Gotlieb Gassert. q German saloou-keeper
at the corner of Madison avenue and Della
ware street. reported at the station house
yesterday evening that between and
o'clock yesterday afternoon he had lost b
pocket-book containing 1856 on East Wash
ington, between State and Rural streets.
Fred Baumann, q pretzel baker on Indiana
avenue. had entered into an agreement
with Gassert whereby the latter was
to pay off mortgage held by
John Hefner butcher, upon Baumann's
property and take an assignment OF the
mortgage to himself According to agree
ment Baumann and Gassert started In

afternoon, with the money, which Gassert
carried in his hip-pocket The pocket
book contained four or five twenty dollar
bills, $500 In ten-dollar bills and the bal
ance, with the exception of s. in silver.
was iD five-dollar bills. They stopped In
several saloons on the way to H9fner's
house, the last being at the corner of Wash
ingtOn and State streets. Just
before reaching Hefner's place Cas-
sert put his hand back to his hip
pocket and discovered that the pocket

MR.. JAEGER HAS THE FLOOR.


The State Board of Tax Commissioners
ment from Godfrey Jaeger. general tax
agent of the Lake Shore e. Michigan South
ern and of the Fort Wayne u jackson
road. which Is q dependency of the former
corporation. Mr.. Jaeger contended that
the appraisement of S53. 232 per mile for the
lines of these properties is too high, and
suggested that the company would not
think s4s.40s per mile as higher than
equity would justify. In support Of
his position. he said that while
the system has increased its lines three
hundred miles in the past ton years. COM
petition has increased and the average pas
Benger and freight rates have decreased, so
that the roads gross earnings are not
greater than they were. The taxes paid in
Indiana by this 81 stem last year on valu-
alton of g., 400. 900 were 1926, 600 In amount,
or 81 per cent. of the gross earnings. Mr.
Jaeger pleased the commissioners by the
presentation of table of figures, showing
the ratio in per cents between the gross
earnings of twenty-five of the leading In
The per cent. of earnings to
valuation of twelve east and
west-bound roads averaged S063. while

highest proportion of earnings to val
uation in Indiana is shown to the
Vandalia's credit IL being 1915 per
cent. The Cincinnati. Wabash & Michi-
gan road earns 35.7 per cent. of it's valua-
tion by the board. These figures interested
the commissioners especially because there
has been some controversy over the ap-
pralsement of these properties. Their own
ers are satisfied with the appraisement
while other roads are claiming that they
