QUERY FOR R. RS
Is 3 Cents Per Mile a Reasonable
Passenger Rate?
RAILROAD COMMISSION ASKS
problem Comes Up as Result of Daily
Resolution Passed at Extra
Session.

Is cents mile reasonable rate for
passenger traffic in Minnesota? Every
railroad in the state will be required by
resolution of the railroad and ware
house commission, passed this morning,
to answer this question. The railways
will be summoned to appear on April %
for a hearing.
This act Of the commission is in pur-
suance OF the DAILY resolution, adopted at
the extra session of the legislature. BY
it's terms the commission is directed to
inquire whether passenger rates may not
be reduced to 21a cents a mile, with a
lower rate for second-class travel
The problem confronting the commission
is big one. The state can exercise au-
thority only over rates within Minnesota.
Any interference with state rates, how
ever, Is bound to affect the entire situa-
ton in the northwest 1t will be neces-
sary to divide passenger earnings from
freight earnings, passenger earnings
within the state from through business,
and to make the same division of operat-
ing expenses. The problem is one for a
master of finance.

Leopold of Belgium in Uncomfort-
ably Close Touch With Socialists,
Brussels April 8. = King Leopold was
lnobbed by socialists this afternoon on his
arrival here from Biarritz
The meeting between the socialists and
the king was accidental, but it was none
the less unpleasant for his majesty whose
automobile was surrounded by excited So
cialists who shouted: Long live the re-
public!" Long live universal suffrage!"
and waved red flags in the kings face.
The socialists had collected at the rail-
road station to bid farewell to delega
ton of Spanish republican deputies who
had attended the socialist gatherings
here: and who had participated in VIC
lent demonstration last night, The police
this morning informed the Spaniards that
they must leave Brussels forthwith, and
the delegates were escorted to the station
by a large gathering Of socialists bearing
red flags. The king happened to arrive
at the same time and had difficulty in
getting his auto out of the crowd, but he
finally found an opening and outdistanced
his pursuers.

MAY RE.ENACT
GEARY LAW
Pending Chinese Exclusion
Bill Seems Likely to Fail
of Passage.
Statement from Gallinger
Changes Views of North
western Senators.
From The Journal Bureau, Room a5 P,ss
Building, Washington. -

Fro, From The Journal Bureau. Room 70. Post
Building, Washington. - :
Washington, April 9.-The prospects
FOR the final passage of the Chinese ex-
clusion bill have been materially lessened
by statement of Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire that census reports show
that the Chinese in California have de-
creased in number 40 per cent and in tho
whole country 20 per cent since 1890 under
the operation of the Geary law.
1t is believed that practically all the
northwestern senators will, on the
strength of Gallinger's statements, vote
for the re-enactment of the Geary law
treaties in 1904 .
w. w. Jermane
Washington, April s-Mr. Gallinger
On. H) spoke in the senate against the
Chinese exclusion bill to-day He de-
clared that the bill was "uncalled for.
unnecessary, unwise and un-American 1t
is harsh in it's provisions, unjust in it's
definitions and clearly in contravention
OF our solemn treaty obligations" The
proposed legislation was marrow, big
oCeu dHu lHde1euS1Dle, ana added:
I'VE are asked to support it because of
certain alleged abuses IN California and
on the Pacific coast. Had not the sena-
tors from the Pacific states fathered the
measure. it might well be attributed to
the fertile brain of some sand-lot agi-
tator." -.t s4.r>0E
Mr.. Gallinger maintained that the pend
ing subject was matter for diplomatic
negotiation and not for congressional ac-
ton. In this connection he read Minis
ter Wu's recent letter to Secretary Hay
in which he protested aginst the enact
ment of the bill, declaring that it would
disturb the friendly relations between The
United States and China. Mr.. Gallinge1
urged that congress be just in dealing
| with China and extend to that empire the
same proper treatment it extends to other
nations.
Mr.. Turner (Wash.) followed in support
OF the bill. He maintained that American
labor ought not to be pauperized and pa
ganized by the admission of Chinese.
The senate committee on immigration
to-day decided to report the house Chi
nese exclusion bill to the senate This
action was taken without any definite in:
tention of substituting that bill for the
senate bill, but with the view of having
it available for that purpose if considered
desirable. The two are much alike

August SchIosa Pedaled a Heart
Breaking Race Against Death
and Lost.
He Saw His Wife, Standing Upon
Her Baby's Grave, Shoot
Herself Twice.

Just as August Schlosa wheeled into
st. Anthony cemetery this forenoon, he
saw his wife step upon her babys grave
and draw a revolver from her bosom.
Realizing that it was her intention to
end her life, he pedaled frantically down
the narrow aisles towards her. Before
he had covered half the distance he saw
a jet Of smoke and heard the ring of a
shot. Mrs. Schlosa had sent bullet
into her temple.
AS the woman fell across the grave
she summoned her strength, replaced the
muzzle of the weapon against her head
and fired a second shot before her hus-
band could reach her. Both bullets pen
etrated the skull. Help was called and
the wounded woman taken to the city
hospital where she died at 2:3O this aft
ernoon. She was % years old.
A Family Quarrel.
Mr.. Schlosa believes his wife desired to
end her life because of a quarrel with her
mother, Mrs. Theresa Barge, who lives at
1419 Marshall street NE. The husband
did not know the nature of this trouble.
He told the police that there had been
some misunderstanding between the
mother and daughter, but that his wife
had never told him word about it.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. schlosa left
her home at 1414 Grand street NE, and
told no one where she was going or how
long she would be gone. When Mr..
Schlosa returned from his work at the
he found the two children alone. He Tn
quired in. the neighborhood but no one
knew anything as to the whereabouts of
the missing woman. Neighbors aided him
in the search last night and this morning
Schlosa reported the disappearance to the
police. He left with them description
of his wife and her photograph. Officers
were instructed to search for her.
Telephoned to Her Husband.
During the forenoon Schlosa, who had
returned to his work at the brewery, re-
ceived telephone message from his wife.
She would not tell him where she was but
asked him anxiously:
"You will take care Of the children
won't you, Anguish" Schlosa said that be
would, but inquired why she asked, and
also urged her fervertly to return home
He also asked why she had left, but to all
of these questions she gave evasive an
swers and hung up the phone.
| About 11:05 there was another tele-
phone call for Schlosa. 1t was from his
1 wife. He had determined to learn from

HngtOn, Cedar Rapids Il Northern rOauS,
the extent OF improvements to be made by
them this year will not be known. In
order to outwind the Commercial Club and
council in the fight started last year, the
Omaha utilized some Of its property on
the East Side for storage tracks to re-
lieve the down town yards. But this ar
rangement is inconvenient and with bust
ness rolling out on all of the roads at such
a fast clip, the Omaha would welcome the
long sought concession from the council.
The officials Of the road are said to realize
that Minneapolis has something coming
from the Omaha, but do not want to have
it said that the Commercial Club forced
them to grant any concession. The Oma-
ha estimates the total improvements at
has in view on its north Minneapolis
property at 1000. Those planned by
the Cedar Rapids will also reach large
figure. s-a
The big increase in traffic has forced the
Wisconsin Central to enlarge it's new
freight depot. The building will be in
creased to three stories and the two up
per floors built out over the tracks. The
engineering department Of the road is
preparing plans for the filling in work on
Boom island and building additional
tracks ..
New 500 Storage Tracks.
me 500 Will build tracks at Its Shore
ham yards for the accommodation of 400
more cars. The Minneapolis & St. Louis
will increase it's track capacity. The Mil
waukee has room for 700 more cars on
it's terminals here than it had at this
time one year ago. The Milwaukee be-
gan its improvements early last year and
is now finishing the work. The big short
line bridge over the Mississippi which was
begun early in the spring last year, was
completed last Friday at noon by the lay
ing Of double track. This is one of
the best bridges on the entire system.
Great Western improvements include
the building OF team tracks on Second
street between Tenth and Eleventh ave-
nues which will facilitate the handling
of local freight shipped over that line.
The trainshed at the Great Western pas
senger station will be remodeled and i'm
proved.
With the Wisconsin Central using it's
own terminals this year, the crowded con
! dition of the Northern Pacific tracks is
relieved. The Northern Pacific will not
be required to build new storage tracks
with the exception of some additional ca
pacity at Northtown Junction.
The Burlington uses the Great Northern
| terminals. The increase in business
which that road is enjoying contributes
| to the necessity Of the Great Northern
| for more terminal facilities.

Building, Washington.
Washington, April 9.-Marcus Johnson
came back from New York to-day to push
along his candidacy for collector of GUS
toms in Minnesota. Without quoting
either senator, am in a position to know
that MIR. Johnson's candidacy will amount
to nothing. Mr.. Peterson, of Nicollet
county, will be reapDointed collector.
Fred Won Baumbach will not come up for
reappcintment as collector Of internal
revenue, because his original commission
is for no specified term. He will serve
until removed.
The other federal office holders of the
state are in for four years each. Mar
shall GrimsEaw's case is not being con-
sidered now. for he has another year to

central, If possible, where the call came
from so that he might find his wife, but
this Was unnecessary. Mrs. Schlosa said:
Meet me at the cemetery at 1880.
August; I want to see YOU.
Which cemetery?" asked the anxious
huahand.
'.At Central and Twenty-eighth," she
replied Nov, be there at 1890: will
you?"
How the Tryst Was Kept.
Schlosa said that he would. He could
not understand why his wife was acting
so strangely and, happy to have an OPP
portunity to meet her and to talk with
her about her mysterious behavior, he left
his work and mounting wheel started
out Central avenue towards the trysting
place.
At Twenty-eighth avenue he turned in
at the corner gate and down the path
leading across the cemetery. He saw
his wife standing at the other side of the
enclosure, a distance of little more than
a block. She saw him and waved her
hand. His heart leaped gladly, but the
next moment it almost stopped, as he
saw.her step upon a grave and draw from
her dress an object of sinister glitter.
He realized then what her actions
meant. His only hope was to reach her
before she pulled the trigger. He in-
creased the speed of the wheel, but he
had not passed two lots before he saw
the smoke and heard the shot.
Mrs. Schlosa was standing with her
face toward her approaching husband, and
he saw her every move distinctly. The
revolver was placed against the temple
and the shot fired. AIS the woman fell,
she again placed the revolver to her head
and fired. Schlosa abandoned his wheel
and went leaping and bounding over the
cemetery lots and grave mounds towards
his wife. When he reached her she was
lying PROSTATE across the grave, the
revolver gripped in her hand. The wounds
were bleeding profusely. In pocket in
her dress was found a razor she had taken
/ from her home.
Two pedestrians also saw the shooting
They hurried towards the fallen woman,
and when they saw that the bullets had
penetrated the head, sent for nearby
physician, who dressed the wounds ha1r-
riedly and had the body taken to engine
house No. Is, at Twenty-fifth and Cen
trail. From there call was sent in for
the patrol wagon and the young woman
was removed to the city hospital
! On the way to the hospital the husband
! held his Wife's hand and tried earnestly
| tos talk with her. At one time he said:
| why did you do this, Anna?''
Mrs. Schlosa could not answer, although
she evidently understood.
! "WaS it because of me, Anna?" he
urged
| The young woman shook her head fee
! bly,.
''Was it because of your mother?''
Schlosa asked.
| Mrs. Schlosa nodded her head still
more feebly.
But, oh. Anna, did you not think OF
me, and the children?.' implored the
husband

RENOVATED BUTTER

Made in the O1eo Bill.

according to program, was to-day sent
back to the house committee on agricul-
ture 1t will be promptly reported back
and it is said the house will accept the

Mr.. Adams, dairy commissioner Of Wis
consin, thinks the house may change the
renovated butter section so as to exclude
from its operation the country merchants
and small dealer who mix butter Of diff
ferent makes, but apply no chemicals or
deodorizing process. This will make the
section apply to renovated butter fac
tories only.

sition gates The march was continued
through the Grove street gate and then
