sERGT. CooK ASKS RlIIREMRN1
Has Been Put on Veteran Reserve
 Force by Police Commissioners.

The many friends of Police Sergeant Cook will be surprised to learn this morning that he petitloned the board of police commissioners at their meet ing last night that he be placed on the retired list. Sergeant Cook has been on the police force thirty4six years, and has done much efficient service. He was appointed a patrolman on Novem- Der 30, 1870, and served in that capacity until March 1, 1887, when he was ap- pointed a roundsman. On March 3, 1891, he was appointed a sergeant and has served in that capacity at the central station since that time. When Captain Wrinn became chief of police in 1897 he appointed Sergeant Cook desk ser geant at the central station. Since that time the entire charge of the affairs during the small hours of the night have devolved heavily on the shoulders of Sergeant Cook, and he has been. called upon to settle many perplexing difficulties that would have proved too great for a less efficient officer. The neatness and correctness of the books kept by Sergeant Cook have been often praised. Before joining the police force Sergeant Cook was employed by the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. R. Go. as boiler maker. He has been a prominent mem ber of the Sars1elds and was a major in that company. He was also very instrumental in the organization of that famous military command, and is one of the few surviving charter members.
 The board voted to accept his petition and placed himfon the veteran reserve force with half time until the police surgeons shall have made a physical examination of his condition. If their action is favorable he will be retired on half pay.
 The resignation of James F. Brady was accepted, and Officers J. D. Co., hane, J. P. Kennedy and W, H. Des- kin were promoted from grade D to grade c. At the request of Verdi and Balsamo, Delucci Genaro was appoint ed a special constable on sepecial rec concentration of the civil service broad. A letter was received from the D. H. | Clark Co., commenting the services of | Patrol Driver Grady of Station for efficient aid to one of their workmen ] who was injured at their shops in the l early part of September.
 Owing to illness Chief Wrinn was not present at the meeting and consequently
 made no report for the past month.

 DEMURRAGE

To Belfast, Me, Schooner owner--WeIl-
 ingtOn Andrew of Orange Appointed
 Judge James P. Platt in the United States district court yesterday heard the testimony in the suit of Field S. Pendleton, of Belfast, Me-, against the Wyckoff Pipe and Creosoting company. 8 Stamford corporation. The libellant is the owner of the schooner Pendleton Satisfaction. The vessel was chartered by the Stamford concern to take d load of piling from Norfolk, Va, to Colon Panama, in June, 1895. The piling was for work on the Panama canal.
 The vessel owner claims that the schooner was held up at Colon for twelve and one-half days, and he is now suing the Wyckoff company for $65O de- murrage. The Stamford corporation was represented in court yesterday by Mrs. E. A. Wyckotf, a mlddle-aged woman, who said that she was the president and treasurer of the concern having assumed the two offices upon the death of her husband.
 The vessel was represented by Cush- man, Dewell & Cushman, of New York. Joseph Barbour, of Hartford, appeared for Mrs. Wyckoffs company.
 At the close of the argument Judge Platt decided from the bench that the schooner was entitled to demurrage for twelve and one-half days at $52 day, the amount stipulated in the charter party, making the decree for $650 and costs.

ANDREW IS IsBELL ADMINIsTRA-
 TOR.

TOR.
 After a long hearing in the probate court yesterday morning Judge Cleave- land appointed Wellington M. Andrew, of Orange, administrator of the Isbell estate, despite the objections of Attor- ney E. r. Arvine, counsel for Mrs The ron Todd, and Attorney Jason P Thom- son, who stated that he represented large creditors. Mr, Andrew was first cousin of George A. Isbell and it was stated yesterday that he was the unaA- irnous choice of the heirs who have just won their fight in the probate court for the estate.
 Attorney Arvine nominated Nelson Taylor, who formerly had charge of Major Isbell's office and business af- fairs, as a suitable person, but also said that an attorney really ought to be appointed, as much litigation loonASd up ahead.
 He further stated that he represented New York creditor who had clear claim against the estate for $lO0O or $S, 900, it being alleged that this amount had been furnished MT. Isbell for the purchase of farming property which he bought, but never delivered to the buyer.
 Following Attorney Arvine, Attorney Jason Thomson stated to the court that he represented creditors of the estate who held claims amounting to over $2O,' 1 900.
 In reply to these arguments Attorney Isbell read extracts from the statute which provides that, in the event of will not naming an administrator tho next of kin shall be appointed whenever possible.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS
REVENUE ACT INVALID
Stead Renders Opinion on Exemption
of Capital Stock from AK
alton.

Springfield. Ill. June l3.-An opinion
rendered by Attorney General Stead
declares unconstitutional the Illinois
revenue act amendment of 1905, eX-
empting from taxation the capital stock
of manufacturing and mercantile cor
porations. coal mining companies,
printing Offices. newspapers, and COM
panies for the Improvement and breed
ing of cattle
The attorney general holds that the
act is unconstitutional on the ground
that the only property the legislature
can exempt from taxation is that men,
toned in section ), article . of the con
stitution. and that the capital stock of
the corporations named in the act of
1905 is not mentioned in section :; of
article 8 of the constitution; therefore,
the legislature cannot exempt it.
The new law also is declared uncon-
stitutional on the ground that it is in
conflict with section 6. article of the
constitution. which provides the gen
eral assembly shall have no power to
release property from taxation.
