New York Band
Fills Tabernacle

The New York Marine Band gave
two concerts in Ashland Wednesday
and almost carried two immense audi
ences off their feet The band was
not as large as had been expected
there being only twenty-four pieces,
but every member, even down to the
base drummer, was an artist with his
instrument. The director, Professor
Lotto, is master leader, and his
men fairly hung on his baton. From
the start to the finish of both con-
certs everyone sat out on the edge
of his bench and listened. The Chau-
tauqua building never held a larger
crowd than it did at the evening per-
formance. All the aisles were full
and a great many could not get into
the building at all. Donald Boucher
a fine tenor soloist, sang few selec-
tions during the evenings perform
ance. He was very well liked and
did not sing nearly enough to suit the
people. The program in the after
noon was as follows:
"The Stars and Stripes Forever.
........'... ...'.s...' Oousd
"Poet and Peasant" overture. .Suppe
"Sextett" from Lucia di Lammer
moor" .............. DonniZetti
Selection and grand finale from
Faust" .............. Gounod
lies Contes d'Hoffman," selec-
tion . Safranc
ROSARY ...'....... NeVln
Madame Butterfly" selection. :.
................. Puccini
American Fantasy" selection -.
The band showed that it could play
popular as we'll as concert music by
playing America, l Love You" and
the "Silver Fox Trot" as encores.
The evenings program was:
March" from Thanhauser". Wagner
Hungarian Rhapsody No. %. List
Quartet" from "Rigoletto" Verdi
A selection from "Rigoletto," sung
by Donald Boucher -. Verdi

CREDITS MUST BE
LISTED FOR TAXES
STATE SUPREME COURT RULES
THAT OWNER MUST GIVE
ASSESSOR NOTICE, WIFE,
THEIR ASKED OR NOT.

Pierre, S. Dan opinion of the
supreme court, by Justice Z. G. Smith
Monday, is OF more than passing in
terest under the fact that the voter:
of the state have just voted down al
amendment to the constitution which
would allow the classification of
property for assessment. The case in
question is that of State VS.. Forman
Weaver in which the lower court OF
Hyde county is affirmed
Weaver in making his assessment
return failed TO include approximate
ly So. 000 of certificates of deposit for
assessment. One of his defenses put
up was that while the assessor de
manded that he list any moneys he
might have, no demand was made for
credits.
The court holds that under the CON
stitution as it now is all moneys and
credits must be returned for taxation
that such property is placed upon
the tax lists given to tax payers to
fill out, and that it is not necessary
for thea SCISSOR to make specific de-
mand that any of the property on
the list be returned, but that all must
be returned. This holds that any resi-
dent of the state who fails 10 so list
his money and credits must take the
penalty. if suit is brought.
In opinions by Justice CTS. Whit
ing, in the case of w. f. Eye ct al we
Frank Williams ct I'll and the Cityof
Centerville, it is held tlh TIA ssaloon
keeper can recover the aicense mon
-.
cannot be legally maintained after
the license has been granted and the
money paid. In this case licenses were
granted and after operation of sa-
looms for a time at Centerville it
was found that they were not legal
and suit was brought to recover that
portion of the license money for the
remaining portion of the year, in
which judgment was secured in the
lower court and has been affirmed.
In the case of j. A. Davis ct al VS..
George Kramer, it is held that a Ii
cense petition was illegal because one
of the signers. who signed more than
thirty days prior to time of the coun-
Gil taking action, had died and that
his name could not be counted, leav-
ing the petition short one name.
