Maine fairly rocks with political
agitation. The importance of the
result in the state to other political
contests throughout the country
has made Maine a sort of Anna
geddon, and the forces of both the
great parties are concentrated upon
the result. The republicans seem
decidedly to have the pole, and it
now looks as though Maine was
going to follow the good example
set by Vermont last week.

STATE WINS RAILROAD CASES.
Decision Against Rutland And
CIV Companies In Tax Suits.

Judge >.-irca tiasritoh III bHiH"S
ton has handed decision of the eases
Of the State against the Rdtlani and
the central Vermont railroad comPan-
les for taxes which were claimed To
he due aud unpaid, awarding the State
the full amount of ITS claims. The
amounts involved are Rutland rail-
road, go. 900; Central Vermont, s35,-
600. The cases win he carried TO the
Supreme court at the October term.
Suits were brought May 20 10y at
torney General Clarke {. Fnts against
the Central Vermont Railroad aud the
Rutland railroad for taxes which
were claimed to he due aud unpaid,
amounting in the case oi the Centrs
Vermont To 500 900 aud IN the case of
the Rutland Railroad TO $4,000. The
suits were r-turnahle at the Grand
Isl" County court at the August term.
The statute imposes an absolute tax
of ! per cent on the appraised value
of each railroad, " hich Ia the ease Of
the Central Vermont aud its leased
lines IN this State is sol, l79, but a
| railroad corporation may, in lieu OF
the per cent tax, pay a minimum
rate of y per cent on the gross
earnings when they do not exceed
81 900 per mile of the roadbed of each
railroad located within the State
Then this rate increases as the earn.
ings per mile increase.
The Central Vermont railroad com
pany for the year 1907 figured in all of
lts side tracks land spur tracks as roaC
bed. making the road bed ror Vernon
40 milee. The returns previously givel
10y this company to the State commits
Toner OF taxes made the mileage 30
miles. The increase in roadbed il
creases the taxes and makes the differ
ence $40, 900 Il year,
The attorney general and the com
missioner Of State taxes contende
that the mileage of 291 miles was tn
correct basis upon which the taxatio
should he figured, aud they furthe
: claimed that inasmuch IA the compan
had not paid what was due on tn
gross earnings it no longer had I'll
option to pay on the gross earning
. but must pay the per cent Ia,
: amounting to $4,000 above what ha
' already been pail.
ii The statute also Imposes penalt
l. of 500 day for the failure to pi
. when due, and the accrued penar
y in this instance were figured at $4,000

< The Rutland Railroad company a

FLEET WILL
VISIT JAPAN
Upon Request Of That
Kingdom. ltinery
Announced

WASHINGTON, March 21-An in
vitation to the Ameican fleet to visit
the Kingdom of Japan was received
by the Navy department yesterday
through the Japanese ambassador
here and after a lengthy discussion
the invitation was accepted. Only a
short time really elapsed between the
receipt of the invitation and the ac-
ceptance.by the cabinet and the reply
government by their minister today.
It is the impression here that the
officials here were prepared for the
invitation and that the matter OF
the visit had been discussed before.
The itinery of the feet has now
been entirely revised and was made
public yesterday. 1t is as follows:
Stops will be made on the return
trip from San Francisco at the Hav
ailan Islands, Samoa, Melbourne,
Sydney, Manila, Yokohama possibly
a Chinese port back to the Phillip
pine Islands for the fall target prac-
tice and then to the Atlantic coast
1t is possible that the fail target
practice in the Philippines may be
done away with owing to the desire
To return the fleet to the Atlantic
coast
1t is anticipated in officials circles
that China will also ask that the
great armada visit one of her ports
and arrangements are under way to
accept this invitation if it should be
presented.
A telegram received at the Capito!
today states that the immediate ac-
ceptance of the invitation for the
feet to visit Japan was received with
ever evidence of qualification at To-
kio and the friendly feeling existing
between the two countries has been
more fully cemented. The American
ambassador at Toxic sent message
of thanks to the United States today
expressing his pleasure at the action
taken by the home government

MOTION
TO QUASH
Indictments Against Da-
Wis and Broughcr is
Made Today

This morning in the district court
before Judge Langan Cashier Jas. T.
Davis and Director Wills Brougher of
the State Bank and Trust company
were arra;gned to answer on the in
dictments brought against them by
the grand jury of Ormsby county
Attorney Sam Platt represented the
indicted men and in his opening ar
aument stated that it was his desire
that the points brough out in the
motion to quash in the Hickey case
should also apply to the case he
would present for his clients who
are indicted on the same charge as
Hickey. The same was ordered al
lowed by the court.
Mr.. Flatt began his argument on
his motion to quash the indictments
against his clients by reading sworn
afidayitS from both of the indicted
men wherein it was stated that they
had been called to testify before the
grand jury while it was considering
the Hickey case and that after they
had testified they too We're indicted
by the inquisitoiial body, their tes-
timony given being used against them
Iii the sworn affidavit of Mr. Brough
er the latter stated that he had been
Informed that Rckey was the only
man whom the prosecution was af-
ter and that BrOughers testimony was
wanted in order TO secure an indict-
ment against the president of the
bank. Brougher had testified before
the grand jury without being inform
ed that an Indictment was to be
brought aginst the directors or that
his evidence would be used against
him after the Hickey case had been
desided
Mr. Platt then cited the constitution
OF the state Of Nevada wherein it is
stated that no man be compelled to
testify against himself
Air. Platt spent the entire forenoon
in his argument on the motion to
quash the indictments against Davis
and Brougher, citing many authori-
in law tending to show that the in
dictments against the men were not
legally found and should be declared
nul, and void.
This afternoon Attorney Sardis
Summerfield demurred against the
indictments brought against his
clients, A. Livingston, S. l.. Lee and
T. P. Woodbury.. He argued his de-
nlurrer basing his contentious on the
nconstitutionality of the law pass
ed by the Legislature of 1907 under
. which act the indictments were
brought. He will file briefs on de
murrer with Judge Langan and this
case will be decided at the same
time as the demurrer in the Rickey
case which has already been pre-
5ented to the court.
District Attorney Roberts then pre-
sented his argument on the motion
to ouash in the matter OF the in
dictments against Davis and BrOugh
er Roberts made his argument OF
the constitutiona!ity Of the law ant
the efficiency of the Indictment
brought against the defendants by tn
grand jury of this county.
At the completion of his argumen
court too a recess until 10 o'clock o.
next Monday at which time a dec1s
ion will be rendered in the mot1o
to quash.
