FRANCHISES Of STREET
RAILWAYS ARE TAXABLE.
A HIGHLY IMPORTANT DECISION
BY THE SUPREME COURT OF
MICHIGAN.
AN ASSESSMENT TREBLED
CLUDED, AND THE ASSESS
MENT SUSTAINED.

LANSING, Mich, February H.
The Michigan Supreme Court to-day
handed down an opinion affirming the
judgment of the Wayne county circuit
bench, that franchises received from
the city are taxable. The decision was
in the case of what is now the Detroit
United Railway Company, the corpor-
ate name of the consolidated street
railway systems of the city, against the
city assessors of Detroit. Last year
the assessor increased the assessment
of the railway company from s2,600,000
to S8,142, 100, on the assumption that
its franchises were taxable. The Cir
cult Court confirmed the assessors &C
ton and the case was then carried to
the Supreme Court
The railway company applied for a
mandamus to compel the common
Council to strike from the assessment
rolls the sums alleged to represent the
value placed on the company's fran
chise.' The Supreme Court in denying
the application declares that the pro-
priety Of treating aggregations of
property as a unit is as natural and
proper for the purposes of assessment
as for the purpose of sale, especially
where the various elements are so es-
sential to the purpose for which they
are combined, that the withdrawal of
one would impair the use of, or destroy
all, for the purposes to which in their
new form they are adapted. The man
damus asked for, to compel the strik
ing OF the assessment from the rolls,
was denied.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, February
12.-The Senate to-day passed the fol-
lowing measures:
a resolution by Senator May in

more than the board asks, for the
purpose of purchasing farm for the
institution.
House bill 100, for the better drain
age and ventilation Of mines was dis
cussed at length and finally ordered
to third reading.
The Republican Financiers
find themselves up against it good
and hard. One who sits near the
throne in the finance committee is
authority for the statement that
enough appropriations have already
been agreed upon to consume the en-
tire available assets of the State for
the next two years, so far as can be
calculated, and that sums for the ex-
pense of actually conducting the gov
eminent have not yet been touched
Where to raise money, and how, are
the uppermost questions in the minds
of the financiers. The thought of
cutting down expenses to the size of
the revenue is one that never enters
the head of the Republican states
man.
The House To-day Passed
the following measures:
Substitute House bill 265, creating a
State school book board; House bill
1903, relating to the issuance OF pro-
cesses; Senate bill So, regulating the

SUFFERS ATTACK ON HEATH
EXPUNGED FROM THE RECORD
The Army Appropriation Bill Passed
and the Sundry Civil Bill Entered


and the Sundry Civil Bill Entered
Upon.
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 1.-THE
House to-day passed the army appro-
priation bill and entered upon consid-
Grafton of the Sundry Civil bill, the
last one of the big appropriation bills.
The debate upon the army bill was
confined largely to discussion of the
question of the passing bills to re-
move the charge of desertion against
soldiers and was made notable by a
statement of Mr.. Mcclellan On. ",
comparing the cost of the soldiers in
European armies with the cost in the
United States. According to his fig
ures, including the cost of pensions,
ETC., each United States soldier involv-
ed an expense of $2,S2S, while a Ger
man soldier costs 1929 and a French
soldier 1922.
The chaplain referred to the fact
that this was the anniversary of the
birthday of Lincoln, the emancipation,
and prayed that his life might be an
example and inspiration to those now
living.
The struggle over expunging from
the record the anonymous letter re-
fiecting upon Perry S. Heath, read by
Mr.. Sulzer IN. ", during the excit-
ing session of yesterday, was resum-
ed.
Mr. Knox (Mass) called UP the al
legged infringement. He admitted a
member might charge any sort of Of
Tense against man not member Of

contended that when a member intro
duced a paper the House obtained jur-

Mr.. SulZer said he was at a loss to
understand the anxiety to protect the
character of Perry S. Health, who was
not a member of the House. while his
party associates were exulting delight
ed in the attack upon his (Sulzer's)
personal character and reputation.
Il had the courage yesterday to say
that | was responsible for every word
in the letter. If Mr.. Heath thinks
there is anything libelous / will not

will plead the truth of the statements.
This morning a gentleman, former
member of this House, said to me: The

like a book; every word in it is true.

CINCINNATI, O.. February 1.-THE
preparations for the tight proceed the
same as usual. Over $1,000 was taken
in for tickets to-day, making an ag-
gregate Of over $4,000. If the injunc-
ton is refused the promoters expect
ticket orders to be numerous.
If Judge Hollister issues the injunc-
ton the promoters will appeal the case
In that event there is no doubt about
the postponing the date two or three
weeks to allow the case to go to the
Supreme Court.
Meantime there is much comment
over the active preparations of Gov
ernor Nash in having two or three
regiments Of militia awaiting orders
to proceed to Cincinnati.
II Judge iHollister should grant an
injunction against the prize fight and
not against such boxing contest as
that for which Mayor Fleischmann
has issued his permit, then the pro-
moters will go ahead. In that event
it is anticipated that Governor Nash
would interfere and that there might
be serious complications. A similar
situation would ensue in the event
that Judge Hollister, who sits in a
court of equity, should hold that he
had no jurisdiction in case of a
criminal nature such as it is claimed
prize fight represents. The concen-
sus of opinion is that Judge HOLSTER
will grant a permanent injunction.
The prosecuting attorney and sheriff
are preparing to carry out the Gov
ernor's orders.
There was the usual activity to-day
around the training quarters. The
company that will support Jeffries on
the road arrived from New York to-
day and proceeded with their rehear
