New York, Nov. 21.-Jack Everhardt,

actor.

main cause of the damage done to the

STORES OPEN ON SUNDAY.
Downtown Retailers Complain of
the Growing Custom.

Gradually the number of downtown retail
stores which keep open Sunday morning,
and until as late as / o'clock in the after
noon, is increasing. till the condition has
been reached where several of the larger
establishments are considering the matter
of doing business on that day in order to
hold their trade. The Merchants Associa-
ton was asked to present the matter to
Mayor Taggart and beg him to enforce the
law. Said one of the prominent retailers
on Washington street. yesterday, in speak
ing of the condition:
For year or so my partner has pointed
out to me that competitors were getting
some of our trade by keeping open their

days in the week if l could make a fair
profit; that / would not be so grasping as
to go after money on the seventh daV
which the employees as we'll as myself need

a pass that we must keep open Sunday
for elf-protection unless the mayor en-

WAR TAX ON PARKS.
Fairview and Broad Ripple Will
Come Under This Ruling.

Major Glover. of the United States revenue
office, yesterday received circular from the
commissioner of internal revenue at Wash
ington notifying him of several new de-
cisions recently handed down relating to the
war tax. One of them is that where a
street-railway company operates a park or
other place of amusement for the purpose
of adding to it's revenue it must pay a regu-
lar amusement license. This, in the opinion
of the local officials, applies to Fairview and
Broad Ripple Parks and the street-railway
companies controlling them. The fact that
the entertainment is furnished free, accord
ing to the circulars, does not relieve the
company from the liability of the tax. The
other decisions are as follows
when lease is transferred to a new
lessee it is subject to taxation for the un-
expired term of the lease and should be
stamped accordingly.
"A transfer of bank or building and loan
stock from guardian to ward is subject to
taxation and is such change of ownership
as requires the imposition of tax.
when fire or life insurance policy Is
assigned or transferred. it is taxed in pro-
portion to the unearned premium.
IAN association which has place of bust
ness where promissory notes are received
for discount or sale must pay a special tax
of $50 as a banker"

NOT ENOUGH TO CONVICT.
Evidence of Police Against Alexander
for Wilharm Murder.

As certain as the detectives are that
Charles Alexander is the murderer of
Christian Wilharm. Chief Colbert said last
night that he did not think there was enough
evidence against the negro to convict him.
There were no developments in the case
yesterday. and though Alexander was in the
sweat box for two hours, he kept his
sullen demeanor and said nothing to COM
promise himself. Alexander is one of the
toughest propositions that the detectives
have tried TO solve for years. During the
sweating process yesterday he said he had
been struck by car and since that time
he had lapseS of memory. He showed a
deep scar across the top of his head. Chief
Colbert Immediately asked Alexander If il
could not have been possible for him to have
entered the Wilharm house during one of
his nightly prowlings, have shot the young
man and have forgotten about II.
AlexanderS iron nerve did not forsake him
and he said as firmly as his suffering
tongue would allow:
Nn-no. ] d-didn't shoot th-that man. I
n-never sh-shot him"
This was about the only expression which
Alexander gave that was more than grunt.
The examination was very unsatisfactory
The detectives feel that II is a good thing
for burglary He has confessed that he
robbed houses. and the grand jury will in
dict him for burglary unless the detectives
are able to place the charge OF murder
against him before the meeting OF the grand
jury. More time will be gained by Alex
ender's trial for burglary and his subse-
Quent confinement for that crime.

THE t. H. & l.. FUNDS.
Gen. HarrisOn's Petition for an Order
Regarding Them.

General Benjamin Harrison yesterday
added a slight impetus to the slow process
of winding up the affairs of the Vandalia
Railroad by filing petition in the Federal
Court, trustee for unknown clients, ask
ing that the court make an order regard
ing the funds of the Terre Haute & Logans-
port Railroad, now in the hands of the re-
ceiver of the Vandalia system.
The petition recites the fact that among
those interested in the decree of foreclosure
proceedings recently instituted in the case of
the Terre Haute & Logansport Railroad,
there is a doubt as to whether, under the
terms of that decree. the fund in the hands
of the receiver derived from the operation
of the Terre Haute & Logansport property
will not go to the purchaser at the fore
closure sale. In his judgment such is not
the proper construction of the decree, nor
would such construction be in accord with
the law or the intent of the parties.
The petitioner asks the court to make an
order that no part of said fund shall be
offered or included in said sale. nut that
the fund, with any balance remaining after
paying all allowances, snan be subject to
the disposition of the court for the payment
or any deficiency in the proceeds of the sale
to pay the mortgage debt, or if there is no
such deficiency, then for such parties as in
equity may be emitted thereto.
