STATE HAPPENINGS RECORDED IN BRIEF

NEWS ITEMS FROM ALL OVER INDIANA. PROTEST AGAINST TAX RATE Adams Express Company Seeks Injunction to Prevent Auditor of State Certifying to Valuation of Its Property. Indianapolis, July io.—Suit was filed in the federal court by W. M. Barrett, president of the Adams Express company, against W. H. O’Brien, auditor of state, in which the court is asked to issue an injunction to prevent the auditor of state from certifying to the auditors of counties through which the lines of the company pass the valuation placed by the state tax board on the Adams Express company’s ; property in Indiana.

The complaint sets out that the actual value of the company’s physical property in Indiana is $68,982, while the state tax board placed the valuation at $578,208. In arriving at this latter valuation the state tax board, it is alleged, estimated the value of the express company’s capital steel- to be werth S3BO a share, and then apportioned the valuation of the stock according to the mileage of the company in this state.

The complaint denies the right of the state tax board to make the appraisement in this manner and says that the-board had no right to place a valuation of anything more than the $68,982 worth of actual personal property in the state. The suit is similar to other suits filed by the same company against the auditor of state of the same purpose in the last two or three years and which are still pending in federal court. If the express company wins its suit it will mean a loss of many thousands of dollars .in” taxes to the counties in Indiana through which the company operates its lines.

HARRIMAN’S GIFT WAS TO AID ODELL

Sheldon Tells Senators New Version of 1904 Campaign. NO CASH FOR ROOSEVELT Former Republican Treasurer \Declares Colonel Knew Nothing of Rail Magnate’s Contribution Until After Election. Washington, July 26. —George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican national convention in 1908, told the senate committee investigating campaign funds his version of Edward H. Harriman’s contribution to President Roosevelt’s campaign in 1904. Mr. Sheldon said he knew unofficially that J. P. Morgan & Co. and Henry C. Frick were contributors in 1904. Cornelius M. Bliss was treasurer then, but Mr. Sheldon was associated with him in an unofficial capacity. He could not remember the amounts which the Morgan firm or Mr. Frick gave in 1904, but classed them among the large contributor? to that campaign—in the “over 55,000” class. The books which Mr. Sheldon, as treasurer, kept in 1908 were produced for inspection of the committee. Money Asked by Odell. Senator Paynter introduced the subject of Mr. Harriman’s contribution. He said he had heard it discussed and asked Mr. Sheldon to tell what he knew about it. ’’About two weeks before the election,” began Mr. Sheldon, “Governor Odell, who was state chairman, came to Mr. Bliss, the treasurer of the Republican national committee, and stated that whereas it was perfectly clear that Mr. Roosevelt "would be elected, the state ticket was in doubt. “He asked for some money. Mr. Bliss said he had no money, but he would see what he could do. He went to Mr. Harriman and Mr. Harriman with Mr. Bliss got together some 5250,000, and that money was handed to the state committee and never went into the national committee.” “Wasn’t the contribution a subject of correspondence between Mr. Harriman and Mr. Roosevelt?” asked SenatorPayn ter. ... “No. sir. Mr. Roosevelt never knew anything about it until long after the election.” In Dark as to Missing Letter. “What was there about a letter which disappeared from Mr. Harriman’s files?” “I know nothing about the letter.” “You said that Mr. Roosevelt knew nothing of It until after the election. By that you mean that you have no knowledge of his knowing?” “I had no knowledge.” “Do you know of any contribution in 1904 by anyone connected with the United States Steel corporation?” inquired Mr. Clapp. “It is difficult to answer that; not to my personal knowledge,” replied Mr. Sheldon. He gave similar answers to questions about the tobacco trust, the harvester trust, the sugar trust, Standard Oil, he American Protective Tariff league and various manufacturers as well. Mr. Sheldon referred to his books and said the contributions to the national committee in 1908 amounted to 51,655,518.27. The senate committee has been trying to get former Governor Odell of New York to testify about the Harriman contribution. He may appear later. The committee has not taken up the question of asking Colonel Roosevelt to testify.
