RAILWAY COMMISSION VOTES TO

Has Given Offense- Claimed that He
obstructs Business Of Board.

The state railroad commission has de.
barred James A. Manahan, attorney for
the Minnesota Shippers association,
from further practice before the com
mission. This action was taken some
time ago., but was not announced. The
commission has no right to punish an
attorney for contempt, but it has a
rlgnt TO refuse to permit an attorney to
course taken, the following being the
resolution adopted:
Whereas, Mr.. James Manahan Of st,
faul, MINI, an attorney -at-law duly
licensed to practice in the courts Of the
state OF Minnesota, has heretofore been
permitted to and has appeared before
this commission in his professional ca.
paclty, and in the course Of his prac.
tlce before this commission has been
guilty repeatedly of grossly unprofes,
slonal, insulting and boisterous con.
duct and repeatedly has insulted and
assailed the commission. and. in IKE
manner, IN the presence and during the
session Of this commission repeatedly
tined to 1ntlmldate the commission in
the performance of their duties and has
assalled other departments Of the state
government including the chief execu-
tive; and ID: :. s,,-... =. = !
Whereas, By such gross misconduct,
stubbornly persisted in, notwithstand.
ing the repeated warnings Of the chair
man, sald Manahan has shown not only
his inability to be of assistance to this
commission, but on the contrary has re.
peatedly interfered with the proper or.
DER and regulation Of it's proceedings
lndering, interrupting and delaying
ITS dispatch Of public business, and il
having become absolutely necessary and
requisite for the proper order and regu.
latlon Of the proceedings Of this com
mission in such a manner as will best
conduce to the proper dispatch of it's
business that the said Manahan be
pared and excluded from further prac.
ting or appearing before this commits.
Whereas, Altho this commission has
welcomed at all times, and still cordial.
ly invites, the participation in it's pro.
ceedlngs Of any and all persons who can
be. and are of assistance in giving of
lnformat1on, or otherwise, it cannot in
justice to iself it's members or the
public and consistently with the proper
performance Of its duties, tolerate the
continued hlndrance, interruption and
delay OF Its proceedings by any per.
son VINO, instead OF being an assistance
and substantial interference with the
ness. - : :, ' \ - 81 o'l'1 :
Nov Therefore Be It Resolved and
1t Is Hereby Ordered by the railroad
and warehouse commission Of the state
OF Minnesota that until the further or.

WAR ON TROLLEY
TO BIRCH BLUFF
PROPERTY OWNERS TO OPPOSE
CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS.
Street Railway Company Begins Action
to Secure Right Of Way from Excel
sior to Upper Lake Minnetonka--
Trolley Cars Will Garry Freight and
Baggage.

Confirmation Of The Journals
announcement some weeks ago that the
street railway company would next
spring extend it's Lake Minnetonka troll
Icy line, to the upper lake came today
When confirmation proceedings were
filed in the district court against
owners Of fifty-seven tracts Of land
Bluff, on the upper lake. The distance
between the two places is two miles.
The effort to secure the right Of way
to the upper lake will be resisted by
some OF the land owners, who have
already engaged attorneys to contest
the condemnation proceedings. Among
the land owners who oppose the extern.
sion of the trolley to the upper lake
and who will enter into legal fight
Gillette, John R. Wilcox, the Manitou
Forest syndicate and the L. S. Gillette
company. .. -. -. v ~
According to the plans of the trolley
company, Birch Bluff is to be made the
upper lake terminal, and steamer serv-
ice for the upper lake will be handled
from that point, thus avoiding the long
trip to Excelsior under the present ar.
rangement. In their petition for the
appointment of commissioners who will
assess the value Of the land which the
company seeks to condemn, it is an
nounced that the line to Birch Bluff
will shorten the trip of upper lake res
ldents to the city by period Of TWEEN
ty-hve minutes: The lake suburbs
which will benefit most from the ex.
tension Of the line are Tonka Bay,
Mound, zumbra Heights, Spring Park
ana Wildhurst. It is proposed to run a
line parallel to the present Minneapolis
q st. Louis railroad tracks from Excel
slor to Manitou Junction, and then to
build branch to 'Biesh Bluff. A line
running to Tonka Bay is also 'contem-
plated: Much of the land necessary
for this improvement has been bought
at private sale, but ffty-seven tracts
could not be secured by the company
and it is against the landowners who
have refused to sell that the action be.
gun today is aimed.
The trolley company announces, too,
that it will install exp press and freight
facilities in connection with the Tonka
lines. The company announces that
1t intends, when it can conveniently
do SO, to transfer baggage and freight,
as common carrier, over its Mime
tonka lines. This announcement, in the
condemnation proceedings is taken by
Deephaven people as having a bearing
4on their assertion that the company IS
not now common carrier of FREIGHT
and the decision in the Deephaven case.
which was tried before Judge Brown
in the attempt to restrain the company
from operating in the village without
a franchise from the village corpora
ton, will be eagerly awaited. If the
contention of the villagers that the line
IS not common carrier of freight is
approved. the case is expected to figure
in the fight of the property owners
against the extension of the suburban
line to Birch Bluff. VIVA
