Dodge Takes Issue With Mr. Wells | and Claims That His Figures on City Valuations Are Too High. I e 8 Assessor Dodge yesterday expressed the opinion that the estimate made by Audi-| tor Wells of $400,000,000 as the assessed val- | uation of the city and county, in figur- ing the probabie tax levy for the next flscal year, was entirely too high. As resuit he claims that the tax rate of $1.0738 | for all city purposes will be increased if the Auditor’s figures hold. Dodge visited | the_Auditor yesterday and asked him upoh what information he had based his estimate. “‘Last year, Dr. Dodge, you brought the roll up to $405,000,000,”" repiied Wells, “‘and I have been informed upon all sides that ou will increase that amount this year. thought that $400,000,000 would be & safe figure to calcuiate upon.” Dodge stated that $25,000,000 which he had assessed on bonds is now in litiga-| tion and if the Supreme Court decided | against the city that much would have to be deducted from the roll. Dodge admit- | ted, however, that the limit for assessing | ersonal property was now $40 instead o , as formerly, and this would raise the | figures somewhat. | DAVID STAPLES’ WILL f FILED FOR PROBATE | Wel-Enown Insurance Man Be- queaths a Valuable Bstate to Friends and Relatives.

WICHITA, Kans., April 21.—Stella Ret- | fel, who came here two years ago from San Francisco end who says she was born near that city, is to-night niding until the | stomach of Dr. Black, her uncle, has been examined for traces of arsenic poisoning. The doctor’s body was disinterred this af- ternoon by Dr. Cave and Coroner McCol- lister. His heart was found to be greatly enlarged and the stomach in an awful shape, Dr. Cave has not yet completed the analysis of the stomach, but says he has no doubt that poison will be found from present appearances. The body was removed at the request of Dr. Black's sis- ter, Mrs. N. M. Kungle. In an Interview with The Call corres- pondent she said. “I think my brother was poisoned. He must have been given cut glass or arsenic. I am told he frothed at the mouth and spit blood before and after death. I was not there when he died. His wife was angry at me because I could not afford to keep them. This Stella Riefel is my niece. Sho is my sis- ter'’s daughter, but her father stole her when they Earted years ago. She has lived with Dr. Black and wife for some time. I think she gave my brother poi- son. Friends came to me a fewdays n.?ter bis death and said Mrs. Black had trans- | ferred her interest in the property, worth erhaps $5000, to this Riefel girl. Neither fnot my brother at Kingman ever wanted any share of his property. I think this girl is an adventuress after my brother’s glropeny and for tl reason she killed e Undertaker Dunbar, who embalmed the body before it was buried two weeks ago. sald even if traces of poison were found in hi tomach it would prove nothing be- cause arsenic entered into the embalming fluld used. Mrs. Kungle, who makes charges against Miss Reifel, also lived in San Francisco until about five years ago. The accused s a very beautiful young wo- man and is to be married shortly, it {s derstood, Dr. Black's property was trans- ferred to her two days after his death.
