NOTICE 70 THE IRON ROADS
RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS Will
ADJUST THEIR
RATES
THERE IS NO SUIT PENDING
But the Rates Must BE Brought Into
Conformity With the Orders Re-
Gently Issued-Chairman
RingdaI Speaks.

The presence of Secretary Tiesberg, of
the state railroad and warehouse com
mission, in Duluth yesterday, led to the
report that the commission is about
TO institute a suit against the iron ore
roads, in fact, that the suit actually
mad its conception yesterday morning.
The rather sensational rumor said that
chairman P. M. Ringdal, Of the commits
sion, had ordered the suit brought.
Asked about the affair last night Mr.
Ringdal, somewhat amused at the story,
explained that there was no suit pending,
threatened or being planned against the
railroads carrying iron ore from the
mines on the range. Secretary Tiesberg
was in Duluth yesterday, but not
tor the purpose of serving notice of q
suit on any individual or corporation.
Some two years ago, as will be recalled.
a suit was brought against these roads by
the former commission. 1t had rather
sensational career finally termina ting
without satisfactory settlement This
matter had no connection with the mis-
sion of Mr.. Tiesberg yesterday His
BUSINESS at the Zenith City was to serve
notice upon the iron ore roads, so-callei
that on the I'D inst. there would be a
hearing of the matter of adjustment of
their rates held in this city, but this
hearing does not in any sense partake of
the form or nature of a suit and there IS,
according to the statement of Chairman
Rlngdal, no such action in process.
Last January the commission sent out
notices to the roads that hearings would
be held at which would be considered the
readjustment of merchandise and grain
rates. The grain rates were considered
and disposed of first, and then the merch-
andise rates were taken up, and not until
Oct. did the commission complete its
work upon that class of business The
original intention of the commission was
to make the scope of their order broad
enough to include the rates upon iron ore,
so that this character of freight was in
ivolved in the original notice sent out for
the readjustment of merchandise rates
so appear to Frank Kellogg, attorney fer
the Duluth & Iron Range road, ard prob
ably others, and after the last hearing
had been held Mr. Kellogg stated to the
commission that he had held q different
construction. The commission had had its
hands full attending to the grain and
merchandise rates up TO that time anyway,
and could not, If it had desired. have
found time to devote to the arrangement
of the iron ore rates, so there was really
nothing lost. In order, therefore, to give
Mr. Kellogg ard his clients due notice
of hearing to be held on their ra ties the
commission deemed it best to serve a sep
arate and distinct notice upon them,
that no misunderstanding might ensue.
This was the purpose for which Secretary
Tiesbers went to Duluth yesterday.
This hearing, as has already been
stated, will be held in St. Paul Nov. 20.

IN HANDS OF THE JURY
CLOSING ARGUMENTS IN ANOKA's
MURDER MYSTERY FINISHED
LAST NIGHT
MAY NOT REACH A VERDICT
Contradictory Testimony offered by
the Wise Girls and and Defend
ants Witnesses Makes the
Case Hard to Forecast.

ANOKA, Mimi, Nov. 10-The most SEN
sational murder trial of recent years in
which James Hardy and Elmer Miller,
mere boys, are the defendants, went to
the jury tonight James A. Peterson,
for the state finished his closing address
this morning, and Mr.. Wyman, for the
defense, occupied the afternoon. A dis
agreement is generally expected.
Mr.. Petersons argument was q very
plain, matter-of-fact appeal, based on
the evidence which was volumlnously
quoted at frequent intervals. There was
no attempt at rhetoric, nothing at all
ornamental. The deductions from the
evidence were often ingenious, but sell
dom convincing. The argument was
largely an effort to convince the jury
that Martha and Eliza Wise had told
the truth and that Allie Preston, who
corroborated them in stating that Mil
Ter had offered him money to assist
in the crime, was an mistaken witness
to the guilt of the accused. The wit
nesses for the defense were characteriz-
ed as perjuries and some of them as
drunkards. Mr.. Peterson held that the
confusion on the stand of many witnesses
for the defense had plainly shown their
unreliability and indicated a con-time to
the benefit Of the defendants.
The counsel adVertetl to the impression
which had been spread abroad that con-
Viction for crime was not to be had in
Anoka county, and this he believed to be
a false impression. But he told the jury
that if it acquitted Miller and Hardy that
impression would be so strengthened that
to dissipate it would be difficult. He
lauded the officials of the county, repre-
scented by County Attorney Pratt and
Sheriff Miller, as high-minded, consci-
entious men, working for the best inter
ests of the community in which they
lived under the sanctity of their official
oaths. 1t was beyond human conception
that these gentlemen had conspired to
gether for the purpose of sending Miller
and Hardy to the gallows as sacrificed
lambs. He believed that every one who
heard the testimony had concluded in his
inner consciousness that the defendants
were guilty of the crime charged against
them, and with belief in the integrity ana
impartial honesty Of the twelve men in
the box he submitted his case to then
hands for analysis and a verdict.
Mr.. Wyman, for the defense, laid es-
pecial stress or the strength of the evil
dence showing the boys presnce at the
ball game and their subsequent return
nome having rendered 1t Impossible for
them to visit the Wise home Oh the
night the family was murdered.

WESTERN UNION
HENRY FRENZ DIES SUDDENLY
Called for Glass of Beer. but Fell
Dead Before He Took 1t From
the Bar - News of
Minneapolis.

Judge Lochren has set aside the verdict
and ordered a new trial in the case of
Frank NJ. Nye, the attorney, against the
Western Union Telegraph company. Mr..
Nye secured a verdict Of $500 for alleged
libel for transmitting two kilograms filed
by w. H. Vanderburg, recently Demo-
cratic candidate for congress.
The kilograms were sent from New
York in 1899, and were addressed to NJ. H.
BOutelle and Mr. Nye. In them Mr..
Vanderburg made some reflections on the
political integrity of Mr. Nye.
On the trial the jury was instructed
that there was nothing upon the face Of
the Boutelle telegram to advise the serv-
ants of the defendants who received and
transmitted it that it was defamatorv:
rs the statement that Nye was bought
OH by Pillsbury in 1896 might well be
understood to refer to a purchase of
some claim or interest of Nye respecting
property or property rights; and that
plaintiff could not recover upon said first
sount. But the court refused to dismiss

could not cash a due bill They repaired
TO an attorneys office, but as the lawyer
thought the due bill was off he called
up police headquarters, and Inspector
Morrlssey was put to work on the case.
Morrlssey could not find anything wrong
with the transaction; IN fact he found
that Bertrand was very angry because
the police had been mixed up in the
matted, So the affair was dropped

TO BENEFIT BY EXCHANGE.
Great Northern and Union Pacific
Coming to Terms.

COHhhsAkS ~
A movement is one foot between the
Great Northern and the Union Pacific
roads to effect a more extensive ex-
change of business, both freight and
passenger. The preliminary contract for
such a traffic arrangement has been
drawn up and sent to the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company for their approval. If these two
companies approve the contract, which
is quite probable, the agreement will be
placed in operation very soon.
The details of this contract We're p~ac-
tically agreed upon by Vice President
Miller of the Great Northern and Gen
eral Traffic Manager Munroe, Of the
Union Pacific. General Passenger Agent
Whitney, of the Great Northern and Mr.
LomaX, who holds a similar position with
the Union Pacific, considered the pas
senger agreement part of the contract.
The Omaha system. which is closely
related to the Union Pacific. will be eff
fected by this agreement and the APP
prevail of that company was obtained
yesterday, before the preliminary con-
tract was forwarded to the other COM
panies. The Omaha's claim upon the
new interchangeable business VIII be
paramount to that of the Great Northern,
which will come second, increasing it's
share of the business heretofore deriv-
ed through this channel.
For some time past the Great Northern
has been considering the plan of getting
its traffic through Sioux City and Omaha
to Union Pacific points and this agree
ment will put into opera ton this plan.
All freight traffic from the Twin Cities
moving to Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas,
etc, can now go to the Union Pacific
over the Wilmar & Sioux Falls and the
return freight can be handled over the
same line. The advantages of this ar
rangement are sure to be proftab1y felt
by the Great Northern.
