for the ministry. AS soon as he had
taken orders he came to America. and
after travelling extensively, settled at
Red Lake in 1888, resolving to devote
his life to the Indians.
Father Borgerding set himself to
master the Chippewa dialect and to
study and supply the needs of the In
dams thickly settled about the shores
of Red lake. From one end Of the
reservation to the other the priest trav-
eled, proving himself priest to body as
we'll as to soul, and slowly gained the
confidence and love of the Indians.
His knowledge of medicine has given
him the name of "Great Healer" among
the Red Lake Indians, who have come
to venerate him more highly and love
him more deeply than even their great
est chiefs.
Father Borgerding's congregation
numbers 40 families. and the total
membership Of his church exceeds 700.
At long intervals he makes a trip to
Bemidji and sometimes to the Twin
Cities.

GENERAL CRUSADE TO FIGHT RATES
Chicago Shippers Begin q Movement
to Resist the Railroads Re-
classification Scheme.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 2s.-An all
American crusade to resist unwarrant-
ed advances in freight rates and COM
pei the railroads to cease reclassifica-
tons that have extorted millions of
dollars from merchants and manufac-
turers, has been begun by the ship
pers.
The idea originated in Chicago and
the first step was taken here, but it
is planned to have the movement
spread throughout the country. The
movement will be widespread and
general as is the move now being
made for uniform bill of lading, for
it will be conducted through the same
channels.
AS the railroads seem to- have turned
against the shippers for having kept
them from collecting their just freight
rates, so the shippers will retaliate
against the railroads by joining to-
gether in a demand for a general re-
duction of freight rates.
The concentrated effort for a gen.
eral reduction of rates is to be brought
about through the organization of the
American Shippers association, which
formerly was organized through the
efforts of the Illinois Manufacturers
association for the purpose of getting
a uniform bill of lading. This matter
is now pending before congress and
also before an arbitration commission
composed of railroad officials and
shippers.

Peculiar Case Concluded at Pa|as
de Justice in Paris.
RELATES JAPANEsERUssIAn HOs1ILITIEs
INVOLVES PAY FOR PLEASURE
YACHTS USED BY RUSSIAN
NAVAL DEPARTMENT.

PARIS. April ga case which has
just been concluded at the Palais de
Justice and in which the decision has
been reserved, casts a curious sidelight
on the Russo-Japanese war. Toward
the close of 1904 Russia, having at
length decided to send her fleets to the
far east, dispatched the first squadron
by way OF the Mediterranean and Suez,
while other ships were to double the
cape In order to protect the Russian
ships against surprise, several fast
going pleasure yachts were chartered
with instructions to act as scouts and
signal the presence of suspicious vessels
in the Mediterranean and especially
near the approaches to the canal.
Captain Maurice Loir, retired, was in
command of the little fiotilla, which
comprised the Florentina, the Esmer-
elda and another yacht destined to
acquire still greater fame in bearing
the ill-gotten fortunes Of Galley and
his mistress, the Catrina. These
yachts were hired from private own
ers at the rate Of $1,000 to $1,000 a
month each, and for a period Of two
months, which might be prolonged If
the necessity should arise.
M Tordo, president of the yachting
Agence," played a leading part in the
affair, and in order that the yachts
might be able to prove, If overhauled,
that they were pleasure yachts, he
helped to fill them with adventure-lov-
ing friends, and finally accepted pas
sage on board the Florentina for his
wife and himself, Drawing the dangers
of the sea and, possibly, Of cannon and
torpedoes.
Once in the Mediterranean, the hap
py family began to quarrel, and when
the order was given to go through
the canal and enter the Red sea, the
"trippers" hastily asked to be put
ashore. From November to February
M. and Nine Tordo stuck to the Flor
entina through thick and thin. Then
they were put ashore at Naples, against
their wish, it seems. M. Tordo claimed
repayment from M. LOir of sums adj
vanced to him, and also fees due for
months extra cruising.

WIFE CHARGES HUSBAND.
Three Men in Automobile Seize Infant
Child of Mrs. Rosie n. Richards.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 2S.-Three men
in an automobile, believed to be the
Yale alumni and classmates of the
child's father, yesterday afternoon kid
mapped 3-year- old Arson Head Rich
ards from the front of the home of his
mother, Mrs. Rosie Richards, and es-
capped after a chase which lasted for
more than a mile. The last of the pur-
suers, a boy on horseback, was COM
PEELED to give up the chase when the
fugitives threatened to turn the big
touring car on him and run him down.
According to Mrs Richards, the child
was kidnapped at the instance Of his
father, Dr. William Richards, who is a
son Of Eugene L. Richards, professor
of mathematics at Yale. The couple
separated about two years ago.

PARIS, April 2s.-Maxim Gorky has

enough to show that the Russian has
formed a bad impression of America
and the Americans.
Gorky says that personal liberty rs
as much hampered in America as it is
in Russia. He realizes that his con-
templated lecture tour is ruined, but
says he is rather glad than otherwise.
for the sooner he gets out of. the
wretched country the better he will be
pleased.

disturbance in the Lake Superior re-

of ruins?"
Anxious citizens are already pictur-
ing to themselves the horrors of 1871
duplicated on a vaster scale. with the
added awfulness which the lack Of con-
gestion in those days rendered impos?
sibe If an earthquake, with it's ac-
companying fire, ever struck Chicago,
the extreme congestion, the number Of
it's skyscrapers and the fairness of the
city would make a disaster ten times
more horrible than that which devas
tated San Francisco or Charleston.

Chicago will never have an earth
quake" said Rollin D. Salisbury, pro-
fessor of geographic geology and dean
of the ogden school Of science at the
University Of Chicago.

reported to have been visited by an
earthquake, has had many shocks,
proving they are to be expected in
territory Of such geological forma-
ton.
THAT part Of the region which
touches Lake Michigan is not subject
to these disturbances, and so there is
no possibility of an earthquake there

Eastern Athletes NettIed,

Eastern athletes have been nettled
for years because the western cracks
have defeated them so consistently, es-
pecially in the 4-mile race. For three
years in succession the University of
Michigan has carried off the cham
pionship in the 4-mile event Not once
/ has an eastern team been able to con-
quer the athletes from the Wolverine
state. Yale has tried it for three years,
strongest runners for the express pur-
pose of downing the Michigan men,
but all to no avail This year Michigan
has again sent a fine set of runners
and it is considered extremely doubt
full whether the eastern athletes will
be able to beat the Wolverines any
easier this than in former years.
All the big eastern universities have
entered teams for at least two Of the
| relay events. Harvard will compete in
the 1-mile and 2-mile events; Yale in
the 2-mile and 4-mile races; Dartmouth
in the 1-mile and Emile events Prince
ton and Cornell will compete in the
2-mile and 4-mile events, while Syra-
cuse, Georgetown, Columbia and a few
other colleges will be represented in
only one race each. For the first time
in the history of the University of
Maine that institution will be repre-
scented by relay team at one of the
races.
The entries for the various field andn
gymnastic events are also unusually
men in amateur athletics Many of the
smaller colleges and minor schools
have also sent exceptionally good men
for the various contests, and their
performances will be watched with the
greatest interest. Last year in the
1-mile relay race the runners from
Yale, Chicago and Pennsylvania fin
ished within foot of each other, and
there is reason to believe that the con-
test will be just as close this year.
The Pennsylvania relay carnival af-
fords an opportunity for the schools
and colleges of the east to meet and
settle the question of supremacy. For
some it is their only opportunity to en-
gage in an intercollegiate contest.
Among the most noted of the ath-
letes sent by minor colleges is Frank
Mount Pleasant, captain of the Carlisle
Indian team. He has run the 100 yards
in ten seconds and the 440 in fifty fiat
Last year he surprised everyone by
jumping twenty-three feet and one
inch after running a fast quarter on his
relay team.
