PARTIAL VICTORY FOR
THE WESTERN UNION
Court of Appeals Reverses
and Remands the Case
Against City of Troy

Montgomery. February 6-(Special.)-
The court of appeals this afternoon re-
versed and remanded the case of the
Western Union Telegraph company
against the city of Troy, growing out
of a suit to recover license tax OF 500
paid by the company for the privilege
of doing business in the city. The case
was up on its second appeal, having
been formerly reversed by the supreme
court
The action was brought by the tele-
graph company to test the authority of
the city to levy the tax, the company
maintaining that the tax was unreason-
able, and that the company was an
agent of the government because of its,
acceptance of an act of noCgress of
July "a. 1885,
The opinion in the case was written
by Chief Justice Walker. who quoted
at length from the opinion of Mr.. JUS
tlee Day of the United States supreme
court, in the case of Williams against
the city of Talladega, involving some
identical questions as those contained
in the Troy case.
The decision is considered OF wide pub
lie interest in the state and affects
probably every municipality in Alabama.
The chief question at issue in the Troy
case was whether or not the ordinance
imposing the tax was valid the court
holding that the ordinance was void be-
cause of its effect upon intrastate busi-
ness, therefore infringing upon certain
federal rights.

MAY RAISE FIRST
STEEL TOMORROW
Derrick Is in Place and
Ready for Work on the
ROden Hotel Site

1t was understood yesteFda3' that the
first steel pillar Of the Boden $l0eo,00G
hotel will be raised tomorrow AFTERNOON.
The contracting firm of John 4. Muiin
has now erected on the site the derrick
for the steel work.
A slight delay was caused on account
of the absence from the city of l. S.
Beatty OF the Roden Hotel company.
whose presence was desired before the
first pillar was placed Mr.. Beatty re-
turned yesterday from Panama While
he would not say last night officially
what Is to be the programme 1t is be-
lleved some slight formailites will mark
the beginning of steel erection 1t is
understood that friends of Mr.. Beatty
have importuned him to arrange for the
breaking of a bottle, of champagne on
the first post. They may be arranged.
Mrs. Beatty was Miss Maybelle Rodell
and the site utilized is the former Roden
home place. 1t has been suggested that
it would be very appropriate for Mrs.
Beatty to cast the champagne upon the
first pillar. Mr. Beatty said last nigth
that he could not say just at this time
what form the raising OF the first beam
would take so far as formalities are con-
cerned.
The construction OF the Roden hotel
when the steel work starts will be push-
ed forward rapidly. 1t Is stated that
r. w. Mark who has the general contract
will place his forces to work when halr
the steel has been placed. A rapid coin-
petion of the work is the ambition OF
those interested.
