to the East Chicago police department

operates a fruit and candy stand in the
waiting room at Harbor Junction and
who first noticed that his profits were
gone.
Entrance to the station was effected
through one Of the windows, the lock
of which had been pried open with a
blunt instrument. The ash drawer OF
the fruit stand had been forced open
and only a few pennies left for young
Smith to business with this
morning. Smith is but IL years of age
and felt his loss keenly.
Suspicion rests upon a young boy
who has been lettering around the sta
ton for the past three or four days
and with whom the police have had
considerable trouble in the past. In
quiry at this boys home this morning
elected the information that he had
not been there since yesterday after

the great lakes.
Minnesota and indiana long have been
thorns in the sides Of their sister states.
in that they do not tax vessels regis
tered from their ports on value. but on
tonnage. This is so much of an exemp-
ton that it threatens to draw to the
two ports of these two states, Duluth
and Michigan City, a large proportion
of the boats on the lakes
Predicts Good u
The conference was called by Gov
ernor Warner, and he stated last night
that he was satisfied good results would
follow.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing that all states pass laws making
their taxes ad valorem on an equality
with those of other states.
Samuel Lord. tax commissioner of
Minnesota, ~nounc that he would
attempt to have such legislation en-
acted in that state. and declared the
support Of the administration was as
sured. He said that both he and Gov
ernor Johnson were members of the
legislature when the present bill was
passed and voted against 1t.
Marshall Writes Letter.
A letter was received from Governor
Marshall of Indiana expressing his
sympathy with the movement. Indiana
is said to be the worst offender. The
state receives about $1,000 a year from
It's tax on vessels and most of this is
from boats registered from Evansville,
on the Ohio, though many big boats
register from Michigan City.
Michigan receives SIS, 900 from her ad
valorem tax, with a comparatively
small proportion Of the shipping regist-
cred from her ports. This is more than
would be due from every vessel that
sails the great lakes under the 8 cent
a ton system.

formed those present that his fur coat
had been stolen and asked If they had
seen the man.
A hurried search for the thiefwas

BITTER AGAINST WILLIAMS.
Attorney General-Elect of Virginia
Faces Trial for Assault.

ROANOKE, Va. December 13.-Judge
Samuel w Williams. attorney general
elect of Virginia, who will assume the
duties of that Office January 1. but who
is under Indictment in the county court
of Mcdowell county. West Virginia, and
for whom reauisition papers have been
issued by Gov. Glasscock of West Vir-
ginia, arrived in Roanoke last night and
is In consultation with his attorneys,
Messrs. Marshall Mccormick and Judge
w. j. Henson.
Judge Williams stands indicted for as
saulting ex-Judge Joseph Saunders, for
merly of the West Virginia supreme
court, with an ink bottle during the trial
of a case some months ago at WEIGH, in
which Judge Williams alleges that the
West Virginia Judge called him liar and
that he struck him with the first thing
he got his hands on.
R. p. Johnson of Wytheville stated here
last night that he was in the coal fields
Saturday and that he found that public
sentiment was very bitter against Ju, ge
Williams, and that it would not be safe
for him to go into that section at this
time. He made thorough investigation
of the conditions there and many people
expressed the opinion that he would be
liable to assassination. 1t is further be-
neyed that in order TO humiiate Judge
Williams a number of negro jurors will
be drawn to try him.
1t is thought here that pressure will be
brought to bear on Gov. Swanson to re-
fuse to honor the reQuiSition.

CHARGED TO DEFECTIVE FLUE.
Fire Takes E. 7. Bruehl's Fine
Home on Marlboro Road.

Igniting from a defective fue, the
frame house of Emil T. Bruehl. on the
Marlboro road between Landover and
Brightseat Md, about three miles be-
yond the District line, was destroyed by
fire shortly after 8 o'clock Saturday
morning The loss. Mr.. Bruehl stated,
amounts to $1,000 with no insurance.
Shortly before the fire broke out Mr..
Bruehl came to this city on business
trip, leaving his wife alone in the house.
Her attention was attracted to clouds
of smoke blown from the roof. and. 60
ing into the yard, she discovered one end
OF the roof and a portion of the upper part
of the house in flames. The fire spread
with great rapidity. and by the time
neighbors arrived and formed a bucket
brigade it was beyond control.
The efforts of Mrs. Bruehl and a num-
Der of persons who came to her assist
ance were then devoted to saving as
much of the furniture as possible and
preventing the flames from spreading to
neishboring outbuildings. In an hours
time the building was entirely consumed.
Mr. Bruehl was formerly in the feed
business In this city. and, retiring about
three years ago. built himself a country
home. The burned house was regarded
as one of the most attractive in design
in that section of Maryland.
