LARGE CROWD SEES
COMPANY c SHOW

A large and enthusiastic crowd wit
messed the home talent vaudeville en-
tertainmcnt given last night at the
new high school. as a benefit for Co.
c. The show was carried off in it's
entirety with neatness and dispatch
and by 10 o'clock the curtain was
down on the fifteenth and final act
something unusual for home talent
production of such variety.
The city's most talented performers
were on the bill and each star was
greeted and sent off the stage with
burst of applause The grand finale
with the entire membership Of Com
pany G on the stage in uniform
brought down the house.
Producers Of the vaudeville are en-
titled to endless credit for the man
nor in which they conducted the per-
Torrance. Big time actors could have
done no better than those amateurs,
while Broadway directors would have
had to uncover their last trump card
in getting more snap and pep" into
the show.
AS a result Of The enterprise Com
pany C's Golfers have been enriched
by couple hundred more dollars, all
Of which will come in mighty handy
when the boys get down on the border
and are far from home ami all its
conyeniences. The fund will be turned
over directly to Captain Woodward
to use as he sees fit for the men.

STATE TAXING SYSTEM
PLACES HONESTY AND
PERJURY AT PREMIUM

Springfield, H., July % Conscien-
cious tax payers and publicity inspect
ed corporations OF Illinois are saddled
with high taxes as a result Of their
honesty and perjury is placed at a
premium in Illinois cities because of
the system in vogue in Illinois for
the administration of the personal
property tax, according to the Russell
Sage survey.
Real estate is grossly mdervalu
cd" it is asserted, but the underyal-
uation of personal property is still
worse. Indeed great proportion es-
capes taxation entirely. This is par
ticularly true Of intangible personal
property such as stocks, bonds,
mortgages, and the like"
! In addition the survey says, the
personal property tax system mill
tates against the citizens of Illinois
/ by tending to send local money out Of
the state for investment and thus
raises local interest rates
A resident Of New York for in
stance owns $1,000 of certain per
cent bonds. There the bonds are not
taxed locally. But resident of Hi
/ nois with $1,000 of the same bonds. is
required by law to pay tax of from
$40 to $50 and his interest rate is
cut to four possibly three per cent.

There is not the slightest indication
that either the entente or the Teu-

.McTAGGART SUSPENDED,
CHARGES ARE WITHHELD
Extenuating Circumstances Believ.
ed to Figure in Ruling Of Club.

Tommy McTaggart, one of the
best race riders on the American turf,
is lost to the sport for an indefinite
period.
He was suspended yesterday by
the stewards OF the Jockey Club.
charged with violating Rule No. 213.
which governs Jockeys betting on
horse races.
Rule No. 213 says: mo jockev
shall bet on any race, except through
the owner OF and on the horse which
he rides, and any jockey who shall
be proved to the satisfaction OF the
stewards TO have any interest in any
racehorse, or to have been engaged
in any betting transaction, or TO have
received presents from persons other
than the owner, will have his license
revoked"
Just what betting transactions the
suspended jockey was engaged in
could not be learned at the Jamaica
race course yesterday afternoon. II
was not said that any fraud was
connected with the alleged wagering,
Neither could any one be discovered
who would say that the rider had
sllaAe NdStIs on any morse "nen h--
had another mount in the same race.
Could the guilt OF rider be estab.
llshed on a charge of betting on ono
horse while riding another, there
would be only one course OF action
for the stewards. The fact, however.
that McTagEart was suspended, and
not ruled off the turf, is fair PROOF
OF some eXtenuating circumstances
in the case.
Tommy McTaggart. the older OF
the two brothers, has ridden for some
Of the most prominent owners in the

at other times rode for August Bel

PLAYGROUND MEETS.
START NEXT WEEK.
Division Athletes Will Strive

DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
Holidays and Registration Date
Hold Up District Officials.

More than two thousand boys, rep
resentIng one hundred and twenty
five graded schools in the District,
will start their annual field and track
division meets under the auspices of
the Playground Association next
week.
Definite information on the meets
has been held up for some time owing
to an unusual combination Of circum-
stances. The division meets, eight
in number, were held at the National
Capital Horse Show grounds. The
razing of the structures about the
field made the use of the grounds i'm
possible.
Permission has been sought from
the Department of Public Buildings
and Grounds to stage the eight divi-
sion meets in Potomac Park.
The fact that Memorial Day falls
next week and that Registration Day
and the approaching dates OF the
Confederate Veterans Reunion will
almost impossible to assign dates
for the meets with any degree Of
certainty.
Officials at the District building are
of the opinion that the division meets
can be run on next week on days not
occupied by holidays or taken up
with registration business. 1t seems
certain that the Central School stad-
ium will be used for the final meet
Winners in the various classes in
the division meets viii be brought to-
