JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 4.—Mem- bers of the House beyond the temptation of trust influences have decided to solidi- fy their forces and bring about the page of a franchise tax bill, which include all quasi-public corporations. In view of the desire of not a few mem- bers to have private corporations also taxed e formidable line of action is planned. | It is proposed first to present a bill cover- ; ing at once both private and public cor- porations, next submit a measure concern- ing each class of corporation separately. In this way it is proposed to secure suc- | cessful action on the quasi-public measure. The neral advocates of a franchise tax believing that the first measure with the ‘private co ration clause being defeated hose who favor it will readily vote on a quasi-public bill rather than abandon al- | together franchise legislation. presentative Blair of De Kalb has drafted a franchise tax bil) similar in many respects to that presented for enactment | two years ago. | The general features are contained in the ‘ first section, which reads: Re it enacted by the General Assembl) of the State of Missouri as follows: Section 1.. Every railway company, street way company, telegraph company, tele- company, electric light company, power company, g€as company, wa- terworks company, ferry company, bridge company, turnpike company, toll gate com- pany, ace car company, dining cor com- pany, sleeping car company, chair car com- pany, conduit company, express company, press dispatch and every othér like com- = , corporation, association or individual! | Me or exercising any special privilege or franchise in this state, not alowed by law to nat persons, or performing any vesi or quasi public s ce, shall, in addi- ton to the other taxes imposed on them by Jaw, annually pay on the true vaiue o1 its franchise a tax of 15 cents on each $100 val- mation thereof for state purposer, and 1° cents on each $100 to a fund for the benefit oe State University to the state, and a tax th the county, city, in- | lage,, township, tax- | and sehool district where its franchises may be exercised. pas - ehait rs for agrec such a-%—1 —@— &—_0— 000-0 —6—0 9 @- © © © © © & -#-@--@ @-© ‘BOWLING _-_ S IDENTIFIED TRIAL BY COUNCIL —— i - d Not Have Been Guilty Point Is Raised as of Hawkins Murder WA PENITENTIARY TWO RESOLUTIONS CLASH — Wel | Sudden Death of William!

Those who were to have been guests at the ball had received funeral notices in somber contrast to the invitations pre- viously sent them. The testimony at the inquest left no dotibt of the premeditation with which Hoiles ac- complished his own déstruction. He himself almost within sight of his daugh- ter, Adele, New Year's night and died yes- terday morning. The coroner's verdict attributes death to porary mental! aberration. For several weeks prior to the suicide Hoiles had been under treatment for the Fy uor and morphine habits. A portion of s time was spent at Dwight, Il., and a tion in St. A ey where he was treated y Dr. Frank R. Hoiles was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Greenville. He was for many vears vice-president of the tirm of: Hoiles «& bankers, from w'e7h he fetired five years ago. He was a brother-in-law of W. A. North- oott, licutenant-governor-elect of Illingis. Told His Daughter She Was Needed. Hoiles was about town all day Tuesday and was apparently in good spirits when he returned home at 10 o’clock in the even- ing. There he learned that his daughter Adele was visiting Miss Elva Von Weise. at whose home she intended to remain all night. He went to the Von Weise r@ dence and found that his daughter had retired. He asked her to return higne at onc e, saying she ie might be needed there. 80 visited the home of his son Clar- pa an attorney, and after a short con- Versation kissed the young man and bade an affectionate farewell.

The message*thus reviews the St. Louis Street railway strike: } : “Early in 1900 a dispute arose between the St. Louis Transit Co. and its employes over wages, hours of labor and other matters, which threatened to culminate in a strike of the employes of said company, but on March 10 an agreement was entered into which appeared to amicably adjust the dif- ferencés between the parties directly inter- ested. Seon thereafter a movement was Started to organize the employes of said company into what is known as the ‘Amal- gamated Association of Street Car Em- pioyes of America.’ Upon the refusal of the officers of the transit company to comply with certain demands made by the members of the association, chief among which was the formal recognition of their union, a general strike was ordered by the officers of | the association on May 7. Prior to the agreement of March 10, in accordance with the provisions of existing arbitration laws, Labor Commissioner rhomas P. Rixey tendered his services as mediator of the dispute, but was assured that the parties interested would be able to reach a satisfactory adjustment without assistance, When the strike was declared BLA Gc gra: Blankets, 10-4 size, eto. | Peecet r... 990 Blank ay 10-4 size, fair... - Oo Ww ; » fair... 990 Biankets.

This would come nearer to accomplishing this end, as the business of these places is wholly done between these | Fe 3: / : | is sort would make & . -years of the present administration, Were $84,117,413.17; leaving a total balance in the funds in the treasury Jan. 1, 1901, of $1,078,931.53. “There is in the sinking fund $217,323.45, which can be used for the payment of bonds alone, and I recommend that an appropria- tion of $200,000 be made as early as possible for the extinguishment of a like amount oO: our outstanding {nterest bearing bonds, “The books of the state treasurer show that during the present administration $77,240.64 has been collected from thé state depositories in interest upon daily balances, which has veen placed in the revenue fund. This amount is more than enough to pay all the expenses of the office of the state treasurer during the last eight years. “State revenues are derived from a tax of % cents on the $100 valuation, levied upon real and personal property of individ- vals and corporations, from license taxes, tax on premiums received from foreign in- suranve companies, on merchants and manufacturers, and express companies, in- terest on balances with our state deposi- tories, an incorporation tax, notarial fees, from sundry minor sources. "The estimated receipts for 1901 and 1902 will not vary greatly from the receipts dur- ing and 1900. he approximated amounts required to meet ordinary expenses of the state government for the next two years will be about $4,750,000. The auditor's manus report will give requirements in etail. “On Jan. 1, 1897, when I entered upon the duties of my office, the bontied indebtedness of the state aggregated in bonds, drawing 8% per cent interest, $5,000,000. Changes Made in Four Years. “Under the requirements of the state con- stitution, $250,000 at least of the principal of our interest-bearing bonds are to be ex- tinguished annually. During 1897 and 1898, the first two years of the present adminis- tration, the bonded debt was reduced $1,- 358,000. During 1899 and 1900, the last ve ce nded indebtedness was reduced $1,755,000. The total reduction being $3,113,000, which means a saving to the state of $108,950 an- nually in interest charges alone. This leaves the bonded debt outstanding Jan. 1, 1901, $1,887,000, drawing 3% per cent in- terest, payable at the option of the state. It will be observed that $2,113,000 more of our bonds have been redeemed during this administration than were required by the state constitution. “In my biennial message to the Fortieth Generally Assembly, under date of Jan. 5, 1899, referring to the bonded indebtedness, 1 d: ‘The real debt of the state is, there- fore, insignificant, in proportion to our assessed valuation, and while it may not be entirely @xtinguished during the present ad- ministratien | see no reason why it cannot paid of within the early days of the succeeding one.’ “I see no reason now to change my view then expressed, and confidently believe every dollar of our interest-bearing bonded indebtedness will be paid off by Jan. 1, 1903. “Besides our bonded indebtedness, which @mounts to $1,887,000, and draws 3% per cent interest, payable semi-annually, we have outstanding ‘certificates of indebted- * belonging to our ‘school fund’ amounting to $3,158,000—of .which $2,909,000 draw 6 per cent interest, and the balance 6 per cent interest, and $1,235,839.42 ‘certif- cates of indebtedness,’ belonging to the ‘seminary fund,’ drawing mostly 5 per cent interest—making the total state debt at this fime $6,.280,839.42, as compared with $9,309.- yy Jan. 1, 1897—being a net reduction of .000, While as stated before, the bond- ed dem has been reduced $3,113,000, the certificates: of indebtedness have been {jin- creased $24,000."’ Labor Bureau Employment Offices. Of the bureau of labor. the message says: “The operation of the free employment offices established by «the bureau in §8Sr. Louis and Kansas City, in obedience to enactment by the Fortieth General Assem- bly, has resulted in finding employment, during the year ending Oct. 1, for G86 de- serving persons, who thus: became self-sup- porting. The law under which these em- loyment offices operate provides for their ocation in all cities of the state having 100,000 inhabitants, and es the report of the twelfth census shows that 8t. Joseph has a population .in excess of that number, tha city is entitled under sald law to a fee ployment offite—for which adequate pro- Vision should be mude.”’ Increase of Lead and Zine Mining. “The last four years show a phenomenal increase in the product of our mines; The inerease of our zinc product of 53.28 per cent our lead product with 32.95 per cent, and an increase in the value, of the two metais or ores of 93.00 per cent, is to say the most remarkable and gratifying. The total value for the two ores for the first four years Was $14,497,103, while for the last four ears the value reached $25,066,140. For the wonl yenr 1895, the product of our Coa). lead and zine mines was worth $6,569,723, and for Sins) ae, YEAH 10, the product ‘sold for ASS.

A man in Nebraska paid 67 2-3 cents; in Michigan sides what he paid to the College of Agri- culture and State School of Mines. It will be seen that several of the state universi- more per annum than the. Missouri Uni- versity has received in the biennial period. Moreover, come and hence are able to carry out a fixed policy. I have heretofore recommend- be made for a fixed income for the Missouri University and here repeat with emphasis tins former recommendations along this ne. “The certificates of indebtedness hereto- nary fund have proved safe and satisfac- tory. Adequate provision should be made for their continuance. “The State University is the head of the ublic school system of Missouri. It should so liberally supported that no Missou- rian need send his children beyond the bor- ders of the state for university training.’ Condition of State Institutions. State institutions, educational and elee- mosynary, are treated extensively. The regents of the Kirksville Normal will ask for appropriations aggregating $93,700. War- rensburg Normal has grown largely. Five courses Of study have been addeds-manual training, physical culture, practical agri- culture and nature study, a kindergarten department, two years of German. Cape Girardeau Normal.—Appropriations aggregating: $68,500 will be asked. School for Blind.—The removal of echool to a more sultable location in the city of St. Louis and erection of a new building is recommended by the manage- tite in the city of St. Louis on account of im- portant advantages attaching thereto- skilled oculists, specialists in teaching dif- ferent branches and lectures, and certs—not to be obtained elsewhere. A new building with comforts and conveniences is needed. The old dilapidated structure now necessitates constant and expensive re- pairs. School for Deaf.—An additional school buifihg and a cottage for pupils under 1 years are recommended. Lincoln Institute.—New dormitory needed. The needs of the Federal Soldiers’ Home, Confederate Home, Reform. Schools for boys and girls and the asyiums for insane and. feeble-minded.are pointed out, Liberal appropriation far the state fair of 1901 is urged and the work of the state fruit experiment station is commended. Franchise Tax Law Urged. After showing that the state constitution authorizes taxation of franchises, and urg- ing that all franchises should be taxed, th overnor says: “It is obvious at a glance that the various classes of corporations possess different kinds of franchises, and this necessarily leads to the deduction that different methods of taxation for the franchises ot the several kinds of corporate intangible property must be devised. If the corporate business is one of which. the corporation has, as a public service agency, a sub- Stantial monopoly, a much heavier fran- chise tax could be readily paid than’‘if the corporate business was one open to free competition between corporations and in- dividuals, and in respect of which corpora- tions would enjoy no‘ special privileges or advantages, "To illustrate: A given tax on the corpo- having a practical monopoly of the trans- portation facilities of a city, might be just, yet the same tax on a trading company, in the samo city, with which every one might /actin i franchises. compete, wou.d at once operate to the dis- These are matters to be considered in en- laws for-the taxation of “A general statute corporation, joint stock company or associ- shall pay into the state treagury an annual excise or franchise tax, computed upon the amount of its capital stock within our state, declared or made u its capital stock each year, fixing an adjustable scale to be ap- plied to those corporations declaring earning dividends above or below a certain per cent on the par value of thetr stock: an? proepecting~—makinge a | | Lion comnatituting the | ia represented.

A citizens’ commit- tee, composed of prominent business men, was formed for the purpose of effecting 2 settlement of the differences between the transit company and its striking employes, did not succeed. Approximately 3009 street car employes were engaged in this strike, which continued for a considerable It was estimated the company lost about $250,000 souls and surrounding country several millions through obstructed and diverted trade, not taking into consideration the loss to the reputation of the city and the state. During the existence of this strike consid- erable lawlessness prevailed, resulting in the death of 14 persons, the wounding of many more and the destruction of much property. , Urgent and repeated appeals were made to me by the officers of the city of St. Louis an’ others moPe or less interested to order out the state militia to suppress disorder; but believing that the police powers con- the ' ferred upon the municipal officials, if prop- lerly invoked, were fully equal to the sup- nression of all lawlessness and the rest: ary tion of peace and good order, and that mil- peryistentiy refused to order out The police board and the sher- iff. through an increase of their forces, re- stored order and business gradually as- sumed its normal condition. The _ strike demonstrated the insufficiency of our pres- ent arbitration laws. The general public is concerned in all disputes between employers and their employes, and this is especia'ly true where the employer is engaged in con- ducting a public utility the interruption of which interferes, with the pleasure, conven- fence or material interests of the public. The consensus of intelligent public senti- ment favors the settlement of such disputes between emplovers and their employes by arbitration. Many of the states now have arbitration boards whose efforts appear to result very' satisfactorily to all concerned. “Your attention is resnectfullyv directed te this subject with the confident belief that you will give it such consideration as its mportance merits.”’ World’s Fair Commission.

Chief Deputy Marshal Henry Erb of the Dayton street police court, says he will re- fuse to obey an order from Judge Wislize- nus, directing him to take into custody prisoners whos bonds had been approved by the police captain, but which were not ,, approved by Judge Wislizenus. The judge Thursday made the ruling that ‘all professional bondamen had to qualif before him on the 16th of this month, ana, failing so to do, all bonds bearing their sig- natures, would be declared null and vold and that the chief marshal must take the principals of the bonds Into custody. This is the marshal’s first entrance Into the fleld of legal interpretation and his re- fusal to obey the court's order may raise an interesting legal point. Ambassador White Honored.

His Horse and Vehicle Were Taken During His Absence and When Found Pistol] Was Gone. Speelal to the Post-Dispatch SAVANNAH, Mo., Jan. 4.-—-Tive. unexpect- ed appearance of John Lemon in connec- Tion with the Richardson case adds to the Mystery of the Christmas ev’ tiagedy. Le- mon claims that the revolver {ound by the bey a block distant from the Richardson house belongs to him. His identification «f the weapon positive and may finally prove to be incor- rect. NO one suspects Lemon of implication in the murder. His story is as follows: He ys he attended the play at the opera house on Christmas eve and was accom- panied by a young woman whvw lives in the country. He secured a livery team to wring is not the show the rig was missin. found the buggy in the southera part of Savannah, but his revolver, which, he cays, left lying in the bottom of the vehicle, Was gone. His rig was hitchei near the Richardson home.

Poula indicate that the weapon used to kil Hich- ardson not yet been found. It seems out of the question that Richardson's assassin started to the Richardson home unarmed, and found a pistol in ‘emon’s buggy just to his hand. The Widow’s Latest Statement... The story of the murder as now told by his widow, proves a disappointment to those who expected that she would bring out. important facts and cause the arrest to suppose > of some prominent citizen. The statements now made by Mrs. Richardson are prac- tically the same as she will make when she testifies before Coroner Dever and the jury. Her version of the affair was given to a friend for publication, and is in substance as follows: Her husband was shot while standing on the threshold of the door leading into the room where she sat. She heard him enter at the front door, and from the footsteps ined the impression that some one was ith him. She says Richardson exclaimed, as he reached her door, “Has it come to this?” or “Has it come—" leaving the Sentence unfinished, for at that instant the shot was fired and he sank down. Mrs. Richardson's impression was at that imstant that her husband was pretending to have committed suicide. She says he did retend to kill himself twice before during heir married life, once with a revolver and a second time with a razor. when he went to the barn and fell on his face, as though he had cut his throat. 4 back to the early part of the even- ing, Mré. Richardson said she had intended to go to the Christmas tree entertainment for the purpose of hearing the recitation of @ little girl, the daughter of a neighbor. Mrs. Richardson and her husband had not been on the best of terms for some time, un- til a few days before the murder, and they had hardly become reconciled then. She had decided only that day to have a Christmas tree for their children, and it had been placed in the north room, designated as the parior. She was at work on ihe tree that evening after Richardson and Gearge Crow- ley left the house, and after Bessie Phillis. the servant girl, George Vaught and the three Richardann boys had gone to the en- tertainment at the church. her to the town ahd return her home.

He believes they would make ex- cellent cooks and housemai‘ds, et«., and that the mountain regions could supply the country with house helps. Two facts would seent to.make this theory a difficult one to prove. As is well known, the maids of the Kentucky moun- tains, whose fathers carry lors ‘ifles and manufacture ‘‘mvon- shine,” are very independent. t10w would such girls act when the “mistress” complained that the steak was badly cooked or the room carelessly siwvept?

THREE FORCES OF INVADERS ONE COLUMN WITHIN FOUR DAYS’ RIDE OF CAPETOWN. Loyalists Are Joining the British Force and Preparing to Repel the | Boer Invasion. | | ; ; 2 LONDON, Jan. 4.—Like Sherman in his march to the sea,-the Boers, leaving Kitch- ener and the main British army in the Transvaal and Orange Free State, are marching through Cape Colony in the di- fection of Capetown. The situation is unique, and England Is flarmed over this sudden show of strength and mobility on the part of a people who have been heralded to the world as crushed. Williston, or Amandelboom, whither the western Boer force is stated to be making, is about 70 miles northwest of Frazerburg, in a wild, snarsely settled country. This is regarded -here as a hopeful indication that the western incursion has been checked and turned. Of the advance from the east, there Is little news; but the vanguard of the invad- ers under the leadership of colonial rebels is Stated to be within four days’ nide of Cape ; Town. The whole situation is full of un- certainty. The government allows little to be known. Cape Town itself seems to be | thorough!y awake to the danger. The Times correspondent describes the | Tespouse to the governments call to arms) as one of the most remarkable incidents of | the war. He suys that practically the whole | effective Jopulation is offering to serve. ee ee eee ee CITY NEWS.
