Corporation Attorney J. c. Michael
will fight the street railway COM
pany's suit, which has been expect
ed by him for some time. He will at
cnce institute a suit in the district
court against the street car COM
pany, asking the courts to declare
the old horse car ordinance forfeit
ed as non-user, on the ground that
the provisions of the ordinance have
not been complied with for more
than thirteen years.
The legal annuIment of this or
dinance, Mr.. Michael says, will
leave the street car company moth
ing upon which to base its suit.
Papers in this suit have been pre-
pared for some time, service being
deferred only until the company
commenced its suit, which the city
knew was coming. These papers
will be placed in the hands of Sher-
if Justus for service today.

FORCES ALICE TO PAY
Presidents Daughter Not Ad-
mitted to Worlds Fair Free.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 27.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt was the guest of honor at
the worlds fair grounds today. She
was accompanied by large party of
friends. including Mrs. and Miss Cat
lin. whose guest she is during her stay
in st. Louis.
The first point of interest visited by
Miss Roosevelt was the Illinois state
pavilion. She arrived just as the ded-
icatory exercises were completed and
attended the reception.
Owing to a mistake, the daughter of
the president, to whom it was intended
to extend the courtesies of the worlds
fair, was forced to pay the regular ad-
mission fee.
Instructions had been given to gate
keepers to admit Miss Roosevelt in an
automobile" but as she approached the
gate in a phaeton the guard consider
ed that it was his duty to demand adj
mission fee.

ment has devised a plan for establish-
ing wireless telegraph stations at fire.
quent intervals along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts and insular possessions
of the United States, and that these
stations will be free for the use Of the
public. This ambitious scheme was de-
vised by the general board of the navy
and has been under consideration for
some time by the bureau of equipment.
The department has already establish
ed or has under way twenty eight
wireless stations, and about as many
more will be established as soon as
sites can be obtained.
The stations will be primarily for the
use of the navy in coast Defense but
land telegraph companies, newspapers,
maritime associations and the public
generally will be allowed to send mes
sages between stations and passing
steamships, and it is expected that no
charge will be made. President Roose-

tons in the United States.

Corporation Attorney Michael last
night disclosed his plan of fighting the
street car company in its efforts to Sc
cure permission from the courts to
construct and extend it's lines in the
city without subjecting itself to the
payment of the per cent gross earn
ings tax, provided by the city charter.
The corporation attorney made
known his plans following the COM
mencement of the suit brought by the
street car company against the city in
the United States district court yester-
day afternoon, an action brought by the
company to determine its rights under
existing ordinances.
The street car company bases many
of its claims on privileges granted it by
the old horse car ordinance, passed in
1872, which gives it a right to build on
any streets in the city.
This contention on the part of the
company has been anticipated by Cor
poTatiOn Attorney Michael, and today
suit will be instituted by the city in
Che district court, asking for the for
fixture of the horse car ordinance on
the ground that the ordinance is void
because of the fact that the street car
company has not operated under it's
provisions for more than thirteen
years.
The complaint and other papers in
this suit have been prepared for some
time, in anticipation of the suit brought
in the federal court by the street car
company yesterday, and will be placed
in the hands of Sheriff Justus for
service today.
The developments of yesterday, when
the suit was commenced by the street
car company, and the beginning of the
suit by the city today, is the beginning
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-05-28

The suit filed in the federal court
yesterday by the street car company
against the city is an action to de-
termine the authority of the COM
pany to construct new lines and
extend old ones within the city linn
its without subjecting the earnings
of the entire system to the 5 per
cent gross earnings tax, provided
for by the city charter.
The company contends that Ordi-
nance No. 81, being the old horse
car ordinance of 1872, gives it the
authority to construct lines on
whatever streets it desires, and un-
der Ordinance No. 1902, passed in
1891, and known as the electric
ordinance, the company claims the
right to maintain electric lines on
all of the streets over which it has
lines. BY a combination of these
two ordinances, the company hopes
to prevent the city from enforcing
the collection of the gross earnings
tax.

of the end of the fight between the
city and the street car company over
the liability of the company for the
payment of the per cent gross earn
ings tax, after months of sparring by
both sides, and the cases, involving as
they do, so many thousands of dollars,
will undoubtedly be fought to the high
est courts, no matter which side gains
the upper hand in the preliminary
struggle.
Company Forces Fight.
After waiting for months for the CITY
to take the initiative in the fight, the
street car company has decided to
force matters to an issue, and in the
United States circuit court yesterday
the attorneys for the company filed an
action against the city, asking for an
injunction restraining the city from
interfering with any of the company's
alleged rights under existing ordi-
nances, and from in anyway enforcing
the provisions of the city charter re-
curing the company to pay a 8 per
cent gross earnings tax under stated
conditions.
The complaint filed by the street car
company covers some sixty typewrit-
ten pages, the various ordinances un-
der which the company claims rights
being reproduced in their entirety. The
company sets forth it's rights under
Ordinance No. 81, which is the old
horse-car ordinance passed in 1872, and
also under the ordinance passed in
1891, by which the company is author
lied to use electricity as motive power.
The company contends that it has
the right to Law or extend anV of its
tracks upon streets not now occupied
by it, or to make any farther extern
sion without subjecting the entire sys-
tenn to the per cent gross earnings
