BOOTY IS FOUND
HIDDEN IN ST. PAUL
Dusenberry Admits He Has
Been implicated in Many
Jobs in St. Paul :.

Detectives Hansen and Hayes went
to ST. Paul yesterday, in company
with ]. R. Dusenberry. who has been
arrested on the charge of looting sew
eral stores in Minneapolis. The de-
tectives recovered large amount Of
property which had been stolen and
found a coat valued at $125 which had
been appropriated a short time ago.
Dusenberry admitted he was impli-
Gated in several burglaries. particu-
larly those in the Eighth ward, but
he Informed Detective Hansen that he
was not in Washburn's drug store, at
Lake and Hennepin avenue, which was
pIundered the other night.

But cannot most of the prosperity
of Indianapolis be attributed to cheap
fueI?' asked DR.. Schiffmann.
yes, most of it," answered Mr..
Espy, but l do not believe that ST.
Paul has more than two years to wait
when it will have cheap fuel. At the
end of that time it will likely be pos
sibIe to land coal in st. Paul entirely
by water for less than indianapolis
pays today. indianapolis is not only
one of the most prosperous but one of
the smokiest cities in the country
Personally, believe in smoke and
prosperity
Hugh T. Halbert, saying that he
appeared as a private citizen, urged
that the council make no compromise
until the company agrees to pay the
per cent gross earnings tax. He be-
slieved the imposition OF such tax is
entirely reasonable, as it would give
to the city a revenue proportionate to
the constantly increasing value of the
franchise. With an increase propor-
tionate to that since 1900 the company
would in ten years be taking in more
than $2,000,000s a year, whereas in
1900 the amount was about $1,000,0 600.
The tax on the gross earning would
be the best manner by which the city
could collect the full amount of taxes
that should be charged to the COM
pany. In 1904 the gross income of the
St. Paul street railway lines was
$1,566,000, an increase of more than
$150,000 over the previous year.
Same Treatment for ST. Paul
Mr.. Halbert cited a number of in
stances where street railway compa-
MES have been recently granted re-
newals of franz ises, in which the
cities had required concessions. He
thought the st. Paul company should
be treated in the same manner. AS to
the proposal to spend S2,000,000 on exz
tensions, betterments and improve
ments, he did not see why this should
be considered, as the money had been
raised by the company for the pur-
pose.
II believe that the company should
be perfectly willing to pay the gross
earnings tax if it is relieved of likely
reduction in the fare" continued Mr..
Halbert Il do not believe that the
company should be compelled to suffer
a reduction of the fare, as cents is
little enough if transfers are granted
to all lines"
L. ). russell took the stand that the
imposition of 5 per cent on the gross
earnings of the company would likely
mean 20 per cent on the net income,
and argued that this would be too
high He thought the fact that the
company spends a great portion of its
income in ST. Paul and Minneapolis
should be considered in it's favor
There followed the questions from
the assemblynen to Attorney Mum,
and it was agreed. to meet again Fri
day evening and receive the written
proposition of the street railway COM

ing to Kill His Law

Emil Aubrecht, a grocer, who does
business at 3033 Washington avenue
north, is locked up in the North side
police station on the charge of shoot
ing his brother-in-law, Anton Kurke,
of Willow River, MINI. The men have

them over business matters, and yes
terday Kurke concluded to come to
Minneapolis for the purpose of secur-
ing settlement.
Early in the evening he went to Au-
brecht's residence and called for him.
Aubrecht came to the sidewalk and,
according to the story told by Kurke,
they had an acrimonious discussion
and Kurke started to run. He says his
brother in-law drew revolver and
fired at him and the bullet pierced his
overcoat over the right shoulder but
did not infiict any injury.
Policeman James Merfick appre-
hended Aubrecht and Kurke and locked
them up.

ber bullet was found in his clothing.
He was uninjured but badly scared.

DECIDES AGAINST
THE WESTERN UNION
Supreme Court Holds Company
Has No Right of Eminent
Domain

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.AThe SUI
preme court of the United States today
decided the case of the Western Union
Telegraph company VS.. the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad company, involving the
right of the railroad company to re-
move the telegraph company's poles
railroad company. The opinion was
handed down by Justice MeKenna. In
the decision the court held that the
congressional act of 1865, which con-
trolled in the case, does not grant emf
nent domain to telegraph companies
over the private property Of railroad
companies.
Justice Harlan delivered a dissenting
opinion, holding that the act. of 1866
gives to telegraph companies the un-
equivocaI right to construct and oper-
ate lines not only upon the public do
main but along any post road of the
United States, and he contended that
if today's decision was to stand the
United States government could not
itself enter upon the rights of way of
railroad companies.
Justice Brewer eoncurred in the de-
cision, but said he did so because he
considered that the points in contro-
versy had been determined in previous
litigation.
In his opinion Justice McKenna re-
viewed the case from its inception,
saying that 1t came to the supreme
court from the decision of the circuit
court of appeals for the third circuit,
which was adverse to the contentious
of telegraph to the effect that the act
of July IA, 1866, granting right of way
to telegraph alnog post roads gives the
right Of eminent domain, and adding
that the supreme court Sustains that
view. Justice McKennas stated that
the suit began with the filing of a bill
in equity in the United States court in
New Jersey by the telegraph company
to restrain railroad companies from
removing the telegraph poles placed
there in 1881 under twenty years
contract. In the decision he relied
largely upon the courts, holding in the
Pensacola and Ann Arbor cases, rem
dered many years ago by the supreme
court.
The contention of the telegraph COM
pany in this case, as in the case involv-
ing the right Of the railroad company
to remove the poles of the telegraph
company, was that the telegraph com4
pany has the right to maintain it's lines
of telegraph over and along the rail-
roads, of the railroad company, upon
making compensation to the railroad
company for the use SO appropriated,
SO long as the maintenance of its tele--
graph lines does not materially inter-
fere with the ordinary travel of such
roads, and that the right can be as
serted by proceedings in eminent do
main. But this was denied. There
was also an additional element caused
by the claim Of the telegraph COM
pany, as the lessee of the Atlantic &
Ohio Telegraph company, incorporated
by the state In 1S49 and authorized ito
erect and construct works. edifices,
fixtures and structures along and
across any of the roads, highways,
streets and waters within this state,
the said works to be SO placed as not
to interfere with common use Of such
roads, highw ays, streets and waters
This point was decided adversely to
the Western Union, on the ground that
"eminent domain cannot be delegated,

Friday night the Republican mem

1417 G Street
WASHINGTON Dec. 2.-Represen-
tative Tawney was pleasantly sur
prised today. The appointment of w. M.
Hays, of st. Anthony Park, today as
assistant secretary of agriculture was
announced. Mr. Tawney had recon-
mended Hays for the position, but the
president had not intimated what he
would do. Secretary Wilson of the ag-
ricultural department was the strong
est hacker of Hays. He has wanted
him in this place for four years, and
when Mr.. Brigham died he brought the
matter to Mr.. Roosevelt's attention at
once. Mr.. Hays has been cooperating
with the department in breeding work
for number of years, and has as fine
standing among Washington scientists
as any man in his line. He will come
to Washington to reside.

Prof. W. NJ. Hays is professor of ami
NAL husbandry at the State Agricul-
tura1 college, st. Anthony Park. He
has also conducted for some time a
periodical devoted to farming and
stockraising interests and published at
Minneapolis. He is one of the most
widely known authorities on plant and
stock breeding in the United States,
and his writings on animal husbandry
are standard in both American and
Canadian agricultural colleges. The
appointment is not regarded in Min
nesota as political but rather as per-

last summer to the State Agricultural
