gave him
through primary election March 70.
Judge Burnett accepted the reslgna-
ton of Sheriff Toney and Monday a
mass meeting was called and the party
authorized the county executive COM
mittee to select a candidate. The date
set for the meeting Of the county COM
mittee is Saturday, June II. Else
where IN this issue Will be found the
call as issued by Chairman A. l.. Gar
rison.
The mass meeting was called to order
by Chairman A. L. Garrison and the
object of the meeting stated. Judge
6. p. Burnett made brief talk ex-
planning the situation and closed by
offering a resolution that the conven-
ton authorize the county committee to
select candidate to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Sheriff
roney. The motion was seconded by
Jere Morrow ana was passed unani-
mousIy. The convention then adjourn

Sheriff Toney was serving his second
term in Office. Some months ago he
rendered his resignation to Judge Bur-
nett and it was accepted. When the
county court met to select his successor
he came before the court aud admitted
that he had yielded to the influence of
intoxicants on some occasions, but that
he had determined to do so no more and
asked that he be reelected. After a
few ballots he was selected by the
court. He made the campaign before
the people for the republican nomina-
ton and was successful by a majority
of 1873 votes. Owing to several things
that have transpired recently Sheriff

CRossvILLE. TENNESSEE. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7. 1916.
GREAT NAVAL BATTLE.
English and German Fleets Suffer, But
Advantage With Germans.

Last Wednesday the greatest naval
battle IN history was fought in the
North Sea between the English and
German fleets. The English admit the
loss of fourteen war vessels and the
Germans seem to have lost about the
same number, but their tonnage Is
much less.
The English admit the loss of three
battle cruisers. three cruisers and eight
torpedo boats. The loss in men IS esti3
mated at over 1900 for the English and
probably over 1000 for the Germans.
The Germans admit the loss of one
battleship. two cruisers and seven tor!
pedo boats. Both sides claim more
losses for the other than either will
admit. The English claim the loss Of
men to the Germans was nearly equal
to theirs, but Germany does not admit
that. In view of what is actually
known it seems the British loss was
probably one-half more than was suf-
fered by the Germans.
In the matter of tonnage of the ves-
sells lost the losses seem to be about as
follows: England. over 100, 900 tons,
Germany, over $4,000 tons. Il has
been estimated that $50 vessels were
engaged IN the fight first and last, but
that seems to be out of all reason.
The fight lasted far into the night
after beginning about o'clock IN the
afternoon. The German fleet put back
to port in the kel canal. In spite Of
the heavy loss sustained by England,
she Atill remains mistress of the North
sea, because Of the great original pre-
ponderance II her tavor. The Germans
are naturally much e!ateo over the re-
suit. England was much cast down
when the first reports came, but after
full details were received the loss did
not prove so crushing as at first
thought. The English claim that their
whole fleet was not engaged while the
Germans claim 1t was. Conditions
seem to indicate that the English
statement is correct.
So much drastic criticism came from
the English press and the people that
the admiralty felt 1t necessary to do
to ''save It's face with
the people and prevent crisis, hence
the admiralty is now claiming that the
fight was a real victory tor England
both in vessels and men lost. The
English public Will pretend to accept
the last version and 1t will avert any
serious rupture among the high naval
officials but the world sees too clearly
;he real situation to accept the last
claims of the English admiralty.

thing ne could do would be to resign

than e. W. Toney. But he saw the
situation was beyond his control and
with due consideration for ssthe rights
OF the people who had honored him, he
has quietly stepped down and out. He
has many friends over the county who
will very much regret the unfortunate
conditions that rendered his retirement
advisable.
Mr.. Toney Will probably return to
his farm near lsoline and there make
his future home.
John @. Burnett, county coroner, is
acting in the capacity of sheriff and
has chosen j. s. Garrison to have
charge of the Jail until a sheriff is
chosen by the county court at It's next

1t now seems probable there will be
several aspirants tor the place of sher-

There may be others, however, by the
time the committee meets.
