ridden in. competition. johnson was
first by less than six inches over
Sanger. with Tyler, half wheels

The second heat resulted the same
way, but the time was slower because
they were not paced fast enough. The
time was 2:Ol34. These We're the two

LICENSES WITHOUT LIMIT.
Denver Council Upheld in Taxing Sire.

Denver Couucil Upheld in Taxing Street

DENVER, July 3.-The state supreme
court has handed down an opinion that
holds that the levying of license by
the Denver city council on all occasions
is entirely legal. In 1885 the council
passed an ordinance placing $40 tax
on all street cars. This amount was
afterward increased to $25. The Den
yer City Gable railway was the first
corporation to refuse to comply with
the terms Of the ordinance. Its repre-.
sentatives were arrested and fined and
were ordered to pay the tax of $25 on
each car owned by them. The defend
ants appealed. Although the supreme
courts opinion does not specify directly
what articles or occupations the coun.
Gil may tax or license, it is plainly in
ferred that the city fathers have limit.

TO END RATE WARS
Another Vigorous Effort to Be
Made to Have Pooling
Legalized.
WILL GO AT IT DIFFERENTLY
The Legislation to Be Asked
AS a Protection to the
Small Shipper.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Is rail-
way magnates who accompanied j.
Pierpont Morgan on his yachting ex-
pedition. from Long Island Sound did
something more than revive the 'gen-
tlenen's agreement for the restora-
ON of east and westbound rates over
the trunk lines More important even
than the resolution they adopted piedg-
ing themselves as executive officers OF
the leading railroad systems in the
United States to maintain schedule
rates, was the informal discussion that
was had looking to the enactment of
railroad pooling bill by the Fifty
fourth congress. The great combina-
tions of capital interested in railroad
securities realize more and more clearly
each succeeding day the vital import
ance of have law which will prevent
the cutting and slashing of rates.
Te pooling bill, which failed last
winter by scratch would have saved
the railroads tens OF millions of dollars
during the year 1895 The re-enacted
gentlemen's S agreement entered into on
J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht will, OF
course, cut down the loss, but such a
compact lacks the binding force of a
statute and fails to impress investors
as ieing permanent. Hence the desire
of the magnates to impress congress
int, their service to protect them from
themselves and from the temptation to
grant rebates to heavy shippers.
Will Have a Different Plan.
They propose to go about this busi-
ness next winter on differenG plan
from that carried out in the Fifty-third
congress-. They will not ask for the
enactment of pooling bill as meas
ure intended to benefit the railroads,
but will work the wires to secure
the desired legislation as scheme
designed to protect the small shipper
and the general public against the dis
ordinations now enjoyed by the heavy
shippers. AS matters now stand, the
firm or establishment that can ship 10
cars, 100 cars, or 200 cars day has q
distinct advantage over the man who
only ships one carload or part Of car
load day. The heavy shipper secures
substantial rebates from nearly every
road in the country, and the greater
the volume of business, the greater the
rebate he exacts from the transporta-
tion companies which are given the
privilege of doing his hauling. Congress
will be asked to correct this evil.
The party that was on board Mr..
Morgan's yacht represented about one.
third of the entire railroad capitaliza-
ton of the United States, and they are
in position to command the situation.
