Mr.. CoLBER1,s QUEER METHODS.
Refuses tn Render Assistance i'm the
Case Against Thomas Collier.

Owing to the fact that Superintendent
of Police Colbert refused TO allow patrol
men to serve subpoenas for witnesses In the
case against Thomas Collier. foreman of a
street repair gang. charged with present.
ing fraudulent claim at the controllers
office, the case was continued yesterday.
Justice Nickerson says that he had separate
subpoenas for each witness, so that the pa
trolmen would have trouble in getting
service on witnesses living on their beats.
The deputy constable who took the sum
mons to the superintendent reported that
Colbert refused to allow the patrolmen to
serve them. claiming that they could not
legally do 50. Justice Nickerson regards
the excuse made by the superintendent as
very lame and extremely ridiculous. A
subpoena may be served by any person.
The Justice telephoned to the police sta
ton Wednesday evening and inquired II the
subpocnas had been served. The man who
answered him said ne presumed they had
been served.
Yesterday. when the witnesses failed to
appear. Justice Nickerson telephoned again,
but could receive no satisfactory informa-
tion- Inasmuch as the justices of the peace
are constantly called upon to perform
services for the city, gratuitously, Justice
Nickerson was indignant to think that no
assistance was given him in this case by
the police, especially as other city officials
nave pretended to be anxious 10 nave the
case against Collier thoroughly investigated.
City Attorney Curtis volunteered TO sassist
in the prosecution, and Assistant City At
torney Bell was present for that purpose
yesterday.
The main witness against Collier is Will
liam Lyons. 1t is feared that he left the
city before service could be had ON him.
But for the fact that Justice Nickerson be-
lieved the police superintendent would CO.
operate with him in a case in which the
city is SO vitality interested he would have
directed his cOnStabeS to serve the sum-
mons, Notwithstanding the fact that they
can collect no fees for their services.
John F. Greaney, one of Golfers friends,
says that the latter is victim OF put
up Job by a man who wanted to get his
place" 1t is said that the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, of which Collier Is member,
will take up his case at the next meeting
and will file charges against some of his ac-
cusers. Superintendent Colbert Is said TO be
a member of that order. and people are
wondering whether he is trying to shield
Collier.

Encouragement Ketcham expects to be-

STATE TAX BOARDS ORDERS.
Howard County Must Come to Time
with State Taxes.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners
held a secret session yesterday morning and
got after the Howard county officers with a
sharp stick. Last August, when the Tax
Commissioners were equalizing the assess
ments throughout the State. Howard county
real estate was raised in common with
others. The Howard county increase on the
lands. lots and Improvements was fixed at
10 per cent. Most OF the duplicates came in
TO the Auditor or State by the LIST of jan
uary. but Howard county did not come in
until the Sth of February. when IL was five
weeks overdue. 1t was then discovered that
the county auditor had made this increase
on the duplicate only so far as the country
portion was concerned: upon city lots and
improvements in Kokomo no increase had
been made.
The Auditor OF State opened communion
ton with the Howard county officials and
Capt. Milton Garrigus, auditor of Howard
county, admitted that the Increase had not
been made in Kokomo- He had failed to do
this simply because he did not believe the
increase to be a proper one, al any rate, he
thought it was too late to go over the whole
matter anew. When IL was insisted that he
do this ne questioned the authority Of the
State officers In the matter. When the State
board met yesterday Attorney-general
Ketcham was consulted and as q result OF
the session the Auditor of State was or
dered by the board TO proceed to- collect

ARRANGEMENTS FOR RACES.
Admission Fee VIII be so Cents for
Big Days-Many Horses Coming.

Secretary Graves, of the Indianapolis
Driving Club. returned from Terre Haute
yesterday, where ne went to attend the run
ming meeting. He was greatly surprised to
see the crowd that turned out to see the
races. when two of the events had to be
run in the rain. During one of the races the
storm was a heavy one, but the bangtails,
with the daring little jockeys up, sped
around the track, and In good time. too.
Mr.. Graves Is of the opinion that, with
such an interest displayed at Terre Haute,
the Indianapolis meeting, which will have
the same horses. viii be a great success.
All OF the horses that are on the Terre
Haute track viii come TO Indianapolis. and
there will be additional flyers to give an
added interest in all of the events.
The Indianapolis meeting will begin Mon
day and last through six days. Some spe-
cial events are being arranged for the FRI
day card. The list of entries for Monday
will be published on Sunday morning.
The driving club has decided to fix the
admission at 80 cents, and The price will be
the same throughout the week, notwiIh-
standing that some splendid cards will be
down for Decoration day, which closes the
weeks events.

FOR A NEW BUILDING
ODD FELLOWS ADOPT REPORT OF
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Building Committee Selected and
Given Full Power to Erect n New
Home for the Order.

1t was settled yesterday that the Grand
Lodge. l. o. o. F.. will have new building
in this city. The size and cost and every
detail is to be left in the hands of the build
ing committee. The Grand Lodge. by very
emphatic vote, adopted the report Of the
special committee which had investigated
the advisability Of putting up new build
ing. The report Of this committee recon-
mended that the Grand Lodge erect a seven
story building on the site Of the present
lodge hall. This report was referred to an
other committee. which yesterday morning
handed in the following report. which was
adopted:
Resolved, That that portion of the report
OF the grand trustees relating 10 the build
same Is hereby adopted, and that the three
Grand Lodge trustees, the grand secretary
and the grand treasurer be appointed as a
building committee, and the grand master
shall appoint three other members or the
Grand Lodge TO act in conjunction with
above building COMMITTEES and that the said
committee be empowered to adopt plans for
said new building and make contracts there
for, to raise all necessary money Tor that
purpose, and TO execute all papers or mort
cages that may be necessary 10 carry out
the construction of said building"
The building committee consists of John
f. Wallick and John A. Furgason, of this
city; George Shirts. of Noblesvilie, who are
the trustees; b. F. Foster, grand secretary;
James A. Wildman, grand treasurer, and
three others to be appointed by the grand
master. This committee will have the power
to do whatever 1t deems best for the order.
Mr.. Wallick said yesterday that the leases
on the present building were In such shape
that he thought the committee could get
immediate control of the building by giving
the present tenants options on rooms similar
to the ones they have. Huder's lease runs
for two and one-half years, but Mr.. Wal
lick thinks suitable arrangements can be
made with him. There is another lease that
will not expire for two years, but IL has
already been arranged by giving an option
on a room in the new building.
Mr. WaIlick could not say when work
would begin, but thought 1t likely that 1t
would be this summer. He thinks the new
buildings will not cost less than $4,000.
but this Is merely a rough estimate and
may fall considerably short OF the actual
cost.
The following nominations for officers were
made. but the election viii not be held until
the fall meeting.
