FIRST TEST CASE AGAINST WIS
coNsIN RAILROADS IS BE-
GUN Ar MADISON.
half MILLION DOLLARS INVOLVED
GOVERNOR Ia TOILETTE HOPES
TO COLLECT IMMENSE SUM
FoR THE STATE.

Madison, Wis, June 14.-The first
test case against railroad companies
for alleged back taxes on gross earn
ings that have not been reported be
gan in the circuit court before Judge
Stevens during the day. AS a result
Of this proceeding against the. rail-
roads Governor La Toilette hopes to
collect $780, 900 in back taxes and pen
alties. The penalty prescribed is $780,
900 against each road that has failed
to report gross earnings as required
by the state law. The first case Is
brought against the Chicago and
Northwestern company. Attorney Gen.
eral Sturdevant, assisted by H. w.
Chyroweth of Madison, represents the
state, and Lloyd w. Bowes the railroad
company.
This was one of the issues of the
campaign made by Governor La Fol-
lette last fall and State Railroad Com
missioner Thomas has reported that
investigation shows that in the last
six years the total amount withheld
from reports is $513,499. At the open
ing of the trial it was argued that as
the Northwestern road did business IN
eight states a federal question wae
involved that would require settlement
in federal courts. This amendment to
the answer of the Northwestern road,
was permitted.

NORWAY BREAKS WITH SWEDEN.

The Norwegian storthing has de-
clared the union between Norway and
Sweden under one king to be dissolved
and that the king has ceased to act as
king of Norway. The storthing further
empowered the present state council
to act as a government of Norway I'M
til further notice and to exercise the
power heretofore appertaining to the
king. An address to the king was
adopted declaring that no i'll feeling
was entertained against him, his
dynasty or the Swedish nation and
asking him to cooperate in the selec-
tion of a young prince of the house of
Bernadotte to occupy the throne of
Norway.
The council of state, following the
action of the storthing in dissolving
the union of Norway and Sweden, is
proceeding with the reorganization of
the government in the manner indi-
Gated in the programme which had
been more o less prepared before the
final step was taken by which the
peaceful revolution was accomplished.
The department Of national defense
has issued a decree to the army ac-
quainting it with the resolution of the
storthing and the assumption of the
government by the council of state
and intimating that the army must
comply with the new conditions, e n
dering allegiance to those now con-
Quoting the government.
King Oscar of Sweden has sum-
moned the riksdag for an extraordinary
session June 30 to deal with the
secession of Norway.
King Oscar has refused to receive
the deputation appointed to present
him with the Norwegian 'storthing's
address.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
EASTERN WAR MAY END.

1t is definitely announced at Wash.
ington that both the Russian and Japa-
nese governments have accepted Pres
ident Roosevelt's suggestion to end
the war and that a meeting OF repre-
sentatives of the two ~contending pow
ers is assured. From an authoritative
official source it is learned that 1t has
been practically determined that the
plenipotentiaries of Japan and Russia,
for the determination of peace terms,
will hold their sessions in Washing
ton. Since the acceptance by both
Russia and Japan of President Roose-
velt's proposal the text of his identical
note to the two belligerents has been
made public. In the interest Of hui
mainly the president urged the war
ring nations to conclude peace. It was
suggested by the president that the
negotiations for peace be conducted
directly and exclusively" between
the belligerent nations. The note indi-
Gated the presidents belief that an in
termediary may not be necessary to
effect conclusive negotiations, but
likewise expressed the presidents
willingness to do all that he properly
could to promote the preliminary ar
rangements for a time and place for
the meeting of representatives of the
Russian and Japanese governments.
From the stories told by the Rus
SLAMS at Manila who escaped from the
e fight in the Korean straits 1t ap-
pears that the Japanese completely
surprised the Russian fleet. The Rus
SLAMS were steaming peacefully along.
There was no sign Of the Japanese
feet and the Russian ships were not
cleared for action nor were the bat
teries manned. The attack zane with
a s~uddenness that made the unpre-
paredness of the Russians for battle a
glazing mistake that never could be
corrected.
There is a significant change in tone
on the part of some of the Russian
newspapers, like the Novoe Vremya,
which heretofore have even ad-
mitted the possibility of the conclu-
sion of hostilities until Russia had re-
covered her military prestige by a
victory. The papers now discuss calm
ly the ACCESSIBILITY Of ending the war
If Japan's terms r reasonable.
Russian Rear Admiral Enquist has
received the following cable from EN-
peror Nicholas at st. Petersburg: RE
main at Manila at the disposition Of
the American government. Effect re-
pairs as much as possible" Governor
Wright has requested Rear Admiral
Train to arrange for the disposition Of
the Russian warships and their OFF,
GERS and crews.
Undismayed by Rojestvensky's de-
feat and full of confidence as to the
outcome Of the approaching battle
Lieutenant General Linevitch is for
war to the bitter end and he believes
that the Manchurian army is nov
strong enough to assume the aggres-
sive.
The Russian government is plainly
preparing the public for the announce
ment that the emperor has decided to
conclude peace and that the negotia-
tions have begun by permitting the
publication OF all the foreign dispatch
es bearing on the subject.

Warsaw, Russian Poland, June IA
The outbreak of rioting at Brest-Lito-

many persons were killed or wounded
originated in a conflict between Jews

have looted provision stores and the
Jews in defending their property are
alleged to have fired on the troops,
who returned the fire. The town now
is occupied by the military.

POLI'S
\ DESPERATE CHANGE.

To-night's production at Poli's "A Desperate. Chance is from the pen of Theodore Kremer, the well-known mel odramatic writer. It deals with the life of the famous Riddle brothers and is filled with thrilling situations. There is much comedy and many interesting specialties. The scenic production is a complete one, and the cast consists of many people well known on the dra- matte stage. Mir Kremer. the author, has not many successes before the pub lie, but none has caused the sensation created by "A Desperate Chance" Everyone is familiar with the exciting escape from the Pittsburg jail of the Riddles; aided by the warden's wife, the terrible fight in the snow with the detectives, their capture and finally their pathetic death. The wonderful hypnotic power that Ed Riddle mad over the 'warden's wife is well known and the pathetic scenes where the child shows the overpowerinc love for the mother who sinned against her will, are very touching. The old horse and sleigh with which the Riddles and Mrs 'Soffel attempted to make their escape on that cold February day when they were surrounded by the detectives, cap tured and returned to the Butler jail, will be used at each performance. The horse is growing fat and lazy over the easy time he is having as an actor, touring the country. Prices are p, 35 and 50 cents.

. good deal about the beauty of talk ing the crowded city poor away from their hopeless surroundings. getting them to return to the land. to work at agriculture as probably their imme- diate ancestors did. This is not a re- turn to the land. this life on the water; but it is an attempt to give simple pleasures to those sadly in need of them, wholesome life to those fin similar need. and all at cost that shall not make the benefited lose self respect, neither rob her of her wage.
 It costs the sum of s2.sO to be a regular patron of the Deep Sea hotel: but that means one receives board. lodging and diversion for this outlay.

boarder one must give full account of ones condition in life. The Deep Sea being convenient to the railroad station, requests of this kind are looked for and met satisfactorily. AS one of the girls remarked concerning this feature of the hotel: Pretty soon they will need whole fleet"
 The dining room is white curtained and very attractive. The cabin is big and clean and costly furnished, and from the windows looking out upon the shipping near by girl with any imagination at all can easily persuade herself she is luxuriating in the cabin of her own yacht; can easily be in- duced to forget her toll and weariness.
 Great things are promised for tha summer time and the girls that stand behind counters all day in the de- partment stores are looking forward with delight to the glad summer even ings when maybe the. boat will c:.t away from the wharf, and, sail about the bay to give the "boarders' a change of air and change of scene.
 Of truth, a novel and admira- ble piece of philanthropy. We hear
