Miss Xxi" Wilson, for Many
Years the Cashier of City
Railway Company, De-
spondent Through Ill
Health. Kills Herself
Seeks Death by Carbolic
Acid-Was Very Popular at
Home.

Miss Caroline E. Wilson, for many
years. the cashier in the local offices
of the ST. Paul City Railway company,
committed suicide at Long Beach, Cal,
Wednesday night, by taking carbolc
acid. Dependency over ill health was
the cause
The Associated Press brought the
news to st. Paul last night, putting a
period to the last sad chapter in the
blighted life Of a St. Paul girl, who for
eighteen years cared for the financial
affairs of the street car company.
Miss XII was the familiar name by
which she was known to the thou
sands who did business with the COM
pany and she, was very popular with
the employees of, the company.
About eighteen months ago she left
for Long Beach with her mother and
sister for her health. Never strong;
close confinement wrecked her health,
and it was with the hope, of regaining
it that she resigned and went West.
Friends here were under the i'm
preston that she was improving and
the news of her suicide will come as a.
shock. In spite of her continued i'll
ness in st. Paul and the confirming ma
ture of her duties, she was always Of
cheerful nature and death by her
own hand was never anticipated.
Officially Miss Wilson was known as
secretary and treasurer of the st. Paul
City Railway company and because Of
her long service was looked upon as a
FIXTURE Thousands OF dollars of the
eompany's money passed annually
through her hands and the books of
the corporation were under her super
vision.
you can't say too much that is good
about Miss XII was the comment of a
street railway official last night. ..She
was g; good girl and we. always liked
her. We pitied her because of her
poor health and hoped that she would
regain it when she Went West
Miss Wilson was thirty nine years
of age, and while in ST. Paul resided
at 713 Laurel avenue with her widowed
mother, Mrs. Addie M. Wilson, and
sister Gertrude.
The body will be brought to st. Paul
for burial

WANT SEPARATE BALLOT.
Two Propositions for Submission of
Amendments introduced in House.

Two Propositions for Submission of
Amendments introduced in House.
Bills relative to attempts to amend
the constitution played the larger part
in the proposed legislation submitted
to the house yesterday
OF the four bills introduced yester-
day, one, introduced by Mr. Ganrud,
provides for resubmission to the peo-
pie of the proposition for an amend
ment permitting the investment Of the
permanent university and school funds
in municipal bonds. The amendment
proposed is identical with the propo-
sition defeated at the last election.
Two other bills provide for submits
sion of propositions for constitutional
amendments to the people on separate
ballots. One is fathered by Mr.. Ganrud,
the other by Mr.. Haugland. Both are
in line with the recommendations Of
the executive message and differ only
slightly in the machinery of the pro-
posed law, Mr.. Haugland's bill provid-
lrg that the amendment ballot be
printed on yellow paper.
The first bill introduced in the house
was presented by Mr.. Johnson, of
Hennepin, who desires to increase the
number OF township road supervisors
from three to four. The bill further
provides for abolition of the time
honcred system of working out road
taxes and for their payment in cash.
The house evidenced a determined
disposition against railroading meth
DDS of legislation. Mr.. johnson asked
that his bill be given a first, second
and third reading under suspension of
the rules and placed on it's final pas
sage. The murmurs of protest which
went up from all parts of the house
indicated storm brewing, and Mr..
johnson hastily recalled his request.

TRUSTS BACKING
Mr.. MERRIAM
Want Him Instead of Cor
telyou for Secretary OF
Commerce.
From Globe Washington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S.-Con-
WINGED that President Roosevelt will
accomplish his purpose to secure a de-
partment of commerce, with q new
member of his cabinet to be known as
the secretary of commerce, the trusts,
which will come under the jurisdiction
of the new department, are beginning
to take time by the forelock. Next
thing to defeating q law is to defeat
the administration OF the law. The
way to defeat the administration Of q
law is to control the appointment Of
the man who is to administer it.
A coterie of senators, together with
some members of the house, has de-
ternined to prevent the appointment
of George B. Cortelyou to be secretary
of commerce. 1t has nothing against
CQrteIyou except that he is the choice
of President Roosevelt for this place.
It is reasonable to infer that Roose-
welt believes the man he chooses will
enforce the laws as he finds them. 1t
is the expectation of the president and
many others now that some kind of
an antitrust law will be put on the
books. Thus it would fall to Cortel-
you's lot to make effective any legisla-
ton framed in restraint Of the trusts.
Ex-Gov. William r. Merriam, di-
rector of the census, is the man upon
whom the interests have united to de-
feat Cortelyou. Behind Merriam are
such powerful men as Hanna, Aldrich,
Quay, Platt, of Connecticut, Beveridge,
Elkins, Nelson, Depew and Perkins. In
the list will be recognized some of the
senators most VIGOROUSLY representing
trust interests. There are Standard
Oil, sugar. railroads. tin plate, ship
ping, tobacco and the rest.
1t will be noted by the careful OBJ
server that geography will not divide
the statesmen who unite on a candi-
date to defeat the presidents candi-
date. The main thing is to put up a
united front against the president and
to insure that the administration OF
his antitrust statute be mildly agree
able to the trusts.

WOULD MANDAMUS
SECRETARY OF WAR
Army Lieutenant Objects Being Put rs
Numbers Behind.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 8.-Hen-
ry M. Daugherty, a second lieutenant
iii the United States artillery corps.
filed in the District supreme court a
suit for mandamus against Secretary
Root, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and all the
second Heutenants in the artillery
branch of the artillery corps above
him to compel his restoration on the
list of that grade. The case is the
outgrowth of the Encouragement of the
list Of lieutenants, which Lieut. Daugh-
Srty says reduced him ky seventy
five numbers, and would cause many
years delay in his promotion to the
grade of captain. Daugherty is a West
Point graduate, and claims that the
manner of the readjustment of the list
8nG his consequent reduction in rank
were unlawful
Another suit was filed by First
Lieutenant Frank 3. Edwards. of the
artillery corps, who claims that nv
the recent Encouragement of the rel
atiye rank of the artillery corps the
war department has caused a large
number Of army officers in the volun
teer army to rank above him, con-
trary to the law governing the army.

FIGHT IN COLLEGE
OF CARDINALS
Feared Transfer of Catholic
Church Headship to
United States.
Special Cable to The Globe.

Special Cable to The Globe.
. PARIS, Jan. S.-"Before Bishop Quig-
ley was named for archbishop of the
diocese of Chicago one Of the most bit
ter fights in the recent history of the
college Of cardinals took place." said
one of the highest ecclesiastical digni-
taries in Paris, who has just returned
from Rome.
Bishop Spalding," he continued,
twas not appointed for the same rea-
son that Able Klein, professor in the
Catholic institute at Paris, failed to
be appointed to Monaco, although he
was openly preferred by the Prince of
Monaco. Both Spalding and Klein are
suspected of 'Americanism,' a supposed
movement alleged to have been con-
United States for the destruction of
the present papal power and the trans
fer of the headship of the Roman
Catholic church to America which so
excited the Catholic world four years
ago.
Bishop Spalding's long and bril-
liant services to the churches. and es-
pecially the part he took in the foun-
dation of the University of Wash
ington, entitled him in the eyes of all
unbiased judges in Europe to the i'm
portant diocese of Chicago. In spite,
however, of his many supporters, both
inside and outside the sacred college.
the bugbear of 'Americanism,' in which
Pope Leo still thoroughly believes,
made his chances from the first more
than meager, although his friends
fought q plucky fight. The reasons
given for not choosing Bishop Spald-
ing-his being over age and his lack
of activity-are formulas which Go not
mislead any one regarding the true
reason"

MITCHELL CLASHES
WITH CHAIRMAN GRAY
Breezy Little Incident of the Coal
Strike Investigation.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. S.-Pres-
1dent Mitchell today took exception to
q remark made by Chairman Gray, of
the coal strike commission, when Judge
Gray said that he would like to see
the miners union come out of the mire
and into the sunlight. The miners
president said the union should not be
indicted unless a connection could be
shown between it and acts of lawless-
ness. The head of the commission
replied that he did not wish to indict
the organization, but hoped it would
disentangle itself entirely from vio-
lence and laWlessness committed dur
ing the strike
The incident came unexpectedly
while a witness was on the stand, and
caused a stir among the lawyers for
both sides of the controversy. Outside
of this tilt the entire day was taken
up in hearing non-union men or their
relatives, who alleged prosecutions
during the strike.

AFTER CANADIAN
RECIPROCITY
Minnesota Hope
to Secure 1t by Knocking
Out Treaties.
From Globe Washington Bureau.

FROM GLOBE Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. SIN
order to secure Canadian reciprocity
at some future time, members of the
Minnesota delegation in congress and
other members from the Northwest.
have concluded that the death of the
Cuban and all other reciprocity treaties
is the most advisable step at the pres
ent time. One of them said, in dis
cussing the matter today:
'Our only hope is to close these little
bloWholes-these safety outlets-and
let the steam accumulate. We want
reciprocity. We want tariff revision.
But we of the Northwest cannot get
anything at this session which will
benefit us. Certain New England in
terests, having investments in Cuban
sugar, are willing that the Cuban
treaty be ratified at this session. Then
there is considerable talk about the
other treaties. But that is mere talk.
There is no serious intention to ratify
them. Now, we would be foolish to
lend ourselves to the purposes of the
rest and get nothing for our section
of the country. All reciprocity and re-
vision projects should be Jumped to-
gether at this session and squelched.
And it is my judgment that this is
what will be done
In any event, there is not the ghost
of show for any revising of the tar
if at this session which will heIp our
part of the country. The reciprocity
that we want is reciprocity with Can
ada. We would profit by better trad
ing arrangements with some of the
European nations; but Canada is of
more Importance. But we will never
get it-never get anything of the sort.
except in trade with the East. We
must wait for a general revision of the
tariff. We must wait until the coun-
try wants the tariff revised, and wants
it so badly that the Eastern senators
and representatives cannot resist the
pressure. The less we give at this time
the sooner that pressure will come.
We are going to stand for absolute
defeat of all tariff alteration at this
session of congress. Then we will see
what happens"

GERMANS BANQUET
ON HORSE MEAT
Six Hundred Participants in
One Of the Strangest of
Functions.

BERLIN, Jan. Six hundred peo-
pie sat down tonight to the most re-
markable banquet that ever has been
given in Berlin. The dishes consisted
entirely of horse meat and were serv-
ed in various forms. The society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
issued the invitations to the dinner,
which was given for the purpose of
demonstrating the nourishing and pal
atable qualities of horse meat, thereby
causing increased consumption of the
meat and a ready market for old
horses. This would prevent owners
from working the poor animals to
death, as well-fed specimens would
bring good prices.
The bill Of fare consisted Of horse
soup, picked horse tongue, filet of
horse and roast horse. All Of the
dishes were nicely prepared and were
greatly. relished. The presiding officer
of the society, Privy Councillor Won
Seofeld, said 10000 horses had been
eaten in Berlin last year and that he
hoped for a large increase in the fu-
ture. Many prominent members of the
reichstag and of the city council were
present

The few followers of the state CEN
trail committee disposed to prolong the
fight over the organization of the house
received another summary turning
down yesterday in a short scrimmage
over the adoption Of the report of the
committee on rules.
George w. Wilson, chairman of the
committee on rules, brought in a report
of which the rule covering employees and
their compensation indicated plainly
enough that the BabcOck administra-
ton of the house has thoroughness at
its base. Provision was made for all
necessary employees and the rules so
drawn that later resolutions for addi-
tiOnaI clerk hire will be sure to meet
with hard shedding.
j. o. Haugland, the recognized leader
of the Republican minority, made
strenuous objections to rule on the
ground that it provided for the en-
ployment of unnecessary help. He was
followed by several other members
from the state central committees side
of the house.
Babcock Men Win Easily.
Chairman Wilson and Representa-
tiVes Burns, Armstrong and Hickey, of
the committee, argued that the new
rule did not provide for an increased
number of employees, but that it did
provide against future squabbles about
the employment of men for odd jobs.
Lawrence H. Johnson, also a member
of the committee, was inclined to stand
by the report and several of his sup
porters, taking notice of the hand writ
ing on the WALL got under cover.
Mr.. Haugland's call for an aye and
nay vote failed, as the necessary show
ing of ten members desiring it could
not be made. The list Of employees as
provided by the new rules includes:
One janitor at 81 per day; four door
keepers at So; one gallery keeper, SO;
four cloak room keepers, So; one file
clerk, IS; assistant file clerk, So;
nine pages, $3.50; five sergeants

II Senate File No. introduced in the
senate by Senator Wilson, of Henne-
pin, yesterday morning, becomes a.
law, the tax amendment defeated at
the recent election will be again sub
mitted to the people,
Senator Wilson's bill is a duplicate
OF the law of 1901. It proposes an
amendment to Sections 1, and 8, of
article of the constitution of Mime
sofa and enlarges the powers of the
legislature so as to allow an income
tax, tax of public service CORPORA
ton franchises and gross earnings and
registry taxes on mortgages.
The session of the senate was a
short one. Four bills were introduced
and the mileage and rules committees
reported. Little business can be tram
sacted until President Jones announces
his committee appointments, and the
senate merely met to make it possible
to adjourn until Monday night. Pres
ldent Jones will announce his commit.
tees at the Monday night session.
Senator Gjertsen, of Hennepin, will
lose no time in taking care of the old
soldiers at the home. and the bills in
troduced included one by the Henne-
pin senator designed to save the old
soldiers pension money from the
board. The bill would make it unlaw-
full for the board to require the old
soldiers gaining admission to the home
to give up a portion of the money re-
ceived from the government.
For ST. Paul Park Board.
A bill designed to benefit the ST. Paul
park board was introduced by Senator
w. w. Dunn, of Ramsey. This bill
would permit the park boards in cities
of $4,000 or over to control all funds
taken in from any source whatsoever
A # Do oIo
ter makes the bill necessary. The new
charter takes from the different boards
the right to retain revenues taken IN,
and provides that they be turned into
the general fund. This ruling cuts off
a large share of the funds of the park
board taken in each year by the sale
of privileges and boat hire at Lake
Como and the various parks. The
passage of Senator Dunn's bill will en-
able the board to accumulate all
moneys from sources under it's jurisdic-
ton.
After adjourning, the senators pro-
ceeded to draw their first money from
the state, which turned up in the shape
of mileage and was made possible by
the report of the mileage committee.
Several of the senators collect a good
ly sum to cover their travelling eX-
penseS. Senator Sundberg, of Kennedy,
ROsseau county drew down the big
purse, taking $108 for his 720 miles.
Senator Stephens, of Crookston, re-
ported 600 miles and drew 500. Among
the other high priced travellers were
Senator Swedback, of Bemidji, who
collected $3.50 for 554 miles. and Sen
atOr Hawkins, of Biwabik, who got
SIS for $40 miles.
Senator Horton, of Ramsey, barred
the St. Paul senators from their share
in the distribution with a motion to
drop them from the mileage list. This
reckless motion on the part Of the
Ramsey man saved the state 80 cents
a head on the senators of st. Paul.

CASTRO ACCEPTS
POWERS TERMS
Considers Them Unjust, but
Is Obliged to Yield
to Force.

CARACAS, Jan S.-After two
stormy meetings of the cabinet, all the
conditions set forth in the replies of
the powers to President Castro's last
proposals in the matter of settling the
dispute through arbitration, have been
accepted by the Venezuelan govern
ment The government considers these
condition to be unjust, but declares it
is obliged to yield to force. The Ven
ezuelan answer was delivered at the
United States legation here today The
conditions of the powers cover cash
payments to the allies and guarantees
for the payment of the balance of their
claims. 1t can be said on good au-
thority that the question of raising the
existing blockade will not be consid-
cred.
United States Minister Bowen has
received orders to leave Venezuela next
Saturday for Washington where he
will present the Venezuelan case to
the British-German commission. An
American warship wiz call for Mr..
Bowen at La Guaira. The foreign Of
flee is working day and night in the
preparation of documents in order
that the Venezuelan case may be
AC0Oy 1OI presentation.
May Settle Outside of Tribunal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-There is a
reasonable prospect that the Venezuelan
trouble can be settled without invok-
ing the machinery of The Hague tribu-
nal. Minister Bowen has been defin-
itely named by Castro as his commits
s1oner and if the few points relative to
conditions precedent are settled ami
cably, it is the expectation that the
British and German governments will
name their ambassadors at Washing
ton as commissioners in their own be-
half to confer with Minister Bowen.
The commission will meet with in
structions from thee principals to en-
deavof to adjust the dispute out Of
hand at Washington. Minister Bowen
seems to be confident Of his ability to
effect this kind of settlement.
If Mr.. Bowen's expectation is not
realized, the commissioners will pro-
coed according to the original plan to
draw up the protocol prescribing the
conditions upon which the issues be-
tween the parties shall be submitted
to the arbitration of The Hague tribu-
nal. 1t is improbable that. the blockade
will be raised until the commission
ers either reach complete settlement
or sign a protocol providing for arbi-
tration. In the latter case, even though
technical and final adjustment can
not be realized until The Hague tribu-
nal has announced it's decision, the
blockade viii not be continued during
the tendency of the proceedings.
The terms of the notes of the foreign
powers handed to President Castro by
Minister Bowen yesterday, and of the
Venezuelan answer to them delivered at
the American legation today, a compro-
mise in the matter Of arbitration has
ben reached.
