BEFORE HIGH TRIBUNAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL TAYLOR WILL
ARGUE IMPORTANT CASES
The Injunction Against the Ohio Oil
Company to BE Argued-A Pat
ent Right Case.

Attorney General Taylor left for Wash
ington last night. where he will argue a
number of cases before the Supreme Court
of the United States. Three Of the cases
are those in which the State obtained a
permanent injunction against the Ohio Oil
Company, a branch Of the Standard Oil
Company, which violated the Indiana
statutes prohibiting anyone from digging a
gas or oil we'll and allowing the gas to es-
cape for a period Of more than two days.
The State obtained an Injunction against
the company in the Madison County Cir
cult Court and the company then appealed
to the Supreme Court, alleging that as it
was an oil company it was not compelled to
prevent the gas from escaping. The Su-
preme Court affirmed the decision Of the
court below, and the company then APP
pealed to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The other case to be argued is that of
Sterling r. Holt and others against the
Indiana Manufacturing Company. This
suit was brought in the Circuit Court of the
United States for the District of Indiana
on July 3. 1894. to enjoin the appellants from
collecting from the appellee certain taxes
for the years 1892, 1888 and 1894, assessed
against it and entered upon the duplicates
in the treasurer's office of Marion county,
Indiana. Afterwards, on Aug. 10, 1888. a
supplemental bill praying for injunction
was filed by the appellee against the APP
pellants to restrain them from collecting
certain taxes In IoJ5. The appellee Is a man.
ufacturing company, doing business in In
dianapolis. The appellant, Sterling R. Holt,
was treasurer and the rest Of the appellants
were the various officers of the State,
county and township, who had sought to
collect the taxes.
The injunction was prayed for on the
ground that the levy and assessment was
void and in co~ntravention of the constitu-
ton and laws of the United States, in that
1t was an attempt to levy a tax upon GER
tain patent rights of the company.
After being put at issue Judge Baker sus-
tanned the bill and granted a perpetual in
junction. An appeal was taken to the Cir
cult Court of Appeals, but 1t refused to
entertain jurisdiction. Thereupon an appeal
was prayed to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

SELECTING A SECRETARY.

The Committee VIII Take It's Time
and Secure n Good Man.
The selection of a secretary of the state
committee will probably, it is announced.
be deferred until the new committee is or
ganized. The work of the secretary in
wolves SO much of routine incidental to
executive labors that it is imperative, In
the minds of those cognizant Of the need,
to select a man not only expert in routine
work and of known executive ability, but
also Of ~tireless energy. The campaign work
in presidential years involves applied in
dustry with the utmost Indifference to hours
of rest. TIL labors and responsibilities of
the chairman are always so heavy and null
titudinous that the members of the COM
mittee who have expressed any opinion on
the subject desire to give him a man of
first-class ability and thorough cquain-
lance with the party men in the State, and
one who is able to meet callers at head
quarters acceptably. While 1t is not prob
able that the state committee will care to
elect a secretary to-day and thus burden
the committee treasury, which at this early
stage of the campaign is always an aching
void, the subject will no doubt receive
some attention.

THOUGHT HIM A BURGLAR
Because He Crawled Into His House
Through the Cellar Window.

A supposed burglar in the home Of DR..
Hamilton. corner of Meridian and Ohio
streets, last night at midnight. was the
cause of a lot of fun at the expense Of
Frank Hamilton. a brother of the doctor.
He had been out later than usual last
night, and when he returned home about
IL o'clock he found the doors locked. He
tried many ways of awakening the other
occupants of the house, but without sue
cess. He then thought of the cellar win
dow, and in through this he thrust his
form. The merchant policeman On that
district saw the man enter, and, supposing
he was intent on robbing the house, ran
10 the nearest telephone and called the po-
lice. After the arrival of the officers h
succeeded in arousing the family, and it
was only a short time until satisfactory ex-
plantations had been made.

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD
That Wears a Policeman Helmet
Just at Present.

President Roth, of the Board of Public
Safety, says hat there is no occasion for
the fremen and policemen to become un-
easy at this time over their positions, for
the changes scheduled to be made will not
be announced for a short time. probably
about the first of the year. Superintendent
Quigley stated last night that he was ig-
norant of the proposed changes in the po-
lice department. He said that the men are
all receiving notices to be examined, and it
may be that some of them will not come up
to the requirements of the board. Superin-
tendent Quigley said he believed that what
appointments are to be made to fill the
vacancies now existing in his department,
and also the appointments for the addi-
tional men, should the Board of Safety de-
eide to increase the force, will not be made
for two or three weeks.

tonight. The dramatization Is by Stanis-
l~austange and follows the main incidents OF
the book closely. The scenery by ID. Frank
Dodge. OF New York. received a large share
of the applause. Quo Nadis" is presented
in six acts and eight scenes, some of the
latter, particularly the banquet scene in
Nero's palace and the panorama of the
burning Of Rome, being especially realistic
in design and gorgeous In coloring. The
cast. a strong one, was in part as follows:
vinicinus, Joseph Haworth; Petronius. Ar
thur Forrest: Nero, Edmund Lyons; Uru-
sus, Elmer Grandin; Lygia, Roselle Knot:
Eunice, Maude Fealy. The play held the
interest OF an audience that packed the
house and numerous curtain recalls showed
its warm approval. The incidental music,
composed by Julian Edwards, furnished a
pleasing feature, the choral numbers and
the dances being in accord VIII the period
which "Quo Vadis" covers. The advance
sale of seats broke the record at Nc
Vicker's.

CHAIRMAN HERNLY'S PLANS.


Chairman Charles S. Hernly, Of the Re
publican state committee, will start in a
few days for a trip over the State to look
into the different precinct organizations.
He is a great believer in the theory that
the chief strength of any party lies in the
efficiency of it's precinct organizations. 1t
is generally understood that there will be
no opposition to Mr.. Hernly's reelection
as chairman Of the state committee, but a
lively canvass is going on over the Sc
lection of a secretary. This position is one
which Mr.. Hernly feels should not be un-
derrated, and 1t will be his aim to secure
a man for the place who will add strength
to the organization.
