TELEGRAPH CASE UP.
Judge Hears Arguments In Suit
Against Western Union Company.


Minneapolis, June ~, Yesterday
Judge ID, +. Simpson listened to the
first presentation in this country of
the case of the state Of Minnesota
AGAINST the Western Union Telegraph
company, The action is To collect n
1000 penalty for the non.pay ment OF -
license fee imposed upon all foreign
corporations doing business In the
state, and the hearing upon the states
demurrer interposed to the defend.
ants answer, Assistant Attorney
General c. w. Somerhy presented the
states case and c, NJ Ferguson ap.
peared as counsel for the company,
The court will announce its decision
within a few days.
The case involves the right of the
state to impose a license upon foreign
corporations. and both the state and
the defendant are making de,
termined fight
Mr.. Somorhy's contention was that
the answer of defendant set up ia
valid defense He argued that the
statute of 1899 provided that all
foreign corporations must file with the
secretary of state by the FIST of July
of that year, a certified copy OF their
| constitution and bylaws, must open an
office and provide an agent in the
state upon whom service of process
could be had, must file a sworn state
ment of property owned In the state
from which data license fee would
| be assessed, and must be paid Ly the
corporation. None of these provisions
according to Mr., Somerhy the de,
| PENDANT company complied with and
these facts were practically admitted
in their answer.
In reply Mr., Ferguson set up that
the Western Union was doing bust
ness under provision of the United
States statutes and that 1t was carry
ing on governmental business as well
as interstate business, neither OF
which Is subject to state taxation.
