Milwaukee enacted IN ordinance re-
ducing street car fares to four cents. The
railroad asked a Federal Judge for an
injunction, alleging that such a rate
would leave them no margin of profit.
The city appealed. Now the railroad has
reduced the rate to four cents on con
dition that the city will not appeal. Some
times a Federal Judge is exposed in his
haste to serve his masters. We have

tion-Acting Under MI.
Burns Advice.

John Gibbons was called again in the
election contest Yesterday and asked if
he had handled any money whatever
in the election of last fall. This is the
question. it will be remembered, which
Mr.. Gibbons refused 10 answer two
weeks ago, on the advice OF Senator
Mcdonald, attorney for the respond
ent, on the ground that the examina-
ton, in this regard, should be con-
fined to the treasurership election
Judge Archibald directed that the
question be answered when the matter
was certified to him, ruling that if the
voter violated the election law in any
respect at the election in question it
disqualified his vote.
Yesterday Mr.. Gibbons reiterated
that he had not handled any money in
connection with the treasurcrshp
election, but refused to answer the
question as applied generally to the
election. Attorney |. IL. Burns was
present representing Mr.. GibbonS,and
the refusal to answer was made under
his advice. This means that the mat
ter viii be appealed to the supreme
court.
