RAILROADS DENY.
Wordy War between Attorneys and
Court over Relating Case
on Trial.


on Trial.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Minneapolis, April 5.-'If there were
any rebates, every one received the
same concessions, so what right has
the government to interfere is the
stand taken by Judge Thomas Wilson
for the Omaha road in the second days
hearing by the government in the al
legged violation of the antitrust law.
Judge Wilson, Paul A. Ewart. as
sistant United States district attorney
and Judge Page Morris became in
volved in a very wordy argument to-
day as to what would really have to
be proved in order to find the railroad
guilty of rebating.
"If we have been guilty of any
double stealing between the railroad
and the grain companies that all ship
ments were to go through Duluth to
Buffalo. This would then bring the
railroad outside of the charges in the
Indictment.
Mr.. Ewart claimed that there was
no specific agreement as to where any
single shipment was to go and that
the shipping bills showed that they
were to go to Duluth.
ION the face of it, it seems to me
that you are even granting conces-
sion when you are giving the rebate
on shipments to Buffalo," declared
Judge Morris.
Judge Wilson claimed that all grain
companies were treated alike in this
respect and that no one has shown
any fayOritism.

Minneapolis, April 5.-The Mime
apolis Journal says: Electricity will
be utilized by the Great Northern
instead of steam as motive power on
at least one division of the transcon-
tinental line in North Dakota as we'll
as in hauling trains through the
famous Cascade tunnel in the Rocky
Mountains. The particular stretch of
road where it has been decided to use
electricity is between Minot and Will
liston, where the roads supply of
water Is so full of mineral salts that
the engines must be taken into the
round house after every run to have
the boilers cleaned. Cary T. Hutchin-
son, an expert electrical engineer
from the east, and several others from
the Twin Cities have been called in
consultation with the superintendent
of motive power for the railroad COM
pany, and from their figures it has
been determined that the particular
section of the road under considera-
tion. which is 121 miles long, could be
operated by electricity at great saw
ing as compared with the present ex-
pense.
The road between Minot and Willis
ton has been giving the company
trouble and at times the difficulties
experienced have been sufficient to in
terfere materially with the operation
of trains. 1t is estimated that with
the adoption of electric power six or
eight locomotives will be sufficient
for the better operation of this part
of the road and greatly cut down the
cost of operation.

DEMOCRATS APPEAR LIKELY Of SUCCESS

Guthrie, Okla, April 5.-The pre-
vailing belief that the democrats have
the better chance of success at the
first election in the new state of Okla
homa has resulted in rush of can
didates seeking Office under the ban
ner Of that party. Democratic sue
cess in the municipal elections this
week has served to increase the con-
fidence of the party leaders.
The three men whose names are
now most prominently mentioned for
governor on the democratic side are
Lee Cruce of Ardmore. C. N. Haskell
Of Muskogee. and ]. A. Kelso of Enid
All signs at presnt lead to the belief
that either Haskell or Cruce will Sc
cure the nomination at the primaries
in August.
Mr.. Cruce is a banker and man
of affairs in the Choctaw Nation and
is president of the United Commercial
organizations of both territories. Mr..
Haskell first came into prominence as
a politician in the Sequoyah conven-
tion last year and took prominent
part in the recent constitutional con-
vention.
In addition to the candidates for

THAW'S TRIAL
WILL PROCEED
AGAIN MONDAY
Jerome Decides to Give Up His
Appeal and Continue the
Trial Next Week.
WILL MAKE ONE
MORE EFFORT, THO
To Have Court Refuse to Con6m
the Verdict Of the Commis-
sion in Lunacy.
DECISION REACHED
AFTER LONG STUDY
This Means Harry Thaw Will
Probably Know His Fate
Last Of the Week.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, April 5.-The trial of
Harry X. Thaw for the murder of
Stanford White probably will be con-
cluded next week. District Attorney
Jerome decided today that he will not
ask the appellate division of the SUI
preme court for writ of prohibition
against the continuance of the trial
before Justice Fitzgerald. He will,
however, on Monday make an argu-
ment to Justice Fitzgerald against the
confirmation by the justice of the re-
port of the commission in lunacy,
which declared that Thaw was capable
of appreciating and understanding the
proceedings against him, and of ad-
vising with his counsel. Jerome came
to this conclusion after having spent
an hour reading law and precedents in
criminal cases. He also had an inter-
view with Justice Patterson, of the
appellate division of the supreme
court.
Should Justice Fitzgerald overrule
the district attorneys arguments and
confirm the reports of the lunacy
commission, summing up in the case
will begin at once.
Much uncertainty again invests the
Thaw case. Thaw is sane, according
to the finding of the commission in
lunacy, which has been placed in
Justice Fitzgeralfs hands, and he is
adjudged quite competent to consult
his lawyers. But this triumph by
him over the prosecution may end
with the report and he may yet have
to spend many weary weeks of i'm
prisonment before his fate is decided.
This contingency, if it should oc-
cur, will be because of District Attor-
ney Jerome's uncompromising atti-
tude, for he has determined to appeal
from Justice Fltzgerald's ruling that
he cannot inspect the minutes of the
commission. The appeal will be in
the nature of an action to obtain a re-
view Of the Justices decision. 1t will
be taken in the appellate division of
the supreme court and by 1t the dis
trict attorney will seek either writ
of prohibition or a writ of mandamus.
Such an application will act as a stay
of proceedings. and II granted. it will
halt the trial, which had reached it's
last phase. for perhaps weeks or oven
months.

on the democratic ticket, including
lieutenant governor, state treasurer,
attorney general. secretary of state,
state mine inspector, railroad COM
missioners, state superintendent of
public instruction and justices of the
supreme court.
This activity on the part of the
democrats with political ambitions is
in striking contrast to the lethargy
displayed by majority of the repub-
licans. The only avowed candidates
on the republican side are those who
announced themselves before the con-
stitutional convention. The dearth of
republican candidates is due largely
to the uncertainty as to the attitude
the party will assume toward the con-
stitution and the legislative gerry
mander which the best informed re-
publicans concede will make 1t a most
difficult matter to secure a republican
mapority in the first legislature. Fur
thermore the democratic cause is
strengthened by the fact that that par
ty proposes to make the constitution
their platform in the coming cam
paign.

POPL|NGER

ASSAULTED
Three Burleigh County farmers
Hombly Mistreated and
Manned Neiehbor.
HER. POPLlNGER
LATTER'S NAME.
Victim Had Ann and Leg Broken.
Teeth Knocked Out and
Cuts on Head.
Special to The Evening Tines.

Bismarck, N. D., April 5.-Charged
with assault to do bodily harm on the
person of Herman Poplinger, Harold
Barony, John Barony, Harold's son,
and Abram Goldschlager were before
Justice Gilbert. They waived exami-
nation and were bound over to the
district court, the senior Barony and
Goldschlager in $1,000 each, and John
Barony in $500. The bond of the lat
ter was placed low in the expecta-
ton that he would be able to secure
1T and go home and look after the
family and the farm until court sits.
The other two are in the county Jail.
These people live in the northeast
part of the county and have a very
unsavory reputation among their
neighbors as they are known as quar-
relsome and vicious people, and con-
stantly in hot water.
The story of the assault is re-
voting as showing the heartlessness
OF the men concerned and their dis
regard as to whether their victim lived
or died.
When Poplinger was found after
wards by neighbor, he had a leg and
arm broken, five bad cuts on the
head, and part of his teeth knocked
out. His story of hardship and en-
durance is without parallel in the an
nails of this locality. His version of
the affair is in effect that Friday
last, just after he had finished water
ing his horses, there appeared at his
house Aaron Barony, his son John and
his son-in-law Ahram Goldschlager,
and they at once proceeded to pound
this pleasant pastime, they reviled
him, and interspersed their remarks
with whacks with a shovel and any,
thing else they could find, finally leav-
ing him for dead.
they had gone, and knowing he would
die if he remained there, Poplinger
started for neighbor's, crawling on
his hands and knees in the snow in the
teeth Of the severe storm. How he got
there in his mangled condition is a
marvel. When within hundred yards
OF the neighbors and after crawling
nearly a mile, he became utterly ex-
hausted, and there would have died
but fortunately he was seen and upon
investigation taken in and cared for
as we'll as conditions permitted.
1t is learned that bad blood has ex-
listed between Poplinger and the Bar
onys for some time. Poplinger is
Aaron Baronys son-in,law, and he
claims that the wife's parents de-
stroyed her affections and later took
her away from him. We learn that
the Baronys have threatened his life
and he recently came to Wilton to in
quire what he should do in the
premises.

Letter From Vatican Authorities Deal.

Rome, April 5.-The vatican authori-
ties today made statement on the
subject of papal secretary of state
Merry del Val's letter to Monsignor
Montagnini, dated August IL, 1905, en-
couraging Catholic demonstrations
against the law providing for the
separation of church and state. saying
that the French government took ad-
vantage of that letter to insinuate that
Monsignor Montangnini's cOrrespon-
dence contained documents showing
the vatican had urged that tumultuous
demonstrations be made against the
taking of church inventories, especial
ly by the anti-republican parties"
The vatican adds that the taking of
inventories occurred between Decem-
ber 1905 and January, 1900, while
Cardinal Merry del Val's letter was
written in the previous August before
the pacific, legal protests of the
French Catholic clergy and laiety
against the separation of church and
state, which at that time was merely
a proposed legislative measure.
The vatican statement concludes Dy
asserting that the publication of the
text of the letter instead OF injuring

in opposing the separation of church
and state, they always strictly ad-
hered to pacific legal methods.

RAT WENT FISHING
And Philip Duyal's Bait Dis.
 appeared in Short Order.

M
 Philip Duval, who conducts bar- Der shop on South Main street, Is 8
 good fisherman, 50 much so that some claim he is able to do moro with the
 line and hook than any other dis ciple of Isaak Walton in this part of the country. But that's another matter. although there Is some con- nection between it and what we started out to say. MT Duval had
 planned to spend a few hours on one of the reservoirs next week and as a preliminary he bought about 200 sinners and put them in pail about half filled with water in the cellar. When he went down this morning to see how they were getting along the first thing that attracted his atten- tion was a large rat sitting on the side of the pail eating one of the sinners. He drove 1t away and on looking into the pail found that al- most all the bait had disappeafed and he immediately concluded that rats had been fishing in the pail all night. Some say that rats don't like fish, but you can't make MT Duval believe anything like that.
