TWO TAX CASES
Decided in Favor of Kentucky by
the Supreme Court.

Decided In Favor of Kentucky by
the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, March 15-The attention
OF the United States supreme court was
given largely today to the power of states
to tax the franchises of corporations, such
as express, telegraph and railroad compan-
les. Two Kentucky cases, involving the con-
stltutionality of the state law of 1892 one
affecting the Henderson bridge, and the 9TH
er, Adams Express company, were both de-
clded favoraby to the state.
In the case Of the Henderson Bridge COM
pahy, the law was attacked the ground
that 1t was in conflict with the federal con-
stttuton, giving to congress the power to
regulate interstate commerce.. The opinion
was read by Chief Justice Fuller, and all
the objections were brushed aside as imma-
terial or unfounded.
justices Field, Harlan, Brown and White
dlssented. Justice White read the dissenting
opinion. He said the law was a direct at
Tempt 10 tax property outside the state and
levy burden on interstate commerce. He
predicted that today's decision would be far
reaching in its effects.
These four justices also united in dis
senting opinion in the case Of the Adams
Express company.
In his opinion giving the reasons Of the
court for its refusal to grant a reargument
IN the ONO and Indiana cases, Justice Brew
er said that while the court had again and
again decided that no state could tax inter-
state commerce, 1t had been correctly held
1t could not properly interfere with the taxa
ton Of instruments Of such commerce. He
said that in taxing the franchises of corpo-
rations, the states had not gone beyond the
values furnished by the corporations them
selves.
On motion of Attorney General McKenna,
mandate was ordered to be issued in the
case Of the steamer Three Friends The
court also granted the motion for a writ Of
certiorar1 in the case Of The United States VS..

action will have the effect of bringing the
case to the supreme court. The question in

1889. Mr.. Stockwell asked Mai Hender-
sen If 1t were not true that the ma
chinery was purchased two years be-
fore it was needed-before there was
any place to put it and before there
was an engine to run it. Mr.. Hender-
son said possibly six months were al
lowed to pass before the machinery was
set UP. but this was due to lack of
ay ailable funds Messrs C. H, fowler
and Mr.. Lawrence, Minneapolis laun-
drymen, testified that the mangle was
originally worth 81 900. and had improy-
ed rather than fallen INT value, and that
1t was being smoothly run at it's full
capacity.
w. J. Burns, who was engineer at
the home for six years from Novem-
ber 1890, was sworn. to show that the
plant really lay about for two years
before it was needed. He said the
mangle was set up and put into oper-
alton during the summer of 1891, while
the voucher Capt. Castle exhibited,
showed the mangle was received here
January, 1890. The engine was pur-
chased in 1891. Burns could give Capt.
Castle nothing more to back up his
statement about when the work was
done, than what he had heard. Capt.
Castle explained the short interval
which actually interviewed, by saying
that the laundry machinery was
bought, not before it was needed, but
before the board was ready, and that
1t was done because part of the build
ing and equipment appropriation was
available, and that the engine could
not be bought until year later. There
was crying need for it, he explained.
for, before that time, the work was be-
ing done by hand at high rates.
The last matter considered was the
need OF three smoke consumers, which,
It is stated, were bought for SITS each,
when they could have been obtained for
frcm $75 to $50. 1t was further alleged
that not only did the consumers fail
to consume smoke, but that they vast
ed Instead Of saved fuel
EX-Engineer Burns testified that the
consumers were put in without his
recommendation, that they could not
be made to work we'll and used about
~ tons of coal more than under ordi-
nary conditions. Commandant Nc
MILAN ordered them disused and later
member of the board wanted them
used, but still later Burns, who said the
coal heaVers grumbled at the extra
work OF piling in coal, discontinued
using them, and they were taken out
and sold
Mr.. StockWell's contention that the
taking out of the consumers had weak
ened the brick walls at a net cost to
the state Of $1,000 was questioned by
the statement Of Engineer John W.
Wells, that entirely regardless of the
presence of the consumers, the walls
were in such shape as to require the
repairing which was done. Capt Cas-
tie and John Gilman, as a majority of
the board, authorized the purchase of
these three smoke consumers at a cost
of $3.50 each upon the strong written
recommendation of number of Min
neapolis manufacturing firms, and after
several good tests had been made, and
it appeared they were not effective,
they were taken out. Mr. Gilman ad-
VaEced the view that the consumers
had never been properly tested. The
committee will take up the balance of
the points tomorrow

DeadwOod Party to Start on a Wild
Goose Chase After $50. 900.

SIOUX CITY, 10, March ia search
ing party will leave Deadwood, s. D.,
some time next month to look for the
grave of Winding Hawk, a Sioux chief,
who died in 1854 and was buried with
$4,000 in gold by his side Repeated
attempts have been made by prOspec-
tors during the last few years to locate
the old warriors resting place, but
thus far none have been rewarded with
success. The plans of the party now
forming, the exact date on which it
will leave Deadwood and the informa-
t1cn on which its hope is based are be-
ing kept secret. That the explorers
have better reason than any who have
preceded them for thinking they will
succeed in their enterprise is, how
ever, confidently asserted
winding Hawk S stamping ground
for several years prior to his death
was in the country about the present
site of Fort Laramie. Some time be-
fore he died he and a number of com
rades are said to have held UP a gov
| eminent annuity ambulance in which
was $4,000 in currency and a like
amount in gold. The Indians were all
familiar with the value of the currency
| and divided it equally among them
| SeleveS. Winding Hawk is asserted to
have convinced them. however. that
| the coin was practically valuelesS Still
he admitted the gold pieces were pref
| ty trinkets, and offered to take the
lot in lieu of his share of the currency.
The other members of the party acced-
ed to his request, and the willy old chief
1ugged his treasure away to his tepee
He died soon afterward and in accor-
dance with the usual custom among the
Indian ariStocracv was buried with
his favorite pony, his finest bows and
| arrows and his new trinkets.
| The old braves who were his COM
| paniOns in the raid on the ambulance
| subsequently came to know the value
| Of their friends share Of the plumber,
| but the Indian superstition that to
violate the grave Of a fellow member
| of their tribe brings fatally bad luck
| prevented any attempt to recover the
| treasure. Several times members of
| the party have been prevailed on to
| agree to guide prospecting parties to
! the chiefs grave on the supposition
| that by permitting the white men to
disinter the money the latter would
| themselves assume the responsibility
| of violating the grave. At the last
moment, however, their courage has
| invariably given out and the searchers
| have been compelled to give up the
undertaking empty-handed.
On what grounds the present party
bases its claim that it will not fail as
the others have done, no one knows
The members are evidently confident
however, and the supposition is thai
the route has already been mapped
out to them. Many old settlers think

charging demagogism, as the honest
truth about the matter. He spoke in a
very loud voice, and when he was seat
ed Mr.. Donnelly replied to him.
He said the gentleman of KandiyOhi
remarked something about being hon.
est, but he would remind him that a
man could be honest without being
insolent He had tried to bawl down
the BILL but Mr. Donnelly would re-
mind him that he could bawl, too and
he did so at the top of his tremendous
voice. He said he was opposed to the
whole bill, but it was less objection
able with the amendments, and he
launched out into a vigorous speech
against the whole idea. He compared
it to the practice of the old slave own
ers after the war, and told the good
old days" of Henry VIII when 250 men
were hanged in London for begging.
He said if the bill became a law with
out the amendments. he should be
ashamed that he was citizen of Min
nesota, and he insisted that it would
never become a law in that form.
Mr.. Foss argued, that beside the
tramps the farmers wives, who were
annoyed, and perhaps insulted by these
men who would not work, should also
be considered.
Mr. Abbott had just one word in de-
Tense of his amendment, and said with
out it he would not support the bill.
Mr.. Johns reminded Mr.. Donnelly
that it was the Republican party
which was responsible for the legis
lation. Mr.. Stockwell said that the
Populists would, for political reasons,
be willing to have the bill passed, for
it would make good political capital,
but as humanitarian proposition, he
would raise his voice against such
legislation. The motion to recommend
was lost, and the report favoring the
passage of the bill was adopted.
H. F. 128 by Representative Marin
to legalize certain defective township
organizations, was also recommended
to pass.
The house adjourned to 10 o'clock to-
day.
