GRIM TERROR SPREADING s..
ATTACK LEGALITY
OF A FILING FEE
Prohibitionists Declare $40 Charge
on J, Candidates Before Pri-
maries Is Unconstitutional.

Minneapolis prohibitionists have at.
tackled the Minnesota primary law, or
that section of it that requires the
payment Of a $40 fling fee by candi-
dates. s 81
s William G, Thompson, prohibition
candidate for representative from the
fortieth district, today secured writ
of alternative mandanus, returnable
next Tuesday, by which County Auditor
Hugh r. Scott is cited to appear and
show cause why he shall not accept
Thompson IS affidavit Of candidacy and
place his name on the ticket free OF
charge Mr.. Thompson attempted to
file last week, but Mr.. Scott would not
accept his, fling without the money.
Since that time, the prohibitionists have
combined to test the constitutionality
of the law.
Thompson declares the assessment Of
q $40 filing fee is arbitrary and uncon.
stitutional; that it is an unwarranted
interference with the electors of the
state; that it is entirely unwarranted
by the actual expense incurred by the
state OF county in preparing election
materials; and he asserts that the in
come to the state from filing fees last
year amounted to over $4,000, which
he intimates is graft for some one.
The Importance. of the point raised is
dWelt on in the petition for writ and
a speedy hearing is urged, inasmuch as
electors all over the state will anxiously
await decision # 49," t,..-
The hearing on the alternative writ
is set for next Tuesday. It may be
that both parties will agree to certify
the case directly to the supreme court.

Then Sinks. =:

Washington, June l6-The condition
this morning of Representative Rufus
Lester of Georgia, who last night fell
thru the skylight in the apartment

critical. He lapsed into unconscious

tho slight rally~was noticeable later.
Mr.. Lester had gone to the roof Of
the building shortly after s clock to
look for his two young grandchildren,
and apparently missed his footing, fall

In the fall he sustained internal in
juries and both legs were broken, his
right leg being crushed fearfully.
He was picked up by those who
rushed to where he lay when they heard
the fall and carried to his rooms.
Mr.. Lester had not been. in good
health for some time. He was par

is 6S Years old. S. s & ss4sss zsf@s Sd. (. ty 81
Some encouragement was given by a
slight rally during the forenoon, but
this was followed by relapse and a
serious turn for the worse.

Rome, June 16.-It may be accepted
as true that John M. Farley, arch
bishop of New York, will be the next
American cardinal. The coveted honor
is not to fall upon Archbishop Ireland.
The authority for this announcement
is good enough to be official and be-
fore the end Of the year the archdio-
cese of, New York will have Cardinal
is in calendar form here from the
period when he was loyal young as
sistantr to Cardinal McCloskey. He is
regarded in Rome as the ablest Cath
olic administrator in the United States
The hospitals, seminaries, schools,
libraries and churches established by
Archbishop Farley were enumerated
Thursday night by Cardinal Satoli,
who said at dinner that the New York
head of the Catholic church had added
$20,000.00O to the realty wealth Of
the diocese. zstss yz..zgS-,.
What has counted most for Farley
lis the Influence he seems to have with
the wealthy Protestants who visit the
Vatican. From J. P. Morgan he received
unstinted praise. This YVES SO from all
Americans who visited this city.
It is well known here that many
powerful political influences have been
at WORK IN DenalI or 9ArchDlShOP Ire
land of. ST. p All and, indeed, President
Roosevelt, who has reascns to be- under
obligations to Father Farley, has lent
the weight Of his office indirectly for
Archbishop Ireland. Pope Plus is ex-
tremely anxious to divorce the church
from politics and does not look with
favor upon the public activities of Ire
land and the priests Of his school, He
believes all their influence should be
thru the church and not in the least
thru politics. His grace, Father Farley,
altho a democrat, has never permitted
his staff to figure in any political con-
tentions and is regarded as success
fully discreet in all that he has done
in winning the favor Of all classes in
his diocese. -.
When Archbishop Farley is made
cardinal the Rt. Rev. Thomas r. Gu.
sack will be officially designated as bis
successor. "f

The apostles resting place was un-

pavement Of the crypt collapsed in
1894.
IF the rumor is correct, the explora.
tion is bound to be Of the highest his

desecration since the time Of Emperor

CHANCE FOR RATE
BILL IMPROVED
Conference Agreement Is Now
Said to Be Actually in
Sight.
Journal Special Service.

Chicago, June 16.-A Washington
special to the Tribune says:
Once more a conference agreement
on the railroad rate bill actually is in
sight.
Up to date the sleeping car people
have lost their battle and will be put
under the jurisdiction of the interstate
commerce commission unless the con-
ference reverses the decision arrived
at yesterday. The senate conferees
stood out for their amendment on the
theory that sleeping car companies
were absolutely the only instrument
talities of interstate commerce which
are not made amenable to the new law
and that it would be a difficult matter
to explain to the people why they were
thus favored.
On the pass amendment the confer
ferees have put the senate in a disa-
greeable position by pretending to
yield on this amendment. The result
would be that the senate pass amend
ment, with all it's incongruities and alb
surdities, would stay in the bill, altho
four-fft Of the senate are opposed to
it and want to see it eliminated.
A drastic pass amendment, reported
as compromise at the last conference
by the house conferees, has been with
drawn. The outlook is that the house
conferees will insist little bit against
the senate's pass amendment and the
senate conferees thereupon will with
draw it entirely, SO there will be no
reference in the new law to passes at
all, leaving the regulation of free
transportation exactly as it is at pres
ent under interstate commerce law.
All of the independent amendments
which the last conference inserted in
the bill without authority have gone
out, including the date on which the
act is to 60 into effect. The senate
amendment regarding the responsible.
ity of the initial carrier in cases of
damages in retained. The oil, coal and
| lumber amendments will be considered
| today. -
When the conferees separated last
night they pledged themselves in the
most solemn manner to give out moth.
| ing, particularly to let no one know
they were SO near an agreement In
order to make this appear to be the sit
| uation, all of the votes were declared
I'd be tentative and the final conference
tomorrow, therefore, will go over each
section in detail.
