TO INVESTIGATE LOTUS
Author of Campaign Attacks on
Peterson to be Placed on
the Grill.
Brown County Member Secures
Passage OF His Pet Resolution.
Committee of Five Will Investi-
gate Devious Methods of
Shippers Association.

On Thursday Representative S. d.
Peterson introduced a resolution in
the house providing that, inasmuch
as the so-ealled Shippers and Re-
ceivers' Association had assumed
through the public press and in de-
vious ways to criticize public officials
and also members of the legislature,
committee of five members be ap-
pointed by the speaker to investigate
the said association and ascertain by
what authority the officers thereof act:
the nature and scope of its business;
what part the association and it's Off
GERS take in politics; whether campaign
contributions have been solicited and
received and if so the amount thereof
and the purposes for which they were
disbursed: and whether the associa-
ton or any of its members have been
engaged in collecting or trying to col
lect rebates from the railroads doing
business in this state.
AS soon as the resolution was Of
fered Representative Nolan of Fill
more county gave notice of debate
and the matter went over to the follow
ing day.
When on Friday Mr.. Peterson again
asked for the passage of the resolu-
tion, the house readily acceded to his
request. Nolan was absent at the
time and did not enter the chamber
until a vote had been taken. He in
simulated snap judgment, :" but to this
MIR. Peterson objected and, rather than
have the Fillmore member continue
under the impression that he had been
taken advantage of, consented to a
reconsideration.
Mr.. Nolan then said that he did
not intend to fight the resolution, but
the point he wanted to make was that
he did not think it wise for the legis-
lature to require members of the
shippers association to be dragged in
from all parts of the state for the pur-
pose of investigation by a legislative
committee. If the investigation was
to be confined to the officers he had no
objection.
Ambrose Tighe of Ramsey county
said he was skeptical as to whether
the organization was really of suff-
Gent Importance to warrant the great
house of representatives looking into
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-02-20
lie thought it would be a

its affairs. He thought it would be a
waste of time.
Elmer Adams defended the president
and secretary as men of high stand
ing who would only be too glad to
welcome an investigation.
Representative Peterson replied that
the only purpose of the author of the
resolution was to secure square deal.
He said that members of the legisla-
ture had been attacked by the associa-
ton and he wanted to know by what
right such an organization presumed
to dictate to the peoples representa-
tives.
John Lennon of Hennepin was heart
lily and vigorously in favor of having
the shippers association investigated,
He had circular which. the associa-
ton had sent out, threatening MEM
bers of the legislature with political
death if they did not agree to support
certain alleged reforms for which it
stands. He charged that one of their
pet measures was the reciprocal de-
murrage bill, now before the house,
even going SO far as to say that its
members drafted the bill. To this Mr..
Nolan entered fat denial, and Mr..
Lennon qualified his statement.
The vote being taken, the resolution
was passed a second time by a decisive
majority.
In accordance with it's provisions
Speaker johnson has appointed the
following members on the investigat-
ing committee: Peterson Of Brown,
Lennon of Hennepin, Bills of Hubbard,
Hol]ister of Mower and Bouck of Nor
rison.
The Investigation, it is understood,
will be complete and thorough.

JOHNSON A STRONG POSSIBILITY
Minnesota's Executive Regarded in
the East as a Good Man to
Lead Democrats in 1908.

The following is the substance of a
Washington telegram to Mondays ST.
Paul Dispatch:
In the opinion of William H. Eustis,
Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, will
figure in the next democratic national
convention. Mr.. Eustis says that
during his present trip east many in
quiries have been made Of him
regarding the Minnesota chief ex-
ecutive, and as to whether or not he
will have a delegation from the North
Star state. "While there is a general
impression that Bryan will be nomi-
nated," said Mr.. Eustis, there is also
q sort of universal expression that he
can never be elected. His nomination
to again lead the national democracy
would reopen all the old factlonal
wounds, and his defeat is openly pre-
dicted. What the democrats want
is a new man and a vote-getter, at
least that is the talk that I have heard
in New York and Washington.
Another dispatch to the Minneapolis
Journal says that Gov. Johnson IS
chances for the presidency were dis
cussed at the treasury department
Saturday. The subject came UP as a
sort of preliminary to the consider
alton of the Minneapolis postofice
site question. Secretary Shaw asked
the members of the delegation what
kind ola man Johnson was-whether
he was of presidential timber. The
secretary said his inquiries had been
prompted by a statement made to him
a few days ago by a prominent demo
GRAFT, whose name was withheld, who
said that johnson of Minnesota was
available presidential timber

MILK DEALERS RECEIVE SCORING
Inspector Calls Them to Task for
the UncIeanliness Of Their Cows.

J. G.. Joslin, milk inspector for the
State Dairy and Food Department,
was in the city Friday and Saturday
testing samples OF the milk and cream
sold throughout the city by the vari-
Gus dairymen and other dealers. The
milk tests resulted as follows: VIM.
Ochs, 3.8; Mike Schmitt, So; Herman
Pfaender, 80; Ben Juni, Al; G. Filzen,
AZ; John Book, 4.6; Fred Haas, SO.
The law requires that milk test 3.5
per cent sat and the inspector name
diately proceeded to make complaint
ag ainst one of the dealers whose milk
tested below the legal requirement.
Mr.. Joslin also looked into the con-
ditions of the barns as to cleanliness
and sanitary conditions, and in a
signed communication makes the fol-
lowing report of his invests ations.
81 must say that the conditions as
whole were very bad. This applies
to barns in town alone, as did not
go into the country.
sThe barns are not properly ar
ranged for keeping the COWS clean.
Some were fairly well kept, but others
we're filthy, making it an absolute inn
possibility to get clean milk from cows
kept therein. In some instances the
TANKS and udders of the cows were
coated with manure hanging on in
flakes an inch thick.
"Such conditions are very bad and
there is no excuse whatever for their
existing. Any person furnishing milk
to his neighbors Or to the public
should at least see that his COWS are
kept clean.
According to the state law it is a
misdemeanor to sell milk taken from
COWS that are kept in uns anitary places
or are themselves unclean. The
present inspection in New Ulm should
be warning to all who have been in
the habit of allowing such conditions
to exist. A failure to clean up will
surely mean fine on the occasion of
the Inspectors next visit. 2

FULLERTON GETS NEW POSITION
Former Executive Agent to be Re.
tanned as Superintendent
of Fisheries.

Sam Fullerton is to continue in the
employ OF the state game and fish
commission, having been made super
intendent Of fisheries. Carlos Avery
of Hutchinson assumed Mr.. Fuller
toms former duties as executive agent
last week.
70 those who have been seeking Mr..
F'nllerton's scalp for the past two
years, and who thought they had it in
| the appointment of Carlos Avery as
executive agent, the news of his new
connection with the department will
not be received with any degree of
satisfaction. The commission. how
ever, thinks it cannot do without his
| services.
In the matter of fish culture and it's
distri button there is not a better post
ed man in the northwest than Mr.. Full
lerton, and it is this one thing that
compels his retention.
In addition to his duties as superin-
tendent of fisheries, which means the
overseeing OF the two hatcheries and
the general distribution and collection
of fish fry, Mr.. Fullerton will assist
the new executive, Carlos Avery.
Though Mr.. Avery was appointed
agent the first of the year, he insisted
that Mr.. Fullerton remain until the
present time, and the two will now
work together.
The executive committee of the Min
nesota Municipal League has fixed on
July 80 and 81 as the days for holding
the next annual meeting. The Zenith
City will be the meeting place.

Editor j. j. Green was to have read
a paper before the editorial associa-
tion on Friday on "F:fty Years as
Minnesota Editor He was una BILE to
attend, however, and the paper was
read by Philip Liesch. In his remi-
niscences Mr.. Green went back to the
time when he first came to st. Paul
in 1856. He recalled the first news
one of the first settlers, and J. A.
Wheelock. He emphasized the pro-
gress of the newspaper business in
Minnesota and described his own eff
forts, from the time he first started
the minnesota Statesman in ST.
Peter, to the present day. He pewail-
ed the fact that the pres ent-day editor
was not the power in the community
that he used to be and attributed this to
the fact that papers were not person
ally edited by the owners. He said:
s'There is such a difference between
the old and new editor. The pioneer
editor would rather be right than
be president. The men in those days
were true men and were controlled
by motives of honesty. lido not mean
to say that the present-day editors are
rot honest, but they are rather control
led by capital and by other interests.
The old editor was poor and it was
often that he had to shovel coal for
his living. Nowadays they are
wealthy men, but they stand better
chance of shoveling coal in the here
after. I" At the conclusion of the read
ing of Mr.. Green's paper, Editor Col
Inns of Minneapolis moved that the
secretary be instructed to send
Geographic greetings and the thanks
of the association to the author. This
was done.
Under the provisions of bill
fathered by Senator Pauly of Mime
apolis candidates for judges of the

and arranged alpha betically. Separ-
ate boxes shall be furnished for the
