Washington, August 23.-Early next

Kentucky Authorities Can Not Get
Service on the Southern Pacific.
Frankfort, Ky, August 23.-The fight
against the Southern Pacific by the Ken
lucky taxing officers. both in the cities
and the State board of valuation and as
sossment, has received a peculiar setback
in that they can not get service on the
company in the regular way. The laws OF
this State require all corporations organ
lied in this State and doing business in
this State" to have an agent in this State
to file with the secretary of State the
name and address Of such agent upon
whom summons can be served at any
time. The Southern Pacific, Ill compliance
with this law, some time ago appointed
Charles F.. Krebs. a Louisville railroad
man. their agent for Kentucky. Several
months ago the railroad with which Krebs
was engaged was absorbed by another road
and he left the State.
When the State board attempted to gel
service ON Krebs some time ago the Louis
willie sheriff reported that he had left the
state and that no Kentucky agent or place
OF business OF tue ''ouehSiu "ei"S ~S'
be found. The officers are now threaten
| ing to apply the law which provides thu
the forfeiture of charter to corporation
that purposely evades the law requiring
