LINES TO Be DRAWN
Anti-Cummins Element in Iowa
Still Intact.

Special to The Journal
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. S.-Evidence
accumulates that the old Cumimns and
Gear lines Of two years ago will be drawn
at the coming session of the general as
sembly. For a time it was thought the
old feeling had died away sufficiently to
break down the barriers, but within the
last two days it has appeared doubtful if
this would be the case. The" Cummins
leaders have awakened to the fact that
the anti Cummins elements are still in
tact and that only by pursuing an agrees
sive policy will 1t be possible to main
tain the control. For this reason the
Cummins leaders will make up slate of
house and senate employees and will see
to it, if possible, that it is not broken.
One thing that has had more to do with
this decision Of the Cummins. forces than
any other is the recent appointment of
Governor Shaw to the treasury portfolio
This appointment has been bitterly re-
sented from the first by the Cummins
leaders. They see in it clever political
move on the part of the old Gear forces,
and they regard it as helped along by Alli-
son and others with the intention of weak
ening the Cummins faction and strength
ening the old Iowa railroad machine
Under these circumstances they have de-
termined on an aggressive policy.
One Of the results of this policy will be,
as it appears now, the election OF Rush
Benedict of Shelby county as chief clerk
of the house, and John c. Crockett of Ell
dora, as first assistant. Benedict is a
Cummins man and is backed up by Webb
Byers, ex-speaker Of the house, who was
one of Cummins' ablest lieutenants. The
Benedict Crockett combination was formed
several weeks ago, and now that the men,
bers are gathering rapidly for the open
ing of the legislative session next Mon
day, the effects of the united movement
are beginning to- beaapparent. John A.
Cook of Franklin county, who is a candi-
date for first assistant, and not Cum
Minis man, will be defeated if possible.
Thomas A. Way of Britt, and other
Cummins leaders are on the ground and
are watching the developments closely.
The caucus for the selection of employees,
on the part of the republicans, will be held
Saturday night. .-". -
The indications now are that war will
be fought this winter over redistr1cting.
The proposed changes in congressional
districts are talked of with avidity at the
hotels. 1t appears as if after all the eff
forts of the congressman to prevent re-
districting, the agitation for it cannot be
controlled. Senatorial and representative
redistricting is thought by many to be as
sured also.

RAILROAD RUMBLEs
SOUTH DAKOTA RATES
Reduction Promised by Roads Does

Reduction Promised by Roads Does
Not Pan Out.
Special to The Journal.
Iankton, S. D., Jan. 8.-There has been
some delightful anticipation for three
months in South Dakota over the promised
reduction in freight rates, but now that
the new rates have had two months in
which to demonstrate just what they are
going to do in the way of cutting down ex-
pense accounts, there is feeling of con-
sternation. In speaking on the subject
the Brookings Press says: "As yet there
has been no reduction but instead a sharp
advance, and our board of railroad COM
missionerss must either be playing into
the hands of the railroads or else the
members are not sharp enough to sit in
the game e..
The Huronite remarks I'VE can only
give our own experience in this question
Of freight reduction. We formerly gave
40 cents a hundred on paper from Mime
apolis and now pay IS cents. Inquiry
brought out the information that there
was no raise, only change in classical
ton, Hence we conclude that the rail-
roads have really reduced the rates, but
made up the loss by change in classifi-
cation. 1t is a case of now you see it and
now you DON'T

Yankton and Sioux City compared with

q Hurry. 49,

Omaha, Neb., Jan. S.-Two police
judges, each with supporters, held court
at the same time in the police courtroom
yesterday, and the result was the forcible
election Of one Of them by the police.
Judge Rerka. the newly elected Judge,
held the bench, while Judge Gordon, who
claims to hold over on the supposition
that the election Of Rerka was illegal,
pulled table in front Of him and raped
for order.
/. Judge Berka had the support of the po-
lice, and Gordon was recognized by the
county authorities. Berka appeared in
the courtroom first, mounted the bench,
and began hearing a grist of cases.
Judge Gordon then pulled up table
and began hearing case brought by the
county attorney.
Berka ordered the police to eject the
'judge,'' and two bluecoats took him by
the collar, and hustled him out, not,
however. until he had declared court ad-
journed.

the grain dealers of central Iowa was held
in this city yesterday. About twenty-five rep

object was to discuss freight rates and to
adopt some plan of securing an equalization
Of the charges.
1t was stated that present charges are
inimical to both buyer and shipper. Those
who are located on lines where there is 40
competition say they are charged higher rates
than those located several lines. The
difference is often cents to Kansas City,
and this is said to be equivalent to or
cents a bushel on corn. An effort will be
made to have these matters equalized. The
meeting was harmonious and adjourned last
evening.

the city of Chicago against the Chicago
Telephone company and the American
