T|LLMAN MUCH BETTER,
HIS DOCTORS DECLARE
His Paralysis Is Much Less,
and His Mind Is
Clear
(By Associated Press. }

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-After an
other consultation this morning. Drs.
Babcock and Piclxford issued the follow
ing bulletin in regard to Senator Till
mans change:
Senator Tillman's condition continued
improved. The paralysis is much less
than yesterday. His mind is very clear
and memory excellent. The outlook is
more encouraging than at any time since
present illness began"
The paralysis has abated to such de-
gree that the senator was able today to
move his right arm and leg.
The most encouraging feature of his I'M
provement, however, is the return of the
power of speech. When he awoke this
morning he asked member of his fam
lily If today was Monday. The words
were plainly spoken and the nature of
his question indicates that his mind was
clear and that he had kept track of time
since the inception of his present serious
attack.
Absolute quiet is enjoined, however, and
he was not permitted to talk further than
to show his ability to articulate. In the
opinion of the doctors the basic trouble
centers of the brain and the cells have
not sbeen destroyed. 1t is this belief that
has greatly raised their hope of his ulti-
mate recovery of the full power of
speech.

Southern Railway Wins
Out on Annual Franchise Tax

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-By reversing
the decision of the supreme court of Ala
bama, the supreme court of the United
States today declared unconstitutional, as
applied to the Southern Railway company.
the Alabama statute levying an annual
franchise tax on foreign corporations do
ing a business in the state. The court
held it was an improper discrimination
between foreign and domestic corpora
tions. ~
The constitutionality of the act of the
Alabama legislature of March z, 1861, was
raised by the Southern Railway COM
pany after it had been required to pay
the county s22, $50 as an annual franchise
tax. This act provides that all foreign
corporations authorized to do business in
the state under the laws of Alabama
must pay an annual franchise tax The
railroad company claimed this was TN
constitutional as applied to it, claiming
It was an imroper discrimination between
a domestic and foreign corporation.
The city court of Birmingham, in which
the suit was brought by the railroad 10
recover the tax, gave a judgment against
the railroad and the supreme court of AL
ALBANIA in confirming that decision upheld
the constitution. The same decision was
given in the suit of the Louisville ana
Nashville Railroad company and other
railroads for the recovery of taxes paid
under the law. N

EXPECT INDICTMENTS ~
OF MANY MEAT PACKERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-When the Hud-
son county authoHties resumed their food
products investigation today in Jersey
indictments to include not only promi-
nent meat packers, but several men in.
terested in big cold storage enterprises,
would be presented to the grand jury,
with every prospects that numbers of
true bills would be returned.
Refrigeration methods now in common
use are the subject of attention in addi-
ton to the products said to be followed
by the packing concerns in holding back
supplies by agreement to affect prices,
a practice which led to a grand jury vote
last week looking to action against the
National Packing company.
No official announcement was expected
today regarding indictments, as the grand
jury does not meet again until We'd
nesday, but there was every sign at the
prosecutors office that the campaign for
suppression of alleged cold storage evils
was not tagging in the least
Work of the investigators was expect
ed to be assisted materially by the in
formation which Assistant Prosecutor
Vickers and DR.. G. E. McClough, micro
scopial exepert, presented following a
conference with DR.. Wiley and other Of
ficials of the federal department of agri-
culture Among other things the alleged
practice of taking meat and poultry from
the cold storage plants and returning the
products again for an additional period
If prices realized were not satisfactory,
was taken up today.

Sum to Faithful Dog in
Crowded Streets \

CORDELE, Ga, Feb. H.-Those inter-
ested in the higher virtues of the can
inc family will be interested perhaps to
learn that a dog has been actually in
trusted with a considerable sum of mon
ey to be conveyed from it's owner to
his wife, and the animal in this instance
as in many others has proved to be a
worthy and trusty servant.
Mr.. John Cain, of this city, owns a
large bird dog and yesterday Mr.. Cain
was down town and had the sum of $500
in bills which he wished to be taken to
his home several blocks up In the res
idence section of the city. He decided
to entrust the funds to his dog to be
delivered to his wife and wrapped the
money with a small rubber band and
gave it to the dog, telling the animal to
take the money home.
The dog took the roll of bills in his
mouth and went straight home and de-
livered the funds to Mr.. Gains wife with
out molestation Of any kind. 1t was
Saturday when the dog made the errand
and the streets of the town were crowded.

NEGRO DEPUTIES
FIRE ON CAIRO MOB;
| DEAD, 4 WOUNDED
Two Hundred Men StOrmed
Jail for Blacks Charged
With PurSe-SnatChing, but
Met With Sheriff'S Opposition
NEGRO'S PETTY CRIMES
CAUSED THE OUTBREAK

CAIRO. ILL.,. Feb. 1S.-Thirty militia
men, members of Company X, of this
city, this morning patrolled the sidewalk
in front CT the Alexander county court
house, where shortly before / a. m,
Alexander Halliday, leader of mob
attack on the jail. was shot TO death
by deputy sheriffs. several of whom are
negroes. Four other men. two of them
not members of the mob, were wounded.
Halliday, son of a former mayor OF
Cairo, lay for three hours dying beside
the court house steps, with the temper
allure a few degrees above zero. During
that entire time Sheriff Nellis. acting on
orders received . by telephone from Gov
ernor Deneen, refused to permit any one
to remove the wounded
The sheriff says he believed the man
was dead. Militiamen who removed his
body at 4 a. m, say it was warm, in
dicating that death had come but a
short time before.
DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The dead:
ALEXANDER HALLIDAY. S5-year-old
dairyman, son of former Mayor Thomas
w. Halliday, of Cairo; wounded in head
and body.
Samuel wessinger, former policeman,
wounded in head and shoulder; at st
Mary's infirmary.
John Malloney, brother-in-law of Mrs.
Rose Malloney, whose purse was snatch
ed by one of the negro prisoners sought
by the mob, slight wound on cheek.
Horton Crehan, wounded in ankle; had
stopped to see what the trouble was.
George B. Walker, the Associated Press
correspondent, wounded in the leg.
Eight of the deputy sheriffs whose shots
killed Halliday and wounded the other.
were negroes. This fact was not def
nitely known to the crowd which storm
a physician to enter the enclosure.
One of the bullets fired grazed the
sheriffs right hand, causing blister, but
did not break the skin. 1t was after this,
he said that his men fired directly into
the crowd.
The mob fell back to two saloons adj
joining the court house and jail and re-
manned until the saloons were closed,
shortly after 3 a. m, on an order OF
Mayor Parsons, caused by a message
from the governor at Springfield.
REUSED BY NEGRO'S CRIME.
When the men were turned out of the
saloon it was too cold to remain out
side. and another attack on the court
house was not ventured. The militia COM
pany, ordered by the governor at mid
night, did not succeed in assembling I'M
til a.. m, and at that hour the militia
relieved Nellis' deputies.
The mob attack was an outgrowth OF
public indignation over petty crimes by
negroes, particularly purse snatching and
annoyance to women. Mrs. Rose Malo-
ney's purse was snatched Wednesday
evening. She drew revolver and fired
at the negro. but he escaped with her
purse.

GEORGIA RAILROAD
PARTLY WINS OUT
IN TAXATION CASE
Supreme Court Justice Lurton
Holds Railroad Shall Pay
0ne-HaIf of One Per Cent on
Net Earnings
MAIN POINTS OF LOWER
COURT WERE SUSTAINED

According to information received Mon
day morning from Washington. the
Georgia Railroad and Banking company
today won partial victory over the
state of Georgia when the supreme court
of the United States affirmed the main
points in the opinion of the lower federal
court, holding that the railroad was re-
quired to pay only state tax Of one
half of l per cent Of the net earnings Of
its property and not property or fran
chise taxes.
The opinion was the first Justice Lur-
ton has rendered from the supreme court
bench. The only qualification of this
victory was modification of the decree
as to the Washington branch. As to
that branche the state won its conten-
ton.
COMPLICATED CONVENTIONS.
The state claimed first that the Geor-
gia railroad was required to pay taxes
on its entire property; that the exemption
was an exemption to the stockholders,
and not to the company. BY later con-
tention 1t claimed that whatever ex-
emption had been granted had expired by
lapse of time. It further contended IL
this was not so that the only exemption
the railroad had was an exemption on
"a, ,OUO worth OF property ana Inat al
valorem taxes must be paid on the ex-
cess value.
The counties of Washington and Wilkes
commended that whatever exemption the
Georgia railroad possessed, this exemp-
ton did not cover the Washington
branch, running from Barnett to WASH
ington. The state also commended that
the franchise of the company was not
covered by its tax exemption, and that
whatever the franchise was worth had 70
pay taxes under the act of 1902.
The railroad company contended that
it's exemption covered all of its property
and franchises pertaining to its railroad;
that it was only liable to pay as to these
a tax of one-half of 1 per cent, on its
net earnings; that the only property up
on which it was taxable was the prop
erty not pertaining to its railroads. and
the amount of $4,000 of the railroad
value which represented what was
known as the Clayton branch. stock, as.
to which it had no exemption.
1t also claimed that the Washington
branch was covered by it's exemption,
and that all of its franchises we're so
covered. The decision sustains the con-
| tention of the railroads except as TO the
| Washington branch. This branch was
not a part Of the original Georgia rail-
road, but was acquired about 1852 by a
consolidation with the old Washington
railroad.

behold the landaulet a total wreck.
fastening back TO the scene they
found the two ladies lying unconscious
on the ground under the wreckage, and
the chauffeur also pinned to earth.
Quickly as possible they were eXtricat-
ed. Just at this moment Forrest Adair
came by in his car and took Miss Flor
ence Taylor and the lad, Harold. to the
John T. Taylor home on Copenhill ave-
nue.. Meanwhile the injured ladies were
placed in the front car, an e. NJ. F. 30
tourer, and driven to the residence OF
Miss Nettie Cochrane, some distance
away.
There they remained until about 7
o'clock. Physicians and nurses were
summoned, and their injuries were given
prompt attention. Mrs. William Taylor's
arms were frightfully torn and LAGER
ated, and she was bruised and cut about
the head and face and her back was
sprained. Mrs. John Taylor sustained
severe bruises and cuts about the head
and face.
Inquiry ar the Taylor residence Mon
day morning revealed the fact that first
accounts of the ladies' injuries were
considerably exaggerated, and it now
appears that both have a good chance 10
