Judge Donovan IN his opinion reviewed the rail-
road company's contention that under Its special
charter the company had the privilege of fixing Its
own rates OF fares which privilege however. was
claimed by the State TO be indefinite, as the road $
charter merely gave the company power TO fix fares
by bylaws. and If so. under police power only rea-
sonable rates could be fixed Under such power all

TORE DOWN THE FLAG
UNKNOWN MISCREANTS STEAL
THE STARS AND STRIPES
Sneak Thieves or Worse Make Way
With Three Flags A Reward
for Their Apprehension

E. Gilman Is feeling In Just the same
mood that the nation would experience #
they should learn of a Spanish victory
over our arms. He is mad, clean through,
and he has the best kind of right to be
so. Gilman does not kick alone, either, in
his grievance.
In front of his store at lis East Second
street Gilman had placed three American
flags. He had nailed his colors to the
masthead of his place of business and
there they waved proudly whether in day
light or darkness until last Monday
night Under the cover of night some crea-
ture tore down the flags and narly de-
stroyed them, and when Gilman returned
in the morning it was to discover his colors
ruined. He reported the affair to Cap
tain Of Police Roberts. To those who are
acquaipted with the captain, the result can
be readily imagined. Gilman had thought
that he was something of a roaster him
SELF but when the captain took off his
coat and gave his lungs full vent and
started in to roar Gilman realized that his
vocabulary of condemnation was as rela-
lively small compared to the captains as
the Vesuvius looks alongside the big In
diana. After the pair had held an ndigna-
ton meeting Gilman authorized the cap
tain to post a notice on the bulletin board
offering a reward of $50 for the apprehen-
sion of the miscreants who stole the flags.

TOO SMALL A HOPE
George Brown Discovers He Had
Labored in Vain

During the early part of this month an
attempt was made to break Jail by one OF
the city prisoners, but the man used more
energy than discretion, for after tearing
away a quantity of pipe, he discovered TO
his chagrin that the hole through which he
expected to escape from his cell was too
small.
George Brown was the name the man
gave to the officers, but this is probs.
bly, an alias. He had been arrested by
Detective Steele on suspicion of having
been concerned in a burglary job, and as
he had some dynamite on him it was also
thought that he was safe cracker Pend
ing an investigation, Brown was locked in
enc of the steel cells on the ground floor.
These cells are built inside the room, there
being passageway around them. There
is a hole in one corner of the cell through
which several pipes pass. Brown saw this
hole, and though it is no more than four
inches square, he imagined that by tear
ing the pipes loose he would be able to
crawl through the hole and get into the
room outside the tank. The prisoner sue
ceeded in getting the pipes out of his way,
but when he essayed to get out 1T was only
to find that the hole was too small. When
the jailor went to the cell the next morn
ing Brown pointed to the twisted pipes and
called attention to his work. Plumbers
fixed the damage in a short time, and no
punishment was meted out to Brown for
his attempt to break Jail. Had he succeed
ed in getting outside the tank he must have
either dug through a solid brick wall or
pried loose the grating at one of the win
dows on the south side of the jail.

A REPfNTANT DfSfRTfR
GIVES HIMSELF INTO CUSTODY,
CONSCIENCE sMITTEN
HE is NOT A PEACE SOLDIER
But Now That Wars Alarums Have
Sounded He Wants to Go to the
Front and Fight Spaniards

Edward Tardy thought that his country
did not need him in time of peace, so he
deserted its service, but now that the war
cloud is here Tardy wants to fight for the
Stars and Stripes, even If he first has to
be punished for his desertion. Tardy IS a
United States soldier who deserted last
year. but has seen the error of his way,
and wants to return to the fold.
Monday morning tall. military looking
man went into the detectives office. and
to Detective Bradish related a story IN
which self-abnegation played prominent
part. His name was Edward Tardy, he
said, and he was a deserter. He had be-
longed to the Fifteenth infantry, stationed
at Fort Huachucha, Arizona, but becoming
dissatisfied with military duty had de-
serted last August. He had been wan
dering about the country since then, work.
ing at various Jobs. but when the war
cloud began to gather he determined to go
back and fight If he was needed. War had
been declared, and he was anxious to pc
taken back to Arizona, and be sent to Cuba
to fight alongside of his former compan-
ions. His country did not, he thought,
need him in time of peace, but now that
there was war, it was different PROPOSE
ton altogether, and he surrendered himself
voluntarily, for he meant business.
Chief Glass sent dispatch to the COM
mander at Fort Huachucha, asking II such
a man as Tardy was wanted for desertion
in August last. Yesterday he received a
dispatch from Captain Nancy, stating
that Tardy was wanted, and If he could
tell where he could be apprehended he
would be sent for Chief Glass then re-
piled that the man was in custody here,
and would SO sent for If desired.
In the meantime Tardy has been stay
ing in the city prison, anxiously awaiting
the disposition of his application by the
United States authorities. From the cir
cumstances that are now known about the
affair, the man seems worthy of more than
| the consideration usually given TO de-
serters. By his voluntary surrender Of his
| liberty he has demonstrated that he has
| the right sort of sentiment In him any the
| stuff that is needed to make good soldiers.
! 1t is expected that whoever is sent after
Tardy will arrive here by Friday. and in the
interim Tardy can be guessing what the
| court martial will do to him before they al
low him to rejoin his regiment to fight the
| Spanish

CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Tenn, April 26
General field orders directing the forma.
ton of the United States infantry regi-
ments here into division of two brigades
were issued today by Major General
Brooke. Colonel James A. Van Horn OF
the Eighth infantry is put in command of
the division. he being the ranking senior
officer. The first brigade is composed OF
the Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth and Twenty
fifth infantry. with Colonel Andrew 8. Burt
of the Twenty-ffth in command. The
Second brigade, according to the genral or
der. Is made UP of the Second and Twenty
fourth infantry, and such other infantry as
may arrive here.
Plans In regard to the formation of the
Second brigade were knocked awry this
evening by the definite announcement that
the order for the First regiment In the
Preside and the Benicia barracks. Cal. to
proceed to Chickamaugz had been counter
manded. and that the regiment had gone
into camp at New Orleans. This also, for
the time being at least, disposed of the plan
Of organization of the infantry into three
brigades of three regiments each. AS 1t
stands now the Sixteenth, from Forts
the only regiment which Major General
Brooke is reasonably certain of having in
corporated in his army. Detached officers
of that regiment have already reported for
duty here. The Eighteenth and Nine
teenth regiments, the former from Forts
Bliss and Sam Houston. and the latter
from Forts Brady and Wayne, 1t is thought
however, may have gone to Chickamauga,
in which case three brigades of three regi-
ments each will be formed. AS the Sec
ond brigade now stands, Colonel ]. c.
Bates of the Second regiment is in COM
mand. Battery X of the First from
Texas, and Batteries c and F, of the Third,
from San Francisco, arrived today. This
makes ten batteries in camp, and
completes the artillery concentration here.
1t is the intention to organize them into two
battalions of five batteries each, with
Majors Lancaster and Dillenback as COM
manders. The Second regiment of infantry
from Forts Keogh and Harrison, Montana
and Fort Yates, North Dakota. 400 men and
% officers, in command of Colonel J. c.
Bates, which arrived last night, went into
camp near the Twenty-fourth in the La
Fayette road The cavalry arrivals con-
sisted of Troops A. of the Third. from Hua-
chuca, Arizona and Troops E and X of the
Second, from Fort Wingate.
Field orders We're issued for the rigid
policing Of the camp. Daily inspections of
the camps will be made, and every sani-
tary precaution taken.
1t is quite probable that the entire body of
troops located here will be vaccinated.
BY next week the field maneuvers of an
army will begin.

The case is one in which Mrs. Sanford of

of John Faldrillo of trying to hound her
out of the neighborhood. According to the
statements of Mrs. Sanford the Faldriilo
family became incensed on account of some
supposed slight and have since been maxi
ing life burden to her.
She said that in addition to mocking her,
they invented a doggerel rhyme in which
she is twitted with being the victim of the
rerfidy of a Mr.. Ritchie. The character of
the lady is violently assailed in the song,
and as all the children in the neighbor-
hood know the words and sing it, she has
become wearied of the trouble and SO

Chambers said that he would issue COM
