This Opinion Gained by State
ment Made Yesterday by
Judge Anderson of the Fed
eraI Court.
OFFER BY PLAINTIFF
TO PRODUCE A BUYER

ership May Be Discharged
Reid Affected
Especial Correspondent

indianapolis, March 20.-George F..
McCulloch may yet gain the control
of the Star League composed of the
Indianapolis Star. the Muncie Star
and the Terre Haute Star. At least
Judge Anderson, of the federal court.
made a statement from the bench.
yesterday afternoon that was taken by
many to mean that such might be the
result of the suit that is now on trial
in which McCulloch is trying to have
the receiver for the three papers dis
charged and the property sold. Nc
Culloch, through his attorneys, yes
terday, made the statement that he
would produce man who would pay
100000 for the three papers, and he
would post forfeit of 100000 for the
fullfillment of the agreement. The
other side did not answer this offer,
and Judge Anderson's remarks indi-
Gated that he thought pretty well of
McCulloch's offer. He said if he were
shown that McCulloch had an equity
in the property and still made this
offer he would feel like robber if he
did not give him consideration in this
case. The trial of the case is still on,
but will probably finish it today.
Is the Reid Case.
This is the case in which Dan G.
Reid, who bought the three Stars
from McCulloch. who started them,
begin an action for the appointment
of receiver in order to protect
note for something like 100000
which he held against the company
and to protect his stock and bond
holdings. This started a scrap be-
tween Reid and McCulloch. because
McCulloch claimed he could see a
game to freeze him out and make his
several hundred thousand dollars
worth of preferred stock worthless.
The receiver was appointed and still
has charge of the property McCul-
loch makes serious charges of mis-
management against John c.. Shafer,
of Chicago, to whom Reid sold the
papers afterward, and he says that
the property ought to be sold and
the proceeds applied on the debts of
the company, including his stock.

TARIFF MEASURE

kinds of gloves. Under the Payne
bill all these duties are grouped to-
gether and made the same.
The result is, of course. that while
the advance is comparatively small.
that is to say, only 33 1-3 per cent
upon the highest grade of gloves worn
by women. the increase on the lowest
grade is a good deal more than 100
per cent. Curiously enough, there has
been no increase in the duty on mems
gloves except in the case Of the low
est grade, women having been ap-
parently singled out because they are
the largest purchasers of gloves for
themselves and their children.
To those who are not acquainted
with the technicalities of glove manu-
facture it may be said that the lowest
grade provided for under the present
law is the ''schmaschen.' This glove
is of sheep origin and prepared for
women and children with a cheap
"glace" finish. When these gloves
are not over fourteen inches in length
they are taxed under the present law,
when imported into the United States,
$1.75 per dozen pairs. Under the new
tariff, if it should become law, these
same gloves would pay duty of 81 a
dozen and the finest kid gloves from
England or France would pay no
more
graded in regard to gloves. as it is in
regard to most other things. SO as to
make the tariff bear some lCation to
the cost of the article. The result is
that under the present law there are
five separate paragraphs devoted to
different rates Of duty upon different

State School Superintendent
Alley Will Continue the
Old System.
A new RULING ANNOUNCED
FUNDS DOES NOT PERMIT FULL
TERM SCHOOL PRoMisSoRY
NOTES ISSUED.
Especial Consequently


Indianapolis, March 2O-Robert J.
Alley. the new state superintendent of
public instruction, Is not going to
make any radical changes in the
methods of conducting business in his
department., but apparently he is 60
ing right ahead. trying to run things
about in the same manner as they
have run heretofore. Among other
things, he says he will not make any
marked changes in the method of
grading teachers manuscripts when
they are sent to the state superinten-
dent. He will probably make changes
in the persons who do the grading,
however. These graders are never
known to the public. An impression
prevailed in certain parts of the state
that an entire new system would be
installed.
Makes Ruling.
Alley has decided that in cases
where townships are not able to con-
tinue their schools for the full terms
provided by law and no relief can be
obtained from the state because the
township trustees may issue a sort of
promissory note to the teachers for
the amount due them for the full term
and which cannot be paid, these notes
to be taken up when the township has
the money to do SO. Alley asked the
attorney general about 1t and the at
torney general said this would be
proper and drew up form Of promis-
sorry note for Alley to recommend to
the trustees throughout the state.

Who Cam Be Found.
TEN THoUSOND
DOLLARS LOSS
Fire Is Still Smouldering
!. And Investigation
Is Delayed.

AS result of fire which started
about O'Clock this morning at Val
| ley Grove, and which destroyed the
erevato-z and warehouse belonging to
i the Pacific Coast Elevator Company
and other property of Mrs James Me-
Inroe, it is claimed by gang of sec
ton men living In that vicinity, that
an unknown man was burned to death
in the flames.
Last night the section men noticed
man half drunk, who was wander
ing about the tracks with two full
whisky bottles protruding from his
pockets. No, more attention was paid
him, but it is said that he entered one
of the buildings and the surmise is.
that in lighting pipe. set fire to the
structure and was consumed In the
flames Over 420 feet of buildings was
razed to the ground, but owing to the
fact that teams have been at work the
past few weeks hauling grain, only %
sacks Of wheat were lost, this being
owned by Mrs. McInroe. The Pacific
Coast company had nothing in their
buildings.
Two other houses located about TOO
feet from the buildings that were burn
ed. miraculously escaped catching fire
and this was no doubt occasioned by
the fact that a grove of trees inter-
vened.
The probable loss is estimated at
about $4,000 part of this being COW
cred by insurance by both the prop
erty owners. Mrs. McInroes building
was insured at s400 but the value,
r!aced on he,other buildings could not
be ascertafned
It is not known as yet by the farm
ers of that country what they will do
in regard to handling their coming
crop. but it is expected that work of
rebuilding will begin at once. AS
there are no other houses situated in
that locality. something of this sort
must be done by the wheat growers
ASA place for storing the crop must
be prepared.
A party of men from this city visit
ed the scene of the fire this morning
in automobiles and searched the ruins
for traces Of the missing man, but ow-
ing to the pail Of smoke which hung
over it, nothing could be discovered.
