said in part:
Buttz' Speech.
BY authority contained in an act of
congress commission was appointed
in April 1904, composed of five men,
bers of the house of representatives
and five senator's, which commission
has been known since that time as the
Merchant Marine Commission" The
law made it the duty of said commits
sion to investigate into the condi-
tions of affecting our ocean transpor-
tatiOn the cause Of its decline and the
best way to restore and re-establish
our prestage on the ocean.
This commission was required to
thoroughly investigate the question
and report to congress by bill or
otherwise.
The commission duly organized and
held meetings, granted hearings and
took the proper and necessary testi-
mony to enable them to establish the
conditions that caused the decay of
our merchant marine.
The first meeting was held the same
year q904) in New York city.
Thereafter they held public meet
ings in several of the port cities of
the United States and closed with a
final public hearing in the city of
Washington in December of the same

commission was printed as a senate
document.
AS result of the careful investiga-
tion by the commission senate bill
No. 529 was prepared and after due
consideration Senator Gallanger from

the boss rule. These man were will
ing to cast ther lot with the organiza-
ton and assist in accomplishing the
ends to which they had devoted
their attention and in w.lich their con-
stituents were interested. They ex-
pected after that to be free men and at
liberty to act and do as these consti-
tuencies wished. But in stepping from
the frying pan they have landed in the
fire. The so-called freedom, according
to present indications, is merely .
become part of another machine
more iron clad and more drastic than
that ever welded by party boss or ac-
complished by party lash before. They
have merely swapped horses Of equal
value with notheing Ito boot" and they
must now, If present conditions con-
tinue, go before the people who elected
them and admit that as horse traders
they we're failures.
1t is such things which constitut IS
discomfort with the condition of affairs
which will likely break out into re-
bellion before the session is far ai-
vanced.
The absolute refusal of the majority
of the house to follow the self appoint

sidy resolution loaded up as it was
with a lot of democratic buncomb, and
containing severe structures upon the
honor of republican leaders, and state
ments and doctrines directly at war;
lance with those of President Rc0se-
velt in his late message to congress
upon this matter, shows that either a
mistake was made in the selection Of
the party whip or there Is too much
! honor and personal independence IN
the house to receive dictation such
as was boldly attempted to be forced
upon thems Mr.. Sorley lost mucn of his
prestige as leader when he received
the unmerciful drubbing given him in
the test vote on that resolution. This
matter was we'll expressed by one of
the most conservative and at the same
time ablest members who mad assisted

Order Handed Down in Ram

Paul To-day.
MINNESOTA STATUTE 2872
DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL
Railway Must Recognize the State
Railway and Warehouse Commission
and Show Necessity for Issuance Of
$6O.O00,O00 New Stock-Judge Oscar
Hallam Presided in Case.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Paul, Jan. 23.-In the Ramsey
county district court today Judge
Oscar Hallam signed an order en-
joining the officials of the Great
Northern railway company from maxi
Ing the proposed increase of $6O,O0O,-
900 worth of additional stock of that
company, or issuing the same or any
part thereof during pending litiga-
ton. without first making an applica-
ton in writing therefor to the Mime
sofa railroad and warehouse commits
sion, and securing it's approval there
OF, as provided by section 1872 of the
revised laws of 1905, of the state Of
Minnesota.
This is a complete victory for the
state of Minnesota in the action
brought by Attorney General Young
and his assistant R. A. Stone, who
brought an action last month to COM
pei the railroad to recognize the state
railroad and warehouse commission
before issuing stock, as the law pro-
vides that before the railroad can is
sue an increase Of it's capital stock,
it must make application to the state
railway and warehouse commission
and submit reasons for issuing the
stock, showing the necessity for such
an issue. The Great Northern rail-
road claimed under its original char
ter it could issue stock at will and
that the law granting this power to
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion was unconstitutional. The court
holds that is not the case.

talesmen. The trial began before
Judge Fitzgerald in the supreme court
and was scheduled for 1O:30 O'Clock.
Before that time the police lines had
been extended from over the entire
first floor of the building. The public
was excluded.
Deming c. Smith, about SO years
old, retired umbrella manufacturer,
was accepted and sworn as the first
juror in the Thaw case today. He was
the second talesman examined.
At 10 o'clock Mrs. William Thaw of
Pittsburg, mother of the defendant,
appeared in the court room. She was
dressed in her customary black and
was veiled. Following her came the
Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs.
George Lauder Carnegie, her daugh-
ters. Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. wife
of Harry, came next, closely followed
by May Mckenzie, the actress to
whose home Evelyn Thaw fed the
night of the tragedy at the Madison
Square roof garden. June Is last. The
party of relatives was completed by
Edward Thaw, Harry's brother and
George Lauder Carnegie, his brother
in-law.
District Attorney Jerome came in
shortly afterward, followed by the
court and Drs. Carlos Mcdonald and
Austin Flint, prominent alienists who
will watch the case and give testi-
mony. They came at Jerome's re-
quest. Justice Fitzgerald admonished
the throng in the court room that
absolute order be maintained through
out the hearing.

clerk, and there was a hush of ex-
pectancy The prisoner appeared al
most instantly from the jury room.
Without further ado, the task of
selecting the jury began.

tBy. George Davis,

Bismarck. Jan. 23-The house is
rapidly becoming the center of attrac-
tion for the spectators who desire to
see the legislators earning their sal
ary. During the last few days there
have been repeated battles on the
floor which are the equals of any ever
fought in legislative halls, but they
are battles of parliamentarians and
debaters, not a battle Of politicians
and schemers. The victories are won
because of the brains and ability be-
hind them and not by small methods
unworthy the efforts of great men.
Today the storm ragged around the
report of the committee on the resolu-
tion which was introduced by sorley
of Grand Forks on Saturday and which
was trimmed in the work of the house
on that day until it was hardly recog-
nized by its own father. The fight
today was on the adoption of the re-
port of the committee which was fav-
orable to the same. No sooner had the
clerk completed the reading than Rep
resentative Stevens was on his feet
and having secured recognition, NOV
ed the substitution of a resolution
prepared by himself in which he had
recited the messages of at least three
republican presidents in support of a
ship subsidy, including the magnifi-
cent message of President Roosevelt
sent to congress only a few weeks
ago, and showed that at all time the
policy of the republican party and the
presidents who have been elected
upon its platforms have advocated the
passage of ship. subsidy, which is
exactly the reverse Of the clipping
from the Minneapolis Journal which
was sought to be used as part of the
legislatures instruction to the mem
bers of congress from this state.
Stevens defended the resolution which
left the members free to act in the
matter, in an eloquent and logical
speech which carried the power of
conviction. He called attention to the
fact that we are now spending untold
sums in building the Panama canal
and that If nothing was done to en-
courage the building of our merchant
marine, when we had completed the
task it would be found that 95 per
cent of the ships passing through it
would float the flag Of an alien people.
Stevens moved that the substitute to-
gether with the original resolution be
referred back to the committee on
state affairs.
Major Buttz made strong argu-
ment in favor of passing the substi-
tute, and on point of order made by
Mr. Shirley, lodged a clever attempt
to put him out of the argument and

is the most drastic that has ever been

this state. In the house itself every
thing appears calm and serene, but IN
the Hobbies of the hotels and In the
friendly gatherings in the rooms OF the
members and elsewhere there are
rumblings of revolt and revolution
which can not be mistaken. In the
enthusiasm of doing up the old gang
and sitting astrlde its neck while sew
eral members vigorously welded the
board, the leaders were carried beyond
the bounds of discretion. There are

Anniversary Of the Birth of William

Be Observed Here.

The sixty-fifth anniversary of the
birth of William Mckinley. martyred
President of the United States falls
on Tuesday, January 20, and within
recent years his memory has been kept
green by the wearing of a carnation,
the Ohio mans favOrite flower.
The Carnation League of America
has been formed to keep fresh Nc
Kinley's memory and to instill greater
patriotism into the observance of all
national holidays. The wearing OF
the carnation on each anniversary of
McKinley's birth has grown more
common within the last five years, and
probably the next anniversary will
see more carnations worn than ever
before.

TRUNK MYSTERY IN PARIS.

A trunk belonging to man and wom-
an, who arrive In Paris yesterday from
Monte Carlo, attracted the attention OF
the baggagemsster, who caused 1t to be
opened. / VAS found to contain the
body cf oman, cut to pieces. The
man and woman owning the trunk we're
arrested. They had asked that 1t be
forwarded to London.
The couple, who are middle aged and
gave the names of Mr.. and Mrs. Gold,
residents of Monte Carlo, denied that
they committed the crime and informed
the examining magistrate that they knew
the victim only slightly. While the
latter was at their home, the Wills Me-
nesimy, on Sunday last, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gold added, the womsn's lover arrived
there and blew out her brains. The
Colds, fearing they would be compro-
missed, tried to get rid of the corpse. The
head and feet were in the Colds yalise
and the rest of the body was in the
trunk.
The autopsy seemed to upset the story
told by the Colds. 1t was shown that
the murdered woman was seized from
behind and held while she was stabbed
to death. A commission has been sent
to Monte Carlo to investigate the crime.
