"Demobilized" Eiffel
Tower Stormed by
Yanks for View of Paris
Farii, Sept. 17. The Eiffel tower
has. been "demobilized" and has
again became one of the most popu
lar places of amusement in Paris.
During the opening of its return to
the public the giant tower was
stormed by American officers and
doughboys anxious to make the
giddy elevator climb to the top,
from which a rnagnificant panora
mic view of Paris and its suburbs
for miles around can be obtained.
When the War Department took
over the Eiffel tower at the begin
ning of August, J914, witty French
men gave it the name of the "tall
est constrript in France." Since
then it has been used without inter
mission as the military wireless
station of France, and although
frequently attacked by Fokkers ar.d
Gothas by day and night, it was
never once hit. i
Has Short Career as an
"Astor;" Gets 3 Years
Springfield, Mo., Sept. 17! Three
years in the Missouri penitentiary
was the sentence imposed upon C
J. Jones, who came to this city and,
after representing himself ai a
member of the Astor family, passed
bogus checks. Jones signed the
checks "J. A. Astor." He claimed
to be a nephew of the late John
Jacob Astor.
His "career" as a member of the
Astor family came to an untimely
end when he attempted to open an
account in a local bank with a
check for $100 that was found to be
no good.
Drowns In Bathtuo
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 17. Miss
Lee Wagner, a maid at the Plant
er's hotel, drowned in a bathtub at
the hotel. She was subject to faint
ing spells and, is believed, was over
come while taking a bath.
Predicts Highest Tax
1 Rate in Boston's History
Boston, Sept. 17. A jump in Bos
ton's tax rate, making it the high
est in the history jf the city, is fore
casted by Chairman Edward' T.
Kelly, of the b.ard of assessors. It
is expected the rate will be $24, an
increase of $2.50. Nearly $2 of this
raise is due to the city's assessment
of $2,905,930.97 as its share in mak
ing up the deficit of the Boston
Elevated Railway company.
