He Will Order an Inquest Into
the Death Of Robert R. Rem

The death Of Robert r. Remington is
still much-tslked-of subject. and
whether IL was case OF suicide or a
murder Is a question that apparently will
not down until the matter has been thor

Newport authorities but that the tragedy
I'm the reading room was a case OF suicide,
but II has been given out that they will
render every assistance possible TO get at
the real facts I'm the case and ferret out
the murderer. IL II is demonstrated that a
murder was committed.
Mr. Edward +. Remington, brother OF
the dead man, has stated his belief that
his brother was murdered. and he has
been informed that n he will furnish suffi-
cient evidence To- warrant an inquest Or.
Ecroyd the medical examiner will order
one.
IL IL within the powers OF the attorney
general TO order an inquest ~ he sees fit.
and the attitude OF Colonel Stearns on
this question is set forth In the following
letter from him
"If MIR Remington will lay his evidence
before me | can only say that I should
exert all my powers to the utmost to help

enos IN the state, and adding such In
tefstate traffic as crosses the state or
comes into or goes out of it. as the
miles hauled within the state bears
TO the entire haul of each particular
cOmmOdity -'A
To illustrates:
When a car of freight is hauled
ooo miles, 500 miles within the state
and 500 without, and the earnings
for the entire haul is, say, $500.
there would be credited to the state.
as having been earned within it,
one-half of the total net earnings
as a basis OF taxable earnings.
Under the proposed law the division
is not to be made on such a basis, but
on all interstate traffic crossing the
State or passing into or out of it upon
the basis that the mileage operated
within the state bears to the entire
mileage operated by each railroad COM
pany
If the railroad company which
hauled the traffic referred to--the
oOO mlles-operated but one fifth of
Its mileage in the state, as is the
case with several of the roads, the
division OF interstate traffic as the
basis OF taxable earnings, instead of
being, as it would under the miIeaqe
basis, $500, or one-haIf of $4oo, 1t
would be one-fifth of $4oo, or $50.
Under the existing law the railroads
pay about $1,500.000 annually to the
state. If the new law had kept them
on the same basis the amount Of taxes
paid under 1t would have amounted to
nearly 100000.
Its Specific Provisions
The proposed law provides first 'for
tax of per cent upon local business,
and as to interstate business, on a pro-
portion of earnings on all interstate
business passing through, into or out
of the state as the mileage operated
within the state bears to the entire
mileage operated by such company"
Ii this law goes into effect the state
VIII receive on Interstate traffic which
touches this state only such proportion
or per cent which the mileage of the
road within the state bears to it's en-
tire mileage. About So per cent of the
mileage of the Great Northern is In
Minnesota, and it would therefore paw
on this class Of freight only .O142 per
cent.
About one-fifth of the mileage of
the Northern Pacific is in Minnesota.
and its tax on this class would be
only .00S per cent.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
has about one-sixth of it's mileage in
Minnesota and Its tax on interstate
earnings would be .0066 per cent.
The result of the new law would be
that under its provisions the amount
of taxes paid into the state would be
much less than under the old law.

SENATOR NELSON
PUMPS A HANDCAR
Tears His Trousers Seriously, but
Makes Connections for Meeting
at Two Harbors.


DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 14.-United
States Senator Nelson pumped hand
car five miles this afternoon in order
to make connections with a train for
Two Harbors, where he was billed for a
speech tonight. The senator had been
at Hibbing and left there shortly after
noon. When five miles from Wolff
Junction the train ran into wreck and
things looked dubious for keeping his
engagement. Directly he espied a
handcar beyond the wreck and, after
making a dicker for it's use, he jump
ed on and propelled himself to the
junction, reaching there just in time
to make connections. The exercise was
quite violent for the senator, who man
aged to tear his trousers in a serious
manner. Otherwise there were no ill
effects.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct, 14.-From
thorough canvass of the situation as
it exists tonight there is every indica-
tion for believing that the new arbi-
tration plan proposed by the presidents
of the coal companies for ending the
miners strike will not be accepted in
its present form. There is a division
of opinion among the strikers, but there
is no doubt that majority feel that
the offer to have the president of the
United States select an arbitration
commission along the lines suggested
by the operators is not fair and that 1t
unduly limits the president in making
UP the board. The miners, it is safe to
say, will abide the advice of their ma
tional president, in whose judgment
they have the utmost confidence. Pres
ident Mitchell declines to say how he
personally looks upon the proposition.
but tonight he gave to the press the
above statement

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-"Will you serve
pancakes for breakfast?" This was the
question put to the clerk of one of the
leading hotels of the city today by an
old man who registered as w. B. Will
son, of Rolling Prairie, Ind. "We've
had pancakes for breakfast every day
for twenty-five years." continued Mr..
Wilson, ''and my wife and I will not
stay here unless we can have them"
Pancakes did not happen to be on
the menu, so the pair took their de-
parture. Then the clerk began to figure
and when he concluded he had reckon
ed that the Indianan and his wife had
consumed 22S,125 pancakes in the last
quarter of a century.

Urged by Correspondents.

This statement was made by him at 3
o'clock after silence lasting all day.
He had no intention of making 1T until
| the correspondents representing news
papers all over the country called on
him in body and informed him that
the general public desired to have an
answer to the proposition of the op-
orators. After giving it he was asked
many questions regarding the attitude
Of the men and the probability of the
acceptance or rejection of the new Of
fer, but he had no reply to make to
any of these questions. He denied that
he had any knowledge of what the
new offer of the operators was until 1t
became public property, and also denied
that he was in telephone communica-
ton with President Roosevelt His at
tention was called to the fact that
most of the information from Washing
ton indicated that the proposition would
be accepted and that the strike was
near an end, but he stoutly maintained
that neither his officers nor the rank
and file of the men had done anything
to cause such an impression to go out.
Refers to Gold Bricks.
The district presidents also maintain
silence as to their personal opinion on
the proposition excepting President
Fahy, who, after he arrived from Bos-
ton today, gave an inkling as to how
he viewed the new turn of affairs. In
reply to a query he said:
"The strike cannot be settled with
out the consent of the men. We are
not dealing in gold bricks Of any kind,
and you can make any deduction from
that you want"
There will be conference tomorrow
between Mr.. Mitchell, the three district
presidents and Secretary Treasurer
Wilson, who will arrive here tomorrow.
1t is fully expected that the sentiment
of all the strikers will be known to-
morrow and that action will be taken
accordingly. There is talk Of a con-
vention being called, but there Is moth
ing definite on which to base this talk
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked If he and
the district officers had power to end
the strike, he said that 1t is a rule or
the organization that no settlement
can be made by the officers of the un-
ion without the consent Of a delegate
convention. 1t is practically certain
that Mr.. Mitchells voice will be fol-
lowed in the conference. While he
has not said word as to what he will
do, 1t Is freely predicted by those who
understand the situation that he will
advise refusal of the proposition.
Pick Out Alleged Flaws.
The rank and file of the miners view
the new proposals in different lights,
and make strong arguments according
to their views. Those who are op-
posed to accepting the new offer look
upon the operators latest move as
counter proposition to Mr.. Mitchelrs
offer to arbitrate made in the tempo

compare the two offers, and pick out
