State Boara of Equalization Finds * &crepat«a® ' - «• y;.- • &«*** 1H0NTS GIVES IT ALL AWAY • % + " ( • • • * Presidentof Chicago A Alton Tolls J|'*|§ Stockholder#. Property Is Worth $128,000,000---Cook County As- ^ oessors Mis* $15,000,000.4 > " Springfield.--On the eve of ike ad­ journment of the state board of equal­ ization, the railroads and corporation lobbies have been startled by the re- • porta coming from the closed rooms of the committees, that serious discrep­ ancies have been discovered in some of the schedules, involving the escape of millions of dollars' worth, of tax- •..^.pble property. According to memMrs « the board hare had their attention called particularly to the schedule, ftled by the Chicago & Alton Railway Company over jthe affidavit on the i value of the road's property by ita vice-president, George H. ROSB. By accident it was, discovered that re­ ports of the same company to the rail- tfcad. and warehouse commission and Y/ to Poor's Manual for Investors did not tally with that made to the equalizers "vtoF him for the purpose of taxation. -4^ ; The discrepancies amount of many millions of dollars. « T Right in the midst of the board's »ssion President Shonts of the Alton, l&ttdressing the annual meeting of its Stockholders, announced the property to be worth $128,000,000, which was so much greater than Mr. Rosa* esti­ mate for taxation that it created a mild sensation. Efforts to get some explanation from .r,.tfce company for the great variance jfB its reports have not been success­ ful. uu-aThe rumors that those matters were 'Wing investigated naturally caused ^ttheaeincss among other railroads. > Among the things which comparison fit the different Chicago ft Alton re­ ports with each other brought out are ,.i|he following: That, while Mr. Ross swears that the three-fourths of the property, «rhlch, in Illinois, is worth about $25,- 0,000, Mr. Shonts says the entire •property is worth $123,000,000. ^4" That the local assessors in the Illi- *liois counties through which the road have assessed the lands and real ostate of the company at figures that look like travesty on taxation. ^1 in Sangamon county, Including • jffoperty in Springfield, the company : owns 659 acres, assessed at $101 an acre. In Logan county the company ' lands/ Including city property in Lin­ coln, are assessed at $70 an acre. In .Morgan, the 559 acres are assessed at ' |8G an acre; In Livingston the 655 .meres at $80 an acre. The farm lands through which It J |SJns are selling In these counties from 1 $150 to $225 an acre, while the city property is of almost Inestimable ,yalue, especially in Springfield, where yards and dei>ots are in the center Of the city. The board found that the company tihops at Bloomington, including all , tj»eir equipment and tools, have been assessed at only $198,000 and that the locomotives have been averaged at rl?U. Most startling, however, is the dis- u«6very that the assessors In Cook f-eounty failed to And some $15,000,000 T worth of stocks and bonds which the ^ Alton Railway Company owns. ! s These stocks and bonds are listed to the railroad and warehouse com- .mission and to Poor's Manual at a par value of $15,326,000 and the road places a cash value upon them of $10,- 602,475. But they are not listed for taxation by the company. As the company headquarters are in Cook county, they should be assessed there. Illinois Whisky. Reports from Washington show that the state of Illinois paid $42,441,784 internal revenue during the last fiscal year, or about 18 per cent.--nearly one-fifth--of its entire internal reve-i nue collected. And all but a compara­ tively small portion of this was on whisky--or proof spirits--at the rate of *1.10 o gallon. The Illinois whisky producers did not suffer from the temperance wave which reduced the total revenue receipts some $5,000,000, "but continued to do business with an increasing prosperity that shows they find a ready market. Illinois makes something over two thousand barrels erf whisky a day, and dally ships two trainloads of it to the east, most of which is for the common or bar variety of consumption. With a tax of $1.10 a gallon and a selling price of $1.37 a gallon the producer gets only 27 cents for his goods, but even at this there is a profit of some­ thing like 15 cents a gallon--the usual price of a bar drink--profit, so it will be seen that the industry affords to Its owners a pretty large net daily in­ come. But besides this many thou­ sands of barrels are shipped to Japan and to Mare Island for use in making smokeless gunpowder, to other places for compounding patent medicines, ex­ tracts and essences, and a large quan­ tity is used by* schools and colleges in labratory and biological work. And all of the spirits that are used in the arts and sciences or are exported are exempt from revenue; so while the price on this class of goods Is smaller, the profit is greater for the manufac­ turer. I Another Rest in Risk Proba. ' ,;v The Illinois fire insurance co«rtnS<K sion appointed by Gov. Deneen to con­ sider the advisability of proposed state regulation of insurance rates suspended its session in Chicago. It was announced by the commis­ sioners that hearings in Chicago prob­ ably will be resumed within a few weeks. The three witnesses examined were H. C. Eddy, president of the under­ writers' laboratories; W. tt. Merrill, superintendent of the same institution, and Charles H. Persch, publisher of the Illinois rate estimates outside of Chicago. • Mr. Eddy was questioned concern­ ing the value of the laboratories to the economics of fire insurance in Illi­ nois. He said the laboratories were supported by the insurance interests, and that the stock companies had con­ tributed $200,000 or more for the con­ struction of the building and the maintenance of the work. Mr. Merrill told the commissioners of the tests of wire glass, wire glass shutters and other fire resisting ma­ terial. Attention also was paid to elec- erical wiring, gas engines and other apparatus likely to be dange^us if Im­ properly installed. * j I MATED MOB Ncyfu Murderer of miss Fgifey Dies at Cairo, OTHER VICTIM A WHITE MAN Sheriff and Police Officiate Powerless ---Gov.

This news was given out here by Secretary Koch, who was in Vicks­ burg with the members of the Illinois commission to look over the memo­ rial and to ascertain just what names had been omitted. He says immediate steps will be taken to have these names placed In the memorial, and a bronse plate containing them will be put there as soon as possible. Women Condemn Mob Rule. » Mob rule was denounced and the es­ tablishment of an annual "peace day" advocated at the session of the fif­ teenth annual convention of Federated Woman's Clubs in Oak Park. A resolution passed demanding the Inalienable right of trial by jury was occasioned by the lynching of a white man :>nd a negro at Cairo, 111.

Cairo, ni.--Two men, one a negro, the other a white man, were lynched here by a mob of over 10,000 infuri­ ated men and women. Will James, the confessed slayer of Miss Anna Pelley. and who implicated Arthur Alexander, was strung up to a steel arch at Eighth and Co mm ere is! streets and then shot to death because the rope which suspended him broke. Time after time the negro, standing under the brilliantly lighted arch, was lifted up above the heads of the crowd in order that they might see him. A rope was secured and a man climbed upon the arch and lowered it so that the noose could be put argund the negro's neck. While this was going on there was a steady roar that coulg be heard a block away and above the sound were the cries, "Burn him, burn him, burn him." The first rope broke. Then they dragged the negro up Eighth street toward the levee and shot him to death in the middle of the block, then dragged the body up to Ohio street and up to Tenth and getting a ladder for kindling wood they took the negro over to Wash­ ington avenue, and up the street. Before he was strung up he was given a chance to confess and he ad­ mitted the crime, implicating Arthur Alexander, one of the suspects arrest­ ed Tuesday. Seize and Lynch White Man. After the mob had burned Jamete to a crisp they forced an entrance Into the county jail to get a criminal, out named' Henry Salzner, charged with wife murder. The mob searched for Jailer Ed­ ward Abemathie to get the keys of the cells from him, but he had gone to a hiding place hoping the mob would not force an entrance without the keys. But the mob hammered and knocked on Salzner's cell until he was extricated and then amid the cheers of 2,000 he was taken to the corner and given a hearing. Salzner accused his two sifters of being the ones who killed his wife, but his statements were weak. He begged of the mob not to take his life, but to no avail. He was given a few minutes In which to pray and was then al­ lowed time to make a confession, which he did not do. He was then hung to a telograph pole a block from the courthouse. The mob fired sev­ eral shots into his body. 8Heriff Appeals to Governor. Sheriff Davis' appeal to Gov. De­ neen for aid resulted in the governor ordering out Company K of Cairo, and ten other companies under command of Gen. Wells of Decatur, who re­ stored order. *' With some 350 members of the Fourth regiment of the Illinois Na­ tional Guard in the streets and about the jail, and with Arthur Alexander, the last of the negroes arrested in connection with the killing here of Miss Anna Pelley, safely out of town, the- mob spirit, which had ruled Cairo for several days, was subdued. Implicates Alexander in Crime. Alexander, who was implicated in the murder of Miss Pelley by the dying statement of James, the con­ fessed murderer, one of the victims of the mob, was rushed to Champaign and lodged in jail there by his heavy guard. The run was made on a fast train and few stops were made. The negro was escorted from the jail to a special train on the Illinois Central railroaB by a heavy force of militia, two companies of which were assigned to the duty of guarding the train. There were Jeers and'defiance for the mHitia from the small crowd that witnessed the departure. The destina­ tion of the prisoner was ke^jt. secret. Coroner Returns Verdicts. The local authorities left the ^ dis­ position of the prisoner to the state officials and turned their attention to the murder of Miss Pelley and the riots. Coroner's verdicts were ren­ dered on both of the men lynched, In each case the jury finding that "he came to hlf death by injuries at the hands of persons unknown to us." Sheriff Davis, in an extended inter­ view, told of recognizing several mem­ bers of the mob which took James from hiB care. He named "Mr. Logan" of Cairo as one of these individuals, and accused the postmaster and a storekeeper of Karnak, 111., of having accompanied some of the scouting parties that searched the woods in the vicinity of the town for the sheriff's party. King Manuel In England.
