CHAPTER V-CoNTINUED.
II Ronald Fanshaw could have WIT
messed what passed at Carnleigh that
evening. II might have softened his
sharp self-censure for what he had
done, in the heat Of passion. He had
always looked upon duelling as radi-
cally wrong. and he now told himself
he had gone too far in further humili-
ating q man after he had tacltly
thrown himself on his mercy. Before
he had quilted the colonel's wood that
morning he was brought face to face
with a product of his example that
added fresh sting to his general dis
content.
He had almost reached the boundary
fence when he came upon his shaggy
haired. barefooted brother, standing
up to his ankles In the wet loan of a
swampy spot. Dave was leaning on a
rife as tall and sturdy-looking as him
self, an old-fashioned treasure which
he brought out only on special occa-
sions, such as prize shooting matches
at which he was champion shot
snd when there was q threatened
BLACK uprising"
"Why, Dave, what are you doing
here?" Ronald asked, In sstonish-
ment.
Huh! I amt a-doin' nothin'. but
what ] would a-done, ef I'd a-been
needed, would a-been a plenty"
His brother stared at him.
"You mean you thought Of taking a
hand, Dave?"
II was a-goin' to give you yore
chance fust," said the fellow; "but,
you bet, I was a-goin' to see which one
was able to keep on his feet after the
scrap, an ef 1t had a-been him, he'd
s-been my meat. 1 blowed this tube
out with a prayer" (Dave patted his
gun caressingly and smiled). 81 kissed
my patchin', blessed my powder, an
rammed my lead home with the arm
of justice to all men,"
"Dave. that would have been mur-
der"
Murder dogs hind foot! Eff that
little cymlin-headed puppy had killed
you, Ron, I'd settled his hash ef I'd
a-had to do 1t with my bare fists"
Dave broke into an impulsive laugh.

shivers awhile ago. I wasn't nigh
enough to hear what was passin' twixt
You an him, but when seed you draw
yore knife an ketch I'm by the collar,
I thought you was goin' to dig out his
heart, an that he was a-goin' to stand
still while you was at 1t. What in the
name o. common sense was you do
IMP"
Ronald gave him the benefit Of an
explanation, and Dave laughed incrcd-
ulously.
"An' you didn't even slap his jaws"
"No. I was satisfied"
"Well." was the philosophical re
mark, as the speaker drew one of his
feet out of the mire and prepared to
walk on, "ef satisfaction was good t
eat, an growed on vines. / wouldn't
send you out to pick none fur my din

CITY TO PAY HALF
ON NEW AUDITORIUM

st. Paul's desire for an auditorium
bids fair to be realized within year.
The city council has Professionally
agreed to issue bonds to the extent of
$150,000 for the purpose, on condition
that an equal sum is secured from other
sources. Under the act enabling the
city to issue bonds for various improve
ments and sEother buildings for munich
pal purposes, the council has margin
of 100000. To what an extent an
auditorium can be used for municipal
purposes is not wholly clear, but in the
event that the bond buyers might raise
the point it is suggested that police
station be located in one corner of the
building.
| William Hamm, who presented the
proposition to the council on behalf Of
the auditorium committee, was confident
that $780, 900 would be raised by popu
lar subscription. With 100000 avail
able, an auditorium equal to any oc
/ casion likely to arise for many years
would be provided.

TO CUT INTO STANDARD
INDEPENDENT ORE DEALER DE-
CLARES THEY WANT RATES
EQUALIZED so AS TO TAKE
BUSINESS FROM TRUST.

To cut into the monopoly of the oil
trade in Minnesota enjoyed by the
Standard Oil company, is the admitted
reason why the indepedent oil com,
panies are asking the state railroad
commission to reduce the railroad rate
they are asked to pay.
At the hearing before the commls-
sion today D.. c. Crumbaugh Of the
Craig Oil company testified that oil
should have the same railroad facilities
as other commodities. Placing third
class rate on oil in barrels and fifth
class rate on bill in tank cars, he urged,
was too great discrimination in favor
of the oil trust, which uses tank cars
entirely. If the independent oil deal
ers secured reduction in freight rates
they would reduce the price of oil.
Then j. w. Root, of the Milwaukee
road, got the witness to admit that the
amount Of oil that can be sold is linn
tied; that the market is fully supplied
now, and that if the Independent com
panies get more business by reduction
Of rates, such business must be secured
thru inroads on the trusts business.
George German, formerly in the en-
ploy of the Omaha freight department
In St Paul, testified that the railroad
was in the habit Of loading varrel oil
in cars with general merchandise; that
| if perishable merchandise was to be
placed in the car, it was separated from
| the oil barrels by packing non-perish
able freight between. He testified that
the railroads thought barrel oil ship
ments profitable business, and solicited
them to go with other freight, and with
out fear Of the oil g doing damage.

in the Esch-Townsend bilD fixing differen-
tials, and equalizing natural advantages
and disadvantages.
If the power to make rates is con-
ferred upon the interstate commerce COM
mission, that body will be Immediately
confronted with the responsibility of max
ing rates to and from every port in the
United States. If it makes rate to or
from Philadelphia, it must not give any
preference to that port over Baltimore,
or any of the numerous ports on the At
lantic seaboard in other states than Penn
sylvania.
The interState commerce commission in
sisting that the preference clause OF the
constitution is not applicable, boldly takes
the logical step Of asking that they be
permitted, in making rates. to establish
diferentials. and that they be trusted by
this great commercial nation with the
power to preserve harmony between all
the ports and commercial centers of the
United States. If the interstate commerce
commission were gifted with superhuman
knowledge and a superhuman sense OF
justice and fair dealing, they could not
do what they are asking congress to per-
| NIT them to do.

BILL ATTACKED
George R. Peck, Attorney for
Milwaukee Road, Assails Bill
Before Senate Committee.

Washington, May 3.-Appearing
before the senate interstate commerce
committee today George r. Peck, gem
eral counsel of the Milwaukee railway,
insisted that railroad rebate evil had
ceased Or could be corrected under the
present laws, and contended that the
legislation proposed in the Esch-Town-
send bill, if rebates still existed at all,
would not be effective. He said:
Can the Interstate commerce commits
sion-whch, under the Esch-Townsend
bill, will stand in the place of congress-
under this limitation, make any prefer
ences in its regulations. of the ports of
one state over those of another?
If the constitutional provision applies
and is binding on the interstate commerce
commission. they cannot make prefer
ences. But if, on the other hand-as they
themselves insist-they will not be gov
erned by this constitutional provision in
the making Of rates, then 1 submit the
power never should be given to them.

NEW MAN. SITE
STILL UNSETTLED
REGENTS DO NOT FAVOR THE OLD
LOCATION.
Dean Downey's Choice Not Acceptable,
as It Was Feared New Building on
Site Of Old Would Crowd That Quar-
ter of the Campus-Mu Argument
Possible Over Final Choice.

The plan of erecting the new Main
building on the site Of the old, favored
by many of the professors and students
at the university and backed by some
of the regents, will be abandoned. This
was the result of an informal gather
ing of the regents today.
At the last meeting Dean Downey
was authorized to prepare plans for a
building on the site of the cold main -
Today the plans were shown and the
site was staked off, On seeing that
only thirty eight feet would be left be-
tween the new building and the law
building on one side and the library on
the other and after reading the opinion
Of the architect that there was not suf-
| icient space on the old site for the new
building without dwarfing the buildings
on each SIDE and crowding, the regents
and Dean Downey agreed that the site
was impossible.
The building will be probably erected
along University avenue, near the
physics building. This plan has been
strenuously opposed by many, who
argue that this part of the campus
should be left open as part of the drill
ground and that the building should be
erected across the present parkway al
Fifteenth avenue Sc and extending
toward Fourteenth avenue.
The regents seem to favor the former
plan, however, as expense would be en-
tailed by the latter in building arch
ways across the parkway.

Get Fry for Harriet.

Another attempt will be made to
stock Lake Harriet with game fish,
such as pike, Graphic and bass. The
first step will be to get rid of the suck
ers now in absolute control, that would
destroy the spawn or fry of any other
fish introduced. Park Commissioner
John H. Van Nest has made a deal
with two Bohemians, who have fine
seins, to exterminate the sucker. They
are to drag the lake from one end to
the other under the supervision of a
game warden and are to have all the
suckers they get as compensation. The
warden will see that the bass and crap
pies are thrown back, but there will
not be many, as they have about dis.

There has been great difficulty in
securing fry for Lake Harriet from
the game and fish commission. Nc
trouble has been experienced when fry
or spawn is. wanted in Lake Calhoun

be any hitch. IF the difficulty proves
