separate list os exempt from taxation.
In 1896 large portion of the property
was entered on the tax duplicate and
an attempt made to collect the back
taxes as well as the penalties for
failing to pay the taxes back as far as
1890.
The property sought to be taxed
was 13 pieces In the city, no claim
eyer having been made that taxes
should be paid on the churches or
parochial schools. However 1t was
sought to collect taxes on the priests
houses. the bishops house, the domi-
cile for the sisters OF the church, the
vacant lots belonging to the church
and the old Catholic graveyard.
The case was ssubmitted to the
court on the exceptions of both par
ties to the findings OF the master. The
court said that the most essential and
controlling question in the case was
whether or not the Roman Catholic
church was purely AN institution Of
public charity. II
The master held that the church
was organized for the purpose Of
teaching and preaching the doctrines
Of the Roman Catholic church. He
held that charity was included In the
teachings OF the church, but was
rather an incident and not one of the
primary and essential purposes.
The court held that none of the
buildings owned by the church were
rented or used for profit. They were
open to any and all at any time. The
graveyard at the corner of Mt. Yer
non and Washington avenues, the
court held, was exempt from taxation
as long as any bodies remained there
The grounds contiguous to the church
are exempt, but the court held that
this does not apply to vacant lots.
-, The prayer of the petitioner is
granted in every instance except as
to taxing vacant lots. The court held
that these lots were properly entered
on the tax duplicate and that the
auditor and treasurer should not only
collect the taxes on this property
back as far Of 1890, but should also
collect the five per cent penalty OF
these lots. Aside from this the audit.
or. was permanently enjoined. The
appeal bond for both parties was fixed
az $500" Both sides noted exceptions
TO the decision and It is probable that
1t will be taken to the circuit court
on appeal.

CATHOLIC CHURCH PROPERTY
NOT LIABLE TO TAXATION
Except as to Vacant Lots...The Church Is an In
stitutlon Of Charity, According TO Decision
of Judge Marcus G. Evans.

The Roman Catholic church is an
institution of purely public charity
and therefore no property belonging
to the church aside from vacant lots,
should be included on the tax dupli-
cate, was the finding Of Judge Marcus
G.. Evans In common pleas court at
Cincinnati Wednesday, in decidlng the
suit filed by Bishop John A. Waiter.
son against William Fl. Halliday,
auditor, April 16, 1898.
The case was referred to George B..
okey several years ago and had been
In the hands of the court about six
months. The finding of the master
was to the effect that the church was
not an institution Of purely public wor-
ship and therefore some property
should be taxed. Judge Evans holds
that the master erred In making this
finding and his decision Wednesday
went into the case in detail
About eighteen months after filing
the SUIT Bishop Watterson died and
the case was revived by his successor,
Bishop Moeller. All the property be-
longing to the church is In the name
Of the bishop Of the diocese, and the
plaintiff urged that the property was
all used for church purposes and not
for profit, which rendered 1t exempt
from taxation. The suit sought to
enjoin the auditor and treasurer from
entering the property on the tax dup
licate and from collecting these taxes
1t was urged that the Roman Cath
olic church was organized for the
purpose of public worship and public
charity, to establish public institu-
tons Of learning and to maintain
graveyards and burying grounds. It
was claimed that the church was pure

of 2Sth infantry who was alleged to
have Tilted Miss Caroline Harold, a
clerk in the war department, few

the court martial of Colonel Pitcher
and the matter was referred to In
spector General Burton for investi-
cation. Before conclusion was
reached, Miss Harold asked that the
case be dropped as she desired to avoid
further publicity.
The reprimand, which will be filed
with Colonel Pitchers efficiency rec

had Tilted other women and rebukes
him for language used to General
Burton. The reprimand says that no
further action will be taken because
of Miss Harold's request.

R|0T0US SCENES
IN WINDY CITY
MARKED THE OUTBREAK OF
THREATENED BATTLE
Between Members Of the Furniture
Drivers Union and the EN-
vi. ployers' Association.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Riotous scenes
recalling the teamsters' troubles OF
two years ago last summer took place
in downtown streets today. Several
policemen were slightly injured by
missiles thrown from the ranks of the
mob and few men and boys were ar
rested. North and west side car
lines entering Madison and LaSalle
streets were stopped for two hours.
This was the outbreak of the threat
ened battle between members of the
Furniture Drivers union and repre-
sentatives of the Furniture Manufac-
turers association and Chicago EN-
ployers' association. yhe fight start
cd when two men Ariving wagons
laden with chairs from the Johnson
chair factory started east on Madison
street from the river
The wagons were bound for the
board of trade. Two blocks east of
the bridge, at the Fifth avenue cross
ing; trouble began. Crowds Of union
men and sympathizers had assembled
there, and additional police were sum
moned to aid the small guard already
with the wagons. When the wagons
turned into La Sale street the crowd
became more demonstrative and every
wagp driver in the vicinity rushed
his Team in ahead of the furniture
wagons and blocked the street Doz-
ems of policemen finally succeeded in
forcing way through and the chairs
were unloaded on the Sherman street
side Of the board Of trade. When the
empty wagons started In their return
trip. however, the trouble became
worse than before. Bottles. cans. and
all conceivable missiles we're hurled
at the police and the non-union driv-
ers. The running fight continued un-
til the wagons were safely housed at
the factory.
II is feared that today's trouble is
but the beginning of a serious fight
which may involve all the union
teamsters of the city. The Johnson
men went on strike Monday and to-
night the business agent of the Fur
niture Drivers union said that his
committee would start Immediately
and call strikes ON all the factories In
the association that had not yet sign.
