=. I. e. MAY INQUIRE.
Packing House Products Freight Cut
A.e May Bring Investigations.

western freight officials, in session at
Chicago yesterday, decided that the. cut Of
the Great Western on packing house pro-
ducts from Kansas City must be met.
THY also decided that the rates with re-
srtct to Omaha should remain as they
are at present, and that the cut should
not apply to live stock. This will prob
ably mean ar inquiry from the Interstate
commerce commission. which has held that
rates on raw materials shall not exceed
those on the manufactured product. It
will probably also mean complaint from,
Omaha, which will claim discrimination.
The roads, however, maintain that the cut
was forced upon them, and that they
should not. be compelled follower their
rates at non competitive points, or upon
live stock. g.. u ::

IN ST. PAUL, TOO
Park Policeman Said to Have Made
Peculiar Request.

Park PO1fcenan SAID 10 HaVe HHUe
Peculiar Request. y
Park police at Como, St. Paul, appear to
have resumed the practices that caused SO
much trouble some time ago. Recently
young man and young woman from this
city were placed under arrest at the park
ostensibly on charge Of. disorderly con-
duct Both protested stoutly that the charge
was unfounded and demanded to be released,
but the officer said he would have to take
them into st. Paul.-He also suggested that
their arrest would not look we'll in the MORN
ing papers, and limited that the matter might
be arranged satisfactorily. The Minneapol-
itan, however, refused to be mulcted, and
finally "bluffed" the officer into letting him
20 by claiming acquaintance with the city
attorney Of st. Paul and threatening to cause
trouble If the officer persisted in making the
arrest. Other similar instances have been
reported lately. --fssa

A FATAL FLAW
Bunn's $ Ruling Leaves Min
nesota Without an Inher- s.
itance Tax Law.

The state of Minnesota has no valid in
heritance tax law on its statute books. d
Judge Bum, Of the Ramsey county
court, holds that the law Of 1901 Is un-
constitutional and invalid, and decisions
of other courts have already found frre-
parable flaws in the laws Of 1897 and 1902,
SO that there is no inheritance tax law
whatever. under which great estates Of
rich men who die may be compelled to
pay toll into the treasury.

FOR INSANE PATIENTS !.
Quarters Mny BE Provided at the

.--.-s City Hospital.
The detention room for demented patients
demanded by Judge Harvey Of the probate
court will probably soon abe provided at the
city hospital, and this will obviate the
necessity of maintaining such room at the
county jail. At an informal conference this
morning between Assistant County Attorney
c. L. Smith, Jailor Alexander, Deputy
Sheriff Arthur L. Jones and Assistant City
Physician Dumas, it was agreed that the hos
ptaI authorities we're In better position to
care for the insane than the jail force.
DR. Dumas expressed the. opinion that a
room at the. city hospital could be fitted up
at small expense. A steel screen grating
over the window so that the patients could
not lump out and stout door would be all
the special appliances required. While not
authorized to speak for Dr. Henry $. Nelson,
the city physician DR.. Dumas thousht that
the latter would consent to the plan.

TO TRY AGAIN
Mayor Anes' Resignation
Without Any Conditions
Is Expected Soon.

81 Mayor Ames' resignation, signed and
sealed is due to reach the city council
not later than the meeting Of Friday,
Aug.l22.
Regardless OF any special election con-
tingency, it is believed by those who de-
sire peace and harmony that the resigna-
tion would be handy thing to have in
the proper hands in Minneapolis.
It would afford an immediate and eff
fective method of defeating Mayor Ames
in case he decided to brave multiplied
Indictments and return to Minneapolis to
undo the work of reorganization. !. In that
case the resignation could be made ef-
fective at once. Otherwise, 1t would be
held in reserve.

ROIEs AGREED UPON.
No Other Name Will Be Presented t
the Third District Convention.

Waterloo, Aug. ia prominent
democratic politician stated yesterday
it was practically settled that E. L..
Boies, son of Ex-Governor Boies, will
accept the democratic nomination for
congress in this district. He said
that when the governor was approach
ed with the request that he accept the
nomination it was intimated to him
that the democrats of this district
stood by him loyaily when ne ran for
governor, giving him a majority of
TIE vote of the district and he owed
something to them. He expressed his
appreciation of what the democrats OF
the district had done for him and said
if they insisted on his running ne
would consider it, but he pleaded his
age and his disiLcnnation to re-enter
politics, and said he would much pre-
ter his son be started II he would be
satisfactory to the democrats. He
said he would take the stump for the
ticket and help make tue campaign
a lively one. When the son was ap-
preached on the subject he at first
manifested an aversion to the scheme,
but when his fat--er urged him he 1T
length agreed that if the democrats
were determined to have a member Of
the Boies family for their candidate
he would take the nomination if it
came to him unanimous in order to
save his father the worry of making
the canvass.
That is the position he has taken
and it is understood there will be no
public announcement made, but it is
tacitly agreed that no other name will
| be presented to the convention. The
convention will be held at Dubuque,
September II, and arrangements are
| being made to secure large attend
ance. It is stated that special trains
will be run and every effort made to
| make the affair big democratic rally.
1t is also stated that the national
democratic congressional committee
| has promised to send Hon. Champ
clark and Judge DeArmsnd OF Mis-
| souri, and other prominent democratic
speakers into the district.

LABOR UNIoNIsTs WIN.

Judge McHenry Dissolves Temporary
Injunction in Telephone Case.
Des Moines, Aug. 14.-Judge Nc
Henry dissolved the temporary injunc-
ton restraining the labor unions from
removing Iowa telephone instruments
from the homes and places Of bust
ness of patrons Of the Iowa Telephone
company yesterday, and Monday at 2
o'clock was fixed for hearing on the
application of the company for the g
suance of an injunction restraining thu
unions from all agitation and soliclta-
ton tending to operate as restriction
upon or injury to the business OF the
concern.
No ex parte irjrnctions will issue
from this court" said Judge McHenry
in announcing his decision. What
ever injunctions are necessary will IS
sue after proper hearings in which
both sides may participate.
The company's attorneys objected to
the dissolution of the temporary in
junction which had been issued by
Judge McVey and offered to introduce
testimony to support the allegations
made as basis for securing it. This
evidence the attorneys for the labor
unions insisted could not be heard in
court since the general rule OF the law
that formal denial on oath of the
averments Of the petition for the m
junction only are necessary to secure
dissolution-was applicable in the case
at bar.
Judge McHenry Held that the gen
eral rule was applicable to the tele-
phone case as Wen as to any other, ami
promptly dissolved the Injunction.
