Although John Twohy, OF Norfolk,
died in 1914, possessed OF nearly
$5OO,000 in money, stocks and bonds
and much valuable real estate and
personal property, it was not until
1910 that he returned for taxation
90 much as $4,000 in intangibles.
Prior to that year, $3.50 was his
maximum return of this class Of
property. From 1895 to 1898 he re-
burned for taxat}on annual ly,' an
tangibles valued at $3.50. From 1900
to 1909 he reported no intangibles
property at all for taxation. Exam
liner of Records Richard McIlwaine,
OF Norfolk, instituted an inquiry into
the aTwohy estates holdings, with the
result. that he assessed the estate
with omitted taxes. for the years, of
l9O6-12, on; property values varying
from S38O,OOO to $450,O00 a year.
The taxes on these omitted proper
ties amounted to $4,000 for the
State alone.

MAJOR LEAGUE; Ball
American League

Six games were prayed in the Am
erican League yesterday, all the corr
tests. of course taking place in West
ern cities, owing to the regulations
against Sunday ball in Eastern
towns. The Nationals and the Red
Sox were the only Eastern clubs to
syin, Philadelphia apd New York
Yanks both losing both ends OF a
doubleheader to their Western op~
ponents.
AS result of yesterdays doings IN
the Junior circuit New York was
ousted from it's position as league
leaders and relegated to third place,
one and one-half games ahead OF
Cleveland, who occupy fourth. CHI
cago is onlyone-half game behind
Boston, who are at the head of the
percentage table now, and Cleveland,
is one full game ahead Of the il
gers who occupy 5th place and are J
and a half games ahead Of Washing
ton.
If Washington can capture another
game from the Indians today, she
will likely be only one half game
and several points in the rear of De-
troit, as it is probable the Red Sox
will defeat jennings clan today, and
in position to forge ahead of Cleve-
land and Detroit both by another vis-
tory or So.

LURID LIGHT IN THE SKY
Caused Apprehension to Some Per.
sons Who Had Read of Explo-

The hot wave which mas been re-
ported by the weather bureau for
the last few days to be headed this
way presented a warning fits ap-
proach last night about 8 o'clock
which frightened some people.
Some time after sunset a lurid
light appeared in the heavens-a red
dish, weird light-which produced an
Xiety to some.
To many it suggested a conflagra,
ton of tremendous magnitude.
1t was subsequently explained that
the red glare was the forerunner of
hot wave. The conditions was caus-
ed by the reflection of the sun on
light clouds in the western skies.

Selling THE PACE.

Referring to the popular belief that
the metropolitan centers are citadels
OF corruption upon which no impress
sion can be made, the Union Signal
says that this "big city bugaboo" is
row losing its terrors. It points to
New York's board of health, to Chi
cago's Sunday closing, to Philadel'
phia's stand against the use of alco-
holic drinks by its city employees, and
remarks that the public will look ex-
pectantly to Boston, st. Louis and
Baltimore for some spectacular move
ment which will excel the reforms OF
the other three. Meanwhile" 1t says,
"in the great cities of the Pacific
coast, Seattle and Portland and in the
municipalities of the middle West,
Denver and Des Moines. prohibition
is not only demonstrating its success
as a panacea for civic ills, but has
reached a stage of popularity where
the men who wrote and GRATED against
II a few months ago. are now eloquent
ly insisting that from time immemo-
rial they have been its ardent and
self-sacrifcing advocates"

EXPECT BETTER TIMES.

There have been many dire predic-
tions regarding the disaster that is to
follow the departure of the saloon in
wet territory in this state, but gener-
ally speaking no delusions are held
along this line by the more prominent
business men Of Idaho" says the Boise
News. "Whlle they look for tempo
rary depression prior to the readjust-
ment, they expect afterwards impetus
in business conditions and even better
times than before the saloon became
extinct. The fact that much Of Idaho
has been dry for years and business
conditions In the dry territory have
even been better in some instances
than in the wet territory, leads many
business men TO believe that the sa-
loon is not SO paramount factor and
that with a readjustment the lost rev.
enue from it will not be missed"
