RAILWAY SUITS LEVER.
Substitute Bill on Tax Question Demands
Back Payments Imme-
diately.

MADISON, Wis. Dec. 81 Special J
If Il substitute bill recommended for
passage by the Assembly committee on
railroads becomes a law, the railroads
doing business in Wisconsin will have
to pay the state $1,1i4,0OO in back taxes
within fifteen days or their suits now
lending against the state will be thrown
out of court.
Can Recover Later, However.
This statement is, however, not quite
so radical as it may seem at first as
the state agrees to give the railroads per-
mission to sue to recover such parts of
this amount as are IN excess of the taxes
which the supreme court declares to be
fair.
The bill is substitute for the original
bill which was introduced denying the
railroads the right to commence suit
against the state until all taxes levied
and assessed against them are paid III
full. The substitute is made to apply
to the suits already pending and the
companies are given only fifteen days
in which to pay the back taxes amount
ing to S1,14l,00O on penalty of having
their suits thrown out of court.
The taxes which are expected to be
paid into the state treasury upon the
passage of this bill will replenish the
university which the regents of that in
stitution have requested.

the confessed burglar located by the
police, the jewels locked up, most Of
the plunder recovered and the name Of
Edward Park. the tutor in the Higgin-

Ralph Warner. aged 33, who has q

He implicated John Kodna, an Assy-

The latter confessed that, before his
arrest in Massachusetts, he entered the
Higginson home, concealed himself IN
a closet and, when opportunity offered,

CHICAGO STENOGRAPHER
STEALS TRANSPORTATION
Santa Fe Operator Dlsposes of $4,000
Worth in Flsturn for Theater
Tickets
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. PA conspiracy by
which the railroads entering Chicago
have lost transportation estimated to
be worth 500, 900 has been made public
by the discharge of o. G. Olson, an en-
ploye of the Santa Fe railroad. Olson
was chief stenographer in the office of
President E. p. Ripley, and took care
Of the issuing of passes and of the re-
quests made by the road on other lines
for transportation.
By free use of the request blanks
left in his charge and previously signed
by President Ripley, and by a similar
use of the passbooks signed by w. p.
Jansen, assistant to the president,
Olson secured transportation and dis
posed of it to outsiders
Officials of the Santa Fe declare
Olson's transactions will not reach a
total of more than $4,000, but detectives
at work on the case declare that one
man alone handled more than $27OO
worth and that the entire amount will
reach at least $4,000.
1t is not believed that Olson profited
in direct pecuniary way by the issu-
ance Of the passes, but that he ex-
changed them for theater tickets and
gave much transportation to theatrical
men.
