These cases involve over 90 per cnt. of the anthracite coal tax assessed and the decision will govern in the tax to be assessed for 1914". An appeal to the j Supreme Court will follow the Dau phin decision and it may get into the United States courts because of the interstate shipments. Lawyers for the companies contended that the coal could not be assessed when out of the State. Basis of Valuations. —Ranking Com missioner William 11. Smith to-day declined to make any statement re garding the valuation of securities held by State banks and trust com panies, but it was learned at the Capi tol that the examiners were taking the latest quotations on sales and using them as a basis for valuations in their reports for the private, information of the department. After the stock ex changes closed on July 30 the most reliable information on sales up to that time was taken, but since the ex changes have reopened it is under stood that quotations have been taken and employed in making the estimates for the use of the department.

EXPECT DEADLOCK OF DIRECTORS TO END [Continued From First Page] o'clock the situation will stand as fol lows on the choice for the presidency for the ensuing year: For Mr. Boyer—Directors 8011, Fohl, Kennedy and Saul. For Mr. Houtz —Directors Boyer. Werner and Yates. For Dr. Yates—Directors Bretz and Houtz. Boyer Followed Old Custom Dr. Yates was not nominated as a regular candidate. Messrs. Bretz and Houtz having cast their votes for him. President Boyer has consistently voted for Mr. Houtz, in accordance with the usual parliamentary reciprocity cus tom whereby candidates usually ex change votes with each other. Several reports in connection witl. the possible outcome of the meeting were current in school and city circles to-day. One was to the effect that some taxpayers contemplated manda musing the directors into court to show why they should not be ousted and a new board appointed in order that at. election of a president and other oill cers necessary to completed the school board organization might be named. One director said he heard such a rumor, but didn't place much faith tn it. He did say, however, that he be lieved the school code provided for 110 such contingency as the present dead lock and that the law made mandatory the election of a president on the first Monday of December. In the Figlit to Stay Another rumor was to the effect that President Royer had been asked to withdraw his name. This he ad mitted to be true. "But you certainly can say that T have no intention of doing anything of the kind." said he. "I'm in the light to stay—and," he concluded smilingly. "I don't intend to vote for myself either." Five votes will he necessary to reach a choice. As Dr. Yates really isn't a regular candidate, it is believed thai the problem will be settled by either Mr. Hretz voting for Mr. Boyer or by Mr. Houtz returning his own fellow candidate's complimentary vote—or by Messrs. Breiz and Houtz both turning in for Mr. Houtz. The kindlv feeling which the teach ers of the city have for Mr. Royer was never more heartily or significantly ex- Dressed than last evening when he en tered Technical high school audi torium to attend the lecture to more than 300 school Instructors delivered bv Dr. J. Leonard Lew, rabbi of the Pittsburgh Temple. The teachers, as soon as tliev caught sicht of Mr. Rover, gave him a round of hearty applause.

GRAND UNION TEA CO. 208 NORTH SECOND STREET fflmur RESENT REMARKS [ Continued From First Page] the Ctate or organizations that are ad mittedly ancient, la undermining tho confidence of many of the people in the militia. Now that's pretty strong, but 1 mean it. It is humiliating to the men who are Interested in the service and who are performing a patriotic duty in undergoing training; devoting time and attention to the advancement of the organized militia. Further, such statements are interfering with enlist ments. When you take into considera tion that one man in every hundred in the 8,000,000 men in this country Is doing his duty In regard to military service it is rather disconcerting to hear such things said." It is a well-known fact that some organizations in the Guard are al ways maintained at a maximum of men, that some are always above tho minimum and that very few drop below because of expiration of enlist ments, which makes the drop only temporary. Mo reference is made by Washington people to the fact that j there are organizations of the regular army that are often times below the I minimum in strength and whose otti i ccrs are absent on other duty. "What is apparently a crime in the organized militia is evidently a virtue in the reg ular army" in the language of a man talking about it hero to-day.
