Judge HaIIam Grants Injunction Pro.

St. Paul, Jan. 25.-Judge Oscar Hal
lam of the Ramsey county court has
granted the request of the State OF
Minnesota for temporary injunction
against the Great Northern railways
proposed $60,OOO,oO0 increase Of CAPT.
tai stock. All points made by the
state were sustained.
The case came before the court on
an order to the defendant to show
cause why a temporary Injunction
should not be issued prohibiting the
defendant, during the tendency of the
action and until the further order OF
the court. from making a proposed in
crease of its capit;l stock without first
making application in writing to and
obtaining the consent of the railroad
and warehouse commission.
Injunction Is Granted.
Judge Hallam granted an injunction
restraining the defendant from issuing
this stock without first securing the
consent of the railroad and warehouse
commission.
The contention of the state was
based on section 1872 of the Revised
Laws of 1905. originally enacted as
chapter 265. General Laws of 1887.
The defendant contended that the
act Of 1887 was in contravention of its
charter; that it was unconstitutional
"a heing DELEGATION of 1ooiolotivo
power to an administrative board;
that the act was repealed by chapter
227 OF the Laws of 1889: that the re-

SwfntNhAM has RESIGNED
JAMAlcA's GOVERNOR TO STEP
OUT AS RESULT OF AFFRoNr
TO DAVIS.

London, Jan. 27.-There is good rea-
son to believe that Gov. Swettehham
of Jamaica has forwarded his restgna.
ton to the colonial Office.
The officials say they are not pre-.
pared either to confirm or deny the re-
port, but they admit having received
kilograms of a confidential characte,
from the governor.
1t has been fully expected here that
q solution Of the difficulty would be
found in Swettenham's resignation.
1t was freely stated in the colonial
and other government Offices that II
was quite impossible for Swettenham
to continue in Office. not only because
of the incident involving the with
drawal of the American warships from
Kingston, but also ON account of the
protests against his conduct received
from the inhabitants of Kingston.
Discussed at White House.
Washington, Jan. 27.-A cablegram
was received last night by the state
department from John H. Carter,
American charge daffaires at London,
regarding the Swettenham-Davis cpl
sode, and the message, which was
forwarded to tht president. formed a
theme for discussion at conference
held at the White House between the
president and Secretary of State Root.
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
also participated in the conference,
which continued until midnight. 1t
was admitted that the Kingston cpl
sode was discussed. but none OF the
persons present would give any infor
nation to newspaper men.

COURTS TO PASS ON RATES.
Railroads Get an injunction Agains
Proposed Commodity Rates.

Railroads Get an injunction Against
Proposed Commodity Rates.
st. Paul, Jan. 26.-'The ten railroads
operating in Minnesota secured at
noon yesterday from Judge Lochren,
in the United States circuit court, a
temporary injunction restraining the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission from enforcing the sched-
ule of commodity rates which the
commission ordered some time ago to
become effective yesterday.
1t Is contended that the order of the
commission is an interference with in.
terstate commerce. The effect Of the
order, they aver, would be to make
rates lower in Minnesota than in adj
joining states. The consequence would
work a discrimination in interstate
commerce. which would be unconsti.
tutional.
1t is contended that the proposed
rates are confiscatory, and therefore
repugnant to the Federal Constitution.
Want to Help Him Fight.
ST. Paul, Jan. q. - The Minnesota
Shippers and Receivers association
will petition the federal court to inter.
vene In the injunction suit of the rail-
roads to test the reasonableness OF
the reduction in commodity rates in
Minnesota. The Minnesota railroad
commissioners are defendants in this
case, and the burden is on them to
show that the reduction they ordered
is not confiscatory. At a meeting OF
the shippers association last night it
was decided that its attorneys should
try to have the association made a
party to the case.
If it is permitted to intervene it is
the intention to bring before the fed
eral court all the line of evidence
which was not received by the rail-
road commission, including the ques-
tons to be asked of President j. j.
Hill and other railroad officials about
campaign contributions.

FUEL AND FOOD FAMINE
Is ACUTE.

st. Paul. Jan. &C. There seems to
be no let up on the blizzards in North
Dakota. For three days now the snow
has swept over the praries in the face
OF a heavy gale. piling UP monstrous
drifts over the entire section.
Although conditions were somewhat
better yesterday morning than they
had been for several days, the storm
broke out afresh last night, and, it is
reported. eliminated In the worst bliz-
card the residents of the state have
ever seen.
All Traffic at standstill.
All traffic is at a standstill. It is
stated that on the Great Northern
there is not a train moving west OF
Grand Forks, N. D., and the 500 line
Is completely out of business. The
Northern Pacific, the officials claim,
is making some slight progress on the
main line. and they have been able to
get one or two trains through.
r The drifts which are piling up are
the biggest ever seen. In some places
entire farms are completely showed
over and the farmers. in order to reach
their barns and outhouses from their
homes, are forced to tie ropes around
their waists and shovel themseles out
Of doors.
Snow Mountains High.
Nothing can be perceived for dis
lance OF ten feet at times, so thick is
the sleet. Snow banks have formed
which are veritable mountains.
The blizzard was stin raging at
latest reports. At that time all traffic
was blocked in the stricken state, and
1t will be impossible to get it started
again until the storm abates. It is so
severe that men cannot venture out
in 1t.
Several reports have come in of
men who have tried to walk few feet
in the face of the storm and who have
been found frozen completely stiff.
Crisis In Fuel Famine.
Cars of provisions and fuel are be.
ing amassed at various places by all
of the roads ready to be rushed to
North Dakota as soon as the condi-
lions will permit.
A crisis has been reached in the fuel
famine in North Dakota. From many
towns come reports that coal and wood
have been exhausted. Provisions are
almost out and there is sure to be
great suffering before the roads can be
opened up and relief furnished. Bust
ness conditions have become COM
pletely demoralized.
