that Kennedy. whom he knew to be in the

laughed at Gregory's charge, and said:
THAT is more money than / ever had at
any one time i'm my liie." In his testimony
Gregory said:
It was fact that contractors began cut.
ting before their contracts had received the
approval OF the Indian office. and that
this had always been the practice. 1t was
necessarily SO, though il the orders of the
department were iseued earlier in the sea-
son-say by July o. August-th there would
he time enough to get the contracts made
anc forwarded for approval before the
logging season began. Contractors wished
to get to work early, build their camps and
cut Dads. and if they waited for the APP
proval OF the department the gr eater part
OF the season would be lost. There vas
no politics in the letting OF contracts.
About 30 per cent OF the contractors are,
in fact, Republicans. The Indians were
getting better prices for their trees now
than ever before. 1t was an advantage
to the Indians to have white men in the
reservation and said the Indians wanted
them there. An Indian would agree with
three or four different parties to sell his
lumber-With any body, in fact, who would
advance him money.

be settled were rudely dissipated, when the
news came that the switchmen and brake
men on the entire "Q' system went out on
a strike in support OF the engineers. Their

among the switchmen and brakemen en-

men were in constant danger to life and
limb from the alleged incornpetency Of the
engineers and fremen who have taken the
places OF the Burlington members OF the
Brotherhood. The switchmen intimate
that they had assurances hat none of the
many Knights OF Labor among the new
engineers and firemen on the Burlington

Railroad Discrimination

The inter Estate commerce commission,
while in session at Omaha listened to
complaints from the Business Mems As
socation of Minnesota. The case was
opened with q statement from the repre-
sentatives Of the associations:
The organization complained that
the Chicago Il Northwestern Rail.
way company, carrying merchandise
OF all classes from Lake Mich.
igan ports, have established re.
duced rate per ton per mile for the greater
distance from Chicago to all stations un.
til they reach st. Peter, Minn., n distance
OF 42O miles; that in some instances the
increase OF rates is very large, in violation
of section 1 OF the interstate act, and
thereby undue preferences and advantages
are given to certain towns and stations to
the great prejudice OF competing towns, in
violation OF section of the interstate act.
The railroad companies, while in SUBJ
stance admitting the facts stated in the
petition, claimed that they constituted no
violation OF the interstate law; that by
reason OF less volume OF transportation
and greater expense in operating these
lines OF road west OF Mankato. Minn.,
they are justified in changing the increase
per ton per mile for longer distance.
Speeches were made by Gen. Pope Mr..
Coudy, Col. Howe and Mr.. Birmingham,
and the commission took the case under
advisement.

Mr.. Gray declined to sit because some
members OF his family are interested in the

Lamar did not participate for the reason
that he was not a member oi the court
when the Gaze was argued. 1t seems hard

decision can be secured during the re.
mainder OF the life of the original Bell pat

company, however, is said to be
that it owns q great many valuable inven-

to general use and that when the present
main patent shall expire. it will be able to
introduce new devices, which will give it a
tremendous advantage over competitors.
