WAYNE WAISTS THE PRESIDENT TO DEDICATE C01RTH015E.. The Aid of Senator Fairbank and Dererldee Will Re Enlisted Visitors at the Hotel. James M. Barrett, former state senator from Allen county and the author of the Uarrett improvement law. was at the Ho t" English yesterday. With Lieutenant Governor Gilbert. Mr. Rarrett called on Senators Fairbank and Bevertdjre in refer ence to the dedication of Fort Wayne's handsome new courthouse. The Fort Wayne people. Irrespective of political j-arty. have an idea they would like to have the President of the United States help dedicate their bulldlnsr. It was with a view to extending an Invitation to President Koosevelt that the call on the senators was made yesterday. It Is the plan to have the President stop at Fort Wayne next Sep tember while on his Western trip. He will fry through Indiana and the Fort Wayne people are willing to arrange their exer cise to suit the convenience of the Presi dent. It will hrst b ascertained whether cr not he will be willing to stop at Fort Wayne. It is felt that if the Itinerary is not so made up that it cannot be changed he will consent to take prt in the Fort Wayne dedication. The event will smack f politics in no way, Mr. Barrett says. The building has been erected by the peo ple, and although the county ia Democrat ic, the Republicans will have an equal share in the dedicatory exercises. "I think there is no finer courthouse anywhere in the country." said Mr. Barrett yesterday. The buildinjc will cost Allen county about $V.OoO completed. It is practically com plete now and is being occupied. Two ad ditional court rooms have been put in the building, one of which will be devoted to relics and documents that are associated with the earlier history of Fort Wayne. One of the valuable relics will be a bed that belonged to General Anthony Wayne. The bed is in Washington, but the Daugh ters of the American Revolution are ar ranging to have it brought to Fort Wayne and placed in the courthouse. ARTILLERY PRACTICE. Ratterlr of National (iaanl Will HrtTi It In Parke County. The rirst week in September the hills Along the Wabash river in Parke county will echo and re-echo with the tiring of fceavy artillery. MaJ. F. K. Stevenson, of Jtockvllle, who was at the Grand Hotel last night, says that arrangements are making for the three batteries of the In diana National Guard to go on the range for some heavy firing at the time named. Major Stevenson is at the head of the First Regiment of Artillery, which includes all the batteries in the State. Battery A is located at Indianapolis, Battery It at Fort Wayne and Battery C at Atlca. Thi will he the first real target practice the batteries f this State have ever had. It fact the only regular tiring the batteries have had 'was when the Indianapolis artillery was in Porto Rico. The target practice this fall will be with three and two-tenths-inch pieces and with HoUhkiss rapid-firing guns. A range has been selected ne;r YWst Lnlon. Parke county, on the Wabash river The range will be about three thousand yards, the tiring to be done across the river 'The targets wtl be placed on a sand hill 151 feet in height. "As we are arranging things there will he no special danger to. the people of th locality." said Major Stevenson last night. Of course the people of the neighborhood will be informed of what we are about to do an 1 we will have guards stationed In pits. We will alio have a system of signal ing between the targets and the guns. The rlace we have selected fur the rang is r situated that it will not ! nftrssary for us to fir across a railroad track or a country road. Of course If all the.se precau tions were not taken there would be very great danger." Major Stevenson saxs that Adjutant Ueneral Ward is expeoie! io at tend and perhaps Hrigacuer general M Kee. The men of the battery are looking forward to the exent with a great deal of Interest. I 1U.!N; L. J. KIHKI'VTRirK. Democrat Want Hint to Hint for ( on- jcreaa In the Mntli District. Former Judge L.

Strong influence is bting brought to bear on Mr. Kirkpatrick to have him accept the r.omination. HU Democratic friends have the fart in mind that he was elected judge in a Judicial district that was strongly Re publican and they have also been listening to some of the .stories about soreness against Representative Landis In some parts of the district. Mr. Kirkpatrick has heard some of the talk about disaffection In Hamilton county. "Some of the Republicans over there," he said, "sent word to me that they nominated me for Congress in the district the day after the Kokomo convention. I have been Invited to go over to Noblesville and in vestigate the situation myself, but have not gone." Yesterday Mr. Kirkpatrick had a conference with J. O. Henderson, formerly of Kokomo. and Samuel M. Ralston, a Dem ocratic leader of Lebanon. They both urged him to make the rac. pointing out that he could not afford to decline the nomination. Some time ago Mr. Kirkpatrick received a letter from Committeeman Livingood. of the Ninth district, in Which he was asked if he would accept the nomination for Con gre. He replied that his business affairs would not allow him to accept. Mr. Kirk patrick said the Ninth district committee was to hold a meeting at Frankfort last right to flx the time of their convention, and he was Invited to be present but could not. Will Orgnnlie rinmlHnn Clnh. Eds. 1 E. Neal. of Noblesville. who was one of the unsuccessful candidates for the nomination for clerk of the Supreme Court before the Republican State convention, was here yesterday. He says Hamilton county ia to have a new Republican organ ization, to be known as the Hamilton Club. It will be a permanent club, he says. Ham ilton county took its name from Alexander Hamilton, and this new club will also be named after the great Federalist. "We can organize a strong club in our county," said Mr. Neal "In lh Hamilton county had a McKinley Club of l.OcO members, and in l'joo we had a .marchlr g club of 900 mem bers who came here the night Roosevelt was in Indianapolis and took part in the parade." One of the features of the new club will be to celebrate the anniversary of Hamilton's birth. Estimates Damage at 91,000,000. I. S. Jackson, of Greenfield, who was in town last night, told of the terrific force of the storm that passed through parts of Hancock county some time ago. "The newspapers.", he said, "did not make it nearly so bad as It was." He estimates that, aside from the loss of life, a million dollars would not more than pay the dam age in Hancock county. "I know of a field of corn of thirty acres." he said, "that at the time of the storm was as high as one's head. It was almost mowed to the ground. and the field is worth nothing." Roof Garden Nights. The Columbia Club's roof garden will be open to both men and women on Tuesday and Thursday nights of each week in the months of July and August. There was a liberal attendance on Tuesday night of this week. The club has engaged Klausmann's orchestra for the roof-garden season. ASSESSMENT OF BANKS DR. JAMES CARTER APPEALS FROM nOARD OF IlEYIEW. The Six National Dank of the City Affected Will Re Reviewed by State Tax 'Board. The action of the of the County Board of Equalization in its assessments of the bank ing institutions of the city will be reviewed by the State Board of Tax Commissioners An appeal from the action of the Board of, Equalization was taken in the case of six banks yesterday by Dr. James Carter, who brought the appeals to Deputy Auditor Shepard, accompanied by Romus F. Stuart, an attorney. The appeals filed were against the six largest banking houses of the city. None of the trust companies was Included. The bunks whose assessments were appealed from, and the amount assessed against each for taxation are: American National $'."4.öoo 7S.3 Capital National .. Columbia National 210.4' 7"0.l0 P'O.ci) 901, 460 Fletcher National . Indiana National ... Merchants" National The Board of Initialization, in fixing these amount., did jo by adding the capital stork, surplus and undivided profits of the banks, as shown by their statements, and making the assessment 70 per rent, of the eggre gate. This was done because the general theory of all the assessing here is to reach the 70 per cent, basis and it was felt that this would be equaliiing. When the assessments were made State Tax Commissioner I'arks M. Martin visited Township Assessor Jefferson and Auditor Smith and wanted an appeal taken from the action. He held that the proper basis for fixing the assessment was the market value' of the banks' stock. Mr. Jefferson ex plained why the amounts had been fixed, but Mr. Martin thought this an inadequate method. He said at the time that the state board would have a chance to review the case and suggested that the assessor make the appeal himself. Mr. Jefferson said he was satisfied with the assessments. .ludtce of Iloone Clrrnlt Court. At the Governor' offlee yesterday a com mission was l.-sned to William A.

Wilson, of the United Mine Workers, returned yesterday from West Virginia, where he had gone to vio late a federal injunction which was intend ed to prohibit miners from holding meet irjrs. Mr. Wilson went prepared to be ar rested, believing that the injunction could not be enforced. He held meetings and talked until he was so hoarse that he was scarcely able to speak above a whisper yes terday and was not molested. His theme at the meetings was injunctions, which he denounced without mincing words. He said he was threatened and warned not to hoid any meetings, and deputy marshals and company constabulary gave notice that they would arrest him as he entered one of the hall. but they failed to put their threats into execution when he arrived. Mr. Wilson said he heard of the plan and had matters arranged so that if he was ar rested, some one else would hold the meet ins. If the second speaker was arrested, a system of relays was established, so that the officers would have to arrest about all the miners at the meeting to prevent It One open-air meeting, attended by more than 2S) people, was held without inter ference.

WILL BE MANUFACTURED HERE THE COMP.WY HAS A CAPITALIZA TION OF 11.150,000. Before Capital Was Inrested In the Enterprise the Opinion of Ex perts Was Secured. The Columbia Voting Machine Company, of Indianapolis, received information yes terday that its device had successfully passed the examination of the Indiana com mission for examining voting machines. Mr. A. R. Thompson, a mechanical en gineer, secretary of the commission, which 1m composed of Hugh Dougherty, of Bluff- ton; Frank L. Powell, of Madison, and Mr. Thompson, officially announced that at a meeting of the commission, held on July 7 for the purpose of examining the Columbia machine, after an exhaustive study and ex amination of the device th commission found that It passed on all points. Mr- Thompson says, the board found that the device fulfilled the complete requirements of the law applying to the examination of such machines, as well as conforming to the stringent rules and requirements of the commission itself. Since the passage of the law by the last Legislature, which is probably the first of any passed by the several States, mak ing It impossible for any machine to pass unless its construction is such as to abso lutely prevent a voter from casting a bal lot that is either fraudulent or mistaken in the least particular, no machine ha been able to pass except the Columbia and one other, 0 the Indiana test is the hardest in the United States. It 1 a notable fact that out of two or three hundred completed machines which have been presented to the boards in various States only a few have been passed. v A SIGNAL SUCCESS. The Columbia machine, among its many points, has gained signal success in being able to meet the requirement of voting the entire fifty-four candidates that may at the presidential election be presented In Marion county. No other machine passed by any board in this country could meet this re quirement. This large, .perfected machine is the one that passed the board, but the machine is so constructed as to make It adaptable to smaller, and. indeed, anv kind of conditions at elections. Among the numerous machines that have been projected in thia State and elsewhere this machine especially interested some men of this city who emplos-ed mechanical en gineers for the purpose of determining its worth, prior to investing enough to com piete tne original costly structure. Upon the report of these engineers the machine was constructed and proved successful The inventor of the machine is C. Chris tiansen, who has spent the last seven years in the study and making of a practical. simple voting machine. During this period Mr. Christiansen has invented several suc cessful machines suited to limited ue but has held to his purpose to complete a maenme tnat would not only meet the severest requirements but contain many ad ditional features, which his long study of the art had discovered and are now em bodied in this device. The corporation owning the patents is capitalized-for UV),, gome of the larger stockholders-are S. C. Mastick, a New Yotk lawyer; . G. Uenshaw. a banker In San Francisco; George W. Reed and E. Nus baumer, lawyers, in Oakland. Cal.; H. II orth, immigration commissioner of Call fornia; John B. Cockrum. James M. Wood and Dr. Franklin W. Hays, of Indianapolis. LOCAL MANUFACTURE. me airectors or tne company held a meeting yesterday and decided to manu facture the device in this city. A liberal Ainoum vi capnai win De invested in a factory, enabling the company to get out large orders promptly and to employ rep resentatives to present the device through out the country. A mechanical engineer said yesterday 11 A. A 1 t . mai me macnine was so simpij' con structed that it would withstand any sort of unskilled handling and rough usage without damage and that the wearing parts of the machine would last a lifetime. The machine is so constructed as to make it Impossible for a voter to either defraud or make a mistake, and contains many features which go farther than the re quirements of the board and will do much towards solving conditions which have heretofore been unforeseen. The company says that it has estimates upon the cost of manufacture which will enable them to put the machine upon the market at a much less cost than any machine thus far passed. The machine completely protects the voter in an absolutely secret ballot. For the past several months Arthur M. Hood, a patent attorney and also a mechanical engineer. graduating from Rose Polytechnic, has been the company's expert and attorney. He says that his study of the act as ap plied to voting machines allowa him to stale to the company that this device is protected by its patents. Representative Overstreet. Robert A. Brown. A. A. Young. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert, saw the demonstration of the machine yesterday and were enthusiastic in their approval of it.
