GREAT COURT BATTLE ASSURED.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 2.-[Special.l
The Milwaukee road today filed its an
swer to the suit of the state which is
suing for $4,000 alleged to be due the
people in taxes on unreported gross earn
ings for the year 1898 to 1902. The
railroad company declares that instead
of owing the state anything the common
wealth owes the railroad the enormous
sum of 81, 400, 74S.G9.
Overpaid Sum in Taxes.
The railroad company says that this
amount represents the sum which it has
overpad in taxes and bases its claim
on the fact that the road paid taxes on
interstate business and also on interstate
business where it should only have paid
under the license fee law, on interstate
business.
The railways answer today means a
great battle in the courts which will
probably not end until it is heard by
the highest federal tribunal at Washing
ton.
Contention of the Railroad.
The law to give the state power to in
veStigate the books of railroad companies
was passed in 1903 and at the 1905 ses-
sion of the Legislature, another statute
was enacted, directing that the state be-
gin action against the roads for back
taxes alleged to be due the state on
unreporteC gross earnings.
Under ordinary procedure, when taxes
are not paid under protest, no refund
can be obtained, but the railroad COM
pany evidently bases its case upon this
part of the statute
That is upon such action the court
shall find nothing due the plaintiff or
that any amount is due any Of the de-
PENDANTS, judgment shall be rendered in
favor of such defendant for such amount
and the costs and disbursement of the
action"
Should the state lose its case. and the
contention of the road be upheld. it
means that nearly one and half million
dollars would have to be paid ont of the
state treasury to the road. The back tax
law was one of the measures of Gov.
La Follette's administration.

NEWPORT, r. T., May 10.-All Amer

the submarine Octopus went through
a series Of extraordinary tests In Cod
dington Cove, in nasty sea, with a
thick fog that cleared at times, and
a southwest wind that blew forty
miles an hour. The principal test
was to determine whether the octo-
pus, while anoat, would be able to
get submerged quickly If an enemy
should bo sighted. Running at fu1l
speed on the surface. propelled by
gasoline engines, the Octopus re-
ceived signal from the tria, board OH
the tender Nina. immediately the cn-
gines were stopped and power was
furnished by storage batteries. the rud-
ders, were adjusted, and the subna-
rine took thirty-seven tons OF water
into her tanks and sank to a depth
of twenty feet. This was accomplish
ed within four and a half minutes af-
ter receiving the signal A second test
reduced the time by about half q
minute.
When coming to the surface fron,
one Of her dives the Octopus sighted
in the lifting fog tug and tow nj
barses. The submarine immediate y
dived and escaped the danger OF q
collision by going down SO deep in
the water that the tow could pass
above in safety. At another time, wner
the Octopus was running awash al
a speed Of ten knots an hour, she
dlved and was completely submerged
in 23 seconds.
