many of his compatriots with US II
the past, men distinguished in s;ate-

first to sense American thought and

It takes something more than sheer
ability to understand properly the psy-

seems to have learned in the few busy
weeks he was here was that we are
peace-Ioving generous people, but badly
Informed as to foreign affairs and not at

Furopeans have in mind. Therefore, It

Shaw was on his way to get some
packing near E. switchboard in the base

a man stepped from behind a door and
slugged him over the head with what
the police say was "Llackjack." Shaw
yelled as he was struck and his assail-
ant ran.
The police found the assailant entered
the building by breaking the glass from
a basement window. Blood near the win
dow indicated that the man had cut his
hand. Shaw told the police he recently
had trouble with Sloan, who formerly
was a day fireman at the Long Hos

they found splotches of blood on the bed,
the police arrested him on a charge of

HONEYMOON OF
FTFTY-STX YEARS
ENDED BY DEATH
Watters0n'S Domestic Life
Marked by Unusual Tender
ness and Affection.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 22-The death
of Colonel Henry Watterson interrupts
one of the most beautiful rOmances of
American history-a ffty-six-year honey
moon
1t was the year after the Civil War,
1865. that Colonel Watterson won the
hand Of Miss Rebecca Ewing, reigning
belle OF Nashville, Tenn, and on Tues
day Of this week they celebrated the
fifty sixth anniversary Of that event.
1t is no secret in Louisville that COloneI
Watterson with his brilliancy and great
mentality, was like & child in his loving
dependence upon his sweetheart, for
sweetheart she always was to him.
Through half a century of public life
which took them to all the capitals of
the world, Mrs. Watterson was always
with the Colonel. He could scarcely get
along without her, even for few days
at a time. In years gone by. when Col
onel Watterson was winning his fame, he
often INDUCED freely in the cup that
cheers and had a weakness for friendly
game of poker, but wherever he might be,
II he recognized signs of falling under
the influence of either the cup or the
game he always sent for his "Rebecc9'
and she always came. When he went
on lecture tours in the earlier years he
nd not hesitate to telegraph for her
ana she never failed him.
The rearing of five children never in
terferred with this married love affair.
Their golden we iding, celebrated six
years ago, was one of the most memora-
Bile events in the annals of American
married life.
A touching fact, illustrating Colonel
Watterson's great dependence upon Mrs.
Watterson. especially in his later years,
is revealed in the remark of one of their
| dearest friends:
II am so glad he went frst--be would
have been abjectly. pitifully miserable
without her"

SYSTEM WRONG,
SAYS ASSESSOR
Sneaker Maintains High
Rates Result From Low
Valuations.

State taxes should not be used as
political "footbalf't as they-haTe been IN
the mast and probably will be used in
the future. W. D. Cox, assessor Of Parke
County, told the twenty-sixth annual
co1vention of assessors. which adjourned
today. following threeday session IN
the Statehouse.
Low valuations. according to Mr. Cox,
are the cause of the present high taxes
When the property OF the states IS val
ued at its true cash value, he said, the
taxes are lower. because it does not ne
eessitate such a large levy to raise the
amount Of money needed By the state
EARN lands and cattle are now be-
Ing valued at their true cash values
bur these valuations are too high, be-
cause the owners can not realize their
taxable valuation at a SALE Mr. Cox
said.
1T is very essential that rigid economy
be practiced by both our State and Ma
tiouaI Government. because II the taxes
are not reduced people will sell their real
estate and taxable property and invest
their money in non taxable securities
Those 6 and per cent securities which
are taxable should be assessed at their
full face value"
". H Wenger, engineer for the state
tax commission, urged that the assessors
and tax commissioners teach the tax
PAYERS the difference between real and
personal property.
Next year We viii have before us the
valuation Of real estate he said 1t viii
be necessary for US n be very careful,
because some people will class every
thing possible as personal property.
Then, when we value personal property
the next year, they will class the prop
erty which last year they said was per
sonaI property as improvements, thus
avoiding having their property on the
tax duplicates"

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The greatest
concerted movement since the war
to restore normal and stable eco
nomic conditions in Europe will be
undertaken shortly after the first of
the year. The inter-allied supreme
council will meet at Cannes the first
week in January to discuss industrial
and financial conditions. A general
European conference, to which neu-
trails will be invited, will follow.
1t is probable both Germany and
Russia will participate, as well as the
United States. The meeting will be
modelled after the Washington con-
ference.
BUSINESS MEN
TO BE CALLED IN.
For the first time since the treaty
OF Versailles was drawn up, business
men viii be called in officially to dis
cuss reparations and help to solve the
grave problem which hangs over Europe.
Premier Lloyd George tomorrow VIII
lay before the leaders Of British finance
and industry the problems which he has
discussed with NJ. BRAND. The French
premier will do the same In Paris next
week.
1t was learned that throughout the
conversation. N. BRAND urged a receiver
ship for Germany, but 1t was blocked by
Great Britain.
'The British experts would not recon-
mend interference with or control Of the
German administration in Berlin" said
the French Premier. They did agree,
however, that the allies might control
German exports and that the German
administration at Berlin might be tight
ened by an allied commission which
would sit IN that city to watch govern
ment affairs in the event of moratorium.
CONFERENCE
Is SUCCESSFUL.
MY conversations with Premier Lloyd
George were both agreeable and frank.
We reached an agreement which will
form the basis of discussions at the SUI
preme council meeting at Cannes in the
/ FIRST week in January.
Reports that we agreed on united
three party action by England, France
and Germany are untrue"
An official statement was issued at the
British Premier's official residence, say

agreed that German reparations could

tion OF the restoration Of Europe
The recommendations drawn up by the
British and French Industrial and fnan-
