Owing1 to the high 'wind yesterday, none of the golfers who are to take part in the annual tournament of the Columbus Golf and Country Club were willing to play and this bunches the entire playing for to-day.

The wind this morning' put a kink in the hopes of the players who had hoped to smash the record and it was also decided to only play nine holes instead of eighteen, as was previously announced. A' number of players who had intended taking part balked at the last minute but there were enough entries to- I day to make things interesting. The. finals will not be ilayed off be fore evening and the winner of the cup will not be known before that time.

FINALLY ADJOURNS Members Had Plenty to do Throughout the Session. QUESTION AS TO AUTOS Assessments Were Added In Some Cases While in Others the Automobiles Were Included in Personal Property. The present Bartholomew county board of review is no more, the board having met this morning, signed the minutes and adjourned for all time to come. A glance' through the. minutes which have been kept by County Assessor Emmons shows that the board has not been idle.

Since its first meeting it has added several thousand dollars to the tax schedules of the county and while there have been some reductions, there was not nearly as much complaint this year as there was last year, and not nearly so many reductions. Automobiles have bothered the board considerably becau it was not sure Just how these machines ought to be ssessed. In some cases the automobiles were given in with the rest of the personal property but in other cases they overlooked and then the board had to take action. Frank T. Crump, was assessed $100 ad ditional on an automobile and the board then found that he did not own the machine, so the assessment was removed.

Francis T. Crump, was also assessed an additioal $150 for owning an auto, but he was able to show to the board that he did not have hi3 new machine until after the first of March and 1 he had already been assessed on the old one, so the assessment in his case was also removed. William H. Lincoln had $250 added to' his schedule because he owned an automobile and John Beatty had $200 added to his list These assessments were left as they were made by the board. There has been a great deal Jf discussion about the auto question in counties because some of the assessors were not content to allow a man to give in a machine at $150 when he wanted it assessed.

In a number of ases the original cost price of the machine was taken by the assesor and the man who owned it was assessed the ful! amount. MNOR FOR MARTIN Young Man Well Known Here to Undertake an Important work for Indiana School. Paul Martin, of Chicago, who initiated the local chapter of the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity has bee asked by the University of Notre Dame Jto prepare a nfteen thousand word treatise on Celtic literature. It is to embrace an elementary and concise history of the literature of Ireland, its rise and decay, and then to treat at length on its revival in America. This is a particular line of literary research that Mr.

Martin has closely followed for over five years and while there are many works being published to-day in regard to the subject they are of such an elaboarte and technical nature as to make them almost in accessible to the average student who wishes to gain merely a superficial knowledge of that line. Through several magazine articles Mr. Martin has become recognized as ona of the best authorities in the west on Celtic literature, he having an excellent reading and fair speaking knowledge of the Gaelic language. Through this he has been asked to prepare the work. The essay will be published in book form and used as a text book at Notre Dame and probably at other colleges where such a course is given.

The local chapter of Phi Delta Kappa will probably entertain Mr. Martin some time during the fall months. He has attended Northwestern Military Acadamy, University of. Notre Dame and Indiana University; He is well known here. Thursdayyening atjfthe corner of Eighth and SycaTtreets the ladies of St.

NO FSB TO FISH Iu Michigan, the Mecca this year of In- diana Tourists as in Tears Pait. Positive information received from Michigan authorities states there is no truth whatever in a report that an annual fee of $25 or any other fee is to be imposed on non-resident fishermen in Michigan. A rumor of such a Jaw having been passed in Michigan Js stamped as absolutely without foundation.

The origin of this false report is traced to talk current last winter whena question was raised in legisla tive proceedings concerning the sub ject, but no action taken, legislators not deeming such a measure advisable. Nothing further has been done, and tourists from Indiana are assured that they need not forego their customary outing to Michigan resorts this summer on the score of being con fronted by a tax collector, for there are none such to bar the way. judging irom tne many inquiries already received by W. W. Richardson, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, Indianapolis, regarding Michigan resorts and the famous fishing, there will be more than the usual number of Indiana tourists enjoy their summer outing in those health and pleasure havens where neither -'hay tfever nor fishing fees exist," Sunday Ezcmrsioa Madison.
