Mr.. Dillon was congratulated at the
close of his speech, which was a mag
nificent array of facts. delivered with
all the earnestness and force of his
nature.
Mr.. Molohan ably attacked the the
ory that the franchise value of the
railroad could be considered without
Legislative authority specifically com
ferred, and he also vigorously eontro-
verted the unit idea, that is, taking
the system in the State as a whole.
instead Of assessing it piecemeal by
counties.
From the side remarks from the
bench the State has been encouraged
to look for its assessment being sus-
tanned. The State does not feel that
it is responsible for failure to list the
Ohio River as a separate cooperation.

the fact that the B.. 6 o. returned the

Dillon also spoke of ninety-nine per
cent of the Ohio River stock being
owned. by the Baltimore G Ohio and
that the B. g o. had been paying the
taxes on the Ohio River road for the
last i've or six years.
If it were true that the other two
branches didn't pay, Mr.. Dillon In
quired why that hadn't been shown by
the appellant. No statement Of the
income for the constituent parts was
made whatever. either to the board or
at this trial other than general OBJ
servattons about the roads being
worthless, which were made by engi-
neers for the road, but not by account
ants or by established accountlngs.
Mr.. Dillon made an elaborate defense
of the unit idea in assessing railroads.
instead of segrating a system. and he
showed by the company's own state
ment, taking It's mileage OF LOAF miles

profit of almost s5,5oO,0Oo last year.

Steamer Whitehall from Colon Has Six

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-The steamer
Whitehall from Colon was today de-
clared menace to the health Of all
ports and orders were given by the
state board of health to hold her in
definitely at the Mississippi quarantine
station. The Whitehall has one of the
worst fever epidemics on shipboard in
the records of tropical shipping, hav-
ing arrived here two days ago with an
outbreak of chagres fever.
With the death today of the steam
er's second officer, three of her COM
plement of twenty-one men have al
ready died and sixteen others are in
the hospital. Quarantine officials say
that when the Whitehall entered the
Mississippi river with scarcely enough
well men to run her, so great was the
amount of dirt and swarms of flies on
her decks, that the nerves of expe-.
rienced physicians were shaken as they
boarded her. The steamer will not be
permitted to come to New Orleans un-.
