BAILROAD
TAXATION
THE TAX COMMISSION'S
SECOND THOUGHT '
CHANGES IT.
THE TAXES ARE INCREASED BY
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS AT LAST.
THE GOVERNOR PLEASED OVER
THE RESULT OF THE WORK
AS FINALLY DONE.
Same Rate Applied.
The corrected railroad tax assess
ment was completed by tho state tax
commission shortly before midnight
Thursday after forty-eight hours of
hard work on the part of the conimls
tsioners. While the assessment has not
been Increased, the board has prac
tically ignored the Galbralth law per
mitting an equalization between the
general properties and the railroads,
and has nxed the rate at the amount
termined was the average rate levied
on the general properties of the state,
which it has been ascertained and de
termined vas the average rate levied
on the general properties of the state,
thus increasing the railroad taxes half
a million dollars.
The total tax assessed against the
railroads on the tentative assessment
of January 15 was $3,026,000.
Under the present assessment the
tax to be paid is $3,5S4,021.43.
The rate that is now applied Is
$17.40, that being the rate which gen
eral properties of the state paid last
year.
Apparently the board of state asses
sors maintained the values at which
the railroads were assessed, making
only such changes as tho Information
which was obtained on review seemed
to justify. A few of the railroads made
showings which seemed to entitle them
to a reduction of their assessments,
among them being the Wabash and
some of the smaller lines found by
Profs. Cooley and Adams to be over
assessed. It will be seen that by the applica
tion of the rate of taxation found to
have been paid on the general prop
erties last year the railroads will be
taxed approximately $300,000 more
than It was proposed to levy under the
Galbralth law.
The present assessment, therefore,
wipes out the $300,000 reduction in the
roads' taxes provided for by the orig
inal assessment and adds $200,000
more to the total.
The governor made the following
ftatement regarding the assessment:
"The railroads will pay under this as
sessment $."00,000 more taxes than
they would have paid under the figures
first given out by the tax commission,
ind $200,000 more than they paid last
year. The railroads will now be as
sessed at over one-eighth of the valu
ation of all the other property of the
state a3 fixed by the local assessors.
This, I believe, to be a fair ratio, and
it certainly will be accepted as such
by the people of the state. This action
of the tax commission places the rail
roads on practically the same basis as
the general properties of the state for
assessing purposes. I do not believe
that anyone will attempt to maintain
that all the property of the state not
owned by railroads is assessed at its
actual cash value, nor do I believe this
to be true of the railroad property un
der the present assessment, but, as I
stated before, I consider the ratio now
established between the two to be
practically a fair one."

Gould showed no emotion when ar

officer started to lead him to a cell he
threw up his hands and toppled over.
Letters written by him a few days

THE SHIP
SUBSIDY
THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
PASSES THE SENATE.
33 TO 27.
10,000 NAVAL RESERVES PROVID
ED FOR WHO ARE TO BE
SUBJECT TO CALL.
FIVE REPUBLICANS VOTE WITH
THE DEMOCRATS AGAINST
THE MEASURE.
Mall Lines Subsidized.
The senate cast its final ballot on
the subsidy shipping bill, which was
passed by a vote of 38 to 27 on Wed
nesday. All tho votes for tho bul were
by Republican senators, except five
who voted with the Democrats In op
position. They were Messrs. Burkett,
Dolllver, La Follette, Spooner and War
ner. The vote on the bill was preceded
by action on a number of amendments
and this by an entire day of debate.
Many important amendments were ac
cepted, but only in one case was a
modification agreed to that was not
in accordance with the wishes of the
managers of the bill.
The exception was on an amendment
offered by Mr. Spooner, eliminating the
provisions giving half pay to mem
bers of the naval reserves who have
served less than six months.
As passed the bill establishes 13
new contract mail lines and Increases
the subvention to the Oceanic line
running from the Pacific coast to Aus
tralia. Of the 13 new lines three leave
Atlantic coast ports, one running to
Brazil, one to Uruguay and Argentina,
and one to South Africa, six from
jjorts on the Gulf of Mexico, embrac
ing one to Brazil, one to Cuba, one to
Mexico and three to Central America
and the Isthmus of Panama: tour from
Pacific coast ports embracing two to
Japan, China and the Philippines di
rect, one to Japan, China and the
Philippines via Hawaii and one to
Mexico, Central America and the
Isthmus of Panama.
The bill also grants a subvention at
the rate of $5 per gross ton per year
to cargo vessels engaged In the foreign
trade of the United States and at the
rate of $6.50 per ton to vessels en
gaged In the Philippine trade, the
Philippine coastwise law being post
poned until 1909.
Another feature of the bill Is that
creating a naval reserve force of 10,
000 officers and men, who are to re
ceive retainers after the British prac
tice. Vessels receiving subsidies are
required to carry a certain proportion
of naval reserve men among their
crews.
The aggregate compensation for
mall lines is about $3,000,000 annually.
No steam vessel of less than 1,000 tons
is to receive aid under the bill.
De Castellane Divorce.
An "urgent" writ was Thursday
served upon Count BonI de Castellane,
making him defendant in the separa
tion proceedings of his wife, formerly
Anna Gould. This decisive step was
taken after renewed efforts to effect a
reconciliation had proved ' fruitless.
The count accepted service of the writ,
even calling upon the countess' lawyers
to facilitate fixing upon a place where
the writ could be delivered.
The bill of complaint was filed at
the same time. It follows very closely
the countess' prima facie showing,
when she first asked the court's per
mission to take action against her
husband. It mentions no names, but
particularizes certain Incidents in
which the count is alleged to have par
ticipated, and it asks for a decree for
what the French law terms "separa'
tlon of body and property," meaning
complete material separation without
a dissolution of the bonds of matrl
mony.
The court holds the bill of complaint
in the strictest secrecy, but the fore
going are essential features of its con
tents. It can be stated with absolute
posltlveness now that the countess has
finally Inaugurated her action that It
is her Intention to secure a decree at
the earliest date possible. The count
will not contest tho granting of a
decree.
Neglected Second Divorce.
. Only 19 years old and married three
times, twice to the same man, is the
record of Mrs. Ethel Hardwlck-John-son-HardwIck,
who was arrested at the
home of a farmer living east of the Ag

bigamy. The young woman, who took
her 2-year-old child with her to Ihe
jail, came originally from Saginaw and
her name was then Ethel Malone.
Charles G. Hardwick was the first
and last husband and Arthur B. John
son the other one. She married Hard

THE SIDELL MURDER.
Elmer Hildebrant, of Howell, ac
cused by Aldlo Sldell with hla dying
breath of being his murderer, is now
in the county Jail, and though the of
ficers refuse to say so, it is believed
he has made a complete confession
of the affair. Hildebrant was captured
at the home of John Marr, six miles
from the village, while asleep in a
chair. Marr and his family knew noth
ing of the murder until the arrival of
the officers searching for Hildebrant.
The autopsy held on the body showed
that three balls took effect, one In the
face, one in the abdomen and one in
the shoulder.
Mrs. Hildebrant is also locked up in
the county Jail as a witness, and Sner
Iff Pratt will not allow her to be in
terviewed until after the Inquest.
The shooting took place near the
Hildebrant home, and the theory is
that Sldell, who was a big, powerful
man, grappled with his murderer,
wrested the weapon from him and
tried to shoot him. The murderer ran,
and Sidell started in pursuit, but got
only as far as the Reed home, a block
distant, before he became faint from
his wounds and died.
For some time past Hildebrant has
been Insanely Jealous because hl3 wife
persisted In entertaining other men.
Her affections seemed to center on Sl
dell, who boarded at the Hildebrant
home. Monday night Sldell threw Hil
debrant, who is a small man, off the
porch of his own house when the latter
tried to enter the house.
Many times lately Hildebrant has
said that "some one was going to get
hurt If they didn't keep away from his
house," and Sidell was one of those
to whom he made this threat.

tion of the statute is a fine of from
$1,000 to $5,000.
They found that this colored stuff
called butter had crept all over the
city. They traced big shipments from
Detroit out into nearly every city and
village in the state, to Ohio and Penn
sylvania cities and towns. They found
that the alleged creamery butter was
being used universally throughout the
city. In one of the prominent hotels
Inspector Slusser took samples of the
"butter" being used and found by
anaylsis that it was nothing but the
colored oleo.

Ecuador Earthquake.
Additional information is being re

indicating that the earthquake of Jan
uary 31 was extremely disastrous.
In the neighborhood of Port Lim-
ones four small islands disappeared.
These islands were inhabited by fish
ermen who escaped in small boats, in
which they were at sea for three days
until the water became sufficiently
calm to enable them to reach the main
land. The city of E3meraldas was nearly
inundated by' a tidal wave, which en
tered the port, flooding the principal
streets. All the inhabitants ran for
the mountains in the neighborhood.
All the towns in the province of Es
meraldas and Manabl were greatly
damaged, and especially Rio Verde,
Camaronas, La Tola, Limones, Borbon
and Pinguagl, the most of the Inhabi
tants of which are homeless.
In the Colombian towns of Mosqera,
San Juan and Domlngorltz more than
300 persons perished. At Barbacoas a
severe earthquake was felt, but no
damage is reported. Antloqula and
other Colombian departments suffered

THE DANCE OF DEATH.
A Los Angeles dispatch says: "Be

er tragedy of Bohemia, with gilded
youths as the only spectators. Eight
days ago, whilo dancing on a table in
the theatrical resort. Miss Minnie
Blough burst a blood vessel and died in
a private conveyance which was quiet
ly called to convey her to a private
hospital. No inquest was held and a
doctor hurriedly gave a certificate that
death was due to abdominal hemor
rhages. The death certificate gave the
name of W. M. Phillips, of C'arksvllle,
Mich., as the Informant. An autopsy
had been performed showing that the
young woman was on the way to moth
erhood in an abnormal way and death
would have resulted, although in a
less spectacular way.
The burial in Clarksville, Mich., of
Miss Minnie Blough, aged 22, who
died at Los Angeles, Ca., was sup
posed to have hidden the secret of a
tragedy which has caused sorrow in
the home of Samuel Blough, a well-to-do.
farmer. The remains of the young
woman were brought home by Clyde
and Lillian Blough, brother and sister
of the young woman, and an attempt
was made to keep the cause of death
a secret. Los Angeles authorities have
investigated, however, and find that
she died of an internal hemorrhage in
the midst of a revel of a theatrical
resort in that city. The name of a
wealthy eastern tourist is mentioned
in connection with the case and it is
said 'he paid ail of the expenses of
bringing the body home.
Minnie Blough was married two
years ago to Sam Dysenger and lived
at the Soo. They separated and Minnie
and her brother and sister went to Chi
cago and thence to California. They
were employed In a restaurant In Los
Angeles when the eastern tourist men
