Reduction of approximately $25,000,000 in the tax appraisement on railroad property in Indiana was forecast today by officials of the state tax board, after it' had completed its principal figures on railroad appraisements. The railroad property constitutes two'thirds of that on which the original tax appraisements are made by the state board, and the total for this year is expected to be $600,000,000. The reduction for the Pennsylvania system was estimated at $14,000,000 and that of the New York Central at three to five million. Some reduction was also expected for interrurban railroad property with telephone companies' appraisement being substantially the same as last year, and higher valuations being placed on public utilities, banks and trust companies. As a whole, officials expected that all original appraisements of the state board would be five per cent less than the 1920 total of 0969,305,253. or a net reduction of $48,000,000. The total appraisement for all property in the state last year, fivesixths of which is appraised originally by local officials was $5,800,000,000'. Mulrooney, Cyclist, Goes Through City on Tour of World A payment of $23,000 is the reward that may be won by William Mulrooney, of Louisville, Ky., who passed through Richmond Thursday morning, if he travels around the world in seven years, making the trip on a bicycle, paying for his own support and for all expenses by work as he goes, and ac- j cepting no financial help nor even al lowing other travelers to assist him by "lifts". The attempt is the result of a wager made by the New York chapter of a prominent national organization, whose name Mulrooney is forbidden by the agreement to make public. Members of the club agreed to pay $20,000 if the trip were com pleted according to the regulations and individuals also wagered $3,000 additional.

He must sail from the Pacific coast before Sept. 15. 1922. In order to prove that he actually covers the territory named, Mulrooney car-! ries a book in which are entered signatures of mayors of the principal cities and at least two postmarks from postoffices in each state. One book has been filled and returned. He is dressed in khaki and prepared to "rough it." Missouri Phone Patrons May Abuse Operator, Once JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.. May 26.

Attorney General Daugherty plans to appoint a committee of" legal exports to draft recommendations to congress for legislation to relieve the congestion of liquor cases crowding the docket of federal courts throughout the country. Mr. Daugherty said today he would invite three district judges, two dis trict attorneys, and William A. Blount, of Pensacola, Fla.. to form the com- j mittee of Judge John E. Sater, of i Columbus, O., as chairman. The situa-! tion in the court he said, is very serious. "There are about 700 liquor cases in Pittsburgh, 4.000 in New York, be tween 700 and S00 in St. Ix)uis and i proportionately equal numbers in other sections." i Mr. Daugherty has talked with Rep-1 resentative Volstead and Senator! Nelson, chairmen of the house and senate judiciary committees respectively, and outlined his plan for a special committee which would meet here and study all the available data on the problem. The department already has consid ered the appointment of extra judges or special commissioners, or using judges available at present to travel through the congested districts, in an effort to clean up the court docket, but has taken no action as yet. RELLER ARGUES FOR CITY MANAGER FORM Advantages of the city manager form of government and the disadvantages of the present federal system formed the theme of an address given by Will W.

Thursday's meeting was the last in the international attendance contest for a loving cup.

Richmond public schools, is to present the names of several candidates forj the office of secretary of the local com- i munity service organization at a meeting of that body in the K. of P. building at 4:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Prof. Bentley was in Chicago Wednesday for the purpose of securing the names of enterprising community service workers who have been attending the community service training school conducted In that school during the past four weeks. He said Thursday that he had chosen the men best suited for the position, in his estimation, and would present the names to the community service committee of this city for action.
