Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North and
stay in doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months d?
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are a stock raiser
you know your stock are now
"eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by ex-
pensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding re-
quires the combination of both
esh-forming and fat-forming
foods Il in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce
in abundance the velvet bean
and cassava, the first a flesh
producer, and the latter u fat
producer, and they are tn o
cheapest and best fattening ma
terials known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section of the Union.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Found below the

LAND VALUES INVOLVED
IN SUPREME COURT SUIT
Barret Law, in Peculiar Litigation,
viii Be Interpreted Through
Appeal from Kokomo.


A case involving the construction of a
section Of the Barrett law, upon the de-
cision of which will depend the value of
and even the title TO thousands of dollars
worth of property in Indiana, will be heard
before the Supreme Court at 10 o'clock
this morning. So important is the case
considered that the court will hear oral
argument on it, a thing that is very rarely
done in civil suits. The case is appealed
from the Howard Superior Court
Chester B. Masslich, representing the ap-
pellant, william II voris, of Chicago. is
attempting to enforce street Improvement
lien upon property of the Pittsburg Plate
Glass Company and others in Kokomo that
was never assessed and does not abut upon
the Improvement. though it lies within $50
feet of the street.
William Fl. Voris. the appellant, is the
owner of bonds of the city of Kokomo for
the paving of Vale avenue. Courts have
held such bonds to be payable only from
assessments for the improvements for
which they were issued. The city is not
liable. If an assessment is not paid the
bondholder must lose unless he forecloses
the lien property which the unpaid as
sessment gives him by the Barrett law.
This was the case at Kokomo. with one
exception-that Mr.. Vorhis foreclosed his
lien against abutting property. He found
that this property did not bring enough to
satisfy the lien. He therefore sued the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company for the
balance of the unpaid assessment on prop
erty lying back of the property sold with
in $50 feet of the paved street.
The case was decided in favor of the de-
fendant by the lower court, and Mr.. Voris
appealed.
Mr.. Masslich reached Indianapolis last
night, and was seen at the ClaypoOl. In
speaking of the case, he said: 1T is a
close question, there is doubt of that,
and there are good many interesting legal
points involved
IL the Supreme Court should reverse the
decision of the lower court, 1t would mean,
in effect, that any one owning property
within 150 feet of an Improvement, on a
side street, could be assessed for a part OF
the cost of that improvement. The point
involved is one of the most important of
the many brought UP by he enforcement
of the Barrett law, and involves vast in
tereStS.
Willis & Voorhis and Clay Buntain of
KOkOmO, are counsel assisting Mr. Mass
Itch Attorneys for the appellees are Bell
& Purdum, Blacklidge, Shirley Wolf.

AMERICAN CONSULATE is
RA|DEO BY DOMINICANS
Two Refugees Taken Therefronl
by Rebels at Samana-Armed
Force Was Used.
NAVY TO ACT AT ONCE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The rebels in
Santo Domingo have committed another
breach of international law which, added
to those preceding. are making up a for
midable case that may justify the United
States government in intervening to restore
order and protect the property in the dis
tracted island To-day Minister Powell re-
ported to the State Department that he
had received belated advices from Jean VIII
lain, the vice consular agent at Samana,
dated Feb. to this effect:
insurgents entered our consulate at Sa-
mana with armed force and took two ref
ugees out
The State Department promptly commu-
nicated this Information to the Navy De-
partment with a request that proper action
be taken by the naval authorities 10 pro-
tect the United States consulate This was
promptly transmitted TO Admiral Wise and
IL is the belief that he will not only pro-
tect the consulate, but will demand the
punishment of the perpetrators of this out
rage. and if the provisional government is
not able 10 do this he will employ the Unit
ed States naval force TO chastise the in
surgentS.

JAPANESE NAY TRY TO
CAPTURE PORT ARTHUR

LONDON. Feb. E.-According TO special
dispatches published here this morning from
Toxic, the Russian squadron has returned
TO Vladivostok.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily Mail
says in dispatch that two Russian war
ships appeared of Oki island I'm the south
ern part of the Japanese sea. Sunday.
No war news OF Importance appears i'm the
London newspapers this morning. but the
press attaches the greatest significance to
the departure of Viceroy Alexien from Port
Arthur. and comments upon the sudden
throwing of Russian troops into Nieu-
Chwang as indicating Russian apprehen-
siOns that Port Arthur is I'm danger. and
that the Japanese attack may not, after all.
be made where it is expected on the Yalu.
All the reports tend to confirm the impress
sion that Russia has little or nothing to
expect from sea operations.
The Seoul correspondent of the Daily
Mail in the course OF a descriptive narra-
tive Of the Chemulpo battle says that be-
fore the fight the captain of the Russian
cruiser Variag held a conference with the
British, French and Italian captains aboard
the British cruiser Talbot, in which he
asked for the protection of foreign war
ship in leaving the harbor The request
was refused. The British launch delivered
a protest to the japanese admiral imme-
diately before the action. The Americans
present refrained from attending the naval
conference or partaking in the demonstra-
ton. although some of the Russian wound
ed were received on board the United
States gunboat Vicksburg.
While the Variag was being sunk her
captain. fearing that the japanese would
reach the vessel before she settled down.
requested the captain Of the Talbot 10 fire
at her water line. This request also was
refused.
