Commissioners without Power

A decision of much importance on
tax adjustments has just been rendered
in the circuit court at Deadwood by
Judge w. c. Rice, holding in effect
that the county commissioners did not
possess the power to review the assess
ments of the state board of equaliza-
ton except where the property was
assessed over its true and real actual
value, as shown by the petition. The
action was brought on an alternative
writ of mandamus sought by the First
National bank of Deadwood for the
owners of bank stock. Their petition
of forth that the assessment of bank
stock was raised go per cent by the
state board of equalization and the
county commissioners refused to review
this finding on the opinion Of the states
attorney.

WIRELESS MANS
LUXUR|ES COSTLY

NEW YORK. May 24.-Colonel Chris
TOPPER Columbus Wilson, convicted of
swindling buyers of United Wireless Tel
egraph Company stock, yesterday testi-
fed at the bankruptcy hearing before
Commissioner Alexander that his ex-
penditures between January /, 1907, and
May %, 1911, aggregated $1.024, 300. That
figure is the total of a large number of
items in a memorandum submitted by
Wilson In support of his previous as
sertion that his present wealth consists
of a watch and a pair of cuff buttons.
1t indicates an average expenditure for
the four years Inc v months of almost
$40, 900 a month.
Probably the most interesting Item
on the list is that of $9Oo,00 O which the
convicted fnancier said went for Giving
expenses, including yacht, automobiles,
hotels and trips to England and the
Pacific coast with family" That repre-
sents an average expenditure of almost
81 900 a month for those Injuries and
trips, and indicates, II the rest of Will
sons testimony is true, >that he used
one-hfth of all the money he had avai
able for the personal wants of his family
and himself.

ued the senator, land reduced to ashes,

sive time.
Theodore Roosevelt will be held more
accountable than any man now alive for

based on rock-bottom facts of the i'm
mense increase of trusts during Roose

took twelve men from the gas house
and hen went yer the Jackson street
bridge into Harrison.
Three mounted policemen and two
patrolmen under Sergeant Bailey were
stationed as a guard at the bridge.
The strikers went through Harrison,
followed by Chief of Police Michael Rod
gers and his men, and then, after making
several laborers lay down their picks and
shovels returned to Newark.
At a meeting of the various contractors
of Newark and other parts of Essex
county yesterday afternoon, a statement
was prepared, in which they claim they
are not at odds with any of their work
men, other thar that agitated by outside
forces. They also claim that most of the
men were forced to quit work owing to
the threats made by others than work
men.
Under existing conditions the c~ontrac.
tors see no subject uponu which to arbi-
trate. They assure those for whom they
have Jobs to finish that the work will be
carried out, and will be completed as
per contract.
The contractors who met yesterday EN-
ploy between So and 30 per cent. OF the
labor. The following statement was given
out by G.. w. Porter, whose Offices are in
the Firemen's building:
There are no differences between our
men and ourselves except those Gre
ated by labor agitators, who are not
themselves laborers, but saloon-keepers,

BARRIERS n volunteer arbitrators. Our
memn were satisfied with their jobs
and would have kept on working had
they been left alone.
Some of them worked up to a point
where they fell IN with the others, but
most of them were forced through
threats Of personal violence or injury
to their families to stop work. In
many cases physical force was used to
make them Join the union. They were
stopped In the public streets and AIKEN
to the union headquarters n practi-
cal1y made prisoners.
Under such circumstance we consider
that there is no issue which should be
the subject of arbitration. unless 1t
has come to such a pass that lawless-
ness IS to be arbitrated.
As to completing Jobs we have on hand
we are going to start work the first
part Of next week. We will take back
our old men IL they will come back
under the conditions which prevailed be-
fore they quit. If they will not we are
prepared to complete all Jobs in which
we are interested with our men who have
stood by us and with men from outside
Of the city. We can get plenty of men
at old wages, and inasfuch as we esti-
mated on these jobs at the old rate OF
wages, 1t would be manifestly unfair to
US to be compelled to pay 30 or 40 pei
cent. more for labor, which Is a large
part of the cost of the york. In fact, II
would be impossible for us to complete
the Jobs now on hand and accede to the
demands made without a large outlay In
excess of the profits on these jobs.
