COURT CUTS THE TIE
49,. THAT DIDN'T BIND
Mrs. Anna Morgan Is Given Divorced
a,. by Judge Jassard.

Judge Jaggard yesterday granted the
prayer of Anna Morgan for a divorce
from Harvey G. Morgan to whom she
was married Jan. IS, 1902, only to be
deserted by him fifteen days later,
after he had succeeded in separating
her from what little money she had at
the time of their marriage.
Morgan conducted a Mexican leather
store on West Seventh street, and, ac-
cording to the testimony of his wife
In the divorce court yesterday,
dragged her from a sick bed the day
following their wedding and demand
ed that she go out in the city and can
vass for the sale of the goods in his
store. She protested, but was forced
to go, and on Feb. l, just fifteen days
after they had been married, her hus-
band left her.
In the meantime he had taken from
her SIS, all the money she had, and
after her desertion she secured a judg-
ment for this amount, but when the
officers went to the defendants store
for the purpose of levying on goods to
satisfy the Judgment, they found that
the husband had packed his goods and
departed for some place unknown.
Since that time Mrs. Morgan has
never heard Of her husband, and real
lzlng that she had been left in desti-
tute' circumstances, she instituted pro-
eeedings for divorce, which resulted in
her being awarded a decree yesterday.

GOV. RAMSEY'S FAVORITE
PICTURE Is ENGRAVED
A $3.50 Steel Plate Is Made From His
Last Photograph.

The finest picture of the late Gov.
Ramsey that has been given to the
public has been produced since the
death of the distinguished Minnesotan.
1t is in the form of a steel engraving,
made from the governors favorite pho
tOgraph.
Six months before his death Gov.
Ramsey sat for a photograph, which
was an excellent likeness, bringing
out all the strong lines in face that
was really remarkable. This photo
graph was sent by the Legal Publish
ing and Engraving company, of Min
neapolis, which is preparing "a His
tory Of the Bench and Bar Of Mime
sota,'' to a noted New York engraving
house, with instructions to make a
steel engraving without regard to cost.
Williamson & Williamson produced a
steel engraving that is really a mag
nificent specimen of the engraver's
art. The head is four and a half
inches across, one of the largest made.
Every line and feature of the face is
preserved, and the engraving shows
the late governor as his fellow citi-
zens knew him at the last The work
has been much commented upon and
has ELECTED much favorable remarks
since the engravers' proofs were re-
eeived in this city and Minneapolis.
The plate Is said to have cost $3.50.

Body of Unidentified Man Dis
covered Near Fort
Smelling.

The body of a man, so badly de-
composed as to be totally beyond rec
ognition. was found floating in the
Mississippi river near Fort Smelling
yesterday afternoon. The body had
probably been in the water about seven
Or eight months. for the features were
completely obliterated.
- On account of the condition Of the
body, Coroner Miller ordered it buried
yesterday afternoon.
The body was that of q man feet 8
inches tall, weighing about 100 pounds.
1t was impossible to ascertain the
mans age, on account of the decompo-
sition.
On the body was a double truss,
made of black japanned Steel The

coat, grayish white heavy ribbed
sweater and trousers of dark color,

MIL WAUKEE ROAD
WILL IMPROVE ITS
FAST MAIL SERVICE
Trains to Be Equipped With
Rolling Stock Equal to That
Used i'm the Makeup of the
Pioneer Limited.

The Milwaukee, fast mail train is
to be equipped with rolling stock equal
to that used in the makeup of the
Pioneer Limited.
The announcement, which was made
yesterday, came from a semi official
source. Northwestern Passenger
Agent Dixon is out of the city and his
assistants refused to either affirm or
deny the story. However, passenger
men connected with other st. Paul
Chicago lines say that the Milwaukee
has made all preparations to change
the equipment of the fast mail, and
that the new service will become OPP
eratiVe before the close of the present
month.
In placing an additional train of
first-class equipment in service. the
Milwaukee is making a new move in
the rate and time-cutting war The
addition of a f1rst-class train leaving
St. Paul between and s O'Clock will
place the Milwaukee in a position to
make a bid for a great share of the
Chicago business now carried on the
Well-equipped trains of the other lines,
which leave an hour or two earlier
than the Pioneer Limited. 1t is said
that the milwaukee eS competitors have
contended in soliciting business that
that line runs no first-cIass train out
of st. Paul until $50 o'clock, the leav-
ing time of the Pioneer Limited.
1t is to meet this competition that
the officials of the Milwaukee have de-
cided to place in service a thoroughly
equipped first-class train, equal in
every respect to the other lines linn
tied trains.
All the coaches and sleepers to be
used in the makeup Of the new train
have recently been built at the roads
West Milwaukee shops. Besides the
standard sleepers and chair cars the
train will be provided with cafe, OBJ
servatiOn and buffet cars.
Just what effect the action of the
Milwaukee will have on the other lines
is unknown. By placing it's new train
in service the Milwaukee becomes the
only st. Paul-Chicago line with two
f1rst-class equipped trains leaving
nightly for Chicago. The change
places the road in a position to bid
for both early and late passenger traf-
tic, as the fast maifs leaving time is
1885, two hours earlier than the de-
parting time of the Pioneer Limited,
and an hour earlier than the leaving
time Of the Omaha. Then the fast mail
makes the run to Chicago in eleven
and half hours, which is thirty min
uteS quicker than the time made by
the other limited trains.
The Omaha yesterday announced a
cut in time in it's north-bound sched-
uIe, to meet the reduction made sew
eral weeks ago by the Burlington
Hereafter the limited will arrive in ST.
Paul at Z a. m, instead of at 1925. A
reduction in the running time of the
Omaha's fast mail was also made, and
that train will now leave St Paul at
6:35 in the evening, instead of COS.
and will arrive at Chicago at Z O'Clock
the following morning, making the run
in twelve hours and twenty five min
uteS.

State Historical Society Re-
ceiveS Picture or Treaty of !.
Prairie du Chen.

Mention was made IN T he Glob e
OF recent date regarding the PROPOSE.
ton of the Historical society of the
state in connection with the proposed
character of the mural paintings to
decorate the new capitol It was pro-
posed by that body that the painting
of Mayer, THE Conference at Trav-
erse des Sioux" be useasass a basis for
these decorations.
1t is an incident worthy of note that
directly upon the heels of this should
come from a former Minnesotan the
only copy of the great conference held
In 1925, at Prairie du Chen, Wis. This
picture was sent to the Historical So
ciety by Rev. Joseph A. Gillian, for
merly missionary among the White
Earth Indians, but who, because Of
broken health, has for "a few years
past resided in Washington.
The similarity Of the general nature
Of the picture by Mayer and the: one
received from Rev. Gilfl1an is remark
able. In both the canopies- Of inter
woven branches, under which the
chiefs Of bothsWf1ites and Indians sat
and communed and smoked, are plains
ly to be seen. Tall slender poles. We're
driven into the ground, a. framework
was built upon them, and interviewer
with these were green branches and
boughs. It is said that at this confer
eHCe at Ffdlrle gu Ch1en- there were
5000 present. Gov. Lewis Cass,
Of Michigan, was y there, as well
as William Clark. of the famous Lewis
and Clark expedition.
Secretary Upham considers the pic
ture as almost priceless, it being re-
garded as the only authentic one ex-
tapt. It shows clearly the manner in
which the soldiers of that day dressed,
bright blue long COATS white trousers
and high cockaded hats. A little of
the Mississippi is visible. The main
background is filled with the thou
sands of Indians. 81

An ordinance authorizing the issu-
anee of 100000 worth of improvement
bonds and also one calling for $50, 600
to aid in the macadamizing of West
Seventh street, from Aurora to Fort
Smelling, may make it's appearance at
the next meeting Of the>board of alder
men.
The sinking fund commission, COM
posed of Mayor Smith, City Comp
trolIer Betz and City Treasurer Bre-
mer, met yesterday afternoon and con-
sidered the proposition, and while no
definite conclusion was reached re-
gardfng the two bond issues, they will
undoubtedly materialize in few
weeks. The meeting was private one
and all information was refused on the
ground that nothing official had been
sdaIe.
The authority to issue the contem-
plated bonds is vested in the law pass
ed by the last legislature which au-
thorizes an issue of 100000, the same
to be spread over a period of three
years. There was some doubt at first

improvements that would otherwise

OBJECTS TO SECRECY.
Mr.. Stubbs Criticises the Interstate Com
merce Commission.


CHICAGO, June 25.-The practice of the
interstate commerce commission of in
Vestigating charges against railroads
where the inquiry is based on secret in
titors. was criticised today by j. c.
Stubs, traffic director for the Hartman
system MIR. Stubs appeared before the
commission to defend the Union Pacific
Railroad company on a charge that the
corporation has been allowing f H.
Peavey & Co.. grain dealers at Omaha
and Kansas City. rebates in the form Of
against the Union Pacific is said to have
been furnished the interstate commerce
commission comm ssh by q high official of the
pete unless permitted to grant similar
rebates to grain shippers.
General Counsel Baldwin. of the Union
Pacific, asked to see the complaint, and
| Chairman Knapp explained that no formal
complaint had been filed. He said the
commission was acting upon informat ton
obtained secretly
THE commission is making this inves-
tlgatlon Tor its own information" said
Chairman Knapp. I'VE are frequently
compelled to pursue this course where the
person supplying US with the information
has insufficient evidence to warrant the
filing of formal charges. We do not know
that this company has violated the law,
but We feel 1t our duty to inquire into
the matter in the interest of public poll
cy: If the practice of your company is le-
gal then other roads may desire to do
the same thing"
Mr.. Stubs then said: ''Are we not to
be given an opportunity to face our ac-
cusers? If we are charged with any
thing. we want to see the complaint and
present our defense in the regular manner.
1t Is possible for an officer of a COM
peting road to go to Washington, take
the commission into closet make
charges against this road and then have
this commission order an investigation
and place the burden of proving our inno-
cence upon us. I protest against this
method OF doing business. We have all the
information you desire and are prepared
to give it, but we would prefer to have
our accuser come out and fight in the
OPEN
Chairman Knapp replied that in the
absence of written charges the commits
sion would appear as complainant He
then ordered the inquiry to proceed, and
}. A. Monroe. freight traffic manager of
the Union Pacific, was called as the first
witness. The inquiry will be resumed to-

WILL ORDER A REDUCTION.
Minnesota's Coal and Lumber Rates to Be
Reduced.

The state railroad and warehouse COM
mission yesterday held an alI-day private
conference with the traffic officials of
Minnesota roads relative to the proposed
reduction in coal and lumber rates No
agreement was reached, and those who
attended the conference were not Opposed
to talk about it,
1t is known that the railroad and ware
house commission has decided there must
be a reduction of rates. Just what proDo-
Sltion has been made to the roads, and
which was the subject of discussion yes
terday. has not been made public, and
1t IS the merest guess work to say what
the demands Of the commission are
The railroads have not shown the will
1ngneSS to compromise that was at first
predicted by some. Any reduction in Min
nesota on coal and lumber rates would
entail a reduction in joint and through
rates in neighbOring states, affecting so
much territory that considering the vol
ume of the traffic, the aggregate decrease
In the carriers revenue would be con-
siderable.
The roads are laying much stress on
the fact that the authority of the com
mission to reduce joint rates is as vet
unsettled. The commission is none the
less decided that a reduction must be
made. but if possible desires to order a
reduction. which the roads will not deem
so unreasonable as to warrant an appeal

matter for some months.
