1T REVIEWS FIGHT.
Illinois Life Insurance Company
Files Suit.
Would Collect Taxes Paid to the
County.
BIG SUM is AT STAKE.
Purchased Assets of Now De-
funct Kansas Concern.
Z. S. Court Appeals, Decides the
Case, Plaintiffs Favor.

Citing court decisions to show that
the state treasurer held illegally, for
several years bonds and securities
amounting in value to $632,S8O, and
| that it was forced to pay taxes on the
property thus illegally held within
the state, the Illinois Life Insurance
company today filed suit in the United
States circuit court against the board
of county commissioners. J. NJ. Wiki
erson, former sheriff of Shawnee
county. j. D. Norton, sheriff and
Stanley Medlicott, county treasurer,
for $1O,535.15 and interest at six per
cent since February, 1909. 1t is
charged that this amount was Illegal
~ collected as taxes by Wilkerson,
acting as sheriff, last year, and that
the money was paid under protest.
The beginning of the suit dates
back to February, 1903, when the
Kansas Mutual Life insurance COM
pany. one of the cooperative con-
Germs organized in the nineties, went
Leland, George Cole and william
Hooper were appointed receivers and
after a canvass of the various old line
companies decided to and did sell
the assets of the Kansas company to
the company now bringing suit.
At that time the Kansas company
had securities on deposit with the
state treasurer of Kansas. These Sc
curities, it is alleged in the petition
filed today, swere included in the
transfer, but they were not actually
delivered to the Illinois concern. La
ter they were demanded of him but
he did not turn them over.
Compelled Double Reserve.
The company alleges that it has on
reserve in Illinois and elsewhere the
legal reserve required of such a COM
pany and that the holding of these re-
serves in Kansas compelled it to have
a double reserve for the money in
volVed in the business. Suit was final
ly begun in the federal court to force
the state treasurer to turn over to the
Illinois concern the reserve. The case
went to the United States court of
appeals and January % of this year
decision was rendered in which it was
decided that the securities had been
unlawfully withheld from the COM
pany.
Meanwhile the new Kansas tax law
had become effective and in 1908 these
securities were assessed at their face
value by the assessor of Shawnee coun-
ty. The company declined to pay the
tax imposed, because, it alleges, the
property was held in Kansas in VIOLA
ton of law and would have been re-
moved from the state had not such
been the case. In 1909. however. a
warrant was issued and Sheriff Will
kerson demanded payment of the tax.
Then it was that the Illinois company,
tax.
The company alleges that the Sc
curities deposited were exempt, be-
cause of the fact that they were so
paid the state two per cent of it's pre-
miums collected as required by law,
and that therefore such a tax as the
county levied was double taxation. 1t
miums paid to the state amounts to
$500 yearly.

CHAPTER XII

At the close of a long, hot day, the
enchanted yacht sighted land-a blur
of gray and green to the left. AS the
night deepened this verged into a
splash of tropic green, washed with
spendthrift moon. Betty begged to be
allowed to stop on deck to watch this
dawning beauty, and Tyoga, muffied in
long white cloak, stood beside her.
AS they approached the harbor Betty
saw it was the jettying mouth of
river, the banks lined with mosshung
palms, springing from matted
growth of reeds, entwined vines, rush
es and lush grass. Straight up the
river they went in the moonlight
through a current so slow that the
stream appeared stagnant No sign of
habitation met the eye, and the jun
giles to either side were still as death

Japanese Test of Madness.

Recently at the Tokyo appeal coul !,
before Judge Miyamoto, a farmer
named Gisei Haseba, 26 years old, con-
victed of numbering his parents-in-law
and severely injuring his wife at Osa-
togori, Saitama prefecture, in 1908, ap-
pealed from the judgment of the
Urawa local court, where he was SEN
fenced to penal servitude for life.
Since April last year, during the
public trial of the accused, he has not
uttered single word. This attitude
led the judge and the public prosecu-
tor to conclude that he feigned mad
ness as the last resort, hoping to
get released. He was medically ok
Rmined by DR.. Kure and Dr. Miyake,
and in this examination DR.. Miyake
adopted singular method.
There is a belief that the blood of a
venomous snake is soluble with that
of an ordinary man, but not with that
of a mailman. The doctor applied this
principle to the examination of the
suspected lunatic, and sure enough
the blood of the venomous snake did
not dissolve in the blood of the ac-
cused Thus the doctor concluded
that he was really mad.
The other doctor also gave evidence
about the lunacy of the defendant.
The judge ordered that the trial
should be postponed until the &C
cused was recovered from his abnor-
NAL condition.-Japan Advertiser.

Somehow her hunger for Larry was
far worse than her desire to satisfy

was accustomed; Betty, who had open

mystery, murder and death, convalesc-
ing from malignant attack of brain
fever, was beginning to discover that a
woman is weakling after all, and that
when she needs a strong arm to lean
on, she wants it sadly And in the
mist and mirage of the life from which
she had so suddenly been taken away,
1t was Larry Morris, his face, his fig
ure and his personality that Betty's
heart and soul reached out for vainly.
