WILL MAKE A FIGHT
Street Railway Company Will Not
Pay It's Taxes.
HELD THAT THEY ARE UNJUST
Thomas Lowry Doesn't Like the As
sessments on Capital Stock
Imposed by the state.

The Twin City Rapid Transit company
will resist payment of the assessment on
its capital stock to the last ditch. Word
was received from New York yesterday di-
recting the company's attorneys here TO
oppose the imposition of the tax, and 1t is
surmised that such action has not been
taken without the best legal advice.
Mr.. Lowry is in the east and it is un-
derstood that he has instructed his lieu
tenants here as to the proper course to
pursue.
The company saw its capital stock as
sessed for the first time two years ago,
and was given tilt again last year by
the state board of equalization. The last
raise placed the assessment at such a
high point that the company regarded it as
unjust taxation.
The capital stock is assessed at 4,600,-
900, and would yield about 100000 in
taxes for Minneapolis, St. Paul and Still
water. The company protested against
the assessment of two years ago, but re-
luctantly took its medicine. 1t was sup
posed that it would do the same this year,
but Mr.. Lowry will have a battle royal
first.
j. F. Calderwood, auditor of the COM
pany, said he had sent certain data to
New York regarding the taxes and had
heard from Mr.. Lowry concerning them.
he had no idea what would be done until
he received Mr.. Lowrys instructions.
State Auditor Dunn has been ap-
preached to see what he would do if the
local board of abatement should favor a
reduction. He answered that he would
oppose any reduction. This means that
the matter will go to the courts.

THAT SHOOTING OF HOAG
THE GRAND JURY INVESTIGATING
The CensOrs Also Investigate the
County's Bookkeeping system
Auditor Scott Summoned

After few days vacation the grand
Jury resumed its deliberations this
morning. The charges preferred against
Patrolman Stewart, who shot young Hoag,
while the boy was endeavoring to escape
on the East Side last week, were taken
up Superintendent of Police Ames be-
neves the shooting was clearly in line of
the officers duty. In a recent interview
he cited precedents in his experience as
chief of police Of Manila, while the Thir-
teenth Minnesota was provost guard of
the Philippines capital. The chief says
that in those trying times his subordinates
received instructions to shoot every man
who ignored the summons to halt
County Auditor Scott lodged into the
juryroom with a large bundle of books
Office records-under his arm. The jury
was curious to read up on the minutes of
the county commissioners. The reports
of Irregularities in the boards system of
bookkeeping are regarded as serious
enough to warrant an investigation. The
cause of the financial rut in which the
commissioners find themselves. as re-
ported some time ago, was the escustotn of
using each appropriation for the differ
ent departments as a revolving fund,
with which to make good any deficit in
the funds regularly set aside for a specific
purpose.
The case against S. E. Smith. colored
who is charged with a brutal assault upon
Benjamin Hoffman, a newsboy. is also
being considered.

A REVOLTlNG ASSAULT
BENNIE HOFFMAN'S
STORY
Police Arrest Negro Giving the
. Name of $. f. Smith-HOff-
man Identities Him.

One of the most brutal assaults reported
at police headquarters for some time was
that on little Benjamin Hoffman, a small
newsboy, living at Sixth avenue and
Third street.
Hoffman says that while standing at
Hennepin avenue and Washington at D.
NJ. Monday, he was accosted by az col
cred man, who asked him to go on an
errand
The newsboy says he was led into the
rear entrance of Pence's old theater on
Second street and told to climb the rear
stairs to the hall above. This he did
closely followed by the eolored man. Upon
reaching the top, Hoffman became alarmed
and begged to be allowed TO 60 The
colored man, realizing that he would make
an outcry, threatened Hoffman with g
knife If he did not continue I'D the stairs
trembling in every limb, the boy did as
he was bid.
AS soon as the negro had his victim in
side the deserted hall, despite all attempts
OF the boy to escape, his assailant sub
lected him to most revolving assault.
AS soon as the police department
learned of the affair. a search was made
for the offender. Assisted by very good
description furnished by Hoffman and by
the added Identification of a peculiar dice
finger ring, Inspector Williams was able
to find colored man answering the de-
scription.
5. T.. Smith is the name the fellow gave
when taken to the station early this morn
ing. He denies all knowledge Of the
assault, but has been positively identified
by Hoffman. The latter is now under
surgical care.

A YICARIOUS SUFFERING
HAMrLToN's IDEA OF HIS CASE
His Attorneys Have Not Yet Decided
To Take Any Further
Steps.

Frank H. Hamilton will not be taken
to saltwater until his attorneys decide
as to the advisability of seeking new
trial. Frank NJ. Nye one of his attorneys,
yesterday that both he and Mr..
Penney were still undecided about arguing
the motion for a new trial or appealing
the case. No decision. he thought. would
be reached for few days.
The defense can hope to base a motion
for a new trial only on new evidence. So
far as known no new evidence has cropped
out on which the court would be apt to
grant such a motion
In the meantime Hamilton is making
the best of what he calls "bad business"
in the cell in the county Jail. which has
been his living quarters for three months.
His location has not been changed, nor
has there been any disposition to make
his confinement close since his conviction.
He is still allowed to see and converse
with his friends, and is allowed the COM
forts which make his lot more tolerable
He has no disposition to criticise any
one. He simply says that his case is a
monumental instance of the miscarriage
of justices He says that "vicarious suf-
fering,' as he calsl it, is a hard thing
to hear.

In the Occur d'Alenes district in Idaho
and In numerous other places in Montana
and in Idaho, mining camps are rolling out
millions of dollars in the precious and
sem1-prectous metals. This would be du-
plicated were railroads built to other
camps. If the magical wand of irrigation
is applied to the valley and railroads built
along each and access thereby afforded to
the mines in the mountains on both sides,
new rich districts by the score will be
opened.
The people of Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington ask the assistance Of the merchants
and business men of Minneapolis and ST.
Paul and the cooperation of the news
papers towards securing prompt action
and the passage of this bilf through con-
gress. 1t means thousands of new en-
ployes in factories and business houses.
and additional employees in the railroad
shops and in operating new trains which
must be put on to carry the business.
There are examples of all of the western
states Of what irrigation will do in turn
ing the desert into an oasis. Along the
Yellowstone, in the Gallatin valley. are
hundreds of thousands of acres under the
highest form of cultivation watered by
small individual ditches and these are but
a sample of what can be done when the
government takes hold on a large scale.

RENTS WILL STICK
Agents Will Not Advance Residence
Rents Now.
BUSINESS LOCATIONS ARE HIGHER
The Advance Made Last Year PIeases
the Agents-A Brisk Demand
for Houses.

The rental agents say there will be no
advance in rents this spring. even though
1t is trifie early to make predictions.
While there are no great number of first
class, desirable houses for rent, the num-
ber listed is sufficient to prevent another
10 per cent boost in the monthly rental
rate.
The advance made eighteen months ago,
which was followed by an agrrment some
six months later still holds good. That
agreement was for a general advance OF
from 10 to 15 per cent, and the rates de-
termined upon at that time Will hold
through the present season.
1t is still little early to indicate the
demand for houses, as most of the leases
will not expire for a month or more, but
the agents are unanimous in the opinion
that there will be no advance in residence
properties. good many tenants have
applied for houses, mostly first-class
dwellings that rent from $50 to $50 per
month, and a large majority of them are
out town people who have just moved
to the city. The number of inquiries from
this class of people is so great that an
exceptionally good season for the rental
agents is assured.
A Brisk Demand.
The business of the agents varies great
ly. One grim reports no less than twenty
five or thirty houses available at present
that rent for from $40 to $50 per month.
Another large firm has but three or four
desirable houses. Between these extremes,
a dozen different agents make statements
leaning to the good market view of the
situation.
A representative real estate man said
this morning that the raise in rents one
year ago amply satisfied the agents who
had not previously been getting their just
dues The organization of the rental
board, the determination to protect them
selves against bad tenants, and the agree
ment respecting leases for flats, had en-
abled the agents to get along very we'll.
However, the number of vacant houses,
emphasizing the old question of supply and
demand, would prevent any increase in
rents this year.
Business Rents Higher.
The foregoing statements apply only to
residence property. There is decided in
crease in rents in the downtown district.
particularly in wholesale quarters. Nicol-
let avenue rents have been steadily creep
ing up for months, and there is no telling
where they will stop. Dozens of new firms
from other cities are seeking locations in
Minneapolis, fact which explains the
great demand for improved business prop
erty in the heart of the city.

Probably the first statue Of a Maine man
to permanently adorn the public parks OF
Washington will be that of the poet and

Although the state has been prominent in
politics and in government for many
years. furnishing prominent men by the
score. there is not single statue to a
Maine man among the numerous statues
in the many parks there.
The action of the house committee in
recommending an appropriation of $4,000
for a pedestal to a statue to Longfellow
promise to result before long in a con-
