DEATH CLAIMS SEVENTH
 VICTIM OF AIR CRASH
Pilot of English Airplane Last of Seven Passengers
 To Die From Injuries

Paris, April 8. (By Associated Press)-R. F.. Duke, pilot of the Eng fish plane which crashed into a French Goliath on the Paris London aerial express route yesterday near Thieulloy, died in the hospital at Beauvais today without recovering consciousness. Duke was the only person in either machine to survive the crash and his death brought the total of those killed to seven.
 Both Flying Low.
 Low visibility, caused by low hang ing clouds and mist is given as the primary cause of the catastrophe. Both pilots were flying low at the time. keeping the railroad tracks in sight so as not to lose their way and this brought them together head on.
 The French company operating the Goliath which was carrying three pas- sengers has issued a statement declar- ing that their pilots have perfect knowledge of the route which they have been covering for a year. The British machine owned by new com pany had only been in the London Paris service three days.
 British Plane Sighted.
 It seems certain that those in the Goliath saw the English machine at least some seconds before the crash, as when the body of Mrs. Christopher Bruce Yule was found. hand was pressed to her eyes as though to shut out the sight of the impending col lision.
 Besides Mrs. Yule, the dead are:
 Her husband, who was a New York exporter; M. Bouriez another pas senger; Pilot Mire of the Goliath and his mechanic and Pilot Duke and the cabin boy of the English machine.
 In the investigation the theory is being advanced in some quarters that air suction, due to the action of the propelers was a factor in prevent ing the pilots from avoiding each other.
 No Cancellations
 Tie booking agencies announced today there had been no cancellations on account of the accident. There are eight airship conpanies operating service between Paris and London with combined fleet of 50 machines with accommodations in each ma chine for from two to 12 persons. All the companies conduct a. daily serv- ice some of them flying two airships d day.

HANDS OFF FOR JAPAN

Toxic, May 2.-Japan, according
to the foreign Office. is adhering
her policy Of non-interference in
China and will take no action in
connection with the present dis
turbed conditions in that country
without consultation with the pow
ers especially Great Britain and
the United States if action seems
necessary, and will observe the
agreement not to supply either fac
tion with arms and ammunition.
Yukichi, Japanese minister to China,
who has broken off his visit to To-
kio, to return to his post, carries
instructions to this effect. it was
stated.
Japan has been advised that thus
far no anti-foreign feeling prevails
in China, but she is taking precau-
tions, in common with the other
powers for the protection of her. ma
tionals 1t is considered here that
Sun-Yat Sen, Of the Southern gov
ernment is without practical infiu-
ence. in the present strife owing
to differences in his cabinet with
regard to the agreement with
Chang Tsao-Lin, so that whatever
the result of the present fighting
conditions in China are likely to
remain unsettled.
The Japanese troops available in
case of necessity consist of a bat
talon Of infantry at Kankow, 1,1O0
men distributed among Peking,
Tien-Tsin and Shanhaikwan and
along the Peking- Mukden Railway,
and battalion at Tsingtao.
A division is stationed at Dairen
and six battalions along the South

Killed by Trains, 5,5s7.

Washington, March 23.-American
railroad operation last year resulted
in the accidental death OF 5.5S7 per-
sons and the injury of 43324, accord
ing to compilations made public to-
day by the interstate commerce com
mission. This was, however, a de-
crease under the totals reported for
1920, when t,4o5 persons were KILLED
accidentally and o3 $50 injured. The
commission estimated the decrease in
number Of PERSONS killed was IA per
cent and 81 per cent in the number
injured, and expressed the belief that
the report REFLECTED the falling off in
traffic which occurred in 1921.
AS in former years a large proper
ton OF the victims were trcspassers
cn railroad property, 2,432 OF the
dead and 1890 OF the injured being
classified as such.

GOVERNOR HYDE TO ADMIT
EXCESSIVE AND UNJUST
TAX BURDEN IMPOSED
Executive and Republican Board of
Equalization to Write Confes-
sioa in Certifying Returns
to Assessors.

Jeffel son City, March 25.-Wher
Governor Hyde and the other mem
Lers OF the Republican state board OF
equalization fix the assessment for
1922 taxes within a few days, they
will confess to the people of Missouri
that they imposed excessive, exorbi-
tant and unjus. tax busdens upon
every farmer and home owner of the
state last year through an abnormal
| fractional assessment.
Governor Hyde, who has attempted
| in many political speeches during the
last few months to tell the people
that he did not raise taxes, will write
the confession to the people in certl-
wing the returns to the county asses
sors.
In adopting the assessments recon-
mcnded by the state tax commission
and there is every reason to believe
that they will I've adoptd with. few
minor changes because the Governor
controls the two Republican members
of the commissioned aggregate as
sessments of 1o7 counties will be de-
creased under tie figures of 1921.
Instead of having a true valuation
OF all property in the state for taxa
tion purposes--a condition which
Governor Hyde declared he was de-
tcrmincd to bring about-the state
will have high fractional assess
ment This means that the farmers
and home owners will be forced to
pay higher taxes than under lower
fractional assessment.
That Governor Hyde is attempting
to save his own political scalp by di-
1ecting tic taN commission to recon-
mend decreases in aome Of the coun
ties, is the belief in political circles
at the capital.
The governor has repeatedly
ignored the plain provisions OF the
law -pfa4iding for a Democratic mem |
Der OF the commission. The two Re
publican members OF the commission,
Rov II. Moner OF Carrollton, and /
George Magee OF ST. Louis, are sub
,cryient to the will OF the governor |
and do his bidding in manipulating
tax matters.
In fixing the assessment for 1922 |
axes, the governor and his board
will confess that they illegally forced
farmers and home owners to pay
taxes on approximately $25o,ooo,ooo
ortf of property last year. This WI
,e the amount deducted from the
o2I assessment.
However, the farmers in IS counties
viii continue to be hit hard by the
Ugh tax policy of the Hyde admins
ration because the tax commission
.as recommended increases for the
and values in that number of coun-
les over the returns of the county
assessors. Decreases were recon-
nendcd in Fl counties i'll the returns

y county assessors were accepted as
