APPROPRIATION
; NOT Been ASKED
? BY TAX FERRET LOWE OF
COUNTY COUNCIL FOR
1905.
INDIANAPOLIS NEWSPAPERS
Recently Published Statement That
Council Had Turned Lowe
Down.
INDIANAPOLIS NEWSPAPERS

} Since the time the contract was
let by the county council to Charters
and Lowe. $15, 900 has been appropri-
ated to pay their commission and
they in turn have turned into the
: general fund of the county treasury
more than $4,000, over twice the
amount appropriated by the county.
IT is regarded as certain that as long
as the same ratio of omitted taxes
continue TO be turned into the treas
ury by w. E. Lowe the county coun-
ell will continue to make appropria-
tions to pay his and W. F. Charters
commissions. OF the $1,000 appropri-
ated last September about $4,000 Of
the fund remains and on December
81 it will be turned back into the
county treasury as it cannot be used
for the ensuing year.
Several days ago a dispatch sent
out from this city and published in
one of the Indianapolis papers stat
ed that the Wayne County council
had refused to appropriate $4,000
for 1905 to meet the bills for the
commission of w. F. Charters and
w. E. Lowe, who have the contract
for tax adjusting in this county.
This dispatch is not true as up to
the present time W. E. Lowe has not
asked the .sSdncil for an appropria-
ton for the ensuing year but will do
so at special meeting of the coun-
ell some time after the first of the
new year. The first appropriation of
$4,000 was made in December, 1908,
for the year 1904. The next appro-
priation, which called for the same
amount, was made in June, 1904, and
last September Mr.. Lowe asked for
another appropriation for the three
remaining months of the year and
for the 1905. The council made a
third $4,000 appropriation for the
month of October, November and
December, 1904, and told Mr.. Lowe
to wait until the first of the new
year before the 1905 appropriation
was made.

'L|PSCOMB REUNION
Occurred in the County Jail Yester-
G
day Morning.

A family reunion which was not
noted in the society columns of the
different papers occurred at the Jail
yesterday morning when Charles
and John Lipscomb met. Both of
the boys will see great deal of each
other during the next two months
as they each have sentences of sixty
four days to serve. John Lipscomb
was sent to Jail On Christmas day for
carrying concealed weapons. He was
originally arrested on charge of as
sault and battery, but this charge
was dismissed. Charles Lipscomb
thought that he would find out what
had been the matter with his brother
and the Lane family, on one member
of which the alleged assault is sup
posed to have occurred, so Monday
. he collected fair sized drunk and
went around to the Lane store.
Trouble ensued shortly after his en-
trance and it is alleged that Maude
Lane, young girl, was assaulted.
Ut is also said that Lipscomb struck
Mrs. Lane several times and that she
was so badly injured that she was
unable to leave her bed yesterday.
Mayor Zimmerman thought it best
to give the man the limit On the
charge of assault and battery and
both he and his brother will have a
chance to think it over for some II, 1e
to come.

HOLLAND HOUSE BAGGAGE
Consisted Chiefly of Wearing Ap-
parel-Banker to Testify in the
Case.

Cleveland, O., December o.
Contrary to expectations the inquiry
in connection with the Chadwick re-
ceivership case was not resumed to-
day. Receiver Loeser stated that
nothing more would be done in the
matter for several days. "We have
definitely located the trunk and
sachel that were taken from the Hol-
land House in New York." said Mr..
Loeser today, "and they will be
brought here within day or two.
Aside from wearing apparel, there is
1 understand, little of value in either
the trunk or the sachel. We had in
tended today to examine Henry
Wuerst, the Eylria CO.. jeweler, who
holds about $4,000 worth Of Mrs
Chadwick s jewels as security for a
loan. Wuerst has made full state
ment of just what he holds, however,
and has expressed his willingness to
surrender them whenever the loan is
made good. The jewels will be ap-
praised later, but my impression is
that they are worth no more than
the sum advanced by Wuerst to Mrs
Chadwick"

when it sportively yanked a mans

bouncing down the street, or tossed
about the skirts of the women pedes-
