CRUISER WOULD KEEP NAME
Friends of the New York object
to Having IL Lose
Identity.

WASHINGTON. April 2--The suggestion
that the projected leviathian @.50O-toh
battleship which congress is expected to
authorize at the present session. should be
named New York" involved the abandon
ment of that name for the srmored cruiser
which was the flagship during the Spanish
war Of the Atlantic fleet. the most formid-
able naval force ever gathered under the
American nag. has caused some connection
in naval circles. While realizing the policy
OF securing support for the navy by identi-
flying the ships with great cities, many
naval officers hold that for sentimental
reasons. ships should not be chrstened
with names of vessels that have been
famous in their own time; that the latter
should be permitted to retain for them
selves whatever Of reputation they may
have earned.
The New York is set down as perhaps
the most serviceable ship IN the navy ac-
cordlng to the record. 1t has always been
ready for the hardest and most unexpected
service and It is said of it that seven years
after it went first into commission It made
the run from Boston TO New York at an
average speed of twenty knots, repeating
easily its initial trial trip record which is
without precedent in the navy. After un-
dergoine two years repairs at the Boston
navy yard the New York will be recon-
missioned practically new ship and the
majority of naval officers believe that it
should not be deprived of its name and
saddled with that of another and lesser
city as must be the case, under the law, II
any change is made.

cutlon was brought under the Elkins' anti

MICHIGAN WINS TAX CASE
United states supreme Court Holds
Railroads Must Pay Taxes
as Others.

WASHINGTON, April THE supreme
court of the United States today decided
the Michigan railway tax cases involving
the taxes of all the railroads for several
years, against the railroads. The opinion
was by Justice Brewer.
The case involved the validity of Mchi-
gan law fixing the tax value of railroad
property on the average value at which
other property is assessed. As this nearly
quadrupled the taxes paid by the railroads
they resisted and approximately s2OOO,OOO
In back taxes is now collectable.
In an opinion by Justice Brown the
supreme court of the United States today
decided the case OF the Houston 4 Texas
Central Railroad company against ]. A.
Mayes in favor of the company.
Mayes ordered seventeen cars I'm which
to ship 695 head OF cattle. The cars arrived
twenty-four hours after the time set in the
agreement. Mayes sued under Texas law
for damages done his cattle by the delay
and also under the state law to recover SO
per car on his contract with the company.
The lower courts upheld the complainant.
The supreme court. however, holds that the
law takes no account or accidents, is too
arbitrary, enoroaches upon federal control
Of the interstate commerce and Is therefor
unconstitutional. Chlet justice Harlan ana
Justice McKenna dssented
In the case OF MILFORD p. JOY against the
City of 81. Joe and Others, the SUI
preme court Of the United States today
afnrmed the decision OF the United States
circuit court for the eastern district OF
Missouri dismissing the case for want OF
Jurisdiction, which was favorable to the city,
The case involved claim to land on the
bank of the Mississippi river in ST. Louis,
which has been taken as wharf and To
which JOY claimed title under Spanish
concession made in 1881. The opinion was
handed down by Justice Peckham.
WASHINGTON, April 2,-Justice Day OF
the supreme court OF the United States to-
day filled the text of the courts opinion
in the Chicago Traction cases. The text
Of the dissenting opinion by Justice Brewer
Brown and McKenna, also was filled.

FoLK TO WATCH THE POLLS
Governor OF MissourI VIII Give Per-
sOnaI Attention TO Kansas
City Election.

KANSAS CITY. April 2-Governor 10
seph W. Folk. who passed through Kansas
City last night enroute to Des Moines,
where he is to speak tonight, is quoted az
saying he would return here on Tuesday
morning and, i'm company with members
Of the local police board and Board of Elec-
tion Commissioners make the rounds of the
voting precincts.
There have been many arrests here since
the primaries for illegal registration, and
in this respect Governor Folk said: "In
case there be any crimes against the ballot
I shall aid, as far as 1 am able in seeing
that the offenders are punished"
Every police officer in the city was called
before the police board today and given
personal instructions regarding the duties
of the police on election day.
The election in Kansas City tomorrow
will be for mayor and all the elective
city officers half the members of the upper
house and all tho members Of the lower
house. The issue is municipal ownership,
which both republican and democratic plat
forms endorse in principle. The demo-
cratic ownership plank reads:
We declare that all public utilities should
be owned by the municipality and operated
in the interest OF all the people.
The platform opposes extension Of gas
and street railway franchises.
The republican platform declares against
extension Of franchises without adequate
return to the city. The republican candi-
date for mayor is Henry NJ. Beardsley,
an attorney; the democratic candidate,
Robert l.. Gregory. a grocer.
| The campaign has been free from SEN
sational incidents, but great interest has
| been shown.
Well informed men on both sides say the
result is uncertain, owing to the new issue
and the large Independent vote that is ex-
/ pppfed
