At the Toner School.

Down at Toner School, the place of
registration for precinct No. BIB, pro-
ceedings began at an equally early
hour. This is the gashouse district
and not many men are residents there
However, those who live in that terri
tory turned out early, some of them
getting there before 6 o'clock. Team
sters, milkmen and clerks were in line.
There was a preponderance OF colored
men. There was no disorder. Crowds
of children and a few women stoed
about watching the men as they waited
tke!- turn to register.
The line OF applicants II waiting $os
registration was exhausted inside the
first two hours. One man was accom-
panied by his wife. and she waited out
side while he went in to register. Very
few wives or mothers were in evidence
during the day.
Registration at the Grant School kept
up at a rapid rate. Three hours after
the doors opened there were still sew
eral hundred men waiting IN line AS
fast as they went in Others took their
places. During the first hour 100 men
registered. During the second hour 1l2
registered. -
Mr. Albert, the chief registrar, at the
close of the second hour sent in a hurry
call for Eve additional registrars, SO
great was the rush.
Evening star., 1917-06-05

The registrars in all three precincts
were all much pleased with the mtelli-
gent manner most OF the men answered
the questions put to them.

City May Lose Large Sums
By Improper Appraisal of
RiUerside Railroad Lands

Il. Read & Co. state they have
never appraised a railroad property,
nor have they given any considcra-
ton to special franchise values.
They arc concerned only with real
estate values.
Thus, they went over the figures OF
the property by the Comptrollcr's mp
praiser. and stated that "in the main
our opinion IN that the method OF
calculation the values rs set forth
In the report OF the Committee on
Port and Terminal Facilities have
been most carefully worked out by
those responsible for same. whose
conclusions are both equitable and
fair and deserving OF communication"
They further state in their letter Of
July %, 1916. that they differ On the
whole proposition to the amount OF
only " ,ii6. In a railroad scheme OF
Sl6.00O.00 real estate the George H.
Read Company differs from the comp
t%roller's appraiser only to the amount
OF $3l ,ii6.
All of the appraisers admit that they
did not take into CON idcration any in
tangible or franchise values. Assum-
ing that these values of real estate are
correct. are these tho only values -
money return to the city taken into
consideration in connection with this
railroad?
As to such valuations OF railroad
properties, Prof. Henry G. Adams Of
Ia" University Of Michigan. who ~ an
expert as TO elements making M the
intangible property of railroads and as
TO the proper rule for computing its
value, made the following statement 10
the Board of state Tax Commissioners
OF Michigan as to %appraising of non
! physical railroad property to secure a
proper return In taxation, Prof. Adams
is regarded as who helped establish
the net earning rule" for ~yaIulng spc-
! piil franchises.

END IF WORLD SOO|v
 E BELIEF IF MANY

People who say they believe the world is likely to come to an end at any moment have increased greatly since the war began. Formerly they were RaptistS of the South and South west. but these millennium Baptists now say their doctrines are spreading rapidly among Methodists and Disci- pies of Christ in Georgia, Alabama Tennessee and in some measure in Louisiana The Rev. J. B. Phillips of the Baptist Tabernacle Chattanooga is authority for the statement these people hold all of the signs that arc to be displayed before the second com ing of Christ have been displayed, and so perhaps even before the kaiser is beaten by the Allies the world may end, and no peace negotiations need ever be enterd into.
 Tn fourth season of Bible meetings at which this millennium doctrine is the central teaching will he held in Chat tanoOga in October Interest in it is said already to surpasS any former years, due tn the war and the signs To il are expected Methodists. DIscl- pies. Presbyterians and even CongIe- gationalists of New England in small numbers. The meetings last through out October. The entire city of Chat tanooSa is said to be interested in them. These people say they do not get or housetops looking for the end of the world but they do warn every body to be watchful at all times and have their affairs in shape
