LODGES SUIT AGAINST HousER
Weyerf1euser's Company Refuses to
Paw State Fee of $1,000.

Weyerheuser's Company Refuses to
Pay State Fee of $1,000.
If a suit begun by the Mississippi
River Logging Company of Clinton,
Iowa, against Secretary of State
Houser is successful the state may be
compelled to pay back to foreign cor
porations operating in Wisconsin
about $4,000 collected from them un-
der chapter SOC, Laws of 1905.
The statute, according to the inter
probation placed upon it by the secre-
tary of state, requires all foreign cor
porations operating in the state to pay
a fee of $25 for the first $4,000 of
their capital and 81 for each addition
al $1,000 represented by property To-
Gated or business transacted within
this state.
The plaintiff logging company has a
capital of $1,075,000 invested in prop
erty and business in Wisconsin, and
the secretary of state made demand
for $1,000 from it for unpaid fees.
The company prays for perpetual in
junction against the secretary of
state on the ground that it paid $25
when it entered the state for business
in April 1901, as the law then required
and that it has not increased its capt.
tai since. F. Weyerheuser is president
of the company. This is the first com
pany to refuse to comply with the sec
rotary of states construction of the
law. The suit will be tried in the cir
cult court for Dane county as soon as
possible.

LAKE STEAMER is CUT IN TWAIN

as Result of Explosion.

is Sent to Bottom of ST. Clair Rive?
as Result of Explosion.
Detroit, Mich, June 2.-The steamer
Erin, up-bound and towing the schoon-
er Danforth, was run into and cut in
two by the steamer Cowle, in the ST.
Clair river, just below ST. Clair, carly
yesterday, and five members of the
Erin's crew were drowned.
The collision occurred during fog.
The Cowle is a modern steel freighter,
and is not thought to have been much
damaged, while the Erin was wooden
vessel of the old type.
Seven Men Saved.
Six of the Erin's crew and the thir-
teen-year-old son Of Mrs. Reed, who
was on the steamer, were saved.
Officers of the schooner Danforth
charge that the Cowle did not stop and
assist in the rescue of the Erins crew.
The Erin sank SO rapidly after the col
lision that those members of the crew
who were asleep had little chance for
their lives.
Officers Were Confused.
Capt. Sullivan of the Erin was in the
pilot house when the collision occur
red, and the impact of the steel freight
er as she hit the boat, threw him into
the river. He foated down to Marine
City on some wreckage before being
rescued. Capt. Sullivan says that the
officers of the Cowle evidently were
confused as to the number of boats ap-
preaching and that this caused the
collision. The body of Mrs. Reed came
to the surface soon after the accident
and has been picked up.
