EXTENSION OF REDWOOD LINE
MAY BE NEXT ENTERPRISE OF
STREET. RAILWAY COMPANY. =:

5 Extension Of the Kenwood car line,
from it's present terminus at Penn and
franklin avenues, southwark on Penn
to the west of Lake Of the Isles and
to the northwest Of Lake Calhoun to
St. Louis Park and Hopkins is said to
be the purpose of the street railway
company.
The line will serve a territory in the
city limits which is now remote from
street railway connections, and will
give direct line between the city
and the Minikahda club, much. desired
means Of transportation. 1t viii open
a lot Of land to settlement which is
now far from a carline.,
The route of the Kenwood line will
be- thru. a picturesque country The
Walker line, which operates between
Hennepin.- avenue and Hopkins, could
easily be Incorporated n in the: route
from Lake Calhoun to the terminus,
and it would obviate extensive build

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
Four Men and a Woman Taken Into
Custody for Supposed Connection
With Jap Bank Robbery.

San Francisco, Oct 20.-In a raid
made by the police at an early hour
this morning, five persons were arrest
ed on the suspicion that they may have
been connected with the robbery and
murder at the Kimmon Ginko or jap
anese bank a few weeks ago. The five
placed in jail are John. Richard. Will
liam and Edna Meyers, brothers and
sister, and Richard Doyle. The Meyers
were captured after the officers had sur
rounded, during the night, the shack
in which they lived on Rincon hill
Doyle was arrested a short time later
at Seventh and Harrison streets
The information against the Movers
and Doyle was brought to police head
quarters by Mrs. John Maynard, who
gave the Meyers family shelter after
the fire. She based her allegations on
an alleged conversation by the Movers
she is said to have overheard Just be-
fore the robbery at the Japanese bank.
The police claim that the Movers
have been harboring ex-convicts, one
of whom was Doyle.

BOX ELDER "AMERICANS,"
Endorse Democrats and Republicans
and Name Three Straights.
Especial to The HeraldD

Brigham City, Oct. 20.-The American
party held its convention in the opera
house here today, which was well at
tended. In making up their ticket they
divided their choice between candidates
on the Democratic and Republican tick
cts, cOntenting themselves with but three
straight-out American nominees.
The Democrats endorsed were as fol-
lows: Wynn l.. Eddy, representative; AL
len Roach, commissioner. two-year term;
Hyrum Standing, recorder; Fred Peter
sen, clerk. From the Republican ticket
they selected Elias Jensen assessor: A
Z. Jensen, superintendent of schools: s.
M. Coles, treasurer; Melvin Nebeker
surveyor. The above portion of the ticket
is composed of four Mormons and four
nOn-MormOns. The balance of the ticket
was made up as follows: James CoyIe.
sheriff; w. f. House. commissioner
four-year team; George r. Chase, county
attorney 1t is believed that the party
will poll between 400 and 600 votes in the
county which makes it almost certain
that the candidates endorsed will be
elected.
Tonight they held welI-attended rally
in the opera house. the speakers being

Fair Politics Demanded.
The speaker believed I'm a Republican
opposition. But" he went on, I'VE
want the genuine brand of Republican,
ISM not the bastard hybrid brand of
Republicanism that is being manifest
ed i'm Utah today. / would not want to
see the Democratic party absorb all the
people of the country. We want a
strong political party to meet us on the
battlefield in fair discussion. For my
self, L am sick and tired to death at
having the Mormon church forever
dragged into the political arena.
Don't you pray for the day to come
when we shall talk I'm our campaigns
only of political principles? 1 ask you,
my Mormon friends, If the Democratic
party has not done it's best to keep re-
ligious questions out of the political
arena? Isn't it a fact that my Republi-
can friends have been trying for years
to drag the Mormon church and its
leaders into the political arena? Hasn't
1t been whispered around that the
church leaders felt that the best inter-
ests Of the Mormon church would be
subserved best If all Mormons should
vote the Republican ticket?
I'm my own case, If you will excuse
a personal reference. the church leaders
were appealed to to assist I'm defeating
me because a Republican national adj
ministration was in power and that
thereby Mormonism could be best sub
served. My friends, as 1 understand
Mormonism, 1t did not come from man,
it is not supported by man and it can
not be destroyed by man. When get
SO despicable as to believe that my re-
ligion Is merely the tail to a political
kite, I hope the good Lord will take
me from this earth. The truths Of the
gospel do not depend upon the puny
arms Of men for their triumph. Let the
Mormon people stand by their political
principles and not be deceived by any
sophistries that may be advanced by
Smoot and his followers

FIRE INSURANCE
RATES TOO HIGH?
STATE FIRE MARSHAL THINKS
MINNESOTA PAYS TOO MUCH.
Comparison With the Average Rate Col
lected in Other States Shows Mime
sofa to Be Paying am Average Of so
Cents a Hundred More-Legislature
May Act.

Is Minnesota Disseminated against
by the board fire insurance companies2
Edward Peterson, state fire marshal,
is collecting tables of rates, comparing
Minnesota with other states, and while
his work is not complete, he is CON
WINGED that rates in Minnesota are
much higher than the average, The
Minnesota average, as he figures 1t,
comes about so cents a hundred higher
than the average for the country at
large.
A complete report will be made be-
fore long to Insurance Commissioner
o 'Brien, and may be the basis of legis-
lation next winter to reduce rates in the
state. Mr.. Peterson estimates that
the excess paid by Minnesota over the
average rates has amounted to 100000
IN the past ten years, taken from the
pockets Of Minnesota policyholders.
The office of fire marshal is an out
growth of the agitation at the session
of 1905, for lower insurance rates A
| special committee of the house investi-
gated insurance matters, especially to
| decide whether board insurance rates
were excessive. The companies APP
peared and asked for fire marshal law,
expressing the belief that fire marshal
would reduce losses and make a re-
duction in rates possible. The law as
framed, gave the marshal power to in
vestigate as to determinations in rates.
| This feature of the work has not been
handled to a great extent so far, but
the investigation now in progress is
carrying out the intention of the legis-
! latiye INQUIRY
