Minneapolis. Minn.. Dec. 15.-Ar- engagements have been completed for the interstate commerce commission to probe into the car shortages The hearing will begin on Monday before Commissioners Franklin Kline and James Harlan.

These include grain shippers. railway men coal dealers. farmers and men who are in any way connected with the situa- ton. The car situation is bad in the south also. Mir. Marble states. it being especially impossible to ship cotton oklahoma and Indian Territory are feeling the effect Of the shortage and the commission will likely hear evil dence from the southern states.
 Aroused by the distI essing predica- . mcnt of the North Dakotans who face severe suffering through an insufficient supply Of coal. the railroads will try to hurry coal to districts where the need Is most imperative. Late this afternoon the Great Northern issued orders that car lot shipments except of coal would not be accepted fol

Fear of the Great Railroad Systems of
 the United States
Mir. Limantaur Minister of Finance Explains to the Mexican Congress the Need of Action On the Part of the Government.

Mexico City, Dec. 15.-Thcre has been plenty of discussion in official and com- mercial circles of the speech in which Minister of Finance Limantour last night announced to the congress the Mexican governments motive in buy ing the Mexican Central. The fear of what he styled the great railway trusts of the United States was the principal occasion for the purchase, the minister declaring that the government had been forced to enter the railroad field on a gigantic scale. He intimated that the merging of the National and Central is but the beginning of the plan. although the republic now owns all the big operating lines in the coun- try.
 After delivering the speech he pre- scented a bill at the request of Presi- dent DiaZ, asking that the session of congress which IS about to be closed be prolonged that the whole situation might be carefully considered by the deputies and senators. Minister Liman- tour said that the government was first forced into this railroad business in 1903. when the National was purchased because a merger between that line and the Central was about to be con summated. At that time the govern ment declared that its attitude in rail- road affairs would be passive, but the change was forced by the attitude of the American railroad financiers.

THE U. s. COURTS
 FOR THE JAPANESE
The Probable Course the Federal Au. thorities Will Pursue in the San Francisco Case.

San Francisco. Dec. 15.-DevelOp- ments in the international controversy over the segregation of the Japanese school children today indicated that the United States government is pie- pairing to take drastic action through the federal district attorneys office against the board of education. Ex- actly what form the legal procedure will take has not been made public. but it is now officially intimated that it will be an injunction suit brought in the United States courts to restrain the board of education from carrying out the order segregating Japanese pupils in oriental scrOols
 Assistant District Attorney J. C. Reynolds arrived today from Wash ington to look into the situation for the federal authorities. He spent the greater portion of the day in close consultation with United States Attor- ney Deviin. All parties concerned maintained absolute secrecy as to the result of the conference but if is known that the case of the segregation of
  not the sole tonic discussed.
 After the conference the assistant district attorney refused to make any statement as to what action the au- thorities contemplated or to express any opinion as to the legal procedure. | He left on a late train tonight for Washington. where he will make a re- port to the attorney general on the situation in this city.
 | United states Attorney Devlin stated that he expected to receive definite | instructions as to the manner in which he will proceed in the case at any min- ute and he has intimated that an in- ! junction restraining the board of edu- cation from carrying out the segre- gation order may be applied for in the | federal courts.

The minister said: "Gen:lemen. you are familiar with the aspect offered by the transportation question in the neighboring nation. The problem there is the only phase of the trust question which may be characterized as a peril. Those great corporations are being ex- tended every day and the expansion has been so pronounced in recent years that it may be said that the aim of most of the financial interests control ling the transportation systems of the United States is to absorb as many lines as possible.
 'The United States government, be- ing desirous of initiating a reaction against it. has taken action which aims checking their continued expansion. Under these circumstances it was nat ural that We should endeavor to pre- vent these powerful corporations in question, attacked as they are by all the legal means in their own country, and harassed by the pressure of public opinion. Homecoming hither and seek ing to absorb those Mexican railroads which are not already under the con- trol of the government"
 The minister summed up his argu- ment as follows: These are the main arguments for the merger; first. to avoid friction between different cOrpo- rations. when two are competing lines or when one of them fears being antag- onized by a concern in which the gov ernment holds the controlling interest secondly. to avoid the absorption ol properties not controlled by the govern ment by one of the great railroad sys tens of the United States; thirdly. th' prospect Of realizing economies through consolidation under a single manage ment.''
 The speech was frequently applaudec and there seemed an overwhelminl sentiment in favor of the ideas ad. vanced by Senor Limantour.

A LETTER FROM CHRIS
A Very Interesting Letter From Our
Friend Chris ]. Petersen to His
Old Neighb0rS
LUCK, WIS, Nov. 81, zoe

LUCK, Wis, Nov. 81, '05.
DEAR FRIEND MR.. LANcELoT:
My paper and pen are not very good
but will write a few lines anyway.
Our party consisted of four boys: Wal
ter and Thomas Olsen, jim Christen-
sen and myself. We left Harlan at
ten o'clock Tuesday night over the
Great Western Railway and arrived
at st. Paul $50 a. M, Wednesday.
There wasn't any chance to see the
country as we travelled in the night,
but still it is fine to go along the river
into St. Paul. When we arrived at
Minnesota we decided to go to Luck,
Wisconsin, in company with Mr..
Madsen, from Elk Horn, who has
moved his family up here where he
has bought eighty acres of timber
land of Mr.. Bergreen. Both Mr.. Ber-
green and Mr.. Carl SHREDDER with FAM
lilies are locating here and will have
nice places when they get them clear
ed Luck is built in two towns, the
old town and Luck. Luck is the new
part built since the 500 railroad was
built thru here. They have quite an
industrious town here, booming in all
branches. A new excelsior factory is
being built, and Mr.. Bergreen tells us
that as soon as it is completed he has
five cords of wood sold to it for that
purpose at five dollars cord There
is fine lake lying right up to the
town here and there are several hotels
in town, one of which is the Lakeside
Hotel. Most of the people here are
Danes, and the farmers near town are
also of Danish descent. There are
many nice improved farms around
here, and the settlers from Elk Horn
are we'll satisfied. l would advise
those in kimballton and Elk Horn
who have relatives here to take trip
up this way in the summer time 1.-THE
good old summer time, of course). We
are expecting to leave for st. Paul to-
morrow night and will start from
there in the evening or next morning
for CulbertoD, Montana, and will
write again when we get there. am
expecting to meet my brother tonight
whom l have not seen for four years.
Well, must close now or you will be
tired. With loving regards to your
self and the readers of the kimballton
and Elk Horn news from Chris Clerk,
/ am, yours truly,
CHRIS J. PETERSEN.

encouraged him to do so. but he would
not. His attitude puzzled and alarmed
me. When we were halfway through
the meal l observed that the butcher
was again sending too much bone with
the meat and that many of the last lot
of potatoes were bad, but he did not
break out into threats against the
butcher and grocer. On the contrary
he smiled and replied:
I'VE must not be too hard Oh them,
Mrs. Bowser. The butcher must sell
the bones to some one. and potatoes are
not always what the grocer buys them
for"

On two previous occasions when we

face and jumped up and down and de-
clared it to be my fault. If l replied
that | was downtown when it hap
pened he asserted that it was my duty
to remain at home and watch the win

7 WAS standing out on the front
steps when Mr.. Bowser dropped
off the car half block away the
other evening. and | saw at once
that something was the matter with
him. He did not turn and shake his
fist at the conductor, and when a
tramp asked him for money he did not
grab the poor man and throw him
against the fence. Between the corner
and the gate Il boy was driving goat
hitched to a wagon. The goat ran
against Mr. Bowser and crowded him
into the ditch. l looked to see that
goat lifted high in the air and flung
into shade tree across the street, but
nothing of the sort happened. Mr.
Bowser simply smiled. patted the
frightened boy on the head and came

Walter L. Mitchell and family, who
have just moved from Union City, Pa. :,
to New Haven, spent Sunday with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs G. Leroy Mitch
ell, at the old home on the Housatonic
river. w. l.. Mitchell has just accept
ed the position as manager of the New
England branch Of The Buffalo Fer
tilizer Co., with headquarters at New
Haven. The wonderful growth of this
company (which is outside of all
trusts) bids fair to make it one Of the
largest in the land. They have just
made arrangements for importing vast
amounts of potash, for agricultural
purposes, and are in a position to sup
ply quantities, from one bag to the
largest cargoes, and at right prices.
Their 1906 trade almost doubled that
of the same period in 1905 in the same
districts. Farmers hail with pleasure
a chance to purchase, at satisfactory
prices, fertilizers, and chemicals. Mr.
Mitchell's lifelong familiarity with
New England farming, and his years
of experience with fertilizers, give him
peculiar adaptation to his position.
His many friends and old acquaint-
ances all over Connecticut are giving
him hearty homecoming welcome.
Mr. Mitchell has always claimed that
a good acre of we'll located Connecticut
nd-handy to market, is as valuable
as in any of the states. New England
farmers have greater future, and
many facts now point to this end.
