The controversy between the Marion
county officials and the State officials may
be settled as result of a decision by the
Supreme Court that the employment OF tax
ferrets by the Parke County Commissioners
was legal. The ferrets were employed to
find concealed or omitted property and were
to receive half of such taxes. Some time
ago the State auditor, on an opinion by
the attorney general, contested the pay
ment of the States share OF the % per
cent commission Lesley and Ayres are al

promised by allowing Auditor Smith to de-
duct ITS share of the commission In making

If the Parke county case went against the
county AS the Supreme Court says the
employment of the ferrets was legal the
deduction made by Marion county officials
against the State will stand.

Looted n Store.

Fred Hayden, diminutive colored boy.

noon in Juvenile Court and told pitiful
story of being victim of circumstances.
His story was humorous to those in the
courtroom, except the judge, who ordered
the boy whipped. Hayden said that, in
company with John and Andrew Holt, he
went into store on Indiana avenue to buy
pickle. He said the Holt boys gave him
penny to purchase the pickle, and while he
and the grocery clerk went TO the rear or
the store the Holt boys helped themselves
to a large portion of the stock in the front
of the store. The Holt boys have not been

COUNTY PRosECUTORs' BILL.


The prosecuting attorneys of Indiana will
not be altogether satisfied with the DISPOSE
ton made of the bill by the House COM
mittee on fees and salaries. The bill pro-
vides that the salaries of the prosecutors
shall be increased to $1,000 double the
amount they receive at present. The COM
mittee. at its session yesterday afternoon,
decided to amend the bill by providing that
prosecutors OF circuits composed of two
counties or more shall receive 81 600, the
desired increase, and that those in single
county circuits where the county does not
have city of at least $1,000 population
shall receive $3.50. In all circuits contain
ing a city of over $4,000 there shall be no
increase, the committee believing that the
Office OF prosecutor In such circuits is al
ready sufficiently lucrative.
or course the committees action does
not determine the disposition the House
will make of the bill. and it is possible
that the bill may not pass even i'm its
amended form, as several members have
expressed themselves as opposed to sal
ary-increasing measures of all kinds. The
prosecutors have organized to fight for their
DILL, and they have had a small lobby
working ever since the Legislature opened
John Ruckelshaus. the prosecutor of Mari
on county, has been working quietly for the
bill. but since the committees recommends
lions will cut him out of any increase he
may abandon the fight.
The committee also took up the bill in
which the sheriffs of the State are so
deeply interested and for which they, too,
have organized to lobby. This bill provides
that In cases where sheriff is unable
or fails to collect fees sufficient to pay his
salary the county shall pay the difference
out OF the general fund. The bill will be
recommended for passage but with a
technical amendment such that Ii will be
necessary for the sheriffs to show that they
have made an effort to collect the fees
before they are given the allowance. The
amendment makes the county commission
ers the judges as to whether the fees in
question are collectible and whether the
sherins have made the necessary effort to
collect them. Ii is understood that the
legislative committee of the sheriffs does
not object to these amendments, as the Of
ficials are willing to make every reasona-
BILE effort to collect the fees and only insist
that they should not be the losers when
the fees are not collectible.

FIGHTS WITH LADRONES.

Legislative SideIights.

AS diplomat Lieutenant Governor Gill
bert is recognized as a postmaster. Few
are the predicaments out of which he cam
not bring himself with credit and with
credit to all concerned. His genius was
tested severely yesterday morning CharIek
l.. Jewett, Of New Albany, was a visitor in
the Senate chamber and Senator Fortune,
of Jeffersonville. sent up a motion that
Mr.. Jewett be invited to address the body.
The motion put in the customary
form and, usual, the vote was con-
sidered a mere formality to which nobody
paid much attention. When the question
was put there was chorus of ayes" and
suddenly a thunderous "Nov' The NO
came from Senator w. III. Johnston, of
Charlottesville. He had left his seat and
had gone TO the back of the chamber. AS
he delivered himself of the astonishing
negative he. slipped through the door and
was not seen again.
The Lieutenant Governor blushed and
Mr.. Jewetts face paled a little. There
was just a seconds silence which Mr.. Gil
bert broke with an easy laugh. He turned
to Mr.. Jewett and said:
There's some friend Of yours In the rear
of the hall who is having fun with you"
The remark saved the day. Mr.. Jewett
recovered his equanimity and made a very
good speech.
Why Senator Johnston took exception to
the invitation the senators are asking. His
cause of the fact that the invitation for
Mr.. Jewett to speak came from Demo
crat.
Mr.. Jewett left the Democratic ranks dur
ing the Bryan craze and since that time
has been an active Republican 1t is
thought this may have been the reason for
Senator Johnston's outburst.
