DEMAND FAIR DEAL 4
In PASSENGER RATES

Missouri tactics will be used by the
Minneapolis and st. Paul Commercial
clubs at the Western Passenger associa-
ton meeting in Minneapolis tomorrow.
The clubs will ask to be shown, the rea-
sons for discrimination against north
western summer resorts and in favor of
Colorado why the association is not at
least granting as low rates as were
given the northwest last year, and sew
eral other things.
Wallace G. Nye, secretary of the pub
lie affairs committee of the Minneapo-,
his Commercial club, and c.. P. Stine,=
secretary of the st. Paul Commercial
club, will represent the two organiza-
tions, aud they may be reinforced by
representatives of the jobbers' organi-

|. Altho the two cities are to have very
low rates for one or two national meet

| sons who cannot travel to, the north
west within the limits prescribed by
such tickets. The local merchants also
expected to profit because Of the stop
! overs allowed in the two cities for
| tourists, on their way to- northwestern
summer resorts on their return. But if
the travel is to be forced toward Colo
RADIO by the Western Passenger asso-
citation, this will also be cut off.
Should the association refuse to re-
scind their former action, by lowering
the rates to last years standard. indi-
vidual action will undoubtedly be
taken by some of the roads. which have
no western lines. In that case the sit
uation may become involved and a rate
war may result.

MINNEAPOLIS BEHIND
In HELPING POLICE

Police Superintendent Doyle returned
today from Hot Springs, Ark, where
he attended the annual meeting of the
international association Of chiefs of
police. He said that the convention
was unusually well attended and was
helpful to those who were able to. be
there.
The main thing impressed on him at
the convention was the equipment and
money furnished to departments Of
other cities. He said that from all he
could learn other city departments had
a fund for emergency expenses and
that when there were any expenses con-
nected with a case the officers were not
compelled to give up the search in o
few days because of lack Of funds.
They always have plenty of money for
rewards and for general expenses and
the salaries as rule are better than
in Minneapolis. at takes money to
go to the bottom of case," says SUI

For the first time in many years the
gambling houses in Hot Springs were

I they thought it was in their honor, but
they soon learned that there was polit.

probably be some time before the dens

hospital, and John Robur is at the city

ing to save his sight. He was kicked
and pounded to insensibility.
The cause Of the ARRAY is mystery
and, altho six men were taken to police
headquarters and examined today, they
would say nothing that would help the
police. They said they were attacked
and fought in self-defense, but that
was ALL.
Hreebuy, Johnawatt and Robur re-
turned from the. woods last Thursday
for liquor. When they were properly
fortified and courageous, they started
trouble with their neighbors, the police
say, and there were several fights be-
fore the grand finish last evening. The

1t is believed a tragedy was nar-

yesterday she told her grocer that she
had planned to kill her four children
and burn her house. This was com.
municated to the Humane society, and
Mr.. Van Etten went to investigate. :
Before he reached the house he heard
blood-curdling cries and rushed to the
scene Of action just in time to find the
mother chasing the children about the
house. The terrified little ones had
been able to keep out of her way, but
could not haze done SO much longer.
Mr.. Van Etten forcibly took the woman
in hand and after considerable effort
succeeded in quieting her. She is now

Weather Conditions.

There were rains yesterday in New
England, New York, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, following the storm which
has been slowly crossing the country
since the 10th. A high pressure area
overlies the central valley region, ac-
eompanied by clear weather this morn
ing in nearly all of the United States,
the exceptions being on the north and
south Pacific coast, in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas and Tennessee. Rain was fall
ing this morning at Portland, Ore. The
pressure is moderately low over north
ern Alberta, causing higher tempera-
lures in northern Michigan, Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Montana and most of the
Canadian northwest; as this low pres
sure area moves eastward, the tempera-
lures will lrise in this vicinity tonight,
but it is not expected that it will bring
precipitation tonight or Tuesday.
