TIE DETROIT FRANCHISE CASE.
A Point i'm General HarrisOn's Brief in
Street Car Litigation.

During the argument in the street-car
litigation in the federal court, Judge Woods
asked of General Harrison the question if a
court of chancery might not require some
provision TO be made for the Citizens
Street-railroad Company in remuneration
for it's property. Judge Woods said the
court might not order the property turned
over unless the cost of replacing ii was
paid. In his brief General Harrison has
made fuller answer. He says:
IF. under the statute. right to OPP
crate a street railway is derived from the
city, and was lawfully limited TO a period
of thirty years, upon what theory of equity
jurisdiction can the court extend our rights
to a longer period? Surely there is no such
in the use of these tracks can be held in
exercise by the court beyond the limited
time We can get no value of them, save,
first, by finding buyer who can use them
as they lie, or by taking them up and sell
ing the material The first value cannot be
secured unless there is competition between
persons having the right to use the tracks;
but this court cannot open such competition
unless ii has power to control the legis-
lative discretion of the Board of Works and
the City Council; and without such power
how can this court restrain those bodies
from giving to a new company the right 10
place tracks just where our unused tracks
are. To protect our values you must not
only prevent the use of our tracks by 9TH
ers, but you must prevent the city from re-
quiring us TO remove them. For If
we have only the right to re-
move them, or if we may be
compelled to remove them, the scrap
heap value only is left to us. You must
not only say that no other company shall
use our tracks without a valued compensa-
tion-but you must say In effect that it
must use them; for, if they are not COM
PEELED to take and use them, we remain as
fully as ever in their power. In the De-
troit case cited in the argument, Judge
Taft held that the law of Michigan linn
tied the corporate life of street railways
TO fifty years, city grant license to
the streets, which went beyond the
corporate life, was void, because there was
no corporation to exercise il. The results
so disastrous and inequitable that
when he fully realized them he suspended
the final decree and appealed TO the parties
to make a compromise He saw no way of
escape through any power of the chancel-
lor. But here your HonorS have only TO
hold that the Legislature of Indiana did
not fall into the absurdity of attempting to
provide for perpetual public use through
corporations having term limits as to the
discharge of that use, and without making
any provision for turning over, upon fair
terms, to a successor. the appliances and
structures necessary to the continued dis
charge of the use. Property rights, the
public use, and the fullest control of the
corporations are all secured by this con-

MEET OF BICYCLISTS
CRACKS OF THE COUNTRY WILL BE
IN THIS CITY NEXT WEEK.
Tournament to BE Held at the Fair
Grounds on Friday and Satur-
day-The Events.

The National Circuit Bicycling race meet
will be held at the State fair grounds,
Friday and Saturday. July q and IS. The
circuit includes the following cities:
Worcester and Waltham, Mass; New York
city. Hartford, Conn; Scranton, Pa; Balti-
more. Md; Cleveland and Toledo, o.; In
dianapolis, and Denver, Col. Races have
been held in all these cities excepting Den
yer and here. After the races are held in
this city the riders will go to Denver and
there close the racing season. The meeting
in this city will be given under the aus
pieces of the Zigzag Cycling Club, and the
efforts of the club indicate that it will I'M
doubtedly be the greatest event of its kind
ever held in this vicinity Up to yesterday,
about one hundred riders, all flyers, had
written that they intended to enter Among
those who have assured the management
that they will be here are Walter Sanger, of
Milwaukee; j. p. Bliss, n. b. Doniven,
Citizens. of Chicago; l.. d. Cabanne. of st.
Louis; r. f. Goetz and f. G. Johnson, of
Cleveland, o.; John S. Johnston, c. II. Cal

Deovy and H. r. Steensen, of Chicago;
f. j. Titus, of New York; E. F. Miller,
Vineland, n. j.. w. j. Helfert, Utica, N
Ed D. McKeon, of Greenfield, o.
Greater interest will be taken in the meet
In this city than elsewhere on account of
the number of speedy local riders who are
entered for the fast events. Much is eX-
pected of Marmon, Roll, Minor and Bonfield
from their recent performances. Another
thing that will tend TO cause unusual inter-
est in this meet is the fact that the riders
for all the prominent houses are entered
TO stay and will ride for blood. The ma
jority of the large bicycle manufactures
have at least two flyers representing them
and riding their wheels in this circuit. This
will be the first meet this year in which all
the leaders will compete for worthy prizes.
AS the reputation of the wheel and the rid
ers TO a great extent, depends upon the
time of the races, no soldering is expected.
The following is list of the events:

deputies who went into active service $3.50

County Commissioners 20 reimburse him.
A number of deputies were sworn in by
him that We're never called upon TO do any
service under their commission. These, he
says, will not be paid. There is a question,
however, as to whether or not they cannot
demand pay and compel payment. They
hold commissions as deputy sheriffs, which
authorizes them TO do all the acts OF a
deputy sheriff until such time as their COM
mission Is revoked. They were subject to
call at any time and would have been liable
To punishment for a refusal to obey the
call. If the claim of any were presented to
court on suit, il is said, the court would
