VALUE OF A TAX TITLE
A RULING OF IMPORTANCE MADE BY
JUDGE, LEATHERs.
Tax Title Invalid If the State Held
Claim as Security for n Loan
Other Court Gases.

Judge feathers. of the Superior Court.
has made a ruling in a suit 10 quiet title
that holds invalid any tax title secured
through the sale of property for the nom
payment OF taxes when the State held 4
claim upon the property as security for
loans borrowed from the university or
permanent endowment fund The decision
was in the suit of Brewer & Love Broth
ers against Z. /. Fisher. trustee, the
Marion Bond Company and Theodore Il.
Brown.
In 1898 Frank Landers borrowed 5000 of
the auditor of state from the permanent
endowment fund. Mortgage was given on
piece of property TO secure the loan
Under the provisions of the law the auditor
and treasurer of state may sell the prop
erty for the nonpayment of the loan with
out foreclosure proceedings in the courts
In 1895 the property was advertised for
sale, but was not sold until 1885, 1t was
bid in by Brewer & Love Brothers.
Prior to the sale of the property by the
auditor and treasurer of state delinquent
taxes accrued against the property. and
in 1897 it was sold by the county auditor
and treasurer to a man named thinner
man, who afterward sold il to E. L. Fisher,
as trustee for other persons A sewer has
been constructed near the property, and
lien secured against it by the contractor,
who turned the claim over TO the Marion
Bond Company as trustee. Browns claim
is on a lien secured for street sprinkling
The title to the property was then con-
tested and the plaintiffs brought suit TO
have the title quieted. The law governing
the university fund specifies that When
property is sold in foreclosure proceedings
the purchaser is given a clear title to the
property free of ali claims and mcum-
brances contracted after the loan from the
university fund was made up TO the time
the property is sold. The deed is even
given priority over a tax title deed. The
law governing the permanent endowment
fund loans is cited as the same as that gov
erning the university funds, and upon TINS
construction the plaintiffs base their claim.
The defense contended that the perma-
nent endowment fund was not governed
the same as the university fund and there
fore had rightful claim upon the prop
erty. In ruling, Judge feathers held for
the plaintiffs deciding that the endowment
fund was governed by the same law as the
university fund, as the statutes set out.
While the ruling is largely OF a technical
nature, 1t is of much importance to pur-
chasers of property sold for delinquent
taxes, when the State has claim on the
strength of a loan from the university or
permanent endowment funds. According
to the ruling, no street improvement as
sessment lien for public Improvement, pri-
vate lien or even claim for delinquent taxes
can be enforced against the property so
long as the membranes We're incurred
within the limit of the State loan With
property the purchaser at the State fore
closure proceedings is given clear title
and none of the claims can be collected. 1t
is exempt from all claims.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
An article in Mondays Journal said that
the day of the woman physician in In-
dianapolis had just come. This is not accu-
rate. Woman years ago firmly established
herself i'm the medical profession i'm this
city. She II no longer wondered about, nor
oenied anything her brothers In the pro-
question was asked. Are women COM
petent as TO temperament and constitution
as young men 10 enter upon the study of
AS TO temperament, yes; as 10 constitu-
ton. no. Woman IS naturally weaker than
man rule. and for this reason there
must always be certain parts of the broad
field OF medicine and surgery from which
she Is barred. What are the certain parts
from which she is barred? We have
woman physicians as gynaecologists, as
specialists In nose and throat diseases, I'm
nervous diseases, surgeons in all
branches, obstetricians: as general prac-
tftioners. What field does she not invade?
Why should her constitution bar her?
woman who takes up medicine must have
good health. or she finds no place for her;
just so with man with bad health. The
practice OF medicine is question OF good.

sense, and not mere brute strength
Again, TO coeducation: That a good
earnest woman as student in a medical
college Will not detract from IT is a fore
gone conclusion. She may have the same
influence there that she has at home, or
any place else. But. that our medical col
leges are on so low a moral plane that il

stefan quoted by the reporter did not at

OF this article did. and the professors were

sary TO repeatedly tell US that our pres

known that they do not. as a rule hold

Maude Miller election morn
AS proud kid with new tin horn.
For she was to cast vote. and she
Was filed with angelic ecstasy!
She felt that mon We're common clay
As She on that glorious woman's day!
That she was the equal before the law
OF any old hemale she saw,
She could almost feel the dress of the hims
In tubular form on her neither lbs,
She dressed herself with unusual care
From her dainty feet to her fluffy hair
In a party carriage she would not ride:
She'd walk to the polls in her mannish pride.
she started forth with a dashing swing,
As gay as jayhird on the wing.
A milliner's window caught her eve
And you know she could never pass that by,
stepped into the waiting spiders net
To try hat; it was early yet.
she spent an hour mid the fairy show.
Then happened TO think she would better go.
Some gowns in window lay in wait
For girls who would bite at such bait.
she glued her nose to the polished pane
And studied the styles again and again.
she wondered how she would look II she
Were dressed in such dreams of finery,
She entered the store and for half the day
Inspected the goods in crazy way!
As the day waning she stood before
The flashing gems in jewelry store;
Passed on 10 window filled with hose.
And nighties and other sacred clothes,
Went into an ice cream Joint TO get
A plate two Of the frozen wet.
she met friend on the street and they
snapped talk till an hour had passed away.
Then again she FASTENED in graceful flight
To make a shy at her sacred right.
But alas, as you no doubt have supposed
She found that the mean old polls had closed!
They might have known the condemned old set
or men. that she hadn't voted yet.
They did IL on purpose, IL wasn't fair.
They were perfectly horrid old things. So there's

1t isn't well to remain a summer girl

One season, indeed, will suffice to re-

1t is, of course, the opinion Of most
women that 'men are SO much alike"
At summer resorts they are appall-

Were you ever really surprised by
any type of man h a doomed up at a

contrary, have described him before
you left home?

of my clothes I plunged In head FIRST
and wan for my life. The yacht, held
by it's anchor, continued to describe
circles In record-breaking time till its
fire went out.
Most Of my fishing is done In the
Hudson River from my yacht. I have
lived and flshed here for several years.
It was last summer, just about a year
ago, while angling here, that I lost my
watch overheard and with a ten dollar
gold piece. I gave them up for lost, as
any one well might. The water here
abouts Is very deep and the river bot
tom constantly scoured by the tides.
Now, singularly enough, it was while
fishing at almost the same spot the
other day just q year later that I re-
covered these valuables. I caught a
fish, which on examining I noticed had
a curious p~roturbance in its stomach,
