WE WILL TELL YOU KOSE WHEN YOU CALL THE BEB HIVE HE PASSED MAN CHECKS. Slick oung Man Hounded Up By Chi cago Police. CHICAGO, Oct 24.-C. H. Stra thara of Jackson, Mich., who the po lice assert has made a practice of fleecing hotels in various cities-, was i arraigned before Judge Gemmell, charged with passing a fradulent draff at the Auditorium Annex. He pleaded guilty and was fined $50!. The ; draft was for $200 on, the Fourth National Bank of Atlanta, Ca.,' and signed by the O. H. Strat ham estate. The arrest of Stratham, who is 24 years old, removed one of, the most dangerous check "kiters" from the hotel field, according to Chief Detect tive Frank Repetto'of the Congress Hotel. 'J . , He said: 1 ' "We have found that he has se cured large sums from the Coates House, Kansas City; the Washington Hotel, Kansas City; Piedmont, At lanta; the Great Northern and Au ditorium Annex Hotels, Chicago and the Knickerbocker, New York. .

Horner of Warrenton and other citizens of that place, yestcr day filed a communication with the board of equalization, protesting aeainst the assessment on certain property in the vicinity of Warren ton. But this protest is an uiuisua one, for it avers that the property in question is not assessed high enough Presumably it is not owned by the gentlemen who make the protest. Mr. Horner presents an affidavit and other Affidavits of the same na ture are also filed in the communica tion, to the effect that the property in question namely, The Plaza Warrenton Park, North Plaza, and Unton Square should be valued at 10 per cent of the stated selling price of the lots; that is, that the value Mr. Cornelius, the assessor, should have recorded against the -property should be 10 per cent of the prices asked for the lots in the market Some of the lots are listed at $100 each, other less, and others more. It is further stated that the as sessed valuation recorded by the county assessor is only about 2 per cent of the market selling prices, though this does not appear of record. The situation is rather an odd one. Walter , C Smith platted most of these properties and owns much of them still, and those who wish the assessment raised perhaps do so from several motives, one possible motive being that it may be better for the real etate market there if property is assessed at somewhere near'what it is listed at in the real estate market. "V ' But th board of equalization was not impressed by the protest and it was denied. 5 Mf. Cornelius said that he did not estimate the value of the properties by ,what they are bringing in the) jmarket rtoday-rthat he does not make estimates on boom prices, on fictitious values of any kind, nor does he' attempt to follow the rise and fall of values as the realty mar ket happens to rise or fall but that he makes- hUssessments on what he under all the circumtances judges the property to be worth. Mr. Cor nelius' plan of making values seems to , give satisfaction upon the whole, and in all the complaints or criticisms made to theboard this week, it did not chartee'f'the"- assessment in a single, ca5ewThe only changes, made during the week by the board were when mistakes were found, and some mistakes are bound to creep in. ; . The board of equalization will probabTyradjourn " tomorrow, It is waiting tp hear from the assessor of Columbia .county, on the A. & C. rolling stock assessment, i This mat ter has 'not yet been straightened OUt. ' , The stbry ift the Astorian ; yester day about the protest against, the in crease of , assessments on unimprov ed lots in the city limits, from $1 to $2. each, has a little sequal worthy of being recorded. Yesterday it was figured out that on the previous as sessment of $1 each on these lots, most of them paid an actual tax of but 3 cents per lot. In the case of non-residents it usually ; costs more than 3 cents to 'collect the tax. If a r.on-resident owned such a lot, it costs the -labor, paper, envelope and a 2-cent stamp to notify him of the tax. Then he sent in the 3 cents, at an extra cost of a 2-cent stamp' to himself. Then the tax office must return his receipt to him, at another cost of cent. In the end the county has made niching and is' out its sta tionary anI the labor and time of its officials., And this . has been going on for years.
