New Freight Tariffs increase
Transcontinental Rates.

New freight tariffs and changes in
classification affecting transcontinental
business have been made recently.
A new transcontinental west bound tar
if has been issued covering rates on prac-
tically all commodities from Eastern Can
ada to north Pacific coast terminals. This
tariff is generally credited as being the
Canadian end of the agreement between
the transcontinental lines. The higher
rates on this side of the line became eff
fective Jan. 49, The rates in Canada will
become effective Feb "a
large number of changes in CLASH
hcatton have been made, the general eff
feet of which, it is said, is to increase
rates. For instance, that on monographs,
which was first class for less than car
loads and third class for carloads, has
been changed to one and one=haf times
hfst-class rates. A carload rate of fourth
class has been established for refrigera-
tors. A ruling is announced that freight
must be guaranteed or prepaid on all
shipments of lubricating oils.
New inbound through Asiattc tariffs are
out. They became effective Jan. Il. Iden-
teal rates are named for practically all
OF the Eastern cities, irrespective of the
haul Thus it costs the same to ship from
Kobe to Chicago as from Kobe to New
York or Montreal.
Rates on tea follow: From Calcutta
and Ceylon, India, $1.55 per hundred
weight in carloads and $3.50 less than
carloads; from ports in Japan or China,
the rates are $1.25 carloads and respect
lively, $2.15 and SO less than carloads.

LOUX CASE COMES
UP FOR THIRD TRIAL
Burr Street Fuel Dealer.
Charged With Selling Short
Weight, Makes His Defense.

For a third time ROBERT Loux, the
Burr street fuel dealer, was on trial
before jury in municipal court yester-
day on a charge of selling short-weight
coal. Two juries have already dis
agreed on one charge against Loux,
while on another, on which he was
tried before Judge Hine without jury,
he was convicted and fined $50.
Loux was arrested two months ago
on two complaints alleging that he
sold on Nov. IA, 1903, to William
Schrader. another fuel dealer, two con-
signments of coal weighing LOO and
1900 pounds, but purporting to con-
sist of one ton each. He was convicted
on the first charge and demanded a
jury trial on the second. The first jury
disagreed. The second jury was called
off after declaration by the foreman
that relative of Loux had approached
juror with the purpose of influencing
the verdict. This charge is now being
Investigated by the county attorney.
The evidence in each trial was prac
tically the same, Loux attempting to
prove that the scales had become
clogged by particles of coal which had
accidentally fallen into the scale and
1mpeded the action Of a rod which
registered the weight.
The scales were inspected by Frank
A. Wondra, foreman of the Fairbanks
Morse company, and he was an expert
witness. He testified that upon open
ing the scales he found quantity of
loose coal packed into a shaft through
which passes a rod that communicates
the weight from the scales to a regis
tering bar in the office. Wondra stated
that about a bushel of coal was
wedged about the rod, and that it
would have the effect of retarding it's
action
Loux testified that he had made an
inspection of the scales every day, but
that he had not had them tested by the
official seaIer for two years. He had no
knowledge, he said, that the scales
were defective, and did not know that
the complainant had not received full
weight.
County Attorney Kane and Morton
Barrows, attorney for the defendant,
yesterday consumed most of the time
in contesting admission of testimony.

P Pennsylvania Borrows $780,
100000 From Syndicate.

NEW YORK. Feb "a syndicate of
New York bankers has agreed to lend $780,
100000 to improve the Pennsylvania lines
west Of Pittsburg and, also. it can be
said, on the authority of a member of the
lending syndicate, to provide funds for the
purchase of the Western MARYLAND by
the Norfolk & Western as part Of a plan
for the settlement of the Gould and Penn
sylvania difficulties
The Western Maryland is controlled by
Gould interests and its president, Joseph
Ramsey Jr., is president Of the Wabash.
According to latest report the Western
Maryland, which runs from Baltimore to
Leesport, Md, and leases a number of
small lines. has outstanding about $15,-
100000 of common stock and $32, 000 600 of
preferred stock. While a syndicate mem
Der admitted that the loan would provide
funds for the purchase of the Western
Maryland, 1t could not be learned that
negotiations for such purchase had been
closed.
Pending the conclusion of negotiations
a denial such as has been received from
Philadelphia was not unexpected.
One of the rumors in circulation today
was that the Pennsylvania, after taking
over the Western Maryland, would give
the Gould lines a favorable arrangement
for seaboard traffic.
The Pennsylvania will receive the money
on April 1, and will issue notes bearing
Az per cent interest therefor, the notes
to be taken up in eighteen months.
1t is not the intention of the syndicate
which has taken the notes to offer them
at public sale. The price to be paid for
the notes was not made public.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb Sit was
said tonight that part of the Pennsylvania
$50 000, 900 is offered in Philadelphia by
Kuhn Loeb e Co. Of New York in blocks
Of 81, SOC, 600 and that similar offers are TO
be made in Boston and other financial
centers. AS the amounts are larger than
any single financial institution is likely to
be willing to assume, the formation of
subsyndicates in the smaller financial
centerS may follow.

HOLDS INSURANCE
POLICY INVALID
Company Needn't Pay on
Death of Bartender Who
Insured FrauduIentIy.

Judge Brill, Of the Ramsey county
district court, is overruled by the SUI
preme court in the case of Mrs. Hulda
Mattson against the Modern Samari-
tans, in which Judge Brill directed the
jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff.
The suit is upon a policy of insur-
ance in the Good Samaritans held by
the deceased husband of the plaintiff.
The society refused to pay the amount
Of the policy on the ground that the in
sured was a bartender, and was so
employed at the time of his applica-
ton for membership, bartenders and
saloon men being barred by the con-
stitution of the order
On the part of the plaintiff 1t was
shown that the agent of the society
knew that Mattson was a bartender
because Mattson had truthfuIly told
him that was his business, although
he sometimes worked at the trade of
painter. The agent, it was shown, fill
ed out the application blank represent
ing Mattson as a painter.
The supreme court says that the
case hinges upon the question of
whether Mattson knew of this decep-
ton, and that was properly for the
jury to decide. Therefore it is held
that the court was in error in direct
ing verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of $1,000.
Other cases decided yesterday are
as follows:
Hannah Alderman, respondent. vs. Fred
Meier, appellant.
Order affirmed. Brown. J.

in which decisions have not been hand

last of them will not be filed before
the middle of March.

HIGH COURT HOLDS
CLOSING LAW GOOD
Declares That Grocers and
Others Shall Not Conduct
Business on Sabbath.

In a test case in the supreme court,
the law of last winter prohibiting gro
Gerry stores, butcher shops and certain
open on Sundays, has been declared
constitutional.
This law is tested in the case of P. G.
Hoffman against Sheriff Justus. Hoff-
man was arrested on complaint
charging him with having sold gro
ceries on July IL last. He came be-
fore Judge Jaggard, of the Ramsey
county district court, on habeas cor
pus proceedings, and the law was de-
clared by Judge Jaggard to be consti-
tutional.
Justice Lovely writes the opinion. the
syllabus of which is as follows:
Chapter 1852, Laws 1903, which prohibits
the keeping open of butcher shops for the
sale OF meats and other business places
on any portion of Sunday while 1t au-
thorizes confectionery and tobacco to be
sold in an orderly manner on that day,
elimination between these several occu-
pations as to invalidate the law for viola
ton Of sections SO and "a, article 4. of the
constitution of this state prohibiting spe-
cial or class legislation.
The writ is discharged.
New Trial Is Denied.
Bert Ronk, convicted of the murder
of Charles Eberlein and sentenced to
Imprisonment for twenty years, is de-
MED a new trial in a decision of the
supreme court handed down yesterday.
Eberlein was killed at Brush Creek
March II last, and Ronk practically ad-
mitted having fired the shot which
killed him. Ronk's story was to the
effect that while out hunting he heard
some one at short distance fire, and
he was struck in the back by a charge
rection from which the firing had come
and discharged his Winchester rifle
several times.
1t was shown in the trial that Ronk
and Eberlein had been on unfriendIy
terms.
