Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 24-N. A.
Sheldon, who was going under the name
of J. r. Sloane. is a mere boy, being
barely nineteen years of age, but he is
under arrest on a serious charge from
West Superior, where he is wanted for
forgery for stealing a bunch of railroad
tickets.
Sheriff T. w Somer, of West Superior,
who arrived today, says the youth is
the grandson of A. j. Sheldon, retired
merchant and prominent citizen at Wau-
pun, Wis. The young man had gone to
West Superior and secured position as
agent for the Duluth & South Shore
railroad. He got to gambling and lost
all his salary. He forged some express
orders and wound up by taking the COM
pany's money. Getting too deep he
stole a bunch of tickets from the office
and fed. After riding on some of these
for the first few days he sold the re-
mainder, thirty-two in number, to a
scalper, and came to New Orleans.

JUDGE THOMPSON
FOR PRESIDENT
ROOM MATCHING FOR AN ILLINOIS
.JCRIST
A Jackson Day Speech ReckOned ON
to Secure the Illinois Delega-
tiOn-Bryan Said TO BE
Favorable.


CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 24-Judge Owen
p. Thompson, of Jacksonville, has been
put into the list of presidential possibil
tiles by his Jackson day banquet speech
on fighting the trusts with the injunction
writ. While it is too early to say there
is a Thompson BOOM on, he and the
things he stands for have been seriously
considered by believers in new men
and new issues for the Democratic cam
paign Of 1904. Judge Thompsons friends
have canvassed the whole question
among themselves. They have laid it
before disinterested political observers,
and have had encouraging answers.
William Jennings Bryan has been con-
suited. He approved Judge Thompson's s
Jackson day speech before it was delfv-
cred, and approved it especially as a con-
tribution to the party's stock of national
platform building material To give it
additional attention he had the Judge
and NJ F. Dunlap, of Jacksonville. meet
hin here by appointment on Tuesday,
and wait until Thursday, while he was at
Madison. for further conference with
him. It can be said that the judge will
not lack Mr.. Bryans support if that will
nominate him.
Mayor Harrison is generally accredited
with an ambition to run for vice presi-
dent if not for president, in 1904, and
one state cannot have two candidates.
However, if it comes to that, the judges s
friends have no doubt that they can get
the national delegation no matter what
Mayor Harrison might want, since he
must iump the hurdle of another cleo
ton TO the mayoralty before he will be
considered eligible to the National ticket.

and fans and cages We're partially
wrecked. This made the work of res
cue very slow and it was o'clock be-
fore volunteer parties dared to venture
into the east entry, where the explosion
had occurred. When they fought their way
in, a horrible sight greeted them. The
dead and injured were terribly burned
and mutilated, some of them almost
beyond recognition.
Fire, which it was at first feared
would prove destructive to the entire
mine, had broken out, and this added
terror to the spectacle The flames
were finally controlled, and after several
of the rescue party had succumbed to
the fumes, all the dead were found and
carried to the top of the shaft.
At the time of the explosion more than
100 men were in the mine, but ali these,
except the men in the east entry, escaped
with only slight injury.
1t was nearly o'clock this evening
when the last of the dead was taken
out, and scenes of anguish among the
families of the men We're most pitiful.
Nearly all of the men were married, and
leave families in poor circumstances.
The total property damage will be
about $4,000.
The mine is owned by the Lost Greek
Fuel company, of this city, and has been
in operation about one year.

GOVERNOR VAN SAINT DID IT
Asks Preachers to Help Him in Az
ranging Public Services-St.
Paul Must Not Be Out
done, He Says.

Gov. Van SAINT took turn at the siren
uous life yesterday for about two hours.
ana as result St. Paul will have a
public Mckinley memorial meeting to-
morrow afternoon in one of the churches
of the city
Shortly after dinner Gov. Van SAINT re-
ce1ved a letter from Frank H. Forbes.
secretary of the Minnesota Mckinley
Memorial association 1t notified the gov
ernor that the city of Minneapolis had
arranged for great public meeting
Sunday afternoon in the Metropolitan
Opera house, at which addresses on the
life and character of William Mckinley
would be delivered by Frank Nye J. S.
Montgomery and William Henry Eustis.
Mr.. Forbes requested the presence of the
governor on that occasion, and suggested
that st. Paul should also hold similar
services. Gov. Van SAINT acted on the
suggestion at once Notwithstanding
that less than two days intervened, he
decided at once that St. Paul should not
be Outdone by Minneapolis if possible
and he sat down and wrote letters to
Rev. S. G. Smith, Rev A. B. Meldrum,
Rev Benz. Longley, Rev. Alex NcGregor
and other ministers, notifying them of his
object and asking them to call on him
this morning to arrange the details of
the meeting. The governor says he has
no doubt that they will heartily agree
with his project.
In his Mckinley Day circular, issued
last week, the governor urged the minis
ters TO preach a Mckinley sermon on
Sunday preceding his birthday, and sew
eral local preachers have signified their
intention to do so, and the governor felt
sure that although Ihe time was short,
the interest of the public could be easily
aroused and a big success made of such
a me citing.
The details Of the meeting will be ar
ranged today, and the preachers of the
city will announce the meeting from
their pulpits tomorrow morning, which
will insure large attendance.
Gov. Van SAINT has decided that he will
not accept the Minneapolis invitation,
but will stay in ST. Paul and be present
at the local meeting. He will undoubt-
edly be asked to speak at the meeting.
'T do not Doubt said the governor
yesterday, that ST. Paul will do itself
proud in observing this Mckinley memo
rial I expect that Minnesota viii
observe Jan. 29 with as great
devotion as any public occasion
was ever observed, and 1 am sure St.Paul
will do it's share in commemorating the
life of our martyred president by rous-
ing meeting on Sunday afternoon. While
the time is short, the occasion is such
that the merest notice will suffice to
bring out a large audience. Coming, as
il does so soon after the death of the
late president, and so close to the natal
day of Abraham Lincoln, surely the pa
triotic spirit of the people will be prompt
to respond
The place of meeting, the programme,
and all the details, will be arranged
this morning, when the ministers confer
with the governor.

Veteran Minnesota Railroad Bnilder Gives
Interesting Testimony in the Hear
ing on Rate Question at
Chicago.
Chicago.
HAS FACTS AT HIS FINGERS ENDS

CHICAGO. Jan. 24-James ]. Hill, pres
ident Of the Northern Securities company,
and president of the Great Northern
railway, testified for three am a quarter
hours before the interstate commerce
commission here today. In answer to
questions tending to show the effect of
the community of interests plan on rates
the veteran railroader declared that com
petition does not lower rates, uut on the
contrary, he believed that it advanced
them. He declared that in the Northwest,
where for twenty years the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern have been
at peace where one road has agreed with
the other on rates and maintained the
agreements, rates were lower than in
any other part of the country.
In regard to the purchase of the Bur
lington by the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern, Mr.. Hill declared that
the purchase was matter of necessity
and was not due to "a movement in line
with the trust idea He testified TO the
formation of the Northern Securities
company and in doing so gave a reason
far more simple than has generally been
cOnjectured.

than any other five states. Perhans

Iowa points better than the Burlington
/ know of none''
NEVER TRIED TO BUY
THE ST. PAUL ROAD.
Mr.. Day attempted to show by a long
line OF questions that the real reason for
taking over the Burlington was to form
sort Of trust, whereby Northwestern
rates would be absolutely in the hands
of Mr.. Hill and his friends
TO this Mr. Hill reiterated his previous
statement concerning the purchase Of the
Burlington
Mr.. Day-Is it true that before YOU
purchased the Burlington you were pro-
posing to buy the ST Paul?
mo, sir; an offer was made about SELL
ing the st. Paul and 1 told them it could
not be done for two reasl ns-the one be-
cause it was against the law, and the
other the st. Paul gave us nothing that
we practically had not before we would
buy it,
"Yes, but before fixed price was laid
on the st. Paul stock, were you or your
colleagues not endeavoring to secure he
st. Paul?"
mo, sir; the first thing 7 heard Of it
an officer connected with the st. Paul
asked Us to take it and 1 told him no.
Mr. Day then asked the witness il, after
the agreement to organize the Northern
Securities company had been reached, he
had exercised any control over, or given
any instructions to the managing officers
of the Northern Pacific regarding its op-
GRAFTON.

any instructions to the managing officers
of the Northern Pacific regarding its op-
Grafton.
ISSUED NO INSTRUCTIONS
TO OTHER ROAD OFFICIALS.
Mr.. Hill replied that he had issued no
instructions of any kind to the officials
Of the Northern Pacific. He also de-
clared that he had issued nc Instructions
to the officials of the Burlington, hut
when they had come to him ''for advice"
they had received it. Occasionally he had
volunteered advice and Thought they
would listen to it. The witness then en-
tered into a lengthy dissertation on the
effects of competition as he had observed
it.
Commissioner Clements repeatedly ques-
toned his assertion that competition does
not lower rates or tend to lower them, but
each time the veteran waved his eye
glasses emphatically and reiterated his
statement
1.-The railroad is a sort of mercurial
indication Of the state of the country
tributary to it," he declared "If the
country is poor the railroad will be poor.
A low rate is not the result Of compe-
tition; it merely shows how low rate
the railroad can afford to give. Do you
suppose that a man in absolute control
of a railroad, having no competition,
could raise rates to an unjust degree and
prosper? The minute he did so he would
hamper the commerce on which his road
lived and when he did that you would
hear of g road passing it's dividend.
lit is principle that a road must give
the lowest rate it can. 1 always do. We
have just granted reduction in the
Northwest, a considerable reduction, yet
there was no competition to force it.
Why did we do it? Because it is for the
good of the people in our territory and
therefore beneficial to us also. The pub
lie is entitled to a reasonable rate; that
is the law, and the common law, although
1 am no lawyer, and the railroads from
self-interest must grant it,
but suppose the rate is not reason
able from the shippers point of view?"
asked Commissioner Clements.
"Then he can go into court ana secure
a reasonable rate

'Out in Iowa." he said, g it was COM
pleted that the grain rate was too high.
We went out there and investigated and
discovered that the complaint was just
and ordered a reducton-a reduction to a
reasonable rate as you say. What hap
pened? The roads paid no attention to
it, and the courts decided that our ruI-

Mr.. Hill was then asked ii any agree
ment had been made, express or other
wise, respecting the division of traffic or
earnings which involves the Northern Pa
cifc, the Great Northern or the Burling-
ton He replied: mo, understanding, di-
rectly 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 a traffic agreement with any
