payer writes M. Richards giving his
address and the square and lot num-
Der of the property owned.
Preparation of the real estate bills
numbering approximately 1000 have
been completed and they are ready for
distribution. These bills represent
about l75 900 pieces of property and
are based on the new tax rate Of
$3.50 per 500 of assessed valuation

property taxes about $6,000.000.

FATAL BLOW is DENIED.
Montreal Friends Say HOudfni Was
Ill on Arrival.

MONTREAL, November l P).-
Harry Houdini did not die of an injury
received on October %. but was so
sick when he came here that he was
under care of a trained nurse. two
men connected with his Montreal APP
pearance asserted today.
The magician's family in Detroit
expressed the opinion that the fatal
illness was due to blow dealt by a
McGill University student in testing
the magician's strength.
abb Wright, manager of the local
theater where Houdini recently APP
peared, said Houdini was i'll when he
came to Montreal and forced himself,
with great difficulty, to go through
with his performance.
DIR. William d. TAFT. professor of
psychology at the McGill University,
where Houdini delivered a lecture be-
fore the McGill Union. said there was
no encounter between the magician
and the student. as reported from

His assailant at that time was seized
by threatening crowd, but was pro-
tected from mob vengeance by the

by the bomb.
On April previously, just before
Mussolini's departure for Tripoli, Miss
Violet Gibson, an EnglishWoman, fired
shot which caused a slight injury to
the tip Of his nose. The attack was

in Rome. Miss Gibson has since been
declared insane by medical experts
testifying at her trial.
An attempt in November, 1925. was
frustrated when the police discovered
a plot to assassinate him bF the for
mer Socialist deputy, Zaniboni. On
Italy's Armistice day, as the premier
was on his way to make a speech
from his residence, Zaniboni was
found concealed in a nearby hotel
with a high-poWered rifle fitted with
telescope sights and set up in direct
line with the balcony where Mussolinl
was to stand.
Of the other two attempts on the
life Of Mussolini, no details were
made public. One of these attacks was
said to have been carried out. but
without effect, by a royal guard at
Chigi Palace in 1923, and the other In
1924, when he was reported to have
been shot at while travelling by motor
car from an outlying city to Rome.
Deemed Divinely Guarded.
The Italian people have come to
look upon Mussolini as specially pro-
tected by Divine Providence. He.
himself announced as the slogan of
his life, Live in danger" and has
repeatedly declared that he would
carry out all his plans for the better
ment of his country no matter what
happened, or what dangers con-
fronted him.
Recently law was passed in
Italy making it a capital crime to at
tack the premier, to be punished by
the extreme penalty.
At the celebration of the fourth an
niversary of the Fascist march on
Rome last Thursday, Mussolini re-
viewed the progress made under
Fascism. He prefaced his speech
with the words: ut is idiotic to de-
cry the regime of Fascism as having
produced an oligarchy with a cruel
and mysterious tyrant at its head. 1t
is equally absurd to accuse Fascism
Of being an unpopular regime and an
enemy Of the working classes"
Mussolini went to Reggie Saturday
to open the Pc Railroad and, as he
put it, ito start the fifth year Of
Fascism in inaugurating a new work,
which does honor to the nation"
