CENTRAL URIOI! PHOIIE COMPANY IS TAX DODGER?

Members of State Tax Board Sat Up and Took Notice When Independent President Made Charge. BRAILEY PROMISED TO FURNISH PROOF He Alleges Bell People Have $20,000,000 Worth of : Property Which It . Has Failed to Pay Taxes On.

Indianapolis, July 8. The members of the state tax board Bat uo and took Aotloe, , yesterday afternoon, when James S. Bralley, president of the New Long Distance Telephone company, the largest independent long distance company la the state, made the charge that the Central Union Telephone company is a tax dodger, and that it is dodging paying taxes in Indiana on something like $20,000,000 worth of property. Brailey was asked by the board to furnish proof of his statement and he has promised to do " bo. :':. Wants Reduction. , Brailey was asking for a reduction in the assessment of his company at the hands of the tax board. The board this year raised the assessment about $50,000 and Brailey thought It was not justified. The New Long Distance company has several hundred miles of 'lines in the central part of Indiana, radiating from Indianapolis and is the nucleus of the great independent telephone system of the state. It is the largest Indiana competition of the Central Union, which is a Bell comrpany. He argued hat his company

was taxed in proportion higher thaw 'the Central Union, and the members ;of the board were endeavoring to show him from his own statement of capital stock, bonded indebtedness, earnings, etc., when compared with the statement of the Central Union, showed Brailey's company had been fairly dealt with. Not in Statement. ,"But the Central Union's statement does not show that it has borrowed $20,000,000 from the American Telephone and Telegraph company and ' that all of this money has been put into its plant, does it?" Brailey asked. The board said it did not. "It is a fact," Brailey continued, "that the Central Union has borrowed that money and put it into its property." t An examination of the Central Union's statement showed eitem under the head of expenditures of $1,200,000 for "interest and compensation" and "Brailey said that item represents the amount of interest paid last year by the Central Union to the American Telephone and Telegraph company for interest on the borrowed money. It is Important. Secretary of State Sims, who is president of the . state tax board, informed Brailey that this was the first information of that kind the board had ever received, and that it is im portant if true, for it would mean a large increase in the valuation of the Central Union property for taxation. He asked Brailey if he could furnish any evidence of the facts as stated by him, and Brailey said he could and

": would. " '

If Brailey does this it will probably add several millions to the assess ment of the Central Union company, for If the $20,000,000 of borrowed money was put into the Central Union property the property has been in creased in value to that extent. This development, if 1. turns out as it promises, will be of the utmost im

v portance to the independent tele

phone interests of the state. MANY LADS ARE SAD Nearly all the -; newspapers of the state are chronicling accounts of post poned public celebrations of the Fourth of July. In nearly every town some form of celebration had been planned, but the weather interfered with it. In the largest number of cases a display of fireworks was to be a feature.. The mayors of several places have Issued special permits for the belated celebrations. Why it is the best food. "Every test of food values has been applied to Quaker Oats and all of them have shown it to be a perfect human food. Probably the most satisfactory proof of this that any family could have would be the results at the end of a thirtydays' trial where every member of the family ate Quaker Oats twice a day for the 30 days. The improvement in health and strength is astonishing. Try it. . Scientific analyses show Quaker Oats very high in the things that build the tissues of muscle and brain. It contains a high percentage of nourishment and just enough of each element to secure the proper operation of the various functions of the body. . Quaker Oats is sold in two size packages regular size at 10c and large size family, package at 25c,

Health and Beauty Answers By Mrs. Mae Martyn , ;

V. G. M: I have constantly advised against the use of hair. bleaches and dyes. . Even did I favor their use, I would hesitate to give you a formula. I think it perfectly scandalous that you, a woman of 51 years of ' age, should desire to marry a young man 22 years old. And I believe right-mind ed men and women everywhere will agree with me.' I would advise you to forget him and seek a mate more suitable. ' Nellie R.: (1) I think you are fool Ish to worry about a few pounds of extra flesh, but If you fear that your waist line will disappear entirely, go to your druggist and get 4 ounces of j parnotis, take it home and dissolve it ! In a pint of hot water. Take t tablespoonful 3 times a day, before meals. Parnotis makes superfluous fat disappear. The correct weight for a girl 5 ft. 7 in. tall is about 148 pounds. (2) When a druggist tells you that he has not in stock any article I name in these formulas and recipes, tell him he can get it from his wholesaler. I never advise the use of any ingredient that is not on sale in almost every first-class drug store. Jennie S.: If your hair is falling out and your scalp scaly with dandruff, apply this home-made quinine hair tonic once or twice a week and watch your hair grow in long and abundant. Dissolve in pint of alcohol 1 ounce of quinola and add pint of . cold water. Rub well until absorbed by the scalp and hair. ,. Miss Lane: Plenty of good lather is an essential to the success of any shampoo. Some soaps that lather well make the hair brittle and hard. It is better to use plain canthrox for shampooing purposes. Simply dissolve a teaspoonful of canthrox in a teacupful of hot water and stir well until it is all dissolved; then take your shampoo by pouring the mixture on the hair and rubbing in well. It will cleanse the scalp" thoroughly and has a tendency to make the hair soft and fluffy. Mrs. G. P.: If you have a sensitive and soft skin I would advise you to use a complexion jelly instead of cold THE THEATER At the Arcade. Edward Everett Hale's great story, "The Man Without a Country," is being shown in motion pictures at the Arcade the last four days of this week. It's such a remarkable film that the management decided to keep it four days instead of two, as is customary. In one scene a naval battle between Civil War frigates takes place. This is the most remarkable battle scene ever shown at the Arcade and we have had some good ones. Sound effects will be used and we want every one of our patrons to see this most thrilling picture. See it and tell your friends. STADELMANN SAYS MILL LIVES Denies Report He Was Killed By Automobile. On returning home from Greenville, O., yesterday evening, the first friend Ferdinand Stadelmann met greeted him with the remark that he thought he was dead, he having hear l in an up town cigar store that he had been killed in an automobile accident in Greenville. Stadelmann rsplied he "was the livest German corpse he ever saw." The report of Stadelmann's demise was generally circulated and he was kept busy today explaining that the report waa greatly exaggerated. TO The township trustees of the county met with the . county superintendent today to consider bids for furnishing school supplies for next year. The work' is of importance and requires careful attention on the . part of the trustees. COMMUNION SERVICE. Reid Memorial church ;. will hold communion service next Sabbath morning.

He believes that section of the city deserves the same kind of a building as is located in the east, north and south ends, although there is no need for a double barn. He can not see where economy would avail anything In the long run, if applied to the character of the building. He says if Fairview ever grows so as to require the location of a company it can be provided for.

cream. If you wash in warm water always put a , dash of cold water on the face afterwards as this will make the flesh and skin firmer in texture. You can make a complexion cream jelly at home by putting in a fruit jar half a pint of cold water, 1" ounce, of almozoin and 2 teaspoonfuls of gly cerine; stir briskly for a few minutes and let stand until it becomes a thick cream jelly. Use it for massaging and- it will thoroughly cleanse . the pores, and the dust and grime will roll out and off the skin. It removes blackheads, freckles and tan, clears the skin and will make large pores small. You can use this jelly in perfect confidence that it will not cause

the growth of superfluous hair, for while it is soothing and healing and keeps the skin smooth, moist and pliable, it contains no oils or fats. Dolly M.: (1) In addition to causing a headache, a tight neckband will often irive the eyes a dull, "fishy" look. If your eyes lack expression, are dull and lifeless, and there is no strain upon the throat, you apparently need a strengthening eye tonic, which you can make by dissolving 1 ounce of crystos In a pint of water. Drop 1 or 2 drops in each eye whenever needed to keep the eyes bright and shining. This eye tonic will give relief when the eyes are tired, inflamed or sore, and it is an aid to those who wear glasses. (2) Do not sleep in a room with a light burning as it is bad for the eyes. Florence E.: To prepare a complexion beautifier that will make the skin soft, white and smooth, put 2 teasnoonfuls of glycerine and 4 ounces of spurmax in pint of boiling water and let stand until cold. Apply to the hands, forearms and face with the palm of the hand and continue rubbing the skin where applied until dry. Several of my friends have told me that this SDurmax wash is particularly effective for sallow, dark and oily skins. It is much less expensive than ready-manufactured face washes. Myrtle J.: In massaging wrinkles use the tips of the fingers and thumb, always working acrossvthe lines; nev er follow the linels of the creases. LIFE iii ..iEXICO. Where They Bar the Window and Leave tha Doors Open. The City of Me.vico swarms with lite, yet it is still lift. It is the hour of the siesta when you arrive nud the streets are deserted of moving things, though every darkened doorway possesses its own colony of -.lumberers who have cast themselves' down where they stood to sleop away the heat laden hours when uo man works. Even tho very doss slink iato the shadow of. thu dazzling wr.lis and loll pitifully. Tbo tinkle of mu!e bells is hushed. Tiie cry of the unulytecr sounds no longer. To walk through these streets with imperious foot, aft-?r the British fashion, seems sacrilege. One might be walking through a city of the dead. But the hot hours pass, the city awakens, the m ilss strain and plunge at the collar, tbo dogs prowl about be tween the legs of those who pass, the shops are opened, the scent of garlic saturated cookery rises strongly, mantilla shrouded faces peep from ancient casemates protected by nu-.ssive iron bars, and the city of sleep becomes a city of leisurely wakefulness. You no tice these bttrred casemates particular ly. They are a fer.ture of Mexico. Householders bar the windows and leave the doors unfastened, and here yon have an epitome of Mexican character: Do nothing openly, everything on the sly. even to wooing your lady love. You might spend a long lifetime in the City of Mexico and still leave much unseen, there are so many features to note -the actual city life, the life beyond those jealously guarded windows, the life lived in the flower scented patios where cooling fountains play with musical softness. Here comes a va-auero riding nonchalantly up the street, a typical product of Mexico, a cattle hand from one of the outlying ranches, a perfect fury un chained when the liquor of the country Is in him. a gentle, dreamy child when the liquor has evaporated, and yet between the two events he might have committed a dozen murders with out the slightest compunction. His swarthy face is alight with merry laughter. His earrings sparkle in the declining sun. The gay trappings of his magnificent horse fling back daz zling specks of color. In his chaparajos (those fringed overalls which protect the speckless white riding breeches from the dust of the way) his bell buttoned jacket, his sombrero, with the haft of a machete protruding from his crimson sash, he might be a hero of old legend Instead of a com monplace cowboy.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumblingr sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearingwill be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused bv- Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. - We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

AUTO SCORCHING

RECEIVES A RAP Council Orders the Police to Enforce the Observ- "'"' ance of Laws. NO STREET CONGESTION CITY ATTORNEY AND COUNCIL MAN DEUKER OPPOSED TO ALLOWING RIGS TO BLOCKADE THE CITY HIGHWAYS. Reference was made at the council meeting last evening concerning the speed of automobiles and the matter was referred to the police. Judging from expression of council men they believed the state laws and the local ordinance are not being enforced as regards the speed of automobiles and motorcycles. Councilman Deuker said that the operators should use a little "horse sense." City Attorney Study read the state law which provides that an automobile or motorcycle can not be operated faster than eight miles an hour in the business district of any city, or fifteen miles in the resident districts and not to exceed twenty miles in the country. Street Blockading. The matter of. vehicles keeping to the right was als-o referred to. Councilman Deuker objected to rigs and automobiles stopping on Main street for any considerable length of time. City Attorney Study objected to the custom of farmers hitching horses on the side streets and allowing them to remain there for hours at a time. He believes the law providing the streets shall not, be blockaded by persons putting goods on the streets applies to drivers as well. Mr. Study is not in sympathy with strict enforcement of the rule for drivers to keep to the right when in the residence districts. THE BOTTLE CONJURER. An Old Time Hoax That Caused a Riov In a London Theater. In 1748 there appeared in the newspapers of London an advertisement stating that on a certain night a remarkable conjurer would perform in the Haymarket theater. He would, the advertisement rau, borrow a common walking cane from any member of the audience and "thereupon play the music of every instrument now in use." It was also promised that he would take an ordinary wine bottle, place it on a table in the middle of the stage, get into it "in the sight bf all the spectators" and sing while In It. In the same issue of the newspaper was a second advertisement announcing the arrival of Signor Capitello Jnmpedo. "a surprising dwarf no taller than a tobacco pipe." who engaged to perform with and outdo the "bottle con. Jurer," contorting himself In all manuier of shapes and, finally "opening his mouth wide and' jumping down his own throat." This feat, not without reason. Signor Jumpedo descriled as the "most wondcrfr.lest wonder of all wonders as ever the world wondered at." The niprht set for this dual display of "wondcrfnlest wonders" found the theater packed from roof to pit. But ns the time passed and the curtain re mained down catcalls and hisses be gan to be heard. Then a man In the pit stood up and in a calm voice an nounced that if double prices were paid the conjurer would get into a pint instead f a quart bottle. At once the audience realized that they were being hoaxed. Somebody threw a lighted candle into a box. and this was the sigaai for a riot. Benches were torn np and boxes pulled down, while the timid rushed for the doors, with great loss of wigs, hats, swords and canes. Those who remained, re-en forced by roughs from outside, completely destroyed the interior of the theater and finished up by dragging the scenery into the street, where it was burned In a huge bonfire. Nor was the author of this imposture ever discovered, although it was commonly attributed either to an actor who had been discharged or to a mischievous nobleman bent on winning a wager.'

KIHG GIVEII REBUKE Edward Hands a Flat Turn Down to the London Suffragettes.

HE DENIES AN INTERVIEW London, July 8. King Edward today repulsed the suffragettes when he officially refused to grant an interview with their leaders. This may result in turning the war from premier ' Asquith upon the Royal palace - at Buckingham, as the most militant of the snffragettes have already prom ised to do. The suffragettes wrote to the King asking him to receive a deputation. ! They received an answer through the1 Imperial secretary denying the re quest. His Majesty said in the com-" munication that - such action on his part would be unconstitutional. A petition for an amendment to the English must be made through the proper channel, namely the home secre-,-tary, said the King. There is already -rumblings of fiercer warfare than the women have yet waged, but they, are keeping their plans secret. DISGUISES FAILED. Experiences of Emperor Napoleon I. at a Masked Ball. The Emperor Napoleon L once an nounced to his valet that he intended on a certain evening going to a ball at ! the Italian embassy and requested . that complete costumes should be sent ! in advance. The valet. Constant, ; obeyed and atteuded his imperious master and commenced to dress him in a ' manner which might, bad the emperor followed the valet's advice, have de fied detection. Constant bad some trouble with Napoleou over one or two minor matters, but when It came to changing his top boots for shoes the emperor resolutely refused. Going into the ballroom. Napoleon at once relapsed into bis accustomed at titude and. wishing to engage a lady in conversation, approached her with his bands behind his back. To his firsfT question 6he prefaced her reply with "sire." Turning away abruptly, he went back to his room and said: "You were right. Constant. I have been recognized. Give me another costume and shoes this time." The valet redressed bis master and warned him to keep his bands at his side. No sooner bad be entered the room the second time than once more he relapsed into bis natural attitude. This time a lady addressed him, "Sire, you are recognized." Once more the emperor left the room in disgust Returning to his room. Napoleon was disguised for the third time. His toilet complete, he went back to the ballroom, which he entered as if it were a barrack room, pushing and swaggering. He was at once detected, and some one whispered to him, "Your majesty is recognized." Another disappointment and another change, still with the same result, and in the end the emperor left the embassy convinced that it was impossible to conceal his identity. The Mathematical Problem. Little Marion was busy at her "home work." After a great many perplexed frowns and much nibbling at her pencil she looked up and said: "The only answer I can get to this example is 'five and three-fourths horses.' Do you s'pose that Is right, mamma?" "Well, I don't know," answered her mother cautiously. "It sounds rather queer." A long pause; then the small arithmetician's face lit up with a smile. "Oh. I know." she cried; "I'll reduce the ' three-fourths horses to colts!" Woman's Home Companion. Little minds are too much wounded by little things,' great minds see all ad are not even 1. jrt.
