INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 10. Governor Goodrich announced Tuesday the appointment of John J. Brown, of Rockport, and the re-appointment of Philip Zoercher, of Indianapolis, as members of the state board of tax commissioners. The commissions of both will be dated Dec. 1. The appointments are for four years. Mr. Brown is a farmer and attorney of southern Indiana. He is a ricepresident of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations and has been active in the work of organization. He is president of the Brown Trust company, Rockport, and a member of the Spencer County Bar association. Mr. Brown and his brother own 1.100 acres of farm land, of which 900 acres are farmed under Mr. Brown's personal supervision. Takes Cragun's Place Mr. Brown is a Republican and takes the place of Strange N. Cragun, of Lebanon, on the board. He has been prominent in the affairs of his community, serving as postmaster of Rockport and as Republican county cbairaan in several campaigns. Mr. Zoercher, who is the Democratic member of the board, was first ap

pointed in 1918. He was reporter of the supreme court from 1913 to 1917. In 1916 Mr. Zoercher was a candidate fur re-election as reporter on the Democratic ticket, but was defeated at the election. Fill Important Posts The appointments are the most important to be made by Governor Goodrich during the remainder of his term of office. The tax board, which has charge of the supervision of the new tax law, is regarded as one of the most important commissions in the statehouse and its actions have been the center of many activities of the present state administration. Members of the tax board receive a salary of $4,000 a year. Fred A. Sims, chairman, is the third member of the board. The appointment of Mr. Sims as a member of the board does not expire until Sept. 1. 1921. Mr. Cragun, who retires as a member of the board, was appointed by ex-Governor Ralston. He has announced plans for an extended vacation trip following his retirement from the state service. OLD ROAD SECTION IS ORDERED CLEARED The board of works Monday ordered F. E. Slick to remove dirt and debris which he had dumped on a section of the old national road, leading west from South First street, and Isaac Smith, bridge contractor, who may have unwittingly dumped waste material on the stretch of highway, also was ordered to remove it. The action of the board followed a complaint of the Starr Piano company and the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company, that the dumping of dirt on the road had blocked free access to their properties by fire department in case of an emergency. Attention was called to the peril of the situation when it was shown to the board that a short circuit recently caused a large blaze in the power house, which was put out by a fire extinguisher.' If the flames had gotten beyond the control of the employes, the fire department could not have gotten to the building. City Engineer Davis was instructed to stake out the road in its original position.

INVESTIGATE PILLAGE OF FAMOUS RESORT BY RAPACIOUS TURKS

. (By Associated Press) CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10. Pillage by the Turks of the Imperial Russian watering-place of Abbas Touman in the Caucasus mountains, is beine

investigated here. A large quantity, of the furnishings and paintings belong

ing io ine luxurious villas or tnia little city, where many of the aristocracy of Russia used to pass their vacations, has been discovered in Constantinople. Some of these furnishings, are in the palace of Enver Pasha, formerly the Turkish War Minister, on the Bosphorus, now occupied by the French general staff. The pillage of Abbas Touman is one of the untold stories of the rapacious Turkish pashas and generals. Abbas Touman is unknown outside of Russia. Yet It was one of the little paradises with which countries lying near the Black Sea are blessed. Nestling in the mountains of Georgia, it possessed one of the beautiful and lengthy driveways for which the Caucasus is famous. During the hot summer months the Imperial Russian family used to pass a few weeks among the pines of this rich center of museums, villas and churches. Amazed at Riches. Up from the beautiful roads: from Batum to Tiflis, came in the spring of 1917, the Turkish army, following the retreat of the Russian army, which had gone bolshevik. The Turks were amazed at the riches of Abbas Touman. The commandant of the 31st brigade sealed up all the valuables he could find. Then came the signing of the treaty by which Abbas Touman was left to Georgia. No sooner had the Turkish com mander learned of this treaty than he gathered up, before leaving, all valuables and hurried them to Batum. He notified Essad Pasha at Constantino

ple that this booty should be offered to the Sultan. Meanwhile, as his army withdrew, it is charged that he systematically robbed churches and con

vents ana sent tnese treasures also to Batum. Two other Turkish commanders are alleged to have shared in the loot. Finally the three men sent their relative shares to Constantinnnlp

when Enver Pasha demanded to have

a iook at me tnree lots. As Minister of War, he took his choice and sent some of the furniture and pictures to Kouroutschesme, his marble faced palace on the Bosphorus, where they still remain.

The baths will be somewhat less gorgeous than the original plan anticipated, but in their luxury and completeness will still have claim to comparison with private club Installation.
