ORDERS WARRANTS FOR
WHOLESALE GR0CERS

Several Minneapolis wholesale grocers
will probably be arraigned in police
court within the next few days charged
with selling adulterated food products.
A week ago when several retail gro
GERS were arraigned in court, Judge
G. L. Smith asked the members of the
dairy and food commission to bring
in the wholesalers today. This was not
done and the court was informed that
b; 7: Young, attorney general, consult
ed about the matter, had declared that
members of the commission had the
right to arrest the retail grocers. But
the attorney general did not say that
they did not have the right to arrest
the wholesalers as we'll. y. -
Accordingly, when the retail grocers
appeared in court for their sentences
today, Judge Smith asked them all if
they were willing to swear out com.
plants against the wholesalers, Some
| OF them said they were and their cases
were continued. The others said the
fines would be paid by the wholesalers
| anyway, and they were sentenced al
once. t11@r
| The following sentences were i'm
posed: Herman Rhine, Swan Nelson
and A. Wolpert were fined $25 and
costs, and T. P. Olson and F. G. Ware
were fined $40 and costs. G.. T. Mar
tin and F.. G. Smith were fined $40
and costs.
The cases Of the other defendants
were continued and the court ordered
warrants issued for the arrest of thu
men who sold the goods to the retailers

CONDEMNED CREAM TO
Be DESTROYED BY STATE

In order that condemned cream, here
tcfore returned to it's original owners,
may never find its way into food prod
ucts, as has sometimes been the case
in the past, E. X. Slater, state dairy
and food commissioner, has decided to
have it all destroyed.
He has, accordingly, sent the follow
ing notice to all cream shippers and
buyers:
"Acting under advice from the attor-
ney general s department of this state,
all cream hereafter condemned as i'm
pure and unwholesome' by our inspect
ors will be seized and put in cold stor-
age. Notice will then be served on
ccnsignors and consignees, and the
cream destroyed, after it is no longer
needed as evidence in prosecuting vio-
| lators.
"In the case Of shipments into this
state from outside points, the cream
will be destroyed and cans returned to
shippers. Shippers from points within
the state will be prosecuted in add.
ton to losing the cream. The same rule
will apply to creameries where deliv'
cry is made otherwise than by railway
shipments. Wherever practicable i'm
. pure and unwholesome cream will be
condemned and seized while in the pos
session Of the express and railroad com
! panies,''

FLETCHER PUTS IT UP
TO COMMERCIAL CLUB

That new union station is more
necessary to the welfare of Minneapolis
than any other public Improvement, not
excepting new postoffice, is the opin-
ion expressed today by Congressman
Loren Fletcher, in the course of = a
statement Of his views as to the proper
location for the new postoffice building.
"Selecting site for the new post
office,' said Mr.. Fletcher, "is a thing
in which I have no personal interest
whatever It., sseenss to me :. that tho
proper body to take UP the question is
the Commercial club, acting thru it's
public affairs committee The govern
inent is" always ready to listen to the
suggestions Of local business interests
in Selecting the sites for it's buildings,
and whatever suggestion the club may
make will have great weight with the
commissioners appointed by the depart
ment.
NsTo build building which will be
adequate for the needs of the city a
full block of land is necessary. While
the triangular block between Nicollet
and Hennepin avenues and just below
Washington avenue is ideally located, it
is not large enough. I understand it
contains only two-ffths Of an ordinary
block. -

ASA PAINE IS HONORED
MINNEAPOLIS MAN Is REFLECT
ED PRESIDENT OF THE FLORIDA
EAST COAST AUTOMOBILE Asso-
CITATION.

Asa Paine, vicepresident of the Min
ueapolis Automobile club, has been re-
elected tho president of the Florida
East Coast Automobile association The
election was held some time ago, but
failed to attract public attention, and
Mr.. Paine refrained from making any
announcement Of the fact, which came
out today in the course of a discussion
OF other matters connected with the
Daytona -Ormond races.
This reelection is a tribute to the
executive ability Of Mr.. Paine, who, ac-
cording to the automobile journals, was
the only association official to come
thru last seasons meet without incur
, ring the censure of those who partici-
pated and attended. .-..-
MIR. Paine is engaged in an extended
correspondence with w. j. Morgan, rae
ing agent of the association, over the
proper classification of ears for racing
The system OF grading cars by weight
employed lost winter, was at the bot.
tom Of nearly all the disputes and pro,
tests which marred the meet. Express
ing opinion on this subject, Mr.. Paine
has written.
/'.In my opinion there should be a
! decided change in the system of elias
!. si1ication for racing cars. For cars
weighing under 1900 pounds the weight
! classification is good enough. For cars
/ over that weight the only way to prop
! erly and fairly classify is by cylinder
displacement. Cylinder compression
! should be taken into consideration. Onl1
! one grade Of gasOlene should be use(
at race meets and that should be fur
nished by the racing committee. Pow
erful engines in inadequate frames ant
running gear are bound to hurt thu
racing Of cars for sport.'

The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany stands ready to pay it's contrihu-

officially that the company was ready

OLSON SAYS RATES
ARE EXTORIIONATE
RAILROAD COMMISSION ASKED
TO FIX MATTERS UP.
Farmers Champion Appeals to Cover
nor to Keep Tab on Commissioners
to the End that Freight Rates in
State May Be Reduced to Proper
Basis. ..~.. ..5.,- - Y

Eric Olson of Dunnell, Mimi, the
champion of all farmers, has filed a
complaint with both Governor johnson
and the state railroad and warehouse
commission to open up the whole ques-
ton of freight rates and classift atoms
on railroads thruout the state of Min
neSota. -".'lE
The. complaint is made to the COVER
nor as well as to the railroad commits
sion on the ground that the people
have no right to appeal to the courts
from an unjust ruling by the commits
sion, and the governor has a right to
interfere in their behalf. In explana-
ton of this, he refers to the section
of the new code, which provides for
the removal from office of commits
sioners by the governor for neglect Of
duty. 60 -. ,...S &.-~ ...ts
Mr.. Olson $ complaint alleges that
''nearly all freight rates on railroads
in the state of Minnesota under the
western classification, distance and ter
minal. as we'll as commodity rates, are
unreasonablY high He charges that
the rates are extortionatc and confis-
eatory of farmers property
Carload of Nails.
As sample, in proving his point,
Mr.. Olson takes the interstate COM
MERGE rates on steel nails for the ba-
sis Of argument. The Great Northern
road terminal tariff, ST., Paul to Moor
head. 240 miles, is 80 cents hundred
pounds, or $640 ton. This is five
times as much. ton mile for nails
in carload lots as the Great Northern 8
share of freight on nails shipped over
the same road in interstate transcon-
tinental traffic. : ~.
Mr.. Olson says: a'l have investi-
gated the cost Of Minnesota land-grant
railroads as taken from the annual re-
comes and expenses, and find that, after
allowing fair interest on the net CAPT.
tai invested, that the net cost is less
than the bonded indebtedness, and that
the capital stock has no right in equity
to any dividends, and that improve.
| ments have been paid for, as a rule
out Of surplus extortion earnings"

TO REDISTRICT WARD
Van Nest Would Increase the Number
Of Precincts.

An ordinance calling for the redis-
tricting of the thirteenth ward and
the creation Of five precincts in place
Of three, as at present, will be intro
diced at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil by Alderman j. s. Van Nest Of the
thirteenth ward. The ward covers a
large territory, and heretofore has had
but three precincts. The population Of
the ward has increased greatly and all
three precincts are voting over the
limit of 400. The proposed ordinance
leaves the first precinct as at present,
but subtlivides the two others into four
precincts.
It is believed that similar ordinances
will be introduced for other wards
The eighth ward has several precincts
that are much larger than 400 and there
are other large precincts scattered
ahtNt the city. In some wards a redis-
tricting on a basis of population would
reduce the number of precincts.
