FOLK WILL WIN.

St Louis, Mo-, May 9-Joseph W.
Folk, the attorney who exposed hood
ling in Missouri, has apparently won
his fight for the Democratic nomina-
tion for governor of Missouri. He has
2s5 instructed votes, 356 being neces-
sary. Harry Halves has withdrawn
and his other opponent has only Al
delegates. Unless the Reed and Halves
forces develop enough strength to de-
feat him, which does not seem likely,
he will win easily.

AUDITORS AGENT
COLLECTING TAXES
People Through the Court
House to Pay Taxes.
Mr.. George II. Alexander, of Louis
vile, Collecting Money Rapidly
Question About the Deeds.
LIVELY LITIGATION POSSIBLE

Mr.. George H. Alexander. Of Louis
vile, one Of the state auditors
agents, is in the city and this morning
began collecting back taxes on prop
erty for the state, and all property
which is not thus redeemed will be
sold and an auditors deed given the
purchaser. This is the first time
sale of this kind has beer, hold here
since 1882, and it has aroused oonsid-
cradle interest. The agent is working
in County Judge r. T. Lightfoot's
court room, which was packed all the
morning with both white and oolored
people anxious to pay the back state
tax and avoid the sale of their prop.
erty.
So fast did the delinquent taxes
come in that the agent worked iuces-
sanity from early in the morning until
noon, when he adjourned until this
afternoon. He will collect taxes until
the property owners quit coming in,
and will then sell all property not re-
deemed.
A great many people do not under
stand the nature of the sale. Ii is sim
ply that of property the title to which
has become vested in the state through
failure of the owner to redeem. All
property is sold by the sheriff for fail
ure to pay state and county tsxa-sz
The owner then has two years in which
to redeem 1t, The property Mr.. Alex
ander has advertised to sell Is property
which has been sold within the past
seven or eight years by she sheriff, bid
in by the state, and not redeemed by
the owner within the specified two
years. The property Mr.. Alexander
sells Re will give a deed to, but
number of lawyers today declared that
such deeds will not be worth the paper
they are written on.
IF the law has been compiled
WITH" explained one lawyer, "then
the deeds will be good. That Is, if It
can be shown that the taxes were due
and not paid, the property advertised
and sold according to law, and that
the owner had no personal property
from which the taxes could have been
paid, then the deeds will be good. But
there isn't one case in ten where this
has been done, and probably not one
deed in ten would consequently be
valid"
It is understood today that former
Master Commissioner Clip Husbands
went over the list published by Mr..
Alexander and has stated that fully
IS, 900 of the taxes claimed to be due
have been paid long ago, and that he,
Mr.. Husbands, has the receipts for
them The reason he knows is, that
the law requires when property is sold
by order of court by the commissioner,
all taxes must be paid, and that Mr..
Husbands himself paid the taxes and
has the receipts. Mr.. Husbands was
seen today and vereted the report ex-
cept he didn't know the exact amount.
1t is likely that there will be some
lively contests if some of the proper
