DIVIDEND INSISTED UPON
Municipal Traction Company OF
Cleveland Tenders Rent Money
on Certain Conditions.

Cleveland, Sept. 30.-The Municipal
Traction company. which is operating
the street railway property of the
Cleveland Railway company upon a
basis of 3-cent fares, today made a
tender of second quarterly rental
charges upon conditions which caused
its refusal The rental is based upon
an earning of per cent upon the
capital of the owning company, $l4,-
900 900, which amounts to $4,000 q
quarter This money constitutes the
only earnings of the Cleveland Rail
way company.
Recently there has been a report in
circulation that the Cleveland Railway
company officials intend to pass the
present sen i-annuaI dividend. When
the $220,O0O rental money was offered
by the leasing company, the Municipal
Traction company, today, 1T was upon
the condition that the owning company
agree not to pass the dividend. Secre-
tary Davies of the Cleveland Railway
company refused 10 accept the money
under those conditions and the pay
ment was withheld.
Secretary Davies took the position
that the declaring of passing of a div
idend was a matter entirely within the
jurisdiCtiO Of the directors of his COM
pany and no concern of the operating
company. The Municipal Traction
company imposed the conditions, it is
said. upon the theory that the passing
of a dividend would discredit it in the
eyes of the investing public.

in the rates on rough lumber from the
willamette River valley. IN Oregon, to
san Francisco and other Pacific points.
In their arguments upon the demur-
rer the attorneys for the Southern Pa
cific charged that the Hepburn rate
law was unconstitutional, and it was
urged that the court should review the
findings of the commission and deter
mine, upon the facts presented, wheth-
eT or not such was the ccNe.
The demurrer, prepared by Luther NJ.
Walter, solicitor for the commission;
Joseph n. Teal special counsel, and
United States District Attorney Dew
lin. held that the act to regulate COM
merce, as amended, is constitutional;
that a court should not interfere and
set aside a rate fixed by the commits
sion, unless it be charged and proven
that the rate fixed by the commission
was arrived ut through fraud, mistake,
error of law or that the rate fixed was
so low as to be confiscatory. In this
contention the attorneys for the gov
eminent set before the judges the mat
ter of court review, a subject of eX-
tended cont Oversy during the congress
which amended the rate bill.

St. Petersburg, SEPT 90.-For the twen-
ty-tour hours ending at 1oon today, 223

cholera have been reported by the n.u-
nicipal hospitals.
For the previous twenty-four hours the

hours ended At noon yesterday
The totals since the beginning of the
epidemic are 1856 cases. 2,l6S deaths ard
1851 recoyeries.
There has beer published ar official re-
port of the outbreak of cholera at tn 2
Pavlovsk military academy. This shows
that the disease originated in the academy
kitchen, where a cook who was sufferin 3
from lncipient anolera prepared the fooc
for the cadets for several days. The cook
contracted the disease in the cholera hos
pital, where he was sent or a mistaken
diagnosis. When the physician discovered
his error the cook was dis charged and al
lowed to return to duty. This gross care
lessness resulted in fifty-eight of the ca
diets coming down with the disease. Five
of these cases ended fatally.
1t has been decided TO close one of the
important municipal provision markets
where cleanliness and sanitation were he
ing neglected. Representatives of Premier
Stolypin today inspected the other niu-

TIE
General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable TO the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one OF many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
