BERNHARDT
SUED FOR
$4,000

Boston Jan 30.--Sarah Bernhardt has
been sued I'm the sum OF $50. 900 in an ac-
tion OF contract brought by Edward Kin
sila. London solicitor. through his at
torneys, Moran and Feeney Of this city.
The service Of the writ was the one large
ny in the ointment OF the Divine
sarah's" enthusiastic season IN Boston,
coming. as 1t did at the conclusion OF the
engagement at the Boston theatre.
There was no controversy over the
matter. however nor any effort to make
things unnecessarily disagreeable. T. j.
Barry was given power OF attorney to
accept service for Mime. Bernhardt. and
a satisfactory bond was offered.
Mr.. Kinsila claims that he Is entitled
TO commission for getting Nine, Bern
hardt her present American engagement
with Shubert~ Bros. and this commission
he estimates at the usual per cent OF
the 5000 per week guaranteed salary. plus
the additional 80 per cent Of the net re-
ceipts. These net receipts have been es-
tImated at $4,000 per week.
The story was told that Nine. Bern
hard slipped out OF town 10 avoid tho
service OF the writ but this does not
seem TO accord with the facts in the
case.
Mr. Knsila claims that the contract
was made I'm Paris, and that n certain
Nine Berton acted as Interpreter on that
occasion. AS he could not get an ac-
counting for what he deemed due him
I'm the matter. he came 20 this country
and placed the case in the hands Of Fee
ney e. Moran last week.
They were prepared TO compel service
and issue attachments, but We're not
forced TO go 10 extremes a conference
with Manager Mayer resulted In the nom
ination OF Mr.. Barry as attorney and
the giving Of a bond. and the matter will
come before the courts here next month.

itinerary has been mapped out for her,

specting the filing of tariffs, the CON-
missioner invited suggestions in writ
Ing from all interested parties. In
addition it appointed today for an oral
hearing on the subject.
During the early hours of the day,
the carriers held a meeting at which
they appointed committee to present
their ideas to the commission. This
committee reflected the views of the
carriers in different parts of the coun-
try. The representatives of the car
riers occupied the greater part of the
afternoon in presenting their views
to the commission. 1t was evident
from the statements submitted that
the carriers were experiencing diff
Guilty in preparing their tariffs and
especially in arranging for the uni
fOrmity which is required. They in
dicated. however, their desire to do
the best they could.
The commission has informed the
carriers that after sufficient time has
been allowed for revision of the tar
IFS, mo schedule will be filed by the
commission which Is not constructed
in conformity with the requirements
of the statute and the rules prescribed
by the commission and which does not
so state the rates contained that they
can be understood by person of ordi-
nary intelligence.

RAIL WAYS FILE TARIFFS
WITH THE COMMISSION

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1O.-A hear
ing was given by the Interstate Com
merce commission to representatives
of the railroads of the country on the
subject of the preparation and filing
with the commission of tariffs. 1t is
subject of considerable importance
to the railroads although it is about
practically technical. About 100 of
the tariff officials of the important
lines Of the country attended the hear
ing.
Tentatively, the commission had de-
cided to issue an order specifying the
requirements that would be made with
respect to the filing of tariffs. Some
of the requirements are that joint
tariffs shall be filed by the initial line;
that the schedule of each initial line
shall be printed as an independent
document; participating lines may
file with the commission a general au-
thorlty for any initial line to file on
their behalf all tariffs; class rates
shall be filed in tariff by themselves;
in the compilation of tariffs uniform
order shall be observed. and terminal
charges which must be paid by all
shippers at destination and which are,
therefore really part of the cost of
transportation, must be specified In
the tariff of the initial line.

Special to The Evening Times.


Minot, N. D., Oct. 1O.-Was Tony
Lackowski, whose body was found in

his death caused by persons unknown?
This Is the question which Coroner

do not believe this story. They say
that the boys body was found near
the shore and that he could swim.
Furthermore they assert that there
are marks and bruises on the boys
face and head which indicate that he
was either shot or dubbed.
The parents claim they have un-
earthed evidence showing that there
were three or four men hunting in the
vicinity of the slough, which is on the
boys farm. Nearby is sign. do not

OF the parents is that the boy warned

home of the parents to secure more
information regarding their side of
the story.

In Connection With Death

Associated Prens to The Evening Tlmea.
Fargo, N. D., Oct. 10.-Firmly con-
vinced that her husband was foully
murdered and that he did not commit
suicide as reported, Mrs. ]. ]. Merry
arrived home from Jas, ,.estown yes
terday.
The facts, as stated by Mrs. Merry,
tend to confirm this murder theory
and the many friends of Mr.. Merry
here are waiting with no little con-
cern the result of an investigation
which is now being carried on.
According to information received
by Mrs. Merry, her husband had not
been drinking, as it had been hinted.
The brakeman Of the train on which
Mr.. Merry went to Medina is positive
that Mr.. Merry had not been drinking
and the coroner, after a careful ex-
animation of the body, is equally posi-
tive that Mr.. Merry had not tasted
liquor within short time before he
was killed.
The body was found propped up in
bed with pillows, in a position
which Mr.. Merry had long been ac-
customed to lie in bed and read be-
fore going to sleep. The door of the
room was found securely locked but a
mcst thorough search of the room
failed to result in the key to the door
being found.
The revolver, with which Mr.. Merry
was supposed to have taken his life,
was an old style affair and too large
to have been carried around by him.
When last seen alive Mr.. Merry had
on his person a gold watch, diamond
ring and a sum of money, believed to
have been about SIS. When his life
less body was found, in his pockets
were found six copper cent pieces. A
thorough search failed to result in the
finding of any trace of the watch or
the diamond ring.

bushels in the Minneapolis & Northern

fective shafting.
The losses are partially covered by
insurance.
A long string of cars on the tracks
facing the burning structures would
have been destroyed but for the timely
arrival of an engine which was sent
for to Lakota. AS it was. three or four
cars were destroyed.
