FIRST RAILROAD
TAX BILL IS In
Measure Would Increase Dela-
ware Railroad Share
$4,000 a Year

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Jan. 13.-The first
legislation Of an anti-railroad nature
has come up i'm the House of Repre-
sentatives in the form of notice of a
bill in the hands of the former speaker
of the House of Representatives DR.
T. o. Cooper of Wilmington. It is the
bill advocated by the Revenue Com
mission.
The bill increases the annual pay
ment from the Delaware Railroad
Company $4,000, making the company
pay a lump sum of $4,000 in com
mutation of all State taxes" which
means the per capita and per ton tax
alton that was long agaO ruled out
as cumbersome and not satisfactory.
Nearly every Legislature has had
before it bills increasing the payment
on the part Of the Delaware Railroad
Company to the State. This always
brought about a battle royal through
out the session between the railroad
lobbyists and the legislators.
The company now operates a total
track mileage OF 24615, of which
more than half is in this State. and
over It is carried, chiefly through the
nights, great trains of Southern
freight, much of which is the South
ern connections perishable freight
garden produce and fruits, as well as
the products Of the great lumber in
dustries of the South.
For awhile the company only paid
the State $4,000 year, while for a
short strip of track through the north
ern end of the State another company
paid $4,000. An effort was made to
get the Delaware Railroads State tax
up to $4,000, but this always failed

thus increased more than two-fold on
its most important staple crop.
While, as It is shown, twenty BUSH
els to the acre formed the average
Yield. things are quite different since
the State put its agricultural authori-
ties at work. among the farmers to in
crease this.
The ten-year average from 1895 to
1905 was twenty-six and eight-tenths
bushels to the acre. A big jump
an the scales of progress, this.
From 1905 to 1910. the average was
thirty-one and four-tenths bushels to
the acre. In 1908, it reached thirty
two bushels.
In consideration of this calculation,
too. it must be taken into account that
In 1909 severe drouth struck the
corn in this State. Even then, if the
farmers had followed the scientific in
structors employed by the State, and
kept turning, lightly, the SOIL so that
the dews would have got into the
parched stalks and roots, there would
have been only a slight falling-off In
1910, there was also an unfavOrable
season. but many growers had mast
cred the art of meeting weather
emergencies and the yield was held
to 31.S bushels.
For many years. the area planted
in corn has amounted to about 200-
600 acres per year. Under improved
conditions. more land, now yielding
little should be planted in corn.
Calculating on the basis of 100000
acres, it will be seen that during the
last fifteen years. Delaware's corn
crop has grown from 100000 bushels
annually to 100000.
il isnow the belief of the authori-
ties here that the yield can be in
creased to 100000 bushels annu-
ally, and within the next few years at

GARDENS AssA1LANr TO PRISON
Negro Who Shot Police Sergeant
Pleads Guilty.

Jesse Robinson, alias Fred Jackson,
who shot Police Sergeant Dan Garden
four weeks ago, when the officer at
tempted to arrest him, was, sentenced
to the penitentiary this morning by
Judge A. w. Dana. His term will be
from one to five years.
The sentence was imposed when the
negro entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of shooting with intent to kill
He had a eew moments earlier waived
his preliminary hearing and decided to
get time on his term as soon as pos
sible.
Robinson made his escape after
shooting the officer, although almost
the whole police force and the sheriff S
force were looking for him. His es-
cape was said to be due to the assist
ance of sort of underground trans
portation furnished by negro criminals.
He was captured month later in
O1athe. At Kansas City when Deputy
Sheriff Judkins was bringing him back.
he turned on the officer and had to be
knocked down to be Suhdued. Since
then he has been meek enough.
At the time his arrest was attempt
ed he was wanted for an assault upon
a negro woman named Smith, whom
he had beaten into insensibility. Upon
his plea of guilty to shooting Dan Car
den, County Attorney Simon dismissed
his charge for the assault upon the
woman.
The prisoner was escorted to and
from the county Jail in handouts. Two
officers accompanied him with their
gums ready. They said they were in
no mood to trifie with him.

GOVERNOR CALLS ENOUGH
Colquitt Says Texas Has Too Much
Anti-Railroad Legislation.

Galveston, Tex, Feb. s.-Governor
Colquitt, who came from the railroad
commission to the executive mansion,
believes there is entirely too much anti
railroad legislation on the statute books
Of Texas. and he protests against any
more new laws on this line. He says
Texas owes much to the railroads for
development of its resources and es-
tablishment of enterprises and reminds
the legislature that the railroads are
ready and willing to do more, if per-
mitted to earn reasonable interest on
their investments.
The new governor declares that the
railroad laws to be adopted, if any new
ones are to be passed by this legisla-
ture, must be favorable to the railroads.
or they will be vetoed. He says, how
ever, there is no need of any new laws,
and some of the laws presumed to be
safeguarding the public against the
railroads might be repealed and Texas
would be better off. He says he firmly
advocates regulation of the railroads
but not conf1scation.

THE Dollar Princess the first
Charles Frohman production pre-
scented in Topeka this season, was the
attraction at the Grand last night. A
good sized audience was in attendance
and a musical show that was diffeH
ent was seen. The company was the
largest seen here for many months.
Though billed as a musical comedy,
The Dollar Princess" was more of
an operetta, one of those English bills
that have pleased in the larger cities
but which do not appeal strongly to
the theatrical taste. of Topekans. AS
one Topeka man expressed his opin-
ion: 1T was half baked grand

call "whistleable,' was pleasing. MY

of the piece. It was sung by Franklin

Miss Darlington bears the distinc-
ton of being the only leading woman
On record, who after establishing her
self as such, voluntarily went back to
the position of chorus girl It was
while rehearsing in 4'rhe Dollar Prin-

that chorus girl friend was taken i'll
She told Miss Darlington her tale of
Woe and enlisted the sympathy of the
actress.
Then Miss Darlington decided upon
a plan. She was to report to the stage
manager telling him that she was the
sick girls sister and that they were
| in dire financial straights, then ask
him to allow her to substitute for the
| sister. The scheme worked and for
three nights the former leading wo-
man was in the fourth row of the
chorus. On the fourth night friend
! seated in the box discovered who she
was and told the manager of the com
pany. He questioned Miss Darlington
and she confessed. When he heard
the story he agreed to hold the place
open for the sick girl and give her
salary for every performance she
missed.
