that if the court found it was available
he would start trying criminal cases

man now confined in Jail was given a
hearing. Taxes for the coming year
will be available July and Immediate
ly thereafter there will be a setting of

WILL PROTECT
NEWSPAPER men

Milwaukee, Wis, May 90,-A ques-
tion involving newspaper men and the
inviolability of confidence bestowed
in a newspaper man has been definite
ly settled in Milwaukee, when a local
circuit Judge announced that he would
refuse to require a reporter to testify
as to the source of his information in
regard to news article that he wrote.
The case centered about the selec-
tion of property for county use A
local paper sent DR.. A. T. Alternately,
former assistant editor of the Phila-
delphia Record, and a brother of Cap
tain Jack, of rough rider fame, to in
vestigate the situation.
His review caused Attorney Henry
]. Killilea, former owner of the Boston
American Baseball Club, to demand
that DR. Alternately testify as to the
source of his information Judge Tur-
ner told Attorney Killilea that news
paper man would not be forced to dis
close his informant's identity.

Device For Recording Speed.

The Frisco having tested device
for recording the speed on locomo-
tives by using it on twenty-five pas
.senger engines, has found results SO
satisfactory that the forty new pas
.senger engines which have been pur-
chased will all be equipped with these
recorders.
w. C. Nixon, vice president of the
Frisco, states that it is the intention
of the company to equip every main
line engine with this device, by which
the engineer can determine exactly
the speed at which he is running, and
which also leaves a record behind,
which can be checked up as a guard
against running at too high a rate of
speed.

NOTED AERIAL CONQUEROR
SUCCUMBS TO TYPHOID

Dayton, o., May 91.-While definite
arrangements for the funeral of Wilbur
Wright has not been made it is prob
able it will take place Saturday after
noon with interment here.
The dread typhoid claimed the inven-
tor suddenly at 1915 o'clock yesterday
morning. Dissolution came quietly
and with out a struggle in the still
hours of the early morning, with the
distinguished patient attended by his
venerable father. For approximately
two weeks the patient has been uncon-
scious.
The death of Wilbur Wright will not
affect the local company, it is declared
his stock probably will be divided
among members of his family, and
Orville will continue in active charge
of affairs.
Taken Ill with typhoid fever several
weeks ago, Wright had been lingering
on the border for many days, and
though his condition from time to time
gave some hopes to members of his
family, the attending physicians main
tanned throughout the latter part of
his illness that he could not recover.
AS death approached, all members
of his family gathered at the bedside,
including his aged father, Bishop Mil
ton Wright, Miss Katherine Wright
Orville, the co-inventor of the aero
plane, Reuchlin Wright and Lorin
Wright.

FILES A MOTION
FOR REHEAR|NG
Decision Given Against McNeal, Who
Appealed From the State Board of
Equalization's Action.

Oklahoma City, May 30.--Motion for
rehearing was filed in the supreme
court by C. G. Horner, an attorney of
Guthrie, in the case of ]. w. McNeal,
republican nominee for governor in the
last state election, which was an ap-
peal from the state board of equaliza-
ton, and recently decided adversely to
McNeal. The suit questioned the state
boards authority to do more than
equalize the valuations as returned by
the county boards, whereas the board
advanced >the total of the county
boards return. The supreme court in
an opinion by Justice Dunn held that
the board possessed such authority.
Justice Williams dissented.
Attorney Horner tells the court that
il overlooked many of the points set
ou in he plaintiffs brief. Discussing
the practice permitted by the statute,
the motion says that it is a vain thing
to prohibit the township board from
increasing an assessment except with
five days notice, and then permit the
state board to double it without any
notice. Such a proceeding, it says, is
a mere batting of the taxpayer and
sooner or later will bring the law into
disrepute. The motion adds: "The
recall of decisions makes the greatest
progress when the people know they
suffer and see no reasonable method
of escape. 1t is the preface of reyolu-
tion.
AS to the extent of appeals which
may be from one board to another, and
finally to the supreme court, the mo-
tion says: The right of appeal from
the state board is given in those in
stances where it exercises an original
assessorial function; otherwise, We
are confronted with the proposition
that every citizen must watch and
wait and pray before he has a right
to appeal from the state board to the
supreme court. This cumbersome pro-
cedure would result in multiplicity
of proceedings that would swamp the
supreme court; particularly being
dangerous since no taxes can be col
lected pending an appeal. 1t would
thus be possible for the entire revenues
of the state to be tied up, and very
probable that a large portion of the
revenue could be tied up by heavy
taxpayers to whom the appeal would
give a long delay without interest
while the appeal is being determined
upon it's merits. When would the last
appeal be reached?
I'VE are impressed with the idea
that the court has not had in mind all
of the statutes and decisions, and es-
pecially those of a controlling char
acter. The situation palpably is SER
ious one, and it is all the more reason
why the conclusions finally announced
should be in harmony with the law"
