drawled Tom. "And especially after
that pep talk Jerry handed me this

grated. You're not falling down or

nights, when you ought to be burning

"And-and what did you say?"
questioned Prudence anxiousE.

the ofice, leaving me to hold down

Prudence seemed on the verge Of
tears. Would that be fair to Jerry?"
she questioned coldly. Business is
terribly dull. Oh. why won't you

"And so have l." assured Prudence.
That's why I've tried to make you
realize your responsibilities. II you'd

put in Tom grimly. II thought for

He strobe abruptly from the office.
There we're a dozen statesmen in the
home territory, and Jerry was hardly
out Of town when sales went haywire.
Tom was avalanched with alibis and
excuses. 1t was the dull time Of year,
and there was little demand for Up
shooto parasols and umbrellas, which
shot up by pressing button on the
handle. (You touched a button, and,
presto!-you were under the umbrella
or parasol-if the spring worked. II
not you were out Of luck.)
It hadn't rained for q month and
the weather was foggy. Nobody
wanted umbrellas to keep OF water or
parasolS to sidetrack sunshine.
Prudence was very unhappy. She
questioned Tom about his future. but
he evaded the subject. "All can think

Mrs. Williamson explained that the

Soon after the secret was out the
money stopped. Many theories were
advanced, but the actual source has

Little credence is put in the theory
that pirates lost a treasure chest of

Many believe robbers, who had looted

TAX
GROUP ORGANIZED
Commissioners Meet for
Two Days in Chicago.
Plan 1885 Session.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, December l5.-TaX COM
missioners of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Min
nesota experimental this week in
bringing the problem of taxation un-
der a common focus of study, and
were so successful an informal seven
State organization was formed. 1t
was agreed to hold another confer
ence in March, 1885.
Six of the seven States border on
the Great Lakes, and Melville B. Nc
Pherson of Michigan proposed to es-
tablish a permanent clearing house for
information. claiming it would enable
the Lake States to collect taxes on
hundreds OF vessels now evading the
law. 1t is probable such clearing
house will be created for this and
other mutually advantageous purposes.
Uniform Tax Laws Urged.
Michigan also urged passage of uni
form tax laws affecting intangibles
in order to prevent large corporations
from evading taxation by claiming
domicile in States not levying against
stocks.
Ohio contributed an account OF the
operation of its classified property tax.
Under this law the State had been
able to levy on $3,80O,000,0 900 Of as
sessed intangible property in 1888, as
compared with $902,000000 in 1890,
according to Commissioner A. j.
Krause. Ohio's l per cent property
tax limitation, however, was reported
as working rather badly. County op-
ton obtains in its operation. Two
thirds of the municipalities have
voted taxes above the limitation, and
those that have adopted it are ex-
periencing much difficulty in obtain
ing adequate revenue. Illinois, where
there has been much agitation for
tax limitation on real estate, was
specially interested in this report.
State Assessment Favored.
DR.. Simeon Leland of Illinois urged
that assessment should be State
function, and that there should be
stronger control over the matter of
tax collection. He declared that only
licenses are suitable sources of rev.
enue for local administration.
Barnett Hodes, also of Illinois, as
serted experience showed that the
State was much better fitted for COL
lecting certain types of tax, such as
the gasoline tax, than the municipal
tiles. and approved the method where
by the State shares such revenue on
proportionate basis with the munich
palities. In the application of this
principle he saw the possibility Of
meeting the needs Of public schools,
a pressing problem in Illinois, and
some other of the seven States.
Beyond discussion and decision to
meet again, no action was taken.

GREAT LAKES SAILORS
WERE SAFER IN 1894
Only Five Lost Lives in Four
Major Shipwrecks in Past
Shipping Season.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 15.-Sailors
were safer on the Great Lakes in "a.
Thanks to q kindlier storm god and
the eternal vigilance OF the Coast
Guardsmen, only four major ship
wrecks were marked down on the log
of the Lakes this shipping season
and only five sailors failed to come
back to port.
Two hundred lives, or more, were
lost on the five lakes-but these were
luckless swimmers, unskilled canoeists,
amateur yachtmen and handful OF
aviators caught by trouble of shore.
The Coast Guards saved countless
others, and-between patrols - had
time to rid Lake Michigan of band
of modern pirates"
Most spectacular Of the Coast Guard
feats was the rescue Of the crew of
the Henry Cort, December /. Be-
labored by mountainous seas and
cropping for a safe harbor in a bliz-
zard, the 315-foot whaleback steamer
was driven against the Muskegon,
Mich, breakwater. Five guardsmen
attempted to yeach the foundering
freighter in q small boat. Their tiny
craft was swamped. Surfman John Di-
pert was drowned. But at dawn Q
line was shot aboard the Cort and
her crew Of rs pulled to safety.
