NOVEL IDEA
To Avoid the Payment of Exhorbi-
tant Street Taxes.

A 4Kokomo firm has hit upon a
novel scheme for avoiding the paw
men Of exhorbitant street improve
ment taxes and still maintain the
ownership Of the property. The US
ual method of procedure was had
in making the assessments according
to the provisions of the Barrett law
The assessment was considerably
above the saleable market value of
the property. The owners hit upon
the scheme Of letting the property
be sold for taxes and then buying it
at the sale.
This method of sidestepping the
law is said to be possible under the
Artman enactment, which holds
that assessment for Improvement of
property may be collected only to
the amount that the property is
worth at public sale. AS the prop
erty can ahrdly be considered worth
more than it will sell for on sale,
the owners will no doubt still hold
the property and avoid the payment
of exhorbitant Improvement tax.

a few minutes until he "saw a man"
the CRATER disappeared. Neither Mrs
Bailey nor her son have seen him
since. The police learned yesterday
aftrnoon that an unknown man had
succeeded in working a similar graft
in East Germantown with even bet
ter success and had then "taken to
the woods
Worked at Germantown.
There is no doubt but what the
same man approached woman in
East Germantown on Friday after
noon and worked the woman for
1926. He approached Mrs. Thomas
Daggett and told her that he was in
charge of a gang of men which was
doing construction work on the in
terurban line. The stranger put up
nearly the same story that he had
used in Richmond with the exception
that he did not promise any one a
position. He claimed that he was go
ing to discharge one of the men and
that he only had twenty dollar
bill consequently could not pay him
off. He asked Mrs. Daggett to lend
him the necessary 1926 until he had
obtained change at nearby store.
Mrs. Daggett readily consented to
the plan and lent the affable stranger
the required amount. Needless to say
she is still waiting for her change.
Thel ocal marshal was notified later
in the evening but the confidence
man had left Germantown and it is
thought that he went south toward
Milton. Inquiries in the vicinity of
towns south of Germantown yester-
day afternoon by a representative of
this paper were made in regard to
the stranger but nothing could be
learned and it is thought that he has
disappeared for good.
A Third Case.
About a month ago a man APP
preached Mrs. Lin Minnicks at $40
he was a contractor and needed
number of men to go to work for
him. He made a proposition to Mrs.
Minnick that he would give her hus-
band and her son work at much bet
ter wages than they were getting at
that time. The father was to work
in this city, while the son was to be
sent to Eaton, where the stranger
claimed that he had large amount
of work to be done. He further ar
ranged to board himself and two
other nren with Mrs. Minnicks. Aft
er making all arrangements he put
up a story of how his tool chest was
in the express Office and he could not
get it out until he had received some
from his firm. He asked Mrs.
Minnicks for a loan of three dollars
and half. Mrs. Minnicks let him
have the money and she has not'seen
the man nor the money since. When
her son came home in the evening
she informed him of his new position
and he Immediately went to Eaton,
where he learned that there was no
work to be done there. He came
back and searched all the saloons and
public places in Richmond but was
not able to find his man. From de-
and all it is very likely
that the man was the same one who
did the work in the West Side and in
Germantown last week. Practically
the same story was used in each in
stance.

vINOL'S RELIABILITY
STRONG EVIDENCE OF MERIT.
Prominent Physicians Join With Voc
geli Bros. Drug Co. in Recon-
mending V1nOI.

Countless physicians and druggists
are now prescribing and indOrsing
Vinol as the most valuable cod liver
oil preparation known to medicine,
and it is fast superseding all other
forms Of cod liver oil.
A prominent physician writes: IT
am satisfied that Vinol derives it's
wonderful life-giving and strength
creating power from the medicinal
curative elements found in the Gods
liver. 1t is the best strength creator
and vitalizer for old people, weak
women, children, and the GONZALES
cent that I ever saw"
Another physician writes: II could
cite many cases where health has
been restored in surprisingly short
time by Vinol. T should be very sorry
to have to do without Vinol in my
practice. It has no equal for hard
colds, throat and bronchial troubles
Now, when we tell you that we have
never sold in our store a remedy of
such remarkable curative and
strength creating power as Vinol, for
the weak, the sick and the aged, and
that If 1t fails to accomplish what we
say it will we will refund your money
without question, it will show you
our faith in the preparation.
In cases where cod liver oil, emul-
slons and other tonics fail, Vinol will
heal, strengthen and cure.

PENNED IN BY
FIERCE FLAMES
MRS. ALLEN AND HER FAMILY
BARELY ESCAPE.
They Leap to Safety from Window
While q Boarder in the House Is
Carried Out in an Unconscious Cons
ditiOn.

Mrs. Florence Allen, a widow resid-
Ing at 404 zenith avenue N, her
two daughters, aged IL and Ia years,
respectively, and Theodore Johnson, a
boarder at the Allen home, narrowly
escaped cremation in a fire which
o'clock this morning. Mrs. Allen and
her daughter were able to break a
window in their bedroom and leap
to safety, but Johnson was carried
from the burning structure by Captain
Charles Loss Of Truck No. 4. Mrs.
Allen was taken to the city hospital
but the others received medical at
tention at neighbours residence.
The fire evidently started from the
heating stove in the parlor, and when
fire truck No. arrived the entire
room was filled with flames. AS Cap
tain Loss reached the house, Mrs.
Allen and her two daughters sprang
thru the window. The woman tainted,
but the girls told the fireman that a
man was asleep on the second floor:
Captain Loss sprang thru the win
dow and ran up the stairs to a bed
room directly over the parlor where
he found Johnson lying unconscious in
bed. He picked the man up and
started for the stairs only to find that
the flames had cut off his retreat. He
then broke out the window, and
jumping after him.
AS soon as the inmates of the house
were safe, the fremen turned their
attention to the flames and soon ex-
tinguished the fire. The loss on the
building is about $1,000, partly COW
cred by insurance.
In removing Mrs. Allen to the city
| hospital the firemen and the city
hospital authorities clashed over the
use Of the ambulance. The hospital
rule is never to send the ambulance
until a physician has examined the
case. The intention is to have emer-
gency cases handled by the patro
wagons. The f1remen called for the
ambulance but were refused until q
physician could examine the case
They then called the North Side
patrol.

CHURCH And STATE CASE
THE STATE HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
LOOKS INTO CONDITIONS SUR
RUNDING THE SCHOOL AT
WAVERIiY.

The state high school board had an
other session yesterday with the men,
bers of the school board Of Waverly,
who are insisting that the district be
allowed state aid for its school. The
board has denied it heretofore because
money voted for that purpose was sup
posed to have been spent on repairing
one Of the buildings, which Is owned
by the Catholic church. John M.
Casey, principal of the school, and w.
J., Walsh, a member of the board, were
present yesterday and denied that
such use had been made of state
money. 1t was not denied that one Of
the buildings was owned by the parish,
and that all the teachers were sisters
or other Catholics. A. w. Rankin,
state Inspector, said the priest had told

hi nthat If a Protestant were en-
|

hi mthat If a Protestant were en-
ployed in the building, the school
would have to move out. The gentle
men from Waverly declared that there
was no such understanding.
It was finally decided to refer the
question to the attorney general, after
the facts have been fully ascertained
and laid before him by Mr.. Casey and
G. A. Morey Of Winona, a member Of
the board.
There was some discussion yester-
day over the requirement that schools
receiving state aid take the examina-
tons prescribed by the board. In
spector Rankin declared examinations
were made too much of, and his view
was supported by DR.. G. M. Jordan of
the Minneapolis schools. Superintend-
ent Olsen, G. A. Morey and Prest-
dent Northrop declared their belief in
the efficacy Of examinations as an in
centive to work. ..E
The question whether schools re-
ceiving state aid should charge book
rent to nonresident pupils was re-
ferred to the attorney general. Super
intendent Olsen is opposed to such a
practice, while DR.. Jordan thinks the
district Is entitled to ask nonresidents
to help pay the expenses of the school,

MINNEAPOLIS LEFT OUT
Milwaukee Road Calendars VIII Make Nc
..E,.- Omissions In Future.

The Milwaukee road will avoid in the
future an error which crept itno the last
office calendar for the year which it dis
tributed all over the system. On three
monthly sheets were inscriptions indicat-
ing that the Pioneer Limited started from
ST. Paul, also the fast mail, and four trains
to the east Of course Minneapolis and
st. Paul was meant, and but for a clerical
error that is the way the calendar would
have read.
City Ticket Agent G. r. Lewis said to-
day that he had taken up the matter with
the general officials and in the future
such errors would not creep in. He was
unaware until yesterday Of the Importance
given to ST. Paul without reference to the
twin city. Investigation was started at
once thru the northwestern office at st.
Paul and advertising would be issued
which would give proper Importance to
this city. Mr.. Lewis said that Of course
the mistake was absolutely unintentional.
