MINNEAPOLIS
STATE BAR AGAINST
THE PRIMARY LAW
Lawyers Declare 1t Impossible
to Secure Non-Partisan Ju.
dietary Under It.

The Minnesota State Bar association
mas set the seal of its disapproval on the
primary election law
The matter came before the convention
which met in the council chamber during
the afternoon in a report of the commit
tee on elections. Objection to the law
was found in the inability to secure a
non-partisan judiciary under its opera
ton.
A resolution embodying this idea, and
strongly urging the selection Of judges
by separate judicial conventions, was
adopted.
The discussion of the momentous ques-
ton precipitated lively fight and turn
ed loose a flood of oratOry from friends
OF the primary election law. John Day
Smith and J. r. Robertson protested with
might and main against any change in
the method of selecting candidates for the
judiciary. Albert H. Hail. Minneapolis.
also stood out strongly for the primary
law.
Judge John H. Steele opposed the law
and heartily favored the selection of
Judges by the convention plan. The pri-
mary scheme, he said, compelled candi-
dates for the judiciary to lend themselves
to undignified practices in order to secure
recognition.
Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, E. c. Stringer, st. Paul; vice presi-
dent, A. G. Wilkinson, CrookSton; Sec
rotary, Charles w. Farnham. St Paul;
treasurer, James D. Shearer, Minneapolis.

A mortgage deed for $163 600, 900 was
Yesterday filed in the office of the register
OF deeds of Douglas county, Nebraska.
Ihe mortgage is executed by the Rock Is

New York. and covers all the lines and
branches of that company, including
nearly 1000 miles of track in six different

years from April 1, 1904.
One million 4 per cent bonds of the
Detroit & Toledo Short Line have been
sold to New York and Cleveland capital

Judge Wolcott of the circuit court at
Grand Rapids, Mich, yesterday issued a
mandamuS compelling the Grand Rapids
q Indiana to reduce its fares in Michigan
state from cents to 21a cents per mile.
This is the last step in the long litigation
with the Grand Rapids & Indiana to COM
pei them to comply with the statute which
provides for a fare of 212 cents per mile
whenever the earnings of a railroad reach
$4,000 per mile.
Representatives of thirteen railways
testified before the interstate commerce
commission yesterday in an attempt to
satisfactorily explain an increase of so
to 100 per cent in freight rates for ship
ping chewing gum. Several testified in
general that operating expenses had in
creased" Gum manufacturers complain to
the commission that the advance in
freight rates is unreasonable.
The Chesapeake & Ohio has sold to
Kuhn, Loeb q Co, $4,000,000 of two-year
notes, bearing 5 per cent interest," The
price paid for these notes is not disclosed
The transaction in effect is nothing more
than loan to the railroad company.

FRANCE AND GREAT
BRITAIN SETTLE
Colonial Treaty Dealing With
Morocco, Egypt and New
foundiand to Be Signed.

PARIS, April 5.-Foreign Minister
DeIcasse had a long conference today
with Paul CambOn, French ambaSSa-
dor at London, relative to the Anglo
French colonial treaty, settling several
long pending issues, principally in re-
gard to Morocco, Egypt and New
foundland. NJ. CambOn will return to
London tomorrow and it is the eXpecta-
ton that the treaty will be signed this
week. The main points are settled, but
there are some details capable of caus-
ing delay. France surrenders her SOW
ereignty over the Newfoundland shore
and receives an indemnity. The latter
is tWofold, first, for French individuals
giving up property along the surren-
dered shore, and, second, for the French
governments REIMBURSEMENT of it's
sovereignty. 1t is the intention to
submit the amount of the indemnity to
The Hague tribunal.
Morocco will figure in the treaty and
according to the French view, will be
the most important subject. Spanish
objections at first seemed to threaten
this portion of the treaty, but it is now
perceived that Anglo French interests
in Morocco are entirely distinct from
FrancO-Span interests. SPANS in
terests are political. Those of Great
Britain are commercial. Spain seeks
the partition of Morocco so that she
may control a portion of the country.
France opposes partition, believing that
the future of the country depends upon
its unity. Great Britain has no terri
torial ambitions in Morocco and there
fore the treaty will safeguard her COM
mercial rights and insure against for
tifying the coast opposite Gibraltar.
Thereafter France and Spain will adj
just the political future of Morocco,
but the indications are that the pres
ent treaty will so strengthen the French
position that her North African empire
eventually will stretch westward to the
Atlantic
The Egyptian agreement does not af-
feet Great Britain's protectorate over
Egypt, being confined to the admins
tration Of the Egyptian debt, Great
Britain having a larger latitude In dis
posing Of the surplus without TIE con-
currence Of France. France gets i'm
proved facilities in reaching Lake
Tchad and other points in Central
French Africa. This concession is a
partial return for the surrender Of her
sovereignty over the Newfoundland
shore.

OMAHA, Neb., April 5.-The Chicago

today filed an answer in the United States
circuit court to the application of the
Omaha Grain exchange and others, who
seek to restrain the railroad company
from an alleged discrimination against
the exchange and the city of Omaha in
the matter of rates on grain Shipments
originating at Nebraska interior points.
The road makes a general denial of the
allegations of the petitioners, and alleges
that grain could not be taken care of
in this. city if it were brought here for
inspection and reshipment The ansveIr
states that there is no reason why the
rate from Omaha to Chicago should be
less than from any other Nebraska com
mon point.
