INVESTIGATION OF
WARD ASSESSORS
THAT'S WHAT COUNCILMAN D.
W. VAUOHAN PROMISES.
He Stieovered Yesterday That the
Thirteenth Ward Assessment for
Dwellings and Outbuildings Is
Ovor 8100,000 Less Than Last
Year County Jail, Which Is Ex
empt, Assessed for 850,000 nnd
Not Assessed Last Year He Will
Endeavor to Havo Councils Au
thorize an Investigation.
Select Cnunnllman D. W. Vnughan
lnntlr; a discovery yesterday afternoon
which ho says will Itntl to a thorough
Investigation of tho city assessment.
Mr. Vaughnn hoard cometlme ago
thai the asncssnu'iUs made this yenr
In many of the warJe were far lower
thnn those made last yeir.
Ho heard too that the county Jail
had been asseFHeil this year, and hi
took down tho assessment books for
tho Thirteenth ward for last year and
tills year for that ward. A Tribune
man was In the city clerk's orTlco at
the time ard examined the books with
Mr. Vnughan. It wart discovered that
this year s nssessnmnt for buildings
nnd outbuildings In the Thirteenth
ward Is $7GS.?30, whoreus last year'
assessment for the same class of? prop
erty In this ward wns ?S!M.4!)5, or $36,
HOri more.
A closer exaniinntion of tho books
revealed tho fact that tho county Jail
had been assessed thin year for ?.0,COO.
whereas It wits not assessed at nil last
yenr. Then It was found that the
Asbury Methodist Episcopal church,
which like the jnll cannot be assessed,
is this year nsses.seil for over $3,000,
whereas it nlso was not assessed last
year.
Tho Scranton school district 1? also
assessed $3,."00 nnd school property Is
exempt from taxation. As the result
of Councilman Vaughnn'r. cursory ex
amination It has been discovered that
the Thirteenth ward assessment on
buildings nnd outbuildings for 1900 is
Slll.r.00 le3; thnn tho similar assess
ment for 1S90.
AMOUNTS NOT PLACED.
A cursory examination wag also
lmtdu by Councilman Vnughan of the
assessment books of several other
wards. It wns noted that certain lots
on Eighth street In tho Fifteenth ward
belonging to the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western Railroad company and
assessed Inst year for the lump sum of
$.',200 are not assessed this year at
all. The lots are recorded but the val
uation Is not enrrle.1 across the page.
The law prescribes that when a tri
ennial assessment Is made It must
stand for thtee years, until the net
one is made. The ward assessors are
directed to assess all extra additions
to buildings, etc., but they are not per
mitted by tho law to make any reduc
tions. Councilman Vnughan is going to
carefully end exhaustively eompnie
this year's Thliteenth ward book with
last year's and find out just exactly
what the reductions or omissions nre.
He is then going to look over Building
Inspector Jackson's records from the
time the 1S99 assessment was made
until Uiu time the 1900 assessment was
begun, for the puipose of ascertaining
just how many new buildings have
been elected In that time.
"When he has done this, nnd has bis
fncts and llguies till complete for this
one v.-nid, he is going to introduce a
roMilution In councils, providing for tin;
appointment of a .special investigating
committee to thoroughly examine nnd
comnare the books of each ward for
the years IS')!) nnd 1900.
SHOULD BE AN INCREASE.
Mr. Vnughan said yesterday: "Why,
ins.tead of a decrease of over $100,000
there should be nn increase of half
that much at least, when you take
into consideration the number of new
houses that havo gone up Intelv in
that ward. How do we know tho thing
hasn't been done In other wards, too".'
"This Is n thing that should be thor
oughly Investigated, and I'm going to
do all I can to havo an Investigation
started. We've got little enough money
as it is to pay the city's "tirrent ex
penses, without having our revenues
i educed."
City Assessor Owilym Jones wns seen
last night by a Tribune man nnd asked
If lie had any statement to mnkc re
garding tho proposed Investigation. Ho
said:
"If Councilman Vnughnn has discov
ered anything wrong in the assessment
this yenr I'm glnd of it, and I, for one,
hope that the thing will be thoroughly
and completely Investigated. If there
Is any reduction In the nssesment it's
not the fault of the three .assessors.
Wo trv to do our full duty, but wo'ro
not allowed.
"The uEHcssment is made by the ward
assessors, and wo s-upervise the mak
ing of it nnd nre expected to examine
cnrefully nil tho hooks and compare
them with those of tho previous yenr,
but wo don't havo Iho time, nor any
thing like it. We nre given tho ns
sessinent books by the board of revis
ion nnd appeal about October L'0, und
tho assessment lias to ho made by
January l.
IS OnNEUALLT DONE.
"It's hard work to have It completed
In that time, but It's generally done.
As soon as the ward assessors finish
tho bonks nro turned over' to us by
them, nnd we usually havo just about
started tho work of examining them
when they are taken from us by tho
board of revision und appeal,
"Wo should havo two or thrco
months to go over them, but wo get
about two weeks generally. It's en
tirely wrong, nnd If mistakes aro be
ing found I sny I'm glnd of l, both as
a citizen and as city assessor.
"Wo are absolutely under tho con
trol of the board of revision and ap
peal. Wo actually work nbout two or
three weeks, and that's all,
"Nowhere near all of tho books wero
oxnmlned this year, simply 'as I snld
before beeauso wo didn't have tho time,
Tho whole system Is bad, nnd the
sooner we becomo a city of tho second
class tho better."

Miss Cecile Payen, Who Was One of
tho Prisoners in Pekin, Relates
Hor Experiences Traveling
in Tien-Tsln by River.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Presa.
Chicago, Oct. 11. Miss Cecile Payen,
who was one of the six American wo
men among the foreigners Imprisoned
by the Boxers In the legations at
Pekin, returned to Chicago yesterday
morning. She brought with her n
number of cleverly executed sketches
In water colors and pencil, which she
made during the terrible days of tho
siege.
"It was a terrible time," said Miss
Payen, "but I really think that I was
more utterly miserable after wc had
been rescued nnd wera on our way
from Pekin to Tlsn Tsln. Twelve
wagon loads of people left Pekin un
der a heavy escort at B o'clock on the
morning of the 21st, and reached
Tungcho, where wo were to start down
the river In boats, about 3 that after
noon. But when wo got there we
found that the Japanese had, on their
w'ay toward Pekin, taken all of the
best boats, and there was nothing
left but a lot of open freight boats,
such as are used for carrying rice to
market. These were slightly Improved
by roofing them over with matting,
using the mast, which was taken down
for the purpose, as a ridge-pole.
"Under this roofing we- lived, slept
and ate for five days, that were the
most distressing ones of my whole ex
perience. The very first night rain
poured In torrents, nnd every one of
us got soaking wot. We had no means
of changing, so there was nothing to
do but let our clothing dry on us.
"Added to this discomfort was tho
constant apprehension that we might
be fired upon by the natives along tho
banks, which were thickly fringed
with vegetation and which would have
afforded excellent cover. But I sup
pose the relief party had taught the
natives along the river a pretty severe
lesson, for we were not molested.
"We had nothing to eat but hard
tack, bacon nnd a very smnll quan
tity of canned beans. But when wo
racheil Tien Tsln It wns very differ
ent. The British there made us more
comfortable, and treated us with a
degree of kindness I shnil never for
get. "During the siege In Pekin the hard
est thing to bear was our inability to
communicate with our friends nnd
relatives at home. It was dreadful to
think of their suspense, and I think
that this one thing caused me more
suffering thnn anything else. To keep
up courage we made an effort to con
tinue tho little social gatherings that
made the evenings pass so pleasantly,
and we were really quite successful.
Frequently we would gather in tho
tennis court, which was in tho very
center of the British legation, nnd
sing. After n while the Chinese lo
cated the music, and then, whenever
they heard us singing, they would be
gin tiring into the court. Then you
should have seen us hugging the wolN
ns wo skurrled to less exposed quar
ters. "And do you know how we would
silence the lire? It was remarkable,
but every time the Chinese heard thu
ringing of n big bell that was used to
call the men to arms they would stop
firing almost Instantly; I cannot speak
too warmly of the conduct of the men.
Every one of them wns splendidly
brave.
"And how Bind we wero to hear tho
firing of the relief pnity. They had a
Colt gun, which, I was told, could
be heard at a distance of ton miles,
and wo heard it early in the morning
of the 14th, long before they entered
the city. The scene of their entrance
was simply Indescribable. I guess wo
behaved like crazy neoplc.
"Wo remained in Pokln eight days
after the allies entered the city. As
wo left the city the allies were storm
ing the third gate. There are, you
know, three gates to bo passed before
one enters the forbidden city, where
tho palace Is."

fire and applauded the boys vocifer
ously, As the Hue turned Into Division
street, the mumbeis of tho Columbia
Chemical company began ringing tho
bolls In tho hose house, nnd the noise
was deafening, and added to this was
the triumphant shouts of tho men In
line.
From Division street to Eynon street,
on Slain avenue, tho paraders were
nppluuded and gieeted with much en
thusiasm, and ns thu Gleo club passed
tho residence of T. J, Ruvnnlds they
stopped and serenaded their leader,
Tho ittttirn march up Main avenue was
made through blazing red flie und tho
din nnd noise of tin horns.
Tho marchers paraded up and down
Main avenue while tho crowd .was
surging Into the hall, and tho street
between Fairchild's hotel nnd Jackson
street was Impassable, sovotal patrol
men having all they could do to keep
the crowd back from the stteet enrs,
It was nearly 0 o'clock when Chair
man Olver called tho mass meotlng to
order, and spoke, In part, ns follows:
OLVER'S REMARKS.

til cat show that the West Side cannot be umkr.

It also shows that we are as much opposed to
Democracy under Bryan as wo wcie under Oleic.

nothing was so Important as tho coinage of silver
at a ratio of 10 to . Now he lias illscomid
tin question of Imperialism. lie U clearly a
false prophet and why he should be selected to
lead the people we who are to be led cau hardly
understand.!
The question o! lmperl.illiin was settled by
Dewey In Manila bay and then and there was
A -f
kindled a torch ef liberty for the Flllplnes. Thu
battle Is not only on In (lie nation, but nbo In
l'cin)ltnnln, and we are lined up under the
Rlorloiu banner of tlnlmln A, Ormv, ami Ills
parly at d our parly Is fUllngty irprcsi utril by
MeKlrley and Unoscult, "tlrnw nnd Council.
In i.nckawiimiu county wo have a represeiil.itUe
group of gentlemen who tinvo been nomlnaled by
the people, nnd I hue no doubt they wilt nerve
ou well If elected. It Is not my pmpose In
make any extended prrcli, ami I trust )oit may
base tin' prltilcge uf hearing me later In ll'.e
rampalgn.
At this point the Olee club wns In
troduced nnd sang "Comrades In
Arms." The party was composed of
sixty well-trained voices nnd they cre
ated a furore by their singing. The
applause was of such a nature thnl
tho singers were compelled to respond
to nn encoro nnd sang a parody, un
titled "Good-Bye, Billy Bryan, Good
Bye," which made a hit with the
crowd.
Congressman Brumm was then In
troduced nnd Immediately began his
nddrcss. During tho course of his re
marks, he said:
BRUMM'S SPEECH.
Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Uentlcmeiii The
greatest piobkni of life l.s government, Through
nil the viclstltudcs of the past tin; struggle of
humanity has been to establish a government
that will produce the greatest good to the gicul
est r.unt'ir. It was not until our forefathers
started that gotenimclit that the people wen
prIWIcgcd to injoy the liberties they do toiU.
Uur government is based on the thought that
we can all exercise what ccr prlvilcgo wo
please within the bounds ot tho law that the
majcilty must rule. From childhood 1 hate
been tiiuaht to ropcel the will of tho ma
jority, nnd It bcccnii's ever) man to adhere to
thu mijorlly. It Is much better for the ma
jority to lyiatiUc oer the minority than for
tho minority to t)rnnle oier the majority, anil
when the majority expresses itself the others
should tall in Hue.
I take this lcw of goicrnment and refer to
It here because I iindcistand that there Is fac
tlonillsm oistlng in this district. Next after
the picsldcnt Is )our eotuicssmnn, and I trust
that the gentleman who Is dissatisfied with the
will of the people will ha'e patriotism enough
to desist In Ills eHuts to defeat your nominee,
and to sacrifice his personal feelings to the will
of the people. If he hxs not 1 trust the He
publicans of this district will upset for all time
such purposes as tlify have in mind.
The great dlflercnce between the Hepubllcnn
and Democratic parlies Is this: For forty years
the history ot the Mepublloan party has been the
history of tho country, and under the guidance
nnd ndnilnlstnition of the Democratic patty, but
one law was made nnd that was a disgrace the
Oorman (arid bill. The Republican party Is a
party of progress and advancement and the
Democratic party is a party of destruction.
While we nre marching onward, the Demo
crats nre crying out that we are leading on to
lmpcrlilism, but the trouble with them is that
they have never learned the dogma that a
government of the people, for the people nnd by
the pi'opk' is the only gocrnment tli.it is success
full, and when you hac that there Is ro fear,
and wo need not worry about imperialism.
Democracy with its free trade doctrine would
capture the markets of the world by methods
like those of the bmnpernickel eaters of Austria
and the rat eaters of Chira. The Democrats tried
to win success with the Wilson bill, but there
was the great McKlnley bill before It, and later
the Dingley bill and with these we iiaie cap
tured thu markets of the world. American steel
now girds the globe. In the barren wastc3 ot
Siberia and the fertile fields of India American
railroads have laid their lines, and during the
day gbe evidence of the evolution ot American
progress and liberty by their clouds of smoke
and by their pillars of flame at night. At cicry
point wc nro heating back the Democrats !iy
high wages nnd good living.
I ndev Cleveland the United States was the
debtor nation of the world. Today fierminy,
Rvcden nnd John Bull himself have received
funds from our national exchequer.
THE IMPERIALISTIC BOGIE.
And now regarding impel ialism. Free trade
and sihtr weic both taken up by llrjan and
proved failures. And now he has taken impe
rialism. And the gist and marrow of Ills ar
guments, is a cry for the consent of tho gov

The Democrats are now censuring McKlnley for
the wirs bcean during his administration. And
jet It was the Democrats who at first so loudly
clamored for war. McKlnley knew what he was
doing when nt f.rst he did not heed the Idle
howls for immediate conflict.
Hut whin the M.iil'C was blown up flic.il he
scut a rcumit. ideation to comrress asking them to
pais the n solution which would enable him to
let lonte the dogs of war. nd then it was that
the Demon. its bes..n to fight such an action

And now to speak about imperialism and the
trusts. They say (hat protection Is the mother
of trusts. And yet Mr, Haumoyor, who regu
larly votei Iho Democratic ticket Is (lie head
of the gnalofct trust in the country, the sugar
trust. All this talk about the Republican P'irty
being the sponsor of the trusts is nil mere bosh.
In pncllnilly all the cases where cnnticss has

members who vot'd ngilnt and the Democrats
who lotcd for the trusts.
