TAX LAW STRENGTHENED
Commissioners Well Pleased With
Action of Legislature.

The tax commissioners. are. on the
whole, well satisfied with the manner
in which the tax bills were treated by
the legislature. OF twelve bills intro
duced, twelve were passed. The tax
law was strengthened by the bill
which provided that assessors be elect
ed in counties of twelve thousand in
habitants and over. 1t was the opin-
ion of the commission that had the
bill passed in its form providing for
the county clerk to act as assessor in
counties up to 10000 population, a
hard blow would have been struck at
the effectiveness of the new tax law
as the county clerk is usually one of
the busiest officials in the county
when he attends TO his own duties
The provision enabling the commits
sioners to discharge any assessor for
cause also helped the law.

BARRED FROM BENCH.
Deputy Sheriffs Open Way for the
Court at Cooper Trial

Nashville, Tenn, March 10.-So
dense was the throng inside the bar
today, in the Coopef-S Sharp trial for
the murder of F.. w. Carmack, that
Judge Hart could not reach the bench
from his chambers until two husky
deputies pushed open a narrow path.
He mounted the bench and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: 1 am glad
to see you here this morning and sor-
said before, there must be no demon
strations. If you follow my orders
everything will be lovely If you do
not. we will fall out right away
laugh followed the judges re-
marks, but he raped for order.
Attorney General Garner began his
argument for the state, Immediately
after court opened.
He said: 81 say that NJ. H Meeks
falsified the record when he told you
that Senator Carmac1z called Col
Cooper dive keeper. 1t was a cruel
and a monstrous Misrepresentation.
eff you gentlemen of the defense
have not enough evidence to bring a
verdict Of acquittal, then do not de-
tract in the act of falsifying and de-
ceiving the jury.
mo matter what Senator Carmack
said on the stump or wrote in the Ten
nesseean about Col Cooper, there was
no justification for murder.
Gen. Meeks says that murder for
the editorials is justifiable. He, a law
yer, applies the unwritten law to edi-
tors.
''They say that Senator Carmack ac-.
cused Col. Cooper of having reconciled
Gov. Cox and Gov. Patterson. And
there is not a word to show that this
reconciliation was improper or that it
was degrading to have effected it. Yet
they consider it justification for mur-
der. If so, what in the name of God
should be the punishment meted out
to John Sharp and Robin Cooper for

STAY OF EXECUTION.
Will Result From Appeal of Oil Com
panies in Missouri

Jefferson City, Mo, March TO-
The appeal in the oil company cases
acts as a stay of execution on the
Judgment announced by the court
yesterday by which the custer de-
erees against the companies were af-
firmed. Both the Indiana and Re-
public companies will have the right
to continue business in the state
pending a decision by the federal
tribunal
The prayer for writ of error was
filed by Frank Hagerman of Kansas
City. He declared that the big bond
demanded by the court will be filed
within a few days and that the per-
fection of the appeal will follow
shortly thereafter. The attitude of the
state toward the appeal was stated
by Attorney General Major, who said
that as soon as he receives proper no.
jce that the case has reached the su-
preme court in Washington he will
enter motion for the dismissal of the
write of error on the ground that no
federal question is involved. He will
urge that the Missouri statutes upon
which the custer decree is based are
right and that they do not take pri-
vate property without due process of
law. This court is expected to place
the matter upon a square issue that

the vile epithets applied to Senator

the vile epithets applied to Senator
Carmack %.
No Fear of Carmack.
Colonel Cooper's own son believed
the father was in a homicidal mood.
He went on the streets and searched
for him.
''AII these men Who have come here
to testify that they were hurrying
around to prevent Carmack from as
sauIting Colonel Cooper tell you their
efforts were directed at soothing Col
onel4 Cooper. Not a word to Carmack,
not an attempt to restrain him-why ?
Because they knew that the man who
was the only one likely to cause trou-
BILE was Colonel Cooper.
THE evidence of the three defend
ants in this case. gentlemen, shows
they are guilty, just as completely and
as surely as does the evidence of Mrs.
Eastman"
Coming to the actual shooting he
said:
They say now that Carmack at once
drew gun. Cooper says so, Robin cor
roborates him. John Sharp, who sees
it all. says that is not true, that Robin
drew a pistol and that Carmack did not
draw his revolver until he got to the
poles. But if Senator Carmack drew
gun, why did he not shoot? What
does a man draw a gun for except to
shoot? Yet they would have you be-
lieve that Carmack waited until Robin,
who says he was paralyzed for an in
stant. jumped between Carmack and
his father.
Senator Carmack was shot twice
through the heart and once through the
spinal cord-either one of which would
have proven fatal.
Gentlemen, I see in the location of
these wounds the accusing finger of
God, making it impossible that justice
should miscarry or that the guilty
escape.
"Oh. Carmack," said General Garner,
eff you had to go without last bless
ing on your hearts idol; if you had to
leave without a last kiss from your
wife, are you not glad that beautlful
Mrs Eastman was there when you
went?

GETS ZANDITON STOCK.
r. p. Bray of Chicago Pays $23, 200
at Receivers Sale.

R. P. Bray, of Chicago, has purchas-
ed the Zanditon stock of Receiver F. E.
Grimes as well as the lease on the
rooms in the Commerce building where
1t is located. The purchase price of
$4,000 does not include the accounts
due the firm which are in the hands
of Receiver Grimes for collection. The
stock will be sold in Topeka.
The Indebtedness against the stock
has been reduced slightly and will pro-
badly be a little less than 100000 while
the assets of Mr.. Zanditon will not ex-
ceed over one-fourth of that amount,
including the sale price of the stock.
It is stated that the dividends will
amount to from 10 to 20 per cent. An
other meeting of the creditors of the
firm will be held Thursday, March Is,
and at that time it is likely that a num-
Der of claims against the estate will
be disallowed for various reasons. Ar
rangements will also be made at this
time to collect accounts which are due
the Zandition creditors.

was decided by the Kansas supreme
court in favor of the commission COM

not make these rates under the law,
but the court held that the contract
