WHITEWASH is TOO
THICK FOR MINORITY
ReDort of Investigation of State
Auditors Office to Be
Rewritten

Unless the subcommittee will con-
sent to a great many. changes in its
report, fully one-third of the members
of the house committee on public ac-
counts will refuse to sign the report
on the investigation of the timber and
mineral lease records of the state au-
ditors office.
The subcommittee of the public ac-
counts committee, NJ. j. Bowling, Bur-
dette Thayer, George H. Wyman, r. H.
Jefferson and r. L. Mork, submitted a
report to the full committee yester-
day. 1t is said to have been written by
Chairman Bowling.
The report was lengthy document.
1t exonerates both r. c.. Dunn and s.
G. Iverson, the former and the present
state auditor, from any blame for the
conditions to which S. T. Johnson. the
public examiner, called attention in
reports made to the governor. The re-
port says that the state lost nothing
by the transactions which the public
examiner cited, and that while in some
cases Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Iverson were
negligent in not seeking to collect
treble damages for trespass on state
lands, the probabilities were that they
would not have been successful in OBJ
tanning damages by suits in the courts.
The public examiner, it is said, is
mildly censured by the report for crit
icising the former state auditor and
the present auditor in his various re-
ports of their offices.
On the motion to accept the report,
about one-third of the members of the
full committee voted in the negative.
Members of the majority later said
that certain portions of the report
would be rewritten and brought to a
point of harmlessness where all the
members would be willing to sign it.
The committee is to meet again Mon
day afternoon, when the revised report
VIII be submitted to the full committee.
Members of the minority declare
that the pruning knife will have to be
vigorously applied to Mr., Dowling's
report before they will consent to sign
IT They admit, however, that the re-
port is far less drastic in its treatment
or the former public examiner than
they had reason to expect ...

MOOSE is FAVORED
House Members Generally Fa.
vOr Capital Punishment

While the house took no action yes
terday on the Lund bill TO abolish cap
ital punishment, a debate that lasted
for an hour indicated that sentiment
is against the general proposition.
Either the Lund bill will be amended
to conform to the general plan of the
Alley senate bill or there will be no
legislation towards the substitution of
life Imprisonment for capital punish
ment in certain cases.
George Mackenzie of Sibley read a
carefully prepared speech, covering the
argument in favor of the abolition of
the death penalty, from humanitarian
grounds. Mr.. Mackenzie covered near
ly every point usually raised by the
advocates of life Imprisonment as
against hanging.
j. T.~Mannix offered an amendment
to. the Lund bill, giving the jury the
right to prescribe life Imprisonment
upon conviction of murder in the first
degree and requiring the first twelve
days Of every year of .'lifer" to be
spent in solitary confinement on diet
of bread and water.
A. J. Rockne proposed indefinite
postponement for the Lund bill be-
cause he said he believed that the Alley
bill is the only measure which will re-
ceive consideration i'm the house. He
said that the repeal of capital punish
ment laws in Minnesota would mean
innumerable lynchings i'm the state.
The Alley bill provides that the jury
shall have the right to impose the
death penalty or to say that the con-
victed murderer shall be sentenced TO
life Imprisonment. 1t also makes it
obligatory on the court to punish muir
der in the second degree by a straight
term of ten years. The committee rose
without taking action.

passage. under suspension of the rules,
of his bill authorizing the issuance by

AN UNUSUAL RAILROAD EXPE-

ENGINEER BLOWN FROM CAB
An Explosion Started the Runaway Freight Its Perilous Race on the Rails-Tracks Cleared
 in Record Time.

New York.-Railroad men on the Dela- ware, Lackawanna & Western are dis cussing with much interest the unusual and perilous method resorted to to stop runaway freight train which rushed headlong at furious speed for distance of five miles without a guiding hand at the locomotives throttle, after the en- zine driver had been whisked out of the cab window at point five miles from Port Morris, N. J., by the force of an ex- plosion.
 Train No. 43. laden with milk, and bound west, was bowling along at good speed when the accident occurrerd. Pat rick Fortin, the engine driver was in his seat in big camel-back engine, while his fireman was out on the tender, pre- pairing to hook down water spout into the reserve box when the train reached Waterloo.
 Suddenly the joint of big pipe lead ing from the engine's boilers blew out, and Fortin enveloped in steam, was hurled with terrific force through the cab window. The rattle of the train pre- vented the fireman from hearing the sound of the explosion, so he remained at his place on the tender.
 Fortin landed by the side of the track, scalded and bleeding, but he shouted to a trackman to take word to an operator that No. A was running wild" and to telegraph ahead and clear the track.
 Hoboken received the message and sent it on to Hackensack. There a fast

WHIST ONCE A CRUDE CAME
First Known as Triumph" Whence the Word "Trumps" Is Said
 to Be Derived.

Whist was first called triumph" a name which was afterward corrupted into trump" The eighteenth century saw whist in it's primitive form. the whole object of the game being to win tricks by leading high cards or by rumping. Then came the era of Hoyle which may be said to have lasted from l73O to 1860. and taught players to think not only of their own hands, but of the other hands also. and to take advantage of the positions of the cards in them. Hoyle also taught that trumps might be more profitably employed than in simple trumping. and showed that they might be nsed to disarm the adversary and to obtain secondary advantage in trick making by other suits of less apparent power. It was not until 1860 that the philosophical era can be said-to have begun. and the origin of the new move nent was a knot of young men at Cam bridge. England. known as the Litfo Whist school. This body kept records Of its games. but no one thought of mak- ing the data known until 1861. Coher- ence in the system of play was still wanting. and this was supplied in 1864 with Dr. Poles essay on the theory of the modern scientific whist.

 engine, containing an extra engine driver. was started down the track ahead of the runaway train, and in the same direction as it was running. Instruction was given the engines crew to brush ahead at a fast speed and gradually al- low the runaway train to gain on them until their engine could slow down and allow the approaching train to jolt into it. Then the extra engine driver was to climb over the pilot of the freight en- zine. and, entering the cab. stop the train.
 Meantime the train was plunging ahead at an increasing speed. A way freight got on to a siding at Waterloo in the nick of time to escape . collision. The fireman on the tender kept his po- sition until point few miles past Wa terloo was reached, and. not under standing why the train hadn't stopped for water, went into the cab to learn the reason. When he failed to find the en- zine driver he promptly stopped tue train and sent back brakeman to search for Fortin.

Grace au ciel!" heard one of the 1 young ladies saying. Tt is D'ri-- dear old fellow!"
 Then all hurried out of the coach and kissed him.
 The captain-is he not here?" said ] one of them in French. But D'ri did not understand them and made no an- swer.
 Out wi the lights, an be still" said D'ri, quickly, and the lights were out as soon as the words. Jones, you tie up front leg O one O them hosses Git back in the brush, ladies. Five on 'em. boys. Now up with the pike wall!"
 From far back in the road had come again the clang of the cow-bell. I re- member hearing five strokes and then a loud rattle. In twinkling was off the seat and beside the ladies.

 led them off in the brush, and stopped. We could hear the move and rattle of cavalry in the near road. Then presently the swish of steel, the leap and tumble of horses, the shouting of men. My companions were of the right stuff; they stood shivering, but held their peace. Out by the road lights were flashing. and now we heard pistols and the sound of mighty scutfle. I could stay there in the dark no longer ....
 Wait here and be silent" said, and ran like a madwoman," as they told me long after, for the f1ickering lights.
 There squad of cavalry was shut in by the bikes. Two troopers had broken through the near line. One had fallen, badly hurt: the other was saber to saber with the man D'ri. They were close up and striving fierce ly, as if with broadswords. I caught up the weapon of the injured man, for I saw the Yankee would get the worst of it. The Britisher had great power and a saber quick as cats paw. I could see the corporal was stronger, but not so quick and skillful. As I stood by. quivering with excite ment, I saw him get a slash in the shoulder. He stumbled, falling heav- fly. Then quickly. forgetting my sex, but not wholly, l hope, the conduct tLat becomes woman, I caught the point of the saber, now poised to run him through, with the one I carried. He backed away, hesitated. for he had seen my hat and gown But I made after him with all the fury felt. and soon had him in action. He was tired, have no doubt; anyway. I whirled his saber and broke his hold, whipping it to the ground. That was the last we saw of him, for he made off in the dark faster than could follow The trouble was all over, save the wound of the corporal, which was not as bad as thought. He was up, and one of them, Q surgeon. was putting stitches in his upper arm. Others were tying four ussn together with rope. Their weap- ons were lying in little heap near by. One of the British was saying that Sir Charles Gravleigh had sent for them to ride after the coach.
 "Jerushy Jane Pepper!" said the man D'ri. Never seen no sech wil'cat uv woman es thet air"
 looked down at my gown: felt of my hat, now hanging over one ear. Sure enough, was woman.
 Who be ye, I'd like t know?" said the man Dri.
