Nick turned the knob on the

that and did everything he knew
(Which wasn't much, to tell the
truth), but it was of 40 use.
"Oh, I know what to do" cried
Nancy all at once. Don't you re-

to say the magic words the Green
Wizard told us. I'll say them now.
So she began:

ISSUE IN STREET
CAR FARE FIGHT

J. B. Richards. :, city> attorney,
yesterday started tile work of
drafting an answer to- the bill of COM
plant of the street car company in
the suit brough in fedefal court to
show that the rate of &fare allowed
by the railroad and warehouse com.
mission for Duluth is confiscatory
and in violation of the federal Con-
stitution.
The interloocutory Injunction grant
ing flat 6-cent fare, as issued by
three judges en- banc in federal court,
was granted. pending the outcome of
that court as soon as the issues are
framed, Mr.. Richards said.
Claims to He Made by City.
The work started by Mr.. Richards
includes claims as to valuation, the
probable revenues and the commits
sion's claim as to the rate of return
on the property. 1.-The federal court
does not assume jurisdiction in order
to establish rates." Mr.. Richards said.
THAT is not it's purpose at all. It
simply decides if the rate is confis-
catory under the federal Constitu-
ton. IT it finds out it is not, it will
dismiss the plaintiffs case. I claim
that the rates of the commission are
HOI OIllSCdlOIy wien the company
is getting revenue equal to 6 per cent

The commission held that the car
company was making 5h per cent on
the valuation fixed by the commits
sion with the old fare tickets for
IS cents With the federal judges
raise of fare to the flat scent fare,
the street railway company is receiv-
ing 7h per cent return, Mr.. Rich
ards said.
THE city never agreed to the COM
| missions appraisal of $4,599,0O0 as the
| value of the street railway property,
but on the other hand, it does not
| admit that the value is really more
than $3,S)0.0O0," he continued. 1.-The
company earned the net sum Of 1884,
600 last year, the commission found,
and they will very likely do the same
this year.
"They have no business in federal
court unless they can. prove that the
! fare and rate of return allowed is
confiscatory, and they will be auto
matically ruled out Of court if they
cannot prove it isl
