took up a bottle Of ginger beer. and
the cork flying out made such a report
that the highwayman instantly gallop-
ed OF in great alarm"
Lord Berkeley's encounter with one
Of the famous gentlemen Of the road"
had more serious consequences:
Being driven over Hounslow Heath
he was awakened from sleep by his
coach being brought to a standstill
and . threatening face looking in at
the window.
I have you at last. my lord said
q grun voice. though you said you
would never yield to n robber. Deliver"
Certainly was the earl's reply.

The highwayman turned his head
to look and at the same moment Lord
Berkeley shot him through the head

A Russian Sentry.

In 1850 the Russian emperor saw a
soldier in the middle of a grass plot in
the palace grounds. Why was there a
daily guard, relieved at stated inter-
vnis? No one knew. Curiosity was
aroused, and at last a veteran was dis
covered who remembered hearing his
father say that the Empress Catherine
she died in 1727-once saw snow
drop in bloom at that point unusually
early and asked that guard be sta
toned there to protect it. And there a
sentinel remained for. at least 132
years: no one knew how much longer.

REPUBLICAN GANG
HATCAlhG A PLOT
Alleged Taft Supporters Are
Secretly Working for
Fairbanks.
palladium Specially

INDIANAPOLIS, March 22,-The
men who have been intrusted with the
Taft campaign in Indiana and who
have already caused a serious disaf-
fection In the Republican party of this
state through the methods they have
pursued to further their own ends. are
to be held responsible by the real
leaders OF the party. 1t is conceded
that the bld Healing Watson -Hemen-
way gang has already jeopardized the
party's chances this fall needlessly.
The fact Is, it Is generally recog-
1ized that these politicians are not at
heart for Mr.. Taft but that they are
merely using him as a decoy in order
to gain control of the Indiana delega-
ton to the National convention with
the belief that somehow they may be
able to slip Charles w. Fairbanks into
the place at the head of the ticket.
1t Is merely a case Of self preserva-
tion with this crowd, it is asserted by
others. These same men were accus-
ed OF having caused the defeat OF the
Republican party in Indiana two years
ago. preferring to ruin, rather than to
lose the rule of the party. Now it is
asserted that they are again willing
to see their party go down In defeat
rather than permit the progressive
Republicans to come into power.
The party at large has awakened
to the selfish motives which have been
the handspring of the actions Of these
bosses and 1t Is promised that the
first step in the direction of shelv-
ing them for good and all will be the
selection OF Roosevelt delegates to the
early state convention next week when
the four delegates at large to the
National Republican convention will
be selected. Even men who have been
inclined to support the Taft candi-
dacy are now lining up with the Roose-
welt men for the purpose of dis
countenancing the type Of politicians
into whose hands Mr.. Taft's candida
cy has fallen into In this state. They
feel that there is even more at stake
in this state than the expression of y
choice for presidential nomination
the future welfare OF the Republican
party in this state. And with the fur
ther belief that the men in charge Of
affairs on the Taft side are really not
sincerely for TAFT at all, they do not
believe that they are assisting Taft
when they vote for delegates to the
state convention who will be control.

BESSIE GRIFFIN
 ALLOWED $l,000
 BY JUDGE BURPEE

Judge Burpee of the superior court has handed down a decision in the suit brought by John and Bessie Grif- fin of this city against Lawrence J: Gill, administrator on the estate Of Mary Ann Griffin. The court finds in favor of Bessie Griffin to recover $1,OOO. The plaintiffs asked for $2,- 900. Mary Ann Griffin was John Grfffin's mother and it was claimed she promised to provide for them if they took care of her. They declared that from February 1, 1901 to Feb ruary 1, 1911, they rendered services to the old lady which were worth $2,- 900.
 Administrator Gill disallowed the claim because he did not believe the Griffins performed the services they alleged. He declared that Griffin re- ceived a piece of property valued at $3,OO0 from his mother before she died. There are two minor children. sons. of the late James Griffin, and grandsons of the testatrix, who are entitled to a share in the estate.

KEEP PERSONAL TAX
 COLLECTORS BUSY

George William Moak walked into the personal tax collectors office this noon and wanted to know if it was necessary for him to call at that of flee every year to inform the collec- tors that he was exempt from paying poll tax by reason of his being over 61 years of age. Patrick Cuddy, one of the collectors suggested that an affidavit to that effect would do away with that necessity. It was found that MT. Moak had no insurance pa pers and it looked very much as if he would have to appear before a notary to swear to his age, when it occur red to the tax collectors to ask where he was born or where he was married He happened to have been married in this city and consequently his correct age was established without the ad- ditional expense.
 Many of those who have been delin- quent in paying their 1911 tax bills 'bestirred themselves in the last two days as the result of the arrests that were made and kept the collectors busy yesterday and today.
