~ -rs r r the exact powers pcaaemed by
the *t <♦« board of equallza'i ha and today
A* « ajit A-'orney General Vance gave hi#
opinion on the disputed que?ilon, tbe pur
p -rt ir.g hat toe board has more power
t m it has given itself credit for.
7 f .e board d! ated the foUosring inter
r*witor:-a, whica it desired to be enligat
ened upon:
"Fh-at—ATtar clarifying any property '.a
f :* f ■'«. U the board hound by the aver
age of tie county reports in i;s work of

rn v ! fix tha value et:her above or below
such avenue?
S cond- May the board increase or de-
crease, horizontally, the va'-ue of a whola
cUm of property, and if so. within w..at
limits?
"Third—Where it is apparent to tha board
upon evidence that any cans of property
e \..**s in any county, but has been omitted
fr »m its reports, may the board insert such
and u x !.s value In the work of
; tlon?**
Ir, r -=ponse Attorney Vance rendered tha
foil"wing opinion:
R-oiytng to the three questions. I beg
! to say:
'"Firs:—Thar tti» stare board of equal'aa
4kr: <!e rmtnlng valuations In any giv.-n
< ./<* of property, U not bound by the av
enge of the county reports In its work of
« zation. but that It rr-iy fix fanl valu
ation* without regard to the average of ths
coun y report*
• I am led to thi« conclusion after a care
ful examination of the rev- nue act and a
laborious con -{deration of the tr e mr.in
ing of 'equalisation,' a.- by that
a.". There seem* to be «crm> what of a con
filet of authority as to whether a state
ltn '-tT'i of equalization may increase the to
tal valuation of propery b yond the total
aggr-gate or. the a-* s«m n roll, when
presented to th*m from the county. How
! ever. I am Inclined to believe that, under
he f ;D»'itutlon and revenue statute of this
■ .<- *.• the term 'equaliruion' is used, not
In its narrow and restricted srrse of com
piling one claw of property upon the ts»-
**m> i • roll of a county with another
cl i - but ir. the r •id. r sense, as express*
el in the cor, t* :'lon. in eflVct, to cqual
iz t;d make uniform taxation upon all
' property witbin the state.
■•S rond—The board of equalization may
j Increase horizontally. If by that term you
me. n ry percentage, the value of a whole
cl of property, and the limit wtthif
w i-h this may be do; eby the bo*rd 1s the
. co;i • . ual limit, tha- taxes shall b«
< , ■ d and uniform on all classes of prop
er*. -:i »■<[■ at i - actti ;1 cash \xi e
, at the time of the a.«es<sment.
"Third—There is no authority in the
board of es iaiizatlon to add property or
cl «H-e of property to the assessment rolls
: of count!-s. where the property or classes
of pro, t rtj do rot aDoear therein. T>.e
i custom of your honorable b-wrd lu suggest
ing to rhe proper county official, who h«a
thiv i iwer to idd omitted property to the
j assessment roil, to transmit for the consid

one."
Tii" 1 '-ard adjourns next Saturday, and
up to this tlr.it repre-s: ntai.lv-s of but thr e
railroad conu'anies have appeared, and
those did not represent Large corporations.
It app. *r» now to be a settled policy of the
railroads to ignore the board and make no
attempt whatever to Influence Its action

BCORfcS COURT-MARTIAL.

Severely Cri»iei*e* the Conrt.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 22,-The navy de
par. rr. en t has Just made public the pro
ceedings of the court-martial case of Lieut.
G. Stanworth, charged with intoxication
on duty on board the Adams at Port An
geles. Wash.
The papers are remarkable for the sever
ity of the censure passed, on both the
court and the d--f<»ndant by Acting Secre
tary Roosevelt, in his indorsement upon
the c ASM. The defendant pleaded in
bar, thaw he had previously been Suspend
ed from duty by the captain and the court
allowed the sufficiency of this plea. In his
indorsement Mr. Roosevelt says, after re
viewing the history of the case:
"The court clearly erred in this case, in
the tim instance su«tainln* the plea cf the
accused in bar of trial and again in refus
ing to correct its error wh- r» point'd out
by the department. It is difficult to under
stand the display of obstinacy or obtusitv
thus presented, inasmuch as the ct>urt
assumes to put Its own interpr ra
tion on precedent* and decisions riginally
established and rendered by the depart
ment above the Interpretation placed there
on by the d*par;mrn* itself. By *hie'ding
him*. If by a technical pl» a. Lieut. Stan
worth has practically admitted his guilt.
The cane of an officer of the navy who is
obliged to admit, by a plea of this charac
ter. that he does not deem it prudent to
submit the question of his guilt or inno
cence of a grave charge, to the judgment
of a court-martial, is most deplorable."

Congrre** Mast Increase Number of
OUlcer* and Sailors.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
necessity of increasing the personnel cf
the navy will be presented to congress
in the forthcoming reports of bureau
chiefs of the navy department. Both
offict is and men are needed to man the
large number of ships now in commis
sion.
Capt. Crowninshield. chief of the bu
reau of navigation. In order to And offi
cers for vessels, is compelled to search
the s< rvico with a fine ra*e. The term
of shore duty of the line officers, with
the exception of those in the command
grades, has been cut down in many
cases and hereafter the young office's
will have considerably less time on shore.
So far as the engineer corps is con
cern -d, it is understood that Engineer
in Chi"f Melville proposes to recommend
that 1"0 officers be added to the corps
as soon as possible. The numl»er of en
gineer officers is now so limited that on
the battleships the chi<*f engineers have
only three assistants, when they should
have at least five. Captain Chief Naval
Constructor Hlchborn also proposes to
c<ll attention to the small number of
officers in his corps, in comparison with
the construction corps of other coun
tries, and he believes it should be in
creased. The lack of enlisted men has
ben apparent for some time. The de
partment has not enough men to place
the crusier Ealtimore In commission and
the Philadelphia must return to the
l T nlt> d States before August 15, In order
that her officers and crew may be trans
ferred to the Baltimore and that vessel
placed In commission for duty In Hawaii
an waters.

o'clock. When the presidential train
reached the stafl?r. here the president'*
private car was shifted a short distanos

estate. As the car came to a stop a sa
lute of guns w« fired Iroru

residence by a detachment a# the local
militia company.
On the piazza of the mansion Mr afcd

wa» given up to informal conversation.
Lunch wa* served at noon and wax en
tirely informal.
At 1-30 the presidential train was scain
entered and the party taken to North
Adams.
Wf!fom« at North Adam*.
As the president's special nearsd the
de«pot. coming- from Adams, the crush of
people around the depot was very great.
Three rousing cheers were given as the
president stepped from the platform of
the car. and at the same lr.*tant a salute
of twenty-one guns was given by a de
tachment of artillery in position on the
extreme top of a high hill near the "Na
tion.
The presider t was greeted on the plat
form by Acting Mayor Proctor, who ex
tended the welcome of the city and spoke
words of greeting. The party immediate
ly entered carriages and were driven
through the principal streets. The presi
dent and Mrs. McKinley, together with
Mr. Plunkett, were in the latter's hand
some four-in-hand. The prudential
party was escorted by Companies I M
and T. of the Second regiment. M. V. M.
There was unbounded enthusiasm, and
the president was cheered at every point
along the route. Both he and Mrs. Mc-
Kinley responded to the cheers of the
multitude, the president bowing his un
covered head and Mrs. McKinley waving
a handkerchief.
At the \itricnltnral Fair.
It was 3:30 before the fair grounds w< v re
reached. All of the buildings were beauti
fully decorated, and a special stand had
been erected for the use of tne party.
W htn the president's carriage entered the
grounds there was a tremendous cheer,
and fully 20.<"00 people welcomed the chief
executive. The president and cabinet o%
ficors stood on the platform, bowing and
smiling.
After quiet had been restored. Hon. W.
B. Plunkett, as president of the Hoosac
Valley Agricultural Association, said a
few words in a happy wav, announcing
the great honor done the city and the fair
by the visit of the president. He then in
troduced Lieut. Murray Crane, who intro
duced the president. The applause that
went up from the crowd was deafening.
It was the heartiest reception given to a
public man in Western Massachusetts for
a decade. It seemed five minutes before
the president was able to make himself
heard, as at every word he uttered the
crowd would cheer.
The president's speech was brief and
wholly laudatory of the people of Mas-a
--c;..,-> tt.- a.ai their state. He spoke elo
quently of the part played by New Eng
land in the earlier struggles of the nation,
and of the mighty force of her people in
the country's later upbuilding and prog
ress. The New England kitchen, he said,
had been established In every part of the
country, "and wherever established, go
out from It good thoughts and deeds, cood
women and men, supporting our glorious
political fabric and advancing Justicd
among all men."

—Fewer Death* Reported.
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 22—The official
record In the hoard of health office at 6
o'clock showed a total of 12 cases sine© 6
o'clock yesterday evening, and two
deaths. The li new cases are for the most
part widely scattered. a."d several of ti em.
at least, do not seem to have been the out
come of local infection. It is apparent that
microbes brought over la baggage from
Riloxi and Ocean Springs are still intu
bating. and that many more cases of fever
are to be looked for. The system of quar
antine and sanitation in vogue here is un
questionably showing good results, arid
whatever spread there is of sickness is
confined to the houses In which yellow
fever exists, or in premises immediately
adjoining.
The cases terminating fatally today
were: Joseph Lovell, acred 27 years; Miss
Elizabeth Nusabaum. aged I*. Dr. Lov
ell's death has been expected for four days.
Ha contracted the disease while attend
ing a number of patients who were suf
fering with the Ocean Springs fever. He
overworked himself, and when stricken
his constitution had been so much shat
tered that the chances were against his re
covery. Members of the board of health
today paid a visit to the camp of deten
tion at Oakland park. They found every
thing in excellent condition, and refugees
comfortably situated.
This morning wagonettes went down to
the Italian quarter and moved out to the
camp a large number of people. At first
the Italians, many of whom are unable to
speak English, were decidedly mutinous,
and declined to enter the vehicles, but a
number of policemen soon convinced th< m
that It was to thoir Interest to go to the
camp, and they finally yielded. Strict dis
cipline will rule the camp, and there will
bo guards stationed at all avenues of ap
proach and exit. At 6 o'clock tonight the
physician in charge of the camp an
nounced that all of the refugees in camp
were well.
Mayor Flower convened the finance com
mittee today, and after a consultation
with the city's financial agents, succeeded
In securing an offer of s£>.ooo of Immediately
available money, to be placed In the hands
of the board of health, to be used In prote
cting a vigorous war upon the fever.
There are 73 cases under close Investiga
tion. and one of these is Mrs. A. T. Wim
berly, wife c»f the Republican member of
the national committee. Capt Wimberiy
has been wired of his wife's Illness.

road. Forty patients are considered 0 t of
danger, and three are dangerously UL
There were seven nerw cases reported at

Levy, age l 17, died this morning of the
fever. J W. Sweet man, prominent drug
gist of Biloxi, and his wife were stricken
w.th the fever today.

BACH THOItiHT THE OTHER DEAD.
Vftrran and His W if' Meet Again
After Many Years' Separation.
WOODL.AND, Cal.. Sept. 22.—Enoch Ar
den's pathetic story has been outdone by
the experience of Peter Rhodes, who has
just died at Guinda.
He was a veteran of two wars. During
the Mexican war, his wife received the
news, in Missouri, that he was dead. She
moved away and was married again. Aft
er the war Rhodes returned and the in
formation came to him that she had died
in Illinois. In a few years he married a
second time.
In the meantime his first wife and her
second husband, John Dennis, moved to
California. Dennis died and the widow
married Nathan Palmer. He also died In
1887.
Many years passed away and five years
ago a rumor reached Mrs. Palmer that ner
first husband was living in St. Joseph, Mo.
She wrote a letter, located him and In
duced htm to come to California. For for
ty-six years each had mourned the other
as dead. They did not resume their old re
lations in California, but lived only a mile
apart and were apparently fond of each
oilier.
