GROSS EARNINGS NOT REPORTED
Railroads Said to Owe Wisconsin
Some Sixty eight Thousand
Dollars.

MADISON. Wis, April 26.-Follow-
ing the example of Minnesota, the
state of Wisconsin is conducting an
investigation of the books and records
of the big railway companies to see
if they have reported their entire gross
earnings for taxation purposes.
In report to the governor on the
investigation SO far carried on, Rail
road Commissioner John w. Thomas
of Chippewa Falls, says that for 1901
and 1902 four of the large roads failed
to report s1,69S,O76.73 of their gross
earnings. and consequently owe the
state $67,923.G7 in back ta~oe. -''~a de-
linquent roads are: Northwestern
short $737,69O55; Milwaukee, $685.
1895; Omaha, $173,53O.65, and 500.
$14S0945S.
The Wisconsin Centrars books have
been checked over for 1902. the COM
missioner says. but the work has not
been verified and has therefore not
been included in the report. The short
ages, according to the commissioners
include only the rebates paid to ship
pers and earnings that should have
been apportioned to this state instead
of to others.
The publication of the report is ex-
pected to help Governor Ia Toilette in
the contest for delegates to the repub-
lican state convention, which meets

managed to get Lewis to stop swear
ing and coaxed him out of the hotel
onto the sidewalk. There their quar-
rel was renewed, and Lewis called
him a liar, and told him to get his
one of those things myself" Lewis
then left the hotel and went to Nc
Clouds dive. where he asked a friend
for the loan of a pistol. Patton tes-
tilted to having been in the saloon
when Lewis made such a request. He
then got out Of the saloon by the back
way and went to the hotel y few
minutes afterwards he was told by
two men that Lewis intended to have
trouble with him. From one of these
men he borrowed a pistol-the one he
used.
At the time of the shooting Patton
was leaning against the counter in
the hotel office, and when Lewis
opened the office door and began to
swear at him Patton, without chang
ing his position, pulled the weapon
from his coat pocket and shot Lewis

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE SUD.
DENLY DISAPPEARS FROM
THE SCENE.
Cause of the Tragedy at CuIdesac-
Prisoner Patton Pleaded Guilty
to Murder.

LEWISTON, Idaho, April 26.-J. O..
Patton, the slayer of Charles Lewis
at Culdesac, is in the county Jail and
has apparently recovered from the eX
element under which he was laboring
when brought here. He was visited
by his wife Sunday. At the request
of the prisoner, Prosecuting Attorney
Johnson will not file complaint
against Patton until the arrival of
his attorney, John Green, from Seat
tie. He will be assisted in the defense
by Judge r. S. Anderson, of this place.
Prosecuting Attorney Johnson and
Coroner Vassar have returned from
Culdesac and say the excitement
over the killing has quoted. Mr.. John
son said: Il was unable to learn the
trouble occurred. During the night
following the tragedy the woman dis
appeared. Among her associates in
the town no one appeared to know
her real name. She was generally
called Miss Jones. Several people in
formed the officers that she was a
farmers daughter from the Forest
EeighbOrhOOd, while others thought,
her home was in the vicinity of Spald-
ing. Patton admitted at the inquest
that he knew her to be a woman Of
loose morals, but claimed she had
been staying at the hotel only a few

to pull a pistol or otherwise assault
him.
Persons who knew Lewis in Guide
sac say his principal occupation was
gambling.
Immediately after the killing Of
Lewis Patton was taken before the
local justice of the peace and pleaded
guilty to a charge of murder. He ad
mitted this at the inquest, but eX
planned that at the time he was great
ly excited and simply meant to admit
that he had killed Lewis. Patton's pre-
liminary examination will probably be
held early next week. Prosecuting
Attorney Johnson has not decided
whether he will endeavor to hold the
trial in the district court at this term.
"BootIegging."
The coroner's inquest developed the
fact that number of "bootlegging'
establishments We're being conducted
in Cudesac, where liquor was sold
openly. The county authorities claim
that the regulation of the bootleg
ging' on reservation towns rests en-
tirely with the federal authorities.

they car deaf neither with US nor
with any Other nation.
But wTetchel as our policy IN the
Philippines tI:.s been to the unfor-
tunate f~ilipInp., it promises to be
still more Injurious at home, for that
policy IS a Dig for ward step towards
a general Imperiallstic policy. It
means that we are drifting from a
republic to an empire, from liberty
to materlalism.

for Alton Brooks Parker. If he
