Discusses Taxation of Intaneibles
Many interesting subjects were
discussed by the lecturers at the
| closing sessions Of the conference
yesterday, among them being the
! topic, THE Ta~~''on of Intangible
Property" which was presented by
Hon. Clement S. Stetson of Greene,
past master of the State Grange and
chairman of the board of state asses
sors.
Mr. Stetson declared that it was
nearly nine years ago when he was
appointed a member of the board of
state assessors 1t had been his feel
ing that he might do his bit toward
making lighter the burden of taxa
ton in the state. He spoke Of the
plan which was put into effect for
increasing the valuation on property,
this plan resulting in increasing the
state caluation more than 100000. 900
since he has been a member of the
board. He told of the INCREASE in the
tax rate during this period.
Attention was called by Mr.. Stet-
son to the fact that there is esti-
maed to be in the state $500, 0O0, 900
worth of property in the state that
is not taxed-intangible property
consisting of stocks, bonds and other
evidences of Indebtedness. This pro-
perty is not taxed for the reason that
the local tax is so high owner do not
list it.
Mr.. Stetson told of the need of a
law making special provision for the
taxation of this class of property,
pointing out that measures having this
in view have been defeated three
times by the Legislature. He urged
the Grange lecturers to make this mat
ter the subject of discussion at some
of the Grange meetings, to awaken, if
possible, public sentiment for any
measure to relieve che people from the
the great burden of taxation.

lecturers during the question-box Pc

SAVES LIVES
OF 63 MINERS
(By Dispatch A. p Wira)


SCRANTON, Pa, May 27.-Sixty-
three men, trapped in the 11-foot vein
of Mount Lookout colliery of the
Temple Anthracite Coal company at
Wyoming, near here, were saved from
death by suffocation today by the
quick wit and courage of Thomas
Hislop, assistant mine foreman.
The fire broke out in the timbering
about 20 feet from the mouth Of the
shaft. Hislop Immediately went be-.
low. His son, Robert, employed az
the foot of the shaft was fighting
the blaze when the father ran through
the flames to give warning. The son
followed and aided in the rescue.
Realizing that it would take only a
matter of minutes to fill the entire
workings with the suffocating smoke,
TIislop and his son battled their way
through until they reached the doors
leading from the main tunnel to the
chambers. They threw open these
doors, diverting the air current and
causing it to carry the smoke back to
the shaft.
Hislop then ran from chamber to
chamber on each side, covering dis
tance of almost 5000 feet, warning the
workmen and herding them through
the smoke-filled tunnel, preventing
panic and finally reaching place of
safety.
The foreman held the 63 men i'm
the abandoned section for more than
five hours, when rescue crews sue
ceeded in getting through the flames
and fire fighters extinguished the
fire. Only one man was slightly in
.iured. Several men were sickened
from the smoke and others slightly
overcome.

Details of shanklin's kidnapping,
received by the embassy say that he
was taken prisoner by three armed
bandits Tuesday morning while rid
ing near the El Potrero sugar plan
tation in the state of Vera Cruz. The
three bandits delivered him to an
other band of nine men who carried
him off.
Briggs and Greedy whose capture
was reported today were captured
by British company. The bandits
attacked their oil camp on Wednes=
day, burned several bridges leading
to the place and retreated with fed
eral troops in pursuit.
The bandits who captured Shanklin
later sent letter to superintendent
McLane of Ell Potrero sugar planta
tion saying that Shanklin was safe
but that 10000 pesos were necessary
as ransom. McLane sent a mess
enger offering 1900 pesos when this
was refused McLane raised the
amount to 5000 but the bandits again
refused to accept it,
When the negotiations had reached
this deadlock the bandits sent final
message saying that they would kill
Shanklin this evening unless they re-
ceived the amount they demanded.
Shanklin is a native of Amarillo,
Texas, where his family resides. The
El Potrero property forms the sec
ond largest sugar plantation in Mex
leo. 1t is reported to be owned by
Mrs. Virginia King of New York.
The Mexican government has de.
clared it is doing it's utmost to re-
scue the five captured men. The
British legation declines to say at
present what action it will take re-.
garding the attack on the British oil
camp at El Aguila, where Briggs and
Greedy were made captive.
