Interesting Documents

Bringing to light historic papers in the
possession of our t0Wnsmen seems to be
the job of our reporter.
Again. it has been found out that Mr..
ALVAREZ JULIEN has in his possession
faci-similes of the Magma Charta of 1915
signed by King John of the warrant
to execute Mary Queen of Scots 1887
A. D. signed by Elizabeth-and of the
warrant to execute Charles /. A. D.
1887.
Then an interesting collection of the
London Times has been preserved. 1t
describes the execution of Louis XVI-a
naval engagement in 1797-the Battle of
the Niles in 17Y8-the Battle of C0peD-
hagen in 1801-the death and burial of
Lord Nelson in 1805-1806 and the Battle
of Waterloo.
In a neatly arranged folio has been
also preserved a West Indian Atlas dated
1899 and dedicated to William Young
Bat, a Captain General and Governor of
Dominica.
These papers did not attract the atten-
ton of our reporter like a petition dated
Jan. "a, 1861, and intended to reach the
Minister of Finance in Denmark signed
by several leading citizens of St. Thomas
praying that the native militia be not
r~eestablished. The arguments advanc-
ed by these men could mot be beat''

Now He Understands Why Watson and Robinson Beuued
Him Into Ft. Wayne Speech
Bv Times Speciol

BV Times Special
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 3d.
When he writes his full autobiogra-
ply it is quite likely that Col. The
odore Roosevelt will include In his
travel experiences very vivid
chapter on his journey into the
jungles of Indiana politics.
1t is possible that he will entitle
that chapter THE Trimming OF
Teddy" and that his big game ex-
perience, in which he lured the un-
suspecting Owls Poll to his traps
had nothing on the manner in which
he was brought to Indiana to act
as bait for United States Senator'S
Watson and Robinson.
1t is an open secret that Roose-
welt came to this city Saturday night
al the urgent request of Senators
Robinson and Watson and was led
to believe that his speech against
the World Court would be one of
the big events Of the campaign, his
speech given to the public by radio
and print, his attack given the
emphasis and Importance of a major
drive against the court.
The speech, entrusted to Frank

ton. There was no effort to make

his presence Statewide event.
Neither Watson nor Robinson ap-
peared to give him welcome.
Roosevelt is accredited with sin
cerity in his opposition to the court.
He did not understand that Watson
was converted to opposition at the
last moment or that he had told
friends of the court in this State
that he had voted against ID only
when he knew that President Cool
idge did not need his vote in it's
favor. Nor did he understand tha
hooded influences which dictated
Robinson's course in the matter.
His bomb, under these circum.
stances, became a dud. He was
shown to the wavering Republicans
who have no stomach for Watson
and Robinson. The net result. as
he understood before he left the
State, was to help out the present
scheme of Watson and Robinson to
do some horse trading of the con.
gressional candidate here on their
ticket in their own behalf.
Today the silent workers for Wat.
son and Robinson are continuing
their efforts to trade dry Republican
friends of Watson for wet Demo-
cratic friends OF the Democratic con.
gressional candidate.

COUNTY TAX RATE
SET AT 50 CENTS
Budget Nearly Ready for
Action of Council.

The 1927 county budget is based
on a 30-cent tax levy. County Audi
tor Harry Dunn announced today.
The levy for this year was 80 cents.
The budget, which is nearly ready
for submission to county council
Sept. Z, provide $1.O64,S56 for cur
rent expenses, Dunn said.
In addition council will be asked
to appropriate sS79,953 to pay bonds
and interest coming due in 1927, and
special amounts for county institu-
tions.
Ordinances for bond issues total,
ing $1,07S,OOO for Improvement Of
94.22 miles of county roads next
year will be read, Dunn said, and
$1S2,350 for operation of Sunnyside
tuberculosis Sanatarium next year
will be asked
Dunn said the tax levy for Cen
ter Township has been reduced from
to cents. The county fund levy
has been reduced from 1S cents to
IA cents and the sinking fund levy
increased from 10 cents to II cents.
This is because interest is due on
100000 worth of courthouse bonds
next year, Dunn explained.
