Commodity Schedule To Be
Attacked In Court.
JAMES J. HILL GIVES A HINT
Eastern Stockholders of Great North
erm Road Claim They Can't Get
Reasonable Returns.
Especial to The Free Press. !

st. Paul, May 22.-It is possible that
within the next few days suit will be
commenced to test the validity of the
commodity rate law enacted by the last
legislature. James j. Hill has informed
Commissioner Staples of the railroad
and warehouse commission that eastern
stockholders of the Great Northern road
have mtimated that they would enjoin
him from putting the rate into effect.
The stockholders claim that the rate
will not permit OF a reasonable return
on the investment they have made. The
commodity rate cuts the freight SEIZED
ule about ID per cent.
1t was discovered today that an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the convey
ances of prisoners from county seats to
t he states prison and the reformatory
was left out of the omnibus bill The
states legal department advises coun
ties to pay the bills and the next legis-
latme will reimburse them.
In an off hand opinion today Attorney
General Young expressed doubts as to
the right of the state TO condemn land
for the requirement of additional land
for Mimeopa park. There is no provis-
ion of the legislature for condemnation
proceedings. and the bill passed two
years ago has no connection with the
more recent act. Mr.. Young said there
is a general law providing for the con
demnation of land for state institutions,
but it is a question whether a park
comes under the heading of state insti-
buttons.
Considerable secrecy surrounds the
filing of articles of Incorporation for the
Duluth & Thunder Bay railroad. The
articles were filed on Saturday and were
kept under cover until today when Sec
rotary of State Schmahl refused to keep
them in the background longer, claim

ness The road is from Superior through
Lake, Cook and st. Louis counties. 1t
is believed to be an ore road, a rival of
the Hill properties. Duluth men are
named as the incorporators.

OLD cAnnon cAn,r DC sRokEN.
Armament Of Old crsft Was Made to
last

A good story 10 being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold n the local yard some time ago
The cannon were all Of the smooth
bore kind. and In order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder. but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full OF holes In order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges. but this was also unsuccess-
full The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard OF them they
were corrailed In the hills near Point
Richmond. where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament of
the war craft which sailed the seas

How the Water In Great Salt LAX

Bathing in Great Salt lake is 4
unique experience.
Flights of steps lead down into tho
water from the interminable platform
along which the lighthouses are stu

first, and you find rare enjoyment for
time in wriggling your toes about in
the salt that forms the bottom in
place of accustomed sand You are
obliged TO wade out some distance be-
fore you experience the peculiar buoy
ancy of the lake First you feel youf
feet trying to swim out from under
you. You find it more and more diff.
cult to walk. You begin to float il
spite of yourself. Then you realize
you are nonsinkable. You can't sink IT,
you want to. Throw yourself On your
back or sit down or try to swim, and
you bob about like a rocking chair in
freshet You feel as though you had
been turned to cork. You can't helr
looking at the phenomenon subjective
thing peculiar about the water. II
looks and feels like any other bathing
water-until you get some of it in your
eyes or in your mouth. Then you wish
you hadn't come. Ocean water is
sweet in comparison. In fact, the
chemists tell us it is eight times lesG
salty.
You can't drown in the lake by sink
ing, but you can be suffocated t.
death, which is just about as uncom
Portable and undesirable. We found
signs everywhere warning us against
being too laxative or too frolicsome in
the water.
When we came out we brought With
us large deposits of salt on our skin
AS the water evaporated we found our
selves covered with white crystals

Worse han the worst In Paris, Lon.
don or New York.
Tokyo has slums whose poverty
reaches the last depth of human degra-
dation. Below the cellars of Paris,
the alleys of London and the crowded
slums of the New York east side, the
Japanese capital reveals a lower gulf.
1t is a region that no ray lights. Your
mOIdy man of Paris and your 'hooli-
gan" of London do have at times fierce
joys and moments of acid pleasure,
but the microscopic intensity Of the
distress in the Shitaya quarter of To-
kyo bars out all hope. Tokyo has far
too many poor people, and their dis
position is a pressing problem. Thou
sands are shipped to Korea and For
mosa. but the pressure steadily in
creases owing to the constant migra
ton of ambitious Japanese from the
provinces to the capital city.
Japan carefully avoids all public ref
erence to these great sores on it's body
the foreign visitor. Rarely does a
tourist see the Slums, and specialists
studying the city for precise informa-
ton are sedulously kept out of the
poorest quarters. Japan is so skillful
ly press ACCENTED that the existence of
these miserable purlieus is not even
suspected by the average student Of
conditions. 1t is a journalistic rule in
Japan not to say anything that be-
trays weakness in the life of the peo-
pie, and it is a rule generally observ-
ed. But there are writer's in Japan
who think that in adopting the civiliza.
ton Of the Occident the republican
form of government should also have
been imported, and these give the min.
istry trouble at times by telling plain
unpalatable truths. The Kokumir
newspaper detailed a representative to
live the life Of the lowest and poorest
In Tokyo, and his articles dealing with
life in the Shitaya district created an
immense sensation. When translated

When You Are Bilious.

The only salvation for the person
with a torpid liver, according to- What
to Eat, is through changed system of
dietectics, combined with exercise IN
the outdoor air, calisthenics and deep
breathing The person with a bad
liver should habitually practice deep
and long breathing, filling the lungs at
each inhalation. The curative dietary
must consist principally of nerve or
brain food, including fish and reason
able amount of beef, with generous
quantities of cereal foods and the
fruits that are rich in acids. In warm
weather it is best to abstain from
milk altogether. Butter and vegeta-
BILE fats, olive oil. boiled rice, baked
apples, baked potatoes, graham or
whole wheat bread, soft boiled eggs,
all constitute a safe and nourishing
diet for the bilious person. AT the
first symptom of biliousness squeeze
the juice of half a lemon in the water
you drink just before breakfast and
before going to bed at night.

tied up in silk handkerchief slung to

"What are you doing with that hand

"Why, you see, sir" said Brown.
