COUNCIL SLASHES FIVE CENTS FROM COUNTY TAX RATE I Meeting Will Not Adjourn Until Orphans’ Home Problem Is Disposed Os, The county council, in annual session, will not adjourn until Saturday, when the colored orphans’ home construction, calling for additional bonded debt of 5140,000, will be disposed of. Thus far the council has: Authorized the expenditure of $2,137,143 in 1923 by county officials. This is an increase of $289,017 0vem.923. Cut the tax rate 5 cents on the SIOO taxable property valuation. It w T ill be 21 cents for 1924. It is v 26 cents now. Granted $78,155 "emergency appropriation” to tide county officials and Institutions over until Jan. 1, as very few stayed within the budget allowance fixed last year. With bonded indebtedness coming due in 1924 totalling $1,120,300, councilmcn allowed a tax rate of 6 cents to provide for payment. Each cent will raise $72,000. as total taxable property in the county is $72,000,000. Besides the principal on the bonded debt, interest of $280,000 will have to be paid from the funds raised by the 6-cent rate. Councilmen said the county could pay what it could, probably about $250,000, refund the remainder and let the future worry as to how it will be paid. The council slashed practically every request for money in the 1924 budget. M. L. Jefferson, Center Township assessor, was given $20,000 tc run his office in 1924. Councilmen were informed it required $60,000 every year. Leo K. Fesler. county auditor, who took part in the sessions as clerk, insisted the County tax rate be cut, even though debts coming due will have to be met by new loans. The county rate will be 6 cents for payment of debt, 9’-_. cents ror general fund, 2 cents for Sunnyside and 3*6 cents for free gravel roads

RAIN FALLS ON . BLAZE IN TOKIO (Continued From Page 1) thrown into the water and a large percentage was believed to have been drowned. Women and children, torn from their families, ran screaming along the streets. Mothers, hysterical and searching for their children, dashed madly through the stunned, half crazed throngs. Children ran here and there, with flames about them in search of parents. Fires Follow Quake Immediately following the quake, fires sprang up in every direction. No less than fifteen big blazes were counted, breaking out simulteanously. As Saturday and Sunday passed and the fires continued, the smell of burned human .flesh permeated the air. The stench from unheeded bodies, the scenes of dead littering the streets, the cries of the wounded, the pleas of the dying, touched the senses with sights and sounds that one who walked through the streets of this city of the dead can never forget. It is now established Baron Matsuoka, former minister of justice, was killed. Dr. Sonoda, one of the country’s leading financiers, also perished. Prince Shinoadzu was crushed to death. Telephone and telegraph communication between Tokio and Osaka is now partially restored. A special relief bureau has decided to erect tents for refuges from outlying villages on the grounds of the imperial palace. All military drill grounds will also be used for refugee centers. The bureau has ordered all possible facilities placed at the disposal of foreign refugees. Foreigners Destitute Many of the foreign survivors are now endeavoring to reach Kobe.

there and more are due today. A majority of these foreign survivors ar-e destitute and many are injured. A semblance of order has now been attained, but the population is still stricken with terror and in fear of fresh outbreaks. The city, for days, has been filled with wild rumors of greater disaster. Refugees have feared to lie down to rest lest they fall asleep to be overtaken by death. Only complete exhaustion has stilled some of the wandering throngs. Crowds are now being directed toward the j imperial palace and other relief centers. For a time during Saturday it seemed the palace was doomed with other structures. Soon after the first terrible shocks, I could see black, ominous clouds of smoke in the direction of the palace. Then smoke appeared seemingly from every quarter and within a few minutes the principal parts of the city were literally wrapped in flames.

They tell of how he stood, surrounded by flames, in the doorway of a fiercely burning building, helping women, and children; through a blazing passage, until the fell dead —merciful asphyxiation free- i ing his seared body under Is smouldering olothing from further torture. The stoicism with which groups in the doomed city met their fate Wien the gaspering earth and walls of finmade escape impossible Was recounted by others who had watched the destruction. powerless to give aid. When cut off by flames, the population knelt in the debris of the and prayed seemingly heedless of nearby fires, not caring for their own fate, callous to the misery of others. Streets Run Water Small floods ran In the streets of the lower part of the city, geysers of water spurting through yawning cracks in the earth rent by the vertical heavings of the quake. It was in Yokohama that most of the Americans and foreigners who perished lost their lives. But details of the fate of these have become for the moment confused In the general disaster.

Those of the refugees arriving here who did pot leave Yokohama until Monday said by that time practically all the city’s foreign survivors had been take aboard fifteen steamers in the bay. Only about .a dofcen, including a few Americans, remained in Yokohama.. One French liner, the And-e Flebon, was crowded to her rails w th the European refugees. These included the French ambassador to Tokio, who walked to Yokohama after the quake. < Mass of Ruins A foreign refugee from Yokohama said the entire city fell at the first earth shock and that the place was an Indescribable mass of ruin. Tokio, according to the latest advices reaching here by airplane, is filled with wild rumors which spread among the hungry refugees and kept them in a constant state of terror. “What is going to happen next,’’_ they ask one another. Looking down from his plane into one street, a correspondent, saw what he believed to be the bodies of at least 3,000 victims within a mf?e. S3OO ASKED FOR DUCKING While visiting across the street from 1631 N. Tacoma Ave. on the everting of Aug. 19, Robert Hostetler, University Heights, saw Miss Anna Witt, who lived at 1631, drenching his car with a garden hose. Hostetler claims in a suit for S3OO damages filed* today in Superior Court. When he went out to remonstrate, he charges, she drenched a ne wauit and shirt he wore. The clothing and much of the car were ruined, he claims. Gas From Food Presses on Heart If food does not digest it turns into poisons which form gas. This often presses on heart and other organs causing a nervous, restless feeling. Simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adlerika, removes foul, decaying food matter you never thought was in your system which caused gas and pressure on heart. Adlerika expels poisons and gas from BOTH upper and lower bowel. EXCELLENT to guard against appendicitis. H. 0.
