Edward Hess, Arrested
Here.

| The arrest in this city of Edward Hess,
an 1S-year- old boy has brought to light
an attempt to wreck the Chicago Mtnne-

Central road near Chippewa Falls, Wis, a
few weeks ago. The wreck was averred
only by the fact that the train was pulled
by a heavy mogul engine runnig at high

Detective Michael Neary Of the local de-
ties from Chippewa county yesterday
According to the story told by the offic-
ers, Hess was elected from a Wisconsin
Central train near Chippewa Falls because
| he refused to pay his fare. The act OF the
| trainmen angelsd him and he planned re-
venge. He found a short piece of rail-
road rail and placed it on the track, plac-
ing one end under one rail and allowing

rail. ~zf, "a as
J. Having arranged this, he hid in the cover
Of the underbrush near the tracks to await
the approach of the next train which was
the fast passenger from Chicago to the
| twin cities. The train was pulled by a
heavy mogul. engine and was going at
it's highest speed. 1t rounded the curve
a few rods from the obstruction and struck
| the iron at full speed. Hess expected to
see the engine topple and roll into the ditch
but in this he was disappointed, for the en-
CINE cut the rain without more than shak-

and Hess was left to nurse his rage.
Hess afterwards came to Minneapolis,
but the railway officials learned his iden-

EUROPE IS SHORT
Less Than Normal Supply Of Bread
stuffs in Sight, Says James
Marshall. 81.
President Of the Minneapolis Cham
Der Of Commerce Returns From
Visit to Old Home.

James Marshall, president of the Min
neapolis Chamber Of Commerce, has re-
turned from a long vacation trip abroad,
and was back on change this morning,
hard at work. Mr.. Marshall left Mime
apolis three months ago to visit his boy
hood home at Kimoss, Scotland, little
town, about twenty miles north Of Edin-
burgh. It was ffty-one years since Mr..
Marshall had left the town, nor had he
set foot there in all that time, yet before
he had been an hour in the town. there
were many old-time residents around him,
who remembered him as boy, and who
welcomed him back with great hospitality.
Mr. Marshall found an old family sewing
woman, who after half a century still
recognized In the sun burned American
traveller little Jamie Marshall whom she
had once cared for. Mr.. Marshall went
thru Scotland and England and made a
run thru Ireland. From London he
crossed over to Holland and spent some
time In Amsterdam
There is little doubt, Mr.. Marshall says,
that Europe Is short Of wheat this year,
not In an. at all alarming degree, but
sufficiently under normal supply condi-
tons to make 1t an important matter to
American grain exporters. It is evident
that Europe must import more than the
average quantity Of wheat this year.
In Amsterdam Mr. Marshall found the
stocks of flour exceedingly light and
everything to indicate that continental
Europe will be a big buyer OF flour later
on.
just Coincidence.
BY q remarkable coincidence a number
of prominent Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce men turned up on the floor of
the Chicago Board Of Trade on Saturday,
and by their presence unconsciouslyl
started much gossip of a deal Of great i'm
portance about to be contaminated in
secret between the two great trading
bodies. Henry Little being In Chicago on
business, dropped over on change, where
he met Lester G. Mitchell Of the Great
Western Elevator company, also down on
business. Charles E., Lewis, coming up
from Arkansas, looked in on the Chicago
floor, and James Marshall. en- route home
from Europe, dropped in also. George F.
Piper and e. c. Warner, fax and linseed
oil men, were there. H. " Jones and
tRollin e. Smith were on the floor, and
some five or six others identified with the
Minneapolis grain or milling trade, and
when G.. F. Eve and Secretary G.. D.
Rogers of the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce were seen to enter, the news
paper gang could not be held down and
were convinced that some deal of gigantic
proportions was pending Colonel Rogers
was besieged by newspaper men who
wanted the particulars of the deal" but
he could only assure them that he knew Of
| nothing and that the presence of 50 many
Minneapolis grain 3 men was pure
coincidence. ~ A.F

THE DARING IHElAS.
Those Of the "U' Throw the Rush.
ing Compact to the -Four
Winds.
Other Sororities Thrown Into Panic
at First-But Will Stand
Pat.

The Greek Letter sororities at the uni
versity are on the verge OF another Pan
Hellenic war similar to the one of two
years ago. when the rushing compact was
broken by one Of the societies: The
trouble this year is due to the action OF
the Kappa Alpha Thetas. who yesterday
served notice upon all Of the other socie-
ties Of it's intention to break the rushing
compact and rush candidates regardless
Of whether they were registered In the
| university.
This action on the part of the Thetas,
following so closely upon the heels Of their
recent convention. In which rushing in
its present form was SO severely con
demned, acted as a bombshen in the fra
ternity world, and several councils Of war
were held yesterday afternoon to consider
the new proposition
After the difficulty of two years ago,
President Northrop called conference
Of the fraternity girls, and compact was
drawn up and signed by all of the sooie-
ties, in which it was agreed to abstain
from all rushing until after the prospec-
tive candidate had registered in the uni
versfty.
No reason at all was assigned by the
Thetas for their action, which Is now
made all the more prominent by the &C
ton Of the other societies, who have all
agreed to stand by the old compact and
| to disregard the action Of the Kappa Alpha
Thetas. This action was agreed upon by
the other societies at hurried confer
ence called yesterday afternoon.
After agreeing upon a plan Of action
the members Of the other societies inne.
diately called upon all Of their prospec.
tive candidates and Informed them OF the
state Of affairs, asking them at the same
time to refrain from making any dates
for rushing parties until after they ha6
been registered. With but one or tive
exceptions, all Of the "rushees" agreed tc
the proposition, SO that when the Thetas
attempt to make their dates with girls
before they have been registered, they
ARE likely to be pretty generally turned
down. . -..
Much speculation has been INDUCED ir
as to what action President Northrop will
| take upon the new state Of affairs. A
! reprimand is regarded as likely.

New York, Aug. 31.-Frau Cosina Wagner
is not going to let Herr Conried produce her
late husbands opera, "Parsifal," here this
here to prevent the production. She has re-
tanned Halves and Judge, q Broadway firm,
which has been concerned In good deal of

Frau Wagner's authorization in his pocket
to prevent the production at any cost. Mr..
Halves thinks he can do it. Mr.. Halves was
on his wedding trip in Switzerland few
weeks ago. Frau Wagner sent for him to
Wamfried. her home at Bayreuth, and en-
tertained him while he investigated the Wag-
ner side of the controversy over the "Parsi-

which, he says, establish the ownership by

of Richard Wagner in regard to the opera.

Great Northern passenger trains, were
arraigned before Judge Stewart this NOR

which meets Oct. II. No bail has been
secured.
The crime was committed two weeks
ago and since that time the officers have
spared no effort to locate the wrong
doors. 1t is stated that the two boys
have admitted their guilt and that they
planned and nearly carried out a wreck
that would have sacrificed hundreds of
lives, merely for the excitement of seeing
what real railroad smash-up would be
like. Presence of mind on the part of the
engineer of the marked train and the
action of the air brakes alone saved the
boys from being murderers
