Deny PROBE
SAY THREE ROADS ARE ENTIRE
LX SEPARATE.
Officials of Hills Three Roads Say
There Will Be No investigation =
Hill Has Given Away Money to De-
veIop the Country.

Chicago Nov 23.-Flat denial las
been made of the story tnar the inter-
state commerce commission is going to
investigate the relations OF the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur
lington systems.
Officials Of the latter road said that
the article was untrue and referred
to the action Of the supreme court
following the proceedings instituted by
e. HI. Hartman, subsequent to the
Northern Securities case in 1904
1t was shown to the satisfaction of
the officers of the government that the
Northern Securities Co. did as they
were requested in the findings of the
supreme court.
Il don't know" said an official,
what they mean when they say the
three roads have relation. They are
separate and have no relation at all.
What power could one man have, or a
half dozen, when rates are controlled
by conditions and the Interstate COM
merce commission? One man cannot
stop the growth of the northwest or
have much influence. II one man did
have considerable power, / am sure
1t would be to his interest to develop
the country. If anybody is at sea as
to the effect the Northern Securi-
ties proceedings had on the railroads
of the northwest, all he has to do is
to investigate and he will find that
there has been an increase Of business
and declining of rates ever since the
supreme court decision of 1904.
After the decision, the Northern
Securities Co. surrendered it's interests
and stock in the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads and has had
nothing to do with them since If the
railroads do anything in violation Of
the laws, the president can expose
them. The statement that the three
roads expected to combine Is false, as
such thing has never been contem-
plated There are no relations among
the three roads. except that of COM
mon carriers and competing lines.
1T Is well known fact that Mr.. Hill
has always been in favor of develop
ing the northwest, even at his own ex-
pense, and 1t is also known that to
benefit lumbermen of the extreme
northwest, who had to pay a greater
rate than their competitors, who were
nearer the market, he has given them
a lower rate than they expected"

CAN'T CHECK ARTEslAN FLOW.
Part Of Sheldon, N. D., Is Flooded and
Cellars Filled.

Sheldon, n. ID, Nov 23.Sheldon is
experiencing trouble with its famous
artesian well and as result of the
inability of the well-drillers to stop
the heavy flow that comes up outside
the casing, the north part OF the town
is being flooded and many cellars are
filled with water.
The well il considered the best In
the state, gushing forth 600 gallons a
minute Of clear cold water that is al
most entirely free from the salty taste
SO prevalent in artesian water.
The company Is making every eff
fort to check the flow. In case of It's
failure to do SO. 1t will be necessary
to destroy the well with dynamite and
sink q new one north of the town,
where there Is a natural drain.

OPENS Fight
upon MOODY
NEW YORK SUN SEEKS TO
BLOCK HIS ADVANCE.
Effort Started to Prevent the Con-
firnnation of the Appointment of the
Attorney General to the Supreme
Bench-A Yelled Attack.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The first in
fdication OF an attempt to buile up a
case for the defeat of Attorney Cen
eral Moody's confirmation as a JUS
tice of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States appeared in the Morgan or
gan, the New York Sun, and it's allies
throughout the country last Satur-
day. 1t was in the form of column
article prepared with evident care and
bearing traces of the deft touch of a
skilled lawyer. It's undoubted pur-
pose was to give such members of the
; United States senate as may be hos
, tile to Mr.. Roosevelt and his gospel
of the square deal ground upon which
to stand in opposing the confirmation
of Mr. Moody.
The ingenious sophister who pre-
pared it erects set of circumstances
to suit himself, and standing thereon,
he demonstrates to the satisfaction of
all who are willing to accept his point
of view that it would be a crushing
blow to the country to have Mr..
Moody take a seat upon the supreme
bench at this time. He cites a west
ern irrigation case in which the Unit
ed States intervened, the legacy tax
case, the Cramp shipbuilding case, the
sugar trust case, the Kansas land
case, the John f. Gaynor bond case,
the case of alleged contempt of the
supreme court coming from the Chat
tanooga district, the case involving
the ownership of the Isle of Pines, the
Cuban customs case, the Standard Oil
cases, the many rebate cases, the Fer
tilizer trust cases, the land fraud
cases and others. These cases, he
says, viii all be before the supreme
court presently, some Of them being
there already and only waiting for a
hearing until Justice Browns seat is
filed in order that they may be sub
mitted before full bench. But At
torney General Moody, he holds, cam
not participate in hearing them be-
cause he has been the head of the de-
partment of justice, and therefore act
lively interested in them.

MlTTEE's APPRc, q
His Two Suggestions Were fore m
oress to Favor Arbitration Before
War and to Oppose Private Mon
opoIies-Last Day of Congress.

Kansas City, Nov. 23.-The resolu-
tions committee Of the Trans Missis-
sippi Commercial congress in session
today voted down the two resolutions
submitted to the congress last night by
William ]. BRYAN. The first of these
resolutions favored the endorsement
by the congress of the resolution adopt
ed by the Inter-p -parliamentary union
at the London session in favor of the
settling of International questions inn
partially by count or the commission
of the investigation before the decla-.
ration of war or opening of hostilities
by any country
The second resolution sought to
place the congress on record as being
opposed to private monopolies and be-
lieving them "indefensible and intol-
erable," favors the enforcement of ex-
listing laws and the enactment of such
new laws as may be necessary to pro-
tect the industries from the menace
offered by the trusts.
The report of the resolutions COM
mittee, as submitted to the congnress
this afternoon, among other things
recommends the following: We also
favor the Improvement and the devel-
opment of the principal rivers of the
Trans Mississippi region SO that such
natural channels OF trade as the Mis-
souri,, the Arkansas, the Red, the CO.
lumbia, the San JoQuin, the Trinity,
the Brazos and other great rivers may
be made adequate and economical
channels of transportation for prod
ucts of the people,
These objects are of such vast and
far reaching import to all people we
represent, that we earnestly urge upon
the congress of the United States ear
ly and favorable consideration of these
vital questions to the end that the
Trans Mississippi country may be pre-
pared to reap full benefits that may
come to us in the new commercial era
to be ushered in by the opening Of the
Panama canal.
