$4,000 BONDS AND
MESSENGER FOUND
Missing Runner for Simmons
& Slade Arrested at
Saranac Lake.
CoMRADE Is ALSO TAKEN
Trail of Broadway Chorus
Girl Leads'to Youth Who
Fled August IL.

Two city detectives wired from Sara
nae Lake yesterday that they had cap
tured Harry James Miilhand. q s1b a
week messenger for whom they have
been looking since August IL for the
theft Of $4,000 in Liberty bonds from
Simmons & Slade of Nassau street.
With him they arrested Arthur Eller,
companion, who is suspected Of being
an accomplice. They reported the re-
eoyery of $4,000 of the bonds.
The day Millhand disappeared Benja-
min Binkowitz, a messenger for Rich
ard whitney & Co, also dropped out
of sight. After Binkowits failed to
appear 1t was found that $17s,0oO
worth of bonds intrusted to him for
delivery also had disappeared. The
double theft set the detectives search
ing the city and private agencies were
invoked to get some trace OF the miss
ing messengers and bonds. No con-
rcctlon was held to exist between the
two thefts.
Detectives Mayer and Brown of the
Central office, assigned to the Simmons
S Slade case, left the city about a week
ago It was rumored that they had OBJ
tanned knowledge of the whereabouts of
Millhand through chorus girl. The girl
left town and they followed.
The police investigation conducted In
this city Immediately after the theft es-
tablshed. 1t was said, that Millhand's
real name Is Harry William. and that
he was extradited from Los Angeles in
April of this year for the alleged theft
OF $4,000 In Liberty bonds from
Suecthwayer & Cohn of 2 Exchange
place The records showed. II was as
serted. that Judge Malone in General
Sessions had suspended sentence in this
case.
The brokers, Simmons & Slade, were
greatly surprised at Millhand's disap-
pearance and the suspicion which at
tached to him over the loss Of the bonds.
The young man had offered excellent
references when he applied for work az
a messenger, they said, and what they
had learned OF his home life was ad-
mirable.' Millhand is 81. and had been
living with his sister at 127 West 127th
street. Ellers connection with the case
does net yet appear.
The clue to the search for Millhand
was cleaned from the young mans sis
ter, the police said. 1t was her state
ment that he was crazy over dancing
that led them to search the Broadway
dance halls and cabarets The trail
from that point as the message from
Saranac Lake indicates. was plainly
marked. The latest report received was
that Detectives Mayer and Brown had
put their two prisoners aboard train
for this city. They probably will arrive
to-day.

Washington, May 22.-The pub lie debt Of the United States goV- ernmcnt was reported today by the TrLasury as $24,S24,S45,OO0.
 Most of this represents Liberty bonds of the first, second, third and fourth issues, the Victory Liberty loan not being included to any great extent. No deduction is made for the $S,S52,OOO, 1000 loaned to foreign governments. Consequently the met GeDt would be approximately $l6,- 0G9, ,0O0,0O0.
 The treasury plans to issue ether bonds this year and next year to meet the flag ends of war expenses, but Il the aggregate these are not expected to amount to more than 5000, 1000, so that the gross public debt of the United States is exuCcted by officials to be in the neig ghborhOod of $SO, ,OOO, ,OOO,- O00 when the period of war financ- ing ends.
 The treasury now has q working balance of $1,O52,OOO,OOO, and 1t holds $2,56S,599,OOO in gold. Silver dollars in the treasury have boon reduced to $229,711,00O by melting down of approximately $26O.0OO,OOO of silver dollars for export to India.

TERROR BY
ZEPPELIN RAIDS

The captain and navigating personnel
were supposed to jump from the for
ward gondola and the crew. generally
about twenty men. from the engine
and midship cabins. In the face of
disaster. however, there is no record
Of any member of a Zeppelin crew
having saved himself by this means,
either because the machine became too
quickly enyeloped In flames or fell too
rapidly for the parachute to open out.
The Zeppelins usually set out from
Germany in the morning and timed
their arrival OF the English coast
about dusk. The fate of Strasser's
ship was sealed because he arrived
too early, being spotted above the
horizon by a British lookout.
Penetrate Heart Of England.
There evidently was no concerted
action among the Zeppelin raiders,
each acting more or less independ-
emily. They selected targets upon
which they could unload their bombs
uninterruptedly, If possible, and then
flee. They often penetrated into the
heart of England.
Six Zeppelins were brought down in
England, the first by Lieut.. Leefe
Robson at Cufley. He was awarded
the Victoria Cross. The incendiary

London.-Britain conquered the
Zeppelins with explosive bullets. Un-
til the invention Of this weapon Yep
pelins roamed about over England at
will, weather permitting. The first
air raid upon London was by Yep
pelins. This was May 81, 1915, and
until the explosive bullet came into
defense work the Germans came over
In their rigid gas bags as their pleas
ure dictated. The British had no
Zeppelins then for counter-attack and
the airplanes they possessed were
helpless, because they could not fly
high enough quickly enough.
On one occasion when Zeppelins
were above the city British aviators,
as usual, went up to engage them.
But the British flyers could only at
tain $1,000 feet altitude. There they
sat, looking up at the monsters far
above them, the machine guns of the
airplanes being as useless as toy pis'
tolls. That is the real reason why
Britain built fast, high-climbing air.
planes. She had to Guido the Zepps.
She won, soon having airplanes that
could reach 10000 feet or more, above
which distance Zeppelins could not
work effectively. These high-climbing
fighting planes, together with the ex-
plosive and incendiary bullets, made
England too hot for the airing of a
Zepp.
The leader Of the Zeppelin raids on
London was Commander Peter
Strasser, who had u%nbounded hatred
for England. He had an iron nerve
and in Germany was regarded a. an
authority on air raids against Eng
land. He met his death on August 4.
last year, in the Huns largest Yep
pelin, off the English coast. An ex-
plosive bullet ended his journey.
To keep out Of range Of ordinary
anti-aircraft fire the Germans en-.
larged their Zeppelins from 10000 to
about 2,5O0,000 cubic feet, thus in
creasing ascent abilities. But this
was quickly %countered by improved de-
Tense methods in Britain. The Zepps
carried about $500 pounds Of bombs
each.
The first time the Zeppelins visited
London the people took 1t as a great
joke, focking to the %housetops to see
the incendiary bombs that were
dropped. Only six persons we're killed
In the initial raid, although so incen-
diary bombs were heaved overheard.

pelins were provided with parachutes.

members OF the legislature. Demo
cratic and Republican.
The proposition being considered is
that the state shall not collect any
direct taxes for state purposes. leav-
ing the direct taxation to provide the
funds for county, municipal and 10
cal purposes solely and instead shall
derive all its revenue from an in.
creased tax on corporations and fran
chises, an increased inheritance tax.
a more comprehensive and better pro.
ducing income tax. from the tax on
banks and from such other indirect
means as may be determined by the
legislature.
Under the present laws the state
tax rate for state purposes is is cents
on the 500 valuation, with an ad-
ditional rate Of 3 cents on the 500
for the payment Of interest on the
state capitol bonds. This rate applies
owe the entire state.
AS a result of the system, Missouri
probably has the most unequal sys-
tenn of taxation of any state in the
country, through the failure Of the
assessors to uses property at its real
value. In a county in which the needs
for local wen are small. property
is assessed at only a fraction Of its
value. In other counties where the
local needs are greater, property is
assessed at a much higher value. In
consequence these counties have to
pay a large proportion of the states
expenses.
Advocates of the plan being con-
sidered say that if no state revenue
is derived from direct property taxes,
each county will be free to sse
property at any proportion of its value
they see fit for local needs, without
any injustice being done to other por-
lions of the state, each county being
dependent on itself alone for it's local
revenues.
Thus if one county needed only a
small revenue, it could fix it's tax rate
on any assessed valuation to meet its
needs, while another county needing
more revenue, could fix it's tax rate
at a higher figure, or asses property
at or near its true value.
