Children's Ark Carries Russ Tots by Sea From Siberia to Petrograd; Stop Over (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5. The second lap of the long sea journey from Siberia to Petrograd was undertaken today by 782 refugee Russian children when the Japanese liner Yomei Maru, chartered by the American Red Cros3 and designated as the "Children's Ark," weighed anchor in San Francisco bay and steamed for the Panama canal. The children arrived here Monday and were the guests of the city and the Red Cross chapters for three days. They obtained their first concrete impressions of America on sightseeing trips, in the city parks and playgrounds. Gifts of toys, fruit and candy were showered upon them during their stay. The children, several of whom were said to be off-spring of nobility, became separated from their parents e&rly in the world war. They were sent into interior Russia during the several revolutionary movements. At the end of the war it was found impossible to return them overland to Petro-. grad because of the collapse of Russian transportation and unsettled conditions in that country. The Red Cross assembled them at Vladivostok for many months and chartered the Yomei Maru to carry them home by sea. The ship will stop at New York.

HORIZONTAL RAISES IN TAX REAFFIRMED
The Wayne county board of review met Thursday and without delay approved the recent action of the state board of tax commissioners in reaffirming its order made last year pro
viding horizontal tax increases for
Wayne county. This means that the same horizontal increases will again prevail the ensuing year.
A few weeks ago the supreme court ruled that the state board of tax com
missioners had exceeded its authority
last year in ordering horizontal tax in
creases for the purpose of equalizing tax rates within each county of the
state. The court held that such au
thority was only vested in the board j of review of each county. Under a legalizing act passed by the! legislature at its recent special ses-j
sion horizontal tax increases within a county when authorized by the state board must be approved by the board of review of the effected county. Had the Wayne county board refused to approve the order of the state board in reaffirming its horizontal increases within Wayne county for the ensuing year endless confusion would have resulted, including tax refunds, new assessments, etc.
