Great Northern Must Pay.

Judge Lewis has filed in the district
court his decision in the case of the
state of Minnesota against the Great
Northern Railroad company, in which
the state sought to compel the COM
pany to pay the 4 per cent gross earn
ings tax under the state law of 1908.
The railway company had paid the
per cent gross earnings tax, but
claimed it was exempt from the A per
cent tax under an agreement with the
territorial legislature of date of
May %, 1857, by which it was to pay
per cent tax in lieu of all other
taxes of the kind by the state. The
railroad, in territorial days, was
known as the Minnesota & Pacific

WERE SAILORS UNDER VERY
BRUTAL CAPTAIN.
For Eight Months They Worked With
out Pay-Treated Like Dogs, They
Tried to Escape-Two Were Drown
ed-Rather Die Than Go Back to
Sea With the Cruel Captain.

Death followed mutiny Saturday on
the ship Straphyre of Glasgow, when
IL of her Chinese crew, driven to des-
peration by the brutalities of Captain
John Gum, attempted suicide by
drowning in the Erie basin, near New
York, where the ship lies. Two people
persisted.
The Chinese's story of maltreatment |
is like a yarn of the olden days when
the bosuns "cat" and the captains |
marlinspike were more used than now
to keep order before the mast. Shipped
at Shanghai IL months ago, the crew
say they have not had dollar of pay
nothing but blows and abuse since
that day, their eight months contract
having expired, and they sought to
leave the ship they describe as living
hell.
When the Straphyre arrived in New
York and was laid up in Erie basin the
trouble began. One and all of the
Chinese demanded their wages and
they were refused. Then they desert
ed. They leaped the bulwarks and,
trembling with fear, ran down the
wharf amid a hail of bullets from the
Waterman. Then the police clubs
came into play and the Chinese were
driven back to the vessel. Then came
the Chinese consular ENJOYS in the
port They. heard their countrymen's
story and they could do nothing be
yond advising them to remain aboarC
until the courts could settle theil
claims.
But the II months of no pay ant
the alleged vengeance of the captain
on their return drove the already des
perate Chinese to madness.

warship fleet in the Pacific, starte
