And the State Rate Will Also Be Reduced, but the Rate in Richmond Will Soar About , 5 Points. REDUCTION IN COUNTY - MADE BY THE COUNCIL

It Will Amount to One-half Cent While State's Reduction Is One and One-half Cents for 1911. ' Although no announcement has been made by the city administration as to the tax rate for the citv In 1911. the rates for the state, county and Wayne township, were announced Wednesday. A reduction of two cents was made on the state and county rates while the township rate remains the same as for 1910. The Wayne county council passed an ordinance Wednesday reducing the county rate a half cent while the county auditor was informed by the state board of tax commissioners that the state rate had been lowered a cent and a half. . The Wayne townah.p rate remains at 96 cents. , In the county this will be appreciated more than In the city for here the tax-payers, while sharing equally in the benefits of the reductions, will have to pay a higher city rate, according to the plan of the administration. The city administration has announced that the rate will be raised 5 cents at least, which will make the total tax paid by Richmond tax-payers, $2.81 -on the hundred dollars assessed valuation of property, or a 3-cent increase over the rate paid this year. . Same Appropriations. At the meeting ot the county council the total amount of the appropriations made .Was $tOS.673.15, which 'Is about the same amount which, was ap propriated a year ago."; The estimated expenses of the different departments of the county is about the same as this year, although for bridges more was appropriated than the commissioners at first anticipated would be necessary. After all . appropriations had been made It was found the money could be raised by reducing the tax rate a half cent This is made possible by the in creased valuation of taxables-ln the county, as shown by the assessments In the spring by the township assessors. Big gains were made in every township. In fixing the rate for the different funds the council acted as follows: 34 3-20 cents for the county general fund, 7 cents for the county bond fund. 3 cents for the free turnpike repair fund and 1 cent for the bridge fund, making a grand total of 45 3-20 cents per hundred dollars assessed valuation of tables. Slice Made by State. Just what influence resulted In the state tax being reduced is not known, but it is understood to be due to the Increase valuation of property within the state, making It possible to realize sufficient funds for carrying on the state work at a lower tax assessment The rate for 1911 will be 31 17-20 cents. Last year It was 33 7-20 cents per $100 assessed valuation. Generally the appropriations by the county council were the same as those for last year and as recommended by the county commissioners, which estimates were announced in the Palladium. Some of the more Important appropriations were $1,071 for the assesment In 1911; $10,870 for maintaining the poor in the various townships, and approximately $20,000 for bridges. In respect to the appropriation for the malntalnence of the poor the money which Is expended by the county will be paid back into the county treasury by the township trustees. But one large bridge will be built and this to span the ford near the Beeler farm, southwest of the city. The council appropriated $10,000. which will be applied to the construction of a 250 feet span. Pills probably will be made as the ford is not only dangerous but often impassable in Its present condition. It is thought that (Continued on Page Two.) 1

Mrs. Shaw is sixty years old. generously proportioned, gray haired and motherly looking. . As soon as the name of Pinchot was mentioned she climbed on a chair with a handkerchief In each hand, waring wildly and calling on the audience to rise. In two minutes every woman In the house was frantically shouting Pinchot's name and the high pitched demands of Mrs. Shaw eventually swept the convention off its feet in a convention supposedly non-political. After the ex-forester, and millionaire had been compelled to respond in a brief speech Mrs." Shaw declared she had never before in her life said a word in public meeting. "I cant understand what happened" she said. "I am a firm believer in Pinchot and his plans, but nothing was further from my thoughts than to make a public demonstration. I was carried away by my enthusiasm." "Please dont let folks down home know I did this. added Mrs. Shaw, -or 111 never hear the last of it." Pinchot said: "Ladles and Gentlemen: There can be but a few moments In a man's life like this.

The policies for which this congress stands are sweeping the country just " as they have swept this convention. The troth must prevail and the right wilL I

French Dandy Says that the Young Frenchman Is Forgetting Politeness. COPIES - ENGLISH WRONGS 1M Hut Paris, Sept 7. Andre Fouquieres, thea leader of fashion, "the last of the dandies," and the best dressed man in Paris, laments the fact that French politeness is dying out Writing to the Matin, he says: "Politeness, once a national virtue, is nowadays, not only neglected, but despised. Our young men are stiff, awkward, indifferent or disdainful. We have copied the English and copied them wrong. We have not copied their self-sufficiency, which used to shock us. but have converted it into impertinence and rudeness. Foreigners who believed in our old reputation for courtesy are. t surprised to find themselves stared at isolently in public places. Audible remarks and spiteful jokes about strangers are concidered good form and tactlessness is called funny. We show a singular tenacity in cultivating chaddishness."

Chairman Nelson ruled no quorum present and the committee took a recess until Friday when "the resolution and amendments will be submitted in reports. - No congressional ' inquiry in recent years has attracted so much attention as the investigation Into the Balling-er-Pinchot controversy. The high officiay position of the interested parties, the enormous Interestss involved, and the sensational developments of the investigation were alone sufficient to attract national attention; but to this has been added to the fact that he whole Taft conservation policy was practically on triaL " '. Charges of Pinchot Pinchot and other champions of the conservation movement have declared that Ballinger's conduct of the Interior department : will undo all the good work accomplished under the Roosevelt administration. Balllnger and his supporters reply to the charges with the argument that "the large withdrawal of lands by Secretary Garfield were illegal, and that the present administration, while m harmony with the conservation policy will act within legal bounds. Heard the Rumblings. At first President Taft and his Cabinet did not attach much Importance to the controversy, but soon after the hearings opened, they found it necessary to engage counsel for Secretary Bellinger. Then, came a sad blow to the conservationists when Gifford Pinchot, the former chief forester failed to substantiate sensational charges against Secretary Balllnger when on the witness stand.

(American Ne-.vs Service.) , Boston, Mass., Sept. 7. Miss Minna Twombley Jones, the Boston society girl who jilted Captain Arthur Kamler of the Austrian nobility five years ago and thereby caused an international sensation, today became the bride of Alexander B. Marvin, a fqrmer well Known New Yorker who now spends most of his time in Porto Rico looking after his extensive coffee plantations there. The bride is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Jones, who were known socially in Boston, New York and Newport Through her uncle, the late Hamilton K. McTwombiy, she is related to the Vanderbilts. Since the death of her mother in Norway four years ago she has resided with her sister in Cambridge where today's wedding took place. It was six years ago while traveling in Europe with her mother, that Miss Jones, then an Impressionable girl not nnlta out rf nof tuna waa foiKlnitail quite out of her teens,' was fascinated at Carlsbad by the dashing Captain Arthur Kamler, Baron von Saarberg. The Captain proved an ardent wooer and within a few months after their first meeting the engagement of the couple was announced. Soon the wedding invitations were issued and all arrangements for the marriage completed. The young girl and her mother returned home and shortly afterward Captain Kamler arrived to claim his bride. The latter, however, found that in American surroundings she no longer loved the titled foreigner, With rare courage the girl broke the engagement almost at the altar steps.
