YOUTHFUL TENOR
 SENT TO IRELAND
Is Unable to Produce Proof of
 American Nativity

New York. June 11.-Francis O'Brien, young stripling famous on Ellis Island as a stowaway and as a tenor Of promise. who is on the high seas today on his return voyage to Ireland, is a living proof that a birth certificate may sometimes prove an essential document Tn the pursuit of career as a singer.
 Were it not for his lack of such a document as proof Of his contention that he was born in Philadelphia and that his parents took him to Ireland when he was four years old, young O'Brien might now be winning tho hearts of American music lovers. as did John Mccormack, the emulation of whose career led the lad to secret himself on an American bound ves- sel some three weeks ago.
 Instead, immigration officials. who have only cold legal instructions to guide them in making decisions, saw fit to place him on an outgoing ship and let him try to csta blish the cs- sential facts concerning his birth after his return. O'Brien, however. despaired of being able to prove much about his origin, because his father and mother are both dead and he has no relatives in Ireland.
 The young tenor's fame as singer probably would never have started 10 spread had it not been for a slight illness contracted on Ellis Island, causing him to be placed in the hos pitsI for treatment. The nurses there became enchanted with his singing. and before he was deported he was giving concerts for the other inmates of the hospital as well as for the in habitants of the island generally. AS a result O'Brien's name today is on the lips of all Ellis Island. The hos pital attendants were calling his name with tender eulogy and expressing eN- treme sorrow that he had to go back.
 O'Brien is only one of hundreds of such cases that are sent back to their original place of authorization every month There are 80 stowaways on the island now awaiting orders to go back, never having seen more of New York than it's enchanting skyline Every incoming ship from no matter what port, according to immigration officials, brings from two to ten stow aways, and almost a,I0 them have frui'less voyage t1 'frS :

A PROBLEM OF PEACE

During the world war more than four and half million of our sol. diers, sailors and marines had their lives insured by the United States government for a term of five years, 1n sums ranging from $1,0OO to $1O,OO0, the average policy approximating $8,7OO. Because of the rapid demo- bilization and the confusion attending a resumption of civil life, great many of those who were insured have allowed their insurance to lapse or be cancelled. The problem now is to get them back.
 Cooperating with the bureau of war risk insurance in general educa- tional campaign are leading social welfare organizations and thousands of volunteer units, making up an enor- nous field force for spreading the gos- ne,, of permanent government insur, ance.
 This insurance is not for everyone it is only for the former service men and women of our army, navy and marine corps. Congress wanted them to enjoy certain privileges of life insurance protection during the war, and it wants them to continue the pro- tection now that peace has come. The low, the provisions liberal and attrac tive, and behind every policy stands the security of the United States.

MASQUERADE BALL BIGGEST AND BEST AFFAIR OF KIND
 EVER HELD IN THlS CITY

More than three hundred persons attended the masquerade ball at Eagle hall last night, and the Cordova fire department can we'll feel proud of the great success of their annual social event, as it is generally conceded tc have been one of the finest affairs ot the kind ever given here. Early in the evening the masqueraders, repre- senting almost every known charac ter, began to arrive at the hall, and when the Cordova jazz orchestra played the first waltz the floor was filled with those in costume, while the balcony and sides of the hall were lined with onlookers. Fun reigned su preme, and there was not a dull mo- ment until after the sounds of the Home, Sweet Home' waltz had died away.
 The grand march started at II: 30 o'clock, and when the clock struck the hour of midnight the new year was ushered in amid the blowing of hun dreds of horns and other noise-making contrivances, while confetti was show cred on the merry-makers.
 In the awarding of the prizes the judges only took into consideration those who were present at the ap- pointed hour, 10 o'clock, which ac- counts for the fact that some of the late corners, who represented some of the best-sustained characters, were not among those who carried home the bacon
 The two contests that excited the most interest were the prize waltz and the jazz waltz, in which there were many competitors, and when it came to the final test the enthusiasm ran high.
 The award of prizes was as follows:
 Best-dressed couple-Lady $20 pho- tos, Scarborough; man, $2O in cash, Bank of Alaska $10 and First Bank of Cordoya slo Lady, Mrs. Len Cox; man, J, v, Lydiek.

OPPOSES new TAX
Raub Declares Reassessment
Would Be Highly Unfair.
Highland Farmer Would Bear
Brunt, He Asserts.

The question of re-assessing farm
lands is taking a definite fighting
form
The suggestion Of the state tax COM
mission that such re-assessment be
made in Shawnee county is strongly
opposed by Kenneth Raub, county
clerk If the action is taken, some
one is going to suffer, he asserts
From the east to the west line of the
county is a strip two miles wide on
either side of the Kaw, comprising the
most fertile farm lands in the state
These bottom lands, as they are called,
include about 35,8 acres Recently
these lands have been selling on an
average OF SO per cent higher than
their assessed valuation. The uplands
on the contrary, have not increased
nearly so much in value
In other words" says Raub, the
uplandS are assessed at about what
they are worth. while the bottom lands
are selling at about so per cent more
than they are assessed. But il we
make an assessment this year. it is
going to bring a general increase not
only to the lowland farmers but to
those on the up1ands as well, as this
would be unfair. Personally, I do not
believe the state equalization board has
the authority to function again so far
as real estate is concerned until 1922 -
n lE[LeT the state commas
sion to Raub states that several coun-
ties of the state are going to make a
reassessment and that unless the rest
of them adopt like measures it must
needs result in action by the state
board of equalization.
The law requires reads the let
ter. that all property shall be as
sessed at it's actual value, in money,
and if state equalization is made nee
essary by reason Of the failure of
some counties to reassess. the rule of
law will necessarily have to be OBJ
served. i. e., that such equaliza ton be
made as nearly as possible a actual
value. The state board very much
prefers that values shall be fixed by
the local authorities so as to fulfill
the requirements Of the law as there
by will be avoided the necessity of &C
ton by the state board"
of the tax commission that all farm
land in the county is assessed at too
low figure and that if action is taken
this year it will result in raising the
valuation of the upland farms. The
sentiment of the county commissio on
ers appears to be against the proposed
rea SseSSment-
The tax commission points out that
other kinds Of property have increased
in value and that it is not fair that
real estate should remain at it's pres
emit assessed value. and bear a reIa-
lively less share Of the tax burden
