time for argument
Mir Donohoe accepted service on the suit
this afternoon. The aciioE OF the trust
company,is to test the law. Already over
$4,000 has been collected under the law,
and Of this amount the county hos ra'
ceived its share. The action Of City Coun-
Gil In demanding its ebare OF the money
will lead to another suit against the COLI
ectors by the city but tho step has not as
yet been taken.
The Equitable Company Is only one Of
the companies and individuals who lave
refused to pay their tax as prescribed by
the law Several weeks ago Collector
Donohoe made formal demand on the
company for the $lS65. 90 but the company
refuses to pay.
Then Mr.. Donahoe expressed his inten.
tion Of bringing suit to recover the
amount and thereby bringing the law IN
to the court and having It's constitutional
ily passed upon, but the action OF the COM
pany while also aiming at the constitu-
tIonality of the law. relieves Mr.. Donahoe
from bringing suit.

The Filipino to whom the message was
sent has beon steadfastly friendly 10 the
Americans He has been frequently re-
questcd to join Agulnaldo, but has refus-
I'll to do 50.
The fact that The rebel leader has sent
such request Is capable Of double inter

know what his chances would be IN me
event Of his surrender, or 1t is possible
that he wants to obtain Information rs 10
