GLOBE, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1929. 7. NEIVTON COUNTY TAX Board of Appeals Backs Equaliza- tlon County May Shape Action Today. I Litigation apparently is the only method left to Jasper county and Joplin to protect their Interests followingr a final decision yesterday morning of the Newton county board of, appeals in ratifying the assessment of the county hoard of equalization, which increased the Joplin Water Works Company's taxes to $500,000 to include not only the pumping station in Newton county but its pipe line system in Jasper county as well. County Judge George Berry of Joplin last night said the county has been awaiting the final decision of the board of appeals before taking action, and it is probable the form this action will take will be decided by the court today.

May Go to Courts. "It looks as if the matter will have to be taken to the courts," Berry said, "but don't feel worried, because can't see how Jasper county can lose." Counsel for the water company yesterday asked the board of appeal." to describe all property classed as "appurtenances," describing the pitDing system and its location, the filtering system, and all other equipment on which the new Newton coimty tax was based. This rea.uo.st was denied by the court. The board of equalization made the assessment on the theory that pipe lines are real estate and are an integral part of the real estate of the water company. Thus, pipe lines lending from the Newton county pumping station are held to be Newton county property.

The theory originated from a supreme court decision involving a water company tax disnute in Sedalia. in which the court held that pipe lines are real estate because if they were severed from the real estate they would be valueless to th owner. If this decision is found to hold for the situation here, then Jasper county and Jonlin stand to lose more than a year in taxes.

The case Is unparalleled in the criminal annals of the commonwealth. Separate Juries found Gangi Cero and later, Samuel Gallo, guilty in the first degree of the murder of Joseph Fantasia.

These verdicts make a sentence of death mandatory. That the two verdicts were not in harmony was indicated by Judge Louis Sherburne Cox, who presided at both trials. He pronounced them "inconsistent with the course of justice" and new trials were granted. It is expected that one jury will pass upon the evidence as it affects both men. Gangi Cero's arrest after the killing of Fantasia was brought about by Lewis Smith, who became chief state witness at the Cero trial.

Smith told of hearing the shot, of seeing a man running, and of seeing him throw away something as he fled. Cero contradicted Smith's testimony by protesting it was a case of mistaken identity. But the jury believed the witness and convicted Cero. After the trial Smith reported that he was being asked to retract his testimony in part and sign an affidavit admitting mistaken identity. The police set a trap for those involved and Galjo was caught.

Te went to jail for contempt in conspiring to thwart justice. While Gallo and Cero were in the same jail the latter broke from his guards and stabbed Gallo. A group of surgeons happened to be in conference in a nearby hospital. Only their prompt arrival saved Gallo's life. Then Cero told a new stoi-y.

He had worked for Gallo, he said, and was walking with him on the day of the killing. As they passed Fantasia, he asserted, Gallo fired. Gallo fled iu one direction, Cero said, and he in another. He denied knowing Gallo's motive. Cero had been placed In the death house and his execution was only a few hours distant when Philomena Romano, 22-year-old sister-in-law of Fantasia and former sweetheart of Gallo, went to Governor Fuller's office.

She said she -was with Fantasia when he was killed and that Gallo was the slayer. She repeated her tale to Judge Cox and Cero's sentence was stayed. Later, she repudiated her statement and went to jail for perjury. Still later, she confirmed her original statement and was held ao a witness against Gallp. Miss Romano also testified that Gallo had shot Fantasia.

Under cross-examination she admtited telling the authorities that she had been home at the time of the killing and admitted she had been jailed on the perjury charge which was later dropped. The jury returned a verdict against Gallo. PORTRAIT OF GOVERNOR'S WIFE IS BEING PAINTED Jefferson City, April oil portrait of Mrs. Henry S.

Canadian World's Greateat Travel System AUSTRALIAN BOOM IN OIL AROUSES HOPES Important Discovery on North Island of New Zealand Leads to Speculation. Sydney, Australia, April excitement has been caused throughout New Zealand and Australia by the fact that almost $1,000,000 spent in searching for oil in Britain's antipodean empire has been rewarded by an important discovery on the north Island of New Zealand. Geological formations in various parts of Australia and New Zealand for years have justified the hope that big flows of oil some day would be found, and at Roma, jn Queensland, the northern state of Australia, immense quantities of gas and some oil have been thrown off from extensive boring operations that are proceeding. Nothing Payable Found. Nothing really paj'able, however, has been found since the bore near New Plymouth, in the north island of New Zealand, suddenly burst into a gusher yielding 4,000 gallons an hour.

The yield has continued to increase and oil stocks have taken an immense rise on all the Australian and New Zealand exchanges. The bore was first drilled in 1914. A good supply of oil was struck at 2.100 feet and drilling was continued to 5,726 feet. Owing to defective shutting off of water, ever, the oil supply failed after sortie 100,000 gallons had been recovered. Attempts were made to shut off the water, but the casing dropped 1,000 feet and was damaged.

War intervened and the company's funds being exhausted, further attempts at reclamation were discontinued until last year, when a new company was formed.
