ST. M.RK'S CASE.
Church Trouble Taken Up Today Be-
fore Judge BinEhnm.

The case Of John P. Torbett and others
against Joseph 3. Bennett and others, in
which the validity of the election of the
vestrymen of st. Marks Episcopal Church
last Easter is raised, was taken up today
before Chief Justice Bingham in Equity
Court No. 1.
The bill Of complaint was filed the 25th Of
last June, and the court was asked to re-
strain the defendants from performing the
duties Of and from exercising the offices Of
vestrymen, to which the complainants
claimed to have been duly elected. The
petition was presented to Chief Justice
Bingham, who refused to grant temporary
restraining order, and directed that testi-
mcny be taken in the case. That was done,
and the lawyers in the case Messrs. VIM. A.
Meloy and Henry Z. Davis. on behalf Of
the complainants, and Mr.. J. Walter Cook
sey, on behalf of the defendants, after
reading the bill of complaint and the an
sWer of the defendants, started in to read
to the court the thousand and more pages
of testimony taken on either side.
Nothing else was done today, and II is
probable that the reading of the testimony
will occupy most, If not all, Of tomorrow.
Hence, the arguments Will hardly COM
mence before Monday.

SENSATIONAL REPORT.
Illinois Labor Bureau Says Wealthy
Taxpayers Are Perjurers.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 2S.--The most
sensational report ever issued by a State
Bureau was made public tonight by the
Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics 1t
charges that the great majority ef the
wealthy taxpayers of Illinois and more es-
pecially Of Chicago are perjurers; that
the assessors are guilty of malfeasance in
office; that the present financial condition
of Chicago is directly traceable to the
corrupt system of taxation and that the
"deplorable condition of workingmen is due
to the MISUNDERSTANDING methods of taxa
ton which prevails in Illinois. The report
is made up of a mass of tables COM
piled from official reports of as
SCISSORS, banks, real estate transfers
board of equalization and the various
municipal departments to which the agents
of the bureau had access. After declaring
that lit is the purpose of the report to ex-
pose existing methods of taxation in Illinois.
with special reference to their effect on
labor interests" the reports proceed TO re-
view the work of former bureaus. The
stand is taken that it is idle to dwell upon
the wages and condition of the average
wage earners OF the State. The bureau con-
tends that their condition lis proved by evil
dence SO clear and abundant that the COL
lection of any further statistics merely
prove ii would be wasted effort" The
bureau takes the position that taxation
is the chief instrument OF tyranny
