 The Denver women believe they are entitled to be regarded as leaders or inc movement not only because of tneir present activity in the matter put ar SO because in this state the woman g. rights cause has taken deeper root than in almost any other.

Commonwealth ofMinnesota
Proceeds Against Duluth
Board of Trade. /.

The final action under Minnesota g
new antitrust law will come to trial
Monday, when the case Of the state Of
Minnesota against the Duluth Board Of
Trade, opens before Judge Debell in
the courts of the Zenith city. Edward
T. Young, attorney general, and Royal
A.. Stone, assistant, will conduct the
case for the state. The action lis
brought under the state antitrust law,
and will be the first case to be brought
and tried by the state under this law.
The board Of trade is charged with
being combination in restraint of
trade, in view Of the fact that it has
shut out the grain Of the Farmers
Exchange from sale on the board mar
ket, or from being handled by any of
the board members.
There are two important points at
issue. =
The first is the question of the va.
hdity Of the rules Of the Duluth Board
of Trade. fixing commissions and rates
of interest and prohibiting dealings of
, members with non-members who refuse
to be bound by the boards rules. Non.
members must be charged certain rule
rates, and even the rate of interest on
money is fixed. Between board mem.
bers, however, these rules and fixed
rates are not in effect.
The second point is the charge of a
conspiracy on the part of the Duluth
board to shut out the Farmers Elk
change from the Duluth market. -
Incidentally, the decision of the court
in this case, the trial of which will take
at least a week, may have "a very i'm
portant bearing on the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, in that if the
rules of the Duluth Board Of Trade rel
alive to dealings with non-members are
held to be violations of law, similar
Commerce may be likewise invalidated

Special to The Journal.
N REsCOTT, Wis, July A.-That
the arrest Of four moro Italians,
held responsible for the murder
of Constable Isaac, was made today is
directly due to the nerve and courage
OF Al Knippenberg of this place.
Early in the day Knippenberg, ac-
companied by the deputy game warden
of this county and by John Faxine, a
jeweler Of Prescott, and Frank Otto, a
logger, went to the farm Of Jack Green
at Smith IS Siding, seven miles south,
to beat up the woods in that vicinity.
When the men reached the place 1t
was suggested to Knippenberg that he
remain behind while the others searched
the woods. This was agreed to, and
soon after the others had departed ten
of the italian suspects approached the
farm and asked Green to row them
across the river.
The farmer said he had no boat, and
then the men pointed inquiringly to
the gasolene launch belonging to the
Prescott quartet.
When Knippenberg said: That boa.
is mine, you can It have IT," two OF
the men started for it, and Knippen.
berg raised his rifle and declared he
would shoot the first one to lay hands
upon 1t.
Six. of the Italians then started tx
run and Knippenberg fred upon them
One fell upon his knees and is believed
to have been wounded. However, he
was able to rise and soon disappeared
Four of the fugitives had scarcely
moved in the meantime and Knippen
berg, bringing his rife to- bear upo1
them, told them to stand where they
were. Faxine, Otto and the deputy
attracted by the shots, came hurryinl
back to the farm, and on the way raj
upon one Of the fugitives, all firing
their revolvers at him, but withou
effect. Knippenberg kept the four me,
in line until the arrival Of his compan
ions and then, while two ran the boat
the, other two, with loaded gun:
escorted the four suspects along tn
railroad track to Prescott.
Dominick Masselh, upon whom tn
murdered officer was attempting t
! serve warrant, was brought this afte,
noon before Justice William Staff 70

laws Of the state, pleaded guilty an

ton of sentence. -.s.-.r o.

company the officer and there are wit
nesses to the fact that he took no par
in the assault on the officer. -

RICHES FOR STATE
IN DRAINAGE PLAN
Opportunity Is Presented to
Make Waste Land High
~ Productive.
Special to The Journal

Washington, July l4.-The reclama-
ton service has some good things in
store for Minnesota, It is going
to adopt the idea Of the Steener-
son bill, which seeks to employ
money derived &, from a. the sale of
government lands in ,, Minnesota to
It is desirable, however, that what
ever is undertaken in this way shall
be done Systematically. The govern
-ment has provided for. Typographical
survey of the Red Lake reservation
and the engineers are already. on the
ground preparing for that work. Fiji
teen thousand dollars have been ap.
propriated by congress for this survey
with view to draining the reserva.
vation lands. ,.,... >1.s-
1t is apparent, however, that the
work of draining the reservation can.
not be as successfully accomplished
if it is confined to the: reservation
alone as it would be if it were carried
out as part of a general scheme fol
the drainage of all lands capable of
being effectually drained in that part
of the state. So it is proposed by the
reclamation service that the state of
Minnesota appropriate an additional
$l5 900, which, it is estimated, will be
sufficient to extend the work of the
government surveyors over the state
lands and other lands which it is de-
sired to drain. The government en-
gineers will then lay out general ani
practical scheme for the whole under
taking and have the data ready fol
