Hon. Joel Heatwole is rendering
the state real and practical service
by publishing the comparative
tables of freight rate in the North
field News. We trust that after he
finishes the series he will issue them
in pamphlet form. Every man in
Minnesota that ships pound of
freight should carefully examine
them.

w. j. BLACK REPLIES.
Explains Some Things About Inter-
changeable Mileage Ticket.

The interchangeable mileage ticket in
use by the railroads in Kansas was the
subject on which General Passenger
Agent W. J Black of the Santa Fe,
was questioned in the examination con-
Quoted by Frank Monnett, when he was
on the witness stand for the purpose OF
giving his deposition to be used in the
suit against the Santa Fe alleging Vlo-
latiOn of the antitrust laws of Kansas
Mr.. Monnett made determined effort
to prove that the interchangeable mile
age ticket in use by the various INES
was Illegal and in violation of the anti
trust laws.
Mr.. Black declares that the effort of
Mr. Monnett to prove the interchange
able mileage ticket illegal, is absurd.
s.rrbe contention is of course decidedly
amusing to any one claiming any
knowledge of existing conditions or the
necessities of the commercial traveller
saws Mr.. Black. The surprising feature
however is the attempt to take away
from the commercial traveller an ac-
commodation he has been seeking Ior
many years and which was granted MN
by the railroads several years ago con-
trary to their own judgment. The rail
roads would much prefer a ticket Whlch
required exchange at ticket Office be-
fore being presented on lhe Tram anu
would likewise prefer to CONNIE mile
age arrangements to lnd1Vldual nlle-
age tickets for each line but out OF de-
ference to the wishes and necessities OF

THREW FIRE BRAND.
Attempt Made to Cremate Sleeping
Italians at Chicopee.

Pittsburg. Kan, March 15-An Ital-
patching" with two Italian boys in a
cabin in West Chicopee, had a close call
from being burned to death during last
night, as did also the two boys, and
the most terrible thing in connection
with the affair is that they were proba-
bly, the victims of a fearful attempt at
murder and arson
About 2 o'clock this morning Pas
quale was aroused by sitting smoke and
flames, and found that his bed was
burning. He leaped from the burning
bed in time to save himself. and picked
up the two boys who We're sleeping on
another bed in the same room. and car
ried them from the room
1t was just in time, as in a few mo-
ments this entire room was enveloped in
flames, and the bed in which he had
been sleeping was mass of ashes in a
short time
An investigation of the cause of the
fire showed that a window at the side
of the bed occupied by PasquaIe had
been broken open and some one had de-
liberately thrown a firebrand onto the
bed occupied by the sleeping man. This
brand. whatever it may have consisted
of, had oil connected with it. SO that
the fire had fierce start and had gain
ed good Roadway.
1t is believed by the Italians of Chic
opee that a deliberate attempt was
made by some enemy to murder Pas
quale, this method being used in the
hope that the fire would cover the
traces of violence, by burning the vic
tim in his home.

CHARGES AGAINST ROBINETT
Metropolitan Railway Company Claims
Legislator Was in Conspiracy

E X Robinett. who was one of the
representatives. from Wyandotte county
in the recent legislatures accused of put
ting up a conspiracy to defraud the Met
ropolitan Street Railway company in
Kansas City. Kan, by a man who was a
former client.
J. B. Van Noy is now on trial in the
Wyandotte county district court for per
jury in connection with case in which
w. c. Yard of Brunswick, Mo, brought
suit against the Metropolitan for 5000
damages for injuries alleged to have been
received in a wreck on the Ninth street
incline two or three years ago. Robinett
was Yards principal attorney. Yard was
placed on the stand to testify yesterday
and he claims he told Robinett he was not
in the wreck at all and had no witnesses
to prove a case against the street car
company, but that RObinett told him to
go ahead and sue any way and he would
furnish the witnesses. Yard says he final
" went so far that he was afraid to back
out and he testified in the case also. He
is now under arrest for perjury also. Yard
testified that he understood the case was
finally compromised for s., 600, but that he
received only $500.

WOULD HELP JOHN COLLINS.
Penitentiary Officers Would Sign APP
peal for His Pardon.

The Leavenworth Times says: Mrs.
James Collins and her daughter. Grace
Collins, have asked Governor Hoch to
pardon John Collins from the peniten-
tiary. Young Collins was sent up as a
hang man. for killing his father. His
mother and sister told the governor that
they were the two most interested in
the affair, and they wanted the boy par
doned, because they do not believe he
is guilty.
The question of Collins guilt is one
which has been we'll discussed all over
the country and opinion seems to have
been evenly divided regarding it.
over at the state prison the officers
say that better prisoner than Collins
has never been under their charge.
He is quiet and attends strictly to the
duties which have been assigned to him.
The officers believe what he says and
he never takes advantage of them. His
position as dollhouse clerk is RESPONSE
bic one and is one in which he gives
satisfaction His knowledge of music
is of great benefit to the band of which
he is the leader. Many visitors to the
prison chapel remark about the excel
lence of the music.
The postmaster at the prison, in
speaking of the Collins case said:
4 believe there is scarcely an officer
in the institution who would refuse to
sign an appeal for Collins pardon. Since
he has come here he has conducted him
self in an honest, manly way that has
won our respect. For myself, will say
frankly that I was prejudiced against
him and believed him guilty before he
came. Since then I have decided that
he was a foolish, badly scared boy who
talked too much and got himself into
hole. AS for the reports that went out
at the time of his admittance as to his
brazen indifference, they were all false.
I sat just across the table from him
when the chaplain was talking to him,
just after he came to the prison. I have
never in my experience seen a man so
Inundated or in such mental agony as
he was. I am pretty well accustomed
to such scenes and can tell whether they
are feigned or not. And I can tell you
that the great drops of sweat that stood
out on John Collins face that day were
no cOunterfeits''
Postmaster Ernst has held his office
over eight years and is in a. position to
know the men. He is closer to them
than any other officer and has chance
to judge their natures because he reads
every letter that they write and every
one that they receive.
