|. c. LOSES TAX CASE
STATE OF ILLINOIS Is VICTOR
OVER RAILROAD UNDER DEcI-
SION BY HIGH COURT.
OvERRULES LINE DEMURRER
Case Goes to La Sale County Court
to Be Heard on Merits-Action
Based on Findings of Accountants
That Reports Had Been Changed.

Springfield, Ill.-A decision of the
supreme court of Illinois was handed
down Friday in the tax case Of the
state against the Illinois Central Rail
road company.
The state won every important con-
tention with the exception that the
opinion holds the accounts prior to
1905 have been accepted by the state
and payment made thereon, and that
therefore they are not subject to fur
Their inquiry.
But for the future settlements and
for the settlement of all accounts
since Governor Deneen came into Of
flee, the court lays down hard and
fast rules for accounting by which
the state will reap a reward of ST.
100000 year more in taxes than it
has been receiving from the Illinois
Central Railroad company.
When the Illinois Central rendered
it's first payment under Governor De-
mems administration he accepted the
money with the understanding the &C
counting upon which the money was
rendered was subject to revision. This
act on the part of the governor, the
court holds, makes all transactions
with the road during his administra-
ton subject to further accounting.
The court remands the case to the
circuit court of La Sale county. with
instructions to proceed in accordance
with the views in it's opinion. Unless
the railroad accepts the courts de-
cision as final, the circuit court OF
La Sale county will no doubt appoint
a master to go into all the details of
the accounting since 1905, and the
case may be prolonged indefinitely.
At present the railroad is paying ap-
proximately $1,000,000 to the state
every year.
The suit against the Illinois Central
was filed early in December, 1907, by
the attorney general, following mes
sage from Governor Deneen to the
legislator, declaring that the road
had been so manipulating its accounts
as to credit millions Of its earnings
to the non-charter lines, not subject
to the tax Of Z per cent. Later &C
counting swelled the amount which
Governor Deneen declared the road
owed to the state from 100000 to
s15,00O,000.

RIOTS IN DRIVERS STRIKE
Walkout of Express Employees Spreads
to New York City-VioIence Fol-
iows-Business at StandstilI.

New York--'rhe strike Of drivers
and helpers employed by all the lar
ger express companies that for sew
eral days has been in progress at the
railroad terminals on the Jersey City
side of tie North river, spread to
New York Friday, and as result the
entire business of receipt and dellv-
cry of all goods in transit was ma
terially affected.
The situation is in veritable state
OF chaos with an outlook for even
worse conditions unless the express
matter piling up at the railroad de-
pots can be moved. The police seem
powerless to render sufficient protec-
ton and the men ready to hire out
as strike-breakers are very difident
about applying for the positions.
Scenes of violence were enacted all
over the city, wagons being stoned
= and drivers beaten
In Jersey City and Hoboken, where
the large stables are located. the strike
has completely tied up the companies
and perishable goods, as a conse-
ouence, are accommodating in huge
piles.
The express companies have made
tentative application to Governor Fort
for the calling out OF the militia to
guard their wagons and buildings, but
the Jersey City police authorities are
confident that they can handle tho
situation.

Washington, ID. c.. June 25.-Had
Representatives Mcclure, Morgan and
Creaser, the three republicans in the
Oklahoma congressional delegation,
voted with the democra Thursday or
ganized labor would have been eman-
cipated from the rigorous eXactions OF
the Sherman antitrust law. Democrat
ic members of the Oklahoma delega-
ton voted to emancipate the laboring
man.
As it is, labor organizations have
lost their fight to gain exemption from
prosecution under the antitrust and
interstate commerce laws. Following
a lively debate and by vote of l3S to
1870, the house Thursday agreed TO the
senate action striking out a provision
in the sundry civil bill thai would have
effected this immunity.
When the sundry civil bill was be-
fore the house that body tackled on
an amendment by Mr., Hughes OF New
Jersey. a democrat. providing that no
part of the appropriation for the en-
forcement of the antitrust laws shall
be spent in the prosecution of any or
ganization or individual for entering
/ into any combination or agreement
having in view the increasing of wages,
shortening of hours or bettering the
conditions of labor. or for any act done
/ in furtherance thereof not in itself
unlawful
The senate struck out the amend
ment. The house then instructed its
conferees to stand by that provision,
and the senate conferees, resenting
such an ironclad direction, refused to
consider the item.
Thursday. Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota,
one of the house conferees, moved that
the house recede from its position
and concur with the senate's action.
The motion stirred up a hornets nest.
On the final vote, which gave a
knockout blow to the Hughes amend
ment and left the way clear to easier
agreement on the sundry civil bill,
the following republicans voted with
the democrats for the Hughes amend
ment:
Austin, Tennessee: Carey, Cooper

republicans
Eartlett, Nevada; Sherley, Ken

There were sixteen present who did
not vote and numerous pairs of demo
Gratis with the republicans.
During the debate, Mr.. Tawney said
he hoped the house would recede ard
concur with the senate as to this
amendment, saying the amendment
was offered for political buncombe.
He protested against congress tying
the hands of the government in the en-
fOrcement of criminal law and said
the amendment worked a class dis
which would institute a
policy that some day would shake the
