SALEM, April 16.-Spedal.-Did the Legislature of 1S0J repeal the law which exempts militiamen from the payment of poll und rood poll taxes? .Is a question which has been submitted to Attorney- General Crawford for his consideration. The general road law expressly .repeals article 9. chapter 10. of title 39 of Benin per and Cotton's annotated laws. This ar ticle contains section 4 S3, which allows the exemption In favor of militiamen. It happens, however, that the same sec tion waa repealed by Bellinger and Cot ton as a part of the military code, and la section 2263 of the Bellinger and Cotton compilation. The two sections are one law reported as a matter of convenience. The question Is whether the Legislature In tended to repeal the law entirely ana tnus remove the exemption or Intended only to remove section S32 from the road law, leaving section 3263 to remain In full force. The new road law Impose a road poll tax of S3 upon' all persons between the ages of 21 and 50, except those by law exempt. It is apparent that the Leglaia- turc intended that there should be some exemptions, but this might be construed to apply to firemen. There are two acts relative to firemen, and one of these was Included in the article J which was re pealed. TEereTsno question about "lire- men being exempt, but a doubt exists as to militiamen. Attorney, A. O. Condit, who has been compiling and indexing the acts of the last Legislature, discovered that the ex emption law had been repealed and he referred It to the Secretary of State, who paseed it up to the Attorney-General.

After having exhausted the regular and one special venire the Jury was finally secured, this morning In the trial of Christ Benson, and this afternoon rapid progreso teas made In the taking of the state's testimony. Jack Kahla. the trusty, who witnessed e part of the struggle which ended In the death of Jailer Dave Morreil. wan tne leading witness, and the other testimony deduced today was from the officers who participated In the capture of Benson and to whom he made confessions. The only matter brought out In addition to the newspaper account of the murder wae In Kahla's testimony. Kahla testllied positively today to seeing the first shot fired by Benson, and his statement of the manner In which It was fired Is In con flict with Benson's published statements to the newspaper men. and on which It Is believed he rellon as an Important point In his defense. Benson claimed that the shot was fired by SIcrrcl himself, but that In struggling the weapon was turned Inward toward the Jailer's own body. Kahla sajn, how ever, that Benson got the revolver, step ped back a few paces and fired. The other shots were discharged where he could not see the men. Kahla also testified that during the rtruggle Benson shouted, "Come on Curly." meaning Albert Brad ley, one of the other prisoners whom Benson has since implicated as In the plot to escape. Kahla says Benson and Bradley helped dig the hole through the wall by which means two boyn accused of burglary es caped on the Friday night preceding the killing of Morreil. It Is expected the trial will be concluded by the end of the week. IXLAXIl EMPIRE TEACHERS. Listen to Address by Chancellor An. drewa, of -VebrnsUsu WALLA WALLA., Wash.. April 16.

Cared by One Bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. The Honest Trnth aa Mated by Frank W. Perry, Editor of the Enter prlne. ShortsvlIIe, X. T. "When I had an attack of the grip last Winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This Is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonzul of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that tn the briefest In terval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and Its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted aa & most agreeable surprise Is putting It very mild ly. I had no Idea that It would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had nev.r tried It lor such a purpose, but It did it. and It seemed with the second at tack of coughing the remedy caused It to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."

The Evening Post today prints the following: The com plete findings of Eugene A. Philbln. for mer District Attorney of New York County, as counsel for certain stockhold ers of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, were made public today. This paragraph occurs: "It la clear, therefore, when the com pany's own statements are analyzed, that the lnterurban lease was calculated to provide, and has actually provided, mill ions of dollars In excess of the bines t re quirements of the Metropolitan Com pany. The report also finds that In 1S3& ISM. 1900 and 1991 the Metropolitan Company stated In its annual reports to the State Railroad Commission that It had expends FIFTY-SIX YEARS. ed for construction and equipment a sum In cash "exceeding by millions of dol lars the actual sum In cash which Is proved by the -company's general balance sheets to have been so expended." Mr. Philbln says' tbe company asked for 333,000,000 to pay the unfunded debt In curred In the purchase of stock of tbe Third-avenue company, and to defray the expenses of extending the electrical sys tem to upward of SO miles still operated with horse-cars, and upon analysis the re port said only JH.TSl.CM was required for these two purposes. The report further says the company proposed to create a refunding mortgage to secure an author ized Issue of 36u.000.000 of I per cent 100 year refunding bonds, of which about 354.- 000.000 was to be reserved to retire and re fund the 27 Issues of existing bonds se cured by liens upon the various parts of the Metropolitan system, excluding the Third-avenue lines. The total of such Issues. Mr. Philbln says, wan exactly IIS.19S.000. and not about 354.000.000. "The difference," the report says, "be tween 34S.I96.000 and 365,000,000 Is 316, 804.- 000." Manipulation of Bonds, The "report continues that, while 3S5,- 000,000 was provided for the Central Cross town Railroad and Its outstanding bonds and for change of motive power, a new 33,000,000 mortgage was Issued on tbe Central Cross Town Railroad lines to take up that company's outstanding bonds and pay for changes of motive power from horse-cars to electric traction, so that the Increase in bonded debt. Instead of being about 311,000,000 as appears to have been expended, turns out to be ex actly 310.S04.000. In 1909 the company. Mr. Philbln says. made application for an Increase of cap ital stock from 345.000.000 to 352.000.009. Of this Increase. 33,000,000, It was claimed, would be required to pay tbe expenses of the change and 34.009.000 to pay the floating indebtedness of the company contracted for the purchase of stocks In other street-railway companies in the city. The sum of 310,509.439 was received from the sale of this additional stock, which was offered to tbe stockholders of the company at 16a In 190L 33,700.009 was ex pended on new construction and loans amounting to 3T4I4.906 were paid. Tbe report of the company for 1900, tbe year the purchase of the Third-Avenue Rail road Company was consummated, shows that temporary loans to the amount of 3?.S50,000 were contracted and cash was disbursed for stocks and bonds of other companies In the sum of 37.402.S54. "It is apparent, therefore." says the report. Trhen ail these facts are con sidered, that the sum of 37,000.000 of new stock provided a sufficient sum of cash to pay for new construction and to pay In full the debt Incurred In 1909 for the purchase not only of Third-avenue stock. but of other street-railway stocks." This follows the statement that the company In 1902 asked for 323.000.000, part of which was to be used in paying the unfunded debt incurred In the purchase of the Third-avenue line. "As a matter of fact." Mr. Philbln says. "It can be conclusively shown by tbe company's sworn statement that the Metropolitan on that date could not have owed a single dollar of unfunded, debt Incurred In the. purchase of Third-avenue stock." Dealing with the Interurbas's leaae. the report says: "While the Metropolitan Company has been continuously, since the date of the lease and Is at present a creditor of the lnterurban Company, yet In July last tne Metropolitan Com pany Issued 311.000.000 of Its own bonds and turned the proceeds -thereof over to the lnterurban Company In accordance with the arrangement described In the lnterurban circular and as agreed upon by tbe two companies In. the lease. "It Is clear that this 311.000,000 was pro vided for the purpose of enabling the lnterurban Company to carry out Its con tract to pay 7 per cent guaranteed divl dends on the 352.040.009 of Metropolitan stock, for the lnterurban Company has no earning capacity or its own and its only earnings are represented by the earnings of the Metropolitan Company lUelf. which never has been and Is not at present equal to 7 per cent on Its capital stock. Accordingly, the anomaly Is presented or tne Metropolitan company. although a creditor or the lnterurban. in creasing Its own liabilities by 3U.000.000 so as to enable the lnterurban Company to carry out its guarantee of paying; div idends upon Metropolitan stock." During 1SS9. 1930 and Uw. the report says. tbe company reported expending for con struction and equipments xs,ru,ZL while the actual expenditures, according to the balance- sheets was 22,335,5T"L On the subject of excessive valuation of Investments, Mr. Philbln reports: Pays girl 00,000 for t300 ,000. "Tbe total value of Investments act out In the general balance sheet of June 3D. 190L was ta.CS,CSJ6, and a year later tCT,5C,7LTt. These values are repre sented by more than JU.000.W0 of Metro politan stock Issued In U97 for the ac quirement of a part of the stock and bonds held at present at Investments, and by the cash proceeds Dt other shares of stock devoted to the purchase of such Investments. The total of such stock Is sued la about 330,000,009 face value, on which the company la paying 7 per cent dividends, or at the rate of n.too.000 a year. - But the company's Income from these Investments, as Its own annual reports prove. Is but about 5300.000 a year. In other words, the company Is paving out annually JL 00,000 to receive In return 3300.000. "No one could possibly doubt, after consideration of these and other perti nent facts bearing upon the subject, that the company's Investment account has been manipulated, to the advantage of some person or persons; for It la clear that. If the company Is losing over ji,(wa.ooo annually through these invest ments, some one Is necessarily profiting to an equal extent." Mr. Philbln contends that entries In the company's reports of 3300.000 In 1900 and 32,035,000 In 1901. "paid by lesser com panies " are pretended. He says none of the lesser companies were obliged to pay the Metropolitan any sum of cash on account. of addition and betterments on leased lines. In conclusion, he says; calculations and estimates "clearly Indicate that the Met ropolitan Company has 'Claimed for 1903 an expenditure of cash for change of motive power exceeding" by more than $8,000,000 the true cost thereof." Grand Trunk Is Prosperous. LONDON. April I6.-Slr Charles Rivers Wilson, president of tbe Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada, presiding at a crowded meeting of the shareholders to day said the financial results of the past nan year had been entirely satisfactory except the abnormal Increase of the work ing expenses, due to the American coal strike, which had nearly doubled the com pany's fuel bllL and the Increase nf 3500.000 In the payroll, "besides the consid erable amount expended on new build ings which were imperative to cope with tne increasing business of the road. He also referred to the importance, of tne projected extenelon of the Grand Trunk to tbe Pacific, which would give tne urand Trunk an adequate share of the business arising from the development or tne northwest. The new line would ultimately extend eastward from Quebec The report was adopted. Great Northern to Pay Dividend. ST. PAUL, April 18. Concerning the re port from the East that the Great North ern directors will meet in this city in a few days to take action on a dividend which might be prevented by the Govern ment suit, one of the board today said to tbe Associated Press: "The Great Northern declared a divi dend payable the 1st of May, and has done so for many years.

Burn ham, of New Hampshire. Nelson, of Minnesota, and Patterson, of Colorado, a sub-committee to visit Alaska this Summer for the pur pose of making a thorough investiga tion of conditions in that territory with a view to recommending legislation or amendments to existing laws to the Sen ate when it assembles. Senator Nelson Is a member of the Com mlttee on Public Lands and Senator Pat terson is a member of the Committee on Mines and Mining, so that the sub-com mlttee will Include In Its membership Senators familiar with the West. The sub-committee will have complete con trol of the Investigation to be made, the only suggestion made by the committee when the latter was before It being that there should be an Inquiry on the ground into conditions In Alaska, as It was felt that current Information was too meager and Indirect to enable Congress to grasp the actual conditions. Hearings will be held wherever the sub-committee thinks best and much personal Investigation will take place. Senator Beveridge will not go to Alas ka, as he purposes to take a rest from labor of all kinds up In the Maine for ests during July and August. DEFECTS 15 THE JIAIXE.
