GEORGIA CAN'T TAX
 FOREIGN CONCERNS
COMPTROLLER ENDOWED FROM
 COLLECTING TAXES ON $1 500, ,O00 STOCK IN WESTERN OF ALA BAMA R.R.-L. & N. BRINGS SUIT.

Atlanta, Ga. April 7.-An order was is- sued by Judge Newman in the United States Circuit Court here today enJoining State Comptroller General Wright from collecting taxes on shares of $1.500,000 of stock in the Western of Alabama railroad owned by the Georgia Railroad Company
 The injunction is the result of a suit brought against Comptroller General Wright by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company and the Atlantic Coast Line, lessees of the Georgia Railroad, to prevent the collection of these taxes.
 The attorney of the state in an opinion declared that shares of stock in a for eign corporation, held by a resident of Georgia, were subject to taxation, and that as the Georgia Railroad and Bank ing Company was a Georgia corporation, owning shares of stock in the Western Railroad of Alabama, 1t was liable to the State for taxes thereon.
 Judge Newman In his decision today stated there was no State law authorizing taxation by the State of Georgia upon nronerty located in a different State.
 Taxes on the stock owned by the Geor- sia Railroad had been involved for twelve or thirteen years.

 INFANTICIDE CASES

is saved the expense of his board in jail. The law also requires each notary public and justice of the peace before whom a defendant Is tried and committed TOT such crimes to inform the defendant of this right to elect to perform hard labor bending trial and that these justices are required also to render to the grand jury A written statement under oath of each prisoner so bound over.
 Judge Greene then took up the matter of the recent numerous cases or oeao infants being found and the fact that no prosecutions or arrests had followed. He said that it was the duty of every midwife and physician to report the birth of any child and the death of any pa~ tent he or she may have attended. The jury were told that if they found that either of these provisions of the statute had been violated it was their duty to find an indictment, although they did not find that death had been inflicted upon any living child.
 The Jury were instructed as to the laws bearing on "offenses against the suffrage"
 "The changed conditions upon which we are now most auspiciously enter ina" said Judge Greene, "render 1t inn- portant that a wholesome public sentl- ment be eneendered which shall se- verely condemn any fraud at the bal. lot box and insure the prompt ana vigorous punishment of every person guilty of a violation of these laws.'
 The grand jury was organized as fol- lows:

Judge Renders a Strong Decision On
 Action Against Firms.

wilksbarre. Pa. April 7.-In court to- day Judge Ferris rendered an important decision in a boycott case. Last June J. E. Patterson & Co.,. of this city, refused to grant the demands of their employees for an increase of wages. The Building Trades Council then declared a boycott against the firm. The court was appealed to for an injunction to prevent the trades council from carrying out it's threat.
 A temporary injunction was granted and today Judge Ferris made it perma- nent. In the course of his opinion the judge says:
 "The boycott is destructive to personal liberty and utterly subversive to all so- cial order. all law and all government and is therefore unlawful"

COVERS THE ENTIRE FIELD

Richmond, Va, April "A copy of the charter of the Imperial Tobacco Com pany of Great Britain and Ireland, to- gether with the articles of the associa- ton and a power of attorney to James Macdonald to represent the corporation in this country was filed in the chancery court here today.
 The primary object of the association to acquire and take over as going con- cerns certain of the principal tobacco manufacturing concerns in the United Kingdom to carry on generally not only the business of tobacco manufacturers, but also that of planters and growers, ex- porters, importers and merchants.
 The company may prepare for market, manufacture, buy and sell tobacco, to- gether with machinery, and may own to- bacco saloons, divans, cafes or carry on the business of refreshment contractors and licensed Victuallers. They may char ter ships or vessels; may undertake all kinds of financial guarantee and indem- nifty business as we'll as all kinds of agency business, the company may lay out land for building purposes, may ac- quire licenses and entering into agree ments with governments or authorities, supreme or municipal or local. The capi- tai stock of the company Is 95,0O0 GOO.
 Another item of interest Tn tobacco cir cles is that in letters received here from England it is stated independent factories in England which have allied themselves with neither the American Tobacco Com pany nor the Imperial, are likely to de- velop into an unexpected power and may even take the stand of a rival of the Imperial Company for British favor.
 They are showing disposition to buy considerable tobacco at present and ap- l parently renew business. The retailers say the letters appear disposed to back l up the independent factories

 Landsthing Has Two Meetings.
 Copenhagen, April 1.-Two more secret meetings of the Landsthing were held to- day to discuss the Danish West Indies islands treaty but no vote was reached. The opposition made a new motion, name-
 ly to order plebiscite before. and not after, the ratification of the treaty. This
 motion will not be accepted, but it caused the postponement of the vote to the next 1 meeting of the house. which will un
 doubtedly be the last one. A reliable forecast indicates that the
 Landsthing will vote for the ratification of the treaty and plebiscite subsequent to this action
 Herr von Hessen. who was sent to the Danish West Indies in 1901 by the Ma tional Tidende to stir up opposition to the proposed sale to the United States, has returned with glowing reports of his success of his mission. Today he pub lshed an article in the National Tidende,
 in which he declares that influences have been at work in the islands which would
 render a plebiscite at this time worthless to Denmark, as the vote of the inhabit- ants of the islands will result in sale.
 He therefore asks the Landsthing to re-
 ject the treaty outright. This is believed
 to show the desperate straits of the op- position.
 Copenhagen. April Tt Is said that the secret meetings of the Landsthing were
 very stormy and that proposal to reject
 the treaty was defeated by vote of 35 to 2S.

commons during the day to draw out
the parliamentary secretary for the
foreign Office, Lord Cranborne, on the
subject of the Atlantic shipping COM
bine, the Panama canal, the Danish
West Indies treaty and German rail
ways in Asia Minor. Lord Cranborne's
replies did not illuminate the situa-
ton. -.
He said no communications had
passed between the United States and
British governments on the subject of
the shipping combine, nor regarding
the proposed purchases of the Panama
Canal company's right; nor as to the
Danish West Indies. ~
AS to the suggestion that J. Pierpont

which Turkey granted to Germany for
a railroad through Asia Minor to the
Persian gulf, the government, said
Lord Cranborne, had no information
to that effect, ~

THE WEEKLY

Senator Hansbrough is of the opin-
ion that the passage of the pending
Irrigation bill would be a body blow
to the beef trust, and he argues in
wise: Fully 60 per cent Of the land
which irrigation would open up to Gull
~tivation is land which would be used
for the growing of feed for stock.
Perhaps the percentage should be %
instead of 50. The small farmer on
this land would cultivate alfalfa. corn,
fodder and other stock foods, and of
course would grow some of the cereal
grains and raise fruit. But he would
not in any serious way be a competitor
of the wheat grower of the country
farther east, or of the general farmer,
All this talk about competition with
the man who raises small grains Is
nonsense. This stock food would be
used for cattle which would be owned
on each one of these small farms.

BAD SPRING

From Grafton to Fargo, on each side
of the Red river, the land is inundated
for miles and the wheat acreage is
largely reduced-from one quarter ito
a half in some instances, while the
flax acreage will be increased from 5
to 100 per cent. This wet belt"
which it is considered cannot improve
fast enough to allow any considerable
progress in wheat seeding to be made,
extends from Stephen south to Ada on
the Minnesota side, and from Grafton
to Fargo on the North Dakota side of
the river. This territory is about 12O
miles long and varies from thirty
miles to forty miles in width. It is
territory in which wheat raising has
largely predominated, and in most
sections of it almost to the exclusion
of other grains.
st. Thomas. N. D., farmers say they
can make big progress with one week
of warm weather. But a compare.
lively short distance south there is a
radical change in conditions and pros
poets. Seeding has made consider.
able progress in the southern section
of the Red River valley, and the pros.
poets are fair in the western sections
of the valley counties in North Dakota
where the land is generally higher.

A WITH ROAD

PRESIDENT MBLLEN AND OFF,
GALS OF NORTHERN PACIFIC
PLEASED WITH APPEARANCE
OF WASHBURN ROAD COUNTRY
President Mellen, General Manager
Cooper, Chief Engineer Darling and
General superintendent Kimberley re-
turned at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon from a trip over the lines of the
Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls
road, being the guests of Manager
Walker. The members of the party
made the "trip in their own special
cars, drawn by an engine of the
Washburn road. They visited Wilton
and Washburn, and made an inspec-
ton of the coal mines ait Wilton.
Members of the party expressed
themselves as much surprised at the
growth of the country since the COM
pletion of the road. The building op-
erations at both towns were a revela-
ton to them, and the growth of Will
ton. which has been established as a
town only a couple of years was a
matter of much comment among the
members of the party. While the
officials were aware that the ship
ments of coal from Wilton, over the
lines of the Northern Pacific to outside
points were large, they were not pre-
pared for the extensive and modern
machineries which are installed in the
coal mines.
The operation of the road by tele-
phone was also a matter of interest Ito
the N. P. officials and they made in
quiries with regard to the success OF
the system. 1t is probable that the
telephone system of operating will be
installed upon some of the branch lines
of the Northern Pacific.
After visiting both Washburn and
Wilton, and making careful observa'
tion of the surrounding country ani
seeing the hundreds of new farms THAI
have been opened by settlers who have
come to this section of the state il
the past year or so, the officials re
turned to the city and continued thei,
trip west. They have been severa
days on the inspection of this division
as there are now eight branch line!
