Want No Change.

County Commissioner Neil McIn-
mis- and several others appeared before
the legislative committee and filed a
protest from the Mesaba range against
changing the court house site. A
large number are not in sympathy
with the scheme to create a court
house commission to superintend the
work of erecting new building and
to abandon the present site in favor
of another in the downtown district.
This course in regard TO new court
house is planned for in a bill which
has been submitted to the legislature
by citizens of Duluth.
While we have no serious objection
to court house in the downtown
district of Duluth, providing a new
court house is needed, which has been
for some time, but feel that a court
house in one of the range towns will
be near possibility and therefore
cannot see'why the ranges should be
taxed for two court houses. Another
phase Of the subject on which we do
not hitch with the citizens of Duluth
is, taking tue business of the county
from the hands of the county COM
missioners who were elected to do all
the countY's business.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Negotiations
for the sale of the Denver, Northwest
ern and Pacific railway, which David

from Denver to Salt Lake, has been
concluded with the Union Pacific and
it is expected that the Denver road
will be turned over to the Hartman

that about s7,O0OO0O was paid for the
control of the Denver road, whose

not be confirmed.
The road runs through rich coal and

than the Union Pacific route.
1t is expected this road will be used

WANTS TO UNSEAT
SENATOR PLATT
POSTAL PROGRESS LEAGUE
MAKES CHARGES
Chairman Post Says He Will Ask the
United States Supreme Court
for a Restraining
Order 4
b. Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-At a meeting
of the Postal Progress league in
Cooper Union tonight Chairman Post
of Battle Creek, Mich, said he would
ask the supreme court of the United
States for a restraining order to pre-
vent Senator Thomas c. Platt from
taking his. seat. He said he would
take this action on the ground that
Senator Platt subverts the interests of
the people he has sworn to represent
in the interests of a corporation he
really represents. The affair relates
to the parcels post.
Mr. Post made his announcement in
speech entitled, Our Errand Boy"
After having referred to the postal
deficit and to the fact that the people
OF this country pay annually to the
railroads $4O,0OOOOO, Mr.. Post said
Senator T. c. Platt of New York is
president of the United States Express
company. Word has been passed
around to other senators that no def
mite action should be taken on the post
check money bill. Senator Platt was
approached by my representatives to
know his attitude on the question, and
he clearly defined the fact that he was
opposed to the measure because it was
contrary to the interests of the express
companies.
1--WE met with strong opposition from
a New York state man in a pOSitiOn
to lay some heavy blocks in front of
the wheels of progress, Ellis H. Rob-
erts, treasurer of the United States.
81 have the papers already prepared
and will ask the supreme court at
Washington for a restraining order to
prevent Senator Thomas C. Platt of
New York from occupying his seat in
the United States senate on the ground
that he does not fulfill his duties ac-
cordng to his oath of office; that he
subverts the interests of the people
whom he has sworn to represent to
the interests of corporation which
he really represents. 1t is possible that
the supreme court may not grant this
restraining order. We shall make an
urgent effort for it, however,
After the meeting closed in answer
to questions Mr.. Post said that his
lawyers, ID. E. Dawson and Nathan
Wilson, would present the matter
against Senator Platt to the United
States supreme court next week, but
would not specify the day.
