New York City Realty
Jumps Billion and Half
Manhattan Leads i'm State Fig.
ures With S683, 900, 900 Rise;
Housing Situation Canse

ALBANY, June 16.--New York State
reai estate has jumped in value by
nearly two billion dollars, according to
the annual equalization table adopted
eo-day by the State Tax Commission. 1t
SHOWS SHOWS an assessed valuation of real es-
sa sate Of $l4,595, 100000, as against $12.-
oze,0oo,0oo last year. The commission
assesses an average of about SO per
cent OF the full value of the real estate.
Last year it was 50 per cent.
ihe increase in the value of real es-
.ale is unprecedented. Never before
mas such big jump in assessed yalua-
uon taken place. 1t is due largely to
tne housing situation and the fact that
clties have increased the percentage of
assessed valuations because of their
ss..mngent financial condition. Nearly a
pliilon and half of the increase is on
rev York City real estate.
The rise in values in Manhattan
amounted to S683, ,00000O; in Kings,
so2o00,000; in the Bronx, 500 600 900;
IN Queens. $79, 900, 600, and in Richmond
sie,o0O,000. The average assessed valu-
auon in New York counties has re-
NAMED the same as last year 95 and %
per cent respectively In Brooklyn it
aas increased from 81 to SO per cent
and in Queens and Richmond from 80
70 W per cent.
The assessed valuation in personal
pp1operty has fallen from S364,2a3,72O to
SNoo,soo,6 ,604, because of exemptions al
.owed under the income tax and other
stste laws.

House Delegation Bolts Navy
Appropriations Conference
Bill Involving $494,OOOOOO Seems Tied Up in
Hopeless Deadlock on Account of Refusal to
Grant Increases Demanded by Senators

the department can go along for two or
three weeks after the new fiscal year
opens without being obliged to spend
any aoney.
The House will be asked TO give in
structions to the conferees as TO what
course to take. House sentiment
against the Senate increases, including
the increase of personnel from 100000
in the House bill to 10000 in the
Senate bill, is strong.
Senator Poindexter, acting chairman
of the Naval Committee, said OF the
situation: ats up to the House" He
is disposed TO let matters drift until
the House or House conferees make a
new move.
Conferees on the army bill are in a
tangle over the size of the army and it
may be impossible to straighten this
out before the new fiscal year opens.
The army bill controversy, however, in
wolves small sum compared with the
sum involved in the dispute over the
naval bill.
President Harding ultimately may
be asked to arbitrate the differences on
these bills.

LONDON, June t6.-The MARQUIS of
Curzon, Foreign Secretary, is going to
Paris tomorrow in the hope that he
can reach an agreement with the
French government on policy to be
followed in the Near East in the event
Of defeat of the Greek army by the
Turkish Nationalists led by Mustapha
Kemai.
AS the Italian Ambassador to Paris
will also be present at the conference
it will assume almost the Importance
of meeting of the Supreme Allied
Council.
The marquis's private secretary has
been in Paris all this week, but he has
made little headway on the Quai
d'Orsay and the British are not opti-
mistic over the situation.
The significance Of the marquis's
visit can be found in the fact that
Premier Lloyd George has turned the
whole Near Eastern problem over to
the Foreign Office for solution after
he himself sought in vain for a salts
factory basis Of adjustment.
The British feel that their chief hope
Of success rests with the Greek army
and consequently they are anxious to
obtain French approval Of the work Of
supplying kng Constantine's forces
with munitions.

DUBLIN, June 16.-The rattle Of
musketry and machine gun fire in the
streets of Dublin, so intense that it
alarmed the population of even that
war-torn city, broke out about IL
o'clock last night and continued at in
tervals until after midnight. The firing
was described as the heaviest heard
since the Easter rebellion of 1915. De-
spite the fact that the curfew required
all persons to be indoors, rebels were
on the thoroughfares in all parts of
the city, attacking the crown forces
from many vantage points.
Inc first attack was made on the
military guard at the burned custom
house. Bullets rained on the troops
from across the Liffey River, but they
returned the fire vigorously with
machine guns. Military and police sent
IN iorries from headquarters to in
vestigate the outbreak were attacked
VAIN revolver and rife fire a. O'Conneu
bridge by snipers ensconced in corners
OF buildings, where the moon threw
black shadows, and on roofs of nearby
structures.
For the first quarter OF an hour the
Mrlng was continuous in the streets in
the central part of the city. The crack
of automatics could be heard above the
volleys fired by the crown forces.
Play Lights on Buildings
When the battle died down and on1v
desultory firing broke the stiffness.
!arge forces of police and military were
thrown out over the city to patrol in
armored cars. Night workers were
stopped and searched and lights were
played on the roofs in an effort to
reveal g,, the hiding places of the snipers.
ms morning a troop train was at
tackled with revolver fire and bombs
on the outskirts OF Dublin. -Four SOL
dlers were wounded. About the same
time body of auxiliary police cadets
was attacked from ambush from the
north wall of the city.
Until Tuesday night, when bombs were
thrown at military patrol there had
been no disorders after curfew hours
and many had begun to hope that the
rigor of the curfew regulations would
be relaxed soon. This hope has now
vanished with the renewal of Sim
part of the new policy of the Irish re-
publican army, whose newspaper is still
circulated despite the heavy penalties
put on any one caught with it in his
possession. The latest issue of the
publication presents what are called
defensive tactics to meet the British
governments threat of breaking re-
sistance by adoption of the wind-up
methods used in the Boer war. It is
asserted that guerrilla attacks com

outlying posts in Ireland and concen-

Tries to Behead Autoist With
Hatchet as Car Hits His Son

RED BANK, N. j., June 1e.-William
Evans, of Asbury Park. was attacked
with hatchet and seriously wounded
to-day by Rocco zucco as he was stoop-
ing to pick up zucco's three-year-old
child. The child had been knocked
down and hardly more than scratched
by an automobile in which Evans was
riding. lucco was held in $4,000 bail
for the grand jury on a charge Of
atrocious assault and battery.
Zucco told Judge Wise, before whom
he was arraigned, that he became ex-
cited when he saw his son run over
and believed that he had been killed.
According to witnesses, the zucco
boy darted into the street from in front
Of his home as the Evans car came
down the street. He ran directly In
front Of the automobile, but the driver
was able to stop. 4

Paris Pleased at Curzon Visit

PARIS, June 16.-The word from,
London that the Marquis of Curzon is
coming here Friday to confer with
Premier BRAND on questions affecting
the Near East, Upper Silesia and other
controversial subjects, has given the
situation q most conciliatory turn.
Premier Lloyd George mas informed
kBriand that he has delegated the Mar
quis of Curzon to act for him because
impaired health and the pressure of
English domestic problems have made
it impossible for him to handle foreign
affairs himself for some time to come.
Under these circumstances the belief
is expressed here that the British For
eign Minister may be coming to Paris
empowered to arrange for an early
meeting of the Supreme Allied Council.
Brands refusal TO go to Boulogne
strengthens the belief that the next
session will be in Paris and, unless
Lloyd Georges health improves, For
eign Minister Curzon may have to re-
place the British Premier at the coun-
Gil table.
1t is reported that Lloyd George was
piqued because he could not force
BRAND to call meeting Of the Su-
preme Council two weeks ago when the
SIleSIan situation was most actlVe.
Now he is sending the Marquis of
Curzon, whom the British Premier be-
lieves the French will find it harder to
drive bargain with than himself.
Persons close TO BRAND say that
Foreign Minister Curzon's mission is
of the highest Importance. They ex-
press belief that it will lead to an
agreement between Great Britain and
France and the formulation of COM
mon policy on troublesome interna-
tional questions.
The French Interpretation Of the
situation is that Premier Lloyd George
is yielding to the clamor in England
against interference in the Greek
Turkish dispute and is coming over to
the French point of view. This will
result in some agreement on the basis
that it is the duty of the Allies to
force King Constantine to abandon
some of his fiery projects.

Rocco zucco witnessed the accident
from the porch of his home AS a
crowd gathered around the machine,
Zucco seized hatchet which was lying
in the yard and dashed into the street.
1t is alleged that as Evans straight
ened up with the child in his arms
Zucco brought the hatchet down on the
autoist's neck, inf1icting a cut four
inches long and two inches deep. Men
in the crowd. it is said, were forced to
struggle for several minutes with the
father to prevent him from striking a
second blow
Evans was placed in his automo obile
and rushed to q surgeon. After several
stitches had been taken in the cut he
was sent to the home of sister in
Eatonville. 1t is said he will recover.
Iucco was turned over to the police.
Edward Evans, brother of the injured
man, who was driving the car, was not
held.

WASHINGTON, June 16--House and
Senate conferees on the $494,000. 900
naval appropriation bill came to COM
plete deadlock to-day. Refusing to ac-
cept the Senate increases, amounting
virtually to $1oo,Go0,ooO, the House
conferees walked out of the conference
room.
The situation is that the House con-
ferees have refused to agree to any
of the Senate increases, except ST.
100000 for q hospital at San Diego.
They also have refused to accept the
Borah disarmament amendment.
Indications are this means many days
OF delay in reaching an agreement and
that it will be after the first of the new
fiscal year before the naval bill is
passed. Navy Department officials are
worried because of the probability the
month of July will open and find the
departm ent without dollar.
In Congress this is not looked on as
especially serious, because it is said

Strengthen Marriage Examination Laws

Senator Joseph has introduced bill for the repeal of the
Marriage Examination law passed in 1913 whereby the
must physicians certificate that he is free from
venereal disease before license is issued
1t is true that the law has been somewhat abused that
the examinations superficial and that many afraid to be
examined evade the law by going out of the state for
riage but the law is wise and should be strengthened
rather than repealed
woman has the right to be suspicious Of any bride
who fears physical examination, really unfit for
marriage and that many unfit is proved by the record
of the divorce courts where many couples united
the state boundary line, seek separation
The law should require thorough examination including
blood test to fully protect from contamination
by unprncped tainted men, and the extra expense etaed
would the best investment possible for newly weds
Moreover interstate should be reached for uni
form marriage laws that would prevent evasion and avert
hasty and ilconsidered unions

early in the morning. And he had
not expected callers-at least not
so many as suddenly appeared al
the stone wall where he was US

Luckily he was arrayed in his
very best clothes. Indeed, he was
quite smartly dressed-for him. A
bright yellow scarf, tied in a big
bow beneath his chin, made him
look almost dandified. And he
was wearing a bottle-green coat,
lined with pink,

you out somewhere to lunch"
Grismer smiled his curious, nom
committal smile and ushered him
into a big, whitewashed basement,
with a screen barring the further
end and quite bare except for q
few bits of furniture, some plaster
casts, and half a dozen revolving
tables on which stood unfinished
studies in clay and wax.

about him, then went over and
politely examined the studies in
clay.

For the wretchedness of his
quarters he made 10 further ap-
ology; he spoke in his easy,
amiable way and entirely without
embarrassment standing beside
Cleland and moving with him from
one study to another.
