Hundreds.

FIGHTS CIVIL-SERVICE.
The Chicago City Administration Declares
War the Law.

ar on the Law.
Chicago, ILL.,, March 29--The city ad-
ministration has declared war to the
death ON the civil-service law. Yester-
days events proved this In more ways
than one. Mayor Hopkins open disregard
for that civil-service child of his own-the
police commission John H Ham
line to hand in his resignation. At night
speakers who visited a dozen police sta
tons to explain to the patrolmen the pro-
visions of the proposed law were trea ted
with marked disrespect in some cases,
and it was apparent that some master
hand had been at work. The men had
been told-and believed it-that to re-
tain their places the law would subject
them to another examination, and no
amount of argument could persuade them
that they were mistaken.
To show how bitterly the battle is being
waged it became known yesterday that
80 policemen and half that number of
hremen are actively at work inserting
the knife into the civil-service PROPOSE
ton. They have been detailed to do this
work by their superior officers, and while
doing it are drawing pay from the city
for attending to their duties.

TVS EFFORT TO COLLECT soe.2e7.
Injunction Suit Entered I'm Federal
Court-James ID. Wilson. Editor of
People. Found Guilty.

Frances v. Nash. widow, and Charlotte
G. Bushnell. daughter of Job y. Nash, have
entered suit in the federal court agairst
George A. Jameson, auditor, and Henry A.
Miller. treasurer of Tippecanoe county. and
James H. Mitchell. treasurer. and Thomas
W. Burt, clerk of Lafayette, to enjoin them
from extending on the tax duplicates OF
the city and county certain taxes that have
been assessed against the plaintiffs. The
complaint alleges that job ~. Nash died In
July, 1898. in Cincinnati, and that for fifteen
years prior to that time he had been
resident of States other than Indiana. He
left large estate, which included several
pieces of real estate in Tippecanoe county.
The widow elected to receive her share un-
der the law of the State, and received one
third OF the property. She and her daugh-
tiers still own this land. Recently the au-
thorities of Tippecanoe county have dis
covered. so it seems from the complaint,
that Nash held large number OF notes
secured by mortgage on land in this state
These amounts have been entered for taxa
ton, and now the plaintiffs are endeavor-
ing to have the authorities OF Lafayette
and Tippecanoe county enjoined to prevent
the extension of the amounts on the tax
duplicates.
According to the complaint, the amount
Of taxables that it is claimed escaped tax
alton in 1851 was $685. 190. This amount
gradually increased until in 1888, the year
is claimed did not pay. any taxes amounted
to $70o,791. The total amount of taxes
claimed for the twelve years is ,;s
property was not taxable in this State, be-
cause 1t was held outside of it. The COM

The deadlock has continued at every meet

The report now is that an agreement has
been reached to elect DR.. Stone to succeed
DR.. Metcalf. and that DIR. Metcaf will sup

story seems plausible from the fact that
DR.. Metcalf has recently purchased drug

At the time the first deadlock arose, the
Republican members of the board told their

time to support any good man whom the
Democrats could unite upon for the secre-
taryship. This was for the purpose of get

Church adjourned yesterday afternoon.
During the morning paper on THE Re-

the expenses OF the societies might be

cussed considerably and the opinion seemed
TO be that IL would be better for the col

tire control and thus be enabled to place
