DIDN'T BUY HIS TABLES.
Tax Commissioners Employed Will
Iiams on "a Nominal Salary.

An afternoon paper charges E. D. VIII
liams, the insurance actuary who came here
to do some work for the State Board of
Tax Commissioners with trying to work
the papers for paid notices that would en-
able him to secure patronage from the pub
lie. He was quoted as saying: Now, l am
in position to be of service to the individual
policy holders in the Mutual Life of Indi-
ana. If a policy holder desires to know
just how much the company owes him 1 am
in position to tell him. l am ready to sell
my brains to the policy holders. Now, I
wish to run an advertisement on the finan-
that L am in position to be OF service to
them. | also wish to get an idea into the
paper; wish to set out the details of the
sy stem under which ! arrive at the cash
surrender value of life policies. This con-
Germs my employment by the State"
The inference was that Williams wanted
to have complimentary articles concerning
himself published, for which he was willing
to pay. He was quoted as expressing sur
prise when he learned that he could not do
that in Indianapolis.
Col. /. N. Walker, a m of the Tax
Beard; was quoted as saying that Will
that the board had purchased from him
tables showing the cash surrender value of
policies of ali kinds" This led a number
of insurance men to suppose that the board
had been imposed upon, and that it had
bought expensive tables from Williams,
wien II hight nave secured the mIOfna-
ton in book form for about $1.50. Colonel
Walker told a Journel representative last
night that the board had simply employed
Williams for two or three days at a nom
inal sum-, knowing him to be an expert ac-
ccuntant in the insurance line. The board
was cognizant of the Wright tables used
by the insurance companies, which makes it
possible to arrive at the actual value of a
given policy at any time. To use the sys-
tenn in vogue among the insurance COM
panies requires considerable figuring, and
Williams was employed to do work thai
would simplify matters for the board"
How much did you pay him, colonel?" he
was Sked.
"A nominal sum-you would be surprised
at it's insigniicance I believe we also
agreed to pay his railroad fare from Gin
cinnati. We know absolutely nothing about
the man, except that we had knowledge of
his abilities through his connection with
some suits. We did not buy his system
from him, and we got value received for
every cent we paid him."

TROUBLE IN ASSESSING
PEOPLE REFUSING TO GIVE INFoR-
NATION ON INSURANCE POLICIES.
Building and Loan Secretaries Advis-
ing stockholders to Refuse to An
swer as to Running Stock.

The seventy-fve men who are taking the
tax assessment OF Center township are
having a lively time collecting the lists of
people who decline to be assessed on GER
tain kinds of property. 1t is understood the
secretaries OF numerous building and loan
associations have advised their patrons to
refuse to give in their running stock,
and this is causing the assessors consider
able trouble Then there is difficulty in
collecting Information on insurance poll
cies. During the tendency of the suit TO en-
join the assessment of insurance policies
a good many policy holders are refusing to
talk to the assessors.
The deputies report a great many peculiar
incidents that happen from day to day.
East Of the city, near Irvington, a unique
case exists at the present time. a dairy
man keeping seyenty-five head of cattle re-
sides within a mile of his son, who also
Keeps some live stock. The assessors say
they have been unable to get any satisfac-
tory information concerning these seventy
i've head Of cattle. A deputy calls on the
old gentleman and asks that he be fur
nlshed the valuation of these cattle and is
informed that they belong to the son. The
latter Is found and declares the cattle are
the property of the father. When both are
own the stock. Tn deputies are in despair
and Assessor Saulcy proposes to go out
this week and see what he can do toward
locating the owner of the cattle.
Many complaints have been made of the
conduct Of women. who often undertake to
work a bluff game on the deputies. There
is a man on the North Side who mas been
lodging the assessor for some time. The
deputies have repeatedly called at his house
and have left the lists with the request that
he ill them out. One day last week two
deputies called at the house and found the
housewife at home. She became very in
dignant when she found who her visitors
were.
You men get out of here, and if you
come back you'll get a dose of scalding
water!' she screamed. and looked as if she
were about to execute the threat at once.
About this time it began to rain and the
deputies took refuge on a rear porch. The
woman took her stand in the door, and
while the shower lasted she directed a bit
ter TRADE against her unwelcome guests.
Assessor Saulcy complains that business
men arc delinquent in furnishing lists of
their property. He says it is due to care
~lessness, however, and not through a desire
TO evade the law. The assessment lists must
all be in by June ], and three weeks later
the county board of equalization will con-
Vene. The board is composed of the coun-
ty assessor, auditor and treasurer and two
property oWners, who are to be appointed
by the judge of the Circuit Court.

A STOCK R BRHWL.
Harry Sells Gashed Across the Head
by Charles Pipes.

There was a fight among stock dealers
and employees at the stock yards yester-
day, in which Harry Sells was pretty badly
bruised. Charles Sedwick and P. E. John
son got into an alteration about the
Weigh of some stock. They were about
to light when Sells came up. He was a
friend Of Johnson and took sides with him
Then Charles Pipes, a friend of Sedwick,
came up. He was armed with a heavy club.
With it he stopped all the trouble in a
hurry. He knocked Sells out with a single
blow on the head and then went after
Johnson, striking him several times, but
not hurting him badly.
Sells was carried to the hotel and q ply
stefan was There was a long
deep cash on top of the head and it was
feared the skull was fractured. Sells re-
vived quickly. however, and it is believed
that he escaped with a superficial wound.
A message to the police station brought
Patrolmen Wallace and HolZ on their BIZ
cycles. They found Sedwick, Sells and
Johnson, but Pipes had drawn $40 pay due
him and had taken his revolver and
started towards oklahoma" The patrol
men got into a buggy and overlook him.
He made no resistance and was placed un-
der arrest, charged with assault and bat
terry with intent to kill.

In that case il viii be drawn for when five

WILTSIE WILL PROSECUTE.
To Follow the Ferriter Case When
Venued.

The case against John Ferriter for the
murder of Patrolman Charles Ware, and in
which a. motion for a change of venue has
already been sustained, is awaiting dis
position at the hands of Judge McCray.
Although the attorneys have about decided
that the case should go to Morgan county,
it is not sure that it will go there. 1t is
probable, however, that the case will either
be tried at Martinsville or at Franklin,
Johnson county.
Judge McCray intimated at the time the
motion was filed that he would venue the
case to any county selected by the attor-
neys. Prosecuting Attorney Wiltsie says
he is willing to try the case in Morgan
county and Attorney Spahr, for the defense,
is willing to take it TO either Morgan or
Johnson. The States attorneys are very
anxious to AVE the question settled, so that
the trial can be had nc later than June.
Prosecutor Wiltsie will follow the case and
conduct the prosecution unless the judge of
the court to which it is sent appoints other
lawyers to look after the States interests.
Should this be done, this county will have
to bear the additional expense.
