Complaint
Attacks Omaha And
Northwestern
Companies
Says Freight Rates in
Wisconsin Are Un-
reasonable

Secretary of State Walter l.. Houser
has formally opened before the state
railroad rate commission the ques-
ton of railroad freight rates in Wis
consin. Yesterday he filed com
plant with the commission against
the Northwestern and Omaha roads,
alleging that the rates charged by
these companies for carrying freight
in this state are excessive and unlaW-
fdl, that they are far above the rates
charged for similar service in the
state Of Illinois and ought to be the
subject of an order of the commission
requiring the companies to lower
them He alleges that the rates are
unlawful for the reason that the laws
Of Wisconsin forbid the charging of
higher rates tain reasonable. He
further alleges that these excessive
end unlawful" rates work a great hard
ship to the public.
He asks the commission to take the
necessary steps to notify the com
panies Of this complaint, make prop
er investigation of the facts and grant
the relief to the complainant and other
citizens IF the state as prayed for.
The complaint is drawn in the indi-
vidual and not the official capacity of
Mr.. Houser. He represents that he
is and for over so years has been a
citizen, resident and freebooter of the
state of Wisconsin. and is at the pres
ent time and for many years last past
has been engaged, among other things,
in the business of farming, horse
breeding, stock raising and dairying
in the city of Mondovi, in the county
of Buffalo in said state;
THAT the defendants are each cor

in the business of conducting and op-
Grating, within said state and else
where, railroads for the carriage of
persons and things, for hire, as public
carriers, and are duly licensed and
by the laws thereof
Then follows a detailed description
Of the routes of railroad maintained
and operated by the two defendant
corporations. The two together are
alleged to operate some $500 miles
of road in this state.

that the city of Milwaukee contains

stated, are from the city of Moldovi,

which require the railroads operating

and unlawfulness of said rates, for
the performance of said service more
clearly appears from a comparison OF
the rates as hereinbefore stated with
the rates charged upon like commod-
tiles for the carrying of the same the
same distance within the state or

Your complainant further shows
upon information and belief that the
rates of toll charged in said state Of
Illinois, computed in cents, per 100

Settlement.

Settlement.
ManitOwoc, Wis, April 13-James
P. Nolan was arraigned in the munic-
ipal court Thursday and was given a
continuance to April &c. Continuance
at first was asked for by his attorney,
Isaac Craft, until May /. District
Attorney Hougen consented, provided
the defendant would agree that the
case would be disposed Of then. No
lan's attorney said it might be neces-
sary to ask for a further continuance
then, at the discretion Of the court.
The attorneys fna1y agreed on April
26, which would permit of a second
delay for valid reasons, without ex-
tending the time 100 close to the
opening of the circuit court, June 1.
Nolan's attorney stated to the court
that his reason for asking a continu-
ance was the hope of the defendant
that the case never would get to the
circuit court
II is thought now that settlement
can be made although the amount in
volved is said to e $4,000.

Washington, April 3.-After a brief
speech by Senator Latimer in support
of the house railroad rate bill, Senator
Foraker yesterday took the floor on
that measure and consumed practi-
Cally all of the remainder of the days

time in discussion of some amend
ments he has suggested to the bin
and then entered upon consideration
Of the entire question of railroad rate

points of view. He was frequently in
teTrupted by other senators. Senator
Lodge spoke briefly in support of the
practice of granting lower rates On
goods intended for export than on
those used in domestic consumption.
RidicuIe in the House,
The feature of the proceedings In
the house was a speech by Mr. Coch-
ran of New York who was given an
hour to elucidate the subject Of gen
eral debate" on appropriation bills
After short discussion of the fiction
of general debate" and the failure OF
members to attend sittings of the
house while subjects covering the
widest possible latitude were being
illuminated, he launched into a de-
Tense of the Hepburn rate bill and the
high position taken by the house not
only in the exceptional character OF
q G LOT h11t IN,
way in which the bill passed the
house. In this connection he ridiculed
the constitutional debaters in the
senate.
Increased pay for letter carriers, a
subject which has been a fruitful
source of impassioned eloquence for a
number of years, also gave the partf-
sans of these men an opportunity TO
put themselves again on record.

tory. However, | do not wish to say
that, because they were not as We
wished them to be, the financial cir.
Giles of our country are about to be
plunged into sea of troubles
Neither do | wish to harbor any such
idea. From the very start, we did
not take up arms that we might be-

From the beginning we knew very
we'll that it would be very difficult in
deed to drive our enemy to the foot or
his citadel and compel him to see the
wisdom of concluding the peace under
the CASTLE" More than once-and this
from the very opening of the war
we were in doubt whether, after all,
the war would bring us anything like
an adequate compensation for the ex-
penditure. It would be out of tune
with all things, therefore, for us, at
this hour, to be looking upon financial
Japan after the war with a sad eye.
Nevertheless, as we are well aware of
the disturbances which the war has
brought to our finances, we must look
to the best possible measures for re,
storing to health and prosperity what
the war has disturbed. That is all.

Gold Output of Alaska.

The gold mines on the American
side of the line in the far northwest
are this year, for the first time, pro.
ducing much larger quantities OF the
precious metal than are being found
in British territory. The yield for 1909
at Nome and in the surrounding dis
trict is estimated by experts at ap-
proximately $4,000, 0,and the Tan
ana valley has cleaned up $1,000, 900.
Last year the total gold production for
all Alaska was s9,050,00O, or nearly
$1,000,000. less than this years clean
up at Nome alone, where the princi-
pal increase took place during the last
summer. 1t is safe to assume that
the entire Alaskan gold output will
not be far short of $4,000, 900. On
the other hand, the Klondike output
for 1904, which was .$10,S29, 900, will
not be much exceeded by its total for
1905.-Tacome Ledger.
