LIEUT.. ARNOLD HURT
KNOCKED DOWN AND SKULL
FRACTURED BY ELECTRIC CAR.

Richard A. Arnold, who was lieutenant
Of police in this city for number of years,
was struck by a street car at 9Th and G
streets northwest this morning and very
seriously injured 1t is believed he cannot
recover. Crossing Policeman Dyson was
slightly injured while trying to save him.
Mr. Arnold was crossing from the east to
the west side of 9th street on the curve,
apparently paying no attention to one of
the cars of the Maryland division of the
City and Suburban road which was ap-
preaching from the west 1t is probable
he thought the car was going to move
along on the G street tracks instead of
turning the corner.
The crossing policeman called to him sew
eral times, but he stepped directly in front
of the car and was knocked down. The
motorman had given the car start enough
to take it around the corner When he saw
pedestrian on the tracks. it is stated, he
could not possibly have stopped the car in
time to prevent the accident.
Falling beneath the fender, Mr. Arnold
was pushed along the track few feet and
was apparently lifeless when picked UP.
His skull was fractured and two ribs were
broken. The ambulance from the Emer-
gency Hospital made quick run, and the
injured man was soon in the hospital under
treatment. 1t was stated this afternoon
can hardly recover. His wife was sum-
moned to the hospital, and his daughter,
Mrs. Emmons, who lives at 1923 Putnam
avenue, Brooklyn, was also notified. More
than year ago Mr.. Arnold suffered a
stroke of paralysis. and his weakened con-
dition, 1t is thought, prevented him from
getting out of the way of the car
Prominent in Police Circles.
Lieut. Arnold was prominent in police cir
cles for a number of years while in COM
mand of the first precinct, in the business
section Of the city He was a native of
Prince Georges county, Md, where he was
born July 49, 1889. He was appointed a
member of the police force in September,
1870. In addition to serving lieutenant
of the first and third precincts he was
night inspector for a long time. During the
investigation Of the police department In
1886 his name figured prominently in con-
nection with proceedings which, it was
said involved several members Of Congress
and others prominent in official life AS a
result he was dismissed, as were several
other policemen, although in the opinion of
those familiar with the case, Arnold had
merely obeyed the orders of his superiors
/ Since that time he has held a number of
responsible positions with private firms and
under the District government He was
superintendent of street and alley cleaning
and was afterward license inspector under
the direction of the excise board

RAILROAD RATES
SUPERVISION MUST COME, SAYS
SECRETARY MORTON.

The New York Herald publishes an inter-
view today with Secretary Morton on the
subject Of interstate railroad rates which
he states is considered by the administra-
ton the most important question now be-
fore the American people. He adds:
President Roosevelt has asked me to
take up this problem and to see what can
be accomplished I have promised him
that I would remain in the cabinet and DO
my best. I hope to be Of some service in
this connection, because 1 have been rail-
road man all my life and have studied
carefully this problem Of rates.
LAS railroad man I have for years
preached to the railroad managers the doc
trine of consideration of the rights of the
stop any attempts to manipulate politics
and legislation, and should not oppose rea-
sonable efforts at reforms and rational
government supervision.
No Reason for Alarm.
There is no occasion for any frenzied
finance in Wall street or elsewhere over the
recommendations which the President made
in his message. There Is no reason why the
great fiilanciers OF New York who stand be-
hind the big railway corporations should
become alarmed. They ought to thank
their lucky stars that we have in the White
House President who insists that they
shall have fair play; that there shall be a
square deN all round
ssThe President does not wish to work any
injustice to the railroad industry. He Is
not engaged in q hue and cry against COR
rorations. But he Is right eternally right,
In his declaration that reforms Of method
are needed, and they are needed as much
by the railroads themselves as by the peo-
pie. My experience has shown me that the
most harm done to the railroads In this
country Is done by themselves.

'Government supervision of rate making
In the interest Of fair play to both railroad
and shipper is bound to come, and the far
sighted and progressive railway manager is
he who recognizes the inevitable and joins
hands with those who are working for re-
form and tries to secure an arrangement
that shall be mutually satisfactory.
with such supervision provided in law
there is no reason that know of, from any
point Of view, why the roads should not be
permitted to apportion their earnings among
themselves; in other words, to pool. The
only objection to pooling is that 1t may be
used as an instrument OF eXtortion. With
out government supervision of rates pooling
can never be legalfzed. But with such su-
pervfson every objection to pooling disap-
pears. Shippers say they do not care how
the railroads divide up the money long
as they earn 1t fairly. Legalized pooling
would permit the railroads to stop rate
wars and disastrous competition. 1t would
secure stability of rates, as desirable to the
shipping public as TO the roads.

administration, which Mr.. Morton will

Establishment of a central court of in

case questions of constitutional interpreta-
ton arise.
Government supervision of interstate rail-
road rates through increased powers of the

complaint of existing charges.
Legalized pooling In the form of authorf-
zation by law for equitable apportionment
of railway earnings.
A law compelling all interstate carriers
to afford freight car. private side track and

TWO SMALL KEGS
OF SUDDEN DEATH.
Excelsior Authorities in a Ter
rible Pother Over It's Safe
Disposition.
What to do with dynamite /?

What to do with dynamite?
Village authorities at Excelsior have
a hard nut to crack. If they destroy
the two kegs Of the explosive found
in the woods, the owner might come
aound and collect it's value. They
cant store it in the village because
the ordinances ban high explosives
and they dare not leave it kicking
about the woods for fear careless
marksmen might rush innocently to
sudden death.
q. A grave both wide and deep" has
about been decided upon as the best
solution Of the problem.
The dynamite was discovered yes
terday by two boys who were hunting
less than two miles from the village.
Game was scarce, and when the two
little kegs were discovered, an inn
promptu shooting match was agreed
on. 5sti-
One of the boys sighted his 20 rifle
and was about to pull the trigger when
his companion suggested that a bet
ter mark would be offered if one key
We're placed on the other. Thus an
Excelsior undertaken was saved the
difficult task of assembling juvenile
remains, for the dynamite label was
discovered and the boys fastened
home in wide-eyed thankfulness to tell
of their find.
1t is supposed that the kegs looked
good to tramps who carried them to
the woods only to be sorely disap-
pointed at the contents.

COMES TO STUDY
UP ON HENNEPIN
THAT'S WWHAT DOUGLAS vOIK
DID YEARS AGO.
Now, However, He Is Studying Father
Hennepin for the Historical Paint
ing to Adorn the Governors Room
in the New Minnesota Capitol.

Douglas Volk Of New York, who
founded the Minneapolis art school in
1886 and lived here until 1893, was in
the city to-day, accompanied by Frank
D. Millet the famous artist. Mr.. Volk
has been selected to paint the picture
which Will hang in the governors
room in the new state capitol at St.
Paul. It will be figure study, the
subject being Father Hennepin Dis
covering the Falls Of st. Anthony"
The historical background is to be de-
termined from a study Of the falls as
they are to-day and from photographs
ana de OBSERVATIONS as far beck as they
assisted by Archbishop Ireland, who
has many records Of the early days in
the archives of the church. Father
Hennepin was a Franciscan monk.
Too much credit can never be
given to Cass Gilbert, the architect Of
the capitol, for his service to the peo-
pie Of the state in the cause Of art"
said Mr.. Volk to-day I'm many
ways it will far surpass the congress
sional library at Washington, both in
conception and execution. In fact, it
may be said that the Minnesota cap
itol will be one of the finest, if not
the finest public building in America,
and that 1t will be a source Of pride
and credit to the people of the state.''

has won many prizes and medals. In
1898 he won the worlds fair medal
for the best modern painting exhib-
tied. He was on the national jury
at the fair. Immediately after that
he was called to a professorship at
the Art Students league in New ork,
which he has held ever since. In '97
he was elected secretary of the Socie-
ty of American Artists and was made
a professor at Cooper Institute. In
1898 he won the first prize at the
Colonial exhibit in Boston. About
this time he was elected National
Academicfan. In 1899 he took the
prize Of $1,5o0 offered by the Society
Of American Artists. The prize was
supposed to be given for the best pic
ture painted in America. He won, sew
eral medals at the Charleston exhibit
and at the Buffalo fair. Mr.. Volk s
last honor is to be chosen a member
Of the national jury which will de-
termine the art prizes at the st. Louis
exposition.

SHOE ON OTHER FOOT NOW
FAVORED SOUTHERN
MILLS OBJECT TO RATES Sc
CURED BY MINNEAPOLIS.

Special to The journal.
Chicago, June 8.-The refusal Of
eastern lines to put in lake and rail
rates for grain products from the
west and southwest for export and
domestic use, has aroused consider
able feeling among the millers in
Kansas City, Omaha and other cen
tiers, and also among some Of the
western railroad officials. The latter
declare that the eastern lines are
guilty of discrimination in allowing
Minneapolis mills the benefit Of lake
and rail rates and refusing to do the
same for other milling centers.
The matter was discussed at a
meeting Of executive officials of west
ern lines this morning. It is reported
that threats were made to bring the
affair before the interstate commerce
commission, and one of the western
lines is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of taking Independent action and put
ting in combination rates. If this
line decides to do SO, it is stated that
one of the eastern roads stands ready
to join in the move.

PARALLELS FROM ST. PAUL
ALLEGED DISCRETION OF MIN
NEAPOLIS PARKS BY LOVERS
OF FLOWERS TO GO TO COMO
i. t'WONDERLAND."

Minneapolis people are deserving
their own parks and hocking to the
parks Of st. Paul to see the flowers.
This is the gist Of a surprising state
ment appearing in the annual report
Of the board of park commissioners
park officials of Minneapolis with in
terest. In this report President JOS
eph A. Wheelock devotes a chapter to
the flowers at Como park, in which
he says:
t.That the flowers in Como park are
a potent element in its remarkable
popularity there is no question. Its
visitors count about 100000 during
the park season. Large numbers Of
them come from the neighboring city
Of Minneapolis, whose fowerless
parks, the late president Of the Min
neapolis park board ruefully COM
plains, are poorly patronized by the
on the floral improprieties o f Como
park; but in his last address to the
board, he broadly intimates that in
order to allure the people Of Min
neapolis to a proper appreciation of
their own fine home parks it may be
necessary for them to cater to the
vulgar popular taste for flowers
The irony so plainly shown in Pres
ident Wheelock's report is called
forth by the various reports and state
menLS OIL LIZ. w. w. rO1Well, 1dIe pres
ident of the Minneapolis park board.
He always had a horror of floral de-
signs, such as the Coates Ajar" and
other displays which are among the
chief features of Como park, which
he called 'monstrosities" and fervent-
| ly hoped that the day would never
come when such atrocities would be
tolerated in the Minneapolis parks. In
his last message, however, he yielded
so far as to say that if such designs
would draw people to the parks he
would approve their temporary use.
| Minneapolis parks are not fowerless
by any means. Loring park, Elliot
park and in fact all the parks, which
have been wholly improved have a
profusion of flowers and it is quite
likely that Minneapolis spends much
more for flowers every year than st.
Paul. AS for crowds, Minnehaha park
and Lake Harriet can hardly be
| called deserted places.

VALUABLE FEEDER
FOR MINNEAPOLIS.
500 LINE EXTENSION TAPS NEW
TERRITORY.
Many Acres of Good Wheat Land Lie
Near the Zine in White Earth Res
ervation Development Will Not
Come Rapidly Elevators to Be
Built. @

.. ii. Woodwork and P. T.. Howe,
Minneapolis elevator men, are back
from a trip over the new GlenWood
extension of the 500 road, being. the
first men identified with the grain
trade to go over the line thoroly with
q view to sizing up possibilities. Both
return convinced that the country
valuable Minneapolis feeder.
Last fall the road stopped laying
rails at a point midway between Glen,
wood and Otter Tail, and resumed
operations late last month. BY July
the road will be into Detroit. The
grading, however, has been carried
along almost to the Canadian line.
The trip over this country by team
shows much good land, especially in
the White Earth Indian reservation,
and many thousands Of acres of wheat
land lie close to the new line. Be-
tween Detroit and Erskine the land is
lower and wet, but the soil generally
is good, and the state drainage canals
are being pushed along. Up to Thief
River Falls the acreage available for
settlement is very large, and some of
the land is so good that it was settled
and cultivated long before the new
road was thought Of.
The road will ultimately connect
near Emerson with the Canadian Pa
cific, but it is doubtful if this will
come about this year. Already there
is enough local traffic along the line
to afford some business, and this will
be increased.
The country is not Of the kind to
bring quick development, much Of 1t
being timbered or covered with brush.
The development will be Of the steady
kind, but within five or six years this
will be one Of the richest sections trib-
utary to Minneapolis.
About fifteen grain elevators will
be erected along the line by Mime
apolis line elevator companies at
points to be determined upon later.
