Special to The Journal.
New York, July 10.-The group of
railroads that centers at the twin cities
is showing relatively the best results
from the operations Of the last six
months of the fiscal year and from
those of May and June. The Milwau-
kee and the Great Northern are con-
spicuous. The former shows an in
crease of nearly $9OO,OOO for the eleven
months in net and Of 100000 in gross
for May, saving nearly the whole of it
in net. The Hill railroad, always a
consistent performer, shows the mag
nifcent increase Of $63l 900 for the
month Of June. For the year this rail
road shows the record increase of
500 line and Canadian Pacific are
other good ones. The former, with its
net increase of over 100000, and its
nearly 80 per cent, is better than the
Hill railroad in percentage. The 500
line, in fact, is the wonder of the
hour. The Canadian Pacific admits that
the purchase of the 500 line was a
gamble pure and simple. It was hoped
at the time Of the purchase that in
time the road would earn it's charges
fa1rly we'll. Inc SCOck came cheap, sc
| it was taken, more to keep other rail
roads from buying it than because the
| Canadian Pacific really wanted it. Now
the 500 line is leading the rest of the

earnings.

making record earnings. The UnioI
Pacific main line is said to be carry

history at lightest cost per ton PEE
mile. In other words, the immense I'M

the past four years are showing direct
results in both the volume of tonnage
and in the cost of carrying it. The
standardizing Of the equipment begun
last year has proved successful ex

This summer the northwestern rail
roads will eclipse all transportation
records on this continent. This is the

JET MAY NEED JIU JITSU
MINNEAPOLIS CELESTIAL ABOUT
TO START ON A JOURNEY
WHEREIN DANGERS MAY LURK.

Chin M. Jett, Chinese interpreter of
the local immigration bureau, is to have
a chance to test the effect of President
Roosevelt's new declaration concerning
the Chinese exclusion act. He leaves
tonight for a. thirtg-days leave of abb
'sence and will travail TO Boston and
New York over ttn;. 500 line. This is
where the rub wiHisl1ne. The 500 line
crosses the Canadian border on it's way
to the east. When Mr.. Jett gets to the
boundary returning to the United
States, the test will come if the immi-
grafton officers are alert. -e 81
Jett comes clearly in the class to
whom President Roosevelt would show
favor. This includes the educated Chi
nese, merchants and officials of the
Chinese government. Against the diff
fculty Jet may have, Inspector Will
liam D. Morse, under whom he works,
has prepared a document that is ex-
pected to satisfy the officials and make
ing. the way Of an employee Of the
United States government and that he
is not subject to the operation Of the
exclusion act. e..' I'D .. ---.i
The credentials consist Of formid.

that Jett is an employee Of the Mime.

Should Jett really be held up where
he crosses the border into the United
States, contingency will arise or
which the officials may not be count
ing. Mrs. Jett will accompany her hus
band, and as she is German born, il
not subject to exclusion. It is probabl
that she will not submit to even a tenn
porary separation, and that the inspect
ors will not be. able to stand up unde,

CASSINI, sNUBBED,
LEAVES CAPITAL
Russia's Retiring Ambassador Re.
ceives No Honor Common to
Such Occasions.
New York Sun Special Service.

NEW 4Orh gun SyoCld1 oortACcs
Washington, July 1o.-Gount ,Cassini,
said farewell to Washington and has
gone to New York. He will sail Tues
day on the Kaiser Wilhelm III. and prob
ably will go first to Paris, where he will
rest for some time before going on to
St. Petersburg.
Baron Mayor de Planches, the Italian
ambassador, the Mexican charge, the
Danish minister and most Of the other
members Of the diplomatic corps who
are in the city were at the depot to say
their, goodbyes: The ambassador was
deeply affected by his departure from
Washington under conditions which
practically amount to a rebuke.
Baron Rosen had expected to accom-
pany Count Cassini to New York, but
their relations became so badly strained
during his short stay here that he con-
Guided he would not go.
Bar9 N Rosen came to Washington Fri,
instead Of being entertained at the en-
bassy, he stayed at a hotel. Instead Of
coming directly to Washington after his
arrival at New York, Rosen went to
Manchester by the Sea to look after his
summer home. This was interpreted as
a snub to Cassini
Rosen 3 attitude toward his ,predecess-
instead Of having been promoted to
Madrid, as he had claimed, Cassini
had really been recalled and left
Washington in disgrace. This belief
among the other diplomats is 50 strong
that they. paid the retiring ambassador
none Of the honors due his rank.
AS an ambassador a2d dean Of the
diplomatic corps, -Cassini was entitled by
diplomatic etiquette to formal fare
well banquet, but none Of that kind was
arranged.
Cassini is an ardent champion Of the
war party in Russia, while Rosen be-
longs to the peace party. After all of
his talk about war to the bitter end,
it is particularly distasteful to Cassini
to be succeeded by a member of the
| peace faction -

RETURNED TO SCOTLAND
Donald Mackerchar Travelled by Easy
Stages to HIN Native Land.

Donald Mackerchar, assistant cashier
Of the First N tional bank, returned to-
day after a ten weeks vacation. All
but eight days he spent in Scotland and
on the way. Eight days were. given to
England. -
It. is six years since Mr.. Mackerchar
had visited the land of his birth and the
occasion was enjoyable. He comes back
hale, hearty, heavier and brown. The
trip was taken easily. The journey to
trip was on boats which made slow
time and in Scotland the stops made at
several different points were as long as
suited the traveller g pleasure. Mr..
Mackerchar declares that he had good
weather all the time, which shows the
Americans that they do not control
world wide conditions, speaking me-
teorologically.

MORAL AWAKENING
IN DOODLE FIGHT
Folk Says st. Louis and Mime
apolis Exposures Woke Up
the Public Conscience.
New York Sun Special Service.


Jefferson City, Mo-, July 10.-In re-
Spouse to a request as to his opinion of
the significance Of the boodEng expos
ures SO generally being made and as to
whether it indicates a decadence in the
moral tone of the American people,
Governor Folk said today:
The hunt for boodlers and grafters now
going on from one end of the land to the
other is an evidence not Of moral degen-
Grafton, but of moral awakening. Up
to three years ago there had only been
thirty-four cases of bribery reported in
the books in the preceding 100 years OF
our country's history. :. g IT,
L This was not because the offense was
uncommon, but for the reason 1t was I'M
usual for anyone to be prosecuted for
what was then termed a conventional
crime. Men gave brides and thought
nothing of it. Men took brides and
boosted of the fact; legislatures became
dens of thieves; the touch Of the unclean
dollar was over all and the public con-
science was asleep. Then came the reve-
lations in St. Louis, followed by Mime
apolis and other cities, and the people
awoke to how they were being plundered
by their trusted officials, and to the fact
that bribery, If allowed to go on I'M
checked, would mean a government not
of the people, but of the few wealthy
enough to purchase official favors. From
city to city and state to state the idea
went until now many states and cities
are waging war against the things that
dishonor. .+.-. j.
This condition should encourage all low
ers Of good government, for the remedy
for corruption in its last analysis lies in
the hearts of the people. We have
passed thru the commercial age when the
chief end and aim was to acquire wealth;
we are entering now into,the age of high
ideals. The question is now, not how to
get rich. but how to get right. The rule
Of the dollar is not as potent as it was
and the reign Of law Is becoming more
accepted. We are passing from evil to
good and from darkness into light.

RANCHMAN VICTIM OF

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 10.-According
to information received from Thermop-
oils, Bob Mccoy, a well known ranch
man on the Big Horn river, has been
a deserted cabin and shot him in the
back as he was about to enter. His
body was then weighted with stones
and sunk in the river.
Several times during the past few
months Mccoy had received anonymous
letters threatening his life. In each the
statement was made that if it became
necessary to kill him, one of his ears
would be cut off in order that others
who had been warned to leave might
know how he came to his death. One

TICKET MARKET DISTURBED
"Weak Lines to Chicago May Grant
a 81 Round Trip Rate.

stStrong line'' railroad tickets are
said to be so thick in the local market
that possibility exists that some of
the weak lines will put in a 81 round
trip rate to Chicago, to stay in, during
the summer season. Some of the long
lines to Chicago have done good bust
ness all summer to Chicago. This traf.
fc was discovered to have fallen off
suddenly after the cheap round "trip
rates from Chicago for the automobile
carnival were put in. The fact is that
the return coupons sold under the regu-
lar fare to Chicago caused business to
drop off suddenly.
The cheap tickets to the carnival
were offered in graded prices, rates
increasing according to return limit.
It was an easy matter for the brokers
to buy in Chicago, ship the stubs up
here to sell at from So up for the one
way trip from Minneapolis to Chicago.
It was also possible for them to buy
from persons who did not care: to re-
turn within the limit. The result is
that the market is said to be very much
disturbed, with prospect Of a more
severe upheaval.

eral public, which pays $18. The rail
ships the finished product out over its
