did ROOSEVELT
help MORMONS
THAT'S THE CHARGE MADE BY
DUBOIS.
He Is Sore Over the Fact That the
President Sent Taft Into Idaho Dur
ing the Recent campaisn-charses
in the Senate.

Washington, Dec. 13. - President
Roosevelt was directly charged in the
senate today with using his influence
for the election of the republican Nor
mon candidates in the recent election
in Idaho and Utah.
The charge was made by Senator
Dubois in the course of a speech in
which he discussed the right of Reed
Smoot to a seat in the senate.
The first portion of the address was
devoted to review Of the Mormon
church.
Turning his attention to the cam
paign preceding the recent election,
Dubois read the press dispatches of
Oct. 20, which stated that the presi-
dent had sent Secretary Taft into Id
aho to speak in the advocacy of law
and order.
At that time Dubois said he tele-
graphed President Roosevelt that the
only issue in Idaho was the desire of
the Mormon hierarchy to continue to
dominate the politics of the state, and
that the president had been misled if
he thought there was any other issue.

ROOSEVELT ON
CAR SHORTAGE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT MAY
HELP IN THE FIGHT.
There Are Rumors That He Will Send
a Special Message to Congress on
the Subiect-He Has Received Many
Letters.

Washington, Dec. 13.--It is announce
ed today on apparently reliable au-
thority that President Roosevelt is SER
iously considering sending a special
message to congress on the question
of car shortage The matter has been
pressed upon him in almost a bushel
of letters and kilograms from all pacts
of the country, and he has become
| convinced that the situation is very
perilous to many helpless shippers and
owners Of farm products.
The chief sufferers thus far seem to
be spring wheat farmers of the north
west, and cattle shippers. The presi-
den is said to hold that there is need
for prompt relief and he is now inqtir-
ing to satisfy himself If the interstate
commerce commission has as much aliT
thority under the new rate law an 1t
ought to have to prevent recurrence
Of the present trouble. The presidents
plan, as he will outline 1t il he sends
special message. will advise an in
crease of the interstate commerce
commissions power to permit 1t to
regulate the distribution of cars and
to enforce penalties against roads de-
tanning cars of other systems beyond
a reasonable time
Judge s. III. Cowen of Texas, who
took prominent part in helping frame
the rate legislation of the last session,
has already drawn up a bill giving the
commission such Jurisdiction and has
submitted 1t to the president.

Presbyterian Manse.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 13-The Pres
byterians of this city are to erect a
new parsonage and very marked inn
provements are to be made in connec-
tion with the church.
Plans which have been under con-
temptation for some time are now
nearing fruition, and an extensive adj
dition is to be made to the church in
the spring. These Improvements will
consist of an addition large enough to
comfortably accommodate the Sunday
school which has been increasing rap
idly, a hall in which church socials
may be held and basement to be
used for kitchen. In addition to this
new parsonage will be erected,
which has been in view for some time
but is now assured.
The church committee having in
charge the selection of minister to
fill the place of the late Rev. j. w.
Campbell has the matter well in hand
and an important announcement is
looked for at any time.

SIMPLIFIED WAS

HARD RAP FOR TEDDY BY CON-
GREss.
House Goes on Record as Opposing the
Payment for the Publication of Any
Public Documents Containing the
Freak Spelling.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The house of
representatives went on record in OPP
position to the new spelling as recon-
mended by the president. BY vote of
142 to rs the following was adopted:
No money appropriated in this act
shall be used in connection with print
ing documents authorized by law or
ordered by congress or either braAch
thereof unless the same shall conform
to the photography recognized and used
by the generally accepted dictionaries
OF the English language"
For hours the debate on simplifled
spelling held the house and a score or
more took part In the discussion.
Representative Crumpacler of Indiana
made a point OF order against the orr
iginal paragraph in the bill which pro-
vided that public documents should be
spelled as Webster's or other general
ly accepted dictionaries spell them.
This provision was held to change the
existing law and the point of order
was sustained. Representative Bing-
ham Of Pennsylvania, in charge of the
BILL then offered the amendment,
which was adopted.

GREAT NORTHERN
WAS TOO HASTY
THE COMPANY DIDN'T GIVE DUE
NOTICE.
The Attorney General of Minnesota
Says the Recent Bond Issue Was Not
Legal Because of Non Compliance
With Charter Regulations.

St Paul, Dec 13.-The attorney gen.
eral of Minnesota today ruled that the
proposed increase of capital stock of
the Great Northern railway, announced
from New York, was contrary to the
Minnesota law under which the
Great Northern held its charter. He
said that before the railroad in Min
nesota could increase its capital stock
1t must give notice to the state railway
and warehouse commission for public
hearing on the necessity for the issue.
This had not been done last spring
when an increase was made and had
not been done at the present time and
both would now have to be explained.
Action by the state is expected when
the issue of stock is formally made.

Instead to the horror of the people
in the saloon he unbuttoned his coat
and vest and pressing the point of the
knife to his abdomen, threw himself
heavily to the floor, SO that the big
blade ripped his body.
Before any of the men close by
could spring on him and wrest the
knife away, he had thrust the weapon
twice more into the frightful wound.
Duvall did not lose consciousness
and when asked why he had done such
thing, replied:
"Oh, Pm a criminal, that's all.''

British Army Promotion.

London, Dec. 49,. The Army Navy
Gazette, the official organ of both
branches of the service, today an
nounces a radical change in the sys-
tenn of promotion in the army. Up to
the present, promotion by seniority
was the rule, but commencing on the
first of the new year promotions by
selection will take place. A COM
mission was recently appointed to in
vestigate this subject and their report,
just issued, favors the change. The
report unreservedly recommends the
abolition of autocratic promotion from
lieutenant colonelcies and the substi-
tuition OF promotion on the recommen-
dation Of selection board.
