TIMES Bl'REAtl AT STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 20. If the state board of tax commlslsoners can bring it about the federal court will be asked to Investigate the financial tangles and mysteries cf the Adams Express company and the manipulations and practices of Wall street, and determine why It Is that the stock of the Adams Express company is quoted at $150 to $300 a share while it is paying straight dividends of 8 per cent in addition to frequent cash dividends, with now and then the cutting of an immensely juicy melon which runs up into the millions. If such an inquiry is made it will have to be on the part of the court, but the state board hopes

to make such a showing as will cause

the court to order an Investigation

investigating the affairs of the Stand

sessed a fine of $29,000,000.

The state tax board will make Its

showing when the cause of the com

plaint for restraining order against the

auditor of state to prevent his certify

ing to the counties to Adams Express company assessments of 1909 and 1910

to the county auditors for collection purposes. The assessment each year was fixed at $455,000 for the company's property in Indiana, but neither year's valuation has been certified out to the countes for collection. The appraisement was reached by the state board on evidence of the earnings of the company, while the company con. tended that the value should-be fixed

according to the New York stock exchange quotations on the stock of the company. . The board found that 8 per cent annual dividends had been declared since the company became a national carrier; that it frequently declared big cash dividends, and that in 1S98 it took $12,000,000 out of the surplus fund which had been created out of the enormous earnings of the company and distributed it to the stockholders; that it took out another $24,000.000 nine years later and distributed it among its stockholders in the same way ,and that it now has on hand an

other $20,000,000 to 'take out and distribute. All of this is after the regular 8 per cent dividend has declared year after year. The company is cap!-;

talized with only 120,000 shares at a par value of $100, and the state board is inclined to think that the earnings are sufficiently large to have the market quotations of the stock far above the figures quoted on the New' York stock exchange, if there is any use at all in having the stock quotations except as a method of keeping the public in ignorance of the true value of the stock. It is hinted that there has been stock market manipulation behind the quoted prices of the stock. There have been no real exchange of stock in recent years and no bonafide offers to

sell. There has been enough show of

sales to give some semblance of faith to the stock exchange figures, but no

deals have actually been carired out. The company contends that the state tax board, in fixing its values for assessment purposes, should go according

The Calumet township democratic

ticket had its third large hole punched into it this morning when C. J. Wil

liams sent in a letter to Township

Chairman Gibson stating that he declined to accept the advisory board nomination thrust upon him.

Mr. Williams has good reasons for his action. He is a republican and was much surprised when he learned that the democratic party had put him on its ticket. Late last month the democrats of Gary and the rest of the township named their ticket. It was previously prepared by Mayor Knots, who selected the delegates himself ,and although the rest of the faithful kicked, it did them no good. However, since then they have had the delectation of seeing three of the candidates drop oft. Otbern Who Qnlt. One of them, R. R. Jansen, the Ridge road saloonman, was nominated for justice of the peace on Mayor Knotts ticket, but Mr. jansen declined the honor, as he, too, is a republican. Attorney L. I. Gottlieb, who was also nominated for a Judicial position, was forced off the ticket by the mayor, after his nomination had raised a rumpus among the delegation headed by A.

Levi, the tailor, who also desired to be a justice. The result was that Gott

lieb's friends got "sore" and the Levi

aggregation swear that they will not vote the democratic township ticket. Mr. Williams' letter of declination was sent this morning. It is to the point and reads as follows: A Pointed Letter. Glen Park, Ind., Oct. 20, 1910. Mr. Walter Gibson, Chairman Calumet Township Democratic Central Committee. Tolleston, Ind. "Dear Sir I hereby tender my resignation for the nomination as a member of the township advisory board. I was nominated at your convention, held some time during the month of September, in the hall at Tenth avenue and Broadway, without being present or did I instruct or authorize any of the delegates or any other person to place my name before the convention for the said office. "Give this matter your attention at once and see that my name is not placed upon the democratic ticket, as I absolutely decline the acceptance of this nomination. "Sincerely yours, "CHAS. J. WILLIAMS."

when he failed he was once more ar rested.

The latest harrassing began Tues

day evening shortly after de Pyloit re

that evening two uniformed officers of the Gary police force entered his place

and ordered drinks. They then went to a rear room and asked for more and

a light lunch. This was given them.

When 11 o'clock arrived de Pyloit turned out the lights in the saloon part

and closed the doors, and stepped Into the rear room wafting for the police

after 11 ' o'clock Sergeant Jenkins ac

GARY GEIS BIG TURN FOR

LIBRARY

With the exception of the city of

Indianapolis, Gary has received more money for library purposes than any other city in the state according to

Librarian William M. Hepburn of Pur

due University who delivered the open

ing address at the annual convention

of the Indiana Library association.

There are now 137 trained librarians in Indiana, Mr. Hepburn said, and 223

"traveling" libraries of 8,100 volumes.

The speaker said Andrew Carnegie

has given almost $250,000 " to "build

libraries in the state last year. Ind

anapolis by its gift of $120,000 for six

branch libaries, received more than any other single city, while Gary, with a gift of $50,000 was the next fortunate. President Hepburn made an appeal for

co-operation among the librarians of the state. He informed the delegates

that out of 177 members of the associa

tion only 28 per cent had attended

three or more meetings. Tonight

there was a reception for the visiting

librarians at the Oliver Hotel.
