Grade Crossing Suit.

Chairman Wood, of the Indi-
ana railroad commission, Satur-
day announced that the law firm
of Hanan & Hannah OF Topeka,
Lagrange county, had been re-
tanned by the commission to
have charge of a suit to be filed
against the Wabash Railway
company to compel the elimina-
ton of a grade crossing in that
place. The crossing in question,
according to Mr.. Wood, is partic-
ularly dangerous.
The case rs to made a test OF
the right of the commission in
order to eliminate the crossings.
In his recommendations to the
recent general assembly, the
governor advocated the enact
ment OF a law giving the commits
sion explicit power to order such
eliminatTons, and the commits
sion caused to be introduced a
bill embodying the governor
plan, but the project was defeat
ed. Some time ago the commits
sion took up the subject with a
view OF determining whether il
had the power under the general
statutes to enforce elimination
orders. The railway company ig-
noretl the order.
There are approximately ter
thousand grade crossings in the
state, which the commission will
seek to eliminate gradually if il
finds it has the authority.

TAX TEST
HAWAIIAN CANOES HAVE THE
ADVANTAGE OF JAPANESE SAM
PANS-FIRST ARREST.

Minatolani, Japanese fisherman was
arraigned in police court this morn
ing on a charge of violating Act 90,
1907 in that he was conducting a fish
ing business without a license His
is the first arrest under the crusade
of the City and County to gether in the
S. a year licenses due from the sam
pan men.
Attorney A. l.. c.. Atkinson, how
ever, appears for the accused and will
make a test case, contending that the
taxing of tn sampans is unconsti-
tutional inasmuch as exemption is al
lowed in the matter of Hawaiian fish
ing canoes, the law providing that any
boat used for the purpose of fishing
for profit that has a beam of thirty
inches, or more shall be deemed fish
ing boat for the purposes of the act.
The thirty inches lets out Hawaiian
canoes and the sampan men, by their
attorney, contend that this is a dis
elimination against them inasmuch as
Hawaiians can fish in their canoes
without paying license, whereas the
sampan fishermen must dig up So.
The case goes over until a week
from today.

BY very simple process of reasoning
taking the first statement made by DR.

conclusion is reached.
DR.. Ferguson is prepared to prove
to any skeptic, beyond all manner of

statement, that the earth is fiat and
that it is not round. He did not ap-
pear to be in the least afraid that
the Alameda would steam over the

of sincere effort on the part of the
Republican party to make downward
revision, and to comply with the pro-
misses of the platform as theShave been
generally understood, and as | inter
preted them in the campaign.
This is not a perfect tariff bill, or a
complete compliance with the promises
made, strictly interpreted, but fulfill
ment, free from criticism in respect to
suvject matter involving many sche-
dulles and thousands of articles could
not be expected. 1t suffices to say that
except with regard to whiskey, liquors
and wines, and in regard to silks and
to some high classes of cottons, all of
which may be treated as luxuries and
proper subjects of a revenue tariff,
there have been very few increases in
rates.
There nave been a great number of
real decreases in rates and they con-
stitute a sufficient amount to justify
the statement that this bin is a sub
stantial diwnward revision and a re-
duction of excessive rates.
This is not a free trade bill 1t
was not intended to be. The Repub-
lican party did not promise to make a
Tree trade bill. 1t promised to make
the rates protective, but to reduce
them when they exceeded the differ
ence between the cost of production
abroad and here. making allowances
for the greater normal profit on active
investments here. | believe that while
this excess has not been reduced in a
number of cases, in great majority
the rates are such as are necessary to
protect American industries, but are
low enough in case of abnormal in
crease of demand, and raising of prices
to permit the possibility of importing
the foreign articles and thus to prevent
excessive prices.

under the maximum and minimum
clause may be exercised to secure the

Gradually the Japanese strikers are
leaving this city and either going to
work on the plantations of this island
or striking out to make a new start
on Kauai, Maui or Hawaii. Accord
ing to figures given by the Higher
Wage Association and the Inter-Isl-
and Steam Navigation Company in the
vicinity of 500 Japanese have left for
the other islands since the strike was
declared off. Where they have funds
of their own the strikers are paying
their own way, but where they have
no money the Higher Wage Associa-
ton is paying their fare.

ried about seventy japanese as deck
