Probability that a Display OF War Ships Will
Be Made in South American Waters.

Probability that a Display OF War Ships Will
Be Made in South American Waters.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-There has been
some agitation for a day or two past OF a
proposition to send the new ships forming
the squadron under command of acting
Rear Admiral Walker to South america in
stead of Europe. The argument in favor of
this scheme is that the visit of the ships TO
Central and South American ports will ma
terially aid in securing the results hoped
for from the meeting of the international
American Congress. by making a good i'm
preston upon the people of those countries.
while no substantial benefits will be
reaped from the trip to Europe. 1t is not
probabIethat any change in the programme.
SO far as it has been announced, will be
made, but there will be an addition
that may satisfy the advocates of the South
American voyage The Chicago, Boston,
Atlanta and Yorktown viii sail for Europe
about Nov. 10. and after a trip through the
Mediterranean sea, and visiting all the
Europeon capitals which can be reached by
water, will return TO the United States In
the spring. and then make a trip to South
and Central American waters. IhlS mas
not been officially announced, but the
statements made upon excellent authority.
When the squadron shall visit our American
neighbors on the south. it will be increased
by the presence of the Baltimore, PetreT
and V~esuvius, which will then be Ill a con-
dition to sail.

Lively Stirring Up Among Makers OF False
Tax Returns In Tippecanoe County.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Oct. 23.-The prosecuting
attorney of this county, some weeks ago.
brought nearly 500 penalty suits against
persons for failure to make true and COM
plete returns to the assessor. A number of
persons so sued came in, acknowledged
the corn." and paid; others determined to
fight them. The first case tried of this
kind was against Mrs. Malinda Culver,
who was charged with concealing $500
worth of taxables. The jury was out but a
short time, returning a verdict filming ner
$500. Mrs. Culver did not fight the second
case, and was fined so by the court. the
omitted property in this instance being
but 500. The result of this trial was a
surprise to a large number OF other defend
ants. the penalty being much more severe
than they supposed it would be. 1t is
estimated that the agitation over omitted
taxables will result in a large increase in
the county and city revenue, and will put
thousands of dollars into the pockets of
the prosecutor. who is to receive 25 per
cent. of all taxes collected on omitted
property. He has already put upon the
county duplicate over $500, 0O0.

A state. Right to Cona.cate property.

DEs MONIES. Ia, Oct. 2.-In the cases of
j. y. Craig. appellant. VS.. Werthueller 81
Endy ct al. and of j. NJ. Craig. appellant,
VS.. Berthold Rosch ct al, a decision has
been handed down by the Supreme Court.
prepared by Judge Given, in which several
old features and some new ones of the pro-
hibitory law are passed upon. Among the
questions is the right of the State by legis-
lative enactment to confiscate personal
property of a defendant without process of
law. il being claimed that statutes author
izing such procedure are in conflict with
the Constitution of the United States and
of Iowa The opinion holds that in a GRIM
ina action for nuisance against the man.
the place kept by him is on trial also. and
therefore, there is due process of law. This
is matter that has been much discussed
and involves a grave question of the extent
of the powers of the State Legislature. The
property rendered vslueless by this order
of the court exceeds $4,000 in value, and
consist of breweries in the city of Burling-
ton. The case will probably be taken to
the United States Supreme Court.

WARM AKENTUCKYCOUNTY
Harlan Courthouse the Scene of q
Bloody Battle Between Rival Factions.
Wilson Howard, One of the Leaders, Reported
to Have Been Fatally Wounded-Commu-
nication Cut 0f-TrOops Requested.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 23.-The factional fight
which has so long disgraced Harlan county
has been renewed with increased fury. In
the past few days various rumors have
been afioat regarding the besieging of
Judge Lewis and party in the Harlan court
house by Howard and his followers, but it
was hoped that the trouble was at an end.
An event which occurred on Saturday aft
ernoon, however, precipitated a renewal of
the war. John Howard, q nineteeD-year-
old brother of Wills Howard. was IN town.
where the father of Howard and his broth
ers live. Finlay Smith, son of Wash Smith,
one of the w~ealthiest men in Harlan county,
and who is spoken Of as m of the
best citizens, was also in town.
John Howard was walking along the street
and Finlay Smith was in the door of the
Cumberland Hous when they saw each
other. Howard pulled hispistol and young
Smith seized a Winchester rife which was
near him, and both began to shoot. One of
Smiths bullets grazed Towards temple.
and the shock knocked him down. While
he lay there. stunned for the moment,
Smith left. as did Howard a few minutes
later. The familiar sound of the revolver
and rifle told the people that trouble had
come again.
This shooting occurred about 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. John Howard left
town, and when the news reached Wills
Howard thathis brother had come near be-
ing killed by q member of the law-and-
order party he vowed vengeance. News
was brought into Harlan Courthouse Sun
day morning that Wills had said he intend
ed to wipe out all opposition to himself and
his methods at one stroke. This seemed to
be verified when word was received from
several directions that Wills Towards fol-
lowers were arming themselves. Later a
reliable messenger of the law-and-order
party brought intelligence that the outlaw
had sent word to all his men to come we'll
armed to a rendezvous a few miles from the
county seat. Wills was implicitly Obeyed
by his followers. and soon a large crowd
gathered at his summons.
On Monday morning a battle was fought.
Wilson Howard and one of his principal
henchman. named Jennings. were wounded,
probably fatal. The Turner's have been in
possession of the town for more than a
week. Their leader is John Turner. just
seventeen years of age. There are about

morning Turner led his followers to an at
tack on the Howard camp. The attacking
party got in the first work, but were finally
driven back to town.
A report reached Pineville at II O'clock
this morning that the Howard forces in
Harlan, enraged by the battle of yesterday,
and the probable fatal wounding OF their
leader, left camp last night and started for
Harlan Courthouse, intending to kill
everybody that belongs to the opposition
and burn the town. G. G.. HUFF. clerk of
the Harlan county court at PIneville, is
afraid to go home, though he has no con-
nection whatever with the trouble.
