KENTUCKY MAY WIN
100000 IN TAXES
Judge Stout Orders State Board to
Assess Southern Pacific
Railroad.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 2.-Ir
the Circuit Court yesterday Judge
Stout rendered a decision in which
he directs the State Board of Valu-
alton and Assessment to value and
assess the Southern Pacific railroad
according to law.
Judge Stout does not say what val
uation shall be placed on the South
ern Pacific, which has its Offices at
Beechmont, a suburb of Louisville.
The suit, however, was to force an
assessment on valuation of $780,
100000 and will mean about $G,000.-
600 for the State if the Court of
Appeals upholds the judgment, as
five years taxes are involved.

Port au Prince, Dec. 2. = The ex-
pected battle between the revolution
lists and the troops of the govern
ment, which are entrenched a few
miles outside the city, is likely to be
deferred for several days. General
Antoine Simon, the commander-in-
chief of the revolutionary forces, has
decided to attack Jacmel, which lies
80 miles to the southwest of this
city, and which is the only town that
has remained loyal in the department
of the south, before resuming his
march on Port au Prince.
1t is believed, however, that the
situation, so far as the governments
is concerned, is lost Louis Borno,
the minister of state, has handed in
his resignation and has taken refuge
now remain in Office only three Of
the high governmental officials, Cen
eral Leconte, minister of the inter-
ior; General Laleau, minister Of jus
tice and public instruction, and Cen
eral Marcelin, minister Of finance and
commerce. All the other ministers
have resigned with the exception of
General Celestin Cyriaque, who, after
his recent defeat at the hands of the
insurgents, is believed to have found
asylum in one of the foreign con-
sulates.
1t was Louis Borno who took up
the portfolio of state relinquished by
General Sannon when he sought ref
uge in the French legation last
March after "resigning." He was
credited with inducing President Al
exis to permit the departure in safe
ty of General Firmin and the other
revolutionary agitators who had fed
to the legations and consulates at
Port au Prince and Gonaives at the
time of the last uprising
1t is believed that the intention Of
the president in calling an extraordi-
nary session of the chambers is to
have them name his successor. Presi-
dent Alexis favors either of two can
didates for the office, General Tu-
renne Jean Giles and Scion Menos,
distinguished lawyer. But there Is
doubt that quorum could be Sc
cured because of the absence of the
great majority OF the deputies and
senators of the department Of the
south. General Giles has been IA
vorite of General Alexis and is q
strong supporter of his policies.

STRAUS SUBMITS
ANNUAL REPORT
Secretary FavOrs Supervision of Cor
p0rati0ns-BeIieveS in
Publicity.

Washington, Dec. 2. - Important
and unusual statements and recon-
mendations are made by Secretary
Oscar S. Straus in the sixth annual
report of the department of COM
merce and labor.
Our age" says Secretary Straus,
has been very properly called an
era Of commercial development and
expansion. and the. United States, by
reason of its many exceptional ad-
vantages, its boundless natural re-
sources, and possessing a growing,
intelligent, energetic, enterprising
and self-reliant population, is reap
ing a greater share of industrial and
commercial prosperity than any of
the other nations of the world"
Secretary Straus points out that
labor and the industries and COM
merce are inter-dependent. ~f'That
commerce which is developed and ex-
banded to the detriment, either Of
the health or of the wage standard
Of the laborers engaged therein, how
ever profitable it might be in the ma
terial sense, is harmful to a nations
welfare and should be discouraged"
Some space is devoted to a consid-
GRAFTON of the operations Of the bu-
reau of corporations, but on account
of the character of the work of that
bureau little definite information is
disclosed. The secretary says that
the bureau now has on hand investi-
cations of the tobacco, steel and lum-
er industries, inland waterways, the
International Harvester company and
further investigation of the petro-
leum industry and cotton exchanges.
He is of the opinion that advance
toward corporate reform must come
through some general system of pub
licity."
Secretary Straus strongly recon-
mends the adoption of definite sys-
tenn of positive supervision and regu-
lation of corporations through an ad-
ministrative Office, urging that such
a system is constructive, not destruc-
tive. Through this Office it would be
possible to publish important facts as
to corporate operations, safeguarding
the unnecessary publication of all
proper business secrets.
at is becoming more and more OBJ
vious that the work of the govern
ment in. regulating corporations
should not be directed at the mere
existence of the combination itself,
as such, but should deal rather with
the way in which the combination
powers are used, so as to prevent as
far as possible the misuse of these
great industrial forces. Only such
combinations as are formed for
wrongful purposes, or such combina-
tons as use their powers for evil,
should be brought under the condem-
nation of the law"
Statistics are furnished to show
that the percentage of foreign-born
persons in our population has re.
NAMED practically unchanged for &c
years, in 1860 being 1872, while in
1900 it was 1877. The recent finan-
cial depression resulted in a falling
off Of SO per cent in immigration for
the fiscal year 1908, the net increase,
after deducting departures of aliens
was for the year 209,S67, of whom 26
per cent are illiterate. The total
amount Of money brought into the
country by immigrants was $17,794,
226- an average of S25 per canita-

TAFT IS CONFIDENT
Believes Tariff Revision VIII Be Ac-
compIished Without Friction.


compIlshed Without Friction.
Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 2-Repre-
sentative William B. Mckinley of IL
linois, a close personal friend Of
Speaker Cannon, is to visit the presi-
dent-elect here Friday. That Mr.. Nc
Kinley will bear assurance from the
speaker in harmony with other mes
sages which have reached Judge Taft
through friends of Mr.. Cannon is
consistently predicted here. These
assurances are all in the line of har-
mony and have been received with
considerable qualification.
The president-elect has been con-
stantly insistent on thorough tariff
revision, and while he has made no
statement as to the outlook, it is
known that he feels very much en-
couraged and confident that the re-
suit is to be satisfactory and accom-
plished probably without undue fric-
ton.

AS The News goes to press this
bright December day, the remains of
Wmchester's honored citizen, Can
tain W. A. Attersall are being laid to
rest In our beautiful cemetery.
A former citizen tells this story OF
Captain Attersall. He was appoint
ed by the Council to buy fire en-
CINE and other equipments for the
department of this city. This gentle
man was with Captain Attersan when
he went to the factory to make the
purchase. The manager, after the
prices were made, told Captain After
sail that he would be entitled to
certain per cent for himself if the
purchase was made, that they always
did that with the representatives
from the larger cities. The trade
as closed and the per cent to which
Captain Attersall was entitled,
amounted to fifteen hundred dollars
Captain Attersall then ordered fifteen
hundred dollars worth of additional
supplies for the department, the city
getting the benefit of the fifteen hun
dred dollars that he could just a.
easily have put in his own pocket.
Among those in attendance from
other cities are A Gnadinger and his
son, Anthony from Cynthiana, Geo.
Richter, from Cincinnati, Mr.. anC
Mrs. John Burk, Of Lexington and
Matt Madigan of Frankfort.
The services at the residence were
conducted by Rev. F. B. Wentworth,
of the Episcopal church and Rev. o.
j. Chandler of the Methodist church.
