The capitalization of the industrial,
railway, and other corporations, the mar
ket value of which has been cut in two
this week, is not large, and the securi-
ties have not been wisely distributed.
The chances are that the sharp declines
that have taken place, and the closing
out of loans incidental thereto, have re-
suited in a wider distribution of the Sc
curities referred to than those interested
in them have effected by many weeks OF
manipulation in the market.
The liquidation in these securities.
which now appears to have been COM
pleted, may be compared to the removal
of malignant excrescence from the body,
which. though painful and likely to re-
suit in feverish condition. is not dan
gerose and accelerates the recovery of
the patient. The stock market. which
was unsettled yesterday while the opera
tion was in progress, just as IL was in
the middle of the week when the liqui-
dation in international Power took place.
reflected in the early dealings apprehen-
sions that had been intensified over night.
and which had not been removed by the
information regarding the local situation
published this morning.

The st. Anthony Park Light and Pow

Ofhcers of the company claim it is so

The protest was made through Aid

gal department has so shaped the ordi-
nance as to make operations under it
practcaly prohibitive. He says the fran
chlse is necessary for the material in
tefests of the factories in st. Anthony
Fark, and is not money-making scheme
on the part of the owners He wants
the franchise given with as few re
strictions as possible.

PRESIDENT A. T. Ankeny, of the state

studied in a practical manner the oues-

exemption. clause is new and interesting
To Gil 0 b e he said:
The proposed tax bill is "a monstros-
n.y. 1t is almost Impossible to conceive
now three as able men could have gotten
togetper SO many impracticable notions.
FOR instance, where is the necessity of
compelling banker to disclose the
names Of his depositors and the amounts
on hand the first day of each April.
Even II he could TELL he dare not do so
under that rule of privilege which the
law accofdS to him. Attempt this and
you ruin not only the banks but the bor-
foWers. Again; the constitution provides
an exemption mot to exceed $500 in

code TINS is frittered away to $25. | hold
that the words mot to exceed 5000, m

amount If you can reduce it to S25. Won
can reduce it to 81, and that would be
ABSURD. Even, our present exemption If
$loo is thus at fault and much more 81
would be that of $25."
Asked as to the political effect and the
ponucal possibilities of the bin. Mr.

Swift's Union stock FoOd Company
Is Name Which Has Given
OGense to Windy City

Swift G Co, of Chicago, in complaint
sworn to by Gustavus F. Swift, president
of that corporation, and filed yesterday

Jr. and Charles w. Braden from the use
Of the name of the Swift, or Swift's

poultry food. The petition also prays the
court to require the defendants to render
a full, true and complete account of all
profits made by them in the past by the
use of the name of Swift in various
forms and combinations which are
enumerated at length.
A temporary injunction to that effect
has been granted and the case has been
set for hearing Feb TO- The bll of com-
plant in the case is q long one and much
space is devoted to narration of the
business status of Swift & Co., and the
prestige that has accrued to the name
of Swift through the manufacture and
sale of various commodities among which
are stock and poultry foods and. other
remedies for domestic animals.
1t is related that the defendants have
been engaged in the manufacture and
sale of certain products similar to those
manufactured and sold by the orator and
have on the packages in which those
products are put up used tie printed
statement:
Manufactured only by Swift's Union

'Swifts Union,'' or "Swift's Union
Stock" and Swift's Union Stock Food
company and pay to the orator the full
amount OF such profit. 1t is also asked
that the defendants be forever enjoined
from the further use of the names

TIRED OF WAITING
CITIZENS DELUGE COUNCIL WITH
COMPLAINTS ON
LIGHT
TWO WEEKS OF DARKNESS YET
Cleveland COmpany's Offer Not SO
AIiuring Upon InyestigatiOn-
would Cost City
Good sum.

Residence sections of the city, whose
street illumination of a dark night is
furnished through the medium of a COM
mon gasoline lamp have been denied light
of any kind for nearly three weeks and
in consequence the members of the coun-
ell are deluged with complaints
The Cleveland Vapor Light company
which holds the contract fer these lights
filed its bond yesterday and secured the
signature of the mayor and comptroller
to the contract, but the company still has
fifteen days in which to get ready be-
fore turning on the lights. AS the COM
pany is somewhat handicapped in enter
ing new field it is expected that adj
vantage viii be taken of the limit set.
Property owners who figured on having
their streets decorated with the new in
candescents, a contract for eco of which
was given to Robert Seger, are much dis
appointed, and when the next contract
is let will go before the council and ask
that the old lamps be discarded for all
time.
The Cleveland firm made proposition
to the council to install incandescent
lamps and turn the plant over to the city
at the close of the contract. The propo-
sition was received with favor by some
OF the members, but they have since been
doing some figuring and are not so taken
Win the Scneme now. The company
agreed to furnish and maintain the lamps
the first year for $29 each, they to become
the property of the city at the close of
the contract The only obligation inn
posed was that the city pay for the iron
post used and the cost of installing the
same.
The American Development company
agreed to furnish and maintain the lamps
only for $29 each. City Engineer Claus
sen has figured that the posts, the cost
of planting them and the interest will
amount to $685. which with the diff
ference in candle power will practically
make the cost per lamp for the first
year under the Cleveland proposition
$3.50. Compared with the figures for
rental only there is a difference of over
$40 per lamp. Those who have been doing
the figuring claim that the city would not
be receiving a gift, bur would be paying
about 1875 for every lamp turned over
at the close of the contract in addition
to an investment of $12 in every post
used.
This is the price for which the company
offers TO sell them singIy to the city. The
next contract for light will be in June
and Will be for a period of six months
