A LIBRARY LEVY
DECLARED GOOD
Ruling of Attorney-General
Which Has Special Local
Interest.
THE DUTIES OF COUNCIL
MUST PLACE THE LEVY ON THE
TAX DUPLICATE WHEN 1T is
MADE-LIMiT, HOWEVER, As
TO AMOUNT.

The question as to whether a lib
rary tax is valid under certain cir
cumstances has been mooted ques-
ton in Wayne and every other
county in Indiana which has a pub
lie library.
Attorney General Miller. in an
opinion furnished the State Library
Commission, holds that after the
library board of a town or city has
declared levy of taxation for library
purposes, it is the business of the
Common Council or Town Board and
the county auditor to have the
amount placed on the tax duplicates
and have it collected as other taxes.
The Town Board has nothing
whatever to do with the levying of
this assessment, the attorney general
says THE certification to the
Town Board is merely for their in
formation as to what levy has been
made
The question was raised in Hamil-
ton county. The Library Board of
the town of Carmel made a levy of
one mill on each 81 of taxable prop
erty in the town for the purpose of
maintaining a library. The Town
Board expressed an unwilling
ness to permit the assessment to be
placed on the tax duplicate. The
county auditor, however, did not
agree with the town board, and did
as the library board requested.
The attorney general quotes the
law as follows:
1t shall be the duty of such library
board to determine the rate of taxa
ton that shall be necessary to estab-
fish, increase, equip and maintain
the public library and certify the
same to the common council or town
board and the county auditor; pro-
vided, that said levy shall not ex-
coed / mill on each dollar of the tax
able property assessed for taxation in
such city or town, as shown by the
tax duplicate for the year Immediately
preceding the fixing of such levy.
When the assessment for such pub
lie library purposes shall be certified
to the common council or town board
and the auditor by the public library
board the same shall be placed on
tax duplicate of such city or county
or town and collected in like manner
as other taxes are levied and col
lected.

|NO LONGER ENGINEERS.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Now Designates all Such EN-
pIoyes as "Eneinmen."

The Pennsylvania recently changed
the name of the men who sit on the
right hand side of the engine cab and
guard the throttle. from engineers
to "enginemen." The title .engin-
eer'' is reserved for the men on the
civil engineering corps. It is probable,
however. that the men who drive the
big battle ships over the track at
lightning speed will never be called
enginemen by an admiring public.
The time honored title OF engineer
carries associations with it and Is
too firmly intrenched in the vocabul-
airy of men to be dislodged. The en-
gineers themselves do not like the
change.

THE SCENE
 AT WARSAW
Following the Horror of
 Last Wednesday
The Surgeons Worn With Attendance Upon the Victims of Massacre.

London, Aug. 16.-The Tribune's Warsaw correspondent telegraphs a description of the scenes witnessed by him after the disturbances Wednesday. "The hospital surgeons fatigued by their labOrs," he says. "were unable to attend to cases, and wounds diagnosed as fatal were left to take their course. The scenes in the morgues were hor- ribie. In one I counted thirty-twO civilian bodies, all dirty and dressed as they fell.
 "The people have grown callous with too much death I heard a young girl laugh heartily at the sight of a woman whose brain pan had been tom off by a bomb.
 "In one hospital I saw a youth who, when bayonetted yesterday CWednes- day) feigned death. The soldiers trod over him and their heavy boots crushed his fingers to a pulp; he successfully stood the ordeal He was carried to the morgue. when it was discovered he was alive. He is now progressing fla vorably.
 Last night resulted in an orgy of blood in the Jewish quarter. The num- Der of persons clubbed or bayonetted exceeds three hundred"

TEXAS WAR
 IMMINENT Militia Wants to Get At Negro Troops
Business at a StandstilI at BrOwnsviIle--Rangers Sent to Preserve Order.

Houston. Aug. 16-A special from Brownsville. Tex, says: Further trouble is feared here with the negro troops. A citizens guard of 15O men is stationed along the road between this city and Fort Brown. and if the negroes attempt to leave the garrison it is the avOwed purpose of the citizens to shoot them down. Foul hundred rifles were sold to citizens yesterday. The report that the officers of the gar rison are themselves afraid of the negro troops has determined the citi- zens to take no chances.
 Many people are leaving their homes on the side of the city near Fort Brown. An appeal is being made to Governor Lanham. Business is nearly suspended in the city. It is reported that the Texas national guard troops now attending the maneuvers at Camp Mabry are clamoring to be sent to Brownsville. Sensational rumors have infiamed the militiamen, and it is now believed that the negro raiders com mttted the recent acts in Brownsville in retaliation for the reported intention of the Texas militiamen to use ball cartridges in the event the United States permitted the negro troops to participate in the Camp Mabry maneu- Yers. Adjutant General Hulin consid- CTS it unwise to send state troops 10 Brownsville

PRESIDENT REYES
 CALLED A TRAITOR
The DenunciatiOn Comes From Co.,
 lOmbian Minister at Washington.

New York Aug. 16.-The Tribune tomorrow will say: There has tusr been made public an open letter writ ten by Diego Mendoza, recently min ister of Colombia. at Washington, to a member of the national assembly at Bogota, in which the diplomat de- nounces President Reyes of Colombia as a traitor to his country and accuses him of extreme bad faith.
 Never, perhaps, has there been penned such scathing denunciation of the head of a government by a dip lomat. nominated by the man he at tackled.
 Senor Mendoza. who has just recent ly returned here from London. where. as a member of the Colombian con gress. he represented Colombia at the nterparliamentary union, declared that President Reyes has for fifteen years entered into a secret agreement with President Amador of Panama un- der which the former department of Colombia assumes a part of the Co., lombian debt thereby practically abandoning COlombias rights on the isthmus and this. he says. stamps Reyes as a traitor He tells also of President Reyes supposed financial interest in the lighthouse at Colon. and asserts that the president sent to Wash!ngon an agent authorized to sell the' lighthouse to the United States for Sl00,000. for which service he prom ised the agent a commission of ten per cent.

 Several candidates were nominated for senior and junior vice commanders. but later all withdrew in favor of Arm strong and Fenton and both were chosen unanimously. Archbishop Ire land had no rivals for the position of chaplain-in-c chief
