DECISION REACHES DAWSON
WHAT THE HIGHEST COURT De
CIDED IN WATERWORKS CASE.

Sweeping and Conclusive, Says Attor-
ney Douglass. The State Courts
Upheld i'm Strong Opinion.
The full text of the decision Of the
United States supreme court in the
waterwOrks case has been received in
Dawson.
1t came with a letter from Attorney
Charles A. Douglass of Washington,
who represented Dawson at that end
of the litigation and made the princi-
pal argument for the city before the
supreme court. Attorney Douglass,
in his letter, says 1.-The decision IS
sweeping and conclusive, and there
fore ends the case.
Six justices concurred in the Opin-
ion, two dissented and one was abb
sent.
The decision as rendered sets aside
the ruling OF the federal court OF the
northern district of Georgia. and en-
ters into a lengthy discussion of the
points involved in the case and the
justification of It's reversal.
The court. after making a summary
of the events which led up to the liti-
CATION then pending, proceeds to say:

should have been dismissed for want

pany is admitted TO have been neces-

courts of the state. There was pre-
tense of asking relief against 1t. as we
have stated. but no foundation Tor the
prayer was laid in the allegations OF
the bill. On the contrary, 1t appears
from these allegations that the water
works company insisted on its con
tract with the city and did everything
in its power to carry the contract out.
1T also recognized the plaintltf
right to receive the rentals and yielded

the plaintiff is more than an assignee
of the city's contract to pay, which we
do not intimate, still, when the ar

which would otherwise not exist the

from the brief of the city's attorneys. !

GAS COMPANY PLEADS LOSS.
New York Consolidated Officials Tel
Committee of Poverty.

New York, April Z. - The legisla-
tive committee which is inquiring into
the lighting conditions in this city
yesterday learned from various Off
GERS of the Consolidated Gas Company
who appeared before 1t as witnesses
that the company operated last year
at loss of $1S,250. 1t was further
stated that the reason of increasing
the capital stock of the Edison Hum
mating Company from s21,000,000, at
which figure it was bought, to $780,,
100000, was the placing of a $15,O00,000
valuation on the controlling equity in
the concern.

Mr.. Hughes, the committees counsel,

"Our equity is what we can get out

By series of questions Mr..
Hughes brought out the fact that the
prices charged for electricity are the
same now as in 1899, when the Edi-
son company earned Ii per cent, with
the exception that there has been re-
duction of 20 per cent where the cleo

poses.

Tho Now Chinese Minister.

w. w. Rockhill appointed United
States minister to China, is an emf
nent orientalist and traveller. He be-
gan his diplomatic career as secretary
to the American legation in Japan and
it was then that he became imbued
with a desire to make scientific study
of oriental questions. He obtained
leave of absence from Toxic, and set
out disguised as a high priest, with
two native attendants, to reach L.
hasa, the forbidden city. He pene-
trated further into the forbidden coun-
try than any white man had done up
to that time, and was finally put to
flight because one of the provincial
viceroys, learning of his mission, set
price upon his head. AS special
commissioner to Picking after the Box
er uprising, he was able to contribute
in an important way to the solution
OF the delicate problems which grew
out of that affair.

every effort was made to prove that
rebates had been paid to the Standard
Oil Company. No such proof could
be produced, but 1t was proved that
rebates were allowed and paid to two
of the Standards principal competi-
tors. This may serve to remove DR..
Gladden's doubt whether the Standard

TWO WIVES At GRAVE.
Husbands Dual Life Revealed by His
Death.

Chicago, April 7.-"Oh. my ear hus-

why, no. he was my husba nd"
Two women stood beside tile casket
of Richard r. Walsh at the Arlington
hotel in Aurora yesterday morning and
in the exclamations quoted sought to
prove their title of wife" of the man
whose lifeless form occupied the parlor
of the hotel.
1t was only after a long argument
that the Aurora woman was convinced
that she had been married man
who had another wife livint; in Chi
cago.
Walsh was formerly on the police
force in Chicago ands was discharged
during the Swift administration. He
had a wife, Mary Walsh, who lived at
Congress street and Fifty econd ave-
nue., but they had been living apart
for number of years.
For two years Walsh made his home
in Aurora at the Arlington hotel. a
hosiery patroniZed by commercial men.
He made the acquaintance of Mrs. Mary
Dwyer who owned the hotel, and after
prolonged courtship, in which he
professed an undying love for the wom-
an, secured her consent to marry him.
They were married six weeks ago by

respondence department Of the Armour
institute.

1t was impossible for any shipper TO

THE Standard often found that lts
competitors had been paying less rates
than it paid. Furthermore, the pupllc
obtained the advantage of the low
rates received. A low price for rehileu
oil kept pace with the reductlon III
rates, whether this reduction was by
way of rebates or otherwise. And the
price at which the public for many
wears has been obtaining oil would
simply have been impossible had not
shippers forced the railways to reduce
their rates, which they did, first by re-
bates and later by open schedule
THE system of rebates has happily
received the condemnation of law. The
Standard welcomes the change as q
beneficial one. But to say now That II
should not have obtained the best rates
under the old system which its posi-
ton enabled it to obtain is an impos-
sible counsel of perfection.
