F Attorney Starr Asks State Board to Reduce Road's Assessment. VALUATION WAS RAISED WHEN THE GREAT CENTRAU SYNDICATE BOUGHT THE ROAD THE HOLDINGS INCREASED IN VALUE BUT HAVE FALLEN. 'The Indianapolis News, In its edition last night, said: "Without i a railroad friend in the world,, and with the hand of every man against It, according to Harry C. Starr, of Richmond, attorney for the company,tho Chicago, Cincinnati and (Louisville - railroad, was before the State Tax 'Board yesterday, asking a reduction In Its assessment. This line, which was ormerly the C, It. & M., has had a career so checkered that no one has been able to keep track of It. I "Mr. Starr said that when he appeared before the board two years ago jthe assessment of the road was raised '$1,500 a mile because the line had just leen' bought up by a syndicate composed of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & ;Dayton and the Pere Marquette, jwhlch was known as the Great Central route. This, it was expected, would make the road valuable and if (the deal had not been repudiated by the purchasers this desired end would have been brought about But the 'syndicate finally went into the hands of a receiver, Judge Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, being appointed by the hjnited States Courts as receiver, for both the roads, and Judge Harmon Repudiated the contract and sale and ,threw the C, C. & L back on the (hands of the original owners who are iiiow operating it. "DurineUho'ttme the Great Central Syndicate ' had the road the Cincinnati terminals of the C. C. & L. were idlsposed of by lease and the track .between Cottage Grove and Cinclnlnatl:was practically abandoned, C, C. f& L. trains running into Cincnnatl over the C. H. & D. tracks from Cot,tage Grovo. One train a day was run over the C, C. & L tracks in order to hold the road's franchise. Another stretch of track west from Griffith, Ind., was likewise abandoned because C, C. &. L. trains could run over the Pere Marquette tracks. Outlook Was Encouraging. "There was at that time a rosy prospect for the "Crooked, Rough and Muddy," this has all been changed Blnce the sale was repudiated. Now the road has no entrance into. Chicago not evep a traffic arrangement with any other road for handling its Chicago business. It was left without terminal facilities in Cincinnati because its own property had been leased away, and it has had to arrange for a cheap, temporary terminal in that city. During the last year the operation of the road cost over $100, 000 more than the total income, leaving nothing for taxes or interest. t "In view of all these conditions and the fact that the road is a monqy loser, Mr. Starr asked the board to reduce the assessment and put It back where it was before the increase was made. . ; Hope to Sell Books.

INTEND TO PROBE

THE STATE LIFE State Auditor to Begin Investi gation of Insurance Company's Affairs. STATE AGENCY METHODS THEY TOO WILL COME UNDER THE SCRUTINY OF THE AUTHORITIESPRESIDENT SWEENEY SAYS HE IS SATISFIED. Indianapolis, Ind., July 13. (Spl) Warren Bigler, Auditor of State, will begin next Monday morning to make a thorough investigation of both the State Life Insurance Company and State Agency Company. He will make the investigation of the insurance! company under the provision of the State insurance laws, which give the Auditor of State thfe right to examine any insurance company doing busi ness in the State of Indiana whenever he so desires. The investigation of the State Agency company will be made under the statute providing for the exami nation of voluntary associations and the proceeding in this case will be the same as was adopted by the Auditor of State in his recent investigation of the French Lick Hotel Company and the West Baden Hotel Company. President Sweeney Pleased. Andrew M. Sweeney, president of the State Life Insurance Company, said today that the company is pleased that the Auditor of State has decided to make the investigation. Two new 'members were added to the -board of directors of the State Agency Company at a meeting held yesterday afternoon. They are Jolrn S. Lazarus, former president of the Indianapolis Board of Trade, j and George T. Ewing, president of the Evans Milling Company. George R. Wilson is the only member of the board who remains. While the board was in session the notice of the State Auditor that he intended to investigate the company was served on it. The notice of State Auditor Bigler states that he will appear personally and with assistants at the off.ee of the two companies on Monday, July 16, for the purpose of making the examinations. Mr. Bigler said today that he had not decided on his assistants and that he did not known as yet who they would be. It is likely, however, that James E. Noal, an attorney, who has been assisting In the Investigation of the securities that the life insurance companies have on file with the Auditor of State, will be one of them. Whether the examination will be open to the public is not yet known. Mr. Bigler says the examination of books will necessarily be private, but he can not say as to the examination of witnesses. President Sweeney, of the State Life, says he has no objection to a public hearing. IISAIIITY NOT TO DE THE DEFENSE Lawyers Have Decided on Different tSrounds'on Which to Fight for Thaw. YOUNG MAN IS PLEASED FROM THE FIRST HE PROTESTED THAT' HE WAS IN HIS RIGHT MIND HIS MOTHER REACHES HOME THIS AFTERNOONIPub"lshers' Pressl . New York, July 13. It became known today that Harry Kendall Thaw's defense for killing Stanford White will not be insanity, neither "emotional" nor In any other degree. From a turmoil of doubt which has enveloped this most important phase of the case, it may now be stated on unquestionable authority that the young Pittsburger's trial for his life will be based upon evidence aparfcJ from that of mental derangement. The great legal fight for Thaw's life will assume proportions greater than has been generally supposed. It is said that the elimination of insanity as a defense, a decision reached by the counsel after much deliberation, was the "good news" for Harry which sent Evelyn Nesbit Thaw post haste to the Tombs from the office of Former Judg Olcott yesterday afternoon. Thaw himself, was fairly transported over the tlecision. It was what he has contended for all along stub bornly protesting against any excuse for his act which might establish him as a mental weakling and cast him in a mad house. Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the millionaire murderer, will reach New York on her hasty return from Eu rope, late tomorrow afternoon. The Hamburg American liner, Kaiserin Victoria, from Hamburg on which Mrs. Thaw is a passenger .has been reported by wireless telegraph, SG7 miles East of Sandy Hook, and it is figured that she will reiJi her ' dock about 4:30 Saturday afternoon. As soon as the elder Mrs. Thaw has had an opportunity to see her son and his lawyers, it is expected that cer tain vital phases of the campaign of defense; now. still shapeless, will take on a definite form and purpoa. -

WAS STEALING A RIDE SAID HE HAD GOT IN THE CAR AT CLAY CENTER, KANSAS, AND WAS ON HIS WAY TO PHILADELPHIA. Logansport, Ind., July 13.;-Luck was with Grant Meals, twenty years old, son of a dealer in country produce at Clay Center, Kas., when a broken seal on a refrigerator car attracted the attention of the railroad police in the Wabash yards here yesterday. Noticing the broken seal, the officers opened the car to make an investigation, when young Meals, almost frozen and starved, emerged from the car. But for the broken seal the car would not have been opened until it reached its destination at Philadelphia, and by that time Meals probably would have been dead. The presence of Meals in the car was the strange feature of the case. After being taken from the car and placed on a truck in the sunlight he soon revived and told an unusual story. Asserting that he was the son of a produce dealer at Clay City, he said he conceived the idea of making a trip to Philadelphia in the refrigerator car, which was loaded by his father with eggs for the Philadelphia market. After the car was loaded the boy had several of his father's men lock him inside, provided with provisions, consisting of six bottles 2jjine a lantern, a hatchet and an alarm clock. He calculated that it Tould take four days and nights to make the entire trip to Philadelphia, but when the car reached this city it was already that long on the road, with prospects of not reaching Philadelphia for sev eral days more. Five of the wine bottles were empty ,and a small quan tity of wine was left in the sixth, but Meals was almost famished with thirst. The alarm clock was taken along so that in the darkness he would be able to count the days of his strange journey. When Meals was" taken from the car, the daylight, which he had not seen for ninety-six hours, almost blinded him. He was taken to police headquarters, where a charge of train riding was placed against him, but after he told his stery he was released. Meals was well supplied with money and after recuperating here, left on a passenger train to continue his trip to Philadelphia. Loring Coes Is Dead. fPubllshers Press Worcester, Mass., July 13.

E HAS DEVELOPED The Action Relative to Increased Rates Stirs up NonUnion Companies. COMPLICATED SITUATION. OUTCOME IS PLAIN IN THE MEANWHILE THE PROPOSED INCREASE HAS NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE. As stated in the Palladium a fewdays ago, the local fire insurance un derwriters, announced that the pro posed new advance-rate . schedule would not become effective until af ter the Indiana Board had met. It now developes that a big fight is on between the Indiana Board of Fire Underwriters, the organization of what are known as the union fire insurance companies, and the Indiana league of Underwriters, composed of the nonunion companies in Indiana, over the proposition to increase fire insurance rates on certain unprofitable lines of risks in the State outside of Indianapolis. Not long ago the union organization sent out a notification to all inspectors throughout the State instructing them to put Into effect at once the advance in rates. The Indiana League of Underwrit ers, which was organized only a few months ago, immediately sent out a notice to all agents of non-uiypn companies not to make the increase until they had been further advised. The position taken by the league was that it had as much right to handle the rate question as had the union board, and that it did not propose to be ignored when a schedule of rates was made up. This caused confusion, but the State board did not change its order for an advance. Nothing Accomplished. At the meeting of the State League, held this week, the action of its officers in disregarding the notice of increase was ratified. Then a resolu tion was adopted favoring an advance in the rates on the lines specified in the order of the State board, and that the latter organization be invited to a joint conference on the subject. A joint meeting was held and the matter discussed briefly, but the union board decided that it did not have the power to accede to the demand of the league for joint consideration of the rate question, and the conference broke up without having accomplished anything. This leaves the Are insurance situa tion in the State in a complicated condition. The union companies are bound by the order for the increase in rates, while the league companies can, if they so desire, adhere to the old rates until they decide on further action. A Modern Miracle. "Truly miraculous seemed the recovery of Mrs. Mollie Holt of this place," writes J. O. It. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn., "she was so . wasted by coughing up puss from her lungs.
