FIND NO CHEATING
Committee Decides the Grain
Weighers Are Honest

No substantiation could be found
yesterday at a hearing of the house
special committee to investigate all
legged abuses in the state grain weigh
Ing department at terminal elevators
and mills.
Z Representative A. Hanaford's special
investigating committee met yesterday
afternoon in the senate grain and
warehouse committee room and exam
1ned eight witnesses. The witnesses
included members of the state weighing
department. Henry Feig, inspector of
country elevators, also testified before
the committee. The testimony of the
state department officials was that the
men employed in elevators and ware
houses had shown Uniform honesty in
weighing grain.
The committee heard evidence to es-
tablish whether the track system of
weighing wheat in cars, proposed in
bill now before the legislature, is bet
ter than the hopper system, now in
use, and as to the practicability of the
track scale plan. c. A. Magnuson.
president of the Northwest Elevator
company, st. Paul, testified that it was
impractical TO Install track scales, be-
cause, he said, II would require the
constant attendance of a locomotive to
move the cars on and off the scales
Mr., Magnuson also testified that it was
difficult to establish a proper founda-
ton beneath the track scales. 1t was
admitted that there might be oppor-
tunity for loss between the grain car
and the hopper in which the wheat is
finally weighed, but the experts declar-
ed that the difficulties that attended
the installation of the track scale plan
more than outweighed the reasons for
the change.
The committee adjourned without
date, and 1T is said that it may not
hold another meeting.

BLIND JURY LISTS
Bill Is Planned Protecting Call
of Jurors

Members of the Twin City delegation
in the legislature are agitating the pas
sage Of law which will make 1t a mis-
demeanor for clerks of court to make
public the list of jurors drawn for any
general term of court
1t is claimed that abuses have grown
up In the system now in vogue. 1t is
said that attorneys of public service
corporations, like the Twin City Rapid
transit company, are able to secure the
jury lists long before the attorneys
who may have personal injury and 9TH
er cases against them, and that an un-
fair advantage is thus given the cor
porations.
A group of Twin City members yes
terday discussed the proposed bill, and
1t was agreed that to best serve the
ends of common fairness it should be
made misdemeanor for any clerk or
his deputies to give access to the Jury
lists before the term began. Either this
plan, or a law to make the lists public
property, was suggested.

ably recommended by the house COM
mittee on insane hospitals yesterday

Ware Resolution Passed

The Ware resolution. expressing ap-
probation of Senator Clapp's position
on the Esch-Townsend bill in congress
sional committee, was passed by the
house yesterday, but not until Demo-
cratic members had called Mr.. Wares
attention to the position of the Demo-
cratic members on the senatorial COM
mittee. They showed that the Demo-
Gratis on the committee were more
united for the bill than the Republican
majority. j. t. Mannix said that the
resolution served to put both Mr.
Ware and Mr.. O'Laughlin, who criti-
cised the resolution, back in their party
harnesses. Mr.. Ware had refused to
vote for the Republican senatorial
nominee, and Mr.. OIaughlin, though
a Democrat, had voted for Senator
Clapp. The whole matter was regard
ed by the members in the light of a
joke.

RULES MAY KILL THE
SMiTH-WALLACE BILL
Representative Rockne's Objection May
Prevent Passage of Measure

Unless the Smith Wallace bill. to
permit protests being filed against the
assessment of taxes on personal prop
erty, shall pass the Legislature today, it
will not be of any effect until next
year. The 10 per cent penalty on per-
sonal property taxes accrues March 1.
The Smith senate bill has passed the
senate, and yesterday Carl L. Wallace,
author of an identical house measure,
secured the substitution of the senate
bill for his own, and in general orders
moved that the senate bill pass. A. ].
Rockne, of Goodhue, raised the point
that the bill is revenue measure and
must originate in the house, and the bill
went over a day. If it does not pass
the house today and obtain the gov
ernor's signature its purpose will be
nullified so far as the taxes of 1904 are
concerned

To Abolish Justice. Courts

1t is expected that an effort will be
made in the present legislature to abol-
ish justice courts in st. Paul. Pre-
vious legislatures have seen repeated
attempts to legislate the justices of the
peace in st. Paul out of Office, but the
justices have fought hard and have
been able to defeat all attempts to en-
compass their official deaths. Mime
apolis has had no justice courts for
some years, and members of the legis-
lature from Hennepin county say that
the plan has worked admirably.

E. E. Bonner, prosecuting attorney OF

pose OF bringing friendly suit to deter
mine the location OF the boundary line

son county. There is a strip comprising
a tier OF sections along the boundary line
that is in dispute. The question was re-
ferred to the attorney general for the
purpose of securing an opinion as to
whether the matter was one that could
be settled by legislative act. Assistant
Attorney General Falknor holds that
the matter is one for adjudication by the

CAREER OF OREGON SENATOR
NOW UNDER INDICTMENT.
United States Senator Mitchell, Who Is Indicted
by Portland Grand Jury for Alleged Use
Of His High Position to Aid Land Frauds.
Is Veteran Of Many Political Battles.

John H. Mitchell, senior United States
senator from Oregon, who was indicted
at Portland for alleged violation of the
law in accepting $1,000 for the use Of his
influence as a senator in furthering a
fraudulent land scheme, is a veteran OF
many political battles. He has been
charged by his political enemies with
many crimes, more serious, if possible,
than that for which he is under indict-
ment, but he has always been victor
when the tug of war came.
Senator Mitchell was born in Wash.
ington county, Pa, in 1885, and went to
Oregon in 1860, after few years resi-
dence in California. He became more
prominent gradually, and by 1866 came
within one vote of being his parly's
choice for United States senator. He
incurred the bitter hostility of William
Lair Hill, brilliant lawyer, who was
then editor OF the Portland Oregonian.
Hill learned that Mitchell was living
under sn assumed name, and made a
trip to Pennsl Ivania, where he traced
Mitchell's antecedents.
t was discovered that Mitchell's real
name was John Nipple, and that while
very young he had married poor girl,
the daughter of washerwoman, by
whom he had several children. lie left
his family and disappeared, and in due
time turned up on the Pacific coast, as
"John H. MITCHELL" His identity hav-
ing been established, the Oregonian
printed an exposure which caused a
sensation in the state. For years after.
ward the Oregonian referred to him as
"John Nipple MITCHELL"
Mitchell did not deny the truthfulness
of the story. Instead, he took the people
of Oregon into his confidence, admitted
that he had changed his name and asked
the people to judge him by his record
among them as man rather than by
the errors Of ms youth. He took steps
to have his new name 'legalized and
made peace with his former wife by
proper legal settlement.
The people OF Oregon took Mitchell at
his word, aud the attacks upon him were
unavailing. In 1872 he was elected to
the United States senate and took his
seat on March 4, 1873, the same day
upon which William B. Allison entered
upon his career in the senate. Allison
has served continuously ever since, and
now has the record of having served
longer than any other man, living or
dead. But Mitchell has been in and out
several times, and eveIy campaign, with
few exceptions, has been fight in
which the fur flew.
Senator Mitchell married early in his
Oregon career, before the exposure OF his
Pennsylvania experience. His second
wife was resident OF Oregon, OF beauty
and good family. Several daughters and
one son we've born to them. The son,
John II. Mitchell, Jr., is prominent
lawyer in Oregon. One daughter, Matte,
was a famous beauty and belle in WASH
ington. In 1891 she married the Duke
de la Rachefoucauld, and is living in
Paris, where her mother is now visiting
her.
