IMPORTANT DECISION.
In Regard to Rights to Take Shell
Fish.

The judges Of the appellate division of the
Supreme Court, handed down an opinion
this morning in the case OF John Allen vs..
John Il. Allen, TO the effect that tho right to
dig clans or take shell fish between high and
low water is superior to the interest any one
can have in growing thatch. The decision
was made on an appeal for new trial
brought by the defendant. who was found
guilty of trespsass on the plaintiffs land. a
very ingenious argument was made in behalf
Of the plaintiff by Attorney Samuel W. X.
Allen, denying the right of any person to go
over thatch land and take or dig shell fish
between high and low water in certain parts
of the State in the absence OF particular
privilege 70 do SO. Attorney Il. Olney, in his
argument for the defendant, contpnded that
the title TO all land between high and low
water was in the State, and any one had an
absolute right 70 take fish in public waters.
The court in she opinion noted, held that
the Judge at the trial of the case was errone-
ous In affirming that IL was trespass in the
defendant 10 disturb the plaintiffs thatch in
digging clans, and that the public right of
fishing IL paramount on the private right

ways and means, said yesterday relative
to the recommendations of the committee
for the Central Hospital that the commit
maintenance $4,000, would be enough if
the institution is properly managed. He
said that the recommendation was based
upon the figures furnished by the secretary
of the State Board of Charities, and on a
comparison with the cost of the hospitals
of Ohio per capita The Indiana hospitals
cost over so more per capita a year. The
reason is said to lie in the fact that in
Ohio the hospitals employ one attendant
for every fourteen patients, while the ratio
in Indiana is one for every nine patients.
The higher cost therefore is due in part to
the salary roll. This discovery, of course,
is quite in line with partisan management
of institutions-the greater the number of
workers. Mr.. Allen said the committee was
not favorably impressed with the Central
Hospital trustees who protested against the
proposition Incorporated in the law to make
them serve without pay. This seemed to
bother the nonresident trustees as much as
the needs of the institution.

MILITARY BILL PASSED.
In Future Mobs Will Handle Bricks
and stones with Less Freedom.

The military bill passed the Senate yes
terday. 1t appropriates $4,000 makes more
liberal provision for armories, ETC., but the
more important changes are those that re-
late to authority in time of riot and dis
turbance and to trials of militiamen for
results attending the firing upon mob.
Under the existing law the command of
the military is lodged with the sheriff of
the county where the outbreak occurs.
The hampering effect of this provision was
seen in the miners and railroaders strikes
last summer when it occurred that the
militia was frequently hampered by sheriffs
with gelatine backbones, or who were in
sympathy with the mobs or had future po-
litical interests to subserve The practical
effect of the bill is to place the officer COM
handing the militia in authority over the
civil officers. Hereafter when the soldiers
are made the targets for sticks and stones
they VIII not be at the mercy of officials
inclined to temporiZe with lawlessness. The
effect of the bill is 10 practically place
under martial law any community
ton where the military may be called to
preserve order.
In the trial OF soldiers who are charged
with the injury or death of the members
of mob the military Is made superior TO
the civil courts. the provision being that
soldiers so charged shall be tried by court
martial and that the finding of the military
tribunal shall be final.
The bill encountered sharp opposition,

81 which provides that no officer who shall

Mr.. McIntosh's bill for Special Levy
Passed to Engrossment.


Passed to Engrossment.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Mcintosh au-
thorizing direct tax for the support of the
three State institutions of learning was
yesterday reported favorably and concurred
in under the previous question. 1t was called
up by Mr.. Allen who desired that it should
be disposed of before the appropriation bill
became the special order according to the
rule the House had adopted. The bill pro-
posed one-fifteenth of mill for the State
University at Bloomington and one-twen-
and for Purdue at Lafayette. Mr.. Booher
moved to strike out the enacting clause,
but his motion was lost Then Mr.. Melendy
moved to amend to reduce the levy
half as to the Normal School and
Purdue and to one-twentieth for the State
University Mr. Harris and Mr.. Hanna OPP
posed raising money for these institutions
in this way. Opposition developed from Mr..
Griffin, who wanted to know why it was
proposed to raise money by direct levy
nothing secret or undetermined about the
proposition and that each member could
take the levy and figure up what would
accrue to each institution. He said this
would simply prevent the officers of these
institutions taking time that ought to be
devoted to their teaching to come to Indian
apolis and lobby with the Legislature for
a specific appropriation every year. Mr.
Dinwiddie moved to recommit the bill with
instructions to strike out the direct tax
Chairman Allen said that il this done
the committee on ways and means would
append the bill to the appropriation bill.
Finally Mr.. Melendy withdrew his amend
ment, the previous question was demanded
by Mr. Leedy and the bill was ordered to
