TIMES' BUREAU AT THE STATE CAPITAL. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 30. By a vote of 58 to 37 the house passed the Tingle inheritance .tax bill, and the measure now goes to the senate. This Is the bill that was defeated by one vote in the house two years ago, but since that time a new sentiment in Its favor appeared to have sprung up that put it across. It provides for a tax on Inheritances ranging- from 1 per cent to 5 per cent, according to the size of the inheritance and the degree of relationship of the testator and the

leeratee' It ppmnts inhrltrm hi,- I

religious and ' educational Institutions and also makes small exemptions in the case of widows and children. The farmers of the house showed their strength when it came to a vote on the Isenbarger bill to require county commissioners to appropriate money for county fairs, in all counties where there are county fairs. The bill was amended so as to limit the amount of the appropriation to $2,600 a year. Representative Isenbarger, who introduced the billt is a "telephone" farmer from Wabash county, but he is lined up with the farmers combine in the house because he is a member of the state board of agriculture. When the bill was placed on its passage yesterday afternoon it failed to obtain a constitutional majority and this prevented Its passage, but the bill may be called up again by Its author for another vote. It received 50 votes in favor of passage against 4$ in opposition to passage. One more vote aye would have passed the bill, and the 50 votes is taken as representative of the voting strength of the farmers in the house. Of course, every farmer would be in favor of that bill. - " This is the first . timev the farmers have made a show down of their hand in the house, and it is argued from the strength they have shown that they will be able to defeat all road legislation and all other legislation that does not meet with the approval ' of the farmer element. . . r Senator Grube of Plymouth has Introduced a workmen's compensation bill, rwhlch was prepared by. the Joint committee of the Manufacturers' and Shippers association and the State Federation of Labor. Senator Clarke has introduced employers' liability

'eliatOTVaviEhairintrOTluced a bill

to separate the circuit court of Lake and Porter counties and give each county a separate court- . Representative Thornton has intro

duced a bill to amend the voters' registration law. He proposes that instead of having three registration periods of two days each there shall be but one registration day, and that shall be in October, twenty-nine days ahead f the election. In cities of the first and Second classes if ten voters petition for it the registration may

be extended over another day, making

two days in all, but one day Is all there would be for all other cities and throughout the country.. Provision is made for persons to register at the of

fice of the country auditor. There would be no additional registration for city elections except in cities of

the first and second classes.

A bill for the guarantee of bank de

posits has been introduced by Repre

sentative Weisman. A bill introduced

by Representative Ensle proposes to

extend the term of the present county

suprlntendents for two years.

In the senate a proposition has been started for a revision of the statutes of the state. A bill by Senator Hauck provides for the appointment by the

governor of a commission of two persons to do this work at a salary of $4,000, the commission to make its report at the next session of the legislature. Another bill by the same senator proposes to create a permanent position for an expert on revision of statutes who should make revisions

from year to year. A revision of txe statutes of a state is an enormous undertaking, and it could not be completed in less than two years. A bill practically to do away with dog tax has been introduced in the house. It proposes to exempt the head of a family from tax on one male dog. There was a lively tilt In the house when the Cravens' bill was on second reading. This bill is to permit minors to play pool in places of a philanthropic or educational character. In other words, it would make it legal for minors to play pool in a Y. M. C. A. Representative Sale offered an amendment to make it legal for boys over 18 years old to play pool in any. public poolroom not connected with a saloon. A storm broke over his head when he offered his amendment. Cravens said he would rather -withdraw his bill than have it passed with that amendment. Representative Branaman denounced - the public school poolroom as more .harmful to boys than are the saloons. Sale said he thought a boy of 18 was able to take . care of himself, and that they learned to play pool in T. M. C. A.'s and that this was as harmful as if learned anywhere else. The amendment was defeated.

nue near Parish, engaged In conversation. Two country men, whose identity the three claim not to be aware of, pased, and one of them made a slighting remark which Mackrish took to be personal to himself. The men passed on and Mackrish started to follow

them, calling to his companions to "come on." They made a move in the direction of Mackrish, and the man who was being- followed, evidently thinking he was going to get the worst of it, pulled a revolver and fired. Mackrish sank to the sidewalk, with his hand -to his breast covering the place where the bullet entered, the two who "had started the trouble took to their heels, ecaping in the darkness. ' Some one ran into the saloon at 3491

Michigan avenue and told the bartender that a man had been shot. Those Inside went to the street and a : call for the police- was sent in. Sergeant Hughes was on the desk at the time and he and Officer Ed Shields in ' the auto patrol, sped to the scene. The man was lying where he fell ' when they arrived and it seemed apparent that he was dead. The officers

to Dr. DeLong s office to get some morphine to ease the pain. It was not known that he was addicted to the

drug habit.

Mr. Glues had Just returned from a business i-ip in Detroit with Attorney Harry Guipe. Last evening they went

to George O'Donnell's cafe, 936 Broad

way for supper. leaving that place

at eleven o'clock Guipe and Gilles part

ed and it is presumed that the latter then went to the rooms in the First

National bank building. " REJECT SllCIDE THEORY.

He evidently knew where, the mor-1 phine was hidden. Nineteen grain I tablets were used in the solution that

ended his life.

Mr. Gilles was cheerful last evening

and it is not believed that he took his

own life. A HARVARD GRADUATE.

The dead attorney was 31 years old.

He was a graduate of Harvard uni

versity, class 1902, and a post graduate of the class of 1905. Mr. Gilles was an Elk and until recently was an officer in St. Thomas Council, 1 Knights of

patrol and took it to the office of Dr.

C. C. Robinson. Dr. Robinson pronounced the man dead. His remains . were thereupon conveyed to the undertaking establiiihment of Burns and McGuan. The police had no difficulty in arresting the three who were with Mackrish when the shooting occurred, depending on them for information which would lead to the arrest of the man who did the shooting. Either the three

do not know, or do not wish to inform! on the guilty one and his companion. At 'any rate the police have not thus far succeeded in getting anything out of them which will serve as a clew to discovering his iedentity. They all say "--they saw the man pull the gun, but claim not to know who he was. The police are working on a clew however that they discovered' themselves, and expect to make an arrest soon. They have in mind a man who came to this country only a few weeks ago from the same town in which Mackrish formerly resided. ' He is not in his usual haunts and , they are inclined to believe he may have done the shooting or been the companion of the man, who ran away with him after the murder was committed.

Mackrish was well known to the police, having been mixed up in numerous fights and committed various-misdemeanors which brought him into fre- ' uent contact with the department. Dr. Frederick Sauer performed the autopsy this morning, extracting the bullet which, after passing through the heart, lodged in theback bone. . .

His people live in Webster, Mass.

Mr. Gilles came to Gary In 1906. He

was prominent in athletic circles and

was. a baseball player of considerable

note.

AND SAVE YOUR ENERGY, says tR. Cyril G. Hopkins, soil expert at the Illinois Experiment Station, than continue farming on the plan of taking from and not putting back into the soil those things which are absolutely essential to permanent, successful agriculture. And he proves this statement. But he does more. After showing with irrefutable facts just why the prevailing American method of farming is ruinous, he demonstrates how you can make your farm yield from 30 to 40 more bushels per acre.

while I do not think It is unreasonable

for councilmen to expect decent re-

cepted the office upon the terms that

exist.

"The fact of the matter is this: Mr.

the matter of an expense account, in

councilman several years ago under a

previous administration. He was sore.

The matter had nothing to do with the

couple of years to complete the Fort

Wayne extension as It will require a great, deal of financing. The estimated cost of the project is $5,000,000 How

ever, the phenomental success of the air line in this region, its good service.

and the revenues of the Gary and Inter-

urban, has attracted attention to the company from the big financial centers

and it is believed that the bonding pro

Jects of the new extensions will be

easily accomplished. To Seek Freight Traffics

One thing that the air line is going

after when it gets its line completed to Fort Wayne and that is freight. It sees vast possibilities and profits also In Interurban freight. Railroads get 80 per cent of their receipts out of freight while interurban lines take in but 7 per cent freight receipts. While that is a few years away, yet the completion of the Fort Wayne extension will see the air line building eastward over Into the Ohio then to the Pennsylvania state line. It ultimate goal is New York. Air Lime la Control. Stockholders in the -various companies merged Into the Gary and Int.ri urban Railroad company will exchange their old stock for the new stock. The

Gary and Interurban railway, however,1 will maintain its corporate identity as

its directors authorized a $10,000,000

bond issue of which the first series,

$1,000,000 has been sold, so and the continuance of the corporation's existence is necessary for a while.

The controlling Interest In the Gary

be held by the air line corporation. Continuance if its corporate identity will be made by the Co-operative Con

It is understood that Gus Kamradt is out of the race for the office of treasurer on account of the demands of his business in Hammond which he and his brother recently took over. Kamradt has been a credit to the office, and has the confidence of the people of the city. It Is generally regretted that he will not run again, for It Is conceded

-

that he added strength to the ticket. The report that he will not rcn has not been confirmed by him.

May Opsone Kats. . Jacob Katz, who has not been Identified with the reform element of the

administration, has nevertheless been

an efficient public official. It Is understood that he will run again, but whether or not the reform administration will put up ' a candidate against him will develop as the campaign progresses. Just what the plans of Mayor Wosczynski are In regard to the city attorneyship are not known at this time. If Katz makes jieace with the mayor it is possible that there will not be a candidate In the field against him. Judge Green will -run again. It Is understood, in spite of the fact that he is reported to be in line for a choice plum at the hands of Governor Dunne. Judge Green Is in Chicago today and could not be Interviewed on the subject Four f-onncllmen to Ran.

Of the councilmen four will hold over for another year and four will

and Alex Kowalski will have to run again but have made' no announcement

of their intentions. ,The rest of the offices are appointive and the question as to who will fill them will be determined by the outcome of the coming election. The reform element has a splendid organization and that it is pretty well intrenched in Its position in West Hammond. Apparently "everybody except the divekeepers are satisfied with way things are going and this makes it

apparent that the present administra

It does not pay to take chances with smallpox and with the patients quarantined in their own homes, it would be necessary to keep an officer stationed at each of the houses, In order that we
