MAKING More Money,

st. Paul-Fhe railroads of Mime
sofa are deriving greater revenue
from their passenger business since
the 2-cent rate went into effect than
they did last year upon a Scent basis.
This contention will be made by At
torney General E. T. Young when the
railroad stockholders rate suits come
up for argument before Judge Loeb
rem in the federal court on Sept. 3,
and in support of the argument a
statement prepared by the railroad
commission will be presented. This
statement shows the passenger re-
ceipts of the railroads for May and
June, the first two months the 2-cent
rate became operative, and compares
the total with the average receipts for
two months of last year, or one-sixth
of the total for that year.
The statement shows that, on this
basis of comparison, the receipts from
passenger business under the 2-cent
rate exceeded those for a like period
last year under the Scent rate, except
on the 500 Line, Willmar & Sioux
Falls, Chicago Great Western and
Minneapolis & St. Louis roads on the
purely local business, and on all, ex-
cept the Willmar &, Sioux Falls, Min
neapolis & St. Louis and the Rock
Island roads, on the entire Minnesota
business.
But while there was slight falling
off in the receipts on some of the
roads, the total for all the roads, on
the entire Minnesota business with
that of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul missing, shows total increase
of $126,220, which if maintained for
the whole year, would mean an in
crease in the passenger receipts for
the year of $757,320.

TEMBL0R DEVASTATES
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS

San Francisco. Feb. 1.-The Socie-
ty islands, in the south Pacific. were
visited by a frightful earthquake sew
eral months ago. and so heavy was
the force that the earth was opened
and great gorges created The en-
tire appearance of the islands was
changed by the great upheaval, but so
far as can be learned there was no
serious loss of life 1t is deemed
probable that the disturbance was re-
corded on the seismograph in various
parts of the world, but at the time
the earthquake was believed to have
occurred at sea The news of the
quake was brought here yesterday by
the steamer Sierra. from Apia. It hav-

tails are very meager.

Socorro N. NJ, Feb. 1.-THE funeral

cremated remains were found in the
ruins of his cabin near the Key mine
Thursday night, was held today. The
mystery of the unfortunate mans
tragic death is as deep as ever. His

to death while in a drunken stupor,
the first theory given for his horribly
end.
There remains. then, the theory of
suicide and Of foul play. Kely's
friends hold that he had no possible
cause for suicide. and the foul play
theory is, therefore, strongly held. 1t
is likely, however, that the mystery
will never be solved
