Man 84 Part OWner of
New Mexico Ranch
Makes Way to New

BY EDNA MARSHALL
Special Correspondent.
of The Evening Sentinel
NEW YORK. Feburary 3—Young
girls. pretty and stagestruck. and
young boys. afraid of punishment for
pinying hookey from school. have no
monopoly as runaways from home.
Old men and women. bent on leav-
ing their posts behind them have
been almost numerous at New
York's gates of entry during the
past week.
In a little hall room on the top
floor of one of the city’s cheapest
hotels. James Cranton. 84 years old
and part owner of a. ranch out in
New Mexico is waiting for his son to
come and take him home. They
found him Friday with $3 in his
pocket tired of the open streches of
the west. keen for the white lights
at Broadway of which he'd read so
much. wandering almiessLy and in-
quiring of passers-by where a stran-
ger could go. He wanted to be a
New Yorker he said—but he did-
n't quite know how.
Today, his white head is bowed
into his hand and his hair is rumpl—
ad from the fingers' running through
it as hls‘ihought of what a failure
he'd made of his runaway—planned
and plotted for years.
And in another small boarding
house at the other end of the city
where the good and the bad both
meet. is little Miss Cynthia Adairo.

Ore. She wanted to go on the stage
shclsaid. and only Friday after weeks
of fruitless hunt was finally con-
vinced that the New York theatre
had no openings for 66 year old

Anti Christian Move
0 D I
Growmg in China
PEKING. Debember 28. —- (Cor-
respondence of the A. P.) Out of the
general unrest prevailing in China
there appears to be growing an anti-
Christan sentiment. which is causing
some anxiety among missionaries
and western educators. The out-
standing evidences of this growth at
present are n strike of students at
the "Yale in China" high school and
circulation by a Shanghai newspap-
er of a. bulletin denouncing Christ-
ianity‘and Christian missionaries and
the:- Work.
The trouble at the Yale in China
schools an institution supported in
part by funds locally raised and in
part by an apropriaton from Am-
erca appears to have been from in-
‘cluslon of the bible in their curric-
ulum on the grounds that it was an
arbitrary and unwarranted imp'osi-
tics/of w'eetern belief. having no
bearing’upon education.
. The Shanghai China press says it
is difficult to discover the reason for
the anti-Christian movement. but
that one exists there can be no
doubt.

he declares.
Discusses Question
l‘liscusslng this tax question. Mr.
Blodgctt says:
"ily the requirements of the sin-
tutcs long in force in this state.
owners of property. including real
estate, have been required to bring
in llsls of the some annually to the
assessors within a time specified in
the law. Failure to comply with the
statutes in this respect hns sunjccted
delinquent taxpayers to payment of
1!.) pct ccnt additional, the assessors
and board of relief being obligated
to enforce this penalty.
“Tho quesl'xon is raised as to why
real estate owners should be re-
qulrcd to list and describe such pro-
perty. The question is difficult to
answer ,pnrliculnrly when it is ob-
served that by another mandate of
law the property must be set L] the
list by the assessors in tho nun-3 of
the record owner. »
Made Out by Assessors
"The lists of real estate so hand-
cd in by taxpayers as a rule are not-
cd ‘snme as last your.‘ Likely more
than three-fourths of the lists hand-
ed in by taxpayers are made out
hastily for the taxpayers-by the. us-
sessors. Furthermore. but few of
respecting each parcel of Wall es-
lrlle to be taxed and with maps
or hand the assessors need no tax-
payer lists of real estate.
'The cards alphabetically arrang-
vd. once they are made out and if
properly kept. contain more com-

drawn. and alterations made on

with respect to each transfer.
“it is desirable that towns which
are painstaking with respect. to tax-
ation of property and which have
installed suitable systems. such as
