He also mstntslned that, by following the regi- ri be prescribed. It was possible to cure many ills without the aid of any physician.

According to the Post Office Inspector, Dr. Thomas carried on a big mall order business. Men from all over the United States would write to him and describe their symptoms and he would give them advice without personally seeing them. Indeed, th postal authorities presented an affidavit which it was alleged that ta many cases men told the defendant of sympeome which were absolutely normal, and he replied prescrib-raeT fr theoi as though they showed a danrerously diseased condition.

LOXDON HERE FOR TAX FIGHT ON ILLINOIS CENTRAL Attorney General of Illinois and Counsel Seek Deposition of Stuyvesant Fish. CHARGES ROAD 'HOLDS 0UP Abraham Lincoln Waa Company's Counsel in Previous Appeal Over Point Long In Dispute. The scene of the fight which the State of Illinois is making asalnet the IlMaols Central lUllroad on th iustion of taxes shifted yesterday to New York. when Attorney General Patrick J.

I.uoey of Illinois, accompanied by If. T. Gilbert and Char lea L. Brown, sneclal counsel, came here te take testimony. Mr.

Lucey said at the Waldorf that the deposition of Stuyvesant Fish, former President of the railroad, would be taken to-day. "The present case." explained Mr. Lucey. Is reaUy only another phase of the old Illinois Central litigation. The railroad does net pay text on what are called Its charter or subsidized llnea.

but a on Ms gross in rente. Tlie State accuned the road of holding out. and not paying what it should. The case against the Illinois Central haa perhsps a tlosen ramifications, some of which have been pending- five or six years. This one has gone to the Su preme Court and come back again with directions as te hew to proceed.

This is an appeal frcia the tax assessment of the Auditor of Public Accounts, and Is an increase of between one and a half and two million dollars a year over a hat the road has been paying. It Is not the original suit against the road. That deals wlUi back taxes. The sum at stake ia this suit is the assessment for the present year. The case went directly to tho Supreme Court without being tried in a lower court.

When the Illinois Central was chartered In there was a Se'ial act fixing the percentage of the gross Income to be paid the State and providing that the A ad I tor saoaid make the assessment witn the understanding that If the road were dissatisfied it might appeal directly to the Supreme Court. It Is a csnsui circumstance that the only appeal Btade by the railroad he-fore this waa in 1859, and that the counsel! for Uie rend in that suit was Abraham lAnoeta. At that trree the read was ta bad sbngte. It bed Just rot ndr way and Its land sales had not produced the Income expected. There was some evidence adduced, but the suit was settled out of court.

However, the court settled the light of the. Auditor to ass-s. The Central has been paying 2 per cent. Its gnrns income in liew of taxes. The theory has been that rf the 2 per cent, is less than the regular State assessment the road must pay a regular tax on Its property if it is more, then the 2 per cent, is to be paid.

It is asserted in behalf of the State that tfae property of the road has been listed so that a regular tax. If computed, would bs less than per cent, of the gross income. We figure out that if the property of the raid had been hooeetly listed tor taxation the Central would pay on a vast amount if property it owns in Illinois, and that, a proper valuation of this would yield a tax that would amount ta almost more than the 2 per' cent, of the gross Income of the railroad. This tax feature Is entirely Inde- t- 1. Attmatt have arranged for This Day (Tuesday) An Important Sale of Men's Furmiflshflinigs offering remarkable values at very much less than the usual prices.

The illlnou Central is the only railroad that has ever had such valuable properties made over to it by a State. Just before that time th National Government deeded many square miles of public lands to the State, and the State gave to the railroad very alternate section from Chtcaew to Gaieaburg. a distance of about H'O rr.ilnii, and from Kast Dubuque to Cen-tratia.

Ths 2 pr cent assessment applies only to the chartered or subsidised lines of the road, 'which pays no bounty school, or other taxes on these lines. The company makes its own division as to which parts or its property are taxa-lil imd whLf are not. For nurposes of taxation the road holds that practically Its whnli equipment belongs to th chartered lines, but when flKurltig on ths Income for tb; 2 per cent, assessment moet of the income seems to derived from its other lines; so our contention Is thst the State has not be getting what is cnxutns; to It.
