SWING THEIR CLUB
N. P. and G. N. Do Clever Stunts
With the Burlington.
SOUTHERN SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
1t Is Confronted With u Coast Con-
ventiOn Rate Not to It's
Liking.

With the Burlington system as club,
the North Pacific and the Great North
ern are breaking into that sphere OF in
huence in Pacific coast traffic, in which the
southern coast lines together with their
closely allied Chicago connections have
hitherto been supreme. The northern
lines are now in a position to force their
own terms on many passenger rate prop
months the Burlington club has been
welded with telling effect.
Usually the southern coast lines and
their connections have had the big end
of the argument in deciding upon rates
for conventions on the Pacific coast.
There have been times when the north
coast lines, including the Soo- Pacific, we're
in favor of different rates from those
named by other lines, especially for towns
in north coast territory, but they were
unable to force the game. The effect of
the new arrangement is manifest In the
recent action of the northern lines on the
request for special rate for the Young
Peoples union of the United Presbyte-
rian church, which meets in convention at
Tacoma next July.
The union made request for round
trip rate of $50 from Chicago. The trans
continental passenger association refused
to make it. The northern lines favored
granting the request but other factors in
the association were at first successful
in their opposition. Notice has just been
issued, however, that the Burlington road
In connection with the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific will put the rate into
effect REGARDLESS of the wishes of the other
lines in the association.
The northern lines also conflict with the
transcontinental association on the ques-
ton Of second-class colonist rates to
points in Oregon south of Portland, in
GLIDING Ashland. The northern roads re-
fuse to apply the association rates to the
coast by way Of Minneapolis. The asso-
citation roads are asked to cancel their
rate Of s2SS5 from Minneapolis by way of
Missouri river points and substitute a
s27. 80 rate by way Of Sioux City or Coun-
Gil Bluffs. and S2S.S5 rate by way of the
lower Missouri river gateways.
t Improved Service.
500 line officials announce an improved
train service to Minnesota and North Da-
kota points beginning March g. The
change Is made to furnish better accom-
! mediation for the homeseeker movement
which will begin in force early next
month West of Cakes to the Missouri
river and Braddock lines, the passenger
service will be daily except Sunday in
stead of tri-weekly as at present. This
service will be furnished by extending the
run of the train which now leaves Mime
apolis at night and stops at Glenwood.
The 500 will run popular rate excur-
siops February IA and Is from points on
it's Minnesota and North Dakota to the
twin cities. The rate is less than one
fare for the round trip. It Is expected
these rates will be taken advantage of by
500 people.

of Recovery.

pected momentarily. He lies i'll with lock-
jaw at the home of T. P. Healy, con-

DOCTORS OBSTINATE
Refuse to Accept lawyers Theory of
CarlsOn's Death.

Little progress was made in the Johnson
murder case yesterday, owing to the
searching cross examination, by Attorney
Hewitt for the defense. Henry S. Nelson.
city physician, in charge Of the city hospital
where Claus w. Carlson, the murdered man,
was brought for treatment, and W. B. Muir.
ply, the deputy coroner who conducted the
autopsy, were the only witnesses of the
morning. Both testified that death was due
to septic poisoning directly due to peri
tonitis resulting from the knife wound.
Attorney Hewitt tried to induce the wit
nesses to commit themselves to his pneumonia
theory. His idea is that Carlson had pneu-
monia before he was taken to the hospital
and that he died from this was shown by
the congested condition of part of the lungs
and the records of the case taken at the hos
pital.
He insisted that the records of pulse and
the temperature were not typical Of septic
aemia, but plainly showed the presence of
pneumonia. and wanted the witnesses to say
so, but they would not make the desired ad-
missions. They said that the pulse and the
temperature would be affected by many
things, such as the treatment given, the drugs
administered and the presence of complica-
tons. They insisted that there was nothing
that could not be reconciled with the death
from septicaemia

THE NIGHT CLERK
Grouchy Travellers and Over-Joyful ReveIers
Keep Him Wide Awake.

'Tis midnight, and the hum Of indus.
try huns no more IN Akron. The
city slumbers. With his club swing
ing idly by his side, the terror of the
evil-doers-(Thomas Nicholas, or some
other)--paces his beat. A cab from
the depot rolls noisily up to the Hotel
Buchtel entrance. A traveller alights
and enters. Wearied by long ride,
aroused perhaps from sound sleep
by the porter to whom he had pre-
viously given instructions to be call
ed, his nerves are i'm no wise settled,
nor has his heart been gladdened by the
jolting of the cab on the way to the
hotel. In short, he is grouchy and
ready to let loose a torrent on the
first man with whom he comes in con-
tact, and that man is the night clerk
in the hotel. Perhaps the clerk heeds
not his words and is silent; perhaps
he replies, as the case may require.
At length the guest goes to his room
and, giving a farewell growl at the
bell boy, as he enters, is soon lost in
Sunderland.
Soon a guest Of different type
enters the hotel There is no Crouch
iness about him, but peculiar smile
is on his face. He has been out with
a number of friends-"good fellows"
Again and again and yet again they
have sung the praises Of Bacchus.
With song on their lips they parted.

fused to take IT. He now sues the
