under the rapid s-questioning Of
the states attorney, Luetgert may
make admissions or be led into state

The crush of humanity, at the Grim
inal court building today was greater
than upon any other occasion for the
past two weeks. A report spread that
Luetgert himself would be called to
the witness stand today to- tell his
story to the jury. People by, fthe hum

the court room. Many got1Sinto the
building by telling the officers on duty
at the entrance that they were called
as witnesses in other court rooms.
Then they made frantic but unsuc-
cessful efforts to reach; the second
floor, upon which Judge Tuthill's
court room is located. Court bailiffs
shut the throng off at the stairways
leading to the court corridor, and
those who sought to reach the court
room by means of the elevator were
shot up to the sixth floor by; the ele-

part of the male victims, while the
women and girls stood at the elevator

SITUATION GETTING WORSE.
Western Reads Unable to Get To-
gethcF OA Passenger Business.


CHICAGO, Sept. 29-The meeting of
the Western lines, called for the pur-
pose of re-establishing confidence in
the passenger situation, has adjourned
without accomplishing much of any
thing. The resolution introduced at
the session yesterday providing for the
withdrawal of all excessive commits
sions, was passed in a modified FORM
and no effort will be made to stop the
large commissions that are being paid
on North Pacific coast traffic. 1t was
agreed that the excessive commissions
in the eastern part of the Western
Passenger association territory should
be Withdrawn at once, beginning to-
morrow. 1t was felt that, with the
exciting complications between the
UriO1I Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line anu with none of the transcon-
tinental roads represented at the
meeting, with the exception of the
Santa Fe, it would be useless to at
tempt to take any action regarding the
transcontinental traffic. The decision
reached today regarding commissions
will, in measure, simplify the rate
situation between Chicago and St.Paul
and Minneapolis, which has been in a
state of decentralization for so long a
time. The effort made yesterday by
the association roads to induce the
Wisconsin Central and the Great West
ern to become members of the associa-
ton was renewed today, but with no
better success.
notwithstanding the agreement Of
the Western lines on commissions to-
day the general situation between ST.
Paul and Chicago took on a turn for
the worse. 1t is said that tickets at
the reduced rate made for the conven-
tor of underwriters in Chicago is be-
ing kept up,although tNe time in which
the reduced rates wee to prevail has
passed. There seems to be a mutual
lack of confidence between the roads
which are members of the Western
Passenger association and those which
are outside that organization which
keeps the trouble on the surface all of
the time.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 29.-But one SEES
sion was held today by the convention
Of mayors and eouncilInen and that
was devoted to the reading of papers.
split is possible over the question of
municipal ownership of gas, water,
electric and traction franchises, as the
delegates are not all of one mind Many
are opposed to the convention taking
any decided stand one way or the 9TH
er. and this difference may develop
sharply, in the event of permanent or
ganization, when the election of off,
GERS is reached.
1t was II o'clock when the confer
ence was called to order this morning
The first speaker was Mayor Silas D.
Drake, of Lincoln, N. j., the boom
town that has three women delegates
from it's council here. He introduced
to the convention Mayor J. A. John
son, of Fargo, who argued for uniform
ity of state laws Pertaining to munich
pal organizations, and urged upon the
conference the forming of permanent
committee on legislation, one from
each state to formulate a plan whereby
the legislatures may make their mu-
n1c1pal legislation uniform, as to po-
lice powers, the control of the social
-gambling-and the reformation of
criminals
The appearance upon the platform of
Hon. Josiah Quincy, mayor of Boston,
was greeted with welcoming applause,
accorded no other speaker, so far. His
address was scheduled as Municipal
Affairs as Administered in Boston,"
but it's scope was much wider. 1t pre-
sented a clear analysis of the differ
ences between federal state, urban and
rural administration, and defined the
possibilities of municipal public SER
vice, as almost limitless.
With reference to Boston, the strong
point in it's municipal scheme said the
mayor, is it's vesting in it's chief execu-
tive powers almost coordinate with
those of the president of the United
States, especially the power of removal
from office of any of his appointees.
In Boston there are thirty-three heads
of departments thus under the direct
control of the mayor. The power of
removal is rarely exercised, but it's
tendency is to make the government
strong and honest.
A feature of the morning session that
aroused great interest among the
delegates was the reading of a paper
contributed by Nathan Strauss, of New
York, on "The Influence of a Pure Milk
Supply on the Death Rate of Children"
Most of the municipal officials here
were conversant only to limited ex-
tent with the work being done by Mr..
Strauss in New York Naturally they

Laborers at work on the excavations for The
remodeling of one of the Bowdoin college
dormitories were astonshed to find base
ment below the real cellar CT the structure.
The oldest attache of the college had no
recollection of the existence of the place.
The basement was divided into several apart
ments with walls of masonry. The walls
were lined with somber black, SO that the
darkness was inky. To add to the werdness
of the place there was an array of skulls Ind
skeletons arranged in fantastic disorder.
Some collins lent their dismal presence 10 the
atmosphere of death. Investigator developed

STEEL COMPANY SHUT OUT.
Demurrer OF the Receivers of the
Wisconsin Central Sustained.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept 29.-Judge
Jenkins today sustained the demurrer
of the Wisconsin Central receivers to
the intervening petition filed by the Il
linois Steel company, in the Northern
Pacific foreclosure proceedings. The
Illinois Steel company, which has a
claim amounting to $4,000, with inter-
est, has been endeavoring for the last
four years to fasten the liabilities upon
one of the companies. but up to the pre-
sent time it has not succeeded. The
effect of the decision of the court this
morning is that the Illinois Steel com
pany cannot file its intervening petition
in the suit of the Farmers Loan &
Trust company, but must begin over
again, coming in under the Wisconsin
Central foreclosure proceedings.

MILWAUKEE GOT THE PARTY.

Record.

Yesterday morning there was a
strong smell of sulphur in the air
when it became known that a party
Of Italians had been carried on the
fast mail train on the Milwaukee road
from here to Chicago for $3.50 a head
This rate caused some heart burnings
when it became known, and is the
lowest rate which has been quoted be-
tween the two cities since about twelve
years ago when the rate did get down
to 81. The whole thing appears to
have been a case of Charley horse with
the Milwaukee on the small end and
properly buncoed.
When these Italians who have been
loing railroad work on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern lines come
here on their way to Chicago they al
ways make trouble. 1t used to be the

A thing else. The first batch reached
town Tuesday and promptly visited

roads entered into a compact to let

}. er lines to fight for it. The latter got
together, and as it is understood, the
Minneapolis & st. Louis was to be
/ given this batch of seventy-ni men
at $5.75, which is just half the rate.
The strong lines held off because their
