Another Call for Troops.

Washington, Aug. l2.-SeCretary
Root has under consideration the
question OF calling for volunteers.
While he has not decided definitely

1t is said that additional troops
may be needed to relieve those who
have served some time in the tropical

it may be deemed advisable to increase

Lawrence Is After the Wiz. Trust.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. l2.-The first
case under new law passed by the
legislature last winter was brought
IN Douglas county in connection with
the American Steel and Wire com
pany, the trTst concern which recent.
ly obtained possession Of the consoli-
dated barb wire plant Of this city.
When assessment was made OF the
property this spring after it was &C.
Quired by the trust, and after it had
shut down, it was greatly increased
over what had been paid in past years
when the plant was under local owner.
ship. To this the trust objected and
sent legal talent to put the case be-
fore the board OF county commission
ers, but without getting a reduction.
About two weeks ago the trust com
menced TO dismantle the mill here
and ship the machinery and manufac-
tured material TO other places. This
task was about completed, when the
county treasurer and the county at
tOrney determined to act under tie
new law.
This law declares that when an at
tempt is made TO remove property
from the county after it has been
assessed, an before the tax has been
pad, that the tax at once becomes
due, and cOllectablp, and authorizes
lhe treasurer to place a tax warrant
in the hands Of the sheriff for execu
tlOn at once. This was dOue in the
case Of the trust, for the Douglas
county taxes, amounting TO something
like $4,000, and the property was levied
upon, and notice served on the agent
OF the trust who has been running the
business Of the mill here, just as he
was about to leave the city for Chi.
cagO. The sheriff, under the new
law, will proceed to advertise the
property and sell it within the Dext
SIXTY days. Though large amount
Of stuff had been shipped out, there
remains the building of the trust and
a considerable amount of machinery,
% that there will be no trouble about
the county getting its money.
