Editor Lake County Times; Dear
Sir;
You have seen fit to take ex-

I'm the Hammond Daily News
under the caption lodge Is

Modern Maccabees had saved
$4,000 because two young men

} reason that they had not Joined

call for a reply from the local

'It Is now up to the Maccabees

THEY ALL WANT
THEIR MONEY BACK
Insurance Men Pay Up
When Threatened, But
Will Sue the State.
Especial to Lake County Times).

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 12.-It de-
veloped today that the thirty eight
insurance companies that paid the old
taxes dating back to ex-Auditor Rice's
time paid this money under protest,
and are preparing to bring suit to re-
cover from the state the entire amount
about $25, 900 in all.
This amount the investi eating COM
mittee found that Rice had never paid
over to the state treasury and the
auditor some months ago sent out
demand to the companies whose money
the ex-auditor took. asking that pay
ment be made. Few of the original
forty-two companies responded with
payment and it was not until Auditor
Billheimer threatened to revoke the
licenses of the companies that payment
was made, yesterday.
But in the payment, each of the
companies entered a formal protest,
signed by the company officials. and
acknowledged by the treasurer and
auditor of state. Each protest was
made in triplicate, the company keep
ing one, the auditor one and the treas
urer one.
w. L. Taylor. ex-attorney general of
the state, who represented the COM
panies with several of the local repre-
sentatives ofthe companies talked to the
governor yesterday afternoon and told
him of the intention to fight the claim.
1t is understood that the governor
made no comment with reference to
the matter.
Mr.. Taylor himself was free to say
that the companies would bring suit.
There is no question in my mind that
we can collect the interest part of
the money" said Mr. Taylor, and I
think there is little question that the
principle can be collected"
Mr.. Taylor would not say how the
suit would be brought. but it IS sup
posed that it will be brought before
the court of claims. which is the only
court that could allow claims against
the state-the only court, in fact that
could take up the case at all. This
court is composed of three superior
judges of this county, and it is sup
posed that the suit Will be filed before
them within the week.

For the origin of hand him a lemon
one must refer TO records of the time
when 'Knighthood was in Flower, :"
said a Columbia college professor the
other day. In those days a knights
only access to the boudoir of his lady
love was by means of a basket and a
rope, with which every lovelorn lass
was provided. When for any reason
the suitor was persona non grata the
bottom of the basket was so fixed that
the basket could be rid of its con-
tents, at much discomfort and pain to
the occupant. before the window case
ment was reached. These unfavorable
receptions were later called giving him
the basket
This practice spread so that baskets
in miniature were kept on sale at
stores. and We're used by many 10
shoe of unsuitable suitors. Some or
iginal young lady changed to or sub
stituted 'mitten' for basket. Various
other terms have been used for the
same purpose since and now the one
most in vogue is Hand him a lemon,
with a very wide application"

indianapolis. Dec. 11.--Music teachers
OF the state will have to brush up a

be able to play the we'll known classics
in ordinary and rag time: they must be
able to show the intimate differences

In addition to this state superintenda

musical education. to give the people
the worth of their money when they
engage a teacher. to provide. in time,
a uniform course OF study and to es~

And incidentally. the manner OF pay

One Candidate Who Requires 5000
Obtains Only 1000 Signatures
and Gives Up Hope Of Getting
on Official Ballot

1t Is predicted that the independence
league ticket headed by William H.
Langdon for governor. will be with
drawn during the present week.
According to good authority this
move will be made, not because of
pressure that is being brought to bear
upon Hearst, the head, hide and horns
of the nondescript political animal, but
by reason of the inability of Hearst IS
hirelings to procure the necessary num-
Der of signatures to entitle the ticket
to place on the official ballot.
1t is said that Langdon has failed
to secure half the required number of
signatures, and that it will be impos-
sible for him to get the necessary
amount in time to file the certificate of
nomination.
One of the Independence league can
didates who requires 5000 signatures,
admits that he has thus far obtained
only 1000 and that he cannot hope to
get onto the ballot unless he secures
assistance from Democrats. This as
sistance, he has been assured, will not
be Forthcoming.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY HAS
NO USE FOR CHINESE
By Associated press.


EUREKA, Cal, Sept. 80.-Twenty-
seven Chinese were brought into Hum
boldt county this afternoon on the
steamer Roanoke, from Astoria, to
work at the Starbuck Tallant cannery
at Port Kenyon at the mouth of the
Eel river.
They are the first Chinese admitted
on Humboldt soil since February 8, 1885,
when $40 Chinese we're with bag and
baggage shipped to San Francisco on
the steamers City Of Chester and Hum
boldt by incensed citizens because OF
various crimes climaxed by the killing
of David Kendall, councilman.
The management of the canneries
some months ago asked the chamber
of commerce of Fernda1e, near Port
Kenyon, for permission to import
coolie labor to work inside the cannery
only during the fishing and then be de-
ported.
The chamber conceded the request,
but similar bodies of the county, to-
gether with all organized labor, loudly
condemned the action, claiming that
the first lot of Chinese would be but a
wedge for more to follow.
The Chinese imported yesterday kept
aboard the steamer until the time to
leave for Eel river valley, then a box
car was showed on a siding beside the
warehouse, the Chinese were loaded
into 1t with their baggage and the car
was taken away. The coming Of the
Chinese was kept secret.

WILL EXAMINE
WEBER'S BRAIN
Or. A. A. cavagnaro Of San francisco
Declares His Belief That Auburn
Murderer Was Per-
fectly Sane
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30.-The
brain of Adolph Weber, who was
hanged at Folsom last Thursday for
the murder of his father, mother,
brother and sister, will be examined
by Dr. A. A. Cavagnaro of this city,
who is interested in criminology.
Weber's body, it was learned, was
sent here yesterday for cremation. 1t
was said that instead of being incin-
Grated the remains were turned over
to the Cooper Medical college for dis
section.
This is Indignantly denied by DIR. Ca
vagnaro, who declared that he merely
intended to examine the brain and
then carry out the wishes of Mrs.
Snowden, Weber's aunt, at Auburn,
Cal, and have the body cremated.
Or. Cavagnaro regretted 1t had leaked
out that the body was in San Fran
cisco and said:
1.-THE body will be cremated in two
or three days, and l shall incinerate
the brain as soon as complete my ex-
animation would not permit the
head to be preserved. | am working
for science and not for dime museum
notoriety.
Il have been quoted as saying that
Weber may have had tumor on his
brain. That is absurd.
Amy medical man knows that a man
of Weber's age could not have had q
tumor on his brain.
What l am looking for is abnormali-
ties or a growth.
Il do not believe he was insane, and
shall not be surprised to find his brain
perfectly normal"
