prepared certain number of registra-
ton lists, charging 1919 each, fair
price. But a go-between substituted a
bill calling for $1,000 for each. and after
paying the printers bill. pocketed the
balance. To use the mildest term, this
is irregular. If the county is to pay
gratuities OF this sort we may expect
the tax rate to remain at It's present
high notch, or to take further Jump.

J. s Supreme Court Grants Motion to Take Up Legal
 fly of Constitution
JURISDICTION IS MAIN
 POINT ID BE DECIDED
There Will Be No Oral Argument, But Case Will Be Presented On Printed Brief-AppeaIed
 From Montgomery.

Washington November 10.-The Unit ed States supreme court today granted a motion for an early hearing in the case of Jackson w. Giles versus the board of registration of Montgomery, Ala, involv- ing the question whether the suffrage provisions of the new constitution of the state of Alabama is repugnant to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States.
 Giles, who is a negro. and resides in Montgomery county, alleges that the board of registration refused to register him and 5000 others of his race on ac- count of their color. while certificates were issued to all white men who made application. This. he says, was done to prevent the members of his race exer- cising the right of franchise in the recent election.
 The question of Jurisdiction is the prin- cipal point involved in the case and there will be no oral argument, the case being presented on printed briefs.

ISLE OF PINES IN
 STATE OF ANARCHY
PRESIDENT HAS ASKED THE SEC RETARY OF WAR TO MAKE RE- PORT ON CONDITIONS THERE. PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.

Washington, November 10.-President Roosevelt has asked the secretary of war to make a report on the situation re garding the Isle of Pines, as it was at the time of the withdrawal of the United States from Cuba, and also on the gov ernment of that island during the time the United States was in control of Cuba
 In an interview upon the condition of affairs upon the island, T. J. Keenan, of Pittsburg, who Is president of the Ameri- can Residents and Property Owners as- sociation of the island, said that the con- dition of affairs on the island was so bad that United States Minister Squiers had virtually advised delegation of Ameri- can Pine islanders, who recently called on him in Havana to take the matter into their own hands and establish provi- sional government. Continuing MT. Keenan said:
 "The Isle of Pines is on the verge of anarchy, having no governor, no courts' or magistrates, no schools and no reve- nue. All taxes and customs dues paid by the islanders go into the Cuban treas- ury and not cent is expended for their benefit. All property and other records are kept in Cuba and transfers of real estate are rendered almost impossible by the enormous fees demanded by Cuban officials All elections have been suspend ed and American interests are absolutely unprotected, and yet American citizens own nearly one-half of the island and are a majority of the tax paying population"

TWO OF THE LINES
 ANSWER COMPLAINT
ILLINOIS CENTRAL AND cINclN- MATT, NEW ORLEANS AND TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROADS DENY THAT THEY ARE IN COMBINATION

Washington, November 10.-The Illinois Central and the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific railroads, two of the lines named as defendants in the com plaint of the Kentucky state railroad commission, charging merger of inter- ests of all the railroads in the southern territory, today filed answers with the interstate commerce commission, making a general denial of the allegations in the complaint.
 The answers specifically deny that the. defendant railroad companies cover all the important railroad points and consti- ute all the railroad lines within the ter ritory south of Baltimore, Louisville and the Ohio river to the Gulf of Mexico, and eastwardly from the Mississippi river to the Atlantic ocean. The answers formal ly deny that J. P. Morgan & Co.,, of New York, have become in effect the legal owners or control the affairs of the rail road, owned or controlled or operated by the Illinois Central. The Illinois Centrals answer denies that Morgan & Go. have become trustees for the owners of the stock of the Illinois Central; denies that the several lines made defendants will practically become one system, operating and controlled and dominated by a few individuals and recites that the Illinois Central absolutely is independent of it's several defendants, and is controlled sole ly by its own stockholders without any outside interference or domination.
 It denies that the Illinois Central has any contract, agreement arrangement with any of the other defendant railroads for consolidation, joint ownership, joint control or other scheme to prevent com petition or in any way to pool the freights and denies the existence of anything whereby the company's business or the operation or control of any of the roads it controls or operates can or will be brought under the domination of any sim gle individual.
 The answer of the Texas Pacific sys- tenn says 1t has no knowledge whatever of the Morgan firm controlling the prop erty mentioned in the complaint or has secured the control management and op- erar;cn of the affairs of the various lines; denies that the business of the southern roads mentioned will Tn any manner at all be dominated or controlled py few individuals, and denies knowledge of all the charges in detail, and demands proof of that or the dismissal of the complaint.

ESTIMATE IS REASONABLE.
Increase of Rural Free Delivery Has
 Made Appropriation Necessary.

Washington, November 10.-The annual report of Robert J. Wynne, assistant postmaster general, urges that in view of the success of the rural free delivery es- tahlishment and it's future necessities, the recommendation for SIP, 1855. 800 in the estimates for that purpose is reasonable. The amount is an increase of a little more than $5,OOO,0OO over the current fis- cal year. To correct what the report considers the injustice of compelling a postmaster to pay part of his salary for clerk hire. MT. Wynne urges legislation authorizing the postoffice department to make allowances for clerk hire at third class postoffices when it is satisfactorily shown that the postmaster, devoting his time and attention to the office, Is unable to transact the postoffce business The advisability of erecting public buildings for the establishment of branch postof- fees in cities is discussed and the plan is endorsed as economical to the govern ment The report says the establishment and extension of pneumatic tube service will make it necessary to secure perma- nent sites for stations in the large cities. The report says an effort has been made to equalize the salaries of clerks in first and second-class postoffices by promo ton of low saaried but efficient clerks.
 In the city delivery service a plan is proposed whereby in the larger cities sub-carriers shall receive at least sS0 month and in the smaller cities $25 a month Sub-carriers cannot now count on a fixed income.

THEFT NOT HIS MOTIVE.
Woman Says Boy Could Have Secured
 Assistance By Asking for It.

Louisville November 10.-Mrs. Julia Long, the mother of John McAtee. the Kansas City Southern clerk who is re- ported to have committed suicide in Kan sas City yesterday. because of an ac- cusation of attempted ribbery, rejects the story of theft as the motive. She says John McAtee Is an only son and could have had financial assistance had he ask ed for 1t.
 gruesome coincidence comes to light in connection with the death of McAtee. When he was young man he was inti- mate with three other well known young men-Irving Gilis, Dudley Reynolds and will Ccker Each of these men have since died by his own hand. and McAtee is the last of the quartette to takc his life.

RAIN INTERFERED.
Public Demonstration In Havana In
 Interest of Cock Fighting.

Havana, November 10.--A heavy rain interfered with the public demonstration which was held here today in the interest of legalizing cockfighting in Cuba and resembling the military order prohibiting it. There were five bands of music in the procession, which marched through the streets of Havana, but only five hundred countrymen on foot and on horseback turned out for the occasion. Banners proclaiming cockhghting 10 be the na- tional sport of Cuba were much in evi- dence.
 Several winning game cocks were proud ly exhibited in the procession. The dem constructors were refused an audience by President Palma, but presented their pe- tition in favor of cockfghting to the sem ate.
