bill for taxing the railroad companies Of

way than the method Of taxing them on
their property, whose value it is difficult
to determine. The estimated product Of
the tax is 81 ,O00,0O)a var. The Illinois

WARRINGTON, May Alt will be
remembered that Mr.. j. b. Kinds,
who figured prominently in the ex-
posure OF the Star-ronte scandal,
gave information some time ago to
Dlstrict-Attorney Corkhill of WASH
ington, that j. b. Price, the con.
tractor on the route between Las
Vegas and Albuquerque, had only
partially fulfilled his contract in
that he was carrying the mail over
one route while drawing pay for
carrying 1t over another and longer
route. The charges were at last
brought to the notice of the depart
ment through letters from Mr..
Charles +. Mclean, of New York,
who acted as Hinds' attorney. Cork
hill claimed that he wrote to Post.
master-General Maynard, informing
him of the charges, but the truth ap-
pears to be that he wrote to Second
Assistant Post Mas.or General
Brady. 1t is now maintained by
persons interested in the matter
that Special Agent Newton, whom
Brady sent 10 investigate the
charges against Price, made re-
port generating Price before he
could possibly have reached Alder,
querque, N. M, the terminus of the
route from Las Vegas under the
Price contract and To which point
Newton had been directed to 90.
