Word was re- reived here today that Heal M. Darby has bren killed in notion and that Private Joseph Clarke is probably a German prisoner. Private Clarke its! said to be missing and is not among the list of wounded. These young men formerly were empolyed in the factories of Endicott, Johnson Co. and are well known in the shoe villages.

Darby is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Darby of North Bend, Pa, and Clarke is the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke, of 24 Madison avenue, Endicott. Young Darby was one of three brothers who enlisted in May, 1917.

The othe; brothers were Curl and Cleon, all formerly employed in the shoe factories. Cleon was accepted by the Navy and is now a first-class seaman on the U. S. S. Shamrock, somewhere in European waters.

Carl was rejected owing to his weight, but was taken in the draft later. Beal was only seventeen years old when he enlisted. A telegram was received this week from the War Department that Heal had been killed at the front on July 15. No particulars were given, but it is believed that he was located not far from the active engagements that took the Americans over the Marne. He was a member of the 109th Infantry.

He enlisted in Binghamton. Memorial services are planned for him on Aug. 25, at the Church of Christ, with which he was affiliated. A gold star will be placed in the church service flag. Another gold star will bo added in his honor to the service board of Endicott, Johnson Co.

Every effort is being made by the mother of Joseph Clarke to determine whether he was killed in action or is actually in the hands of the Germans. The War Department will give Mrs. Clarke all the aid possible. BOILERMAKERS ARE WANTED FOR NAYY A letter has been received by the Navy Recruiting Station in this city from the United States Navy Department in which the need for boiler-makers in the Navy is set forth.

ELDER COON FORETELLS THE JUDGMENT OF GOD The Chautauqua tent on Ogden street was well filled last evening when Evangelist A. W.

Coon spoke on "Court Week in Heaven." Mr. Coon said in part: "Jesus is the attorney pleading in the court of Heaven. Every soul must submit to the decision of this Tribunal. Only those for whom the Advocate can plead his own blood will be released from the terrible fate awarded sinners unrepentant. God appointed the time of judgment.

God made known its beginning in 1844 as a part of the great advent movement which circled the globe at that time. And today the is being delivered in every nation under the sun." Evangelist L. H. Kinney will preach tonight on "God's Standard In the Judgment." A small hoy's idea of pleasure is to lie in bed for an hour after his father has called him. SEE Members of 307th S.

ROVER Electrical Engineer and Contractor 146 STATE STREET ningluimton. X. T. News of Our I Justice McCann Hands Down Decision Upholding Assessment of Dunn McCarthy INVOLVES UNITED SHOE CO. Interpretation of Tax Law Will Have Far-reaching Effects, Is Lawyer's Opinion Maurjce E.

Page, former Corporation Counsel has won a victory for the city in a tax case which may have far-reaching effects, according to the opinion of lawyers. Mr. Page, in 1916, learned that Buffalo had added $26,000,000 in assessed valuations to its tax roll by taxing as real estate, machinery leased by manufacturing concerns. The Board of Assessors was notified and Assessor Charles D. Aldrich levied an assessment of $20,000 against the machinery used by Dunn McCarthy and leased from the I'nited Shoe Machinery Co.

The tax amounted to approximately $700 and this was paid under protest. The Dunn McCarthy Co. began proceedings to review the act of the assessor and compel a reversal of the assessment. Decision Upholds Assessors The case was tried before Justice George McCann and he has handed down a decision in which he upholds the right of the assessors to make the assessment. The decision says, in part: "The assessment against the United Shoe Machinery is in fact a liability which Dunn McCarthy Is obligated to pay by reason of contracts between Dunn McCarthy and the United Shoe Machinery whereby the former is allowed to use and leases from the latter, certain machinery, and a part of the consideration thereof Is the obligation on the part of Dunn McCarthy to pay all taxes assessed against the United Shoe Machinery on such machinery.

Diuin McCarthy Lessees. "Dunn McCarthy is a domestic corporation having its principal office in the city of New York. It operates a shoe factory in the city of Binghamton in a building and on premises owned by the Industrial Co. of Binghamton and of which Dunn McCarthy are the lessees. On the assessment roll prepared in September, 1916, Dunn McCarthy was assessed the sum of $5,000, as real property, for property located in said building, and described as "machinery." On the tame roll, the United Shoe Machinery Co.

was assessed in the sum of $20,000 for real property described as 'machinery in the plant of Dunn McCarthy Dunn McCarthy appeared before the Board of Assessors and raised objections on the ground that as to Dunn McCarthy, the property described in such assessment was in fact personal property and not assessible In the city of Buighamton, because Dunn McCarthy is a domestic corporation having its principal office at Auburn, New York, as to the United Shoe Machinery that it is a foreign corporation not doing business in the city of Binghamton, and owning no real property located in the said city for or on account of which it is liable for taxation therein, but that on the contrary, that all its property in said city is personal property, forming a part of its capital invested in its business and conductej in the State of New York, and on account of which it is assessed and taxed In the city of New York. Assessors Refused Chance. "The assessors refused to change the assessment as it appeared upon the said roll. A writ of certiorari was obtained and return made thereto. "The property in question which is assessed as 'machinery' has been installed for the purpose of carrying on the business of manufacturing shoes.

It is that some of such machinery was affixed to the factory building, but all of such machinery is capable of being moved in said building or of being removed without' injury to the building, or without making any change in the structure thereof, and that the location of such machinery in said building has been from time to time changed. In the ordinary course of operating the said factory and carrying on the said business. It does not appear from the papers, but it does from the argument that a portion of the said machinery was screwed or bolted to the floor, and that in connection therewith, was the usual equipment of shafting and pulleys for the operation of the same, nasslfictl as Real Estute. "The only question for determination in this ruse is as to whether or not for life purposes of taxation, the machinery In question can be treated as real estate, "Sub. Div.
