NEW RATE LAW IN FORCE.
Interstate Commerce Commission
k>pIds Initial Hearing.

kssIds Initial Hearing.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Four men,
bers Of the Interstate commerce COM
mission, Chairman Knapp and Com
missioners Clements, Cockrell and
Lane, were present during the day at
the initial hearing under the new rail-
road freight rate law. The law re-
GENTLY enacted by congress became ef-
fective during the day. Under its
terms the carriers of the country were
expected to be prepared to meet its
requirements and to comply so far as
possible with it's essential provisions.
Already, in partial compliance with
the law tons of tariff rate schedules
have been filed with the commission
by the various railroads and common
carrier lines of the country and addi-
tional tariffs are being received by
the commission in every mail. Many
Of the railroads have contented them
selves with the filing with the commits
sion Of the tariffs heretofore in effect,
merely adjusting them to the require
ments of the new law. They have in
dicated to the commission their de-
sire to meet the provisions Of the law
without unnecessary obstruction or
opposition, although they have 1ndf-
Gated that, in some respects, 1t will
be impossible for them to comply with
the letter of the law until such time
as the commission shall rule as to GER
tain phases Of the act.

Limited DERAlLED
North Coast Limited Train Leaves
Tracks at Berea. No one
Injured,

At 5:l5 Sunday morning the North
ern Pacific train No. 2, east bound,
the North Coast Limited, left the
tracks at Berea, five miles this side
Of Valley City, and the first five cars
OF the train, which was running on
time at about 20 miles an hour, went
into the ditch. -Four Pullmans and
the observation car were piled helter
skelter in every direction along the
track plowing deep furrow in the
ground and finally coming to full
stop with nearly all the five cars On
their sides. Miraculously no one was
badly injured in the wreck as report
ed. so far, although every one in the
sleeping cars we're thrown from their
berths and for several moments the
widest confusion reigned.
The engine, baggage and express
cars, together with the day coaches
and chair cars remained on the track.
The cause Of the accident has not
been definitely determined, but it is
believed that piece of air hose
about 16 feet in length dragging
beneath one of the cars caught in a
switch throwing it open and derail-
ing the train. It was some time be-
fore the trai in could be renade and
continue. Wrecking crews are still
working on the drailed steel cars
which were not very badly damaged.
It is reported that Kermit Roose-
velt, the second son OF President
Roosevelt was on the wrecked train
returning to Washington from his
trip to the old Roosevelt ranch in
western North Dakota.

SECOND LARGEST CONCERN IN
PHILADELPHIA FORCED TO
H.. CLOSE ITS DOORS.
DEPOSITS OF OVER SEVEN MILLIONS
I47ssSF
INVESTIGATION FOLLOWS DEATH
OF PRESIDENT Nipple
LAST FRIDAY.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-The Real
|Estate Trust company closed it's doors
at 2:26 o'clock p. m. It was then the
second in point Of standing of the
Philadelphia trust companies. It has
capital and surplus Of $2,900,000
and deposits of $7,500,000. It was es-
tablished in 1885 and Frank K. Nipple
was it's president up to the time of his
death last Friday. The company did a
large business in call loans, having
about $6,70O,000 Of such loans out
standing. An investigation by the
trustees of the company followed the
death of Mr.. Nipple and disclosed such
state Of affairs that q meeting OF
representative bankers was called to
consider the situation. After exam1n-
ing the situation exhaustively these
bank officials found themselves un-
able to lend the required assistance
and called a meeting Of their own
trustees for $3.50 p. m. Meanwhile, at
'2:2O, those in charge of the Real Es-
tate Trust company found 1t necessary
to close its doors. There are rumors
to the effect that Mr.. Nipples death,
which was assigned to cerebral hem
orrhage, was not the result of na&url
causes.
In addition to the deposits the com-
pany has $26,167,6s2 OF trust funds
invested and $60,4S3,4 400 held by the
company as depository and trustee for
iss.sxs. OF collateral trust bonds.
Affairs Very Much Involved.
Samuel F. Houston, vice president
oe the Real Estate Trust company is
sued a statement after the trust COM
pany had closed its doors in which he
said that the affairs Of the company
were very much involved and that tho
omcials found themselves unable to
continue business.
In round numbers" he said, "the
failure will amount to 100000. At
a meeting of the banks and trust COM
panies of the Philadelphia clearing
house an effort was made to raise
money to tide the company over its
difficulties, but all We could get was
. 900, 900, or about one-half what was
needed. Consequently the court has
been applied to for a receiver"
Rumors of the condition Of the bank
caused a slight run early in the day
and in the last half hour thousands
of dollars we're drawn out by depos-
itors.
Frank X. Nipple was treasurer OF
the board of trustees Of the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
and it is said had all of the funds on
deposit in his company. Nipple had
been engaged in heavy real estate
deals and, it is said, lost millions OF
dollars.
Judge Audenreid, in common pleas
court, has appointed George H. Earle
Jr., president of the Finance company
of Pennsylvania, receiver OF the Real
Estate Trust company.

On receipt of word from Sanborn
that the caboose occupants had been
robbed and to look out for the rob-
be1s, Chief Burt OF Valley City,, was
reused from his bed, and together
with Officers Swenson, Personius, land
Dan Moore, restaurant man, went
to the west end of the yards to meet
the train. AS the train stopped,
Chief Burt and Officer Swenson went
along the north side of the train,
and Moore and Personius on the
south side of the train. They routed
the men out of the car indicated by
the train crew as the one in which
the desperadoes had taken refuge.
Moore and Personius captured man
and Burt and Swanson another. Per-
sonius left Moore holding The arrest
ed man while he ran down the train
to see if he could not pick up an
other suspect. He proceeded about
the length Of two box cars when four
shots were fred in rapid succession.
The other mem bers of the party hur-
ried to the scene of the shooting,
only to find the unfortunate man
sweltering in his own blood and un-
conscious.
He was at once taken to the sta
tjon and medical aid summoned. DR..
L. H. Bussen responded to the call
and found the man laying on the sta
tion platform, dying. Nothing could
be done, and in a few moments be
breathed his last.
While four shots were fired, only
two took effect. The first bullet,
probably 32 calibre, took effect in
his mouth. 1t is quite probable that
the officer was in the act of speaking.
as the first trace Of the bullet is the
missing portions of his two upper
front teeth, where the bullet entered
his mouth. 1t ranged upward and
lodged in his brain. The second bull
let entered the body between the COL
lar bone and the second rib, about
half way from the neck to the should
er on the right side. It ranged down.
ward and lodged in the body. Either
wound would have proved fatal.
The citizens of Valley City are
greatly worked up over the affair and
a cleaning out of the congregated
loafers and hoboes that have infested
the town is going to be had. Every
effort was made yesterday to get
trace of the murderers. 1t is believed
that two parties must have done the
shooting as there were four or i've
shots fired from the car. Some IA men
were arrested at Cassclton IN the
same freight train. Two men were
arrested at Valley City, who are
probably innocent parties.
A number of blood hounds were
brought from the Bismarck peniten-
tiary and No. 8 was held here Two
hours yesterday to allow dogs to be
received from Bismarck and taken
to Valley City to be placed on the
track of the men who fled from the
car. Ar since the shooting has
! made any work of the dogs more
likely to be Intellectual. The officer,
with his last breath. told that the
| men bad ran from the car in a SOUTH
westerly direction. It is proba bie
that the council of Valley City vii!
also offer reward for the capture OF
the men.
