Cox DenounCes Plea for
Change of Venue: RapS

SOMETHING is FUNNY
Administration Action Is

by JuriSt.

Tactics followed by state officials
in defending an extortion charge
growing out of threat to revoke a
beer license were denounced today
by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox.
Declaring that he would refer the
facts to Criminal Judge Frank P
Baker, Judge Cox decried his in
ability to refuse the states motion
for change of venue.
This change of venue has been
asked on statutory grounds" Judge
Cox declared. Against my personal
feelings, I am forced to grant it.
Something Is Funny"
However, it seems to me there is
something funny about this case,
and 1 can't see why any odiun
attaching to the states defense in
Marion county would not apply in
any other county"
1T is amazing and astounding to

eminent would confess an odium

declared
1t is well known in courthouse
circles that Judge Cox has not been
friendly with the McNutt admins
tration, and the change of venue
is seen as a move to take the case
from his jurisdiction.
To Insist on Testimony
Judge Cox declared he would in
siSt on testimony being given in the
case before granting the change of
venue, pointing out that the change
need not be granted until issues are
closed with granting of a temporary
injunction replacing the restrain

The order was obtained by Criss
Hinias. proprietor of the Mira res
taurant, Washington and Delaware
streets, when he alleged he had
been threatened with revocation of
his beer permit unless certain brands
were sold.

Wiggin received from the bank an
additional $4,000 in 1881 as a bonus
on the 1880 business of the bank,
bringing his income from the bank
in 1881 to $320,O00
Ferdinand Pecora, committee coun-
sci, read to Mr.. Wiggin his annual
report for 1880 in which he stated
that high wages do not make pros
perity," and suggested that many
industries can ask their labor to &C
cept moderate reductions of wages
to decrease costs and improve the
buying power of labor"
The lawyer showed that Mr.. Wig
gins salary of $4,000 for 1880 was
increased to $250,000 in 1881.
Mr.. Wiggin, questioned most Of
the day yesterday, was the first wit
ness today.
DO you think under the economic
circumstances existing at the time
that the salaries of executive Of
ficers of the Chase bank should
have been substantially increased in
1880, as they seem to have been?"
Mr. Pecora asked.
That was my conviction at the
time I wrote that report" Mr.. Wig
gin said, pointing out that the re-
port was dated Jan. 13, 1881.
Were there any reductions in the
salaries of your officers in 1892"
asked Chairman Fletcher.

The situation is complicated fur
Their by the fact that the minority
group has shifted the tax burden
with the knowledge and authority
of the supreme taxing power, the
state tax board.
Estimated at a value of $40 000,O 900,
the property of the minority group
is exempt from taxation under the
law which prohibits levying on
property owned by religious, chart
table. educational, or fraternal or
CARNATIONS.
If these properties were to be
taxed at the 1884 rate of S313, they
would produce S1.252,O00, sufficient
to reduce the tax rate by 24.6 cents,
budget authorities estimate.
The fact that none of the $4O,-
100000 property is used by its own
ers for other than income produc-
ing purposes, and is in competition
with business and rental property
carrying a full share of taxation,
makes no difference in its status,
the state tax board has ruled.
The situation created by the
boards broad Interpretation of the
law is exemplif1ed by several cases
which clearly show the inequality
with which the tax load is dis
tributed.
Located at the northeast corner
of Washington and Pennsylvania
streets is the Odd Fellow building.
Assessors figures place its value at
S930,104. which should bring reve-
nue. of more than $4,000
Not One Cent to Be Paid
However, not one cent will be re-
ceived, although more than three
quarters of the building is used for
rental purposes in competition with
other downtown Office buildings.

capable of producing more than
S38 500 in taxes. Again, there is no

from the lease goes to the William

1t was learned from an authori-
tative source that, of the $4,000 an
nual revenue to the foundation from
the lease, s24,90o is paid each year
in interest on the blocks mortgage,
leaving less than $4,000 for chart

bV Iimes Special
GROWN POINT, Oct. 18-The
county grand jury has been called
to meet Thursday to probe admis-
sion of Howard Duncan. former
Northern Indiana Public Service
Company assistant treasurer, that
he has embezzled $1,000 from the
company, and his sensational
charges involving other unnamed
company officials.
Hailed into court by the company
to face charges of embezzling 81. 500.
Duncan calmly i.<ormed the court
the amount was $4,000, adding
that he had a patent" on the
method of abstracting the funds
and would not reveal it. He said
much of the money was lost to race
bookmakers.
Sentence Is Stayed
Sentenced to two to fourteen
years in prison by Judge William j.
Murray, Duncan was given a stay of
execution of the sentence with
hint that he might escape the
prison term if he aided the grand
jury.
He first admitted his speculations
to the company last January, Dun
can told the court, adding that the
company had suppressed the facts
until now because it feared a grand
jury investigation.
Morse Dell Plain, the company
president, denied this inference, ex-
planning the delay was occasioned at
request of the bonding company,
which has repaid 100000 of the loss
The president denied also Dun
cans charges the company was
grossly mismanaged.
Judge Given Evidence
Duncan, who said his peculations
covered six years of his ten years
service with the company, gave the
court a bulky envelope, which his
attorney, Joseph Conroy, Hammond,
said might result in sending several
utility officials to prison and reveal
defrauding of the public on rate
charges.
You should be congratulated for
confessing your crime and not run
ming away to Greece" said Judge
Murray, referring to Samuel insult,
who before his fight to Athens
headed the utility group of which
the Northern Indiana Company is
a part. The utility serves more than
a score Of northern Indiana cities
with gas, electricity and water.
