An Important Question Settlee

An Important Question Settled.
Milwaukee Free Press: The city OF
New York has about 1875 600, 900 com
ing from the public service corpora
tions In the form of delayed franchise
taxes. This Is comfortable windfall
for q city that never has money
enough to satisfy It's needs. And it Is
to have steady income Of between
four and five millions year and
that will grow larger as the years roll
by, from the same source. For the
supreme court at Washington has
Just decided that II tax on a franchise
Is constitutional tax. This decision
Is therefore the law, not only in New
York, but in every other state. 1t re-
mains for the other states to take adj
vantage OF the laws benefits.
1t was away back when Theodore
Roosevelt was governor Of New York,
before Plat got him nominated for
vicc-p president, to get rid of HIM, that
he the governor asked the legisla-
turc to make the necessary law to tax
special franchises.

SAILOR TELLS IF SCENES IF DEATH British and Russian Lawyers Indulge in Wfang|ss ONE MAN SAW TORPEDO BOAT He at Least Thought It Was Such, But Soon Discovered That the
 Vessel Was Only a
 Trawler.
ONE MAN SAW TORPEDO BOAT

Paris, January 26.-The International commission to inquire into the North sea icident resumed it's sittlngs today with diminished attendance and interest. owing to many fishermen witnesses re- beating practically the same story that Captain Welpton of the trawler Mino. describing the terrible cannonading of the Russian warships.
 Twelve shots struck the Mino, one go- ing through her galley and another cut ting her rigging.
 Counsel for Russia by cross-examina- tion of the witnesses, endeavored to es- so foggy and dark that the witnesses were unable to tell whether Japanese torpedo boats were present.
 Baron Taube, the Russian judicial ad- wiser asked:
 If the night was dark and foggy, it is impossible for you to affirm that no foreign boats were among your feet
 q don't believe it. We certainly would have seen them," was the reply
 Then you cannot affirm positively"
 'I can only give my belief"
 William Smith, a wounded sailor of the trawler Crane, told a moving story which created an impression He de- scribed the formidable effect of the Rus sian shot which kiAeC the captain of the Crane, tore off the mates hand, killed a sailor and finally sunk the trawler after every one on board, except one man, had been killed or wounded.
 Admiral Fournier compllmented Smith on his courageous attitude during the fir ing.
 A witness named Green said that fol- lowing the canonade he temporarily mis- took the Crane for torpedo boat and so remarked to the engineer of his vessel, but he soon detected his mistake.
 Counsel for Russia asked how many oth- CTS mstook the Crane for torpedo boat,
 The witness replied that he alone made the mistake, being blinded by the search lights.
 Smirke, another witness, said he saw a trawler attempting to cross the Russian fire.
 Smirke's captain said:
 Look. It is a torpedo boat
 Smirke replied: f'No, it's trawler"
 They went to the vessels assistance and took the dead and dying from her before the trawler sank.
 The witness reasserted that the vessel was a trawler, but counsel for Russia was not satisfied, and a long discussion en- sued between the British and Russian lawyers

 BALL FRANCHISE Atlanta No Longer Belongs to
 the Famous MoguI THE PRICE WAS S19,5OO Chief Joyner of the Atlanta Fire De- partment and Several Prominent
 Men Buy Atlanta Franchise
 and Want a Manager.
THE PRICE WAS $18,500

Atlanta, Ga. January 26 -(special.)- Abner Powell today sold out his franchise here lock. stock and barrel to Chief w. R. Joyner of the fire department. Lowrey Arnold, solicitor general. and John Dick enson, president of the team of 96 here.
 The price paid was $1S,5O0 Powell will remain on hand to advise the new owners, and while out of the game here, has not quit for good.
 The new regime will have five directors with Joyner at the head and are now making overtures for new manager. Joe Beane. captain of the Jersey City team, and Bobby Lowe. the old Boston star, are being considered.
 The team will be placed absolutely in the charge of the manager who will be instructed to get a pennant- winner if there is one In the market They are not out after any profit but only want 8 local pennant team.

SLAG PILE SETTINGS.

The Nashville American says
 While looking over the players under contract to the various clubs in the cir cult it Is Manager Fishers belief that Memphis last years pennant winners. has the strongest aggregation. The addition of Duffy in center and one or two more men, besides old players, the Hustlers have taken brace. Next to Memphis, according to the local mogul, Dale Gear, because of his connection with George Tebeau. owner of several Western league squads, will start the campaign with an aggregation up to the standard. Dale Gear alone will improve affairs in the swampy lands. He is very fast in his fielding and player who can be depended upon when he goes to the plate. Little Rock will probably get several new corners from the Western circuit within the next month, and these, together with old members, will give the Travellers new life with which to open the race About New Orleans" said MT. Fisher Matters down in Pelican town will nat urally be strong, for Frank has the money behind him, and you can put it down in the dope book that this bunch will be four-miers' instead of quarter horses this year They will take a berth right
 
 are going to remain. If necessary, Frank will buy a full outfit from the majors Your Uncle Abner will of course be on deck with a money-making lot of ball players. He has about $30,000 drawing big interest, and Alb, you know, Is willing to spend the rake-off to get good team Atlanta Is one of our best towns. and If you give those fellows down there any thing like winning club they will see to 1t that you get the money The sport Is increasing in popularity in Georgia all the time. In 1902, the first season the Crack CTS were in the race. they drew 40,OO0 peo- pie. The following year 5000. while in 1904 135,0OO fans travelled out Peachtree street to see the stunts. You can bet Powell will be there with another money maker"
 Birmingham. Shreveport and Montgom- cry also have good material. says Newt. but as for the locals they'll be going strong enough to make the rest do a lit- tie tall playing.
 Jay Andrews. who joined Nashviles 8 lineup last mid-season. playing at third base, has been turned over to St. Joseph and will play In the Western league the coming season.
 
 through friends of Catcher Sidney Smith of Charleston, s. C., that the young fel- low would like to have his release; that he had many aristocratic friends down there who would not like to see him leave and enter the big league
 Well, he won't be released,' said Bar hey Dreyfuss who has signed him good and tight for Pittsburg "Mr Smith may be the scion of one of the best families in the south, come of blue bood etc, but I have not been In the habit of buying play CTS and then throwing them overheard simply because they asked to be given the bounce.
 ''I paid fine sum for Mir. Smith. He is reputed to be a clever catcher. Men Of that talent are scarce. We are look ing for catchers. MT Smith may be the man wanted. He will be given the best of treatment by the Pittsburg club and there is no reason why he should not play with us"
