BUSINESS men TO
MEET RAILROADS
CONFERENCE TOMORROW RE-
GARDING STATE FAIR RATES.
Effort Will Be Made to Induce the
500, the Northern Pacific and tho
Great Northern to Grant Reductions
More Activity Against Cricket
Scalping" May Be Pledged.

Business men Of the twin cities are
taking much interest in the controversy
regarding half-fare rates to the Min
nesota state fair, which has been raised
by the 500 line, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads. After the no.
LITIGATION Of the state fair officials that
these lines had in contemplation a with
drawal Of the usual half-fare rate on &C
count of the difficulties with ''scalp-
ers," conference was held last Fri
day, but without definite results.
Since that time there has been some
thing doing. The commercial bodies of
Minneapolis and st. Paul have consid
cred the subject and are much put out
over the bare possibility Of a refusal
Of the usual half-fare rate for the state
fair. It is pointed out that this would
state fair, but that it would be equally
detrimental to the interests of the two
cities as we'll as unjust to the great
mass Of residents Of Minnesota and the
Dakotas, who must depend for trans
portation to the fair upon the lines
mentioned. (.
At the same time, the business men
appreciate the railroads difficulties
with the g ticket scalpers,' and are dis
case by putting down the evil. Several
prominent business man and representa-
tives Of commercial bodies will appear
with officers of the state agricultural
society at conference to be held to-
morrow at pm, in the office of F. I.
Whitney, traffic manager Of the Great
Northern road On this occasion Gen
eral Passenger Agents Stone of the
Great Northern, Cleland Of the North
ern Pacific and Galloway Of the 500 line
will be assisted in the presentation of
the railroad side by their counsel, while
the state fair will be represented by
President Cosgrove, Vice President G.
M. Griggs, Secretary Randall and others,
and the Minneapolis Commercial club
will be represented by Secretary w. G..
Nye and w. S. Dwinne1l of the public
affairs committee.
Strong pressure will be brought to
bear upon the roads to secure the usual
half-fare rate, and it is believed that
the business men will offer their CO.
operation in coping with the scalping
evil AS Mr.. Nye was foreman Of the
last Hennepin county grand jury, which
found indictments against half dozen
ticket brokers, he will be able to show
the railroad people that the cities are
not as Indifferent to the situation as
has been intimated. The result of the
conference will be watched with much
| interest

GOES TO JURY TOMORROW
LAWYERS IN CLEMENT CASE FIN
IsH THEIR ARGUMENTS TO THE
JURY TODAY.

= The case against Thomas B. Clement,
the Faribault banker, will go to the
jury tomorrow morning. Attorney w.
session of the court continuing his adj
dress to the Jury. Mr.. Houpt, the dis
triet attorney, occupied the afternoon.
MI LaWler, taking up the third
count. relating to the Shaft-Pierce note,
said that there was no evidence which
even in the remotest manner connects
the defendant with this entry. The
case OF the state, he said, rests entirely
on the vague and unsupported testi-
mony OF Cashier Whitney, who, if the
instruction was actually given to him
to forward this note to- the New York
bank, and then enter it as an asset and
he obeyed, made himself an accomplice.
With regard to the counts relating
to the Rogers drafts aggregating $18.,
$50, Mr.. Lawler said: 1--WE claim that
there was a lawful and valid considera-
tim tor them and that the transaction
shows perfect. good faith and honesty
The counts from the eighth to the
twenty fifth inclusive, alleging the mis-
application of about $4,000 Of the
funds of the bank on alleged fictitious
drafts Of the Minnesota Lumber com.
pany, were next considered, Mr.. Law
Ter saying: GIVE claim that the en-
tries were in themselves correct; that
the bank at the time received, SO fa1
as the books show, money, or its equiv
alent. The allegation that the entries
are false can only be supported on the
assumption that the defendant knew
that the drafts were fictitious, while
in the twenty seventh count, in which
the defendant is charged with abstract
ing money funds and credits Of the
! bank to the extent Of over 100000, the
assumption is that these very drafts
were valid and worth 100 cents on the
| dollar. = L

LITTLE CHANGE SHOWN
Bishop Joyce Still Making Good Fight for
Recovery.

The last twelve hours have not de-
veloped perceptible change in the condi-

into coma at intervals and again is con-
scious for gratifying lengths Of time. No
definite change is expected for few
hours and what that will be Is only q
matter of anxious speculation. The
bishops voice has been clearer, his tenn
perature lower and mind more clear with
indications for recovery. However, the
strain is necessarily telling on the pa
tents constitution.

how many machines will eventually
complete the run, as there is no way Of

expected that all the cars will be in by
tomorrow and the grand banquet will
