LIN. Will
CONTEST TAX
ASSESSMENT
CONTENTION is THAT VALUATION
SHOULD BE FIXED BY STATE
COMPTROLLER DUE TO Gov
EMINENT CONTROL.

On the grounds that personal prop
?erty possessed belongs to the United
States government and not to the rail-
roads and that such property can not
be legally assessed except by the state
comptroller, the L. & n. r. r. will
contest the assessment of $4,000
made by the county. The property
consists chiefly of the L. & n. shops
and their equipment.
The railroad administration has de-
clared the property non -assessable,
according to Judge A. c. Blount, who
With ]. b. Jones. tax agent for the
road, appeared before the board of
county commissioners yesterday to
make a formal protest. Under an act
of congress, if assessment were
made, Judge Blount stated last night,
the government and not the road would
make payment. The claim is made
that the state should make the entire
assessment.
w. J. McDavid, county tax assessor,
stated that it was his opinion that
the assessment was legal. He said he
had taken up the matter with the
assessor of Duval county and the de-
Cision had been reached that it should
be made as heretofore, Notwithstanding
the fact that railroads are now under
government control.
County Attorney r. Pope Reese will
give an opinion on the case. 1t is
probable that there will be. definite
answer to the protest tomorrow.

Says President John Petit

Licenses for real estate men will
be discussed at the state meeting of
realtors in Kokomo next October, &C
cording to John E. Peltz, who with
Jesse E. Bailey and c. D. Shidler,
members of the state Board of Govern
ors, attended a meeting of that body
in Indianapolis recently, at which
time plans were made for the state
meeting.
Licenses will be a good thing"
said Mr.. Peltz. They guard against
frauds" Peltz said that two years
ago the Board of Governors had a bill
before the legislature providing that
real estate men shall have licenses,
but that when the bill went to the
committee it was dropped almost i'm
mediately. He is of the opinion that
some action will be taken at the state
meeting in October.
A meeting will be called soon, of
the local real estate board, to consider
action on an increase in commission.
The members are now receiving
percent. and are considering an in
crease to percent. which Is being

CLEVELAND, O.. July 28-Edgar
Allen Poe never conjured up a more
mystifying setting for the fantasies of
fiction than the realities of the Dan
Kaber murder psychologists vainly at
tempting to untangle the threads of
this case are agreed.
Dan Kaber, successful Cleveland
publisher, paralyzed with neuritis to
an extent that deprived him of the use
of both legs and arms, was dragged
from his bed shortly before midnight
Friday and stabbed twenty-four times
in the abdomen, presumably with a
dagger made from a sharpened file.
The searchlight Of publicity has
failed to establish a motive for the
crime. No tenable reason has been
advanced for mutilation which seems
deliberately to have avoided vital
spots and left the victim to die lin
gering, painful death.
Two mysterious fires at the Kaber
home, 1887 Lake avenue, Lakewood
within the last fifteen months and an
anonymous letter warning the dead
man that he would be waylaid, have
been mentioned to strengthen the the
DRY of a plot to secure some mythical
revenge.
