Vanderbilt's Evasion Of Personal Taxation

The New York Qraphic prints a fac j simile of an affidavit made to the Taxj Collector by William H. Vanoerbilt as to i his personal property. It was assessed ! at $1,000,000. The affidavit is as follows : " April 22, 1878.- I hereby swear that j my personal property, subject to tax: ation, does not exceed $1. My debts exceed all taxable personal property."

Where the Missing Men Go To. A New York exchange tells " How men Suddenly Disuppear from Our Streets."
