Washington, D. c., May 12.-
The senate committee on the
er-oceanic canal is deadlocked
on the problem of the type to he
recommended.
The question was taken up tc-
day, the vote showing FIVE for
sea-level canal and five for the
lock type.
There were two absentees,
Senator's German and Carmack.
The latter telegraphed from Ten
nessee instructing the chairman
to count his vote for the sea-level
type, which would make a major
lty against the lock canal desired
by the administration.
After Wrangling for an hour
over the question of accepting
the vote of Senator Carmack, the
committee adjourned until We'd

Northwestern Life.
Milwaukee, May 12.-Vice President
George c. Markham of the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance company
continued his testimony at the open
Ing session of the day before the spe-
cial legislative insurance investigating
committee The first questions dealt
with the profession of certain individ-
uals who received fees for protecting
the interests OF the company against
alleged obnoxious legislation. Mr.
Markham was unable to state whether
or not Ole Olson of Oshkosh, who re-
ceived several hundred dollars for
such services. was lawyer or not.
Neither could he tell what services
were performed by Brown & Wheeler,
attorneys OF Illinois, who received ST.
300 for services before the Illinois leg
islature in 1901. Mr. Markham de-
clared emphatically that his company
had never Joined other companies in a
joint fight against legislative bills.
It developed that ]. B. Mcclure, the
general agent for the company in
Southern Illinois, received approxi-
mately $1,000 for looking after legis-
lative matters in Illinois during one
year and $1,000 for another.
During MI. Markhams testimony it
developed that the company had at
one time paid fine and costs of
$1,049 for an agent charged with re-
batting in Illinois. The witness said
that an Investigation by the agency
department showed that the agent was
innocent and that job had been put
up on him to make him trouble.

Nj. Heinzleman BlOckades
Mississippi River Near
SOlWay.
Will Not Allow Hatcher Lum.
Der Company to Drive
Its Logs.
Warrant for Arrest Charges
Assault on the Drive
Foreman.

The story Of a man who would
rival Desperate Dietz Of Thorn
apple Dam, Wis, fame, and pre-
vent a lumber company from
using the Mississippi river,
comes from Solway, Beltrami
county.
M. Heinzleman is the mans S
name, and he owns piece of
land a number Of miles south of
the village mentioned and border
ing on the river. He has thrown
dam across the Father Of Waters
near his farm and at the point of
gun refuses to let the Fl. T..
Hatcher Lumber company drive
it's logs past the obstruction.
A warrant for his arrest has
been issued by a justice of the
peace at Solway and unless the
settler should develop some Of
the characteristics of the famous
Dietz, who for so long held the
Wisconsin authorities at bay, his
game will be short lived.
An assault on the person of
George Schunberger, foreman OF
the driving crew, is the technical
charge lodged against Heinzlc-
man.
1t seems that he has a uarI ell
of long standing with the lum Der
company and finding expostula-
tion in vain, he finally decided to
take the law, or what he thinks
is the law, into his own hands.
With q few helpers he hastily
constructed a dam across the
Mississippi and sent forth an
edict that no logs should pass.
The lumber company was not
to be bluffed, however, and sent
Schunberger and crew to drive
the logs, willy nilly.
When they reached the dam
there stood the settler with a
loaded rifle.
"The first man who tries to
move those logs gets shot," de-
clared Ieinz!cman, and a glitter
in his eye showed that he was in
dead earnest.
"You wouldn't dare shoot, -
answered the foreman.
"Try it and see. I'll shoot the
first man who makes q hostile

VOTE ON AMENDMENTS.
SENATE DlsPosEs OF A NUMBER
OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO
THE RATE BILL.
La TOILETTE MOTION TURNED DOWN
ATTEMPTS TO SECURE MoDlFlcA.
TIoN OF. ONE OF coMPRo.
MISE SECTIONS.

Washington, May 12-Considera-
ton of the railroad rate bill was re-
sumed in the senate during the day.
Senator Allison presented the first Of
his compromise amendments striking
out the words fairly remtnerative'
from the fourth section of the bill as
descriptive Of the rates which the in
terstate commerce commission may
prescribe. The amendment was adopt
ed without debate or division.
Senator La Toilette made objection
to the second amendment limiting to
two years the continuance of the COM
missions orders. He moved TO strike
out the limitation and spoke in sup
port of his motion, saying he could see
no reason for the provision. In re-
sponse to this objection Senator Knox
said that the interstate commerce
commission had recommended linn
itation to one year because OF the rap
idly changing situation in this coun-
try. But the Wisconsin senator was
not convinced and he proceeded by
declaring his conviction to be that If
the provision is to stand the public
would receive little benefit.
Mr.. La Follette's motion was voted
down and the Allison amendment was
then adopted. .a. ~. --...
After two of the Allison amend
ments to the rate bill had been adopt
ed Senator Bailey presented his
amendment prohibiting inferior Unit
porary injunctions against the orders
IF the Interstate commission.
Bailey Amendment Laid to Rest.
On roll call the Bailey amend
ment was lost, % to "a, the yeas in
Guiding twenty-five Democrats and
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Senator CulbersOn presented all
amendment requiring that injunctions
should not be granted without hear
ings and also imposing other condi-
tions. The provision was opposed by
Senator Carter, not because OF its re-
Quirement for hearings but because 1t
covers so many other subjects which
had not received consideration. The
closer we remain to the original text
of the bill the more certain we are to
secure logical legislation" he said.
The amendment was voted down, 20
to so, strict party vote, except that
Senator La Toilette voted in the att1r-
native with the Democrats.
Senator Bacon offered an amend
ment requiring hearings on injunction
proceedings and requiring also the
presence of two judges, one of whom
shall be circuit court judge, at such
| proceedings. The amendment was re-
| jected, "a to 81. a.
Senator Tillman offered an amend
| ment prepared by the interstate COM
| merce commission, extending the au-
| thority OF the commission over joint
rates and through rates partly by
| rail and partly by water" The amend
| ment was voted down, but when sub
sequently offered in modified form by
| Senator Lodge was adopted.

HIDDEN MANY YEARS AGO.
Farmers Find $140 in Gold While Cut
s ting Wood. -

-a.
St. Peter, Minn., May 12.-Seven
$40 gold pieces which had been out of
circulation for nearly half century
have been recovered by John and
Charles Huber, two Lexington town
ship farmers. The money was found
in large white ash log on the farm
OF Martin Millet, the Hubers coming
across it while they were splitting
cordwood. ........
AS they were splitting a slab from
the log they noticed peculiar open
ing which aroused their curiosity and
prompted them to make an investiga-
tion. Cutting down a few inches deens
er they found coin imbedded in the
wood and when it was released out
dropped $40 in gold All appearances
went to show that hole had been
bored in the tree trunk and plugged
after the money had been placed in
side the opening.
The latest date on the gold pieces is
1854 and it is supposed that they were
secreted by some settler who was
frightened out of the country during
the Sioux Indian uprising of 1862.
