ADAM WISE
WINS CASE
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
IN FAVOR OF MACCABEE
LODGE OF PERU.
Allen Skunk Formerly of Ply
mouth Was Atty for Plain
tiff-Suicide Insurance.

The validity OF provision in
a life insurance policy that there
shall be no liability in cases of
suicide, whether. member was
sane or insane at the time of
death" was upheld by a decision
of the appellate count Yesterday.
The Knights of the Modern
Maccabees refused to pay pol
icy on the life of Joseph B. Kunse
formerly of Peru, on the ground
that he hanged himself. The
widow replied that he was insane
when he did so, and that the cor
oner had returned a verdict That
his death was caused by "suicid-
al hanging. following or as re-
suit OF dernented mind"
A provision in the policy that
mo benefit certificate OF any
member shall be invalid where
the member has been adjudged
insane, prior to his death, bv any
court of competent jurisdiction"
was relied on, but the court held
that the suicide defeated the pol
icy.
Judge Watson sand: This as
ISOLATION mad the right to make
such contract. The language is
plain and unambiguous and
means just what it says.
Attorney Adam E. Wise of
Plymouth represented the Mac
cabee lodge in the suit. which
was won by HIS efforts. The
plaintiff was represented by At
torney John Allen Skunk former
ly of Plymouth, and Attorney
Annabal of Peru. The case was
closely watched throughout the
state of Indiana.

$50 sales since he has been in
that business.
Son Will Take Business.
The auctioneering business
held by Steiner, will be taken up
by his son Harold Steiner, who
is already a veteran in the serv-
ice. He has served his apprentice
ship with his father since boy
hood and promises as successful
career as his father in the auc-
tioneering business. The son is
hustler, and Isl making good. He
is already filling the BILL in his
sales in AIashall county. Young
Steiner will make good in the
business turned over by MS
father.
Takes Position Soon.
1t is probable that Steiner will
not take charge OF the Plymouth
postoifice until after January l.,
which time will be required to
perfect his qualification etc.
Factions are Disregarded.
1t is apparent that the recon-
mendations which were sent to
White House Tuesday have
been made entirely without re-
gard to former factions in the
party. and in the numerous APP
pointments to be made in the fu-
ture Senator Beveridge will con-
tinue to ignore factionalism.

Many Citizens Pay the
 Street Tax Under Protest

a penalty for the deIinQuents. and call the clause a coercive penalty. Thus. they say, the money. paid under vfr- tual coercion. will, undoubtedly be re- turned. if the ordinance falls below, on assault.
 2 In this light ;the forebodings of . test suit take on q serious face For. with Sf5. 1000. involved. the matter be- comes important. even without consid- eration of a principle likewise involved, Q principle which has attracted the mo- tice of many citizens. If the protests are in, any way significant.
 Lawyers Protest.
 The fact that many of the persons protesting are lawyers, and that all of the kickers were business or pro- fessionaI men. with. some knowledge of what law Is and should be. and with some foresight. Strengthens the anticipation of a test. There has been nothing. so far. however, to give tam gfbfe color to the anticipation. beyond the largely cfrcumstantiai evidence.
 The street tax payments have been heavy during the past few, days. espe- cially on Monday, the last day of grace as first set. But that all might get in with their g, Mayor Teague has ex- tended the time for ten days, allowing the time until March 10 in which to pay. Such were the orders in a letter inscribed by him to Chief Taylor yes- terday.
 With the heavy payments. the pro- tests increased The first was made during the middle of February. when payments were light. and then, uncom- municated, the Idea of protesting the payment grew, swelled. until many of the kicks were registered. and the CO., incidence awoke the suspicious of e coming test.
 The street tax ordinance has beeh since Its inception the pride of the aldermanic body. with one or two ex- captions of Councilmen who fought the passage of the measure violently. Es- pecial care has been exercised when the ordinance came for drafting and for passage, and every possible flaw that might render 1t invalid was searched out. Amendments to the original ordinance were few and far between flor the Councilmen feared to endanger the validity of its measure by a pfeponderance of amendments.
 And now that the light of legal in- spection may be turned upon 1t. judg- ing from any indications. there is some little perturbation evinced in the halls of the city officials.

SUITS AGAINST HIGDON
 HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN

Birmingham. March 2-(Special.)- Four cases against Sheriff Higdon, ag- gregating damaged sought at sl0o. 900. have been withdrawn.
 The suits had been filed by four men, who claimed they were made to march through the streets for several blocks from hotel the deputies had raided, to the county jail. and were thereby humiliated. They declared they had been made to perform the so- caIfea 'sociaT club 1ock-step."
 Today, when the cases came up for hearing. the suits were withdrawn. This is taken to mean that the many others of similar character will be removed from the docket.
 Sheriff Higdon Is said to have been preparing a mass of evidence against the men in an effort to get ready a strong case.

\ FIGHT MAY BE MADE
 ON VALIDITY OF ORDINANCE
ThcSe Who Pay Under Protest Have
 Chance of Recovery
ye the Law is Subsequently Declared Hsu1SN and There Are Rumors of . Contest, Those Who Protest
 Wau Be Taken Care Of.

When yaslous citizens of Montgom- cry adopted the tack of filing formal protest as each paid his street tax. there was evidenced an unpopularity in many quarters of this latest tax wrinkle of the City Council.
 And there also are signs of hgh [ on the street tax ordinance-for a pro- test means nothing if not an expecta- ton of reEaining the money paid un- der protest; and to regain money one must sue; and to sue in this instance will moan an attack upon the street tax measures. as to its validity and eonstitutionailty. ,,
 Whatever the prospect of a suit and . legal attack on the ordinance may be, there Is no doubt but that many formal protests were filed as the tax waa paid. As each citizen registered his kick" there was written across the stub and across his receipt the word protest"
 The railroads have protested the pay ment of their franchise tax when they paid it. why not the citizens?
 The railroads have sued for the re- turn of their tax after the protest was filed. And again. why not the citizens Such is one argument advanced.
 That there is every probability of a test suit, not altogether for the return
  lively insignificant, but for an attack upon the law For the law has proven unpopular In many cases-for instance, witness the many protests.
 There are some who filed the protest as . matter Of protection. so they ex- plain. They say that the statute is unpopular; that some one may see fit to test 1t. and maybe break It; that in such instance, their money. paid under protest. will be returned. Thus, they gay. the protest represents an action in which there Is everything to gain, and nothing to lose. And also, they continue, the protest will return their money. if the law Is by any chance subsequently, proven bad. while those who made no protest must suffer the loss of the Ss whether the law holds or not. fS#1
 But another argument. by citizen who would not be quoted. declared that if the hypothetical test proves the or dinance invalid. then the entire S15;00o paid in by the 5000 citizens. must all be returned. For they point to the clause of the ordinance. which provides
