RAILROAD ATTORNEYS
Make Their Pleas to the state Tax
Board.

John T. Dye. general solicitor of the Big
Four Railroad Company, John Moses, of
Cincinnati, tax agent. and John Wheatly,
of Cincinnati. assistant tax agent Of the
road, were before the Board of Tax Com
missioners yesterday morning asking for
a reduction OF the assessment on some
branches of the road. The representatives
of the road said that some of the branches
in Indiana do not pay and are an expense
to keep in operation. They referred in par
ticular to the Columbus, Hope & Green's
burg line and to the western division Of
the road in this State. The Big Four rep
ment of the Louisville and Jeffersonville
bridge was very unreasonable. The bridge
is assessed at $206.5 and the company says
that il has been a great expense to keep
il up
William Duff Haynie, general attorney
for the Elgin, Joliet q Eastern Railroad
Company, was also before the board. The
road has 30. 81 miles in this State. which
is assessed at $4,000 a mile. Mr. Haynie
signified to the board that the road was
perfectly satisfied with the present assess
ment and asked that ii be left just as it
is at present.
of Springfield. ILL.,, tax agent for the Wa
bash Railroad Company, appeared before
the board asking for reduction on the
road he represented. The total assessment
of this road is s., 005, 2S5, an average of S30 :
Isl mile. The board was in executive ses-
sion all the afternoon, occupied in the
assessment of telephone companies.

An affidavit against f. G. Hoover, a
dairyman at Broadway and Thirtieth
street. was filed by the Board OF Health
yesterday. charging him with using for
maldehyde in his milk. The attention of
the board was called to Hoover by DIR.
W. b. Robinson, who has two baby pa
tients to whom the dairyman furnished
milk. The doctor says he informed Hoover
that the milk should be the best, and the
dairyman assured him that the milk was
pure. The babies did not improve, and
DIR. Robinson, growing suspicious of
Hoover, asked the Board of Health to in
vestigate.
Early yesterday morning a health of
hcer waited for Hoover 10 come away from
his place and halted him. taking several
samples of milk. although Hoover pro-
tested. In former cases il has been the
excuse of dairymen accused of using for
maldehyde that the milk was bought some
where else, and a man was placed at the
entrance 10 Hoover's place to make sure
that such explanation could be made
In his case. The samples were taken TO
City Sanitarian Clark, who turned them
over to DIR. Gels for analysis, with the
result that the milk was found TO con-
tain formaldehyde. DIR. Clark says Hoover
will be vigorously prosecuted.

BANQUET AT THE GRAND.


The Building and Loan Association
League of Indiana entertained the visiting
members of the United States League at
the Grand Hotel last night with an in
formal banquet. About fifty guests repre-
senting almost every State in the Union
were present. The POSTMASTER of the even
ing was c. A Bookwalter. the retiring
president of the Indiana League. His re-
marks in introducing the speakers were
exceedingly happy. provoking continuous
laughter on the part of the guests. The
after dinner talks OF those called upon by
the POSTMASTER were entirely impromptu,
and appropriate to the occasion.
Those who responded were: Thomas J.
FitZmorris. of Omaha. Neb-. president of
the United States League: NJ. F. Cellarius,
of Cincinnati. secretary of the United
states League; ]. Warren Bailey. of Bos-
ton: Charles y. Thompson. OF Indiana polls
Bishop o Donaghue Of indianapolis; Judge
Seymour Dexter. OF Elmira. n. Y; George
-. Kostermeyer. of New Orleans. La: l..
Sanburne. of Galesburg, Ill, and Philip
Joyce. OF Buffalo, y. Y.
At the conclusion OF the banquet the
guests were notified by Toastmaster Book
walter that the State league expected the
visiting members of the United States
League TO be their guests tomorrow even
ing on trolley ride. Mr.. Bookwalter said
the ride would be taken rain or shine.

is for taxes collected from May T. the date
of the last settlement, to June 20 the
close of the School Boards fiscal year.
This difference will continue to increase
zach month until the next settlement Is
made in December.
LAS TO statements of fact, the books of
the secretary and auditor both have full
statements of the bonded debt as IL existed
On Jan. /. 1900 There were no bonds issued
UP to June 30 and none paid. and in conse-
quence there was nothing further 10 be
entered in that connection. As to the criti-
ciSm OF paying for repairing clocks out
of the fund FOR repairing buildings. the
clocks referred to are fixtures and their re-
pair is treated as the repair of stationary
desks, wall blackboards. etc. j presume
that if the court house clock were repaired
any one could understand why IL should
be charged as a repair to the building.
"As to the law, the only question is the
meaning of the following provision in Sec
ton IL: No appropriation should be made
for a longer period than TO the end OF
the current year, ending June 30. and at
the end of such year all the unexpended
balances of all appropriations. except from
the tuition fund. shall be covered into the
special school fund as an addition thereto.
The experts say that unexpended pal
ances of appropriations under the build
ings and grounds fund should not revert
as here provided They also say that not
only the unexpended balances of appro-
priations under the library fund and the
manual training fund should revert. but
which had never been appropriated at ALL
A. dignified but firm respect for the law
above quoted will prevent compliance with
these suggestions.
'As to the overdraft in the tuition fund
it is quite true that SIC. Do. 66 of special
fund money was used to pay teachers sal
aries in June. But the special fund is avail
able for any legitimate expense of the
schools 10 which the board sees fit to apply
IT, The reason this loan TO the tuition fund
was necessary was that the tuition money
due from the June apportionment is not
reported soon enough to be drawn against
in June. This year IL is reported on July
23 and amounts to ISL, 25l.30, which is avail
able for tuition only If the money had
been transferred as the experts propose we
should now have about $500 in the special
fund and sS1, 51.30 in the tuition fund.
which could not be used for any purpose
until next September, and then for teach
ers' salaries only. As the board has TO get
buildings and supplies ready during the
summer for next years work this would
have been even more 'mortifying' than
having an overdraft in the tuition fund
from June 30 to July %.

CAUSE OF PREBBLE's DEATH.
He Was Scuming with a Friend, Who
Fell ON Him.

John Prebble, twenty-three years of age,
living at 1909 Columbia avenue, died Sun
day afternoon, and the circumstances of
his death were such that DR.. Dunlavy,
the deputy coroner, was called upon to
investigate. Prebble was a waiter at the
Palm Garden on East Washington street,
and on Tuesday, July II. became engaged
in scuffie with other walters, after they
had persisted in having fun by tickling
him. One of the walters, William Chas-
teen, fell upon Prebble, as he slipped and
fell to the floor. Both got up, and ii was
seen that Prebble suffering, though
the injury was not thought to be serious.
Later he was sent home in the Dispensary
ambulance. There he became worse, and
DR.. Stewart was called. The post-mortem
examination made yesterday by DR.. Dun
lazy showed that death was due to peri
tonitis. which it was thought was caused
by the accidental injury. Prebble said,
when questioned by his physician, that
his injury was accidental.
Prebble was a hard working man, though
out of employment for some time. and ac-
cepted the place at the garden about two
weeks ago in order to provide necessares
for his family, which consisted of his wife
and two children.
