SEEKING TO GUST
RECEIVER BAIRD
.-t,- ,.s..
Faribault Men Would Have Lower
salaried Man Close Up
r. -: Bank Affairs. s...
BY w. w. Jermane.

.
Washington, Feb. 20.-William
Kaiser, postmaster at Faribault, is in
/, Washington as representative of the
creditors of the First National bank
of Faribault.
He will lay before the controller of
the currency a proposition for the re-
duction Of the expense Of winding up
affairs by discharging Receiver Baird
and his clerk, and appointing man to
take charge Of, the bank at an expense
of about $1,000 year. Baird's salary
as receiver has not been made public
but it is believed to be $1,000, and his
clerk is drawing $1,000.
Mr.. Kaiser says that further hquida-
tion Of the assets will be slow and it
will probably take stwo years to dispose
of the. bank IS affairs The creditors
have been paid 40 per cent of their
claims, and it is believed that careful
management will net another 25 per
cent, or about $140,O00.
When the bank was closed it was
said that the creditors would get about
20 per cent Of their claims, but the
directors have paid 100000, and the
assets have yielded larger returns than
! it was supposed they WOULD, which made
possible the payment of a larger per
cenage. to creditors.

OAK PARK SITE NOW
FAVORED FOR PRISON


Special to The Journal. ..a
Saltwater, Mimi, Feb 2O.-It is now
thought probable that the state board
Of control will postpone further action
on a selection Of the site Of the pro
posed new prison until the next legis-
lature meets, on account Of the appro-
priation being too small to meet the
prices asked by owners of the sites
offered. jas H..
The fight has now narrowed down to
the Atwood and Brown sites, the latter
at Oak Park. The property owners
however, are demanding too high q
price for the right of way to connect
the railroad tracks, and the board finds
at useless to consider that site unless
better terms are offered.
Is Citizens Of Saltwater will make an
effort to induce the Oak Park property
owners to make their demands more
moderate, with the hope that the Site
there will be accepted.

RATE BILL FLAW
SEEN BY MELLEN
Railroad President and Tim"
Byrnes at White House to
See Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb. 20.-President
Roosevelt has had an important confer
ence on the rate question with Charles
5. Mellen, president Of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford. and T. 81.
Byrnes, the confidential assistant of
Mr.. Mellen. AS he was leaving the
White House Mr.. Menen said: I
TO my mind there can be no doubt
that the people of the country are
back of Mr.. Roosevelt in his demand
that railroad rate legislation which
means something should be enacted.
Personally [ am inclined to the opinion
that the pending Hepburn bill is not
Just what ought, to be enacted in law.
In principle, perhaps, it is very well,
but [ am satisfied that an OK team
could be driven thru it at several
PLACES.
this rate question all along has been
that the railroads themselves have not
been in agreement. It would be mani
testify unfair to enact legislation that
would afford to certain small and in
pecunious lines what would amount to
a great advantage over the larger lines.
| For instance. it would not be Just for a
line which might tap the Pennsylvania
lines just outside of Philadelphia to OBJ
! tain all the exchange rate advantages
afforded by the enormously valuable
terminal facilities Of the Pennsylvania
in Philadelphia, and yet that is just
the advantage given such a line by the
| Hepburn bill.
"Now, am satisfied that to confer
| such an advantage was not the idea
of the trainers Of the bill, and, it ought
not to be the idea of the trainers of
! the legislation which finally is to be
crrystalllized into law. The enforcement
| of such a provision would be unjust to
those who, by their energy, ability and
capital had acquired great and valuable
terminal facilities for their lines.
" A law which viii meet the demands
and the rights of the people and at the
same time be entirely Just and equitable
| to the carriers can be framed, and I
am satisfied that it will be SO drawn.
The law may be drastic so far as the
railroads are concerned, but if framed
with regard to these suggestions it
would be fair to all Such a measure
would meet all the requirements Of the
situation, and to it the railroads and
the people properly could adjust them
selves.

Gussie Hart Killed in New York
Street; Nan Patterson, Case
Recalled.

81 New York, Feb 20.-A murder mys-
terry with some features not unlike that
of the famous Patterson case of two
years ago, is engaging the attention OF
the police today. As in the crime which
cost Cesar Young his life and Nan Pat
terson, an actress, more than a year OF
her liberty, cab and a woman of the
stage are the principal features in the
mystery of today. -y.
The woman, Gussie Hart, was the VIC
tim, and the carriage, according to the
theory of the police, was the scene OF
her death. Several persons who are
thought to know something of the man
ner in which the woman was killed,
have disappeared.
The first intimation that crime had
been committed came to the police when
a physician notified them that he had
been called to the house at POI West
Thirty eighth street to attend woman
and found her dead. Her skull had
been fractured. e..
Cab Took Her Home.
Miss Hart had been appearing in
"The Child Wife, at theater in this
city and had theatrical engagements
here until May next The police were
unable to learn where she was from
the time she left the theater last night
until several hours later, when cab
stopped before the house where she
roomed in West irtyeighth street.
Then they say two men took her
from the cab and carried her into the
house, and a few minutes later the
physician was called. He was told that
woman was i'll. When he REACHED
the room he found two women and three
men at the bedside. Miss Hart was
dead.
When a coroner, who was notified at
once, reached the room, none of the
watchers remained. The body OF the
woman, with the head terribly bat
tered, was lying undisturbed on. the
bed, and the walls along the stairway
smeared with blood The police are
now searching for the cab and for the
two men who carried the woman S body
to her room.
Companion Arrested.
Later the police arrested Edward
Murphy, dancing master. who said
that he was with Gussie Hart last night
and that he called the doctor: Muir
ply said that he went with Miss Hart
and another actress about midnight
last night, to the Little Savoy, cafe
and saloon at 269 West Thirty fifth
street. They remained there drinking
some time, he said, Miss Hart taking
only soft drinks. She was the first one
to propose leaving the place and as she
was leaving, Murphy said, she fell
down flight Of twenty steps. She was
unconscious when he reached her. AS
sisted by walters he carried Miss Hart
to a cab and took her to her room.
Looking for an Actress.
The police detained as witnesses a
. negro waiter at the Little Savoy ant
boarder at the house in West Thirty
: eighth street, where Miss Hart lived
/; who is said to have seen her brought
home. The police are also looking fol
