class. pronounced Hogtown, settled at
the beginning of the present century

CORPORATION TAX TOO LIGHT.
Roosevelt Says Companies Should
Pay for Franchises.


Albany, n. Y, May 22.-The state legis-
lature met in extraordinary session this
evening In the course of a long message
in which he discusses the general problem
OF taxation in the state, Gov. Roosevelt
says
There is evident injustice in the light
taxation of corporations l have not she
slightest sympathy with the outcry against
corporations as SUCH or against prosper
Gus men of business. TO drive out of a
community the men of means and the
men who take the lead in business enter
pr.ses, would probably entail as one of its
first results, the starvation of a considera-
bic portion of the remainder of the popu-
lation
But while ] freely admit all this, it yet
remains true that a corporation which de
Tives its power from the state should pay
TO the state a tax percentage of its earn
ings as return for the privileges it en-
JOYS This should be especially true for the
franchises bestowed upon gas companies,

Washington, May 22.-The United States
Supreme Court to-day decided the case of

guarantee given by this railway company
Of The bonds OF a Kentucky railway COM

antee the New Albany sought to have de-
clared void, and much litigation ensued
The opinion in the case as prepared by
Justice Brewer has found the Court of APP
peals of the Seventh circuit to be in err
ror In that it failed to protect the inter
ests of certain of the creditors, the court
saying that while not intending any dis
placement of the ordinary rules or rights
of mortgagers and mortgage in a fore
closure, they believed that under the cir
cumstances Is presented by this record
there was error and that the decision
which was in favor of the railroad COM
pany in the Circuit Court of Appeals for
the Seventh circuit, should be reversed.
This order was made TO remand the case
TO the Circuit Court with Instructions to
set aside the confirmation of sale and to
inquire whether st is true as alleged, that
the foreclosure proceedings were made in
pursuance of an agreement between the
bondholders and stockholders to preserve
the rights of both and destroy the inter-

shall appear that such was the agreement
between the parties, to refuse TO permit
the confirmation of sale until the interests

Savannah OmciRI Heard the Denl
HUNDRED While North.
1t is rumored that the Southern Railway
has acquired control of the Georgia from
the Louisville and Nashville.
No authoritative announcement has been
made, and the rumor is OF the vaguest. IL
has been published in Atlanta, and a well
known railroad official was asked about
the matter yesterday lie said he had
heard IL in its rumored shape while North
a few days ago, but there was nothing in
the way he heard IL to indicate the truth
of the report.
The Official said the requirement of the
Georgia would be an advantage TO the
Southern, giving it Line from Atlanta to
Charleston. now that the South Carolina
and Georgia has been secured by the
Southern The official also said he believes
the Georgia could be operated by the
Southern at a profit 10 the Satter road.
The Central Railroad was formerly in
terested in the lease OF the Georgia, hold
ing IL divided equally with the Louisville
and Nashville When the lease was put

committee of the peace conference meets
at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, the
committee on the laws of warfare meets
.4,,rirr the afternoon of the same day,
and the committee on arbitration meets
on Wednesday
The chiefs of the delegations have had
frsouent conferences with the view of
orriving at an agreement in regard to
the choice of officers of the committees,
but apparently many difficulties have
arisen. as nothing has been finally set
tied.
Many false and exaggerated reports have
been circulated regarding these bitches.
For instance, it has been said that Count
Won Munster, the German ambassador
at Paris, and head of the German dele
cation. would withdraw from the con-
ference Such stories must be received
with caution. as persons hostile TO the
aims of the conference have been busily
engaged in spreading distrust.
Andrew D. White, the United States am
bassador at Berlin, and head of the
American delegation, in an interview here
with a representative of the Associated
Press, said he regarded the situation as
promising, and that The first work of or
ganization was wen done. He added
II am hopeful that it will be possible to
reach practical conclusions. The skepti-
clsm of the first few days must yield to
serious hope without at the same time in
du.ging in exaggerated expectations

think we may arrive at some result on
the subject of mediation and arbitration.
Although It is undoubtedly impossi bic to
make such action obligatory, it can be
rendered at least optional That will be an
immense advance.
Il am also confident that important i'm
provements are achievable In the laws and
usages of war. Relative to the reduction
of armament, / am not in a position TO
speak on the subject"
Other ambassadors interviewed express
ed similar views. They seemed convinced,
however, that numerous difficulties of de
tail would arise in the various committees
and that the conference would be pro
tracted.

supreme Court Upheld the city OF
Richmond in Refusing to Let the
He'll Company Put Its Poles on the
Streets-Act of Congress as 10 Tel
eGraph Companies Does Not Apply
Because II Did Not Include TeIe-
phone Companies.
Washington, May Elm the United
states Supreme Court an opinion W. en-
dered to-day in the case Of the city of
Richmond, Va, VS.. the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
The controversy involved the right Of
the telephone company 70 locate its pole
and wires in the streets and alleys of the
city regardless of the protest OF the local
municipal authorities, the claim of the
telephone company being made under the
act of Congress of 1866 granting such right
generally 10 telegraph companies.
The decision was favorable to the con-
tention of the city and adverse TO the tel
ephone company. the court holding that
the concession TO telegraph companies
could not be made TO include telephone
companies.
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Harlan.
The congressional act involved is that
granting rght-of-way to telegraph com
panies along any military or post road of
the United States. The telephone COM
pany claimed the right under this act to
locate and operate its lines on any of the
streets of the city in opposition 20 the
municipal authorities
The Circuit Court approved this view.
but the Circuit Court of Appeals reversed
the opinion, holding that the right under
the act was subordinate to public use and
private rights
Justice Harlan said both opinions We're
wrong, and that the act in the interest
OF telegraph companies did not include
telephone companies.
1T may be-" he said that the public
policy intended TO be promoted by that act
would suggest the granting TO telephone
companies of the rights and privileges ac-
corded TO telegraph companies. And il
may be that if the telephone had been
known and in use when the act OF 1866 was
passed, Congress would have embraced in
its provisions companies employing instru-
ments for electrically transmitting artic-
ulate speech. But the question Is not
what Congress might have done in 1866.
nor what it ought now TO do, but what was
in its mind when enacting the statute in
question"
He concluded by saying: IF Congress
desires to extend the provisions of the act
of 1866 TO telephone companies, let il do 80
in plain words 1t will be time enough
when such legislation is enacted TO consid-
er any Ques tons of constitutional law
