DESPITE FEDERAL ORDER
PROCEEDINGS TO GET EXTENSIVE
PROPERTY ON TAX DUPLICATES.
Mandatory Writ in Indiana Manufac-
turing Company's Case-An Ac-
ton for Contempt Recalled.

Mandatory proceedings were brought in
the Superior Court yesterday to compel
County Auditor Smith to place on the tax
duplicates of the county the assessment
named by the State Board Of Tax Com
missioners against the Indiana Manufacture
ing Company. The proceedings grew out of
the dispute between the State and Federal
Courts on the question of this taxation last
summer.
Two years ago the United States Court
issued an injunction against the Marion
county tax officials restraining them from
assessing the capital stock Of the Indiana
Manufacturing Company. 1t was held that
this stock represented patent rights and
was not taxable. Last summer the attor-
ney general, who was represented by Mer-
rill Moores, succeeded in having the as
sessment of the Indiana Manufacturing
Company fixed at $1S2000. 1t was claimed
by the County Board of Review that this
was violation of the federal injunction
and proceedings were brought before Judge
Baker TO have the county treasurer, audi
tor assessor and Board of Review cited
for contempt Of court. Before the date set
down for hearing the County Board of Re
view reduced the assessment of the manu-
featuring company to 1854, the alleged
valuation Of its tangible property. An APP
peal was then taken from the county
board to the State Board of Tax Commits
sioners There the assessment was raised to
$500, COO
The contempt proceedings against the
county tax officials were not pushed after
the reduction had been made. There was
considerable speculation at the time as to
what would be the result of the action of
tho ta4a in, iriO he apf
in the face of the injunction. AS soon as
the state board had taken action the coun-
ty auditor was notified, but declined to
place the assessment on the duplicates.
Yesterday evening Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Moores appeared in the Superior Court
and recited the facts to Judge Carter. The
court at once issued writ of mandate
which will require the county auditor to
place the figures on the duplicate by 10
o'clock on Feb. 10 or appear and show
cause why he has not done

ANOTHER WORE HER CLOAK.
Dora HendersOn's Unusual Defense-A
PaWnbrOker in Contempt.

Dora Henderson, sister of Alonzo Hen
derson, who is serving d sentence in prison
for the killing of John Tarpey, at Haugh-
vile, three years ago, was in the Criminal
Court yesterday for theft, Her case was
concluded. The girl was charged with talk
ing a watch from the pocket of w. j.
Mitchell in his saloon on South New Jer
sey street. The alleged robbery took place
while Mitchell was stupid and drowsy from
liquor. The girl, when arrested, denied the
theft, but she was indicted. A short time
after her arrest the watch was found in
a pawnshop kept by Michael Drozdowitz,
on East Washington street. The pawn
broker claimed the Henderson girl had
brought the watch to him. Yesterday
when the case was called DroZdowitz
failed to appear, and officer was sent
after him. Judge McCray fined him for
contempt of court. The pawnbroker said
he could identify the woman who had
pawned the watch by the cloak she wore.
The prisoner when put on the stand adj
mitted she knew who did pawn the watch.
She said she met a woman named rip
McComas the street, and the latter
asked her to go with her to a pawnshop,
get a ''piece of money" The witness had
on warm cloak and as the weather was
chilly, the McComas woman complained of
being cold. The witness placed her cloak
about the shoulders of the other. 1t was
claimed that this was the garment the
pawnbroker had in mind, and which he had
seen the accused afterWard wear.
