president, and Homer b. Parsons, sec

company were made defendants in an
action brought in the supreme court
in Brooklyn by Robert Pomeroy and
Albert Josephson. two stockholders,
for peremptory writ of mandamus
compelling them to submit to an ex-
animation Of the books of the corpora
tion. The plaintiffs said that they
represent sc per cent of the stock of
the company. After hearing the argyll
ments the court reserved decision.
Counsel for the plaintiffs declared
in his argument that they have re-
ceived interest of only s per cent.
while they have reason to believe it
should be 4G per cent. Counsel also
said that a committee was recently
formed to get information about the
affairs Of the company, but had only
an evasive statement. He asserted
that for the last five years the cor
poration had been under the domina-
tlon of E. H. Hartmann He said the
surplus was stated to be $4,000. 900,
when it was probably $19.O00.O0O, and
the amount of bonds was given as
$5.0OO.OO0. when s10,000,00O would be

MOSTLY IN BACK TAXES.
Field Estate at Chicago Must Pay 81,
100000 This Year.

Chicago, July 27.-The three-cor-
hered controversy between the board
of review, the executors of the Mar
shall Field estate and the city cor
poratiOn cOunsel's Office came to an
end when the taxing body decided
that the Field estate should be taxed
a total of $1S0,O00,000 this year, in.
Guiding back taxes
The decision means that the ex-
ecutors Of the estate will be compelled
to pay the county $2,S00,OO0, which is
more than the total amount OF per-
sonal property on which Mr.. Field was
taxed during the last year of his life.
The greater part of this great sum
to be paid is to come from the collec-
tion of back taxes, on which Mr.. Field
is held by the board to have escaped
payment. The members of the board
estimated the back taxes without any
authentic figure to guide them.
President of the Board F. w. Up
nam held that the board should f.. the
amount of property upon which taxes
had not been collected since 1899 at
an average of $15,O0O,0OO a year,
amounting to $105,O0O,OOO for the
seven years. To this sum will be add
ed 10 per cent interest fixed by the
law to be collected in all cases of this
kind. This interest amounts to $432,-
900. The personal property upon which
the estate shall be compelled to pay
taxes for this year was placed at
$25, 100000.

At THE STAKE.
PLACE OF AAAGIR6 KEPT SECRET
GALLOWS PLACED ON BOARD VES-
sEL AND PRISONER STRUNG
UP ON ISLAND.

Crisf1eld, Nd, July 27.-William
Lee, the negro youth who was SEN
fenced to death in Baltimore three
weeks ago for assaulting two women
in Somerset county and who had been
threatened with lynching, was hanged
by Sheriff Brown on Smiths island in
the presence of his deputies and few
Witnesses The hanging was orderly.
The mob that had threatened to burn
Lee at the stake was completely out
witted by the sheriff.
Lees crime created unprecedented
excitement throughout Maryland and
Governor Warfield deemed it prudent
to have him confined in the Baltimore
city Jail. AS a further precaution,
though it was necessary to carry out
the sentence Of the law in Somerset
county, the scene of the crime, the
exact place of execution was Kept
secret. To carry out this purpose
Sheriff Brown placed his prisoner
aboard an oyster steamer and imme-
diately sailed down the bay. He took
with him a gallows and a coffin and
was prepared to hang Lee on the deck
of the vessel after reaching the waters
of Somerset county should there be
any signs of mob on Shore
Early in the morning the steamer
appeared off Smiths island, the pris-
Oner was speedily taken ashore and
the scaffold quickly erected. The ex-
ecution was soon over. Lee previously
confessed.

CRiPPLES IN A FIGHT.
Dispute over Misfortunes Leads 20

Ithaca, N. Y, July 27.-A discussion
among four cripples as to which was
the most unfortunate ended in a
bloody fight In ST. Johns hotel, near
the LackaWanna station here Abram
Spicer, who has one shrunken leg, en-.
tered the hotel with cripple who had
lost both legs.
Within they found one-armed man
talking with John Diffin, the propri-
etor, whose left arm was amputated at
the elbow.
The one-armed guest started a dis
cussion by saying that he was the
most unfortunate man Of the lot and
Spicer put forward the claims of his
companion. In the course of the argrl-
ment one of the cripples drew pistol,
but before he could fire there was a
general miXup, in which Spicer re-
ceived several long scalp wounds.
Spicer has sworn out warrant for
Diftin, who, he says, hit him with his
own cane, charging assault in the
third degree. The other two cripples

TABLE PROFESSION.

Washington, July 27.-MAfked evi-
dence of the reform which is sweep
Ing China can be seen in recommen-
dation OF commissioners named by
the government to revise the code
governing Chinese legal procedure,
which was recently submitted to the
empress dowager and emperor Ter
their consideration.
Two revolutionary changes in the
legal procedure of China are suggest
ed. These are the right of trial by
jury and the employment of attorneys
for the defense of criminals. Never
before In the history of China has the
practice of law been recognized az a
reputable profession.
From the report of the commission
er, which has just been submitted to
the state department, it may be seen
that Japan's action in bringing It's
legal procedure into harmony with the
European court methods has induced
the Chinese commissioners to sugge est
the abolition of the present antique
methods of that empire for the meth
DDS in vogue among all Western ma

Ladysm1th, Wis, July 27.-James
Hedrington, who cares for the dams
Of the Mississippi River Logging COM
Frcny on the Thornapple river, has ar
rived here from the Cameron dam and
reports that an encounter has taken
place between John F. Dietz and fam
lily and a body Of six militiamen, ac-.
companied by Sheriff Gyland of Sa w.
yer county.
One militiaman, whose name is not
known to Hedrington, was shot three
times and Clarence Dietz, son of John.
was shot in the head and fell to the
ground. The militiaman, who is from
Milwaukee, was shot in the hip, neck
and leg. His recovery is considered
doubtful. The other men are bringing
him to the hospital here. Hedrington
says the women of Dietz household
took part in the defense and he be-
Heyes that $50 shots were fired
Family Attends to Posse.
Hedrington says that John Dietz
Jumped onto stump when he saw
the attacking party coming and or
dered them off the place. He was
some distance from the house, while
the militiamen were in the brush.
They did not see him and Hedrington
says that the firing was between the
Dietz family and the militia, John be-
ing some thirty rods distant.
Dietz for long time past has held
possession of Thornapple dam, pre-
venting the driving of several million
feet of logs belonging to the Chippewa
Lumber and Boom company. The
logs, it is said, are rotting and the
company has for some time past been
endeavoring to have Dietz served with
legal papers compelling him to show
cause why the company should not be
allowed to drive the logs. -
The effort to capture Dietz has been
abandoned for the present.
