decided for the Pullman company in the con-
tention Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road over the accounting of expenses In the
operation Of Pullman cars on the road of the
latter company. The contract provided for a
division of the profits, after the payment of
expenses. The Pullman company, in making
up the expenses of the cars, divided the gross
sum of car expenses, such as laundry, soap,
ETC., by the total number Of cars in the
United States. The Chicago Milwaukee &
st. Paul refused to use such method, and in
sisted that the accounting of each car should
be kept separate. Judge Grosscup held that

its supplies in large quantities for the use Of
the cars a better business system than
buying in a small way for each car, or of
keeping an account for each car.

The Question VIII Be Definitely De-

Says About 1t.

The joint court house and city hall
commission, along with the board of
county commissioners, is at present
giving attention to the consideration Of
the present lighting and heating plant
of the court house, city hall and county
Jail, which is at present provided for
by the Edison Heat and Light company,
of ST. Paul. The position of the county
board is to the effect that quite a few
hundred dollars can be saved by using
a plant in the court house and city
hall basement. Last night a prominent
member of the board of county COM
misSiOners said the board has deter
mined that it will, within the next two
weeks, advertise for bids for heating
and lighting the city hall and court
house, and also the county jail build
ing. He said it was the intention of
the board to give this matter careful
attention, and said it made little differ
ence if there were a few hundred dol
lars difference, it was the intention of
the board to use the plant now idle,
and give number of people employ
ment. A majority of the commission is
ia favor of using the city's plant.

against the granting of a license to

Aldermen Sanborn and Allard were
in favor of the application being re-
fused on the ground that the bond and
application was defective, in that the
particular room in which the liquor was
to be sold was not described according
to the statute. This will necessitate
the making of new application, and
the place will not be opened for at

Parody ON the Foraker Pooling Bill
Presented.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-senator Chandler
On. HI today introduced in the senate q
bill in the nature of an amendment to Sen
ator Foraker's railroad pooling bill. 1t is
entitled: "A bill abOlishing competition in
trade and production, and authorizing COM
binations to enable merchants, manufactur-
ers and producers of commodities, subject to
interstate commerce, to maintain prices and
make profits notwithstanding business de-
pressions." The body of the bill declares
that it shall be unlawful for different and
competing merchants, manufacturers and 9TH
producers of commodities which are or
may be the subjects of Interstate commerce, to
enter into any contract, agreement ar
rangement for the division or apportionment
among themselves with others III like
business, OF the whole or any of their gross
or net earnings, or for the limitation or
restriction Of production in their business,
or for the fixing Of the prices Of commo-
dities by the order or recommendation Of
representatives designated behalf of the
various parties to any contract or agreement
or arrangement, or by the order or recommen-
dation Of the majority of such representa-
tiVes or for the maintenance Of prices of
commodities once fixed or for the enforce
ment of any such contract by fines and pen
alties imposed upon any Of the parties there
to- and each day of the continuance of any
such contract shall be deemed a separate Of
tense; provided, however that under the
conditions named in the bill, it shall be law
full for such merchants, manufacturers and
producers, whether they are persons or cor
porations to enter into such contracts, agree
ments or arrangements, which shall be en-
forceable between the parties thereto
The bill then gives the interstate commerce
commission supervision over the business
done by merchants, manufacturers and other
producers, under agreements made in pur-
suance Of the authority given by this bill
and by the interstate commerce act.
The body of the Foraker pooling bill is
adopted by Senator Chandler, but for words
used in the railroad business he substitutes
throughout the bill words used in manufact-
not press this bill unless an effort was made
to pass the pooling BILL allowing railroads
to combine" In that he would urge this
as an amendment to the pooling bill. If
congress abolished railroad competition, said
the senator, it might as well abolish all
other competition.

FIRST DUNBAR COLONY.
Max Bass Tells How They Have Pros
ueFed,

pered.
immigration Agent Max Bass Of the Great
Northern, was at the Merchants last night
on his way back to Chicago after seeing his
last colony OF Dunkards safely through to
their homes in North Dakota While on this
last trip Mr.. Bass visited the first colony
Of Dunkards that he ever established at
Cando n. d. In speaking Of 1t last night
he said: Seven years ago the land on
which Cando is built was as wild bit of
prairie man ever saw, but the ground
was fertile and we selected it as a site for
a colony. Now, on that same ground, there
is established of the most fourishing
colonies that you will find in the whole
United States. One would think when he
gets off the train that he had found a Penn
sylvania city transplanted to the wilds of
North Dakota, and he would not be far
from right for the people are almost all
from that state, and in the building of their
new home they have fashioned after the old
one with but one change; they have incor-
porated the word prosperity in the new char
ter, and that is something that was never
well-to-do in every way. The farmers in
the surrounding country are growing rich
and these same farmers are the ones who
labored for years back in Pennsylvania on
little farms Of twenty acres. Now they own
all the way from 200 to 1000 acres and the
land did not cost them much more than
the twenty acres did back East"
Mr.. Bass says that spring is coming very
soon in the Dakotas. The snow is now
nearly all gone, and a week more will see the
last OF It. He predicts that the farmers of
these two states will during the coming sea-
son. raise the biggest crops in their history.

Lament today, sad the accord of the powers

peace and prevent massacres. There were
large crowds present when parliament was
opened. The king was accompanied by the
crown prince, Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of
Naples, and his majestys nephews, the Duke
of Aosta. the Count of Turin and the Duke
Of Abbruzzi. and by the Duke of Genoa his
cousin. The queen, the Princess of Naples,
the Duchess of Aosta and the Duchess of
Genoa with their suites, witnessed the GER
emony from the gallery reserved for them
All the foreign diplomats were present.
After TIE new members had been sworn
in, his majesty delivered the speech from the
throne. His majesty said in part: Faithful
to our alliances, l congratulate myself upon
the cordial relations existing with all the
powers. When Italy united her efforts to
those of the concert Of Europe, in accordance
with the dictates of duty, she brought loyal
cooperation to maintaining peace and to the
care of Italian interests. The blessings of
peace permit parliament to devote itself to
internal reforms and the stability Of our
military organization, which the government
desires to see finally perfected"

somewhat of a balloon, but the captain has
given an earnest of his good faith by sending
to the Minneapolis and Duluth milers a
startling proposition He has proposed to the
mlllers that they contract with him for all
the flour he can carry the year round and
guarantee him a certain tonnage per annum
Tor five years. Just what figures were asked
is not known. Just what terms he offered are
not known, but the millers have made counter
propositions to him which is in effect that
the captain can have three years ccStract,
during what is called the closed navigation
season, at little less than the lowest pre-
vatling rate to Buffalo by rail. The present
rate to Buffalo by rail is 2012 cents per hun
dred, and at this rate the net profit to the
captain per trip would be over so. 00O
This would be profitable shipping for
the captain. During the summer months the
captain would enter his boats in the general
competition for lake trade, keeping the boats
in use all the year. 1t is reported that three
lake shipbuilding firms are making figures on
the boats.
