CHANGE OF PHONE
Companies Profit by the Contest Be-
tween Chamber Of Commerce
and Western Union.
Chamber Folk Look for Western
Union Action From the New
York Headquarters. 49,:

The war is still on between the West
ern Union Telegraph company and the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, and
there is as yet no prospect Of a. settlement.
The phone companies see their oppor-
tunity and are active. The Western
Union has shown no disposition to accede
to the demands Of the chamber in regard
to the rental asked, and the chamber has
made no new move. Hg$% r"
The statement of Superintendent Nc
Michael of the Western Union company,

officers of the chamber said this morn
Ing that no attempt would be made at
compromise nor would any proposition be
entertained that would mean any cOnces-
sion on the part Of the chamber.
There is nothing to quarrel about"
SAID this officer. THE chamber has GER
tain space on it's floor, for which the
rental asked is $4,000. Neither the West
ern Union nor any other company that
thinks this figure too high is obliged to
rent it. We are. getting along very we'll

permanent so far as we are concerned.
Should the Western Union ever desire to
rent space on our floor they may do SO,
otherwise they need not" F.
1t Is the opinion. on, change that the
matter will be taken out Of the hands Of
the local Western Union management be-
fore many days. and that something will
be heard from headquarters in New York.
This opinion is based on the belief that
the jolt the. eastern management will re-
ceive when the decrease in northwestern
earnings Is figured up will bring out a
conc1liatory proposition. It is assumed
the general officers of the company would
rather pay the extra rental which COM
pared With the company's earnings in
Minneapolis is the merest bagatelle, than
to give the bears in Wall street chance
to use the fight in the northwest as a
means to pound the company's stock on
the New York Stock Exchange.
One of the greatest sources of revenue
the company has is derived from the send
ing out Of what are known as &C. ND.'s,"
or fifteen minute quotations, to Gus
toners of local grain houses. This is done
on contract. Some of these firms are
figuring as to the comparative cost of the
telephone and telegraph service with a
view to carrying on this ARRANGEMENT by
telephone in the future. Solicitors for
the telephone companies have seen a great
opportunity in the fight and have been
very active since the trouble began

CHURCH WAR. IN MANILA
Riots, Arrests and Disturbances-An
Appeal to Governor Taft
His Decision.

Manila. Nov. 6.-The Pandacan church
here has been the scene Of serious dis
turbances approaching riots, and many
arrests have been made. A portion of the
congregation announced it's intention a
week ago of joining the Philippines Cath
Ollie church. and the pastor, Father Sor-
rondo, preached sermon rebuking the
dissidents.
1t was asserted that Father Sorrendo
in his talk violated confessional secrets,
and he was later attacked in the streets.
All concerned were arrested.
The dissenters then took possession of
the church, but the priest dislodged them.
The dissenters recaptured the building
and on Thursday, Bishop Aglipay, the
leader Of the dissident movement, cele-
brated mass there before a large crowd.
Later the dissenters drew up a deed of
gift transferring the property to the gov
eminent and offered the deed to Governor
Taft with the keys of the building.
Th ex-governor replied that the church
belonged to the Roman Catholics. He
advised the dissenters to surrender it,
suggested an appeal to the courts if they
thought they had rights in the case, and
strongly counseled them against disor-
der.
The dissenters accepted his advice and
surrendered possession Of the church,
Crowds of natives had surrounded the
edifce and strong detachment of police
alone prevented serious outbreak.
+. General Miles Visit.
Lieutenant General Miles has returned
here from Dagupan, where he inspected
the proposed sites for permanent posts
on the Northern railroad. After an in
spection Of the barracks at Manila, Gen.
eral Miles will depart southwark Satur-
day. A delegation of former insurgent
officials. headed by General Malvar,
called on General Miles to-day.

WILL PUSH THE PROJECT
Mr.. Fletcher's Defeat Will Not Pre-
vent Steps for the Smelling
Car Line.

While the reelection Of Loren Fletcher
to congress might possibly have expedited
the plans of Minneapolis business men for
the extension of the Minnehaha car line
across the Fort Smelling reservation, it
will not interfere seriously with the prof.
ect.
1t was thought best not to push the eX-
tension plans until after election at the
last meeting Of the business men inter-
ested, especially in view Of Mr.. Fletcher s
offer to return to Washington Immediately
following the fight if his candidacy
should prove successful, and take the mat
ter up personally with the officials Of the
war department.. The war department Of
f1cials have not yet received a formal re-
quest for permission to run car line
across the government grounds, but it is
though that such a concession will not be
long whnheld once the favor is asked.
Such q request may be formulated at a
meeting Of business men which will prob
ably be held Saturday.
Mr.. Fletcher's defeat" said Walter
Boutell, will in no wise handicap US
The question Of securing that extension
Is above politics. and I think the need OF
direct connections between Minneapolis
and the post is we'll understood by the gov
eminent officials. We, will lose no time
now In getting this matter fairly before

1t is possible that the railroad gross

ty-four counties, including Hennepin, give
the bill 45.217 affirmative votes, with a
total cast of S6,95l. This is more than a

Interesting Incidents in the Molin-

York To-day.

New York, Nov. 6.--When court opened
to-day in the Molineux trial David NJ
Carvalho, the handwriting expert, said
he did not believe that Molineux wrote
the poison package wrapper or any Of
the disputed writings and in great de-
tail explained to the jury his reasons.
Counsel asked Carvalho if he had COM
pared the disputed writings with the
handwriting Of Harry S. Cornish and
Rudolph Hailes, both interested in the
case. Carvalho said he had.
Did Cornish write the address on the
poison wrapper" Mr.. Osborne asked.
He did not replied the expert with
out hesitation.
Did Holes write it?''
mo, SIR
MIR. .Carvalho,' said Ex-Governor
Black, ''you answered a question here
as a psychologist. You were asked
whether you thought a man when writ
ing an address a poison package
would disguise his writing and you re-
piled Yes Let me ask you another
psychological question: Do you think q
man sending a poison package to himself
would write the address at all with his
own hand?'
Mr.. Osborne objected and the court de-
clined to let the witness answer.

90 Late election returns furnish two great
surprises. The greatest Of these Is the
defeat o. Congressman James A. Norton
(dem) in the thirteenth district by A.
J. Jackson Crep) by plurality OF 379.
Norton was a candidate for his fourth
term and two years ago carried the u as
trict by 6,600-a reversal of nearly 1000
votes. The second surprise is the large
plurality received by Congressman Rob
ert NJ. Nevin (rep.) in the third district.
Nevtn carried the district, according to
returns received at republican state head
quarters, by STA, while two years ago
the plurality was only 154. Colonel New
ms hesitated about accepting a renomi-
nation when the legislature refused to add
a republican county, 80 as to give him a
larger majority to go on, and yet the
Columbus district, which was the only
one changed in the hope Of making it re-
publican, sends democrat to congress
to succeed a republican.

Returns this morning from all over the
state have increased the figures that were

that the landslide was more complete than

The loss of the republican legislative
candidates in Richland, Burleigh, Stark
and Cavalier counties is about the only
matter Of regret that the state commit
tee has. The results in Cavalier county
were not unexpected, but the losses in
Burleigh and Richland are directly due
to foolish fractional fights which were the
bitterest features of the campaign.
