AN OLD STORY REVIVED.


The parade of figures which the Sentinel
makes as an original discovery relates to
a matter which has been ventilated the
past dozen years, namely, the compensation
of the county auditor for making copies of
the plats of taxable property. 1t was
charge during all the years that Thomas
Taggart was county auditor. and the
charges during the Taggart regime were
much more for doing considerably less
work. Since the enactment Of the county
reform law the appropriations for payment
for the work of making the plats have
been approved by the County Council. In
fact. such appropriations could not have
been made by the County Commissioners,
since, by the provisions of that law. the
commissioners cannot appropriate dollar
of money. One of the Democrats who took
a prominent part in the preparation Of the
county reform law. Hon. James z. McCul-
Tough, was a member Of the first Council
in this county which made the last ap-
preparation for payment for making the
plats. With him were associated as hon.
orable and clear-headed men as ever lived
in Marion county. If these citizens had
not been satisfied that the appropriation
was proper one they would not have
voted it, If Mr.. Mccullough as a Demo-
cratic member had not believed the appro-
priation was proper one he would have
publicly protested against it's being made
That there might be a legislative body in
each county to make appropriations the
so-called county reform law was passed.
The story that Democratic experts fer
| reted out these expenditures and were
weeks in doing it is too ridiculous to de-
| ceive anyone who can make a valid claim
to ordinary intelligence. They are a mat
ter of public record. and anyone who had
access to the books for day should have
been able to find them.
1t may be added. that these plats are a
necessity. so there Is no ground for the
charge that they are not necessary. 1t
may be further added that not a few citi-
years because the making of plats was
given to the county auditor when it was a
job which might have been given to some
one not holding county office. To that COM
plant commissioners have replied that the
county auditor had better facilities for do
ing the work than anyone not in that
Office could command. In conclusion, it
may be said that if the Sentiners conten-
ton is correct long line of Democratic
auditors and County Commissioners have
been offenders, as the record will show
and has often been shown during cam
paigns. The Sentiners feverish anxiety to
make sensation has led it to throw away
| its discretion.

VERY SHARP CRITICISM
NEW YORK IMMIGRANT COMMITS
SIONER FILES HIS REPORT.
Says His Predecessor Blackmailed
wealthy Immigrants-Many Cases
of Improper Treatment.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30-The annual report
of the commissioner of immigration, Will
liam Williams, was filed to-day with the
secretary of the treasury. and in the docu-
ment the commissioner criticises without
reserve conditions which surrounded the
landing of immigrants at Ellis island dur
ing the ten months previous to the change
of administration there, due to Mr.. Will
liamss appointment. He says in the re-
port:
1.-The chief inspector was allowed to arbi-
trarily mark the word hold against the
name of any immigrant on the manifest.
this causing to be brought to him certain
picked people to be disposed of as he
thought best, instead of allowing them to
be inspected in the regular way. The fact
that most of those so marked were able
bodied people with very large amounts of
money, are points not without interest. The
power, first to detain these people without
reason, and, second, to direct them to
boarding houses, where they paid full value
for all they received, will be appreciated
when il is remembered that from May, 1901,
to May, 1902, 46S,54l immigrants exhibited
Sc 556 $50 as they passed through this sta
ton and probably had great deal more
that they did not exhibit.
1T appears tndt SOIne Ol1iCldlS were In the
habit of themselves passing on cases of
immigrants detained for special inquiry,
bringing the immigrants out of the deten-
ton, discharging them, or putting them
back, according to their whims The result
ing power of blackmail and of exerting 9TH
err improper influences involved in this
practice will be readily SEEN"
The commissioners says he could cite num-
erous other instances of abuse and lack of
system; that the immigrants were roughly
handled and addressed in rough Language
by government and railroad officials; that
the detention ''pens" were filthy, particu-
larly the dining room. where, the report
saws. the immigrants were fed without
knives, forks or spoons; that railroad and
other passes were used TO a demoralizing
effect; that "ship after ship" brought In

| tagious diseases. unknown I'm this country

rived within the year became destitute in

tiOns Warming Up the Campaign.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 3O.-The present
week is a very active one in Republican
politics throughout Delaware county. Re-
publican headquarters have been opened in
Muncie in charge of Major Wildman and
the old party workers are getting into line.
A township nominating convention will be
held each night for the remainder of the
week, when each township in Delaware
county will have nominated full tickets.
The dates are as follows Delaware town.

Saturday night Each one of these conven-
tons is made a township mass meeting or
rally, with several good speakers and
gee club. Those held thus far have been
largely attended and great enthusiasm and
interest in the campaign was evident.
A speakers bureau has been organized to
carry on a constant campaign In all parts

CODE BILL IS ADOPTED
OHIO SENATE PASSES THE MEASURE
DEVISED BY GOV. NASH.
Few Changes Made-LOng Struggle
Over the Beal Liquor Law-Street-
Railway Franchise Cured.

COLUMBUS. o.. Sept. 3o.-The Senate
spent the entire forenoon in discussing
various amendments to Section Of the
Governors code, which relates to the regu-
lation Of the liquor traffic by Council. The
saloon and anti-saloon forces were repre-
scented by lobbyists. The former were will
ing that an amendment should be incor-
porated. preserving the Beal law as
measure and protecting it against repeal
by implication or otherwise, while the anti
saloon people wanted the Beal law made
a part of the code and Council also given
the right to regulate and prohibit the liquor
traffic.
Amendments conforming to these oppo-
site views were offered and voted down.
and Senator Harding then offered an
amendment giving Council the power to
regulate the traffic, but not the power to
prohibit and protect the Beal law against
repeal by implication. After some dis
cussion this amendment was adopted with
only four negative votes. 1t is regarded
as compromise OF the differences between
the two contending forces. While it does
not give Council the right to prohibit,
neither does it incorporate the Beal law
into the code, but leaves IT to stand on
its own merits and subject to attack on
constitutional grounds.
In the House the code was the sole topic
of discussion. Several important amend
ments were offered, but none accepted. AT
the afternoon session of the House an
amendment curing the franchise OF the
Cincinnati Street-railway Company, which
was recently held to be invalid by the SUI
perior Court of Hamilton county, was
adopted by vote of 81 to %. This amend
ment was rejected by the code committee
and has been the subject of much con-
troversy. The House will tomorrow take
up the general question of franchises. The

GRAVE RoBBING AND THE LAW.

This community has seldom been more
deeply shocked or stirred by any occur
renee than it has been by the recent de-
wholesale grave robbing that has been
going on in suburban cemeteries. The dis
covery OF a series of cold-blooded murders
would hardly have caused more excitement.
Those who have not suffered directly by
the outrages are in full sympathy with
those who have, for mankind are so consti-
tuted that they regard the unauthorized
and mercenary interference with the bod
les of the dead a crime second only to
the taking of human life. The strong sem
timent on the subject has found express
sion in highly penal laws. The present
case is by far the most fragrant that has
ever been brought to light in this commun-
ity. No doubt there have been occasional
instances of grave robbery, some of which
have been discovered, while others have not
but the present case far surpasses all pre-
vious ones In extent of operations and in
shocking details. The law applies with
equal penalty, Imprisonment in the State
prison for not less than three nor more
than ten years. to all persons who assist in
opening a grave and removing a human
body therefrom without the consent of the
family. and to those who assist in conceal
removed from a grave or who buy a
corpse knowing it to have been removed
The two offenses last named, viz, buying
corpse or aiding to conceal it, are not
complete without guilty knowledge that the
body was unlawfully removed from the
an indictment for the removal of a corpse
from a grave need not allege it to be un-
lawfully done. and also that persons near
and ready to assist in the removal of a
corpse from grave may be guilty without
being actually present at such removal.
They have not decided the point as to how
much information is necessary to consti-
tute guilty knowledge on the part of a
person buying or assisting to conceal a
corpse, but ii would have to be something
more than suspicion. Such guilty knowl-
edge would have to be established by direct
or circumstantial evidence
There is a phase of the question which
the public is apt to overlook and which is
debarred from fair consideration in a time
OF excitement. That is the Importance OF
having an adequate supply OF human bodies
for dissection In colleges and for demon
stration of anatomy. In the interests OF
science this is a necessity in which the
interests of the living are OF really more
importance than those OF the dead, il the
latter expression is permissible. OF course
| the human body is of no account TO it's late
owner after life has departed from it, the
laws for Its protection representing
merely the sentiment OF the living. Blu,
| as the interests OF science require tina,
medical colleges should have bodies for the
purposes of instruction IL is to be re-
GREETED that some adequate and Lawful
means of providing them does not exist
There would be no objection to turning
| over TO medical colleges all bodies thai
are not identified. and perhaps something
further might be done to meet the legiti
