ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 6-Meager reports

with crash into the capitol rotunda, mar

Sioux City about o'clock, starting in with
fine rain which turned to snow. The
thermometer sank rapidly and the wind

kind almost impossible. The storm has
shown no sign of abatement and it is feared
its fury may last for forty-eight hours. BY

be practically at standstill and fears are
entertained for settlers in the country. The
weather for some days had been extremely
mild and pleasant and 1t is feared many
settlers may have been caught out upon the
shelterless prairies. Fuel is very scarce in
some sections and the cold wave which nat
urally will follow the blizzard will cause
an increase of suffering.

The most representative gathering OF
civic pride the city has ever known was
that which filled the banquet hall of the
Columbia Club last night. The occasion
was the inspirational meeting arranged by
the joint committee of the Merchants AS
sociation and the Fall Festival Association
i'm the interest of the projected coliseum
The gathering included representatives OF
the mercantile. professional, financial and
industrial elements of the city and dis
played strength in each that was telling
as to the universal interest in the project.
Later the real strength behind the project
developed, when after the speeches, in a
short time s65.OOO was subscribed to a coli
scum fund, indicating that the success OF
the scheme is assured.
The banquet hall has seldom been so or
nately decorated. The tables were arranged
i'm the shape of horse shoe, from the head
of which long. straight line of tables ex-
tended to the open end. The spaces were
filled with foliage plants of great size and
beauty and the tables were decorated with
heaps of white and American Beauty roses
and carnations and rich candeabra. The
menu, the service. the appointments were
w
compliments from all. The arrangement OF
the tables disclosed the fact that every
guest was within easy hearing distance of
any speaker. The menu was in nine courses
and its discussion occupied an hour and a
half When cafe nor and cigars were

Before the guests entered the banquet

asking the views of Mr.. Knox. The attor-
ney general says in part:
Il think IL proper enough to briefly pre-
mise such suggestions as / shall make for
immediate action by statement of some
OF the reasons on which they are based.
The end desired by the overwhelming ma
jority of the people of all sections of the
country is that combinations of capital
should be regulated and not destroyed and
that measures should be taken to correct
the tendency toward monopolization OF the
industrial business Of the country. In my
Judgment, monopoly in any industry
would be impossible in this country, where
money Is abundant and cheap and In the
hands or within the reach of keen and
capable men. If competition were assured
OF fair and open field and protected
against unfair discrimination Two or
more persons or corporations cannot by
any combination or arrangement between
themselves either contract or expand tne
rights OF others to engage IN a similar ar
business. The utmost they can do Is 10
discourage the disposition TO do so Dy re-
stricting the opportunities, or by securing
to themselves some exclusive facilities or
the enjoyment of some common facllltles
upon exclusive terms
.'If the law will guarantee to the smaller
producer protection against piratical meth
DDS in competition and keep the highways
the same tolls charged to his powerful
competitor, he will manage to live and
thrive to an astonishing degree.
'Individualism In production has its ad-
vantages as well as combination. Small in
dividual enterprises not uncommonly
spring up and thrive within the shadow
of the larger ones, though enjoying none
of their supposed advantages of control
OF courses of raw material, fuel and trans
portation facilities. yet realizing large
profit per ton OF output becs rse of the close
economies possible through direct, per-
sonal, interested management.
Mr.. Knox suggests legislation directed
against those who give and receive ad-
vantages enabling discrimination in prices
as against competitors-this to take the
form Of penaliZiIg the transportation of
goods, and federal courts should be given
the power to restrain such transportation.
He says the present law is not sufficient
to meet existing conditions. The operation
of any law on the subject he thinks should
be Limited 10 common carriers subject to
the act to regulate commerce. IAN addi-
tional provision should be made" he says,

UNCLE SAM CRUEL.
Would Not Permit n Consul to Sport a
5000 Uniform Free of Duty.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 6-Charles
Earle Currie, Danish consul at Louisville,
has ordered shipped back to Copenhagen a
$500 full dress uniform which he purchased
for the purpose of wearing at state func-
tions because the United States govern
ment would not admit the garments duty

Currie. ito have the uniform entered duty

been unable TO accomplish 1t. / think, in
view of the favors rendered this country by
Denmark, the duty of'$200 should have been
removed, but the government did not see 1t
that way.
When Mr.. Currie decided to reship, how
ever, another complication arose. Duty ac-
crues on imported articles as soon as they
enter the country, Mr.. Currie owed the
government the duty whether he took the
suit or not. The department finally grant

RAISING MONEY IN KANSAS CITY.
Mr.. Clendening was introduced next, his
topic being, How We Raised the Money
for Convention Hail." Mr.. Clendening Is
the secretary of the Kansas City Coliseum
Company and was one of its most active
promoters. He said he had no flowers OF
speech, but he was glad TO find that he was
bringing a greeting from the greatest in
land city in the world to the greatest in
land city in the world. Until he heard
Mayor Bookwalter he said he thought Kan

He had never been able to answer, even
to himself, the question how the Kansas

keynote and must always be. Unless IL Is

in six days, re-emphasized what had been
said. The people cried for great building.
