ONE MORE ELI DEFEAT
Williams Relief Pitcher to Rescue in
 Ninth and He Comes Through a la Matty-WaIsh Pitches Queer Game.

New Haven, May 24.-Williams won an exciting game from the Yale base ball team here yesterday, to B. The Ellis had an opportunity to tie the score in the ninth inning when they had men on second and third with only one out, but the next two batters went out on easy infield grounders aft CT Debevoise had been substituted in tthe box in place of Young for Will Hams.
 Walsh, who did the pitching for Yale, gave a queer exhibition of good and bad hurling. He struck out nine of the opposing batsmen but yielded cen hits and walked five men. After the Williams team had batted him for three hits and two runs in the sixth he struck out the side in the seventh, only to be pounded for three more $hits and as many runs in the eighth inning.
 The game was featured by hard, clean hitting and fine fielding, both teams playing errorless ball. The batting of Rowland, the freshman re- cruit, won the game for Williams. Radley, another first year man, also did good stick work. Rowland s clean single over second drove in the two Williams runs in the sixth, and his hit in the eighth brought in Sci bert and placed himself and Radley in position to score on Powell's triple. The score:
 Williams ........ oooQo2oso-5 10 Q Yale ....... OO000O120-3 0 Batteries-Young, Debevoise and Powell; Walsh and Nudge.

The campaign for the raising of $2,000 by the local y. M. C. A. for the purpose of sending a secretary to the front in Europe goes merrily on and from present indications, the neccs- Sary amount will be raised. F.. C. Carter, who is in charge of obtaining a representative of the local associa- ton has made the suggestion that tW' single men be sent, but this plan is not thought feasible at this time. It has been estimated that $1,200 will keep a single man for one year and $2,000 a married man and wife ana the latter plan will be followed.
 The directors of the association have already raised s1100 and $500 has been apportioned to the members of the Y. M. c. A., which will leave $500 to be raised from other sources. 1t is

 As soon as Frederick Seymour took the stand District Attorney Swann di- rected his attention to the testimo ony of the previous witnesses.

Levy on Valuable. :. Property
Forces Owners to Put Up
improvements.

Two decades ago the United States
mint in Philadelphia occupied a site
next to John Wanamaker's; store on
Chestnut street, In the heart Of the
business district: On removal Of the
mint to a larger building in cheaper
section the site was sold for 81, 0oo.-
900 to a: corporation formed for the
purpose. lAt the time it was. thought
that Mr.. ,Wanamaker wanted the site
for an extension TO his store. Since a
competitor held "a big interest In the
purchasing corporation the transac-
ton put: end to such design. "a.
In this, location: suitableofor a sky
soraper; the purchasers put,1p:a cheap
four-story"~ office building. - Then
through an arrangement with the fed
eral government they evaded local tax
alton Of the site:. AThough> well, able to
pay the full purchase price agreed
upon, a balance WAS left standing.
Until this would be paid title to the
site remained with the federal gov
eminent: ana federal property being
exempt from taxatfon; the local as
SCISSOR and tax collector was kept off
But the purchasers had possession of
the property nevertheless, From time
to time they secured extensions from
obliging secretaries Of the treasury, as
their debt fell due.
In the meantime the site was in
creasing in value. and could easily
have been sold at a profit to persons
willing to improve. It properly. But
being exempt from taxation the orig
inal buyers could afford to wait.
Finally in the year 1912, when one
ment was about to expire, a citizen Of
Philadelphia, Joseph. Fels, took it
upon himself to warn the secretary Of
the treasury in advance against allow
ing the scandal to continue. The
threat Of a. congressional investigation
was held over the department and the
purchasers were forced at last to pay
in full and take title. The property
was at once put on the tax duplicate,
but not at its proper valuation of at
least $3,O00,000, but at the original
purchase price Of: 81 ,000, 900. Even at
this rate :he tax levy was 100000. It
was too heavy burden to carry in its
practically unimproved- state, and
proposition from other parties to buy
was now promptly accepted.
The new purchasers tore down the
four-story eyesore and put up a mag
nificent stxteensstory modern build
ing. - =
There is a. lesson in political econ
ony In this incident. SO long as the
site was exempt It could be and was
held in a poorly 11nRroved state: But
80 soon as a sub3tantIal tax was levied
the holders were; forced to allow it to
be properly used:
In the same way insufficient taxa
ton of land values is everywhere
causing valuable land to be withheld
from proper use. And in the same
way this land could be forced into
use.
