of persons of standing, asking for a

ground on which the action was taken.
The secretary telegraphed of the appli-
cation and delayed proceedings in dis
charge until the president could indi-
cate his wishes. The secretary was in
the meantime called out Of town. No
answer was received from the presi-
dent. The secretary on his return did
not feel justified in further delaying the
execution of the order Of discharge, es-
pecially in view Of the fact that the
secretary then learned that the presi-
dent had fully and exhaustively cons
sidered the argument against the or
der Of the persons who now applied
for rehearing. Accordingly the secre-
tary directed yesterday that the pro-
ceedings for discharge be continued

Des Moines, Nov. 21.-The supreme
court today affirmed the conviction
of and the life sentence imposed upon
Charles Thomas, tried for the murder
Of Mabel Schofield in this city, Oct.
%, 1899. The court refers at some
length to the trial Of the case and the
points on which new trial was asked.
1t condemns the action of the audience
in kissing Thomas during the trial and
the demonstration that was made
against him. The chief counsel for the
state in the trial is severely repri-
manded for alleged misconduct in the
trial Of the case, but the supreme
court considers none Of these matters
as Of sufficient bearing on the merits
Of the case to warrant granting new
trial.
The crime for which Thomas is serv-
ing life sentence was one of the sen-
sations of the time.

President Stands Firm,

Later in the day Secretary Taft re-
ceived dispatch from the president,
and issued the following additional
statement:
"a telegram was received from the
president t0day, In which he declines
to suspend the discharge unless there
are new facts of such Importance as
to warrant cabling him. He states his
action was taken after due delibera-
ton; that the only matter to which he
can pay heed is the presentation Of
facts showing the official reports to be
in whole or in part untrue, or clearly
exculpating some Individual Il any
such facts later appear he can act as
he deems advisable but thus far MOTH
ing has been introduced to warrant a
suspension of the order, and he directs
that it be executed"
Taft says immediate steps will be
taken to recruit the colored soldiers to
replace the men discharged.

and Owner Wants Reimbursement
Council Bluff, Nov. 21.-Becauas inc
soldier boys OF the Fifty-six Iowa
infantry were determined to carry
away some souvenir of Council Bluffs
when they passed thru here recently
on their way to Fort Riley, the state
has been called upon to pay the Union
Pacific railroad for over fifty pieces
Of silverware and table furnishings.
The members of the Fifty-sixth reg
iment arrived in Council Bluffs early
in the evening. of September l and
were detained for a considerable time
at the Union Pacific transfer station.
The officers OF. the regiment refused
the soldiers permission to visit the
city, and they had to content them
selves by viewing the scenery from
the Union Pacific depat. Just before
time for the train to start on the jour-
ney to the Kansas military post, some
Of the soldier boys wandered into the
the depot lunch room. Coffee, pie,
sandwiches and everything else which
appealed to the soldier boys was or
dered.
1t is now alleged by the Union Pa
cffic that while the waiter was ousy
serving the orders the soldiers gath
cred up everything that, was not red
hot or nailed down and carried the
plunder away with them to Fort Riley.
The loss was not noticed by those
in charge of the lunch counter until
after the train bearing the soldiers
had left the city, but the officers OF
the regiment we're Immediately noti-
fled and asked to recover the goods.
A search was instituted as soon as the
regiment reached camp, but no trace
of the stolen property could be found
Since the members Of the regiment re-
turned home all efforts to locate the
guilty persons have failed, and it now
looks as if the state will be obliged
to reimburse the Union Pacific and In
chde the amount with the other ex-
penses of the trip.
1t is claimed by some Of the officers
of the regiment that the stolen goods
were stored away in the big bass drum
belonging to the band which accom-
panied the soldiers, which accounts
for the failure Of the officers to locate
the property when the initial search
was made.

Intimates the Great Northern Is the
Best Managed Railroad on Earth -
Tells of Relations Between Lines and
the Elevator Manasers-A Game of
Freeze-o Out.

Minneapolis, Nov 21.-James ]. Hill
was the first witness to take the stand
today when the interstate commerce
commission began its inquiry in Min
neapolis into the relations which ex-
ist between the railroad companies
and the grain companies in the north
west.
Hill proved to be willing witness.
His answers were given to all ques-
tions without hesitation and in detail.
He told of the tremendous grain traf-
fic on his road, equalling each year
twice as much as the grain hauled into
Chicago in year by all roads running
into that city, He said the Great
Northern in 1879 hauled 2,S70,0O0 bush
els, while in 1896 this had increased to
probably 115,000,000 bushels. In view
of the fact that the bulk of the Grea /
Northern's business comes from the
farmer he said it has always been its
policy to aid the farmer whenever pos
sible. He said it was not the policy
of his road to delay freight for any
reason.
IF connecting roads, he said,
would move freight faster, we could
do great deal better. The fact that
traffic is sometimes congested on our
line is simply the fault Of the immense
amount of accumulated business. 9th
er lines are more open to criticism than
the Great Northern. In Chicago a few
days ago I took special pains to make
inquiries about traffic and could not
get single line which would agree to
move 100000 tons of freight to New
York before December. The Great
Northern can right along handle all
business received from the east
promptly Congestion comes from traf-
fic from the west"
"On the subject Of grain elevators,
Hill testified. 1T is our rule to permit
any one to erect elevators at the sta
tions of our road on the right of way.
We now make our contracts however.
not transferable, as we have found
Instances where such applications were
not made in good faith and afterwards
sold at good figure. We have found
trouble in keeping the elevators from
combining, and sometimes in tracing
down the applications for elevator
sites, we have found different appli-
cants to really represent one interest.
When we have found Objectionable ele-
vator combines we have sometimes
built elevators of our own and placed
some man in charge. In such in
stances combines have tried to freeze
our man out. We have such an in
stance at Litchfield, but We're able to
help our man out but that was before
the passage of the interstate COM
merce law"
