WAYNE PERSONAL
AND LAND VALUE
DOUBLED IN YEAR
Valuation of County Outside
of Richmond Shows Larger
Gain Than City.

With every township except Dalton
reported, and including the report OF
the city of Richmond, the total valu-
alton of Wayne county personal prop
erty and real estate as compiled by
the township assessors, is $57 ,633, 751,
against total Of s28, 5,901 for 1918.
This shows the valuation Of this part
of the county's taxable property to be
approximately double that OF last year
Wayne county outside of Richmond
shows far larger increase than the
city. The county total, excluding
Dalton, is $37,010,421, against a total
for the same territory last year of
14,109,651. The city total was S20.-
1880, against last years valuation
of $14,076,250, an increase of only
about 80 per cent against the increase
Of about $50 per cent throughout the
county.
Land Shows Biggest Gain.
By far the largest gain In the vari-
Gus classes of property is shown in
land, which was raised much more
than personal property or improve
ments. Dalton townships valuation
last year was $395,000 and if it keeps
up the pace it will swell the county
total about 100000.
The property increases thus far
have been just about double. Accord
ing to this, when all classes of prop
erty, including banks, corporations
and railroads are in, the county's total
tax valuation will be around $4,000
600, or double last years figure of
about $40,000,o00.
The reports thus far are tentative
and approximately correct only as the
township assessors figures are subject
to revision by the tax board of review,
and by the state tax board after the
board of review is done. They give
however, fairly correct idea of the
| effect of the new tax law upon Wayne
| county property.

Failure To GiUe NeD
Address Delays Pay
To Soldiers Dependents
fBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Depend-
ents of men in the military services
who have moved without notifying the
war risk bureau of their new address
have caused the return of f25, 900 in
surance certificate. A total of 337, 7,742
checks have been returned, including
$4,000 drawn to dependents in other
countries which are unclaimed. AS
fast as possible, the bureau is locating
the persons to whom they belong, be-
ing assisted by the Red Cross and
local agencies throughout the country.
A noticeable trend from the coun-
try to the cities has been noticed in
the change of addresses sent to the
bureau. New York leads the country
for Capitalization, but all cities, es-
pecially those near cantonments, have
received a large number of soldiers
who formerly lived in the country.

STATE MEDIATOR
INTERVENES IN
TOLEDO STRIKE
1Rv Associated Pressl

TOLEDO, O., June 5.-The expected
arrival here today Of George F. Miles,
chief mediator for the Ohio industrial
commission, to lend his services in the
labor dispute involving $4,000 en-
ployes of the Willys-Overland Automo-
bile company, was the first indication
that an end of the trouble which has
been in progress for four weeks might
be in sight.
1t was said that Secretary of Labor
Wilson, also might come to Toledo,
inasmuch as he is in Ohio, to investi-
gate the trouble, but neither Mayor
Schneider nor officials of the automo-
bile company were in possession OF
definite information.
The Overland plant will remain
closed today, according to Clarence A
Earl, vice-president and general mana
ger, at the request of Mayor Schreiber
to prevent further disorders. Two sub
sidiary plants also are closed.
The visit of Mr.. Miles will be the
second he has made to Toledo since
the labor trouble started. He came
here early in May, but at that time
Mayor Schreiber was acting as media
tor and Miles, after consulting with
labor leaders and officials of the Over
land, declined to enter into the con-
troversy until Mayor Schneider had
satisfied himself he could do nothing
Fearing a new outbreak of violence
at the first of the funeral of the vic
tins shot to death nthe rioting Tues
day night today caused Mayor Schrei
Der to detail several foreign-speak
ing detectives to attend the services

RICHMOND NOW
CAN Be CITY OF
SECOND CLASS
Valuation Figures Entitle
Quaker City to Step up
Notch In Indiana Scale.

Richmond may now go into the sec
cond class of Indiana cities, along
with Terre Haute, South Bend, Fort
Wayne and Evansville, if she wishes,
according to the state laws governing
the classes.
Any city of a population between
$4,000 and $4,000, which has a total
valuation Of more than $20,000,000 tax
able property, may go into second class
II the voters decide at special elec-
ton that they wish to step higher.
Richmond's personal property and
real estate alone were returned Thurs
day by Township Assessor David Reid
at $20.643,330, with no report from
public utilities or banks, which would
raise the total much higher.
Would Increase Expenses
The change would increase the city's
expenses and taxes, as officers OF
cities of the second class get higher
salaries than those of the third, and
the municipal plant is more elaborate
City officers, however, would get nc
higher salaries for the present term OF
/ Office, as the law provides that the in
crease shall not go into effect until
after the expiration of the present
/ IGIIu. no CuduS0 III CLASS, nOH0fSI
would take effect on the first of the
month following the election.
The original Indiana law governing
!. the classification of cities, passed il
: 1909, is based on population alone
with an exception for cities of the
fifth class, and by this law Richmond
was placed in the third class, as hav
ing between 10000 and $4,000 popula
ton.
Amendment Available
/ In 1915, however, the Legislature
passed an amendment to this law, put
tting cities of the third class IN tn
second, under the conditions outlined
above.
Lafayette and Richmond have a.
ready reported that they will haV'
the right this spring to enter the sec
ond class if they wish and it is though
the general effect will be to transfe
most Indiana cities of the third clas
into the second, as the new tax Law
raises valuations so much most o
them may have $20,000,000 worth o
taxable property.

78 MINERS ARE
DEAD IN BLAST
OF COAL TRAIN
Men Horribly Mangled When
Blasting Powder Explodes
-Carelessness is Blamed.
(By Associated Press)

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June s.
Seventy Eight men lost their lives in
the Baltimore No. tunnel of the Del
aware and Hudson Coal company ex.
plosion and fire today and thirty-one
were injured, according to a list given
out by the company officials at noon
today. Forty-one bodies have been
identified and thirty-seven remain un.
identified. The company's injured list
is not complete but it is certain the
number Of injured will reach about
forty.
The disaster, with one exception
is the greatest that has ever occurred
in this vicinity.
More than 100 mine workers were
riding to their work in what is known
as trip Of mine cars drawn by a
motor. The rear car carried twelve
kegs of black powder used for blast.
ing. The mine is modern and equip.
ped electrically. The trolley wires
snapped when the train has gone
about 200 feet from the entrance The
wires sputtered and sizzled and the
sparks touched off the powder.
Law Violation Blamed
In an instant every man and boy
on the train was injured, dead or dy.
ing. Terribly mangled bodies were
found everywhere by the rescue
crews. Fire fighters succeeded in a
short time in subduing the flames
The men who had not succumbed in
the mine were so badly burned that
in nearly every case death is matter
of only short time.
Carelessness and violation of mine
laws of the state caused the great loss
of life. One of the provisions of the
anthracite mine code is the section
forbidding the transportation of men
on a car or train whfeh carries ex
plosiyes.

tBy Associated Press,

BASLE, June 5.-The grand council
of German-Austria which met on Tues
day under the craftsmanship of Presi-
dent Seitz, adopted the report of Dr.
Otto Bauer, the gist of which was that
the peace terms presented to German
Austria by the allies meant "the death
sentence of the Austrian republic" &C
cording to Vienna advices, received
here.
Newspapers of Vienna, including
the Arbeiter Zeitung, the socialist or
gan, echo this sentiment with various
degrees of vehemence. Some darkly
hint that "the last word has not been
spoken
President Seitz, Foreign Minister
Bauer and Vice-president Fink, have
left Vienna for Feldkirch to confer
with Karl RenEer, the Austrian chan
cellor and head Of the Austrian peace
mission at st. Germain.

Definite Indemnity
Notifications in the terms Of peace

 The exchange" Is said to have met several times daily at a central point in the financial district, and instead of each boy going to all the offices for which he carried certificates, one boy would be assigned to deliver the bonds each of them had for the same place.
 This method. according to the police. greatly simplified the work of security thieves and hampered the officers in tracing stolen certificates.
 Stolen securities were used in at least one instance to prove a broker good financial standing to the Consoli- dated Stock, exchange. according to Assistant District Attorney Dooling, who is Investigating the 31,oO0,000 thefts. t"- T9
 Mir. Dooling said that Norman S. Bowles now under indictment in Washington for recieving alleged stolen securities, deposited 100 shares of Worthington Pump and Machinery company stock with the Consolidated exchange on Oct. 14 after his suspen- sion from the floor for failure to meet clearing house balances.
