MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Northwestern ''U'' Girl Dies Under
Suspicious Circumstances

Northwestern "U' Girl Dies Under
Suspicious Circumstances.
Chicago, Jan. 25.-Miss Myrtle Gale, %
years old, student at Northwestern uni
versity, whose parents live in Rockford,
died under mysterious circumstances at
the home of Mrs. Alonzo Hoyles at
Aurora, and a searching investigation is
now being made by the officials of that
city.
At a postmortem examination the dis
covery made that death was caused
by blood poisoning, as the result, prob
ably, of an operation, and during the pro-
ceedings DR.. Charles Woodward, a prom
inent physician of Aurora, was called
upon to testify. He admitted having
treated the young woman, but denied
positively that any operation had been
performed by him. Miss Gale had been
in Aurora one week, and, although she
had relatives living in that city, she re-
fused to make her presence known to
them. Last Monday, when her condition
became alarming, and fears for her recov-
cry were entertained, she requested that
her mother be sent for This was done,
and Mrs. Gale fastened to Aurora, and at
the bedside of her dying daughter learned
for the first time of her dangerous ILL
ness. Mrs. Gale pleaded with the girl
to throw some light on the mystery sur
rounding the case, but she positively re-
fused to make any accusations, and died
with her secret still untold.

THE DEMOCRATS DODGE
CAUCUS DOESN'T COMMIT ITSELF
<sWithOut Power to PrOmu1gate q
PlatfOrm'-StatehoO for
Territories. t

Washington, Jan. 25-Thet democratic
members of the house of representatives
met in caucus in the hall of the house
last evening, and after a short but spir-
tied contest adopted resolutions declaring
that they were without power to promul-
gate a platform Of principles for the
party, owing to the binding character of
the party platform heretofore regularly
made at national convention.
The contest occurred over substitute
resolution proposed by Representative
Henry of Texas, more specifically declar-
ing it to be the duty of every democratic
representative to adhere to the national
democratic platform until another demo-
cratic convention adopted a new platform.
The caucus was the outgrowth of discus
sion among democratic members ever
since the present session of congress be-
gan, the chief issue being as to the extent
of which the Kansas City platform should
be reaffirmed or should be superseded by
new declaration of policy. Mr.. Rich
ardson presented the majority report, con-
Cured in by all of the members of the
special committee except Mr.. Henry. It
recited the work Of the committee, and
closed with the following recommends
ton: s-. ....
We are of the opinion that, as representa-
tives of our various constituents and as mem
bers of the caucus made up of such repre-
sentatives, we have no power or authority
| to construct or promulgate a platform OF
! principles for our party; that we cannot in.
crease minimize the binding effect of plat
| forms of the party heretofore regularly made
and adopted by the people in convention as
sembled for that purpose.
| The caucus also adopted the following:
| Resolved, That the territories Of Arizona
| Oklahoma and New Mexico are entitled t.
Of and CHI 1,oo
on equal footing with the balance of the
| states, and I'VE pledge the support of the
democrats in the house of representatives te
such a bill. ... ..s~.-. ~

Commissioner Clements
Then he can go into court and secure

commissioner Prouty interrupted with
little story of the woes of the commits
sion.
Out in Iowa it was complained that the
grain rate was too high We went out there
and investigated and discovered that the
complaint was just and ordered a reduction
"a reduction to reasonable rate, as you
say. What happened? The roads paid no at
tention to 1t, and the courts decided that our
ruling could not be enforced.
well" Mr. HILL answered, laughing, 81
was talking of what ought to be and of
what i am willing and anxious to bring
about. II these rates cannot be enforced,
the law should be fixed so that it can be
DONE
Mr.. Hill averred in answer to further
Interrogation in regard to the effects of
competition that commercial war between
roads really resulted in higher tariffs.
He said:
They cut each other to the heart, and then
patch up an agreement whereby everything
is higher than ever. The rebate system is a
part OF competitive warfare, and you know
the rates the general shipper gets thereby
He pays the freight which the large shipper
has lodged. Roads are bound to hustle for
business and they will do much to secure
the patronage of large shippers.
Agreement Denied
MT. Hill was asked If any agreement
mad been made, express or otherwise,
respecting the division Of traffic or earn
ings which involves the Northern Pacific,
the Great Northern or the Burlington.
lie replied: "No understanding, directly
or Indirectly"
"Or with the Union Pacifc?' he was
asked.
None whatever" he replied.
He also declared that to the best of his
recollection the Great Northern had never
had traffic agreement with any other
railroad.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-01-25

Mr.. Hill gave an estimate of the hold
ings of the Northern Securities company
in the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern companies, and was then asked by
Commissioner Clement:
What does your plan contemplate shall
be the stock Of the Burlington, in whatever
name it stands, whether in the name of a
railway company or an individual?"
That would depend upon it's extensions
and the amount of money it would need to
pay off the bonds at the end of five years,
which it had the right to do-say 100000, 900.
They have to build other lines, and they
build them with the proceeds of stocks,
rather than mortgages, and it would be what
ever that amounted to-
''Then, in organizing this new Burlington
company its capital stock is issued at par
for money!"
Eyes, that's right"
'"And whatever stock it has issued, it has
issued at par for CASH."
THAT is right ..
"And the plan is to increase it's stock only
as occasion may require and sell that stock
at par for CASH." ~.
THAT is right"
''The cash to be used either in retiring the
bonds or in extending the system, or fol
other legitimate purposes ..-
That's right" ....'
But in any event, whatever the capital
stock of this new Burlington company may
be at any time, will be the equivalent of just
so much money actually paid into it's treas

CONCESSIONS TO CUBA
Republicans Line Up for Fight for
Reciprocity.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The Republican
members of the ways and means commit
tee are beginning to line UP for the fight
over Cuban reciprocity. Representative
Mccall of Massachusetts, is the first to
declare himself openly in favor of reci-
procity. He said
Our beet-sugar industry is rapidly grow
ing one and should not be injured; but it
seems clear that it would not be affected at
all by moderate reduction in the duties on
Cuban sugars. So long as we import, in ad-
dition to Cuba's crop, great mass of sugar,
paying the full duty, raw Cuban sugar IN
New York will bring the foreign, or Ham
burg, price, with freight and full duty added.
Either that or there would be two prices for
the same grade of sugar in the same market.
The full benefit Of a moderate reduction
would accrue to the Cuban producer. The
prime ground for a concession is not to Sc
cure an increased trade, but that we may in
augurate the new Cuban government under
the most favorable auspices.
