the yard between the War Department

large mass of native copper from Onto

told by Father Charlevoix, Jesuit mis-

says;

JOHNSON CRITICIzES
 BOTH MAJOR PARTIES
Continued from First Page)

ment today, Alderman Johnson is-
 sued the following statement;
 There are a few facts which l would lilse to give to the public in connection with my candidacy for
 alderman fthe fourth ward in the
 council to succeed myself.
 Tn my opinion there is room for
 a great deal of improvement in both
 the republican and democratic
 parties, especially when We look at the way the city has been run for the last four years. One of the req sons why taxes are so high at the
 present time is because, during the last few years. the city has issued a great many short term bonds which they are paying on at the present time. This takes practically one mill of our taxes. When these bonds are paid up, and they will be paid up in three or four years, our city will enjoy lower tax rates. The total pay ment of bonds this year amounts to S5TS,500 and the interest and ex- pcnse of issuing these bonds costs the city S2So,241.25 which makes total Of sG10,741.25. This amount we are paying for today but received the benefits of years ago. The only remedy l can sec is to be very care- ful when issuing new bonds. The condition is similar to | person own ing his own home with first, second and third mortgages and having short term notes on top of that. When our indebtedness decreases our tax rate will be lower.
 'Regarding the tax rate for 1928 which is 26 mils-1-2 mill increase over last year. l was responsible for discontnulng the street sprinkling tax which has been collected in ad- ditlon to the regular tax. I felt that 1t Was q good move 10 discontinue this tax in view of the fact that the city has not sprinkled the streets in the city for several years, therefore the public should not be asked to pay for something 1t does not re- ccive.
 There has been consid era ble argument regarding the 1928 tax at 2G mills. Some think it is not sufli- cient to run the city efficiently but l believe and am fully convinced that It can be done. The board of financd and taxation recommended 26 1-2 lnills which l was very much against. The council reduced the rate to c6 mills. If the city is run economically and efficiently l believe there will still be q surplus at the end of our next fiscal year.
 Tt has given me a great deal of pleasure to be in the common coun- cli representing the fourth ward. l appreciate the confidence the elec- ors have had in me which they have proven by sending me to the coun- cil several times. If it is your desire to reclect me I will represent the people ln the same manner as would do regarding my own inter- ests. l have been in the insurance business for nine years and am not controlled by any political 'organiza- llon but can act to the interest of the people as q whole and not any small group. l believe it is the duty of each representative to represent his district and the entire city to the best of his abiity.'

EASTMAN'S FILMS 0F AFRICA BURNED
Cameranlan Himself Narrowly
 Escapes With Life

Cairo, Egypt, March fl LTN - George Eastman. camera manufac- turer of Rochester, x. Y. and the Eastman hunting party en route home from the heart Of Africa, were among passengers who narrowly es- capod when fire swept two coaches of a crowded train including their Pullman.
 All the films which Eastman had made on his trip were destroyed. adding 10 the fury Of the flames which threatened the cars occu- pants.
 ! Eastman just escaped in his pa jamas and members of his party similarly lost everything. When the camera manufacturer left the Cairo station this morning for Alexandria, his face was grim.
 On his arrival in Cairo aboard the train, which had come from Luxor, Eastman Was wearing a cap, a blue parsntly had been borrowed and slippers. The other members of the party were similarly attired al though some Of them had been able to get into borrowed suits. All look ed shaken and hurriedlv left to catch the delayed special for Alex andria to catch the White Star liner Doric.
 Most of the passengers on the train wzrr American tourists. The ira rowded and temporary coau4oa It = placed in first class carriage. Ii was here that the fire originated and then spread rapidly 10 the adjoining sleeper in which the Eastman party was travelling. The engineer stopped the train and this enabled the passengers to beat q nasty retreat in their sleeping gar ments through the windows.
 An American woman passenger said that the flames cnyeloped the corridor when the alarm was given and that the windows offered the only exit. The train was on a fair V steep embankment and the pas Sengers pushed one another through the windows. In their hurry to safety, some of them cut hands. parked shins. sprained ankles and bruised themselves, but these were the only mishaps.
 So short was the warning given by the flames that there was no time to save anything or to don suitable garments. Baggage and valuables were abandoned and everything was destroyed in the two coaches.
 Charles Prescott, British artist who had been accommodated in the first class coach told a reporter that he was awakened by smoke. opened his door and found flames raging outside. He said that he had somo fearful moments in trying 10 pull down his window shutter and final ly dived through the window in his pajamas.

Questioning Hays, Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, committee pros- ecutor. said he had information from what was considered a reliable source that Edward Young Clark, former high official of the klan, ha Id received s100,000 from the republi- can national committee, and asked the witness if he knew anything about it.
 Hays, pounding the table in anger and resenting the charge as false. asked Walsh where he got his infor- nation.
 The prosecutor replied that the committee would bring that out later.
 Clarke. in a statement at Macon, last night, denied having received any money from the republican committee.
 I positively did not get any money from the republican commit- tee," he said. and furthermore, I don't know where Walsh got his in formation"
