aritics existed in the conduct OF the
assessors office Commissioner OF Ac-
counts David Iiirshficll issued "A state

summing UP OF his conclusions Is as
follows:
Il will report that after sitting all the

that there Is absolutely nothing which
casts any reflection on the Board Of

They are performing their duties hon
estly and well. and In the interest OF

WILSON ATTENDS
OPERA IN PARIS;

Performance Put On in Gala
Fashion-President and Wife

PARIS. Jan. 25.-Prcsldent Wilson

II was the first time he had gone to
q regular performance since he left
Washington. Tho Presidents party
included Henry White. Con. Bliss and
Rear Admiral Grayson. Tho per-
formance wns put on In gala fashion
and tho audience apparently was a
holiday one. Most OF those present
obviously came for two things-to
see the President OF tho United
States and the opera
Though much OF the vast audi
torium was taken up by persons Of
official rank there was room for the
public, which wagod war all day with
ticket spectators, who probably
reaped a harvest, as prices. reported
by Americans who sought seats,
were four or Ave times tho normal
prices.
Tho President and his party occu-
pied one OF the principal boxes. When
the President entered he received a
tremendous demonstration. "Thc
Star -Spsngled Banner" was sung ana
then The Marseillaisc." after which
the performance began.
once between the acts the President
and Mrs. Wilson went behind the
scenes and shook hands with the pria-
cpals OF the chorus and ballet.
The tea" given at the Paris white
House in the afternoon was an event
the like OF which the French capital
probably had never seen. II was ox-
clusivoly for the working men and
women who surround the President
and Mrs. Wilson during their stay
here, and its purpose was 70 make
them feel that they were members OF
the official family. no matter what
their occupations.
The gendarInes who guard the great
palace gates, the gruff Sergeants and
buck privatcs OF tho American troops
that patrol the inner grounds, the
chnuffeurs who whirl the Presidential
cars about the streets and American
telephone girls were all in evidence.
Some were bashful, some were
overcome by stage fright, while
others felt quite ut home as they
were received In democratic fashion
and made TO feel at home in the
drawing rooms OF the palace. The
President and Mrs. Wilson acted as
hosts for an hour. The sergeant
OF the French guard introduced his
men, as did the sergeant OF the
American guard.
The telephone girls assisted their
hostess In pouring tea and receiving
the other guests. For the native
guests chocolate was substituted for
tea, but the Americans took real tea
with cakes. The President and Mrs.
Wilson said afterward that the social
venture was n success. Their guests
said they were much pleased at their
reception.
