SAY FRANCHISES ARE
ALMOST VALUELESS
TWO Wisconsin Rail Lines Fight Against
Assessments.

MADISON. Wis, Feb. 1s.-At hearing
before the state tax commission this aft
ernoon, representatives Of the North
Western and Milwaukee railroad COM
pantes argued that the franchises of their
companies had little value and should not
be assessed for more than the nominal
sum 1t cost to secure them. Unlike some
street railway and other franchises, those
held by the North Western and Milwaukee
roads are. 1t was contended, not exclusive
and, consequently, should not be valued at
more than cost.
The railway men, however, conceded
that there was certain intangible value
in railway property, represented by good
VIII on the part of patrons. and good
management on the part of the men in
charge Of 1T. that should be considered In
assessing such property.
They vigorously protested against the
assessment Of railway property on the
stock and bond theory, which IS the as
sessment Of such property on the basis
of its earning capacity.

FINDS A HORSESHOE
THAT BRINGS BAD LUCK
James A. Campbell Picks II Up and
Then Gets Two Bad Falls.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-'Tf any one

ask him where he got off," says James
III. Campbell, whose present address Ia
Cot No. Is, Ward No. q New York
hospital. Campbell found horseshoe
yesterday morning and took It as an
omen Of happy days.
Things began to happen right away
for Campbell. He walked south q
block on Sixth avenue to Thirty
fourth street, looking around for the
first bunch Of luck. when ne tr1pped
his toe and fell on his chin on a sharp
piece Of ice. He didn't know anything
until he woke UP In the New York hos
pital after DR.. Erskine had taken him
there In an ambulance and bandaged
him up.

the bandages were properly adjusted
Better stay till tonight" suggested
DR.. Erskine. Campbell said he would
think 1t over, and they left him alone
in the reception room.
I'll be missing that luck" he de-
cided, "and I'd better be moving" So
he walked out without any one know
ing 1t. He decided not to risk walking
again, and got on a Sixth avenue car.
Half an hour later there came an
other ambulance call. DR.. Erskine this
sixth street. He found a man who had
executed q double somersault back
ward over the rear dashboard OF a car
that stopped too suddenly for him. He
had landed on his nose. Dr. Erskine
thought the bandages looked surpris-
ingly familiar, and he began to UNI
wind them.
Eyes, It's l." said the man, when the
surgeon got the linen clear of his
mouth and one eye.
you will go to the hospital and
stay now, won't you?" asked Erskine.
Indeed, I will" said Campbell, and
just to avoid trouble, doc, we had bet
ter get rid of this before we start or
in the bus"
Campbell took the horseshoe from
his pocket and threw it into the gut
ter. "Now, don't wish any one hard
luck" he said, but just wish my boss
picks that up. He owes me money"

UNION IS FORMED
BY SECTION HANDS
Organization VIII Include the
Men of All Western
Lines.

Much uneasiness prevails among st.
Paul railway managers over a move
ment inaugurated by section foremen
on Western, Southwestern and South
ern lines and the roads in the Central
Freight association territory to organ
lie unions of section hands with the
purpose of asking more pay.
Secret meetings of foremen have
been held in the last six weeks at rail-
road centers and junction points. The
general hangers of the railroads do
not know to what extent this move
ment has spread, but they fear that a
concerted demand for higher wages
will be made by the section men in the
spring.
Several years ago a similar move
ment was started in the West by the
section hands, but the railroads sue
ceeded In breaking it. The men on the
Minneapolis & st. Louis and the Illi-
nols Central, 1t Is said, already are or
ganlZed, and one union is said to be
ready to transact business.
The standard of wages Of section
hands is $1.25 a day or 1914 cents an
hour. For emergency or special con-
struction work as high as 81 a day has
been paid. In winter, when little work
can be done on tracks, the pay is
only $1.25 day. The North western
paid $1.50 last summer and continued
the schedule until Jan. 1, when a re-
duction was made to $1.25. The stand
ard for section hands formerly was
only $1.10, and the North Western lines
were the first TO raise Its men are
said to be leaders in the present move
ment
Railroad officials say they will not
be able under existing conditions to
raise the pay of section hands and If
the men should become troublesome 1t
only would mean the abandonment of
much of the construction work planned
for next summer.

FIGHTING ON YALU|
Russians Surprised Japanese
Near Win.
1 DETACHMENT WAS WIPED OUT
Japanese Were Shot, BnyOneted and
Drowned Cars Troops Occupy
Right Bank In Great Force to
Bar Passage of the River.

LONDON, April ia st. Peters
burg special says General Kuropatkin
in a dispatch to the emperor reports
that General Krasnalinski OH the
night Of April 8 ordered Il detachment
Of s~harpshooters to cross to the left
bank of the Yalu opposite WIFI. The
sharpshooters landed on the island of
Samalind and surprised a patrol of
fifty japanese scouts just as the latter
were approaching the east side of the
island in three boats.
The Russians allowed the Japanese
to land and then fired on them. Near
ly all the Japanese were shot, bay
oneted or drowned and their boats
sunk. The Russians sustained no
losses.
On the night of April 8 four Rus
slams crossed the Yalu to Y%ongampho
and made toward d Russian village,
where they found a squadron of Jap
anese cavalry. They remained there
twelve hours, when they were betray-
ed by Koreans and found themselves
obliged to swim the river, their boat
having stuck on Il sand bank. One
Russian soldier lost his life. The jap
anese pursued the Russians in a boat,
but were in turn attacked by a Rus
sian boat which had come to the res
u of the swimmers. The Japanese
were all killed and their boat sunk.
Thus fighting has commenced on
the Yalu river.
1t Is known that the Russians oc-
cupy the right bank of the river in
great force.
The position of the Russians Is
strong, and, while it is doubted that
they will be able to prevent the Japa-
nese from crossing the river at all
points, it is regarded as certain that
they will offer great opposition.
A report from Tengchow, forty miles
northwest of Chefu, says:
Sounds of very heavy firing were
heard at half past 6 o'clock this
"wednesday morning. The firing ev-
identity was being done between here
and Port Arthur. 1t is believed at
Tengchow that the long expected sea
taken place.

ing an admiral's flag, was seen off
Chefu yesterday going to the west,

mainder of the japanese fleet was in
the vicinity of Port Arthur. The Rus
sian fleet also was seen outside Port

was to be paid In installments and
with monthly usurious interest. The

that what she had already paid in in

loan and a reasonable interest.

asked the judge Of the plaintiff; you
will then have had ten per cent. on the

The plaintiff would accept nothing
less than the full amount to which the

"Then," said the Judge, although
cannot invalidate the agreement, I can
make an order, which, l think, will fit
the case. | give judgment for the full
amount, to be paid at the rate of six
pence a month"
This was the "iIstallment system
