without hesitation The. the Plnault
family departed for the south.
First cIew in Query.
Toward the end of last February DR..
Pinault was astonished to receive from
his Minneapolis bankers letter ask
ing why it was that he wanted to sell
certain valuable stock and bonds that
had Just been offered thru Minneapo-
lis firm of brokers' The doctor knew
that he had left the securities safe
ly locked in his safe deposit vault, and
he started at once for Minneapolis to
investigate.
There he learned that his caretaker
had disappeared and with him prac-
tically everything of value in the Pin
ault mansion as well as the contents
of the doctors safe in the deposit
vault The list of valuables stolen in
cluded diamonds rulbies, All immense
quantity of silverware, many priceless
antiques, among them watch once
owned by Cardinal Richelieu, costly
laces and furs and several valuable oil
paintings. Among the jewels was
diamond brooch valued at $4,000, an
antique diamond cross, a pearl antique
cross, bracelet set with diamonds and
rubies and a pearl pendant. These last
have all been located in New York,
Minneapolis and Boston pawnshops.
The investigation disclosed the fact,
according to the police, that after lei
surely stripping the Pinault mansion OF
such of it's contents as he wanted,
Wainwright forged Pinaults name to
an order on the deposit company and
thus gained access to the doctors safe,
from which he a'bstracted such secur-
tiles as he considered negotiable.
Traced to New York.
Then on March he started for New
York But his trunks were traced to
this city and later to Boston.

torney showed that Wood & Company
owned the largest part Of this Camden
company, but Judge Holland charged
that made no difference.
William Glasgow, recently appointed
general counsel for the interstate COM
merce commission, appeared as counsel
for the defense. He argued that the
company did it's best to secure a low
rate of transportation, because, by get
ting a. low rate, it would be able to
make reasonable terms with the city OF
Winnipeg and have fair chance for
competition with the French and
Swedish companies that were trying
for the same contract.
Verdict on Patriotic Ground.
The jury took the view that any
American company should have this
same privilege and that where high
rates would prevent such international
competition rates should be temporar-
lily lowered.
They based the verdict they said, on
patriotic grounds as much as on any
thing else. President Roosevelt was
directly interested in this case and evil
dence was secured by his express or
ders in Washington. 1T was regarded
as a test rebate case.

The house was treated to the unusual

The N|ERURBANS
HAD A CLOSE Gall
Attempt to Get Thru Legisla-
ture Bill That Would Have
Been Disastrous
TRICK DISCOVERED IN TIME
Amendment Made Which Will Prevent
Injustice to the Interurban compan-
les = Will Probably Pass House as
Amended by Senate and Become a
Law.
[By Ora Williamsl
a Times-Ren11hlican

special to I1meS-Republican.
Des Moines, April 3.-The sensation
of the closing week was the attempt
to get thru the legislature bill which
might aptly have been entitled a bill
to kill off all interurban electric lines
in the state. The bill got good start
before anyone noticed what it meant
1t was a bill to permit railroad COM
panies to abrogate the long and short
haul clause and to enter into compe-
| tition at competitive points by reduce
ing rates. The bill had the appearance
of being one to carry out the recon-
| mendations made in the message of the
governor to the legislature wherein he
called attention to the necessity for
Legislation to permit of real compete
tion among railroads at competitive
points. But the form in which the bill
was drawn caused some suspicion and
it was soon found that 1t would have
the effect of permitting the steam roads
to enter into competition with the cleo
trio and virtually to drive them out e'f
business. lue luleFuTDdIl peOplG were
up in arms and the railroad men were
at outs among themselves. There wsls
never such lot of hustling around
as yesterday to try to get the bill thru
| the house as it had passed the senate
or to get it killed off. The bill had
been sneaked thru the senate, or at
least, it was passed without its main
features being understood. The seri-
ate recalled the bill late in the after
/ noon and amended it so that it will not
permit of the steam roads competing
with the electric roads. In this form
ftwill pass the house and become a
law. It will thus do all that the gov
!. ernor desired in his recommendations
| and not be menace to the interurbsln
I business Of the state.
The bin would have seriously af-
fected the business between Cedar Rap
ids and Iowa City and between Des
Mo;nes and Colfax. 1t would have put
stop to the project for the building
of the line to Ames and would have
made the pronoters of interurbans
steer clear of Iowa for some time. E'ut
in the form the bill now is it will make
competitive rates in perhaps fifty
nlaces in Iowa on passenger business
and be Of great benefit to the railroad
business.

normal production in the great central
ly located territory will be in opera
ton by the latter part of the week.
Up to this time there is no large break
in the ranks of the resisting Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois operators. The un-
ions friendly instead Of hostile atti-
tude to the non-union operators and
miners is calculated by the miners Of
ficials to assure them that West Vir-
ginia and the non union fields in Penn
sylvania will be kept in operation.
Most of the non-union operators have
posted an advance in wages.
