AKRON LETTER.
THE AKRON PASTOR.

The excellent sermon in The UNIvER-
sALIsT by Bro. Thompson reminds me
OF the fact that this able and thoughtful
preacher is doing some work in this d.
rection that is exceptionally good. The
discourse is by no means lone star per-
Torrance, the effort of lifetime, for
Bro. Thompson has barrel full of just
such ones. He has way Of preaching
good sermons and we never go to church
expecting anything else.
1t is safe to say that there are few pull
pits in our denomination more ably and
completely filled than that Of the Akron
church at the present time. And it is
a question whether he excels most as a
pastor or a preacher. For there is no
department of church interest that he
does not foster and direct, and his per-
sistent, cheerful disposition and his
Christian temper and manliness seem to
be able to cope with all the difficulties
that confront the minister and the par
ish. The church that does not appreci-
ate a man of this stamp deserves moth
ing.

ONE QUEER HUSBAND.
MAKES SENSATIONAL CHARGES
AGAINST HIS WIFE
IN A SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Brought by Third Party for
Defamation of Character-Wife
Not Allowed to Testify.

The suit of John P. Borg against
Algot Peterson, to recover $1,000 for
defamation of character, was on trial
in Judge Kerr's court yesterday, and
went to the jury last night with in
structions to return a sealed verdict
in favor of the plaintiff, the amount
to depend upon the judgment of the
Jury as to the measure of the injury.
The case is a peculiar one in that 1t
grows out of a charge publicly made
by Peterson on divers occasions that
the plaintiff was intimate with de-
PENDANTS wife, with whom the de-
PENDANT continued to live. He charged
that Borg had even gone to his house
and gained entrance by means of false
keys and occupied the couch to which
Mrs Peterson, according to her mar
rage vows, should have admitted no
living mortal but her hubby.
Peterson admitted that he had made
the charges, and attempted to justify
them by going on the witness STAND
and testifying to what he knew about
the alleged illicit relations. But In
this he made a fat failure, as the limit
of his knowledge was nothing more
serious than having seen his wife and
plaintiff in a cellar together once or
twice, and seeing them emerge from
a barn together On another occasion.
Mrs. Peterson took the stand to tes-
tify that there was no truth in the
charges her husband made against
Borg, but she was not allowed to bear
witness against her husband. Borg is
a Widower with a large family.

ARE STILL CONFERRING
MINNESOTA AND DAKOTA LEG
ISLATIVE COMMITTEES
PROVIDE FOR A MEASURE
Calling for Il Horizontal Reduc-
ton of Freight Rates on
Wheat and Coal.

The committees on freight rates of the
Minnesota and North Dakota legisla-
lures held two conferences today at
the capitol General Counsel Grover,
of the Great Northern, addressed the
legislators at the morning session, and
went at length into present condi-
lions affecting earnings and governing
freight rates.
He made the statement, based on sta
tistics produced before the committee,
that the Great Northern lines in Min
nesota are not paying to exceed 6 per
cent on the cost of the road and equip
ment; further, that the Dakota branch
es of the system do not pay to exceed
per cent on one-tenth of the cost of
construction and operation.
Afterward one of the North Dakota
men said he believed the statement was
true of that portion of the road west of
Minot, but he could hardly figure out
a loss on the lines east of that point.
The commissioners held an afternoon
meeting, at which the situation and
talk was reviewed in an informal way.
On motion of Senator Burke, of North
Dakota, the secretary was instructed
to formulate bill providing for hori-
zontal reduction of rates on wheat and
coal of 10 per cent from the present
rates 1t wasI understood that this
would be about a fair reduction. The
committee also decided to meet again
In Bismarck next Tuesday, when the
bill will be formally passed upon, with
a view of introduction in the legisla-
ture of that state, as we'll as here.
The view was expressed by some OF
the members that if they waited until
the railroads should be satisfied moth
ing would ever be done. Some of the
members from this state objected to
going to Bismarck until they were as
sured that they would not be again be-
sieged with railroad attorneys. 1t is
understood that their reason for going
there for the next meeting is to get
away from the railroad attorney in
huence. Some of the members are in
favor Of pursuing an active course, and
think that the time is ripe for doing
some effective legislation on railroad
rates. They seem to have lost faith in
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, and think the only relief is to
come through direct legislation.

CAMPBELL. IS HOME.
He Explains the Cause of His
Defeat.


Marshal Campbell returned yester-
day and was seen by GLOBE report
er. Asked as to the causes when pro-
cured his rejection by the senate he
said there was nothing or but little to
add to his interview wired from Wash
ington. otis the direct result of the in
f1uence of J. J. Hill with the Minnesota
senator's" the marshal announced,
"aided in a slight degree by Mr.. Doran
and Mr. Lawler, who were there to
aid in defeating my confirmation and
securing the appointment of their
friend, O'Connor. I can't understand
why Mr.. Doran should say, as he was
reported here as saying, that he did
nothing to defeat me, because, in fact,
both he and LAWYER were doing all they
could against me. Senator Hill in
formed me that Lawler was opposing
me. They would have had no effect
whatever had it not been for Jim Hill
and his pull with Davis and Wash
burn. If this is not so, it must have
been because my character and repu-
tation were such as to warrant the op-
position of these two senators. l am
a victim of senatorial courtesy the
other senators bowling to the oppos1-
ton of the two from here. 1t is a mat
ter of no Importance to the people who
is marshal, provided he is capable and
reputable, but it is a matter of great
deal of Importance to them when
railroad magnate can compel their
senators to yield obedience to his
wishes. AS to the specific charge made
by Hill against me, it cut no figure
whatever, every senator L talked with
assuring me that it amounted to moth
ing, as I met it freely and satisfactor-
ily."

Charities Conference Dis
cusses the Street Boy

AND FORMULATES A BILL
Requiring Newsboys and
Bootbl acks Uuder 16 to
Be Licensed.
AND FORMULATES A BILL
REAL SMALL BOY SHUT OUT.
The Boys Must Be Well Edu-
Gated and Go to Sun Csl
School.

The conference of citizens called
yesterday afternoon at the Com
mercial club by the Associated Char
tiles and in the interest of street
boys discussed a bill to license
newsboys and bootblacks, and ap-
bill and press it's passage by the
legislature. A number of prominent
ladies and gentlemen were present.
D. r. Noyes presided, while ]. F.
Jackson acted as secretary.
Rev. P. Savage presented the draft
of the bill which prohibits boys under
sixteen from backing boots, selling
newspapers, or peddling, upon the
streets of cities having more than 10000
Inhabitants, without first procuring a
license from the mayor, and without
wearing an official badge. These per-
mits are to be issued on application of
the boys parent or guardian, to boys
of good moral character, over twelve
years of age, and who can read and
write simple English, preference being
given to needy cases. The permits
must be renewed every three months,
and the badges will be of a different
color each quarter. The mayor can re-
woke or refuse to issue a permit, if the
boys are found, drinking, gambling or
indulging in any vicious habits, or if
the parent or guardian becomes intern
perate. The permit is to be in force
not later than p. m. each day, and
not during the ordinary hours of the
be issued to boys between 10 and II,
and, to limited extent, for use during
school hours. in cases where persons
are dependent upon the boys for sup
port. All police officers are charged
with the enforcement of the law, as
well as agents of humane societies;
and punishment for it's violation is to
be inflicted upon both the boys and the
parent, as the case may be.
The provisions of the bill met with
warm and general commentator, but
D. 7. Wellington suggested that the
limit of age be raised to eighteen, in
order to secure better control of the
older boys, who might impose upon the
younger ones. The suggestion was
adopted. The chair then appointed the
following committee to perfect the bill
in minor details, if necessary: Miss
Mary Cramsie, d. T. Wellington, H. L.
Williams, Rev. G. P. Savage, Prof. ].
L. Slack. Another and larger commit
tee will be appointed by MIR. Noyes to
present the bill before the states law
makers, and to strenuously urge it's
passage.

Hauled Up in Court on Various
Charges.
A number of petty cases Of an I'M
important character were aired before
Judge Twohy in the municipal court
yesterday. August Hesse, newsboy
of thirteen, was a prisoner on a charge
of incorrigibility preferred by his sis
ter, Louise Hesse. The boy is an or
phan, and is much inclined to vicious
habits, which greatly annoys his sis
ter Judge Twohy will pass upon the
merits of the case today.

ing Tuesday night while enjoying
themselves on Arlington hill the
youngsters collided with John Levin,
causing him to revolve like g pin

and wrecking> s2.9S Derby. The Incl
dent so annoyed him that he caused

ors.i The case was continued.
Harold Lundberg, Otto Luck and
Albert Brecht were charged with lar
ceiry by a Seventh street hardware
dealer. The boys, who were children,
could not resist the temptation offered
by three gaudily painted sleds, and
stole them. The owner relented and
the court turned the juveniles loose
with a reprimand.

August Schumacher, a German far

a. aprisoner before Judge TWohy yes
terday on charge of breaking open a
carr belonging to the st. Paul & Du-
luth Railroad company. There was
much direct evidence to connect Schu-
macker with the crime, and he was
held in default of $1,000 bail. His al
legged offense consisted in looting a
freight car of a box of druggists sun
dries shipped by the Ryan Drug COM
pany, of this city, to w. F. Thorp, of
West Duluth. The box contained a
various collection of Ayers cherry
pectoral, Garfield tea, pomatum, per-

of which was as necessary to Schu-
macker as a little red sled to United
States senator The farmer boy could
not dispose of the stuff, so he con-
cealed it in a dense forest near Garlic
ton. Occasionally he would crafty a

outfit. To this courtesy Schumacher s
predicament is traceable, as one of his
rural associates basely betrayed him.

FIRE ALARM TEST

fishing Company.
A panic prevailed for a few minutes
last evening among the large number
of people employed by the West Pub
fishing company, by an alarm of fire
issuing from the .compauy's premises.
Instantly dozens of terrorized girls
and women abruptly left the work
upon which they were engaged and
rushed pell nell from the big build
ing. Wraps and coats were neglected,
the affrighted employees thinking only
of their safety. One young lady, over
come by the excitement, promptly
tainted, and could not be resuscitated
for some minutes,
There was no fire, however, and the
alarm was sounded intentionally-a
rather playful test the West Publish
ing company makes to ascertain
whether its army of employees would
first safely secure their work from
danger in case a fire should occur.
Last nights experiment was scarcely
satisfactory.
