Levy for Current Tear 6.6 Mills, but
Mayor Believes Reduction Will
Not Affect, Efficiency
of Administration.
CITY TAX LETT WTLL BE JIVE
MILLS.
Mayor Simon announced yesterday
morning that the city tax levy, as
decided upon by him for 1010. will be
5 mills. This year it was 8 6 mllle.
It will therefor b seen that a great
savins- will be had for the taxpayers.
This will aggregate in the neighbor
hood of $350,000, although the details
are as yet unprepared. The Mayor has
carefully scanned the various depart
ment estimates and made hta state
ment after a long consultation with
Chief Deputy City Auditor Grutxe.
an expert on municipal affairs, who
agrees with the Mayor that the levy
can be kept to 5 mills or not to ex
ceed a shade more, and still maintain
efficiency In every branch of the city
government.
Five mills will be the city tax levy for
1910, according to the .statement made
by Mayor .Simon yesterday morning.
That is the figure aimed at by him, and,
while this Is a big cut, nevertheless. It
is believed that It will be made, and
without Impairing In any manner the
public service. It will save to the tax
payers direct probably about 350,000.
"After carefully inspecting the var
ious department estimates for next
year, together with Deputy City Audi
tor Grutse, I have come to the conclu
sion that the tax for municipal pur
poses will be five mills." said Mayor
Simon. "That Is the figure to be aimed
at, and It looks as though It can be cut
to that amount It will not be more
than that unless something develops
whereby we have to add a trifle."
"I see no reason why five mills Is not
enough, unless you should want to pro
vide for a sinking fund," said Deputy
Auditor Grutze. in reply to a question
by Mayor Simon. "However, that would
not be adding to the city's expendi
tures, but would simply be providing
for the payments of debts."
Reduction From Last Year.
The tax levy for city purposes for
1909 was 6.6 mills, and therefore If the
levy for 1910 is 5 mills. It will be a sav
ing to the taxpayers of 1.6 mills on an
assessed valuation of $236,000,000. It
will be even greater saving to tne
property owners, as the assessed valu
ation will be about $250,000,000 this
year, according to the forecast made
by County Assessor Slgler.
Economy has been the watchword of
Mayor Simon's regime, and It will con
tinue to be until the end, as It is his
determination to eliminate all unneces-

DETROIT, Oct. 11. Pittsburg defeated
Detroit, 8 to 6, here today, in one of the
most spectacular and fiercely-contested
games ever played in a world's champion
ship series. This gives Pittsburg the mar
gin of two games to one and the Na
tional League champions are correspond
ingly jubilant. Detroit, however, showed
in the final innings of the battle that
It Is far from hopelessly beaten.
Weather conditions were frightful. Rain
fell frequently during the nine innings,
several times in hard showers of several
minutes' duration. The sky was threaten
ing all day.and It was eo dark during the
last two Innings that it was hard . for
both players and spectators to follow the
ball. A sharp northwest wind added to
the discomfort of the players and spec
tators. Attendance Breaks jRecord.
Despite wretched weather, the attend
ance, 18,277, broke all local recprds for
the world's series.
Pittsburg jumped into the lead Im
mediately by scoring five rune in the
first inning. They batted Summers out
of the box, aided by some poor fielding.
Another run In the second -gave Pitts
burg a lead of 6 to 0 and the game then
appeared to be safe for the visitors.
Detroit, however, came to the fore with
one of the gamest rallies ever made and
scored four runs in the seventh, inning,
batting Maddox hard and playing like
fiends.
With the score 6 to 4, Pittsburg connect,
ed with some of Work's curves in the
ninth for two runs.
, With the score 8 to 4 against it, the
Detroit team smashed out two more runs
in the last inning. Had Sam Crawford
been able to hit up to his usual mark,
this afternoon, there would have been a
different story to tell.
Detroit Best at Bat.
v Detroit outbatted Pittsburg by a mar
gin of one hit; getting 12 to the visitors'
11. Summers started for the locals, but
was removed before the end of the first
inning. Wlllett succeeded him, and did
well, uoitil he was taken out to allow
Mclntyre to bat for him in the seventh.
Mclntyre struck out. Works, who then
went in, was lucky In the eighth, after
Abstein had made a two-base hit with
but one out. The next two were easy
outs.
In the ninth Pittsburg landed on him for
three hits and that cinched the game.
Had Jennings sent In a more experienced
pitcher in such a situation, he might have
secured at least a tie.
Maddox was on the rubber for Pittsburg

Knox Intended to Secure TTnlted Pro

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. Tomorrow
probably will see the determination of
the question whether Charles R. Crane
will be 'requested to resign his recently
acquired office of Minister to China or
will be permitted to resume In that ca
pacity the Journey to Pekin.
He was almost inthe act of sailing from
San Francisco when summoned by Sec
retary Knox to return to Washington
and explain his alleged responsibility for
the disclosure in a newspaper dispatch
of confidential Information about the at
titude of the United States toward tho
new treaties between China and Japan.
All Referred to Taft.
Silence surrounded the situation today.
Secretary Knox was Inaccessible and
other State Department officials dis
claimed any knowledge of the state of
affairs and Mr. Crane would not talk.
Notwithstanding the general expectation
that he would have a decisive conference
at noon with tho Secretary, Mr. Crane
did not call at the department nor, so
far as oan be learned, did he have any
conference with Mr. Knox at his homo.
It came to be believed that the whole
matter had been referred to President
Taft. It was supposed that the papers
had been sent to the President ' last
night, after the conference which followed
upon Mr. Crane's arrival here from San
Francisco. All Indications tonight point
in this direction and no developments aro
expected pending advices from the
President.
Is Crane's Usefulness Gone?
The conference last night. In which
participated Mr. Knox, Mr. Crane and
William M. Hoyt, special counsel of tho
department, is believed to have resulted
in a clear understanding with respect to
