They Can't Route Their Freight
East of Minneapolis.
James J. Hills transportation group iM
already debating to shippers along the
lines Of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific the routing of goods east of tho
Minnesota Transfer. Whether shippers
desire to route over the Burlington or not.
some means is found to give the business
east Of the Transfer to the line controlled
by the Hill combination.
Since the wheat movement began in,
September, it has been the policy Of the.
Great Northern to alloy none of its cara
to go east of the transfer. All goods
going over eastern lines from that point
had to be transferred. An exception was.
made in the case of the Burlington, which
on many shipments gave that line the ad-'
vantage on traffic from northwestern
points.
An instance is related of a North Da-
kota shipper who wanted to send car or
stock to Chicago. He desired to route
east to transfer over the Omaha. He was
told by the Great Northern that it did not
allow its cars to go east Of the Mime
sofa Transfer. The freight departments
also wrote him that they would endeavor
to secure an Omaha car for him. Some
weeks went by but the car Odd not appear
The shipper made another inquiry. he
was informed that Omaha cars were hard
to secure, but If he would route over the
Burlington he would be furnished Great
Northern car and the company would AK
low it to go east of the Transfer to des-
tination. The shipper could do nothing
else than submit and the Hill system Sc
cured the entire haul.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Attorney General
Knox must at once enter suit to dissolve
the five great trusts of the country or the
failure of the department of justice to
enforce the antitrust law will be made
the subject of sensational disclosures in
open session of the senate.
This, in effect. is the announcement
made by officials of the American Anti
Trust League who insist that the
pledges they declare were made in be-
half of the attorney general at the time
his confirmation was held up be fulfilled
without delay. Secretary Martin Of the
Anti Trust League said:
In executive session of the senate on the
day Mr.. Knox was confirmed, and just before
the vote was taken ON confirmation, pledges
were made in behalf of Mr. Knox that he
would at once bring suit against the five
great trusts of the country-the United States
Steel corporation, the armor plate trust, the
Standard Oil company, the anthracite coal
combine and the railroad combine The
friends of Mr.. Knox also agreed that the law
should be so amended that the exclusive
power to bring suit for violation Of the anti

He ISCALLED A DEAD'UN
POLITICIANS MAKE PROTEST
Official Announcement of the APP
pOintment Made From the
White House.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Dec 26.-A political
insurrection has been aroused in Iowa by
the action of President Roosevelt in ten
dering the secretaryship OF the treasury
to Governor Shaw. The first reports were
discredited and politicians were dazed and
ineredulous when they were strengthened.
Incredulity has given way to wrath and
everywhere protests can be heard. Roose-
velt stock has fallen many points since
the announcement and it appears certain
that had the president cast about to Sc
lect the most unpopular man in the state
| he could not have succeeded any better
than he has done in naming Shaw.
Politicians are keeping the wires hot
with protests and it is strongly suspected
some of these have gone on to Washing
ton. The denunciation of Shaw is not
confined to few leading politicians, how
ever. 1T is the talk on the streets, in the
restaurants and wherever men congre-
gate. Business men in Des Moines freely
express it. AS for the politicians, there
is not Cummins politician of conse-
Quence in Iowa that does not keenly re-
sent giving Shaw this appointment Mr.
| Cummins personally has taken no hand
in the matter !and will not, but if his
followers have their way they will find
some means OF conveying to Roosevelt
their opposition.
Governor Shaw is looked on in Iowa as
! repudiated leader and so far as his
state is concerned politically dead This
was illustrated at the Cedar Rapids con-
yention, when every man of prominence
who came on the platform was called on
for an address Shaw alone was given
the cold shoulder, not only by the Cum
Minis Nmen but by those Of the anti Cum
MINIS persuasion. His unpopularity
springs from several causes. In the first
place he is regarded as a corporation man
from the foundation His whole attitude
IN Office has indicated this. In the great
tight for an increased railroad assessment
Shaw has persistently stood as the cham
pion of the roads. In vetoing the valued
policy bill, adopted by the last general
assembly, Shaw also added to the oppo-
sition against himself TIE fact that the
veto message is now being circulated as
! campaign document by the insurance in
terests is not improving the governor in
the estimation of many citizens.
The conduct of Shaw in appointing a.
successor to Gear, in naming Dolliver
whom he openly belittled, in order to
block Cummins' path, intensified the feel
ing against him. The recent appointment
in Des Moines of Judge A. H. McVey to
succeed Judge w. f. Conrad, has also
stirred up much enmity. His justifica-
tion for this appointment was that he had
known McVey for twenty years and the
latter like the governor belonged to the
Methodist church. Judge McVey will be
candidate almost certain to be de-
feated.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-The young woman
known as Frances Ross, who is supposed
to have escaped from Portland, Oregon,
convent, was adjudged insane here to-
day, experts testifying that the young
woman is suffering from religious melan-
cholia. 1t is believed by physicians at

would say nothing tending to establish
her identity. When taken into custody

The test of honesty and sincerity of purpose
of the attorney general and those who secured
his immediate confirmation is tc be made i'm
mediately after the senate convenes in Janu-
ary. If the confirmation Of Mr.. Knox, which
could have been postponed indefinitely If not
absolutely defeated, was the result of prom
ises intended merely as a trick, the country
should know it, and the senate will be
plunged into a discussion that will lay bare
the whole situation We sent Mr. Knox let
ter Nov. % and asked for an answer by the
27th. We asked him what he was going to do
about the antitrust cases. He could easily
have told us that he would or would not do
certain things, but he never even acknowl-
edged the receipt of our letter. His refusal
to communicate with us and his statements
to members of the committee were sufficient
indication to us that Mr.. Knox wished to be
confirmed before he made any promises; but
promises were made for him by his friends
in the senate, and those promises must be
kept

FRANCE AND VENEZUELA
Hitch That Adds to the Gayety OF
South American Nations.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 26.-An-
other complication has arisen between
France and Venezuela. This new griev-
ance arises from the seizure of the prop
critics of Senor Manuel A. Matoa, an al
legged leader of the new Venezuelan revo-
luton. Senior Matoa leased part of his
property to M. Secrestat, of Bordeaux.
for two years, under the Venezuelan civil
code, which permits such a transaction to
be effected without the necessity Of regis
tering the documents. BY the seizure OF
the leased properties, President Castro
has deprived M. Secrestat Of their reye-
nue. and use. The French government has
notified President Castro Of the infringe
ment of M. Seorestat's rights.
