Herald. This is a move on the part of
the officers at Chicago, who think the
| revenue from the road does not favor
| ably compare with the number of pas
| sengers carried. In other words, 1t
seems to be the impression that the
conductors are knocking down"
There are a great many honest men
serving the Rock Island railway in the
capacity of conductors, and this ap-
pears 10 be a reflection that they can
not readily forgive. a number Of con-
dUctors have recently been fired" for
cause" and many of them have been
reinstated. The discharge in every
case was the result Of reports of spot
ters," and it appears that the detectives
were not always correct.
Out of Kansas City, both east and
west Of the Missouri river, a number
of changes have recently been made,
and entirely new faces are now in
charge Of passenger trains. But the
singular phase of these changes in the
minds Of the officers is that the al
legged shortages in the cash have con-
tinued. In other words, the new men
are said TO have Immediately fell into
the practices of the old conductors.
At least that is the imputation the Of
ficials put upon them.
On many of the Rock Island trains
entering and leaving Kansas City uni
formed collectors take UP the tickets
sengers, while the conductors simply
look after the running of the trains,
see that they are on time and help the
passengers on and off at stations.
Several months ago General Mana
ger w. H. Truesdale put spoilers to
work on passenger trains on the east
ern and western divisions of the road.
The position of a spotter depends upon
his discovering that some of the men
whom he watches are dishonest.
General Manager Truesdale was not
entirely satisfied with the work Of his
detectives, and, being convinced that
the conductors were not turning in all
the money collected from passengers,
he decided recently to employ collect
ors. 1t is said that six are now at work
on the Rock Island passenger trains.
If the scheme proves successful, the
number of collectors will be increased
and the system made permanent.
The Rock Island conductors are in
dignant over the introduction Of the
ticket collectors and consider it almost
a direct charge of dishonesty.
''The Santa Fe railway tried the col
lector system a few years ago" said a
Rock Island conductor yesterday. 1T
proved to be a useless and expensive
experiment and it was abandoned.
No reason exists why a collector should
be more honest than a conductor and
should he desire to steal his chances
are better, as there is no one to watch
him. We have been watched by detec-
tives and several Of US have been dis
II
news agents. We resent the introduc-
ton of collectors on the road because
we feel it is a reflection on those of US
who are honest. Passengers think it
strange when a collector takes up their
ticket or money, and when the con-
ductor walks through the train they
look at him and think he must be a
thief. The scheme Will prove TO be
failure"

The case of the state VS.. Irene Will
Eamson-Leonard was called yesterday
morning in the district court and Judge
Dale overruled the motion filed by the
defendants for a continuation.
w. E. Stanley is assisting County At
torney Davis in the prosecution of the
case, while the defense is represented
by Anidon & Conley.
The following panel was exhausted
without being able to secure jury:
w. Mcpherson, B. S. Henry, G. St.
Denis, w. o. Hammond, John w.
sprauge. ]. L. Rathbone, w. H. Oil
phag1t, Ed. Vail, J. R Nelson, E. Ivans,
d. Vreeland, c. A Herman, R. H. Hob
son, John Peterson, w. J. Anderson,
William !Nighswonger. B. Giefer, c. Pill
man, d. z. Boone, J. o. Chamberlain
and J. P Mead.
The questions of challenge were pure
ly stereotypicalias the jurors invariably
disqualified themselves from serving by
answering the question, Have you
formed or expressed an opinion as 10
the guilt or innocence of the defend
ant?' which was answered in the af-
firmative 'Is that opinion Of such
nature as would require evidence to
remover" This was answered in the
affirmative and the juror was promptly
excused
Judge Dale then issued a venire for
fifty jurors to be returned by O'Clock
Friday morning, and the case was con-
tinued until that time
But few people believed that a jury
would be secured and there was not
a large crowd present but undoubtedly
the court room viii be taxed to its ut
most capacity on Friday by those desir-
Gus of hearing the evidence and the
new developments in the case which it
is believed will be brought out.
The defendant appeared in court and
took her seat near her father, sister
and. brother -in-law and appeared to be
much more composed than at the former
trial. She apparently weighed carefully
every word given out by either the
court, attorneys or person being ex-
amined. She looks much healthier than
at the former trial. She still has that
same wild look in her eye and an ex-
preston now you have seen me, hope
You are satisfied
She still claims that she IS innocent OF
the crime and says she does not know
who killed Leonard, and that she will
take the stand and tell all she knows
about the case. She does not accuse
her former husband of the killing now.
but says when she has told her story
all will be satisfied that she is perfectly
innocent and did not want Leonard
killed.
The jury will be brought in from the
country and it was the general opinion
of the officers that a jury would be
secured without much difficulty.

The Uuion Pacific railroad is
bankrupt corporation unable or too
dishonest to pay it's just debts. In
return for certain obligations
which it assumed it received from
Uncle Sam millions of dollars with
which to build it's road, and mil
lions Of acres of land which it has
since sold to the people at an
enormous advance over the price it
agreed to pay. But when it's obi
cations became due it practically
repudiated them and, though pos
sessed of enormous wealth has
made no effort to pay the debt. The
we'll paid attorney of such cOrpo
ration is Mr.. Thurst0n who spoke
the other evening for what he called
"honest money. The moral charac-
ter of the speech was in keeping with
the business methods of his en-
ployers. If truth told out of rela-
ton be no better than falsehOod,
then there was hardly sentence
delivered by this Union Pacific at

same kind of fairy tales for the ut
terance of which old Annanias
yielded up the ghost.

< Laundry Girls Organize.

At a meeting held last week in
the Odd Fellows hall about so OF the
girls working in the different laun-
dries of the city signed the roll and
became members of the Laundry
Workers union.
A rousing meeting was held. The
ladies showed great interest in the
movement. The members of the
Laundry Workers union have been
untiring in their efforts for some
time to get the laundresses inter-
ested, and have worked early and
late to bring about the good results.
The girls are bright and intel1i-
gent and will be valua bic acquisi-
ton to the Laundry Workers union.
At another meeting to be held
soon it is expected fully fifty more
names will be added to the list.
The intention now is to have all
the laundry workers in the city in
line on Labor Day.
The speakers at the mass meeting
were Organizer Nichols. George G.
Findley, John Hayes and Mrs. S. G.

Comedy at the Pavilion.
MONDAY, AUG. 18TH Commences
WEEK OF ROARING COMEDY.

MONDAY, AUG. 18th COMMENCES
WEEK OF ROARING COMEDY.
New life has been awakened in
the breasts of the Duluth theatre
goers. "The Chinook" has been
playing to big houses at thePavilion
during the week which commenced
Monday Aug. 10th. The Jack Falls
tat Company, which commences
there Monday, Aug. 18th, will un-
questionably draw even larger
audiences than have yet been inside
the Pavilion.
This company was induced by
the Pavilion to stop over at Duluth
while on their way to New York,
where they will open the season.
The company has been playing on
the Pacific Coast, where the theatre
goers have gone wild over them.
All the Pacific Coast newspapers
speak in hattering terms of the ex-
cellence of their performances. It
is safe to say that there will not be
a company of comedians in Duluth
this winter that will compare with
them.
It has been decided by the man
agement of the Pavilion to change
the matinee days to Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday.
