SOAP MAY GO UP A BIT
MANUFACTURERS GET TOGETHER
They Hold a Secret Session to Dis
cuss the Stree Deal" and
May Kill 1t.

A telegram from Chicago states that
soap manufacturers and their representa-
tiyes to the number of seventy were in
secret session at the Grand Pacific hotel
all day yesterday, and that the confer
ence was continued to-day. 1t is reported
that new association Of manufacturers
is to be formed to take the place of the
one which went out Of existence some
years ago. Nearly all of the leading soap
manufacturing concerns are represented.
Since the burning of the Bradshaw
Bros. factory the Minnesota Soap COM
pany, which is represented at Chicago by
j. c.. Robb has been the only fac
tory in the twin cities to cover any large
amount of territory. An effort was made
by the big manufacturers in '99 to get to-
gether, and the smaller factories were
perfectly willing to acquiesce in any ar
rangement that would put the trade in
respectable condition and make the busi-
ness profitable. But the arrangement
failed to stick. One of the big ones cut
loose with free DEAL
The free deal" has been the hoodoo of
the soap trade since it was first tried in
the early nineties. 1t consists in selling
a certain amount of soap to the retailer
at a list price and then in throwing in a
number of extra boxes. Some of the big
soap makers say their laundry soap busi-
ness has been money loser for them for
years and that they have only been able
to recuperate their profits in the sale of
toilet soaps and of washing powders and
compounds. What affects the big factories
affects the small ones, and there is a gen
eral disposition among the manufacturers
to get together and stop the free deal Nar
On most of the standard grades it will
mean a cake or two less on 25-cent
purchase.

TAKES A BACKWARD STEP
MICHIGAN HAND GROSS EARNINGS
System of Railroad Taxation Is Re-
peaIed-What j. C. Haynes
Found.

While the people of Minneapolis are
pretty unanimously agreed that the gross
earnings system of taxing railroads is a
fine thing and that the rate only needs to
be increased to make it the next thing
to perfect, over in Michigan it seems
that they are just as fixed in their minds
that the gross earnings system is a fail
ure and that the state should go back
TO the OLD system of taxing railroad prop
erty the same as any other j. G. Haynes
has just returned from a visit at Lansing.
in that state, where he found the legisla-
ture in session and apparently as much
interested in proposition to repeal the
gross earnings law in that state as the
people in Minnesota are in increasing the
rate here.
From all l could learn during my
brlef stay at Lansing" said Mr. HAYNES
this morning, ''the people are very much
In earnest in this matter. They voted
on a constitutional amendment last fall
giving the legislature the authority to
displace the gross earnings law, and
adopted 1T by tremendous majority. The
Legislature now proposes to give them
what they want, let the consequences be
what they may
The Michigan gross earnings law has
differed from ours in Minnesota in that
the rate is graduated according to the
amount OF earnings instead of being a
fiat rate, as here. For some reason or
other it has given great dissatisfaction
to the people and they have been clamor-
ing loudly for its repeal. 1 suppose the
chief objection to it is that it releases
the railroads from the burdens of local
taxation. l told some OF the members of
the legislature whom l met that in my
opinion they were taking a step distinct
ly backward in doing away with he gross
earnings law in favor of the old-fashioned
and thoroughly discredited system of ad
valorem taxation. They agreed with me.

people was too strong to resist"

of education at Manila, the names of sew
eral graduates from the university and

the fall. President NOrthrop thinks there
is god prospect for teachers in the new

FIRST BAPTIST ELECTION
Selection of a Treasurer Deferred
Another Meeting to BE Called.

At the annual meeting of the First Bap-
tist church last evening the following
officers were elected: Trustees w. A.
Barnes, reelected; c. ]. lockwood, re-
elected; Elmer E. Merrill deacons, H. D.
Maui, F. E. Tallant, j. C. Hoblitt, James
Francis, j. A. Mcleod church clerk, Fred
G. Squyer; Sunday school superintendent,

ments for expenses were 81, ,03407. The
membership is 1,104, showing a net gain
of 32 during the year, the total number of
accessions being 115.
Chairman w. L. Harris read a letter
from the trustees recommending that the
election of church treasurer be deferred
and that he be named by the incoming
board. 1t was stated that the election of
treasurer at this time would handicap
the board in carrying out the new system
for raising funds for current expenses.
After warm debate the election of the
treasurer and the action on the recon-
mendation were deferred to an adjourned
meeting to be called by the board of trus-
tees.

QUESTION OF HANDWRITING
The NJ. FalIx Gjertsen Case Seems to
Hinge on That.

The press Of Christiania apparently does
not side with Rev. NJ. Falk Gjertsen.
Another paper from Norway seems to con-
firm the idea. Aftenposten, one of the
conservative papers, which did not men
tion the Gjertsen case until March %, for
fear of prejudicing public opinion, in a
copy just received, states that the hand
writing in the alleged improper letters
sent to the misisonary's wife. is evidently
that OF the accused minister. Experts
called into examine the writing, it says,
establish the fact beyond doubt. The
paper closes with this:
Falk Gjertsen left his hotel Monday. He
carried no baggage, but left all his effects
at the hotel. The report that he has gone to
Drammen or Kragero has been found to be
false. If Falk Gjertsen-which is thought
possible-should go aboard a steamer at
Christiansand, he will be detained If he re-
turns to America he cannot be secured.
A note added later, says:
The authorities here have been notified
that Gjertsen cannot be found in Christian
sand.
The detention mentioned would have
been on charge of having made scan
dalous charges against innocent men.

CEREAL DEAL GOES
Henry L. Little, just Back From
the East, Says So.
HEADQUARTERS TO BE IN CHICAGO
Hill-MOrEan Deal VIII Go
Through.

Henry L. Little, manager of the Pills
bury Washburn company has returned
from New York, where he went as vice
president Of the Great Western Cereal
company TO arrange a few business details.
MIR. Little confirms what appeared in a
special dispatch to T h Journal j con-
corning the consolidation of all the cereal
companies of the United States, outside of
the American Cereal company, into the
company of which he is vice president.
About dozen oatmeal concerns were
taken in, including the big oatmeal de-
partment of the Pillsbury- Washburn com
pany.
Mr.. Little says that the Great Western
Cereal company will establish permanent
headquarters in Chicago at once, but will
maintain branch offices in New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia. The company is
capitalized for $3,0O0,O 600 and has issued
81, 800 600 of 6 per cent bonds. Says Mr.
Little:
The consolidation is only in line with other
Industrial combinations that are forming
daily. 1t simply centralizes things, and will
enable US to handle the business to mucn
better advantage than we could if the indi-
vidual companies continued in the field 1t
viii also enable the new company to sell
goods to the consumer for less money. 1t
saves expenses, Of course, as there is no
useless duplication Of endeavor.
Meets Mr.. Hanna.
Mr. Little met Thomas Lowry in New
York, who presented him to Senator Mark
Hanna, concerning whom he says,
| found Senator Hanna very fine man.
/ met him twice, and was greatly impressed
with him. He is very able man. He looks
like his caricatures, but rather older. He
is suffering somewhat from rheumatism
Business in New York is excellent Money
is cheap and there is no immediate prospect
of its getting any higher Anybody who is
entitled to credit can get all the money he
wants. The fact is, the New Workers have
made SO much money in stocks that they
simply have loads of it. l never remember
a time when there was so much money in
New York. Stocks have advanced greatly
since election and everything is in a very
prosperous condition.
The Hill-MOrgan Deal.
Mr.. Little adds that from what he has
heard he is satisfied the much-talked- of
Burlington deal whereby the Hill Morgan
combination hopes to consolidate the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Burlington properties, is certain of ac-
complishment, if indeed, the trick has not
already been turned
