| Following fast upon the states le-
gal victory over the railroads on the
ad valorem taxation law of 1908.
three of the corporations yesterday
/ fled suit against Treasurer Kempt
and the other state officers connected
with the laying and collecting of
taxes, resisting the payment OF the
second assessment under that law
The roads who filed their complaints
yesterday were the Milwaukee road,
by attorney C. H. Van Alsune; the
Northwestern, by Attorney E. NJ.
Hyzer, and the Illinois Central, by
Attorney Burr W. Jones.
The roads attack the law of 1909
on substantially the same grounds
as alleged in tn suit decided for the
state Saturday by Judge Hastings.
In the new litigation, however, one
additional point is made. 1t is
CANNED I0al III some Oh the local x
ing districts of the state the rate of
taxation was greater than the limit
set by law and that therefore the tax
and assessment in those districts
were uncons itutionAl, Illegal and
void; that lsese alleged void assess
ments and tax rates the state tax
commission, in applying the ad val
orem railroad taxation law. used in
making the rate of ra lroad taxation
and that such railroad rate, being
based in part upon illega local rates,
is void
In reading the decision If Judge
Hastings one might gather that he
thought the way was open for such a
point as now raised by the roads. for
he said that the presumption as to
the local assessments and rates was
that they were proper and legal pos
sibly suggesting that if they were
declared illegal by the courts, a rail
road rate based upon them would a.
so be void. This question will be
the chief point to be Irrigated and
decided in the new ad vaIorem suits.

Judge Smith, Who Stuck to His School
 in That State Through the Civil
 War. V
 Judge Smith of Suffield, who is now considerably past seventy years of age, is one of the few northern men now living who taught school in the south through the civil war. He has the dis tinction of having remained in his school work in Kentucky through the entire period of hostilities between the north and the south. Before the out break of the war he was at the head of the Connecticut Literary institute at Suffleld and had shown high attain ments as an educator. From the Con- necticut school field he went to Ken lucky and established school at Mays

vile in that state. His chivalry and scholarship made him popular with men of the blue grass state and his
 school was sustained without difficult ty through the war. He attained high distinction in Masonary and received the degree of knighthood from LaRue Thomas, afterward grand commander of Knights Tenplar in the United States. Judge Smith returned to Con- necticut after the war and established his home permanently in Suffie1d. For | many years he was judge of the pro bate court in that district, retiring at the age of seventy-years. He has one Of the most complete geological libra
 ries owned by private citizen in Con- necticut. It is expected that it will go to the Suffield institute when Judge Smith is through with its use. He is a man of great public spirit, taking interest in all that can develop and ad- vance his town which, by the way, is one of the most progressive and influ-
 ential in the state. One of Judge Smiths daughters is the wife of Charles L. Spencer, president of the Suffield National bank, which was founded years ago by his family. Pres ident Spencer is the son of the late
 Hon. I. Luther Spencer, who was one of the most gifted politicians in his day in Hartford county, yielding last. ing influence in the republican party.
 His memory is held in the utmost re-
 gard throughout the northern tier of
 towns in the state. He was a state
 senator and was on the republican pres
 idential electoral ticket back few
 years ago. Judge Smith, who has been
 extremely happy in his family and po-
 litical' relationships has been in com

Marshal Snodgrass continues to be in receipt of letters from relatives Cf the late Henry Sauvage, making inqui- " as to the steps that have been talk en toward the end of punishment of his slayers.
 A letter received yesterday was from a brother-in-law of the deceased. George Huber, of Streator, III. MT. Huber writes at some length. conclud- ing with the statement that he IS en- deavoring to so arrange his business affairs that he can come to Arizona and take a part in aiding with prosecu- tion of those accused of the murder. Mir Huber states in his letter that Ee knew the deceased from his early boy hood, and that reports given ciTcula- tion that he had taken human life are absolutely false. On the contrary, he declares, the deceased was known for kindliness and for disposition to at all times avoid trouble. He so man aged to do, Mir. Huber asserts.
 A letter was also received by Mar shal Snodgrass during the week from George Smith, a cousin of the deceas- ed. who is connected with the police department of the city of St. Louis. MT. Smith also may come here to be pres ent when the grand jury takes up the cases of Mrs. Sauvage and her son.
 Mrs. Salvage, since her release from jail on Monday of last week un- der bond to appear before the next grand jury, has been at home, where the murder of Henry Sauvage occurr- ed. She has moved about there look ing after the conduct of the laundry and conducting herself in manner that gives no hint of the terrible tragedy in which she so recently played the principal part. On several occasions she has been down town to call at the office of her attorneys. On these oc- casions she has presented 8 smiling face to the public, and if there is the least sorrow or regret in her heart for the terrible deed, guilt of which she admitted from the first, it is not shown in any item of her public conduct.

NO SPLIT EXPECTED.

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 26.-The Democratic city convention met here this morning, and judging from indica- tions. there will be little if any onpo- sition to the nomination of Mayor Hoffman. The convention was called to order and after the customary com mittees had been appointed, took a recess until after luncheon The prom ised opposition of the an+i-Holtzman faction seems to have faIan tat. ana it is confidently expected that Mayor Holtzman will be renominated without opposition.
 The primaries for ward councilmen will be held on September l. It had been proposed to hold the primaries and the convention at earlier dates, but the executive committee decided that it would be in the interests1of the party to make the campaign as short as it could conveniently be made.

RULING EFFECTIVE <
 ON OCTOBER FIRST
POSTMASTER WILL THEN CEASE TO DELIVER MAIL IN BOXES
 AT OFFICE.
Addressed to Others Than Renters of the Boxes-Others Will Have to Line Up at the Free Delivery Win dow for Service.

Postmaster Cassidy has set the first of October as the date upon which the regulation will be put in effect which requires that all individuals re- ceivfng mail at this postoffice shall either secure it through the general delivery window or through a rented box.
 While it is expected that enforce ment of this regulation of the postof- fee department will cause more or less complaint for a time from good part of the public, it is nevertheless believed by the postmaster that en- forcement of the ruling will work 10 bring about a very much more eff cient postal service in the city than IS possible under present conditions, and he is determined to carry the ruling out to the letter.
 Under it's terms, no one may receive mail through a pOstoffce box who is not the renter of the box or member of the immediate family of the renter No employe may receive his mail through the box of his employer. He must have a box of his own or go tc the free delivery window. In this city there are probably greater per centage of people receiving their mai through the boxes of others than will be found in any other town of it's size m the country. There are peculiar local conditions which bring about this i situation. They have been recog nized for so long as affording legiti mate excuse that it is no easy mattei to convince many that the old plaI should not continue.

PHELPS-DODGE CUT
 FREIGHT CHARGES
REDUCTION IS MADE ON THE EASTERN DIVISION OF SYs-
 ITEM FOR PASS CITY.
Assumed by Fl Paso to Be for Her Renefit-Considered Here That the Reduction Is Simply Pursuit Of Es- tablished Policy.

The Fl Paso 6 Southwestern yester- day gave out at Fl Paso a schedule of new rates made for shippers from that city. The new schedule makes sev- eral reductions which have caused much rejoicing among merchants of the Pass City. who state that they will be enabled to reach out for trade to much greater advantage.
 The new rates apply only to the Eastern Division of the system, for merly the E. P. & N. E. It is presuun- ed here that they correspond to reduc- tions made by the E. P. & s. W. some time ago from Fl Paso to points west, this city and Douglas being particular ly favored, and that the motive is to large extent the same, desire of Phelps-Dodge to give their new eDI- ployes in the coal fields and at other points along the line the advantage of reductions they can consistently make. The action just taken on the Eastern Division, however, is accepted at Fl PasO as 9 recognition by the road of appeals that have been made in the course of a long fight that the Cham Der of Commerce Of the city has wag- ed to secure concessions in freight rates from the several railroads en- teTing the town. What effect the move of the Southwestern will have or other roads is now a subject of specu. lation and anxious watching.
