Providence, r. L, April 22-With only
one more day in which to break the

The Republicans compose nearly two

U. S. BONDS EXEMPT.
State Cannot Tax Them When They
Represent Bank Stock

Washington. April 22.-Decfding
several cases brought to it by savings
banks in Des Moines, Ia, the supreme
court of the United States held today
that government bonds in which the
capital stock of such banks is invest
ed are exempt from taxation. The
test opinion was delivered by Justice
Moody in the case of the Home Saw
ings bank against the city of Des
Moines. The Iowa supreme court, in
deciding the case, LAID down the gen

emption from state taxa ton with
which the bonds of the United States
are clothed does not entitie the bank
to deduct the amount of such bonds
from the value of the shares of their
stock which are assessed to it for the
purpose of taxation" Justice Moody's
opinion reversed that ruling on the
ground that the course outlined is
clearly a direct tax on the securities
of the United States and therefore
not permissible. The chief justice and

CONTINUES TO SPREAD
Telegraphers' Strike Sweeping
Rapidly Over Country.
lIANY CITIES NOW AFFECTED
Believed That Trouble VIII Become
General Within a Few Days, as No
Steps Are Being Taken to Arrange
a Settlement.

Chicago, Aug 12.-The strike Of
telegraph operators continues to
spread rapidly to all parts of the
country. 1t began in this city when
500 men employed by the Western
Union and Postal companies refused
to work with the nonunion men man
ming the keys at Los Angeles, Cal.
Following this action the operators at
Helena, Denver, Kansas City, Mime
apolis, Salt Lake, New Orleans, Dal-
las, Fort Worth and many other cities
left their positions, practically tieing
up business at all points affected.
1t is likely the strike will become
general within the next few days, but
officials Of the companies declare they
viii not grant the demands of the
men, especially the closed shop. They
assert that the men have no money
to finance long battle and that they

Chicago, Aug 12-The contest be-

Telegraph companies and their oper-
ators is to be fought out in Chicago.
1t has been practically determined by
the operators and the companies that
this will be the battle-ground and the
result here will largely settle the re-
suit of the strike in other parts OF
the country.

ers and ctsnmission houses were at
work during the. day and 1t was under
stood that whether or not they are to
remain at work will be settled at a
meeting to be held shortly.
The Western Union claims to have
100 men at work and they certainly
had that many men in their operating
room. They asserted that they will
be able to master the situation within
a few days. The Postal has less men
at work than the Western Union and
were not in as good shape as the 9th
er company. Neither OF them were
handling business, however, with even
an approach to ordinary speed. The
ticker service of the Western Union
was in a crippled condition and its
service was of little value to brokers.
The strikers claimed that both of
the companies were tied up complete
ly and that with the spread OF the
strike the difficulties will increase IN
til the victory of the operators is GER

possible for the company to secure
men skilIful enough to handle the
work properly and that although
some men may be imported to fill the
places OF the strikers they will not
