SOME PULLING CASES
THE PROBATE DEPARTMENT Is
CALLED UPON TO CONSIDER.
A supply of Old Directories on Hand
Hall Acted as His Own AttOr-
ney Court Cases.

Occasionally in the probate department
names come up in cases that are a puzzle
to Judge Walker and the clerks, Mr.. Hugg
and Miss Clinton. and the location of the
persons whose names so Unexpectedly ap-
pear is even more mystifying. A supply Of
directories dating back to almost the be-
ginning of litigation in the county is al
ways available and in these emergencies
they are brought into good play.
Yesterday Herman Riemenschneider was
wanted. but no such name could be found
in the directory. The older ones. were
brought out and he was finally located on
North New Jersey street Then there was
question as to whether he is living. or
dead, whether he has changed his resi-
dence, moved out of town is still living
at the same number; or If he lives in In
dianapolis, why does not the directory say
so? The three held a consultation as TO
what should be done I'm the case. Judge
Walker thought the location was close
enough to his home for him to be ac-
quainted with person by that name Mr..
Hugg said he knew the man and had seen
him on the streets long after the directory
had been printed that contained his name.
Miss Clinton ventured that the man Mr..
Hugg saw might not be the right Mr..
Riemenschnieder.
This gave a new phase TO the question
and the matter grew darker. Finally Mr.
Hugs face frightened up and he said he
was certain of his identification, as the
Mr.. Riemenschnieder in litigation was the
same Mr.. Riemenschnieder in whose apple
trees he had had experience when boy
and that the Mr.. Riemenschnieder of his
boyhood days was the identical Mr..
Riemenschnieder he had seen after the

FEE AND SALARY REPORT
ANNUAL AVERAGE TOTAL PAYMENT
TO FIVE COUNTY OFFICES.
The Table Prepared by Secretary Will
kins, of the Fee and Salary
Commission.

Secretary Wilkins. of the fee and salary
commission, said yesterday:
Under the law OF 1895 the salaries of
the county clerks. recorders and sheriffs
are contingent upon the fees collected by
them. in addition the clerks and sheriffs
are allowed per diem for attending court.
concerning which there has been great con-
tention as to whether it is extra compen-
sation or to be accounted for as fees col
lected. In many of the counties the clerks
and sheriffs retain this per diem extra
compensation. In others they pay it into
the treasury as fees collected and draw
II back in salary. Thus in one county where
the salary may be $500 for the clerk, if
he retains his per diem as extra compensa-
ton he receives that much extra, but If
he pays IL into the treasury and draws
II back as salary he receives only the
salary allowed by law. the proportion of
per diem thus being used TO make up the
difference between fees collected ard the
amount he is allowed By law. There is fur
Their paio county officers in many of the
counties allowances for extra work which

BARRETT LAW INVALID
AS APPLIED TO THE INDIANAPOLIS
CITY CHARTER.
An Opinion Handed Down by the
Three Superior Court Judges
Effect on improvements.

The Barrett law. as applied to the city
charter, was held invalid in a decision Of
the three Superior Court judges. that was
handed down yesterday by Judge Carter.
The action overrules demurrer in the
suit of Amos c. Heltzel against the city of
indianapolis to prevent the improvement
of Highland place. which was brought to
test the constitutionality of the city char
ter. The ruling reads
1--WE are of opinion that the provisions of
the city charter in relation TO assessments
for local improvements are not constitu-
tional because the law requires the cost of
such Improvements to be assessed upon the
abutting property by fixed rule. without
regard TO the special benefits accruing
thereto and that no provision is made in
the law giving to the property owner a
hearing on the question of benefits.
I'm thus holding We do not mean to be
understood as passing on the question of
validity of liens bonds in cases where
the property has waived illegalities and ex-
ercised the right TO pay in installments.
Nor is this opinion to be considered as in
dicating the remedy, If any, for improve
ments heretofore made, but we only note
that 1t is very clearly indicated in the Nor
wood-Baker case that IL is in the power of
the Legislature, by an enabling act, TO au-
thorize the city authorities to make legal
and valid assessments for local improve
ments previously made under void acts.
The city contended that the Legislature
had provided that the property owner could
have hearing and contest the assessment,
as well as a suit 10 foreclose an improve
ment lien. The court held that the mean
ing of the Legislature was in regard TO the
manner of assessment. Continuing, the
opinion says:
'It is a rule of construction that IL there
be two absolutely inconsistent provisions
in the same law the one negatives the
other, and neither has any validity. So, IL
we construe the amendment of 1895 as au-
thorizing the court to consider the ques-
ton Of benefits, ii is, as we have already
seen, absolutely at variance with the pro-
vision requiring the court to give judgment
for the full amount of the assessment, and
these two inconsistent provisions negative
and destroy each other
This is holding the assessment invalid
because IL was made in accordance with
the law; 1T is an illega, act legally DONE
which Is an absurdity. We therefore hold
that the provision granting the property
owner the right to contest the amount of
his assessment means that he may contest
the question as to whether ii has been made
in the manner and under the rules pre-
scribed by law"
The decision will stop all improvements
| i'm this city, except where there is a unani-
nous waiver of contest, until the Legisla-
ture can remedy the law.

Nellie Hall. fourteen years Old Her hus-

a business college teacher. He acted as his

statements that they bordered argu-
ment and he gradually worked his way
from the stand around in front of the
judge. He asserted that he married the girl
to save her from the tyranny of her moth
er. The mother admitted that she con-
scented to the marriage. but that there was
an agreement that the girl should not
really become his wife until she was
eighteen years old Hall said If a divorce
was not granted and she was permitted to
reach an age where she is competent TO de-
eide he will get a divorce If she does not
want him.

furniture be sent to her, as she did not in

household goods and appropriated the
money TO her own use. Judge Allen has
the case under Amusement.
