The Pullman Car Taxes.

Dies MONIES, Ia, May 2O.-TSpecial Tele-
gram to The BEE. Several months ago the
Pullman Car company obtained an injunction
from Judge Brewer restraining Iowa county
treasurers from attempting to collect taxes
from them or any of their agents. A new
turn appeared in the case to day, when Judge
Love, of the United States district court,
refused to hold County Attorney Ryan, who
had been arrested for contempt in this mat
ter. The Illinois Central railway was as
sessed for taxation on the basis of S., $50 per
mile. The company went to Treasurer Ryan,
at Fort Dodge, and offered to pay taxes on
the basis of $500 per mile, claiming that
the extra $50 represented the Pullman taxes,
for which they were not liable. Mr.. Ryan
refused to take their money, on the ground
that he had no authority to discriminate or
divide the receipts, and said he must have II
all or none. The company thereupon declared
that he was trying to collect the Pullman tax
In violation of Brewers injunction. and had
him arrested for contempt Judge Love.
in hearing the case, said that the transaction
was simply an affair between the county
treasurer and the Illinois Central, and that
the Pullman company could not be dragged
into it. Therefore he ordered the treasurer
released.

Nearly forty people who occupy rooms IN
the Shaw s. Ledwch block, at the corner of
Sixteenth and Howard streets, were
awakened at / :l5 o'clock this morning by a
cry of "Firer' and found every room in the
block filled with smoke. The fire
originated in the basement of the
block, In Stovel & Forbish's candy fac
tory. and had evidently been burning for
some time before it was discovered. The
residents Of the block found il impossible
to leave the building through the Railways
on account of the dense smoke, and all Of
them had to be taken from the windows
by the use of the extension ladders.
Chief Galligau superiutended this part of
the work in person, and saw all of the occu-
pants of the block safely on The street The
damage to the building is slight. Stovel &
Forbish's stock, valued at So, 500, is almost

FoRr DODGE, Ia, May 20.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Action was commenced
in the district court here this afternoon by
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis railway to pre-
vent the collection of the tax voted to aid
the building of the Mason City & Fort Dodge
road. The petition alleges that the road was
built simply for speculation, the expense of
building being only 5000, 900, which was al
most wholly covered by special taxes, and
that bonds to the amount of 81, 400, 900 were
foated after the taxes were voted. These
disclosures create something of a sensation.
The case will be made test only.

The Board OF Education.

At last nights meeting of the board Of edu-
cation the vote of Saturdays election was
canvassed, and the result showed that the
proposed issuance of 100000 IN bonds for
new school sites and buildings was defeated.
Mrs. Margaret Parks, whose vote was re-
jected at the Seventh war polls on the day
of the election, was represented by j. W.
Eller her attorney, who stated that he
wanted to take the matter into the courts
and make a test case of it. He desired some
member to make a motion to have her vote
canvassed, and then have the board cote it
down. This would give him grounds for
action in the district court. The board ac-
ceded TO his request. and the courts will now
be called upon to decide whether or not Mrs.
Parks had right to vote.
After the transaction of routine business
the board adjourned.
