BLOOMINGTON CARS REMAIN
Efforts of Directors of St. Barnabas

The Bloomington street cars will con-
tinue to run on Sixth street between
Eighth and Tenth avenues S, in spite
Of the protest of the directors of St.
Barnabas hospital who petitioned the
city council to order the street car com
pany to choose another route After
the council committee on railroads had
denied the petition at meeting yester-
day the Rev. Irving P. Johnson, on
behalf of the hospital directors, asked
permission to- withdraw the petition
and the COMMITTEES granted the request.
Rev. p. A. Skogsbergh Of the Swed-
ish tabernacle argued against the pro-
posal to- operate the cars on Seventh
street and John P. Nash gave the OBJ
jections of Seventh street residents to
such change. The proposal to change the
route from Sixth to Fifth streets was
opposed by the residents Of Tenth ave-
nue., who asserted that such change
would necessitate walk of a block in
order to reach the present transfer
point on Sixth street and Tenth ave
nues s.. The Fifth street route was
also opposed by the street railway COM
pany which was represented by w. j.
HELD, general manager.

Increasing Number Of Outside Mem
bers Appear in St. Paul, and a
Roundup May Occur Before the
Seventh District Caucus on Monday
Johnson's Four Rivals Unable to
Unite.

All candidates for speaker are MAX
ing earnest efforts to settle the contest,
and it would not be surprising if the
fight were over before the seventh dis
tflct caucus on Monday. L. H. John
son s supporters say that when the out
side members begin to come in numbers
to st: Paul there will be such a strong
showing for johnson that it will set
tie the question.
The four other candidates are all on
hand, and all busy. They all declare
themselves perfectly satisfied with the
situation and their prospects, They
were trying hard to get together last
night, but after conferences that lasted
until about 2 am, they gave up the
effort for awhile Messrs, Hugo, Tighe,
Rocknie and, Nolan are unanimous on
one point. Each one wants to be the
candidate on whom the field Is to
unite, and each one sticks firmly today
to that position. It is their inability
of dark horse. .:%..
Andrew Davis and Frank T. White of
Elk River were in ST.. Paul today. They
are for johnson and say that johnson
has eight Of the eleven sixth district
members, and may show up with nine
votes from there. = .-
"Bob'' Wells wired down , from
breckenridge that the eight members
from the ninth who came out for
johnson are standing solid, and that
assurances have been received from an
other. The johnson men are claiming
today gain of another member in the
second and another one in the seventh
district who will vote for johnson in
the caucus Monday H 49,.
S. D. Peterson of New Ulm, who is
for Peterson first and johnson as Sec
ond choice, was also in today.
The candidates are mingling in
friendly fashion. johnson and Hugo

CUMMINGS COMPANY
SUSPENDS BUSINESS

'EKnockers' are responsible for the
embarrassment and suspension of the
Cummings Commission company, mem
bers of the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce and operating many Offices
turnout the northwest.
The head Offices of the company at
st. Paul and the branch at Minneapo-
lis did not open for business today, the
explanation being given in the follow
ing formal statement from the head
of the firm:
''The systematic knocking that has
been going on against this company
for some time has created such con-
dition of affairs that our attorneys ad-
wise us to close up all accounts at the
close Of today's (Wednesday's) mar
kets, SO as to protect in a measure all
alike. It will be few days before
we can give results.

DUE TO MANY CAUSES
w. H. Truesdale Says Freight Conges
ton Reflects a General Condition

Even such an eminent diagnostician
of railway conditions as w. H. Trues-
dale, president Of the Lackawanna road,
is unable accurately to set forth the
causes of the existing freight conges-
ton M. Truesdale is the guest Of his
sister, Mrs. Joseph Gaskell, .l414 Lin
den avenue, for two days.
Lack of trained men is a feature
that Mr.: Truesdale suggests as a partial
cause Of the car shortage middle. Bust
ness has grown so rapidly that it is
hard to secure enough men skilled in
the work to keep the roads going.
"The car situation in the east is
not quite so serious as here,' said Mr.
Truesdale, "but still the situation is
the same the country over. There is
great scarcity. The situation re-
suits from a combination of circum-
stances, and not from any one. The
whole business of the country is at the
maximum. The roads and all are do
ing, business under strained conditions,
and the roads and their patrons are
equally at their wits end. ~

interests the mothers of young children

and colds, or to ward off threatened
attack Of Group. For this purpose we
can recommend Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy. It always proves beneficial.
In cases Of Group it should be given
