Assessors Hopelessly Befuddled in Attempt to Meet Demands of Adminis

Considerable Share of Increase in Taxable Values.

"Keep the tax rate underli'-mills!" This is the order the administration has issuedl
The board of assessors, 'and expert accountants workifig on the tax lists, have been struggling
with the problem of making both ends meet. ' 7
The administration demands a princely revenue, to be spent in-salaries for its favorites)

But the "semblance of economy must be kej)t up. To that end, the administration, in
stead of levying a 24 mill tax upon a list of $120,000,000, propose to levy a smaller rate up
on a list that will be more than 20 per cent, larger than the last valuation. .

Claiming that his 14-year-old bride
deceived him in regard to - the con

of Fairfield visited the superior court
this morning to protest against the di
vorce which was granted to Olga Der
ing last Friday by: Judge Gager.

him he asked JSIfs. Dering to translate
it because he is unable to read Eng

Dering alleges, that the pajKer simply
meant she wanted her name changed.
He declares he knew nothing about
the divorce until he read in the papers
that the decree had been granted.
His lawyer secured the names of the
witnesses today and a motion may be
made to have the case reopened. Mrs.

Preparing Speeches on Matter.
Washington, Jan. 4 Official announcement that the gov-
ciuuiciiu win ttui iii nits newest, pnase oi ine submarine crisis
brought on by the sinking'of the Persia was made today at the
White House. . '
' Secretary Tumulty issued this statement for the President :
"The President and the Secretary of State are taking every
means pbssiblp to obtain the cold facts in this grave matter and
will act just as soon as the information is obtained."
-v In the absence of detailed and specific information on which
to base the next step, President Wilson cancelled the cabinet
meeting which was to have been
Chairman Stone and some members of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee. ' , j
; Later Chairman Flood of the Houe foreign' affairs commit-j
tee called at the White House and conferred with President Wil-
son on the situation. -? ' i
Chairman Stone told the President there were intimations
that some Senators were preparing to make speeches on the'
sinking of ships with loss of American life. The President is j
understood to have simply replied that the administration was f
doing all-it could to protect American rights. , - I
, The President instructed Secretary Lansing to bring to the
White House any information which came to hand and then'
busied himself reading the official despatches so far received
and getting in touch generally with the situation.
tThe administration is depending largely on the inquiries
which. Ambassador Pkifield has been instructed to mK,-..t
Vienna and that-which consuls are gathering elsewhere, to j
establish the nationality of the submarine which is said to have i
sunk the 'Persia and to develop the facts in the case. 1
Senator Stone told the President that when the foreign re- j
lations committee met tomorrdfw he wanted to be prepared to j
meet any, situation that might arise. The Senator said after his J
talk-with the President that until the'facts regarding the Persia
were obtained nothing could be done. L
' v ' Any nation; he declared, Which outraged the United States,
should be dealt with (severely. .'
Wnite House officials said both the
Senate aiid the House would be kept
informed of all important' develop
ments In the-, f oreign; situation, proba
biy' through conf erences between the
President and Senate and House
leaders. , ' -
There1' was ho indication today of
What the prospects' were for the
United States formally - acquainting
Bulgaria and, Turkey - of its position
on the question of submarine warfare.
President Wilson arrived here at
7:50 a. m. today from Hot Springs,
Va. He went immediately to the
White House to take personal charge
of the situation brought about: by the"
sinking of the British steamer Persia.
- A small crowd had collected at the
railroad station td -see?the President,
but he walked quickly by Without
noticing greetings. The White House
staff was already at work and the
President was quickly acquainted with
the details of the crisis which devel
oped while he was away o.n his honey
moon. -A note from Secretary Lansing
was awaiting-him.
,. Alexandria, Egypt, Jan. 4 Charles
Grant, of Boston, one of the .two
Americans known to have been on
board the British steamship Persia
when she was torpedoed in the Med
iterranean last Thursday, has arrived
in Alexandria. Mr. Grant," so far as
is known,-is the only American from
whom can come the story of the Per
sia's sinking. He gove to The As
sociated Press today the most detailed
account yet received of the disaster.
"I 'was in the dining saloon of the
Persia at 1:05 p. m.," he said. "I
had just finished my soup and , the
steward was asking ' what I would
take for my second course when a
terrific explosion occurred.'
"The saloon became filled with
smoke, broken glass and steam from
the boiler, which appeared to . have
burst. There was no panic on board.
We went on deck as though we were
at drill and reported at the lifeboats
on the starboard side, as the vessel
had listed to port. I " clung to the
railing. The last thing done was to
tie on Captain Sprickley's lifebelt.
, "As the vessel was then listing so
badly that it was impossible , to
launch -the starboard boats I did
down the starboard rail into the wa
ter. I got caught in a rope which
pulled off a shoe but I broke loose
and climbed on some floating wreck
age, to which I clung.
,. "The last I saw of the Persia she
had her bow in the air, five minutes
after the explosion. '

ANOTHER SHIP SUNK
London Jan. 4. Although it is re- (
ported -that no lives were lost when the i
Peninsular & Oriental line steamer j
Geelong Was sunk uar-the Mediter-j
ranean, no details are available on- j
cerning her sinking.- The Geelong was j
a sister ship of the steamer Waratah, j
which was lost under mysterious cir-s
cumstances off the African coast in
July, 1909.
"After floating about on the wreck-i
age until 4 o clock in the morning I
saw five boats. I was pulled intOj
one of them. We rowed about look
ing for other stragglers."
"The boats became overloaded' andi
the occupants were redistributed. '
Four boats were tied together by
their painters and the fifth followed 1
some distance away. f !
"My boat left the others in order j
to search the more frequented steam-
ship channels for help. We rowed i
for three hours. Then we saw a I
cruiser and called out:
" 'We are English."
"We explained that we were sur
vivors of the Persia and gave direc- i
tions to the cruisers as to where the i
other boats were. They were soon ,
found and the occupants were taken '
off by the English sailors.
"Robert McNeely, American consul
at Aden, sat at the- same table with,
me on" the voyage. He was not seen,
probably because his cabin was on tha
port side. It was a horrible scene.
The water was black as ink. Some
passengers . were screaming, others
were calling out good-bye. Those in,
one boat sang hymns."
