REGULATING THE RAIL WAYS.
Senator Eberhart Prepares Bill for In
... r PRODUCTION Today 4a,

From Fridays Daily,
Senator A. O.. Eberhart of Mankato,
chairman of the joint committee which
has investigated transportation rates in
Minnesota, has drafted three bills, which
he expected to have introduced in the
house and the senate today.
Senator Eberhart has also prepared
two resolutions, one urging congress to
increase the powers of the interstate
commerce commission and to abolish
private car companies, and the other in
strusting the railroad and warehouse
commission to reduce freight rates in
Minnesota to the level of rates in Iowa
and Illinois.
The bills and the resolutions were to
be considered by the whole. committee
at a meeting this afternoon before they
were presented to the legislature.
The bill prohibits the railroads from
changing rates or classifications in rates
without the consent of the railroad and
warehouse commission and the commits
sion is empowered to inspect the books
and records of railroads to ascertain
whether its orders are obeyed. Senator
L. o. Thorpe of Willmar has introduce
ed bill prohibiting railroads from rails
ing rates without the consent of the
commission, but this bill does not cover
classifcations in rates.
A second bill provides that the orders
of the railroad and warehouse commits
sion shall go into effect Immediately
and remain in effect until the courts set
them aside. Under the present law, any
rate fixed by the commission is only
a prima facie rate-that is in the event
of appeal there is no way of enforcing
the rate until the matter is decided in
the courts.
A third bill imposes heavy fines on
firms or individuals receiving special
rates or rebates in any form.
"Thc report and bills have been pre-
pared by Senator Eberhart so that
we may have something to work on" said
a committeeman yesterday. 1--WE shall
go over the report and the bills at a
meeting of the committee and amend
them as the committee may deem best. "

WILLIAMS TROUBLES.
Blue Earth County Farmer Makes a
Strange Request of Gov. Johnson.

From Mondays Daily.
Louis Williams, farmer, of Blue
Earth county, is in st. Paul to see the
governor ON strange case. 1t seems
that some time ago he sued for and was
given a divorce. His lawyers demanded
for their services a certain amount
which he refused to pay them. They
then attempted to remove ten loads OF
hay from his farm, and were prevented
by Williams at the point of a revolver.
Upon his refusal to pay or allow them
to remove his hay the lawyers refused
to return to him several valuable papers.
He now asks the governor to look into
the matter and secure him the return
of the papers. The governor has prom
ised to do so.
the above from Saturdays st. Paul
Dispatch contains number of inacclT-
aeies, according to local attorneys who
were interested in the case In the first
place, Williams was sued for divorce by
his wife, and in the second place she
failed to get a divorce and the couple
are still living together. Thirdly, the
lawyers claims for services were
against Mrs. Williams and not against
her husband. She had land in her own
name, and Williams was living upon it
and refused to let the crops be taken for
the wife's benefit, and it was necessary
to put up a bold front to get a few
loads of hay to pay the wife's ex-
penses. Fourthly, the lawyers did not
retain any papers belonging to Williams.
They were lost, but the lawyers did not
take them. The papers are of no value,
as the case is closed, Williams wife
having failed to secure her divorce from
him, and what he wants of the paper is
a mystery. -

AFRAID OF HIS ENEMIES.
Younger Appointed Peace Officer So
He Can Defend Himself.

Kansas City, March 27.--Cole Young
er, the one time terror of peaceable peo-
pie, and the side partner of the james
boys in the bushwacker days of the war,
is growing timid in. his old days, and
now claims that enemies are trying to
kill him. He has been appointed a
peace officer at mis- own request.
Just what this move means may be
construed in several ways, but the usual
conclusion is that the old bandit is
growing afraid. He is said to wish the
dignity of peace officer in order to awe
his enemies. With an official position
he thinks he would be safer.
A short tine ago Younger wrote to
Chief Justice Start of Minnesota ask
ing that he be allowed to come back to
Minnesota. 1t was said that he wanted
20 escape from enemies in Missouri. who
still horbored ill feelings from the old
days. When Younger was paroled from
Saltwater it was on condition that he
did not show himself on the stage
Then the parole was modified so that he
would be allowed to 90 free if he would
only keep out of Minnesota Now, with
this maven of escape closed against him,
Younger is said to be turning a long
ing eye towards Minnesota, where he
thinks he would be free from old
grudges.

ALBERT Leland THE METERS
That City Secures Much Better Bar
gain Than Mankato.


From Thursdays Daily
The Mankato Review says that the
Crown water meters, 400 of which were
lately ordered by the Albert Lea city
council at an alleged expense of $l3
each, were contracted for in Mankato
at $l2 each, only 40 cents additional
being charged for connections and the
city pays the expense of installing them.
The fact is, Albert Lea gets discount
of 10 per cent on the $l3, making the
actual cost to the city $ll7O each. or
30 cents cheaper than the price paid by
Mankato. But the meters cost more 10
the Albert Lea patrons because the
council mas fixed the gross price at
$l3 and besides patrons must pay more
for installing them.-Albert Lea Stand
ard.
1t would seem from the above state
ment that Albert Lea has gotten the
best of Mankato in the matter of the
purchase of water meters. Had the
board of public works here called for
bids the probabilities are that the met
ers could have been secured much cheap
er than they were, and a better bar
gain obtained tnan the Albert Lea
authorities have to their credit.

TOBIE AT ALBERT LEA.
Survey Of the Duluth, ST. Cloud &
Glencoe Road.

Glencoe Road
From Mondays Daily.
The Albert Lea Tribune of Saturday
stated that Messrs. f. T.. Tobie of New
York and G. M. Moran of Detroit,
Mich, of the firm of Tobie & Co. New
York, the firm that has the contract for
constructing the line of the Duluth, st.
Cloud, Glencoe & Manlato railroad from
this city to NIankato, arrived here late
yesterday and at once proceeded to look
about the city. Another member of the
company arrived today and at once they
Will look over the line of the proposed
road Tobie & Co. are extensive con
tractors and when they bound them
selves to finish the road bed between
this city and Mankato on or before Jan
uary !, 1908, they showed that they UNI
derstood their business and knew how
to proceed. This would rather indicate
that the brethren of the press who have
been soothing about this road being built
were talking about something of which
they knew very little and they may yet
be glad to ride over its lines on editori-
al passes earned by advertising.
The Tribune's information regarding
the exact course of the road out of this
city is quite limited and it may be
the exact line has not been located but
engineers are to 90 at work at once, if
they are not already in the field, max
ing the final surveys. There has been
some talk that the new line would
strike the Minneapolis & st. Louis at
Manchester and come into the city over
those tracks, thus saving building five
or six miles of road as well as the pur-
chase of expensive right of way. This
would be better for the city as the
cut up with railroad tracks and more
land would be left for farming purposes.
Talk of new railroad in southern
Minnesota has been caused by crew
of surveyors at work in the south end
of Steele county surveying all along
that part of Freedom which Includes
the Geneva lake and the Moscow swamp.
The surveyors claim that they are
working out of Mason City, Iowa, and
that they intended to survey straight
north fbrouub 0wa fopoo
They crossed the southern branch of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad at Hayward, missing Albert
Lea by about twelve miles. From Hay
ward they surveyed straight north to
the Moscow swamp, which is in Free
born county, and expect to strike from
there to the east shore of Geneva lake,
which will bring them to the Steele
county line.
On entering this county they will
head straight for Steele Center, missing
Blooming Prairie by a number of miles
and bringing them in direct line for
Owatonna. ijp @eia sj4. 3a
While it is known that there mas
been talk of building a new railroad in
to Albert Lea in the near future and
also that there are a number of COM
panies figuring on running electric lines
through Freedom and Steele counties,
yet the. general opinion among the
people of the southern part of the coun-
ty seems to be that the surveyors are
working on new railroad line to con-
meet with OwatOnna. the question is,
as it a new proposed railroad?"

REPORT OF THEIR DO!NGS.
Fair Managers File a Report With
Governor John A. Johnson.


Governor John A. Johnson.
| From Fridays Daily
The Minnesota board of managers OF
the Louisiana Purchase exposition yes
terday submitted their report to Gov
ernor Johnson. The report is complete
in every detail and contains numerous
reproductions from photographs ant
data of all prize winners from Minneso
ia.
The board, which consisted of Condo
Hamlin, j. M. Underwood and I. l.
Hays, was given 100000 by the legis
lature in 1903, and the task at the ex
position placed in its charge.
The Minnesota building was erected
at an original cost of $l6,53S.75, and
was formally dedicated on June Z
Space was secured for horticultural
agricultural and other state exhibits
and all were highly praised. The edu.
cational exhibit was especially success.
full, taking the grand prize.
Minnesota captured the sweepstake
on dairy, unsalted and print butter ant
for the fourth time won the nationa
banner of the National Buttermakers
association. The worlds championship
cup, awarded by the same association
for the highest average score for six
months, was won by H. c. Hanson O
Smith Mills, MINI. The grand prize fo]
flour went to Minnesota, and the states
fruit exhibit also captured the CRANE
prize. The Minnesota iron ore eXhibi,
captured the grand prize. Minnesota
wheat took two grand prizes and over .
score of medals The Minnesota mount
ed game and fish exhibit captured sill
Yer medal. Thirty four prizes were wor
by Minnesota poultry. Minnesota stock
also stood high on the list of prize win
ners.
A total of SlOl, 1925 was expended
for Minnesota's showing. This included
the appropriation of 100000 and ST.
1928 received from sundry sources. O.
this amount $ll ,255.9S was expended on
the agricultural exhibit; horticulture.
$685.; dairying, $4,37S.77; education.
$S,979.36; game and fish, $9,O5l.96,
mines and metallurgy $5,599.3S; build
ing material, $2,OO5.76; state building

hibit not including the above figures.
amounted to $2l, l05.5S. The poultry
and live stock exhibit required $4,l99.95.
and the sociology exhibit, 500.
The report deplores the fact that the
lack of funds made it impossible for the
board to give Minnesota as large a
showing as most of the other western
states, but declares that the Minnesota
exhibits compared favorably with those
of other states Which expended three
times the amount of this state.
