RAILWAY TAXATION.
The State Tax Board Hears Attorney
LyfOrd.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners
yesterday morning continued patiently
listening to the pleas of railroads through
their attorneys that they are assessed for
taxation unjustly high. One railroad yes
terday actually admitted to the tax board
it is making money. w. Fl. Lyford, of Chi
cago, represented the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois Railroad and it's Indiana branches
Mr.. Lyford asked especially for reduction
in the assessment of the main track of the
main line from Chicago to Terre Haute 1t
is now assessed at $4,000 mile, and he
wants it reduced to $4,000 a mile He COM
pared his road with others which he said
were his roads rivals and asked that he
be assessed on a basis with the others.
Governor Mount said that reports show
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois is a great
profit Garner, and railroads are not assessed
on the cost of construction, but on their
ability to earn profits. Mr.. Lyford adj
mitted his road is money maker. but de-
clared the money is made in Illinois and not
in Indiana He further pleaded that the Chi
cago & Indiana Coal road be assessed at
$4,000 a mile instead of $4,000 a mile. This
road, he said, is coal road only, and as
the demand for coal is steadily decreasing
so are the rates for hauling it.
This morning the board will hear NJ. L.
ingalls,, president of the Big Four, make
his annual talk on the question of taxation.

1t is expected that thousands of dollars
will be spent in this city for decorations
alone during the week of the knights OF
Pythias biennial encampment Aug. % to a.
Albert Gall is chairman of the committee
which is looking after this work and finds
that the merchants and property owners OF
the city are ready to cooperate in giving
the city gay holiday appearance during
that week. The committee will not attempt
to suggest any designs or style of decorat-
ing. That will be left to the taste of the
individual, but it is expected that all will
use the knights of Pythias colors-red, yell
low and blue-and the national colors. This
will give the decorations a uniformity, and
with the designing by individuals who pay
for them. Will doubtless give a pleasing
variety. Banners and bunting of the orders
colors and containing the K. of p embems
can be purchased ready for use. Chairman
Gall will present the question of decorations
to a meeting of the Business Mems Associa-
ton next week, when it is expected some
formal action regarding 1t will be taken.

A DAY At CAMP MOUNT
16IsT REGIMENT BEING RAPIDLY
UNIFORMED.
Tents VIII BE Distributed To-Day
Razor Incident in a CoIOred
Company.

The One-hundred -and-sixty-first Regiment
will to-day begin to look more like a regi-
ment of soldiers and less like an organza-
ton of civilians. Clothing is being steadily
issued to the privates, ard boxes contain
ing the equipment of the officers have be-
gun TO arrive. Tents for the regiment have
been turned over to the quartermaster and
they will be issued to-day If the plans
made yesterday are followed. AS fast as
the tents are issued they will be pitched
on the ground east of the race track. The
officers of the regiment favored the ground
which the batteries occupied during the first
days of Camp Mount. AS it is probable,
however, that lake will be made on that
ground the State Board of Agriculture in
structed the regimental commanders to
choose some other site for the camp ground
II. B. Rowland, superintendent of the fair
grounds, is unwilling that the regiment
should occupy position where it would be
necessary for the men to cross the track
frequently. When the brigade was en-
camped around the track constant crossing
and recrossing it by hundreds of men dur
ing the wet weather marred 1t deeply. 1t
has been put into good condition again and
II is the desire to keep IL so.
Yesterday was the usual camp day and
nothing disturbed it's serene monotony ex-
cept the flashing of a razor in the quarters
of Captain Porter's colored company with
painful results to Lee Max. Wayman White.
a private in the company, and man with
Wnom the police Of Indianapolis have some
acquaintance. has been running the guard
line frequently and having one of his COM
rades answer to his name at roll call Lee
Max inf
oolng. White burned for revenge. He quar-
reled with Max and followed by slashing
MIN with razor across the back and left
arm. Max was taken to the hosnifaI and
Wnlte to the guardhouse. AS soon as a
court martial is organized it is intended to
ery Wnlte. The colored officers say an ex-
ample must be made in his case They call

came Impudent.

Several days ago two young girls escaped

saloon on Southeastern avenue who an
swered the description, but who told such a
straight story that the police could not find
sufficient evidence on which to arrest them
The bartender was questioned, and he cor
rroborated their story. Later in the evening
sergeant Corrigan went to the place and
learned the girls were the ones wanted and
TOOK the bartender to task for having fur
vouchsafed the information that he would
tell no policeman anything. that it was their
business to find it out for themselves He

and yesterday in Police Court was fined
$50 and costs. His partner. Henry Lieder-
man, was arrested yesterday and will have

In examining the deeds for the park lands
submitted by various property owners Con-
troller Johnson has found that the acreage
is greater than was anticipated There is
an increase of eight acres in the Miller
land. The property owners. of course, are
demanding additional pay for the acreage
that has been found to have increased on
account of the change of the low-water
mark of White river since the government
surveys of many years ago. 1t may be that
surveys will be made to determine just how
much land there is in the various tracts.
improvements on the Kirkland park, pur-
chased for $1,000 Monday, will begin soon,
according to Park Engineer Power The old
house that stood on the ground is being re-
moved. Plans for the park were made be-
fore the old park board ceased to exist.
