PERU TO ASK
MORE DETAILS
OF US. AWARD
Note on Subject Now Being
Prepared For Delivery to
State Department
TERMS NOT MADE PUBLIC
Peruvian Government Ex-
Dected to Abide by Ruling
of President Coolidge
TERMS NOT MADE PUBLIC

Washington. March 30.-(By the A.
PA request for amplification of
some of the features of the Tacna-
africa arbitration award probably
will be laid before the American
Government within few days by
Peru.
A note on the subject is in pre-
paration and although Peruvian en-
bassy officials decline to forecast its
terms there are indications that it
will call attention to recent reports
Of illegal practices by Chile to in
fluence the Forthcoming plebiscite in
the disputed province Of TacnaArica
and will suggest the advisability OF
measures to prevent such practices.
Something of sensation has de-
veloped over the note before hand
because of the publication of erron-
eous reports that it already had been
delivered to the State Department
secretly and that it was couched in
language of unusual sharpness.
There was feeling of relief today
when it became generally known in
Latin-American diplomatic quarters
that no diplomatic steps had been
taken so far by the Lima government
and that the published forecast Of
the terms of the communication was
not authorized by the Peruvian en-
bassy. Present indications are that
the note will not constitute refus-
al to abide by President Coolidge {
arbitration award, nor contain any
"dcmands' for modification.
After calling attention to reports
Of Chilean atrocities that might af-
feet the results Of the forthcoming
plebiscite in the province, the COM
munication will suggest that ma
tive constabulary be organized to re-
place the present Chilean garrisons
in TacnaArica until after the elec-
tion.
This will constitute the principal
point to be covered in the representa-
tions which win be couched in cour-
teous terms calculated to give no
offense to the American government
or reflect on the integrity of Pres
ident Coolidge as an arbitrator.

Hartford, Conn, March 3O.--Alfred
4. Atwater, a New Britain police Off
Ger, testified today that he had seen
Gerald Chapman, sensational mail
looter, shoot patrolman James Skel-

last October H.
Dramatically pointing to Chapman,
who was seated at his attorneys
table, he said in tense tones: THAT

Chapman did not finch under the
accusation nor did he abandon his
indolent pose. His cold blue eyes
however, never left the policeman's
face.

Groehl demanded. That's right"
Atwater replied.
Atwater admitted he had discussed
the case with brother officers since
the trial began. He denied he had
told a grocer on his beat that he
could not recognize Skelly's mur-
derer.
"His reputation was that he was
quick fellow with a gum" Atwater
said when pressed for reasons for
his failure to assist Skelly. A mo-
ment later he admitted he had known
at that time that the gunman was
Chapman.
Chapman retained his cool demean-
or throughout Atwater's recital. He
did not abandon his slothful attitude
in his chair though he kept his cold
eyes on Atwater's face throughout
his story on the stand.
Henry Heller Of New Britain,
clerk, identified Chapman as a man
he had seen rushing from the Davi-
son and Leventhal store just after
he heard three shots.

ICE SWEEPS
DOWN RIVER
AFTER BREAK
Danger of Flood Is Slight,
Officials of Weather
Bureau Believe
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
Little Damage Reported From
Points Along Missouri;
Ice Easily Broken

Although probabilities of flood
from the ice breakup in the Mis-
souri, river are slight, every precau-. ,,
ton has been taken by the United
States Weather Bureau in Bismarck
to send out warnings by telephone
and messenger to residents adJa-
cent to the river if flood danger
should arise.
The breakup came Saturday after
noon. The river was at nine feet,
two inches at the time Of the break
and stood at 10 feet, six inches at Z
a. m. Sunday. The water had fallen
to eight feet, six inches at a. M
today and is not expected to 60
w. Roberts, official in charge of the
Weather Bureau here.
Only one gorge has formed since
the breakup. according to informa-
ton received from points along the
river. That was at Fort Clark. The
bottom lands there were flooded
and there was some damage to hay.
The gorge at Fort Clark broke early
Fthis morning.
The ice going under the bridge
here is "a inches thick but II inches
Of it is honeycombed. Mr.. Roberts
stated. He said that the ice will all
be out OF the river WITHIN two days.
The only danger of a flood is in
gorges at narrow bends along the
river Mr.. Roberts stated However,
the ice is soft and easily broken
and he does not expect gorges will
form.
Reports received here are that the
Missouri river is open from the
junction Of the jefferson, Madison
and Gallatin rivers to it's mouth.
The river reached 13 feet at Wash
burn this morning, according to re-
ports received at the Weather Bu-
reau here.
A heavy head Of water flowing
into the Missouri river from the
Yellowstone caused the early break
up this year. The waters from the
Yellowstone flowed under the ice in
the Missouri and caused it to break
free from the banks and buckle.

FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS
How to Equalize the Tax Burden.

Two things, if done properly, will 60 far to-
wards re-adjusting the present tax situation in
Bismarck.
Frst:-A complete and scientific adjustment
of all tax assessments real estate. The present
valuations hodge-podge the result of years of
growth and some favoritism. The assessor is not
to blame for no one man, however competent, is
capable of doing the big work efficiently and thor
oughy, especially in the short time allotted to him.
1t should be done by committees and only after
thorough study of every angle of the problem.
Real estate and others should help in de-
termining land values. Builders, plumbers, ETC.,
should assist in fixing building or structural
values 1t is no small job but when once COM
pleted it will stand for a number of years, and
will reduce the future assessment work to keep
ing track of new buildings and reductions due
to destruction In other words, keep the records
up to date. That is the method pursued in all
we'll regulated communities. 1t is not
No such thoroughgong valuation has ever
been made IN Bismarck. 1t S about time that
the inequalities and the favortism be remedied,
and each person and piece Of property be made to
bear it's fair share of the tax burden If jory of
of the city fathers unwilling that everyone shall
be treated impartiay, then the state tax commits
sioner may be appealed to as the law permits him
to do this very thing

to collect all colectibe delinquent taxes. The

the city government for nearly an entire year, if
it can be gathered in. Here is statement covering
