A sweeping increase in assess.
ments has been ordered by the state
board OF equalization, which it is be-
lieyed win result in an increase in
revenue for the state of over $1,000
900 a year. Beginning with land val

classes OF property In nearly every
county in the state from 10 to 25
per cent. OF 40 counties in which
land values were submitted by the
local assessors, were changed, 80
were increased and only two were
reduced. .
Land values in the city of St. Louis
were not changed. Livinston and De.
kalb counties were the only ones re-
drced. and these only 10 per cent.
From the figures shown it seems
that Putnam county lands received
the biggest boost, being raised % per
cent owe the local figures.
The increase ordered on the value
Of livestock was even more marked;
in some counties approximating 40
per cent.
A late report claims that the real
estate owned by the banks in st
Louis has been assessed at a very
nominal value.

 move POI erty of :

Montgomery. November
 As a result of decision of Juogs Gas
 ton Gunter in the equity division of
 the circuit court Thursday. the Louis vile and Nashville railroad will have authority immediately to remove all
 telegraph wires of the Western Union Telegraph company from it's lines be-
 ginning at the Tennessee line near
 Nashville and running to the Missis-
 sippi line below Mobile. An appeal
 probably will be taken by the tcle-.
 graph company, suspending any move
 ments on the part of the railroad.
 Judge Gunter- declined to make per-
 manent temporary injunction which
 was granted to the telegraph company September 15, 1917, dissolved the tenn fered by the railroad company and ruled that there was no equity in the petition of the telegraph company, which sought writ of assistance, putting it into possession of that DOT tion of the railroads right-of-way used by the telegraph company for its poles and wires This is another complete victory for | the railroad company. If the decision is sustained the railroad company can require the telegraph company with out delay to remove it's poles and wires from the railroads property throughout Alabama.
 Wherever the telegraph company has brought a similar suit it has been de- feated and the supreme court of Ala bama in cases originating in Selma and other points ruled that the railroad company cannot be forced to permit the telegraph company to use it's right of way.

MISS ALICE PAUL AND MISS W|NSLOW
 ARE GIVEN FOOD

Washington, November 3.-Miss Alice Paul. head of the woman's party, and Miss Rose Winslow, hunger striking in the district jail hospital. were fed late today by the jail authorities. Liquid food was given them through rubber tubes, breaking a fast of some thing over 72 hours.
 Whether force was employed may be always a matter of dispute. pr. J. A. Cannon, the jail physician, said it was not and that both women took the nourishment without protest. At the womans party headquarters, how ever, it was indignantly asserted that such a thing was impossible. The women pointed out to Miss Paurs rec ord some years ago at Holloway Jail. London, saying she endured tortures through forcible feeding. She was then aid to Mrs. Pankhurst.
 Miss Paul and Miss Winslow, who are serving terms for so-called pick eting of the White House, went on their strike in an effort to compel the Jail officers to provide for their fel- low pickets the same special food eggs and milk-given them when they were transferred to the hospital sec tion. They insist that even murderers in the jail are permitted to make pur- chases on the outside to supplement their prison fare and that only the suffra gists of all the prisoners are denied this privilege.
 Dr. Cannon called in several other physicians today to examine the strikers and give their opinion as to the necessity for forcible feeding. Ii was agreed that both women were in such a condition that they must be fed
 Tonight the physician would say nothing more than that the prisoners had accepted nourishment without pro- test and now were in satisfactory shape. The jail superintendent refused to permit anyone to see the prisoners and to make any statement whatever concerning their treatment.

WASHINGTON HOPES SANITY MAY YET
 RULE IN RUSSIA

Washington, November S.-Diseour- agement felt here over the news of the overthrow of the Kerensky govern ment at Petrograd is tempered by hope that the extreme radicals, who have seized the cap, may not be able to extend their control over the army or any considerable part of the country. However, it is feared that much blood must be shed and the nation further demoralized before any power rises above the turmoil strong enough to control the situation.
 Both the state department and the Russian embassy still were without of ficial advices tonight. Consequently there was no official comment on the situation.

PRODUCTION CONFERENCE

Measures to increase coal production were taken up at a conference today be- tween officials of the fuel administra- tion, directors of the National Coal as- sociation and representatives of the rail- road war board, the priorities committee and the interstate commerce commission. Consideration was given to 8 proposal that coal shipments be given preference in transportation over all other com modities except food and war supplies. This step was urged particularly by the coal operators who claim that car short age is forcing mines to stand idle in many parts of the country.
 Another recommendation of the opera tors is that open top cars be distributed in all instances to coal mines and coke ovens.
 These orders, if issued, would mean, the operators declared today, an increase of from % to 25 per cent in coal pro duction. In West Virginia, where coal has been given preference, the output, they said, has risen more than 9 per cent.
