WRIGHT EXTRADITED
Arguments Heard in the United States
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 28-In
the United States supreme court the
hearing in the extradition case of Whit
aker Wright was begun today. Samuel
Untermeyer appearing for Mr.. Wright,
Charles Fox, representing the British
government, and Solicitor General Hoy
the United States. The case comes
here on an appeal from an order of the
United States circuit court for the
southern district of New York, dis
missing writs of habeas corpus and
certiorari issued on Wright's petition
and denying his application for release
on bail.
The most striking feature of the pro-
| ceedings today was the presentation
of an affidavit made by Mr.. Fox that
the appeal was from a decision in a
| case which had been instituted on
| March 6, whereas the British govern
| ment had sought to abandon the pro-
| ceedings then begun and had asked for
the discharge Of Wright from custody
| under those proceedings. He claimed,
| therefore, that the court practically
was sitting in moot case. He related
the particulars Of the subsequent pro-
ceedings by the circuit court which
were instituted March 81, from which
| there has been no appeal. The COM
plant of the 31st was along the same
! lines. The commissioner who had
| heard the case had declined to dismiss
on the ground that the case had passed
from him. Mr.. Fox claimed that the
crime with which Wright is charged,
VIZ: that of fraud as the director of a
company, is extraditable.
Mr.. Untermeyer, speaking for
| Wright, contended that the complaint
does not state sufficient facts to con-
stitute any crime which is extraditable
within the meaning of any of the
| treaties between the United States and
Great Britain. The arguments were not
finished when court adjourned.

TELLS OF INDUSTRIAL
BOOM IN CANADA
Consul General at Montreal Sums Up
the Things Doing.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2S.-In
ort to the state department Con-
General Bittinger, at Montreal, says
that never before in the history of
Canada has the industrial outlook been
SO bright as today. American capital
promises to make the present year
memorable by the establishment of
new and immense enterprises and the
enlargement of many of those now ex-
listing. American capital is also start
ing new railroads and banks, and vast
tracts of timber lands have been pur-
chased by new company composed
principally of American capitalists.
Different companies have begun to
mine coal, copper, nickel and gold and
large company has purchased a tract
of land in Montreal on which to erect a
paint factory.
Syndicates have been formed for the
purpose of manufacturing pulp, tim
ber, seeding machines, aluminium, iron,
steel and asbestos. Valuable mica
properties in the provinces of Ontario
and Quebec recently have been pur-
chased by United States capitalists. An
American transportation company has
begun to build ships to be operated be-
tween Duluth, Mimi, and Quebec and
many other investments have been
made of American capital.

NEW YORK FRANCHISE
TAX LAW is UPHELD
Court of Appeals Asyiews a Supreme
a.. Court Decision.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 28.-The court
Of appeals in a decision today unani-
mously sustains the special franchise
tax law, reversing the decision of the
appellate division of the supreme court
and sustaining the decision of Judge
Earl. The decision maintains the pro-
vision for the assessment of the spe-
cial franchises by the state board of
tax commissioners.
There were seven cases, all involv-
ing the same question, the validity of
assessments upon the special fran
chises of the respondent corporations
made by the state board of tax COM
miSsioners under an act of 1899, which
amended the general tax law so as to
include as taxable real property the
rights of street railroad, gas, pipe line,
telegraph, telephone and similar public
service companies in the public streets
and places. Taxes assessed during
the three years. since the passage of
the law amouftsto $1S,412,8S4 upon an
assessed valuatfsn of 1902, for instance,
of $26S, S,O17, 40.
The court holds that the legislature
in creating answ system of taxation,
embracing anew kind of property,
never taxed before, had the right TO
intrust to state officers the power of
making the assessment, and that tam
gible property such as rails and poles,
which had been formerly taxed by
local assessors, is merely incidental
to the special franchise, and hence that
there was no infringement upon local
government. All the judges con-
CURED in the opinion.
NEW YORK, April 2S-William H
Page Jr., counsel for the Metropolitan
Street Railway company in the fran
chise tax cases, said today concerning
