Senator JudSon's
 New Haven Visit
 Sets Elm Thinking

New Haven, May 23-The arrival of Senator Stiles Judson, the chairman of the legislative committee on Judiciary and several other committees at Hart ford. in an automobile at the yellow building yesterday morning, and his being closeted with the powers that be up stairs, for some time, led to all sorts of speculation as to the object of the visit.
 It was suggested that the Bridge port lawyer was here for consultation with President Mellen on the public utilities bill, because this is the mat ter which is expected to attract the solons at Hartford this week.
 However it was finally learned at the yellow building that Senator JudsOn did not arrive there until after President Meilen had departed for the day. He came, however. with a com mittee from Stratford to interview Calvert Townley, the vice president of the Connecticut Company, with refer ence to the establishing of a new street in Stratford, leading from Stratford center to the Washington bridge which spans the Housatonic river between New Haven and Fair field counties-this street to parallel the present Broadway on the north side, so as to get the trolley tracks out of that thoroughfare, and to en- able the railroad to put in the double trolley tracks it wants

INSANE MAN SUED FOR BOARD

Attorneys for the government
have instituted suit in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia
to recover $4,000 from Frank
Healy. an inmate Of the Govern
ment Hospital For the Insane, for
935 weeks board at the rate of
$4.25 week.
Healy was adjudged insane and
sent to the asylum in 1893. He
was without funds and has been
cared for at public expense since
that time. Last Christmas his
brother died and left him $780,
600. He Immediately applied to
the local courts to release him from
the asylum on the ground that he
had been cured. He lost his suit
Jan. 10.
Healy intends to fight the gov
ernment's case. He says it's bad
enough to be locked up in an in
sane asylum when he might be
joying his legacy. but to make him
pay for staying there is beyond all
human endurance.

CARSON'S BAD EXAMPLE

When the incorporation of the
town was being agitatcd. the
opponents of Incorporation held up
Carson City as an example of what
incorporation would do for Elko.
The claim being that the city taxes
were bankrupting the people of
Carson. A few days ago the News
stated that Carson's rate of taxa
ton this year is SIS on the 500
valuation, the city's rate being 10
cents on the 500. Elko's rate
this year for town purposes alone
is rs cents on the 500. Elko,
therefore, under the town govern.
ment act, has a higher rate Of
taxation than Carson City which
has city government.
The example Of Carson is not so
bad as the opponents Of incorpora-
ton made IL appear. The fact Is,
that Carson is better governed
than Elko and at less rate Of tax
alton than Elko will pay this year.
Carson's example might be profit
abely followed by Elko.

today it is q veritable flower
garden. What an example AMI
what wonderful encouragement
for those who are at the
present time giving their life's
efforts to make of Southern Ne
vada a prosperous agricultural
country. Water is solely respons-
ible for the amost miracle in the
state Of California; it will do as
much for this section of Nevada.
Where now we see but mile upon
mile of desert, in but few short
years, through the perseverance Of
those now at work, we will see
rich fields of grain. The sage
brush will shortly he replaced by
the flower garden and the great

ity to suggest that the treasury could

NO TAXING OF POSTAL SAVINGS.

We see that. following the footsteps
of the silly opinion rendered by the
Attorney General of the State of New
York, there is move here to try to
levy taxation upon deposits in postal
savings banks. In New York, deposits
in the States savings banks are ex-
empted from taxation; but ii was the
sapient opinion OF the Attorney-Ge
eral of New York that the postal saw.
ing deposits could be reached by
State taxation. In considering this
opinion of his, The Tribune a few
days ago pointed out the impossibility
of enforcing any such taxation, and the
foolishness of underta aking it; this aside
from the bad quality of the opinion il.
self as law exposition The courts
undoubtedly would demoIish that opin.
ion instanter on It's being presented for
judgment.
IL is now moved here, it appears, to
have an opinion from Attorney. Gen.
eral Barnes. hoping that this opinion
may he the same as that Of the At
torney-General of New York. But we
notice that Postmaster Thomas OF this
city has put such damper upon the
whole proposition as must practically
be a quietus Mr., Thomas presents
paragraph Of the postal regulations
relating TO postal savings banks, which
absolutely secures privacy of accounts
IL forbids any one connected with the
postoffice department or the postal
service to disclose the name of any de
positor, or to give any information con.
corning his account, except TO the de
positor himself, unless directed to do
so by the Postmaster General. So ia,
from the Postmaster General directing
the giving out of any information fol
the purpose of having these deposit:
taxed. il is absolutely certain that he
would decline to give any such order
and would officially support the regu
lations making secrecy obligatory upor
all postal employees
Back of all that, however, is the prop
osition that the money is in the hands
! of the United States as custodian. II
might just as we'll be argued that the
State Of New York. OF some other tax
ing entity, could tax the hundreds OF
