Milwaukee PLANS
PRESIDENT EARLlNGAGAIN VISITS
THE COAST.
Outlines Work of the Road Now
Under Way and to Begin in
Immediate Future--H Hartman
Plans Also Maturing-C onstruc-
ton Base to Be at Seattle.

Seattle, May 3.-President A. ).
Earling, of the Chicago, Milwaukee q
st. Paul railroad, arrived in the city
yesterday morning and will remain on
the Sound until Monday, when he
goes to Portland before returning East.
Most of the time on the Sound this
trip will be spent in Seattle and in di-
recting the affairs of the company
here in commencing improvement of
the property secured for terminal pur-
poses. When seen at the Butler hotel
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Earring an
nounced that Improvement of termi-
nails in Seattle will begin at once. The
dockage, freight and passenger grounds
will be placed in shape and base of
supplies for Washington cons truction
established.
Nearly 400 Miles Under Way.
Between 500 and 400 miles of line
from Evarts, S. D., to Seattle is now
under construction, said Mr.. Earl
ing, ''and another section of 100 miles
is to be commenced at once. Work is
under way between Seattle and the
east side of the Cascades, and within
the next month construction will be
commenced from Ellensburg east a
distance of 200 miles. Contractors
have the grading begun west from the
Missouri river and also in Montana,
about 400 miles west of the Missouri
river, in addition to the work that is
now being done in Washington.
Improvement of the terminals in
Seattle is to be commenced at once on
the lines outlined by the company to
the city council in the maps presented
in connection with our franchise ap-
plication. Within sixty or seventy
days sufficient grading will have been
completed to allow laying of track,
and the first shipment of rails will ar
rive in Seattle about the latter part of
June or the first of july"
Will Pass Through Ellensbursh.
One of the important features of the
announcement Of Mr.. Earling is the
assurance that the line has been def
nitely located for the entire distance
from Evarts to Seattle. The road will
pass through Ellensburg, according to
the statement of Mr.. Earling, and this
is point on which no official an
nouncement has been made before this
time.
Mr. Earling also announced that the
new transcontineptal line will use
both the Northern Pacific and the Ca
lumbia & Puget Sound roads for the
delivery of material and supplies from
this city along the route of the new
road. He declined to discuss any
other connection which the road may
make with the Columbia & Puget
Sound under the agreement made be-
tween the two roads some weeks ago.

CORPORATION Law FOR

pine commission has just enacted a
corporation law patterned after the
corporation acts generally in force in

islands was the old Spanish code Of
commerce, which is repealed by the
new law. Persons wishing to invest

cordance with common law principles.
The law requires all public utility
or public service corporations doing

eminent inspection. The incorpora-
ton fee is only $12. 30 gold.

regarding railroad companies, banking
and trust companies, insurance and
religious corporations, building and
loan corporations and colleges and
other institutions of learning.

rations may qualify to do business In
the Philippine islands by obtaining a

tions applicable to domestic corpora
tions except such provisions as relate
to corporate organization and disso-
luton or which fix the responsibilities

r,oIouv Of Gerfnnn..

Desk Sergeant Ahern's office at DO. lice headduarters tonight resembled a nursery. On the floor wallowed several dirty, ruddy-faced children, while on the benches around the room were q number of half-grown girls and boys and old and middle aged men and wo- men. They were Germans and came to Alabama a few weeks ago from New York to work on the plantation of a mar nam d Rawies in Perry Coun- ty. After they had reached Alabama he decided that he did not want them and turned the colony or Germans over to R. H. Jones, who carried them to his farm near Summerfield. Today the Germans became, dissatisfied and pack ed up and came to Selma. After they left Jones's plantation and he found out that they had gone, he teiephon ed to this city and had them arrested for breaking a contract. The friendless- ness of the Germans caused sever Jewish citizens to come to their rescue and Judge Craig was retained to de- fend them. Shortly afterwards Mr Jones reached the city and went to police head quarters with the intention ofscarrying the colony of Germans back to his plantation. It was then learned that he did not have contract with the Germans. The Germans sey that when they went 10 his plantation he placed them in houses that leaked badly. As he would not repair the houses they left today. They were given supper by Mrs. I Schwarz and another place where they can farm will be rendered them.
