AGAINST MINNEAPOLIS MILL
ING INTERESTS. ."-

Demand Of Illinois roads for an arbi-
trary advanced rate on flour from Min
in increase Rc Of tbs rffeisht rates, e
may result in loss to the Minneapolis
roiads. Notice haas been served on
local roads to show cause at meeting
in Chicago Sept. why the proportion
Of the thru rate between Minneapolis
and Illinois points accruing to the LII
nois roads should not be increased: In
case Of lack Of agreement the Illinois
roads may refuse to receive such ship
ments Of flour unless the advanced pro-
portional rate is prepaid. 4
Whether the Minneapolis roads will
accept the loss, or advance the rate
is to be considered. In the latter event
the lines will lose freight thru reduced
shipments. The advantage will be
with the milling interests Of St, Lotus,
Kansas City and Omaha, which, backed
by such roads as the Wabash, own their
own right-of-way from. these, produc-
ing points to the Illinois markets, are
behind the movement to put Mime

THoRoFARE TOO WIDE

h Residents Of Thirty-frst street will
meet Thursday evening at the home Of
Frank B. Messer, 3044 Dupont avenue

roadway on that portion of the street
way is sixty-three feet wide along this
stretch, and this width is easily per-
Missile, as the entire width Of the
street is 100 feet. For the remainder
Of its length, Thirty-frst street has a
roadway Of only SO feet, and this is
deemed to be ample. In fact, many au-
thorities believe that 40 feet is wide
enough for driveway on any residence

The proposed change can be made at
this time with very little expense, as
there is only one piece Of curbing along
the entire length. SIS &

Chief Justice Start this afternoon
granted a stay of execution in the case
Of G. D. Crawford, the condemned muir
derer, sentenced to be hanged at Elk
River Sept. 5.
The stay is granted until the appeal
is heard and determined, or until other
wise ordered by the court. II
. Whether the gallows shall claim the
life of G. D. Crawford Sept. 6, at Elk
River, depends on a ruling by Chief
Justice G. M. Start Of the state supreme
court as to whether an appeal in the
case shall be allowed. Arguments were
submitted before Justice Start in cham
bers at the capitol yesterday afternoon.
An interesting point developed dur
ing the hearing was. the fact. that the
man who practically instigated the muir
der has received a thirty years peni-
Tertiary sentence, while the man who
only obeeyed his bidding is sentenced to
hang. In this the case may be inter,
case. There the man who instigated the
murder, Hayward, was hung, while the
man who actually committed it is to-
day in the penitentiary:
Chief Justice Start forcibly in the read
ing Of some of the evidence by the at
torneys yesterday afternoon. The tes-
timony showed that Heine Lundeen, the
murdered man, was shot while with a
gang of men in a moving boxcar near
Elk River. Testimony showed that
Crawford's pal, Palmer, played fish

in evident surprise, Chow does it hap

No one was able to give the question
a satisfactory answer, and the hearing
proceeded on other points. The rulnig
as to whether the appeal shall be al

Justice Start took the case under ad'

dence showed the claims of the defense
to be too frivolous for an appeal. he
was inclined to think a stay Of gxeeu-

view Of the fact that the supreme court

R1NKER AROUSED
City Engineer Acts In Regard to Com
plants Against Contractor.


City Engineer Andrew Rinker has di-
rected John Wunder to refrain from
blocking traffic across the Tenth avenue
bridge, on pain of having the matter
placed in the hands of the city's legal de-
partment if he refuses. Mr.. Wunder has
charge of the work at the street railway
company's powerhouse at the east end
of the bridge, and makes use . Of the
bridge in carting away dirt and for haul
ing material The roadway is only
eighteen feet wide, and when Mr.. Wun-

some time, say those who have occasion
to use the bridge. Mr., Rinker Is flooded

ephone and in person. An East Side res
ident who called on the engineer today
announced that if the city officials would
not keep the streets open for travel he
would take the matter into court.

Since the arrest Of the saloonkeepers

FRANCIS TALKS
OF LATEST FAIR
HEAD OF ST. LOUIS EXPO HAS
BEEN TO PORTLAND.
He Was Greatly Pleased with
Lewis and Clark Exposition Consid-
ers Increased Prestige of White in
Russia an Important Outcome Of the
Peace Conf ference at Portsmouth.

4 . .
u David r. Francis Of St. Louis was a
visitor in Minneapolis today, having
run in from the Portland exposition. j.
@. Thompson, Jr., Of St. Louis accom-
panied him. The former governor Of
Missouri and worlds fair president re-
manned only a short time, going over
to St. Paul about l O'Clock to meet
east thru the Canadian Northwest and
was impressed by the good crop out
look and general prosperity all along,
both in Canada and on the American
side. The Portland exposition, Mr..
Francis says, altho naturally small
affair compared with the st. Louis fair,
is a good show, well conducted and
well worth visit. The entire west
is very prosperous and money is easy.
Whites Star Ascendant.
Mr.. Francis is inclined to look for
ference. It means, he believes, the re.
turn of Witte to a position Of first in
fuence in Russia, which cannot fail to
advance that country and work for the
general benefit of the world. r..
OF the men concerned in the con-
ference said Mr.. Francis, 81 know
T II a]na very well having met him
He is man of frst-class ability to
whom there might be intrusted any af-
fair Of magnitude. I know Mr.. WHITE
and Baron Rosen more by reputation
than by personal contact, but Witte
looks to me like the ablest man that
has appeared in world IS affairs fo1
some time. which is a consideration, Of
course, entirely aside from the late Mr.
Hay or our president, Mr.. Roosevelt
The outcome at Portsmouth certainly
reflects the greatest credit upon the
president, who had some delicate situa
tions to handle in getting the men
together and seeing it thru and who has
acquitted himself ably.'
Like Dave Hill.
Mr.. Francis would not touch upor
national politics except to say, W it'll 9
faint smile, that he is a democrat. Il
is too early yet, he says, for any sort
of lineup.
st. Louis, Mr.. Francis says, has ad
vanced wonderfully in the past; year
which is entirely contrary to the ex
pectations of many who looked for some
business reaction to follow the close
of the fair. IL. IT,
