on for several days, although many
who can. will linger during the golden

season ever for summer business in the

MITCHELL is OPTIMISTIC.
Hopes Operators Reply viii Perml
Further Negotiations.

New York, April 14.-President Nit
chell of the Miners union is busy pre-
pairing to close his headquarters here
and return to indianapolis. All the
members OF the general scale commit
tee have left for their homes In the
anthracite regions and will not be
called together until after the oper-
ators reply to the propositions sub
mitted to them by the miners.
In the face of pessimistic express
sions Of some of the members OF the
scale committee President Mitchell is
hopeful of a peaceful ending Of the
controversy with the operators. He
believes that the operators will make
an answer which will permit the con-
tinuance of the negotiations instead OF
abruptly ending them.
President Mitchell goes to Indianap-
oils to prepare for the meeting OF the
international executive board of the
miners union At this meeting the
proposition made last week by the
Ohio operators to arbitrate the dis
pute between the mine owners and
the striking miners in that state will
be considered

VOTE ON THE RATE BILL.
Indications Point to Action by Senate
Early in May.

Washington, April 14.--An early
agreement to conclude general debate
on the Hepburn rate bill and fix
time for taking the final vote now
seems probable. Mr.. Tillman renewed
his request that such an arrangement
be made and Senators Aldr!ch and
Foraker expressed the belief that this
can be done whenever the set speeches
are out of the way. The last OF these
is scheduled for next Tuesday, when
Mr.. La Toilette expects to speak. Al
lowing three or four days Of grace 1t
Is believed that the end OF next week
will see definite plan outlined for
ending the rate discussion.
Mr. Morgan served notice that he
will object to all suggestions which
do not include taking the bill up by
sections for amendment. Mr. Allison
had previously proposed this method
and it met with general assent. In
this way all the amendments would
be classified according to the section
they affect and could be voted upon
when debate on each closed.
1t is expected that week will be
allowed for amendments and probably
another week for general discussion,
bringing final vote early In May.

WAL EE TAKEN INTO COURT.
Fight for Control Of DoWieite Prop
erty at Zion City.

Chicago, April 14.-Unless confer
ences between attorneys representing
the warning interests in the Zion City
controversy reach some sort of an
agreement at conferences which are
to be held late in the day the matter
will be taken into the courts. 1t was
announced by the attorneys retained by
Dowie that they will probably file a
bill asking that the transfer of the
Zion City and Zion church properties
to Deacon Alexander Granger by Over
seer Voliva be set aside. The bill will
probably be filed in the courts of Lake
county at Waukegan and in the courts
here at the same time. The attorneys
for Voliva contend that the bill will
be denied for the reason that all the
property assigned by Voliva to Gran
ger was not the property of Dowie,
but was held by him as trustee. 1t is
also expected that application will be
made for the appointment OF a re-
ceiver pending the settlement of the
dispute as to the control of the prop
erty.

INDIANS HAVE UPPER HAND.
Refuse to Permit Sheep to Be Driven
Across Reservation.

StSfSSS nSSSt soN'St
Washington. April 14.-Senator Full
ton of Oregon discussed with the pres
ident during the day peculiar situa-
tion which has arisen in his state.
The sheep raisers of the state have
been in the habit of driving their
flocks, numbering in the aggregate
about 250,000 head, across the UNA
tilla Indian reservation from the win
ter rendezvous of the fiocks to the
summer ranges and back again in the
fall. This spring the Indians refused
to permit the stockmen to drive their
sheep across their reservation-a dis
tance of about fifteen miles-unlesS
the owners paid them 81 a head. AS
the sheep are worth about $1.50 each
the stockmen regarded the proposed
tax as rather heavy AS the Indians
have the law on their side and the
Indian police to enforce 1t there is
nothing for the stockmen to do but
drive their sheep entirely around the
reservation unless they can make
some reasonable arrangement with
the Indians through the government.
It was with a view to making such an
arrangement that Senator Fulton had
his talk with the president. The sub
ject will be considered further by the
president in connection with officials
of the interior department.

PRESIDENT URGES ADOPTION OF
SIMMONS AMENDMENT TO
RAILROAD RATE BILL.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE At WHITE HOUSE
SENATOR NELSON OF MINNESOTA
AMONG THOSE PARTicIPAT.
ING IN DISCUSSION.

Washington, April 14.-Railroad rate
legislation again was topic of impor-
tant discussion at the White House
during the day. The president talked
over the subject with Senator Nelson
of Minnesota, one of the staunch sup
porters of rate regulation, and later
discussed it with Senators Simmons
and Overman of North Carolina.
The president suggested to Senator
Nelson that in his Judgment it would
be wise to attach to the Hepburn bill
either the amendment offered by Sen
ator Simmons or that by Senator NAL
lory, both of which are designed to
prevent unusual delay in the consid-
Grafton of applications for temporary
injunctions. The proposed amend
ments provide that proceedings fer
preliminary injunctions must be begun
before the rate fixed by the commits
sion goes into effect. The complain
ant must begin proceedings within fif-
teen days after any given rate is fixed
by the commission and the notification
has been received Ten days then are
allowed for the taking of the testi-
mony and the return of papers. In
thirty-five days all the facts in the
case must be ready for submission to
the court on a motion for the tenn
porary injunction. Such an amend
ment, 1t is believed by the advocates
Of rate regulation, would insure
speedy determination of any given
case and would prevent the delays
which they fear. 1t is regarded as
likely that such an amendment may
be adopted.
Senator Morgan has offered an
amendment to the railroad rate bill
providing for the review by the fed
eral' courts of findings by the inter
state commerce commission.

for Few Months.
Washington, April 14.-Lieutenant
General Bates is about to be retired
and Major General Henry c. Corbin,
at present in command of the North
ern division. with headquarters at st.
Louis, will succeed to the rank OF
lieutenant general. He will serve In
that place only during the summer,
however, and will in turn be succeed
ed by Major General Macarthur, who
will probably be the last of the lieu
tenant generals, at least until there Is
another war.
General Corbin does not relieve
Lieutenant General Bates of his duties
of chief of staff, but these will be as
Bumed by Brigadier General J. Frank
lin Bell, who is already In Washing
ton. The promotion of General Corbin
will not leave any vacancy in the
grade of major general, as he stands
alone in a class as adjutant general OF
the army, title which dies with his
promotion.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATIVE HEARING
EVIDENCE SHOWING ABSOLUTE
CONTROL OF ELECTIONS BY
THOSE IN POWER.

Milwaukee, April 14.-The most
sensational feature Of the day in the
examination Of the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance company by the
special legislative investigating com.
mittee was the production Of docu-
mentary evidence tending to show
that Mrs. Henry l.. Palmer, wife OF
the president of the company, was a
frequent investor in loans on policies
of the Northwestern Mutual Life IT.
surance company and that on one or
these loans at least, negotiated In 1879
but which was still running in 1905,
she obtained an interest rate OF per
cent. During a portion of the time
Mrs. Palmer was obtaining this inter-
est rate policy loans were being made
by the company itself at an interest
rate of 9 per cent. President Palmer
admitted that no notification was sent
to policyholders who had loans from
private parties that the company was
making policy loans. but said he sup
posed the policyholders could have OBJ
tanned general knowledge OF that fact
An admission by President Palmer,
showing how firmly intrenched the
officers of the company were In the
control of elections, was to the effect
that all nominations for trustees made
by the agents association were passed
upon by the board of trustees before
the election.
Pass on Their Own Qualifications.
Trustees who were up for reelection
were present at the meetings where
their own qualifications were passed
upon. AS a matter of fact, however,
Mr.. Palmer declared, no nomination
OF the agents of trustee had even
been rejected.
The records of the company for the
election of 1904 were produced, SHOW
ing that q majority of the persons
who voted proxies were not policy
holders of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company and that thus
the rather strange situation was Gre
ated of non n.policyholders In the COM
Ddny ACTUALLY cICCtLub tiAS ohSSAS "A'"
controlled the company's business.
The records produced In regard to
the loan to a policyholder by Mrs.
Henry l.. Palmer showed that Mrs.
Palmer had printed notices to be sent
out as reminders Of the date OF the
interest payments on these loans. thus
giving the inference that the business
she has done In the line of loaning on
company policies has been sufficient
to warrant her having printed blanks
for the formal notices on the loans.
President Palmer did not like to
talk about these loans and when asked
II they were not for O very consider
able amount he said he did not know,
but that the whole facts could be OBJ
tanned II the committee would call the
proper witnesses.

a disappointment. It was expected
that the wool marketed in Dickinson
