JOHNSON BEGINS HIS FIGHT.
Wants Railroad Property in Ohio As
sessed Higher.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 5.-Tom L,
Johnson today began his fight before the
state board of equalization of railway prop
erty for higher valuation of railroad prop
erty for taxation.
The board consists of State Auditor w. D.
Guilbert, State Treasurer /. B. Cameron
state Railway Commissioner J. c. Morris
and Attorney General j. M Sheets.
Mayor Johnson was present in person.
but Prof e. w. Bemis, who was employed
to prepare the case, made the principal
address. He compared Indiana and Michi-
gan railway valuations with those Of Ohio,
ana SAID that the Nickel Plate road, which
was appraised at $34 ,00o per mile in In
diana, was taxed in Ohio at only $11, 600
per mile, on the average the trunk lines
were assessed in Ohio at $4,000 per mile
and In other states at $500. He gave
hgures tending to show that railway prop
erty In Ohio Is taxed at 2f ger cent of it's
actual value. while other property is taxed
at 6o per cent The board takes the view
that 1t has no power to change the total ag-
gregate OF the valuation of railway prop
erty as returned to it, and so 1t is not like
ly that any additions will be made. The
argument was generally looked upon as the
rea! opening of the democratic campaign
and the auditors office. where the board
met, was crowded with newspaper and rail-
road men.

LAWRENCE WILL HAVE TO WAIT.
Sites for Public Building Held at
Too High Price.

Too High n Price.
Congress about two years ago appropri-
ated money for a public building at Law
renee Mass, and because of the high prices
prevailing in that city for real estate made
a definite appropriation of $4,000 for the
purchase of site The amount appropri-
ated for the building was $4,000 Congress
seldom specifically appropriates for land
simply making a lump appropriation and
leaving to the treasury officials the selec-
ton of site at a reasonable proportion Of
the total appropriation. The usual allow
ance for land is about one-fifth of the total
appropriation, and there seldom any
trouble about lots, as the people of small
cities are always glad to have public build
ings and bestir themselves to aid the gov
ernment In securing land at reasonable
figures. 1t Is stated that Lawrence is in a
fair way not to get building at all, no
suitable offers have been made to the treas
ury Of building sites. The most available
site is held at $4,000, and only one is Of
fered at $4,000 This one is long way
from the business part of the city, and is
not large enough.
In case of this kind the practice of the
supervising architects office is to inform
the people of the city that no steps can be
taken regarding their public building until
suitable sites are offered at figures within
reach of the government In case this offer
is never made the city town will go with
out public building unless Congress sees
ht to take the matter in hand and provide
an increased allowance for a building Site
This Is hardly probable, 1t Is said, inasmuch
as the amount appropriated for a site for
Lawrence is considerably In excess of that
paid In cities of similar size Lawrence
people have been told that nothing can be
done until they themselves act

WILL BE INVESTIGATED
The Release of the Two Cinnamon Re-
Gently at NOgales.

The Department of Justice is awaiting
with considerable interest a report from
its special attorney at Nogales, Ariz., on
the dismissal a few days ago Of two China
men by the United States commissioner at
that point. The Cinnamon were arrested
In connection with the Illegal admission Of
Cinnamon at that point and the govern
ment expected to prove much Of it's case
by these Cinnamon or through them. The
secret service recently received information
that the commissioner of the United States
had decided that the Cinnamon were tlle-
gally In this country, but that it was not
within his jurisdiction to take action If
such q decision was rendered 1t is regarded
at the department as farcical and an in
vestigation will undoubtedly be made of
the reasons for this dismissal Nothing
will be done until a report is received from

"a contest OF local clubs. Connersville,

The failure of the clubs from the cities
mentioned 10 attend caused discussion as
to the advisability of continuing the State
Association. and il is possible that the In
dianapOlis clubs, which have been members
OF the assoCia ton, may unite with other
Indianapolis whist organizations in a
strong city league. well-known whist

use in having a State league when the clubs

LATEST COLLEGE PRANK.
A sheep Turned Loose in the Colds
DOrmitOry.

OLIVET, Mich, Oct. 1s.-Students at Oil
vet College hoisted a sheep TO the third
floor of the goods dormitory at midnight
Thursday and turned it loose in the corri-
dor with a string of bells and old cans
around its neck. The frightened animal
raced up and down the corridor, making a
racket that awoke the co-eds, who came
rushing from their rooms in their night
robes and frightened nearly out of their
wits. In seeking TO escape the sheep tum-
bled down two flights of stairs. the rafting
of the cans sounding not unlike stamp
mill working overtime. The frightened
girls chased pell nell down stairs, Shrek
ing and screaming, their cries adding to the
terrific din.
The dean of the women's department and
the matron of Shepherd Hall rushed from
their rooms and intercepted the bleating
animal in the lower corridor. They seized II
around the neck and dragged it struggling
toward the door, while some of the co-eds
who had recovered from their fright made
flank movement and assisted the dis
turber in making its escape to the campus,
where it scampered away in the darkness.
Then the co-eds were more composed and
soon returned to their slumbers. There is
no clew to the perpetrators of the joke, but
there may be an investigation.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 1s.-Two big
holes were made in the varsity lineup
yesterday by the absence OF Captain Forth
and Left End Doran. Fortin's leg is badly
swollen as the result of a hard kick re-
ceived in the Northwestern game, and he
will be out OF the running for at least two
weeks. He has had considerable trouble
of this kind. and says he will not go into
the game until his leg is thoroughly well.
He will not play against Rush NEEDLES
tomorrow, and may not be able TO get
into trim in time for the Beloit game the
Saturday following. Doran. the other alb
sentee. is completely run down and nearly
twenty pounds under weight. He has quit
training altogether, but intends to enter for
the Indiana and Purdue game. In addition
to these two Kirby is on the hospital list
with a bad knee and may not go into the
Rush Medic game. and Hannah is still
nursing a weak ankle.
These misfortunes, however, have but
served TO bring out more forcibly than ever
the fact that Notre Dame has the strongest
second team in the football history of the
Institution For each of the positions
left vacant there are two candidates, but
little inferior to the regulars, scrapping
hard for a chance to earn a monogram.
Cullinan and O'Brien are evenly matched
for the captains position at right tackle
Shaughnessy and MCGOWAN can, either OF
them. fill Doran's place creditably, and
Wood and O'Malley are both fit to figure
as varsity half backs. In the practice yes
terday afternoon the two candidates for
each OF these three positions were pitted
against each other, with the result mat
the practice was very like championship
struggle.

Horst Talks of the Championship.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SOUTH BEND. Ind, Oct. 1S.-Rudolph II.
Horst. the football expert. has this to say
of the standing of Indiana colleges relative
to the Western football championship:
What a season may bring forth in foot
ball circles was demonstrated Saturday,
the results of the several games giving the
follower of the Western college gridiron a
chance to draw line Of comparison with
reasonable accuracy as to the elevens which
are clamOring for the Western champion
ship: and Of the teams which appeared
in the race the honors last week only
three, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota,
can now be counted in the contest of the
will fight to the end with good prospects
of being placed. The teams to follow WIS
consin, Michigan and Minnesota are Pur-
due, Chicago, Northwestern and NOtre
Dame. Indiana Beloit and Nebraska are
considered out of the running at present.
Although Indiana has not an eleven to
figure in the struggle for the much-desired
championship. the fact that she has two
teams, Purdue and Notre Dame, to head
the second division, is very gratifying to
football men i'm the State Last year In
diana was very far in the rear when it
was looked to in a matter of football, but
this year the prospects are so bright that
both Notre Dame and Purdue are regarded
as dangerous rivals To any of the big elev-
ems True, neither team won i'm Saturdays
contests. but the fact remains that they
put up a game of football far ahead of
what the majority of Western critics ex-
pected TO see. In making a comparison of
Indiana football teams this week. Purdue
on Saturdays showing, must be honored
with the tOpmost position, her tie game
with Chicago showing that she deserves
that place. NOtre Dame, after playing the
heavy Northwestern team To a standstill
despite the sea of mud in which the game
was played. is easily the choice for second
place. Indiana comes third, her crushing
defeat by Michigan making the Blooming
ton team appear rather weak

fear expressed that he might be some

and made record gol1ng an impossibility,
yet Travis revealed clearly that had the
conditions been suitable he would have
been found ready. His opponent in the
semi-finals was John VI. Ward, Of the Fox
Hills Golf Club and formerly famous in
professional baseball. They halved their
holes. then Ward by lucky drive, stole
the fourth hole OF 145 yards in TO T. This
aroused Travis, and To the end he played
