BREACH As WIDE As EVER.
The Situation as Regards the Strike

troll Duty-One of First Companies
Out PeIted with Rocks and Other
Missiles.

Albany, y. Y. May 16.-The traction
strike was productive of no serious
disorder curing the night. The COM
pany made no further effort to op-
crate cars or repair its lines. and will
probably remain inactive until the
military force called by the state is
in position to afford the fullest pro-
lection. a strong effort was made
during tie night to bring the contend-
ing interests into conference. but 1t
failed. anG at this time the breach is
as wide as ever. The establishment
of the militia patrol began shortly oe-
fore midnight, when three companies
of the Tenth battalion were quietly
and quickly dispatched from the
Washington avenue armory. One COM
pany was ordered to the traction pow
er house, another tC the upper town

on its tanks and rear and followed it
down to the barn. As it halted in

Almost a Catastrophe.

The first detachment of the Tween

a. m, and its opening part in this
great industrial struggle came near
being a catastrophe. just after their
train had crossed the New York Cen
trail bridge spanning the Hudson. it
struck misplaced switch. The pow
erful mogul engine drawing it
jumped the track and went tumbling
over on its side. None of the cars
left the track. bur they were given a
jolt that shook every man in the
train. There were 400 men in the de-
tachment under Lieut.. Col. Brady.

PARK LEVY MADE,
City Council Makes a Half Mill
Assessment.

At the meeting of the city council last
night, a special tax Of one-half mill was
levied against the property of Topeka
for the Improvement and maintenance
of the parks Of the city
In order to leave the total levy at II
mills. the council deducted half a mill
from the former interest levy, making
that levy IL mills instead OF mills. as
it was under the former ordinance.
There was no discussion over the
adoption of the park tax levy. The
council was unanimous and the meet
ing lasted only fifteen minutes. The
opinion Of City Attorney Spencer, tell
ing the council that q special levy
would be unconstitutional was tossed
overheard without a tremor by the city
fathers.
The following communication from
Mayor Hughes. amounting to a veto Of
the former tax levy ordinance, was read
to the council:

my approval Of the tax levy Tor 1902

for the reason that a large number of
the heaviest tax payers as well as peo-
pie OF all classes, have interviewed me
and I believe there should be a direct
tax for park maintenance under the
Iegislati enactment of 1899.
And having conferred with some OF
the councilmen personally, it seems to
be the consensus of opinion that such
should be made, and for that reason
T have called you in special session for
the further consideration OF the or
dinance.
ssThe city Of Topeka can wen afford
to maintain and improve the puDllc
parks it now has.
Il feel it is a matter of interest and
benefit to every inhabitant of the city
Respectfully,
= w F. HUGHES.
The following is a portion of Mr.
Spencer's adverse opinion.
I'm my opinion the judge of the dis
trict court would declare this tax levy
illegal because of the unconstitutional
ity of the said act Of 1899 as the said
court has already passed upon the same
question in holding unconstitutional the
special act in reference to the auditor
ium in the city of Topeka in a decision
rendered in 1893.
however. this opinion is only the
opinion Of one lawyer on the subject
and of course said opinion does not rem
der the act unconstitutional. The act
would stand as valid until tested in
court and declared Invalid by final de-
cision.
Under these circumstance, 1t is for
the mayor and council to determine
whether they will make the contem-
plated levy and take the chances OF It's
being tested and declared invalid by
the courts
