CLUB FOR THE WEST.
St. Paul Autolsts Plan Union
of Big Cities

The Automobile club of ST. Paul held
meeting yesterday noon at the Com
mercial club at which a very import
ant matter was considered. This was
the formation Of National Automobile
association to include Chicago, ST.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and the
Twin Cities. An officer OF the ST. Paul
club left yesterday for Chicago where
he will lay the matter before the Off
GERS of the Chicago club with the idea
or gaining the support of that club
This action is partly the result Of
the failure of st. Paul to get the big
endurance race of the American Auto
mobile club and partly for other rea-
sons. 1t is pointed out that the Amer
lean club is a purely eastern body and
as such could hardly be expected to
mold the biggest race of the year in the
west. 1t was stated, however, that the
action of the American In choosing the
White Mountain route might not be
final and that St. Paul still might have
chance TO secure the race.
The officer who went TO Chicago yes
terday was instructed to put the prof.
ect up to the officers of the Windy City
club and report back as to the proba-
bility of getting together.

Mrs. Louis Says She Shot Physician to
Hurt Him, Not to Kill Him

DECATUR, Ill.-Remarkable cool
ness is exhibited by Mrs. Thomas ID.
Louis in Jail here for shooting DR.. w.
l.. Rukenbrod. Since her arrest she has
shown no signs of excitement and does
not seem to care in the least whether
the doctor RECEIVERS or dies. In this
respect she is the most unusual woman
prisoner ever jailed in Decatur.
Mrs Louis denies she wanted to kill
the doctor.
Il did not want to kill DR.. Ruken-
brod. but he tried to make me suffer
pain, so I wanted to make him suffer
the same pain he tried to inflict upon
me-" she said. IL shot him for that pur-
pose. l am not at all sorry for what
/ have done.
Il am told that he is getting along
very well, but do not care. 1t is none
of my concern whether he lives or dies
It is not at all disagreeable being in
Jail. / expected would come here and

Louis and his wife were arraigned be-
fore Justice Mccoy and waived exami-
nation. They were bound over to await
the action of the grand jury, and the
bond of each was fixed at $500, the
charge being assault with intent to kill.

NEWS OF THE CITY
FARM LAND FAILING
Manitoba Is Less Fertile as
Wheat Country

There is no Disgusting the fact that
the wheat fields of Manitoba are grow
ing less fertile every year" said Will
lam Henderson of Brandon. Man, who
was at the Ryan last night. THE peo-
PIE in the province do not like to ad-
NIT il, but it is a fact.
For thirty years, the wheat fields
of Manitoba have been the marvel of
the world. They will not be so much
longer. Manitoba is as thickly set.
tied as Minnesota, and the soil has been
stripped of all its virgin strength which
made it famous as a wheat producing
country.
This does not mean that. the prov
lnce Will be any the less rich in farm,
products. The people up there are be-
ginning to try diversified farming. oats
and barley will be raised, in order that
stock may be run on the land, and some
of the. strength may be put back into
1t that has been taken out for thirty
years. Your secretary of agriculture:
is not sounding any false alarm when
he says the wheat fields of the north
west are beginning to fail. 1t takes
rich dirt to grow wheat. / have been
in that province twenty years, and /
know it is a good country but it won't
last forever"
Mr. Henderson has just returned
from a business trip to Toronto. He
says that the school question is the one
which is engrossing the attention Of
the government, and is the one which
will cause the big political fight in the
near future. Clifford Sifton, the cab
met minister who resigned, is former
Brandon lawyer.
French Catholics, generally speak,
ing, want separate schools said Mr..
Henderson. THE English Protestants
want the common schools for all. The
contest has grown bitter, and shows no
signs of abating"

Iowa Supreme Court Upsets DipIo-

Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The de-
cision of the Iowa supreme court, by
which Gov. Cummins will remain in
office another year beyond the expira-
ton of his present term, upsets several
well laid plans. 1t was the programme
for Conger, the retiring minister to
China, to come home and go as minis
ter to Mexico for a brief stay, when he
would return and accept the nomina-
ton for governor to succeed Cummins.
Assistant Secretary Loomis of the
state department was slated in this ar
rangement to follow Conger in Mexico.
1t is not conceivable that the appoint
ment of Loomis to a distant post can
be delayed for a whole year in any ar
rangement which retains Hay at the
head of the state department There
fore 1t seems likely that the action of
the Iowa supreme court has crowded
Conger into retirement, which NAV be-
come permanent.

THINKS LUMBERMEN
HAD UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

PORTLAND, Ore, April 6.-Charles
w. Eberline, land agent of the South
ern Pacific company was the princi-
pal witness today before the federal
grand jury investigating land frauds.
The testimony of .Eberline, corrobo-
rated by the record of the Southern
Pacific, established the fact that
simultaneously with the settling of
large amount of railway land, which
comprised the odd numbered sections.
large tracts of government lands,
which comprised the even numbered
sections of the district, were located
upon.
The government will attempt to
prove that this was more than COIN
eldence and that it was done for ex-
ploitation in the interest of a large
lumber company in southern Oregon.
George H. Kelly of the Booth-Kelly
Lumber company, the largest lumber
ing interest in southern Oregon, was
also a witness.
