CORRECTED REPORT IS SENT TO LOCAL COURT SuprciiM' Court Kovcrxtl Jiulgc I 'link's I)txii(ii in Iuul Tax CilM'. It was learned Tuesday morning that tho report of the decision of the supremo court in th eas of taxing of land contracts was erroneous. The lirst report sent to the su. Joseph county clerk stated that the supreme court sustained the decision of JudK Funk before whom the test case was tried out in the circuit court two years ago. A correction was sent Tuesday morning, and it was learned that the decision of the lower court had been reversed. Tho ca.se which has created so much attention was that of Warner Wlso vs. Fred W. Martin, county treasurer. Counsel for Mr. Wise secured an injunction enjoining the county treasurer from levying on the land contracts held by their client. Judge Funk decided that such land contracts were not taxable, and Fred Woodward, then county attorney, appealed the case. Tho case taken into the supremo court is one which has often been brought to the attention of county oilicials, but has never been tested out until Mr. Wise took the matter into court. There has never been a decision before in Indiana touching upon this question. The attorney for Mr. Wise advanced the contention that the treasurer had no authority to collect the tax under the statutes.

Defense Attorney Says Side Was Ready to Prove How State Spent Its Money For Witnesses. JURY WILL NOT GET CASE TILL WEDNESDAY Reading of Instructions at Bell Trial is Expected to Consume About Two Hours. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. Although all tho arguments in the trial of Mayor Bell, charged with election conspiracy, will be completed before court adjourns today, the jury will not get the case until Wednesday noon. Judge Eichhorn intimated that his instructions to the jury will consume a.bout two hours of tho court's time Wednesday forenoon. Henry N. Spaan for the defense and Pros. Pucker occupied tho tloor today. With the court room packed and standing room in the galleries crowded, Henry N. Spaan made the closing argument for the defense this forenoon. Spaan opened Iiis argument by referring to Pros. Pucker's statement that it vvaü necessary for th state to spend money to obtain witnesses. "Where are the witnesses'.''' demanded Spaan. " 'IJig Chief O'Leary testified he spent $!.r0 for lä drinks to buy votes, but the state's investigators said he spent money for drinks for William Pettlt, got him drunk and then took him to the prosecutor's office. After that they spent money for a pair of pants for William Clark and provided him with a woman for companionship." The rest of the story. Spaan declared, was kept from the jury by Pros. Poach and Kueker, while Charles W. Miller, counsel for the mayor, stood with a pile of telegrams in his hand to prove how the state had spent money for witnesses. Proeviitor Objects. Special Pros. Poach objected at this point, accusing .Spaan of going outside the records. Spaan replied by stating instances in Poach's speech where the latter had gone outside the record. paan asked why Thomas Taggart had been drawn into the ease when there was no proof that Taggart had collected $1.00 0 from the brewers. Spaan paid a high tribute to Taggart, saying ho never denied a deserving man. Spaan said that when the unspeakable Nugent came to Taggart for aid the Ptate tried to make capital out or it. He said whenever a witness came from Terre Haute another man came from that city to ask him questions, and he referred to Hoach as "Foul Mouthed" Poach. There was general laughter when Spaan in his high-pitched voice quoted from William Pettit's testimony and asserted that the prosecution had found that in the cases in federal court a "wrecking crew" was necessary ami the prosecution attempted to frame a "wrecking crew" in the Pell trial. Spaan mentioned tho names of many of the state's witnesses, to whom he sarcastically referred as being of "high character." HOLD WOMAN AS LOOKOUT CHICAC.O. Oct. 12. Joseph Dropski, a watchman employed by the Belt railway, was shot and seriously wounded today by a man whom he said he found rilling a freight ear. The man escaped, but detectives arrested Mrs. Antonio Villila. who was believed to have been acting as a lookout for the thief. TWO-THIRDS OF TOWN DESTROYED FLAMES NFAVPOBT. Vt.. Oct. ll'.
