WINGATE'S DISTRICT MEETINGS
Conferences to He Had with the
County Assessors.

John c.. Wingate. state tax commissioner,
was at the Denison last night. He has been
travelling through the northern part of the
State, comforting with the tax officers in
relation TO their work. Mr.. Wingate has
fixed the dates for his district meetings
this spring, and expects that they will be
well attended by COUNT assessors.
These dates are as follows: Muncie. Tues

May 1; Plymouth. Thursday. May 2: Lo-
gansport, Friday, May 3; Charlottesville,

4; indianapolis. Wednesday, May S.
Mr.. Wingate says these meetings held in
the different districts of the State are
productive of good results. 1t is the in
tention TO hold them i'm all the congressional
districts. Mr.. Wingate only has charge of
the north half of the State. The county
assessors attend these meetings. and one Of
the state tax commissioners is always pres
ont. The work i'm the different counties Is
gone over and perpleXing questions are dis
cussed. In talking of the work of the tax
officers last night Mr.. Wingate said 1t was
a significant and curious fact that men are
found who in ordinary affairs are scrupu-
lousy honest and whose word is considered
az good as a bond, but will, when II comes
20 listing their own property, fail TO APP
preciate the gravity of the oath they take.

tering American ports. while Dutch and

tact that tonnage dues are Imposed on
British shipping entering American ports
because the British levy a corresponding

the collection OF tonnage dues on vessels

POWERS OF TOWN CLERKS.
Have No Authority To Determine
Insanity Cases.

Attorney General Taylor gave a written
opinion yesterday to DR.. George +. Eden
harter. superintendent of the Central Hos
pital for the Insane, in response to DR..
Edenharter's question:
Have clerks of incorporated towns the
power and authority 10 hear insanity pro-
ceedings and commit persons to the Insane
Hospital, and does the filing of an af-
hdavit. as required by Section 32i0. Burns
r 6. 1894. before a tow clerk. meet with
the requirements of said section"
The opinion concludes as follows:
"By the provisions OF the act of 1901 con-
corning town omcers acts of 1901, y. Sd,
II was provided that the clerk of an incor-
porated town shall possess all of the DOW
ers of a justice of the peace as defined

mediately affects the liberty OF the person
charged. Statutes Of this character must

as defined by law must be strictly followed.
Constituting the two acts OF the Legislature
of 1901 together. as we must. IL seems clear
to me that II was the intention OF the Leg
islature that. while town clerks should
have the general jurisdiction OF a justice
of the peace. yet in insanity proceedings,
which are neither civil nor criminal In a
technical sense. the jurisdiction to hear
and determine the same should be and re-
main in the justice of the peace eXclus-

this point:

to the late General Harrison. as follows:
THE demise OF Gen. benjamin Harrison,
ex-President of the United States. on
March Is at his late residence in Indianap-
oils, Ind, deserves more than a mere pass
ing notice at the hands of his comrades,
who at all times enjoyed his steadfast sup
port and unfiinching devotion. He was a
consistent, fearless and unselfsh champion
of the rights Of the defenders of our coun-
try. His great ability and the exalted sta
ton TO which he was called by his fellow
citizens made his loyalty TO his comrades
all the more valuable and conspicuous. IT
was during his incumbency of the presi-
dency that the greatest measure of relief
for the needy and the dependent OF our
comrades and for the poor widows of the
deceased comrades, the act of June 2. 1890.
was enacted into law. His great influence
as President was welded by him in a spirit
which indicated that he was ~scrupulously
mindful of his obligations as a comrade
as we'll as an official. and that he fully
appreciated that the obligation to faithfully
serve his comrades increased with the OPP
~portunity and power TO serve them. 10 us
belongs the duty of acknowledging our
lasting indebtedness TO this great soldier
and statesman, and the G.. A. r. should
not hesitate to hand down to posterity In
some enduring shape our appreciation of
him as a comrade.'
