Dickey decided to locate the blame, so
he swore out a warrant for the arrest
of D. Fl. Robbins, clerk of the district
and Sheriff Claggett was dispatched to
the lake. Mr.. Robbins was brought to
Princeton Monday afternoon and Tues
day was tried before Judge Dickey.
The defense alleged that smelling
committee had taken the books from
the defendant at the July school meet
ing and therefore he was deprived of
his records from which to make a re-
port. An examination of the books
showed that there was no record of the
points required in the report con-
tanned in them and Judge Dickey
couldn't see how the absence of such
records could be pleaded as mitigat-
ing circumstance, so he levied fine
of $50 and costs upon the negligent Of
fetal. The case will be appealed to
the district court.

The Recent Decision of the Supreme
Court in the Stevenson
=
Rate Case.
A St. Cloud Attorney Appears to Have
Caught on to the Drift of
...
the Decision.

IA newspaper mans ideas of what is
and what is not good stuff is pretty
generally fairly accurate" remarked
Attorney Geo. w. Stewart in conversa-
tion with a Journal-Press reporter last
night. ''But want to suggest an ex-
ception in the case of the treatment by
the press of this State of the recent de-
cision by our supreme court in what is
known as the Stevenson rate case
With possibly one exception, all the
leading newspapers of Minnesota have
made only the briefest mention of
probably the most important decision
ever handed down from our supreme
bench. The case involved an appeal
by the Great Northern railroad COM
pany from the action of the railroad
commissioners of this State in reduc-
ing certain freight charges as excessive
between a point in the Red River val
ley and Duluth. The district court of
Ramsey county found for the railroad
company and now the supreme court
has reversed the lower court and sent
the case back for a retrial This does
not mean anything, however, for the
railroad company made it's great fight
in the first case and the supreme court
has said that it did not have leg to
stand on.
First, the court says that the mat
ter of fixing rates is an administrative
and not a judicial function. Second,
that the freight rates is conclusive,
with the commissioners unless it can
be proven by the railroad companies,
that such rates are confscatory of
their property. Third, that it is not
confscatory when such rates will pay
five per cent on the present value of
their main lines and two per cent on
the terminals and all the operating
charges.
''The practical effect of all this is to
accomplish what a great many people
have been trying and that is to squeeze
the water and foam from the stocks
and bonds of railroad companies, so
that the people will have to pay only a
reasonable rate of interest on the act
ual present worth of the railroad
plants. In other words, the supreme
court does indirectly what the legisla-
lures for the past sixteen years have
been attempting to do directly, and
have ANONYMOUSLY failed. In its eff
feet upon the people at largeit is the
most important decision ever made by
the court for it affects them all. If
the railroad companies 60 ahead and
and carry out the law as declared by
our supreme court it will result in the
bankruptcy and reorganization of every
railroad in the State of Minnesota. -

Rigid Search Fails to Locate Him and
Foul Play is Feared.
W. HSSkemp, prominent lawyer of
Cloquet, Mimi, has been missing since
Saturday morning a week ago. His
friends have become so alarmed over
his absence that party of them came
to Minneapolis Saturday to look him
up. -, sa~..~ 49, - -
Mr.. Skemp came to this city on bust
ness, accompanied by a friend. The
two ate dinner at Regan's restaurant,
Fourth street. between Nicollet and
Hennepin avenues. They went to ST..
Paul in the afternoon and became
separated. After leaving the restaur-
ant Skemp told his friend that he had
left his overcoat in the restaurant.
When he missed his companion the
friend came back to the restaurant
Saturday evening to see if he had
called for the coat and after leaving
Skemp's address left, saying that bust
ness required his immediate return. to
Cloquet.
Some one, supposedly Skemp, called
at the restaurant Monday morning and
secured the coat. Since then he has
not been heard from. He is known to
have been drinking and his friends are
fearful that he has met with foul play.

all to the house or the place where the
