Division of Spells.

Passengers by an American steamship

day from Havana brought the first news
to reach this country Of the assassirta ton

named Mediandua of Senior Tabares, in
spector of coin In the Treasury Depart
ment Of Cuba and nephew Of DR.. Cancio.
Secretary of the Treasury. La LtIchd
OF Havana, copies OF which arrived by
the liner. in an editorial printed in Eng
lish attributes the killing to a disagree
ment between Tabares and Madiandua
over the share OF money that Medlandpa
was to have received for assisting in the
illegal shipment OF gold from Cuba to
Spain.
Passengers said the incident had
aroused feeling against the Administra-
ton in Cuba, and La Luchd said while II
respected the grief OF DR.. Cancio, II
deemed II its duty to 'reiterate that
unless our high functionaries hasten to
remedy the evils that are sapping the
soul and wealth OF our people 1t will not
be long before Cuba's independence and
self-government shall be superseded by
the authorities in Washington"
La Lucha declares that because OF the
surreptitious shipments of great guam
titles of coined gold to Spain Cuba inds
herself at present without gold" and
says the Cuban executive departments,
due to a combination OF red tape. tneffl-
cheney and immortality, have become fos-

SMITH FINDS FAULT
WITH WHITE BOOK
Denies He Said Barge Canal
Was Not "Open and in
Operation"

In a letter to ]. II. Sears, chairman
OF the Whitman White Book Committee,
President Alfred f. Smith OF the Board
of Aldermen and Democratic candidate
for Governor denied yesterday he ever
had said the barge canal was not open
and in operation" He quoted from his
Syracuse speech: &c. and vet we
find to-day that the canal terminals are
not built and the canal itself Is not An
ished."
THAT is correct statement, and I
repeat 1t TO you" wrote President Smith
to Mr.. Sears. with regard to the canal
terminals, I would call your attention
to the Canal Bulletin issued by the State
Engineer and Surveyor in August OF this
year. at page 234, where he sets forth
the fact that the total amount on the
contracts in force for terminals is $4,-
36SS57.
with regard to the canal itself, which
l said was not finished. call your at
tention to page 23l of the same bulletin
showing the barge canal contracts in
force. the total value OF which are 81
s56,0l5. Work done on these contracts
up TO August 1 was H,234,50O, leaving
uncompleted $3,72l,5l5.
IF the State Engineers August bulle-
tin is correct l am correct when | say
that the canal Is not finished. During
July. 1918, season OF the year favora-
BILE TO construction work, there was com
pleted $2l2,610 worth OF work. At that
rate the canal will not be completed for
over year, assuming that the same
amount OF work could be done during
the winter months. which We all know is
not possible"

AGENTS MADE RICH
BY TAX JUGGLING
Owners Of Suffolk Property,
Assessed for Acreage,
Paid for Lots.

1t appeared from testimony heard yes
terday by Magistrate Appleton in the tax
sale investigation that a good many per-
sons who own real estate in Suffolk
county have supposed that their property
was listed AS lots and have paid taxes
on IL as such, whereas It really is listed
as acreage, on which the tax is consider
ably lower. In other words, they have
been paying too much-not to the county
but to agents who looked after their
holdings.
r. p. Marley. secretary of the Bellport
Suburban Investment Corporation OF los
Fulton street, Manhattan, waived i'm
munity before testifying He said his
company collected from owners taxes on
about 5000 lots. From Mr.. Manley and
other witnesses Assistant District Attor-
ney Waugh elected the information that
In some instances the company collected
taxes as IL on lots and turned over to
Suffolk county the amount levied on
acreage. This property had originally
been listed as lots but had later been
transferred to the acreage tax roll
One Of the witnesses. James J. Dowd.
asserted that Mr.. Manley's corporation
had demanded SIS for two years back
taxes, of which only 81 was paid to the
county, but that Dowd had not paid
the SIS.
II developed that Hyram Barnett OF
2s East Eleventh street, who Is 60 years
old and has a son in the army. had been
paying taxes for years on six acres
which he had bought but TO which he
had no valid claim. Magistrate Appleton
told Mr.. Manley he thought II was the
duty OF any one who made great profit
out Of handling property for others to
make sure that the taxes were properly
assessed.
THAT old man sitting there" the Mag
istrate added. absolutely owns nothing
at all"
Mr.. Manley agreed to give Mr.. Barnett
a deed to-day.
NJ, Zinkeisen OF Medford, Suffolk
county. said the trouble started with the
assessors. as taxes were based on lists
made out by them. He said the same
piece of ground had been put on
four maps, that some lots were taxed
three or four times as much az others OF
equal value, and that owners paid three
times as much as they should pay to
companies handling their property and
only a part OF this money went INTO the
county treasury.
Mr. Zinkeisen also said that the county,
through its astonishing system OF map
making, was taxing more land than
there is room for within it's boundaries.
THE State" said Magistrate Apple
ton. SHOULD appoint commission to
take testimony as TO what property those
moor people down there own and what
they don't own"
The hearing will be resumed at 80
