ORGANIZATION COMPLETE
THE FINNEY MFG. COMPANY
Concern Will Put the New Trolley
Device on the Market-WilI Begin
Business With FIatterins Prospects
for Success.

The Finney Manufacturing Com
pany is the name of the corporation
that has been organized for the pur-
pose of manufacturing the improved
trolley for electric cars which was
mentioned in the Palladium few
days ago.
William Finney, or North Eigh-
teenth street, is the inventor of the
trolley wheel that won't come off,
and which is now being given a test
on the through cars between Rich
mond and Indianapolis. George Lee
die, an employee of the Starr Piano
factory made the device from the
plans made by Mr.. Finney and d. A.
Dennis is the business manager of
the new company.
The trolley wheel is said to be the
only successful substitute for those
now in use and is the only one on the
market that actually IS an improve
ment on the old ones. The company
| expects to be ready to begin the man
ufacture of the trolley wheels in a
very short time and will begin bust
ness with flattering prospects for
success.

JUDGE FOX TO PRESIDE.
INTERESTING FEE CASE
A Former Henry County Treasurer
Made Defendant in Action to Re-
cover Fees Collected While in Of
fice-Important Points Involved.

Judge Fox of the Wayne Circuit
court will go to New Castle some day
this week, the date not being def
nitely settled, to preside in the case
of the town of Knightstown against
John Holtsclaw ex-county treasurer,
to recover fees collected while treas
urer of Henry county. 1t is a test
case and has aroused a great DEAF of
interest. A number of attorneys who
have expressed their opinions on the
case believe that Holtsclaw was enti-
tied to the fees paid for the collection
of corporation take.
There are one or two apparently
conflicting statutes on this matter
and for that reason the question is
more important. If finding is re
turned in favor of the plaintiff, it
will have a far-reaching effect and
similar suits may be instituted
throughout the state, for there is not
county treasurer in the state who
has not been paid for the collection
of corporation taxee.
The county auditors are also inter
ested because they are allowed the
same amount that the treasurer Is
allowed for entering the corporation
taxes upon the duplicate.

COUNTERPLOTS COMMON
GoREMYKiNS MINISTRY is DOOM
ED TO FALL AND SOME OF MIN
IsTERs ARE scRAMBLING FOR
HIS SHOES.
Publishers Press1

ST. Petersburg, June 30.-The upper
most question now is how long the
present deadlock between parliament
and the government can continue.
Premier Goremykin is no longer a
factor in the situation but some of his
colleagues headed by Minister of
Agriculture Stichinsky, realizing that
unless the government fights the
cabinet must fall, are earnestly adj
vising the emperor to take the bull by
the horns and dissolve parliament.
They submitted a memorandum to the
emperor advising him to take this
course on the ground that parliament
has ceased to be a legislative body,
and is simply the center of revolution
airy agitation, and urging that i'm
mediate action Is necessary. They
contend that the army as a whole can
still be relied on.
Finance Minister Kokovsoff and
Minister Of Justice Chicheglovitofr. on
the other hand, consider that an at
tempt to forcibly dissolve parliament
would be fatal The former, who is
ambitious to become premier, seems
to be championing the formation Of a
mixed responsible ministry In the
hope that the emperor will charge him
to undertake it's formation. In the
meantime it is announced that the
cruise which the emperor and his
family will take in Finnish waters
will be made the latter part of the
week. The imperial yacht will be es
corted by two warships.
The Constitutional Democrats In
parliament appear confident that vic
tory in their fight for responsible
ministry is not far off, and with the
prospects of acceding to power be
coming brighter the breach between
them and the radicals in parliament Ii
getting broader.
Members of the deputation from the
GROUP of toil' sent into the country
districts to test the temper of the
peasants, returned here and report
that the latter everywhere are anxious
for the signal to rise. The delegates
rcounseled patience until August. "a
The estate, in Orel province, O.
Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky, former min

Motions Were Filed by the
Manufacturers Which An
gered the Judge.
STRICKEN FROM RECORD
JUDGE kENkODE DENOUNCES
THE MOVE MADE IN BEHALF OF
SENTENCE.
Publishers Press1

Toledo, O., June 30.-In one of the
most sensational arrangements ever
heard in the local common pleas court,
Judge Kinkade refused to consider
motions by attorneys in the ice cases
charging him with corruption and dis
honesty.
The arrangement came at the con-
clusion of hearing to vacate the SEN
fences imposed on the convicted ice
men. The motions contained the state
ment that a plea of not guilty was
withdrawn by the ice men and plea
of guilty entered under a promise of
leniency by the court.
1T may be said, concerning this
motion" said the Judge, that it Is
absolutely and unqualifiedly false, as
false as hell itself 1t could not be
more false than it is. or course, the
things here could not be passed on
and heard by this member Of this
court In the first place, if this paper
had any truth in it counsel would
never be in this room asking for re-
lief, because court SO corrupt as TO
make an agreement to sentence and
then violate that agreement could not
do anything except what it ought not
to do. This paper comes to me and
says, Please, sir, set aside your judg-
ment; it's corrupt This is a most
monstrous paper. 1t impresses me as
the product Of desperation. Unless 1t
is withdrawn from the files instantly
it will be stricken from the records of
this court"
Attorneys then undertook to defend
the motions. They stated that they
could prove it's allegations by wit
nesses and affidavits and that they
offered it to the court out of courtesy,
not expecting the member of the court
to decide on it.
Said the Judge: eff the parties have
beeen wronged it does not justify this.
If they are wrongfully in prison they
have a way to get out and it is not
| this way The motions will be stricken
from the files as absolutely scurrilous
! and insulting to this court and l will
not say what further order / will make
| in the premises"
