TO TAKE ACTION
At NEXT MEETING
NEW TOWN RESIDENTS, NORTH
OF M STREET, MAY SOON
HAVE CONNECTIONS.
WORK WILL COST $500
OF This Amount $500 is for Labor
and This Can Probably Be Saved by
Obtaining County Convict Gang to
Do the Work.
WORK WILL COST $500

A resolution will be introduced at
the next meeting of city council pro-
viding for an extension of rhe sewer
age system in New Town, and it is
wore than probable that it will be
passed, as a number of the m-.:,yers
of eouHc41 have already expressed
themselves as being in favor of it.
II this improvement is made it will
be one Of the greatest steps forward
made by the city council in a number
of years, and will prove a great bene-
ut to the people in the section IN
which it Is intended to extend the sys-
TEN.
At present people living beyond M
street are out of the sewerage dis
trict and consequently cannot get the
benefit OF this great advantage. The
resolution to be introduced at the next
meeting of council will provide ror an
extension of the system from M to r
street covering distance of some
fourier Ave blocks. This. will. take in
. total OF about 155 houses which at
present havesno sewer connections
and it will not only prove a great con.
venience to them, but will, to a great
extent, improve health conditions in
the territory mentioned. i.'t'
City Engineer Zachry has prepared
estimates as to the work and it is
thought that the extension can be
made for approximately $500, includ
ing labor, pipes and various other ma
terial to be used. Included in this
amount is $4,000 for labor. 1t is the
intention of council to petition the
county commissioners for the convict
gang to be used in this work; in, fact,
Mayor Hopkins will appear before the
board at its, next meeting and make 8
request for convicts. If the request is
granted, and in all probability it will
be, then the work can be done for $4.
00J. AS the convicts are gwen to the
city for limited period each year it
is believed that they can be secured
for this work without difficulty.
In the event the commissioners
grant the request at their next meet
ing and the resolution is passed by
council later this month, then the
work on the extension will begin as
early in January as possible and il
will be entirely completed before the
not weather sets in
Mayor Hopkins, in discussing the
subject last night stated that the ex
tension of the system in New Town
was an Improvement greatly needed
and that he hoped to see the resolu
tion passed by council and the work
started early in the coming year.

FlR& COMPLETELY
DESTROYS LITTLE
LAUNCH EDITH
LANTERN OVERTURNED, IGNlT-
ING GASOLINE, AND BOAT WAS
SOON DESTROYED ON CUMBER-
LAND BEACH.

The gasoline launch Edith, owned
by c. F. Wilder, the we'll known fish
and oyster dealer, was yesterday morn
Ing totally destroyed by fire on Cum
berland island, where MIR Wilder, to-
gether with a number of fishermen
mad gone ashore to endeavor to make
repairs on the launch.
When near Cumberland yesterday
morning the rudder of the Edith was
lost, A rather rough sea was prevail
ing and Mr.. Wilder, with the assist
ance of others aboard the launch
succeeded in reaching Cumberland
beach. The launch was placed on the
eeach and an effort was being made
to equip the boat with a rudder in or
der to return to the city.
In some way u lighted lantern
aboard the launclM was overturned,
gasoline, which had soaked into the
bottom of the boat soon ignited, and
before the flames could be extinguish-
ed they reached the gasoline tank,
containing 110 gallons of gasoline,
which caused an explosion and in less
time than it takes to relate it, tke lit
tie boat had been entirely destroyed
The party made a hard effort to ex.
tinguish the blaze but failed, so rapid
ly did the fire burn. They then pro.
eeeded to the G G.-lheriand dock and
returned to the city on the steamer
Emmeline last night.
The Edith was 35 feet in length an
was built in the city several years age
Recently she was purchased by Mr.
Wilder and has since then been engag
ed in the fish and oyster business
! The loss is partly covered by insur
ance.

JUDGE LANDS RULES THAT HE

THE CASE.
GOES TO U. S. SUPREME COURT
Constitutionality of New Measure Will

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE suit to test
the federal income tax law was thrown

by Judge Lands, who decided that he

The effect of this decision, which
does not involve the constitutionality
o" unconstitutlonality Of the law, is to
send the case direct to the supreme
court of the United States.
The medium selected for the test is
a suit at law in which Elsie DeWolfe

now Iesident at Versailles, France, is
piaintiff and the Continental and Com.

certificate of ownership which the
o&nk contends is required by the in

due and damages in the sum of 81 600
In the presentation of his case Atty
! Cochran asserted that the law taxes
lonly 423,000 palsons out of popula
ton of 9O,DO0,OOO, which tax, he said
was imposed on them without theil
consent by the untaXed remainder OF
the population. ysysf84 ..a,t;... ,a...,
Even if congress has the right to
impose this tax, the lawyer said, it was
/ graded according to incomes with such
gross Inequalities as to violate the cor
stltution.
Income $4,000 Year.
His CLIENTS income, he said, was
more than $4,000 year, en- which
she is taxed l per cent on all in excess
OF $4,000, and an additional tax of ]
per cent on all above $4,000. He as
serted that if this ratio were equita
bly, pursued the income from the tax
would be $750,000,000, sum practi
cally sufficient to defray all govern
ment expenditure. By it's present in
equalites, he added, the income would
not be much more than $4,000.
| Atty. Cochran insisted that if all in
comes were taxed in the same ratio as
that of the plaintiff, incomes OF more
than $250,000 would be subject to @
penalty of 10 per cent instead of the
present per cent; those of $500,00(
OF more to penalty of 20 per CEN
instead of g.; incomes of million
would be penalized 40 per cent instead
of Z. A man with an income of 81,

there were several in the country
would be assessed 100 per cent, or in
other words would have to pay al
income in excess of $2,500,0OO into
the government treasury.
Thus, he argued, his client was moi
granted the equal protection OF the
law guaranteed by the 14th amend
ment to the constitution.
Mr. Mayer stated the position OF the
bank was that the law is constitution
al. In his demurrer fled yesterday he
further contended that the bonds con

when you met Neary?" asked Charlie Turney of Packey-
 Now you are going back a little. said Packey, ssbut to tell you the truth, few people really believed that we did fight on winner take all basis. The fact is I had beaten Maurice Savers a short time previously, but the Ger mans, while they liked and backed Savers, did not think. he stood ace high with their pride, Neary, and there was much talk about our meeting. The papers took it up and then they tried to show, that is, some of them, that was afraid of the Milwaukee light weight. It kind of got on my yNnerves and the more they talked about it, the more sore I got, until finally they came out with a bluff about Neary wanting to fight winner take all learned afterwards that Charlie hao never made such a statement but that his manager had done so to try and make me accept. We'll, put the buck right back to them and came out with a statement that I would meet him winner take all and no other way The Badger Athletic club put up pig purse for the match and 1t was made, and believe me it was winner take all T always felt confident, could beat Weary in a f0-round bout on clever ness alone. and I surely did so that night there being no room for argu- ment when we got through really felt sorry for Charlie afterwards to think that he should work so hard and not get a cent for his trouble, but 1t was all in the game and he took h1s chance the same as I did But you can take my word and gamble all you have that 1t was on winner take all basis- but the only one ever engag- ed in on such terms And I will Say, too, that Charlie Weary was great little fighter, but he might have been better handled"
 Packey's appearance showed hlrn 10 he in excellent condition, even though he has not trained for some time, but he looked to be well over the 14O- pound mark. He intends to visit with friends on Eagle lake in northern Wis consin for a few weeks, after which he will return home, and if there is chance for a battle with Willie Ritch- ie for the title he will grab it.

 The letter continues:

AUSTRALIAN TENNIS
 STARS ARRIVE IN U. 5.

Stanley N. Doust, who is to act as captain of the Australian lawn tennis team in the tie with the United States for the Davis Cup, arrived from Eng land to-day. The other members of the team-FIorace Rice, A. B. Jones and E. W. Hicks, the manager-win probably reach New York from the West on Thursday.
 Robert D. Wrenn, chairman of the international committee, wishes to cor rect the impression that the American trials that are now going on are real ly elimination contests.
 .sIt is still early in the season for our men here in the East says MT. Wrenn, "and with the best of them just starting their game the matches they. are playing do not reveal their true form.
 while the results of these compe titions must be taken into considera- tion, the committee in its selection of the team must necessarily be gov erned by the respective ratings which the players earned last year.
 It is pointed out that Harkett and Little defeated Pe1 and Leonard and Behr and Inran at Greenwich on Sun day, although on the previous after- noon they succumbed to Pen and Touchard on the West Side courts.

TOMMY MURPHY GETS
 MANY CHALLENGES NOW

With the approach of warm weather the usual summer slump has come ov- CT boxing and for a time bouts of es- peciaI prominence may be rather scarce There is plenty of good ma teriaI. particularly in the lightweight division. but while the baseball fever is at it's height the promoters are loath to offer suitable purses.
 Just at present Tommy Murphy is being made the target for many claI- lenges- AIurphy's decision not to box in New York Is not pleasing the rest of the lightweight brigade, many of whom seek a bout with the conqueror of Ad WoIgast-a fine chance to ob- tain 1aurels without much risk
 Joe Rivers, the Mexican, still re- mains inactive, flaming a very exalted opinion of his worth A Rivers-Shu- Erue or Rivers-Webb match would be a good card, but the Mexican is not anxious to meet either

Young Shugrue bordered on the sen sational. has turned his attention to challenging LeachJ Cross and Tommy Murphy He will probably be given the chance to meet Cross before long.
