No Opinion i'm Judgeship Fight.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 3.-No
decision was handed down today by
the Dauphin County court in the Har
man. Herring contest, and it is unlikely
that there will be any decision before
Friday, when the court next sits. 1t is
altogether improbable there will be
any decision tomorrow inasmuch rs
that is the day of dedication of the
State capitol, when all business will
be suspended.
There is no doubt but that the court
considers the points of law involved
intricate ones, for Judge Kunkel in
vited his associate, Judge Capp, to SIT
with him to determine the case.
General interest is manifested i'll
Harrisburg over the opinion of the
court inasmuch as there is involved
the question of the State Democratic
rules. Opinions vary rs to what inter
pretation the court will place upon
the party rules.

Judge Waldo Defends Santa

The Territorial Board of EquilizA
ton continued its meeting at ~

Attorneys Present.
The Santa Fe Railway Company was
represented by Judge H. !. Waldo OF
Las Vegas.
The Rock Island Railway Company
was represented by Attorney w. A.
Hawkins of Ell Paso.
Several other railroad attorneys
who had expected to be present di0
not reach Santa Fe until this after
noon and. were unable to appear at
the morning session.
At q meeting last September. the
hoard decided to defer action on the
question Of railroad taxation until tho
January meeting. As a result the
problem came before the members
this morning. No action was taken,
however, but there was great deal
said on all sides of the question. The
hong table In the travelling auditors
ONCE was Uttered with papers con-
talaing statements Of mileage, vaiuas
lions, figures u comparison and ON.

cial looking documents. incidentally
there was full box OF good cigars
at one end and hot air, straight talk
and jocose remarks mingled freely
with tobacco smoke.
The discussion was to some extent
upon the feasibility Of adopting an
entirely new basis OF taxation for all
lines In the Territory. Along just
what lines such basis would be ar.
ranged, caused some lively arguments.
Wants Fair Play.
In speaking for the Santa Fe, Judge
Waldo spoke pointedly and convinc-
ingly.
II am willing to be more than fair,
gentlemen he said, but I feel that
the knife is being stuck into my
road"
The Judge said In substance that he
believed in as uniform system u
railroad taxation as It was possible to
make, but that the portion Of the San
ia Fe Railway line in New Mexico
south Of Albuquerque, could not be
considered part Of the main line and
should not be So held. There were al.
lusions to the tax assessment Of other
roads In southern New Mexico, whose
main lines ran through that part Of
the Territory and which roads, In conf
parison, have less Of a tax buur,ieh
than have the Santa Fe System
branches south Of 1sleta.
This statement drew forth more ar
guments which terminated abruptly in
. motion to adjourn for the noon hour
which was enthusiastically voted eye.
The board re-convened ct 2 o'clock
this afternoon and was in session as
this paper went to press.
