this is changed in the new law, and a
penalty Of 100 per cent. Of the face of
the tax bill is imposed for failure to
report, and penalties with interest
may collected as far back as ten years
Everybody must pay taxes on every
thing they have to the State, exactly
as under the old general property tax
system. The only change is that
bonds, stocks in foreign corporations,
accounts due, notes representing
money loaned on mortgages, etc.,
will hereafter pay taxes only to the
State; these classes of property, to
gether with a certain amount of ma
chinery used in manufacture, are ex-
empt from county and city taxation,
but taxes on everything must be paid
to the State.
All real estate and Improvements
are, of course, included in this gener-
al property schedule, but the exhaust

The production in Kentucky has
been falling off due to the scarcity of

mares is certain to be reflected in the
high price of mules. 1t would seem
to be the part of wisdom to conserve

By the Williams
College Team
Diamond in Poor Condition and
Errors Are Most
Plentiful

After three attempts 70 get started
the New York University baseball
team finally opened its season yester-
day afternoon on Ohio Field, crossing
bats with the Williams College nine.
The visitors won by score OF IA TO ..
The wet condition Of the diamond
prevented any spectacular base run
ming. The slippery footing caused
several extra base hits to go down in
the score. Kranichfeld and Wein-
heimer furnished the only real ex-
citement. In the sixth inning they ex-
ecuted a double steal, the like of
which has not been seen on Ohio
Field in several years.
The chief weakness of the Violet
team lay in the pitching. Reich a

In a Fast Bout
St. Paul Lad Shoots Vicious
Rights and Let's at Rival
Throughout Battle

Nike ODowd. the Fighting Harp Of
St. Paul, defeated Soldier Bartfield. OF
Brooklyn. last night at the Clermont
Sporting Club, in one Of the fastest
aad toughest nights seen at the wrong
end of the Bridge in several months.
ODowd weighed in at 1913 and Bart

Mike showed a preference for in
sighting, and rested his chin on the
Soldiers manly chest while shooting
vicious right and LETT hooks to the
BODY II was this continual and cruel
battcring that gradually slowed Bart
field up.
In the last three rounds the Soldier
stood up under an unmerciful beating
but in the final minute he made dying
rally and fought toe 10 toe.
The first round was an even break;
ODowd took the second through ms
aggressiveneSs; the third and fourth
were fast and even, and Bartne!d
earned the honors in the nth and slNth,
ripping hard uppercutS to Mixes bod .
The seventh was a whirlwud with non
ors even, although iu this session
ODowd started 10 grow caullhowef
on the Soldiers left ear through the
medium of d vicious right nook.
Blood streamed from cash over
ODowds right eye, but nothing could
hold back ,he Fighting Harp. and he
literally carried the Soldier of his feet
bv the fury Of his assault. In the
eighth round Mike caught Bartheld
with powerful right and left hooks 70

under the impact. Both men roughed
il up in the ciiuches.
Bartdeld tried 20 keep Mike of with
a long left lab. but the st. Paul boy
took them and bored ia to close quar-
tiers. Furious iniighting marked the
ninth. with ODowd earning the better
of the argument. The tenth was about

.N.Y.A.C. Gets
Ready for Call
ToAidCountry
Two Divisions Formed for
Military Drill-Crews
Keep Training

The New i-rk Athletic Club has
responded to the call for preparedness.
Plans have been completed by the
board Of governors for the formation
Of two divisions OF members for mill
tary and physical training drills, which
will be held in the gymnasium under
the direction OF officers Of the United
States Army.
One division will be formed Of those
members eligible for active service,
while the other will be for older men.
who may be called upon to serve in
the Home Defence League and SINH
lar organizations. Notices of the for
nation of the divisions will be mailed
to every club member at once.
Athletics 60 On
Although devoting every energy to
support the country, the club does not
intend TO discontinue its athletic pro-
gramme. The board OF governors be-
lieves that the greatest good can b.
worked by keeping the young men
actively engaged in out-of-doors sports.
Such activities will keep them In the
best condition and make them ready
when the call for their services IS
sounded.
II is clearly understood by all, how
ever. that the athletic work will in no
way interfere with the enlistment and
military training of the men of eligi-
Bile age.
The eight-oared crews of the club
have been in training for some time
for the American Henley Regatta,
which will be held in Philadelphia on
May - They will be kept in the
boats until that time. unless some OF
the boys are called to the colors be
fore then. In such contingency the
crews will be disbanded Immediately.
If none of the members of the crews
is called before that date, the Fights
will be kept in training until such
time as the board deems It advisable
TO discontinue the training.
Will Lose Many Members
That the club will lose a great many
of its members through the regular
army, in the National Guard, by en-
listment and otherwise was shown last
summer when the troops were ordered
to the Mexican border. Realizing this
condition at the last annual meeting.
on February 3, when the constitution
was amended, provisions were made
whereby the members who were per
forming active military duty in the
event of war or in preparation there
for. under official authority. could con
tinue their membership, upon the spA-
prevail of the board of governors, with .
out the payment Of the usual dues.
Also, realizing that many of its em--
ployes would be called for duty at On :
present time, the board of governo =
at its last meetitg arranged for NE.
payment TO any employees who NAV DE
called for duty of the difference b..
! tween the salaries paid to them al r. q.
club and the pay which they reeel''
while performing such duty, and 20 :
/ holding their positions open for thea
until they return.
This il similar action to that takeL
by the club when the troops were
ordered to the border last summer and
when several employees were retained
on the payrolls during their absence
and their positions held open for them
