WASHINGTON, July 81
William Jennings Bryan will
rest tonight in warrior s
grave beside the unknown SOL
der and generals and privates
IN the ranks who died in battle.
Today his body lay in state in the
church of the Presidents F." wealth
er-stained red brick edifice envel.
oped by trees in the center of the
busting capital.
Through the night, when all the
lights Of the city were dark, three
comrades in arms of the Spanish
American war stood sentinels at his
bier Twenty thousand persons had
marched up in line through the
front door yesterday to see the Com.
moner.
Funeral at 2:45
This morning the DR. ors were again
thrown open, and despite a driz-
zling rain, more came to view his
body. They were admitted from s: 80
a. m. until noon, when the church
was to be closed to the public in
preparation for the final funeral
service, which was to begin at 2:45
p. m.
The services were to open with
the singing Of Lead, Kindly Light"
DR.. Joseph r. SiZoo was to enter the
church chanting Christian anthem.
The Twenty-Five and Ninth Psalms
were to be read. The latter was
selected by Mrs. Bryan because it
embodies the creed Of fundamental.
ism for which he died.
Army Band to Play
The hymn, Faith of Our Fathers
Living Still" was to be sung and
with only slight military touch the
body was to be borne to the grave
on the knoll at Arlington.
The funeral cortege on it's journey
to the grave was to march through
the center Of the capital At the
gate of the cemetery, the batteries
from the Sixteenth Field Artillery
and the Third Cavalry Band were
to meet it to escort the casket to
its final resting place.
Only brief services were to be held
at the grace. An army bugler was
to sound taps.
Despite her condition and the
strain Of the ceremony, Mrs. Bryan
Is said to be as well as might be
expected. She was to be carried to
the church services and to the grave
side because paralysis prevents her
walking.

Increases for Valuation in
Fifty-0ne Counties Rec
commended by State
Board to Local Review
Officials.
MARION COUNTY NOT
AFFECTED BY ORDER
Only One City and Three
/ Townships Favored by
Decrease-WiII Be Passed
Upon by Local Groups
Tuesday.

AS a result of equalization
orders sent out today by the
State tax board to the boards Of
review in ffty-one counties, it
is believed that at least $50,000,-
900 will be added to the total
tax valuation of Indiana for
this year as set by local tax Of
fcials.
Marion County was not affected.
Although the exact effect of to-
days equalization recommendations
could not be computed at once, the
increase in land valuations alone will
be probably $4,000, 900, according to
Philip Zoercher, member Of the
board.
Last year the total State veIua-
ton was $500, ,72S. When the
tax board had before it the original
valuations this year a loss of nearly
$125, 100000 was disclosed. Today's
action will reduce this figure to a
point below $75,OOO,oOO. Zoercher
thought.
Increases Vary
Land valuations In thirty-four
counties were increased by the
boards orders, tbs increases rang
ing from 8 per cent in Benton and
Delaware Counties to 20 in Fountain
County. Jennings County land was
raised Is Per cent.
In eight counties 10 per cent in
creases were ordered and in ten
other counties per cent increases
In other counties Of the thirty-four,
partial changes were recommended
affecting one of more townships.
In seventeen counties adjust
ments affecting only cities and towns
were ordered. The board ordered a
SO per cent increase on land i'm
provements in Warren County and
a per cent increase on land. A
rs per cent increase on improve
ments was recommended for Jasper
County and a 20 per cent increase
on Improvements for Montgomery
County.
One Reduction
Reduction was ordered in only one
county. The board recommended a
3 per cent decrease in three town
ships in Union County, which will
result in a valuation decrease Of
about $2S0,000. Only one city in the
State received an order to decrease
valuation.
The tax board finding that a local
committee in Sullivan had increased
the city out of all proportion rec
commended the 10 per cent decrease.
In other cities. increases ordered
ranged all the way from per cent
to 100 per cent. The 100 per cent in.
crease was ordered for Cannelton, in
Perry County, in order that the
board of review might make a COM
plete adjustment.
Orders issued by the State board
y will cause the county boards of re-
view to reconvene Tuesday, when
they are expected to carry out the
recommendations.

Ostensibly a gathering to protes.
the widening of L. New York 81,
the assembly, stirred by the adj
dresses of Otto Ray and Ira Bramb'
lett, insurgent councilmen, resolved
itself into a testimonial meeting to
enrmerate the shortcomings Of the
Shank administration.
Board Assailed
The board of works bore the
brunt of the attack. Ray and other
speakers demanded an explanation
from the board OF preparation Of as
sissment roll for widening Of Z. New
York st. anr procedure with plans
before the city council had adopted
the thoroughfare plan. which they
said was drafted to coordinate ar
rangements for opening traffic IA
cilities for the east side.
"Why does the board hasten to
widen New York st. before the plan
is adopted?" Ray demanded. TITS
common knowledge about the city
hall that the board does nothing
without the sanction of Bill Ar
mitage, and that's why they are
trying to push II through. There's
hardly a meeting Of the board In
the famous rear room without the
presence OF Bill Armitage.
And we all know Bin Armitage
isn't spending his time at the city
hall for nothing. especially in the
vicinity of the board OF works.
Hop on Armitage
Its time people Of Indianapolis
demanded from their political parties
that they throw off the control of
Armitage which has prevailed for
many years. Even the members OF
city council. elected by the people,
are forced to ask William Armitage
before they can obtain rights for
the people of their districts"
Ray assailed the park board for
spending money hand over fist on
the north side" while other parts Of
the city took a back seat.
Can you hold the board Of works
to what they tell your" was the
question raised by Samuel Harrig,
262 N. Temple Ave, who declared
the board had paved Summit ST.,
from Southeastern Ave. to Bates st.
with asphalt when property owners
asked for concrete paving.
Clerk Is Blamed
Harrig said when he demanded an
explanation he was told at the as
sessment bureau office. under juris.
diction of the board, that the change
resulted from an error by clerk Of
the bureau.
But as property owners we had
to pay for the mistake" Harrig said
ruefully.

ministration trenches recently when
