COAL LAND CASES
n NB|Bb MONDAY
Tax Assessments on Lease
hold Interests at
Stake

Montgomery, February 14.-(Special)
Cases involving tax assessments on prop
erty in Bibb county valued at from
100000 to 100000 will be heard in the
circuit court of that county next Monday
and John s. Mooring, president of the
state tax commission, and Henry P.
White, associate tax commissioner, will
be present to represent the states In
terests. Mr.. Mooring and Mr.. White left
for Centreville this afternoon to be pres
ent IN court Monday morning
The cases in question involve tax as
easements on leasehold interests in Bibb
sounty coal lands and will probably go
~ the supreme court for final adjudica-
ton.
At the hearing Monday the state will
be represented by J. Fred Thompson
of Centrevile and the eight lessons of
coal lands will be represented by the
firms of Percy, Benners & Burr and Till
man, Bradley & Morrow of Birmingham
and John T. Ellison of Centreville
The question before the Bibb county
circuit court involves the right of the
state to assess the holders of leases on
coal lands. The lessons claim that taxes
have already been paid by the owners
of the lands, and that they are i'm
mune from taxation. Should the state
win the cases II will mean many thou
sands of dollars in revenue annually
hence the litigation is expected to attract
more than statewide interest.

ON TO CALAIS
AND BOULOGNE,
GERMANS CRY
Englishmen Asking What Will
Come Next?" as Kaiser's
Men Get Nearer.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Oct 17.-German forces,
as was predicted. have occupied
Ostend. near the sea, where the Ger
man right wing and the allies left
are struggling in the latest phase of
what was once the battle of the Aisne
Reports reaching London say that
German imagination has been fired by
the taking of Ostend, and the cry now
is not only ION to Calais but ION to
Boulogne."
What progress, IL any, the Germans
have made since they entered Ostend
Thursday morning is not known here,
but their next objective apparently is
Dunkirk. Opinion in England seems
to differ as to what part the British
fleet would play should the battle con-
tinue TO skirt the coast line, and the
reports that British dreadnoughts
would back up the French, British
and Belgian forces from the straits of
Dover seem to originate in German
sources.
London papers generally deprecate
the Importance of the German oceu-
patton of the Belgian coast, pointing
out that the British mine field pre-
vents the enemy's bringing ships TO
operate from the none too spacious
harbor of 0stend. The fact remains,
however, that as the lighting gets
geographically nearer to England the
public, heretofore discussing and
specializing on Zeppelin raid, is
bound to ask itself what will come
next.
1t is unquestionably true that II
Germany is able to engineer sub
marine attacks from base further
away, Ostend, If held by the invad-
ers, certainly would be of some
strategic value.
The allied left is holding its ground.
At some points it is even moving for
ward having occupied Laventie, driy-
ing the Germans back in the direc
ton of Lille. One report had 1t that
the Germans had been driven out of
Lille, but this has not been confirmed.
The presence of Uhlans has been re-
ported recently within forty miles of
Calais, but a glance at the map in
the region of the cavalry clashes off,
the last few days, which for a time
extended as far west as Hazebrouck,
shows that, notwithstanding the Ger
man claims of victories, the. allies
have made steady progress, Laventie
being considerably east of the town
mentioned.

RUSSIANS PLAYING
A WAITING GAME
Give Germans Chance to En-

War in East.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. Oct. 7,-Telegraphing
from Petrograd regarding the situa-
ton in the Russian field of oprea-
tons the correspondent of the Times
says
ut looked as If those high in Rus
sian command had decided to play
q waiting game Otherwise they
would not give the Germans time to
entrench and thereby prolong the
whole course of operations.
Reliable information shows that
the Germans seriously contemplate
wintering in Poland. Peasants have
risen at many places, notably Kielce
and Mieehow. Regardless of the
most terrible reprisals they are
forming guerrilla bands and attack
ing the invaders. The railroad near
Nowo Radomsk has been wrecked
and trainloads of Germans killed.
"All roads from the Vistula to the
frontier are encountered with the
German transport wagons and dead
horses. The roads are impossible
owing to rains"

ROCK ISLAND LOST
MILLIONS IN FRISCO
DEAL, HE ASSERTS
Director Tells Commerce Board
of Purchase and Sale of
Western Lines.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Some de-
tails concerning the acquisition and
! subsequent sale at loss of millions
or the Frisco lines were developed
today when the investigation into
| the financial operations of the Chi
| cago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail-
way was resumed before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
George b. McMurtry, of New York,
a director of the Rock Island Oper-
| ating Company and of the New Jer-
sey Holding Company of the Rock
Island, gave testimony tending to
show that the board of directors
practically was dominated by Daniel
| G. Reid. The witness says he knew
personally very little concerning the
financial operations of the several
| companies. Asked about specific
! transactions, including the Frisco
| deal and the payments of money to
Directors Jackson and Cable, for
which no explanation had been given,
the witness said that he could re-
member nothing about those mat
ters.
II didn't have time to go into such
Details" said he.
Upon cross-examination, Mr.. Nc
Murtry said that, as usual In such
company operations, he relied upon
the reports of the executive commit
tee which had direct charge of them.
George T. Boggs. of Newark, di-
rector of the Rock Island operating
company and an official in various
capacities of that company for many
years, giving his version of the pur-
chase and subsequent sale by the
Rock Island of the Frisco lines, said
he believed il to be for the best inter
ests of the Rock Island to dispose of
the Frisco stock to B. F. Yoakum and
his associates, even at the loss which
the Rock Island was obliged to take
in that transaction.
THE time and condition had chang
ed said the witness, land it was
necessary for us to do the best we
could in the circumstances"
you believe, then" suggested Solic-
itor Folk. that the board of directors
of a railroad has right to do what it
pleases with the company's money,
without respect to the general
public?"
II do not quite understand the
question:" said Mr.. Boggs. 1.-THE
board Of directors of this property,
for instance, does what it deems to
be proper In any circumstances. As
to the bond transaction of $17500,00
at the time the Frisco stock was sold
W wi. Iodhu1ll, IL was necessary
that those bonds should be redeemed
before the stock could be passed to
the new ownership"
Mr. Boggs said, as a director, he
approved of that transaction and of
the loan of $7,500,000 made through
the First National Bank of New
York, because he believed 1t would
effect a saving to the Rock Island
Railway.

Railway, did you east your vote ac-
cording to Instructions" asked Mr..
Folk.

Bars Voting Machines

SYRACUSE, N. r. Oct. 1.-THE use
OF voting machines for both the gen.
erai ticket and delegates to the con-
stitutional convention in this city
was barred today by a decision OF
Justice William S. Andrews in SUI
preme Court. Mandamus proceedings
were brought by State Treasurer
Homer ID. Call and c. A. Yates
against the county commissioners of
elections, demanding that paper
ballot or a separate machine be pro-
vided for constitutional delegates.
Justice Andrews held that the group
Ing of delegates-at-large under one
knob on the machine rendered the
machine wholly unsuitable for this
election, in that 1t did net offer
reasonable opportunity for choice of
candidates.
