company of Cossacks Of Tiflis pro-
vince and surrounded his camp. which

WESTERN UNION
IS NOT LIABLE
Court Holds It Cannot Be Tax.
ed DouDly BY State and
Nation

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 4-The Western
Union Telegraph company was held
not liable for federal franchise taxes
amounting to $950,0O0 by an opinion
handed down in the United States cir
cult court Of appeals here today in the
case OF the Western Union company
vs. w. H. Wright, comptroller of the
state of Georgia.
In the opinion 1t was held that as
the company already had been taxed
on valuation of s756. coo by the state
on its property that = further tax of
$950,000 federal franchise value was
excessive, especially in view Of the
fact that the profit made by the COM
pany in the state in 1908 was only a
little in excess of $1,000.
Attorney Albert Howell, who rep
resented the telegraph company in the
federal court, stated after the decision
was announced that the case was of
more than local importance. Mr..
Howell said:
"By this decision every telegraph
company in the nited States. which
accepted the post roads act of 1866 is
exempt from state val taxation on its
franchise. This means that states,
which have pass franchise tax laws
win be prohibited from collecting such
taxes from the telegraph companies" !"

SEVEN AUTOS

Doors Of Building Open When Blaze
Was Discovered and These Could
Only Be Opened From the Inside
Other Buildings Burned.

Grafton, N. D., Oct. 4.-Thieves
raiding the Mckay Bros, garage in
this city are charged with the re-
sponsibility of starting a fire which
did damage totaling approximately
100000. Seven automobiles belong
ing to Grafton residents were burned,
while the garagt and it's contents, to-
gether with two adjoining buildings,
met a similar fate.
When the night watchman discov-
cred the fire about S o'clock this
morning there was only a small blaze
in the floor, but he also found that
the back doors Of the shop. through
which cars were taken in and out of
the building, were open. These can
only be opened from the inside and
add strength to the theory that the
blaze was started by someone who
had gained admission to the build
ing with feloneous intent.
Before an alarm could be turned in
the fire had spread rapily over the oil
soaked floor and in q few moments
had reached the several automobiles
that were housed In the building.
There was rapid succession of ex-
plosions Of gasoline tanks and the
building was Immediately enveloped
in flames against which the city's
fire fghting force was helpless. ~,
The blaze was communicated to an
adjoining vacant building and to. the
one in which the Klondyke restaurant
is located, destroying both. The lat
ter building was owned by Nollman
& Lewis, while ]. O'Brien owned the
building in which Mckay Bros. were
housed.
