J.B. RICE,S RETIREMENT.
How 1t Is Regarded by People in
ST. Cloud.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Dec. 16-The re-
tirement of ]. B. Rice as superintend-
ent of the Fergus Falls division and
the transfer of F. H. Britton, Havre,
Mont, of the Montana division to sue
ceed him, is not so surprising to those
who have watched the trend of affairs
on the Great Northern for the past few
months. 1t is a noticeable fact that all
the places of responsibility at the new
Melrose terminal have been filled with
new men, from the clerks to the train
master. The large number of new en-
ployes of all classes that were hired
at one time led to the suspicion that all
of the old employees might expect dis
misSal. Many of them were dismiss
ed, but always for cause, and the large
increase of the force was readily eX-
planned by the large increase in traffic.
But the fact, nevertheless, remained
that the old men continued to drop by
the wayside. The many green hands
of the road have caused considerable
trouble, and many of the wrecks that
have lately occurred have been attri-
buted to them. This state of affairs
is said to have been called to a tempo
rary halt by orders from headquarters,
and as result, some of the older en-
ployes have been promoted. Whether
this change IN policy is to continue,
however, remains to be seen. 1t is
said that Mr.. Rice's retirement is due
to the fact that he has not dealt as Sc
verely with the old men on the system
as was desired in certain quarters.
The dismissal of Assistant Superin-
tendent G. c. Ponsonby, which took
place a few weeks ago, is laid directly
at the door of the general manager,
and the reasons that are currently
assigned as prompting that official to
discharge his subordinate were other
than purely the betterment of the SER
vice. The story connected with it is
said to be quite an old one in official
circles on the Great Northern. Be tina.
as it may, the cordiality and good feel
ing that is so pleasant to behold be-
tween the employer and the employe
seems to be sadly lacking between the
general manager of the Great North
ern and the old employees on the sys-
tenn. Reports from other division points
also seem to indicate that before long
the Great Northern will have it's train
crews made up entirely of men who
will be comparatively new in the COM
pany's service. In the meantime, all
the old men who were in any way af-
filiated with the A. R. U. are rapidly
disappearing in the general shake-up,
and If Debs should want to find a
branch on the system a few months
hence he would undoubtedly have to
use a powerful spy glass to convince
himself that the order had not disap-
peared as mysteriously and as quickly
as it sprung into existence on the
Great Northern.

NO GROUNDS FOR PROTEST.
Passenger Men Say Thespians Are
Given Good Rates

Given Good Rates.
w. T. Carleton's statement, made
through the press, that the action of
the local railroads, especially the st.
Paul-C Chicago lines, in getting together
on an agreement to refuse special rates
to theatrical companies, will have the
effect of preventing many first-class
attractions from making the Twin
Cities has brought out a vigorous dis
claimer from some of the st. Paul-Chi-
cago passenger men, while others re-
gard the case as being one where a
manager has been disappointed in not
securing the same low rate as on some
former occasion owing to the passenger
agreement. whenever the passenger
men get together" a Chicago official
said yesterday to the G o b e, land
agree to stop cutting rates howl goes
up from somebody who has been given
a low rate at some previous time and
is disappointed because he has to pay
two cents a mile.
1.-The Western roads have in effect
two-cent rate for parties of ten, pro-
vided the people travel together, and
that is the best they can do.
"Of course before the agreement went
into effect some line may have made
rate Of one and seven-eighths cents,
and under the circumstances some 9TH
er theatrical man would naturally dis
like to pay two cents.
Most companies are doing well and
are satisfied to pay this last named
rate in the Northwest. Mr.. Carleton
argues that anybody can get a two
cent rate by purchasing mileage. That
is true, but in order to get this book
and this rate he must put up $50.
mo, this whoop is sent up perennial
ly and does not command much atten-
ton from the railroad men who are in
hopes that by their agreement they
will be able to maintain tariff rates for
the business they receive"

ANTHRACITE MEN.
They Have Not Agreed on Re-
strictinE Output.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-It can be stat
ed on the authority of the presidents of
all the larger anthracite coal railroads
that the matter of restricting the pro-
duction three days a week has not been
definitely acted upon. President J.
Rogers Maxwell, of the New Jersey
Central, reiterated the statemets made
by other representative officials on this
point today.
The more conservative companies,
in default of an agreement being
reached, will confine their sales to fig
ures that at least will insure their
getting back new dollar for an old
one. The financial community was
disposed to accept without qualifica-
ton the first announcement of the con-
sidera ton to restrict the tonnage to
a three working days weekly basis, as
likely to curtail production to the
needs of the market. AS a matter Of
fact the three days a week plan has
rarely been lived up to, even when
agreed upon, and the companies, owing
to the adoption of methods familiar
in the trade, have at times demon

WINGED BY A JUDGE.
Chief Justice SnOdgrass, of Ten
nessee, Uses a Pistol.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 16.-
Chief Justice D. L. Snodgrass, of the
supreme court Of Tennessee, shot and
painfully injured Lawyer John r.
Beasly, in the law office of Congress-
man Brown in this city, a few minutes
before noon today. Judge Snodgrass
entered the law office to see Mr. Spur
lock, who is a partner of the congress-
man. Mr.. Beasly was sitting at the
desk and the judge, walking up to him,
denounced an article in this morn
ing's Times, which appeared over his
(Beasly's) signature, as lie. Mr..
Beasly protested that it was the truth.
They came to blows and Judge Snod-
grass drew pistol and shot at Beas-
ly twice. One ball entered the left
arm near the wrist and came out near
the elbow. The other ball lodged in
the ceiling.
The charges made by Beasly In his
card to the Times were to the effect
that the supreme court rendered a de-
cision in the railroad debt case of the
state from political standpoint, not
from justice. The shooting has crea-
ted great excitement. Judge Snod-
grass went before Justice Tom Cow
art and waived trial, and upon giving
a $1,000 bond was released.

most Of the companies show a DISPOSE
ton to get together and an effective
understanding as to restriction might
readily be reached. The publicat ton of
the Reading reorganization plan to-
day may exert some influence on the
situation. Only strong measures will

THE WORST RUSH OVER.
Wheat Shipments Are NOrmaI-Car
Shortage.

The bulk of this years wheat crop
intended for market at the present
time or in the near future has been

the officials whose duties would seem
to give them opportunity to possess
inside knowledge on the subject.
All danger of any serious blockade
resulting from a shortage of cars in

some of the lines running through
the wheat country still have demand
for all the cars obtainable and ex
