the closest attention. The remarks OF
the speaker were received with applause.
Senator Lodge said in part:
The president laid down In his mes

There is no shutting our eyes 10 the
fact that great movement Is now going
forward TO the government ownership Of
railroads. fear that in putting the rail-
roads and other great corporations under
government ownership you would found
eociai Bureaucracy not only tyrannIeal
but economically weak.
"The policy OF the president Is not TO
attack the railroads. for the railroads
do not earn very splendid dividends. and
no one wants 10 see the railroads other
than prosperous. what the presidents
policy stands for Is an equallzatio Of
rates. not only TO give the smaller shipper
fair returns. but also to make up 10 the
railroads that which the great corpora
fions give up I'm the matter OF rebates.
and 10 abolish rebates and the diff

After the dinner Senator Lodge was

railroad rates corresponded with those OF
the president. and the senator replied.
The president insists only on govern

RAILROAD NOTES
Maanate HiIPs Romance.

ST Paul, April 10.-Mrs. James j.
Hill, wife of the president of the Great
Northern railway company, who was
taken sullenly i'll while with her hus-
band on JekyI Island. just across from
Brunswick. Ga, is about So years old.
Her maiden name was Mary Michigan
and at the time she met the future rail
road magnate she was employed at the
Merchants hotel in this city. She was
very young at the time and after Mr..
Hill became interested in her she took
a thorough course in a seminary be-
fore marrying him. 1t is matter of
common knowledge that il has been
the influence of Mrs. Hill that caused
the railroad man to contribute so lib
orally to charitable institutions, partic-
ularly those of the Catholic church.
Mr.. Hill is not a protesting Catholic.
More than any human being she has
power over the railroad man and, save
in business matters, is prominent In
controlling him. She has never taken
a leading part in ST Paul society, but
has shown herself a charming enter
tainer when it has become necessary
for her to exert herself in that line.
She is little known to the people OF
St. Paul in spite of the fact that she
has occupied the position of wife OF
the richest man in the city for many
years. She is retiring and unobtrusive
and is said to have charming wit in
her home circle.

cinating personalities that gets close
20 her audience from the outset, the
attachment growing as the play pro-

were gorgeous. Her supporting COM

William Donald, a Davenport boy, a
son of Gustav Donald, for years editor
OF a German newspaper in that city
and himself prominent in theatricals.
The young man has only small part.
but is promised something better next

Miss Holland. but the patronage at
neither was what it deserved to be.
