LARGE SUM INVOLVED.
Decision Affecting Minnesota Gross
Earnings Tax.

st. Paul, June 17.-Gross earnings
of railroads and express companies
arising from through shipments be-
tween points in Minnesota when such
shipments pass through part of an
other state In transit are subject to
taxation under the law relating to do
destic commerce, according to rul-
ing of Attorney General Young.
Public Examiner Kerst asked for
the opinion, which will affect many
shipments of ore along the iron range
where the railroads run out of Mime
sofa into Wisconsin and back into
Minnesota.
The United States supreme court
has held that traffic OF this nature is
interstate commerce for the purpose
of rate regulation, but the attorney
generals ruling holds that Minnesota
is entitled to taxes on this business.
Mr. Kerst says this ruling will bring
a large amount of taxes into Mime
sofa, as an effort will now be made to
collect back taxes for the last six
years, which is allowed under the
statute of limitations.

seat of the peace conference which 1t
is hoped may eventually result in a
permanent peace In the Far East there
was a lull In the negotiations. 1t Is
indicated that the selection and the
announcement of the plenipotentiaries
OF Russia and japan to represent them
In the conference will be the next step
toward the conclusion of the prelim-
mary arrangements of the conference.
1t was expected that the announce
ment of the selection OF the plenipo-
tentiaries would be made respectively
from st. Petersburg and Toxic, but 1T
is believed now that the formal an.
nouncement would be promulgated In
Washington after the two governments
shall have communicated their re-
spectiye ENJOYS to President Roose-
welt. The president then will com

formal public announcement of the Sc

coincidentally with the presidents s.
communications to Russia and Japan.

tiaries of the St. Petersburg govern
ment and that the Marquis Ito prob
ably will be the principal representa-.
tive OF Japan. Ito's selection Is GER
tain, provided that his health will per-
nit him to participate in the treaty
negotiations. M. Nelidoff is one of the
most eminent diplomatists in the serv-
ice of Russia and has the confidence
OF Emperor Nicholas to remarkable
degree. He has an extensive knowl-
edge OF both European and Oriental
politics and long experience as a
Russian leader and diplomatist.
So far as can be ascertained here
the number OF the plenipotentiaries to
be nominated by each government has
not been determined, but it Is expected
now that the number will not exceed
three each.

WILL REMAIN ON THE GROUND
Peace Conference lnterferes With the
Plans of Diplomats.

Washington, June 17.-Already the
epoch making meeting to be held be-
tween the plenipotentiaries OF Russia
and Japan to discuss means OF ending
the war, as Russia tentatively eX-
presses it, has received name. In
dispatches to Europe from the embas-
sizes and legations here it is briefly
termed 'sthe Washington conference
The announcement of the selection
OF Washington as the scene of the
peace making has caused practically
the entire diplomatic corps to suspend
indefinitely its programme for the
summer. Despite the reiteration OF
both belligerents that they propose to
negotiate directly with one another
the European powers are prepared to
follow each step Of the negotiations as
closely and as intelligently as cautious
and reserved plenipotentiaries will
permit and to do this the European
ENJOYS must be on the ground. The
informal announcement at the White
House that after converting the con-
ference here, If the plenipotentiaries
were oppressed by the heat, they
would probably adjourn to some water

ton in OF cial Circles.

London, June 17.-While the Moroc-
can question Is causing much attention
in official circles here no serious difll-
culties are expected SO far as Great
Britain is concerned no matter what
decision is arrived at between France
and Germany. Great Britain has prob
ably gone somewhat further than the
other powers in her refusal to take
part i'll the proposed conference of the
signatory powers of the Madrid con-
yention, but should France after all
agree TO conference, which is now
considered probable, Great Britain
could gracefully do likewise, since the
refusal Of Great Britain was made ON
the understanding that the conference
was unfavorably viewed by France.
In fact, the attitude of Great Britain
Is much the same as that OF the United
States, the latter having indicated that
she will wait until 1t Is seen what
France will do.

NO EVIDENCES OF STRIKE
INTEREST AT CHICAGO NOW CEN
TIERS I'M GRAND JURY IN
VESTtGATlON.

Chicago, June 17.-The grand jury
room, where witnesses are being ex-
amined as to payment of money for
the settlement of strikes and regard
ing assaults on nonunion drivers, is
still the center of interest in the team
sters' strike. The Employers associa-
tion is resting and the Teamsters
Joint Council has decided to meet only
every other day
Nothing was heard during the day
about peace and there were no evi-
dences of a strike on the streets. De-
liveries of goods in all lines are almost
normal.
While the statute of limitations may
bar indictments for conspiracy to set
tie strikes by the use of money 1t is
said to be certain that quite number
of indictments for manslaughter will
be returned against persons claimed
to be responsible for deaths resulting
from riots due to the teamsters' strike.
Testimony as to alleged corruption
in connection with strikes was heard
during the day by the grand jury. A
number of business men and two wo-
men were among those subpoenaed TO
appear before the inquisitors. The
women were said to have lived at a
hotel frequented by labor leaders.

PROPOSED INDICTMENTS LAID BE.
FORE FEDERAL GRAND JURY
FOR CONSIDERATION.
TRUE BILLS PRACTICALLY AGREED ON
OFFICIALS OF AT LEAST FIVE
PACKING FIRMS NAMED IN
THE INDICTMENTS.

Chicago, June 17.-Proposed indict-
ments against officials of at least five
packing firms we're said to have been
presented to the members of the fed
eral grand jury by District Attorney
C. Z. Morrison during the day for con-
sideration
A report was current that the indict-
ments had practically been voted by
the jury.
From dozen to forty indictments
are expected as result of the grand
jury's inquiries, which have lasted
since March, during which scores of
witnesses were examined. The charges
are conspiracy, violation of the anti
trust laws, perjury, subornation OF
perjury and intimidation of witnesses.
The accused make charges of their
own, asserting that the homes of some
of them have been practically robbed
by secret service men in search of evil
dence and alleging persecution of in
nocent persons. The latter refers to
the cases where wives of some of the
packing firms employees who left the
city were placed under bond. There
has also developed serious conflict
among the packers themselves. AS a
result of intimations of alleged treach-
cry the government officials are said
to count on producing testimony not
obtainable except by some one turn
ing states evidence.

ROUvIER IN FOREIGN OFFICE
FRENCH PREMIER WILL HANDLE
MOROCCAN DISPUTE WITH
GERMANY.

Paris, June 17.-Premier Rouvier
announced at a meeting of the council
of ministers held at the Elysee palace
at noon that he had definitely decided
to permanently retain the portfolio OF
foreign affairs and relinquish that OF
finance. His decision to remain in the
ministry of foreign affairs was the
result of the earnest request of Presi-
dent Loubet and his colleagues, VINO
desired his strong hand at the helm
during the difficult negotiations with
Germany over Morocco. The status
of the negotiations continues to give
the French officials great isolicitude as
no progress is being made and the par
ties are almost at the point OF having
reached deadlock.
Later in the day 1t was reported that
M. Merlou, at present under secretary
of finance, would be appointed minis
ter of finance.

potentiaries.

st. Petersburg, June 17.-Comment-
ing On the selection of Washington as
the place of meeting for the peace
plenipotentiaries the Novoe Vremya
calls upon Russian diplomacy to pre-
pare to struggle seriously and not re-
peat the drifting policy which the Rus
sian diplomats followed before the
war, to decide what Russia wants and
to act accordingly.
The Russ dwells on the necessity
for selecting the ablest men available
to represent Russia at the Washington
meeting, "since they may have to con-
clude a peace which will determine
for many years Russia's position in
the Far East"
The Bourse Gazette demands that
men representing new and not old
Russia shall be sent. The paper
adds:
THE other powers are already ex-
pressing fears that Russia and Japan
will arrive at rapproachment which
will decide the destiny of Eastern
Asia. These fears should be a power
full instrument in the hands of the
Russian plenipotentiaries."
The Listok says the world formerly
manifested alarm at "the Russian ad-
vance" eastward, but now seems in
different to "Japan's advance" west
ward through Korea and Manchuria.

tested against Japan exploiting China.

stay Japan's victorious march. Russia

dicial to the interests of Europe

Wednesday, February I was de-
voted to the sale of Percherons and
French Draft horses, consigned by
J. W. and J. c. Robinson, of To-
wanda, and in spite of the draw
backs mentioned, the quality of the
animals was such that the sale prov
ed itself a record-breaker in several
respects. 1t was the largest and
best consignment of Percheron
horses ever made by one owner in
the United States, and the prices
realized were much higher than those
of any sale of which we have rec
ord. This was especially true of the
yearling stations, which certainly
outclassed anything ever before Of
fered in this country. The top of
the stallion sale was brought by Cas-
incur 33S9S, sold to Snyder Bros,

top of the mare sale was brought by

by US from the sheriff of Scott coun
ty Illinois, relative to the arrest o.
one Harry Temple here few week:
ago. The man here is doing tailor
business here and at Bucklin. This
man did not prove to be the man
wanted in Illinois, and the sheriff is
of the opinion that there is a number
of fellows operating under the name
of Harry Temple. We publish his
letter for the information of our
readers.
Winchester, ILL.,, z-1o, 1905.
Mr.. John D. Wehrle, Editor, News
Meade, Ksnsas.
Dear Sir:-Yours inquiring par
tlculars concerning the crime of one
Harry Temple, reed. Some time
about the Ist of September, 1904, a
man representing himself to be
Harry Temple, worked insurance in
this county in the vicinity of Bluffs.
He used a horse and buggy which
he hired from the firm of Taylor &
Smith, of Bluffs, reporting at the
barn each day after his days work
canvassing, during the first week.
On beginning his second weeks
work, he asked the livery men if it
would make any difference if he
should happen to be, some distance
from headquarters at the close of
the day and should have a chance to
stop with farmer where he could
have the horse and rig properly
cared for, whether he returned or
not. Having received their money
for the first weeks use of their rig,
Messrs Taylor & Smith replied that
it would be alright if he should find
himself so situated. With this as
surance on their part, the so called
Temple" Immediately set out for
parts unknown, as was discovered
in another weeks time as he did not
return with the horse and rig at the
weeks end. The firm then began an
investigation from which it was learn
ed that Temple had taken advantage
of having them off their guard and
had made good of a weeks start of
all pursuers. Messrs Taylor &
Smith made the usual efforts to To-
cate their man but without results,
until as it was thought, a telegram
from the sheriff of Ford county that
he had in custody party whom he
thought to be the right man was re-
ceived. Mr.. D. H. Smith of the
firm above mentioned, made the trip
to Dodge City under the disadvant-
ages of the recent blockade, only to
find that the party in custody was
the wrong man, and returned greatly
disappointed thathe could not bring
to justice the guilty one.
From all the incidents in the case
and the arrested party in your state,
it would seem that there certainly
must be number of persons oper-
ating under the name of HHarry
Temple"
Trusting this account of the facts
may be of some satisfaction to you
and your readers, l remain,
Very truly yours,
E. N. GILLIAN,
Sheriff Scott Co. Ill.
