The Decision Of the Attorney
General Will Keep None
at Home.
Lists OF the Several State
Delegations Received at
the Capitol.
Intention to Carry the Coal
Case to the Federal
Grand Jury.


Nelson has received, as has been ex-
planned in these columns, favorable re-
plies from nearly all the states in the
Union to his request to have delegates
appointed to attend the gathering.
Several of these states have forwarded
to him the list of delegates that have
been named by the respective govern
orS, and enough is shown to prove that
the antitrust and combine convention
will be very formidable affair, so far
as it can be estimated from numerical
standpoint.
The question has been frequently
| raised, however, by the most Jealous
eXponents of the crusade against these
iniquitous combines that there is great
danger of delegating people who are not
in sympathy and accord with the move
| ment, and that, consequently, coat of
whitewash will be applied. But the
Minnesota delegation will be headed by
| the redoubtable IgnatiuS Donnelly, who
has already given demonstration of his
fearless opposition to the coal combine.
His voice will surely be heard in con-
demnation of anything that will asSimi-
late palllatl0n.
A few days ago some doubt was ex-
pressed concerning the probability of
Minnesota's delegates attending the
convention, for the reason that there is
no available means for defraying the
expenses that must be incurred. The
attorney general, it must be recalled,
gave the opinion, and it is fortified by
the provisions of the state constitution.
that the csncurrent resolution of the
state legislature was not sufficient to
appropriate the money needed for the
purpose, and it was by a joint reSofu-
tion, rather than bill, that the appro-
priation was made. This left the dele
gates to pay their own expenses. and it
is now understood that they have all
volunteered to do just that very thing.
OF course, it will not be a very difficult
thing to go before the next Legislature
and secure the passage of measure to
reimburse them, should they accom-
plisb the desired object establish a
movement that will present specific
for the iniquity.
The nearness of the convention, to-
gether with the agitation that attends,
naturally, the preparations for the
event thatiS to emphasize the leader
ship of Minnesota i'll the movement, has
set the members of the Legislative COM
nitttae that devoted so much time and
energy in unearthing the combine last
winter to thinking of the proposed
prosecution of the leaders OF the COM
bine in Minnesota. A member of the
committee stated to a GLOBE reporter
yesterday. that he felt no particular
encouragement because of the refusal
the Ramsey county grand jury to re-
turn any indictments against Rhodes
and his coadjutorS in the coal
hirl q col har Itv lln
had anticipated that result. What
he proposes now is to bring the mat
ter directly into the United States dis
trict court, and have the promoters and
conductors of the combine tried for con-
spiracy. He called upon the governor
the other day with this IN view, and he
urged the early action of the attorney
general. The latter has all the evil
dence that was taken in the course of
the legislative Investigation, and is pre-
pared to undertake the task. At the
next session of the United States court
the case will be begun.
