WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1907

Elmer e. Adams, member Of
the legislature from Otter Tail
county, has struck a neat blow
at the Twin City push who are
trying to bleed the state for an
appropriation of one million dol
lars for a semi centennial cele-
bration of Minnesota s admission
to the Union, the principal result
Of which would be a six weeks
golden harvest for the business
men of the two cities and for the
railroads, and a consequent loss
of business for the country mer-
chant. The proposition is to get
the money by issuing four per
cent certificates of indebtedness,
payable at the rate of 100000 a
year. Adams proposes to raise
81, 100000 the same way and ap-
portion it among the counties in
proportion to their tax valuation,
the money to be used in building
iron, stone or concrete bridges.
Each bridge so built is to have
an iron tablet bearing the inscrip-
ton: "Erected in 1908 in Com
remuneration Of the Fiftieth An
niversary of Minnesota's Admis-
sion to the Union" The money,
when paid to the counties, will be
apportioned by the county COM
missioners, who will determine
what proportion of the cost of
the bridges is TO be paid by the
townships or villages. Under
the provisions of the bill Randi
yohi county will receive $4,000.
Of course this would practically
be loan to be repaid, but better
so than to go into debt for the
advantage of the Twin Cities.

ANACOSTIA FLATS
BATTLE RENEWED
IN HOUSE TODAY
Representative McGavin
Urges Awarding of ST.
100000 Contracts.

Big gun No. l was fred today in the
campaign for the reclamation OF the
Anacostia flats.
Representative McGavin, OF Chicago.
and a member OF the House District
Committee, introduced in the House a
resolution authorizing the Secretary OF
Wa 90 enter into a contract for the
reclamation OF the fats in accordance
with surveys already made by the War
Department at a cost of approximately
1900. 600. to be paid for as appropriation
may be made by law from time to time.
The project, II carried out, will em-
brace the construction OF two retaining
walls and a channel 200 feet wide.
In discussing his resolution Mr.. Nc
Gavin said today:
Mr.. Sidney Bieber very kindly took
me over tie scene a day or two ago
in a steam launch. and L was enabled
90 study the deplorable conditions which
are a burden 90 that section Of the
city. we were there at low tide and
the odor from the fats was something
terrific. j IS undeniable that suciI
conditions are a serious menace TO the
health Of the people who live In that
community.
Il shall do everything possible TO
have this resolution adopted by the
House. and I feel that Congress will
realize the necessity OF reclaimIng these
flats"
Chairman Smith, OF the District Com
mittee. was also enthusiastic in his
comments on the McGavin resolution.
and said he hoped it would be adopted.
As this resolution onIv authorizes the
Secretary OF War 10 enter into the con-
tracts for the Improvement. it will be
necessary for the Committee on Appro-
priatlons to include I'm the District ap-
priatiOn bill sufficient money to get
the project under way. That such an
appropriation will be made Is the firm
belief Of Mr.. McGavin and other mem
bers who are interested in the improve
ment-
Immediately after the Christmas holi-
days Mr.. Bieber will take members Of
the District and Appropriations commit
tees to see exactly the difficulty and
disadvantages Of the present situation
along the Anacostia branch OF the Po-
tomaC.
When the project Is completed the

Appeal Ordered
In the Decision
Of Gas Monopoly

NEW YORK, Dec. oi.-Followlng the
decision OF United States Judge Hough
yesterday that me SO-cent gas law Is
unconstitutional, and that the Gas trust
may charge a dollar a thousand. At
torney General Jackson and Corporation
Counsel Pendlston gave orders TO take
an immediate appeal to the United
States Supreme Court
The highest court in the land will now
be asked TO review the celebrated case.
and. meanwhile. United States Commits
sioner Shields win remain the custodian
OF about $500. .OOO which he Is holding
to return to either the public or the gas
companies when the cOnstitutionaIity
OF s0-cent gas Is determined.
Judge Houghs decision, which is ex-
tremely long. takes the stand that. al
though the trust can make a profit Of
about 5J5 per cent at the S0-cent rate IL
is conhscatory on the part Of the State
20 fix a rate which allows only that
profit.
I have not had time to examine the
decision" declared Nj. Pendleton. ''but
my assistant states that one Of the most
important features IS the decision that
the law is conhscatory. If the gas com
panies can make 51z per cent on the
valuation OF $50, ,OOO,0 900. which Judge
Hough fixes. cannot see how that is
confscatory. New York bonds have
been sold at 31k per cent interest bearing
rate, most OF them are 4 Per cent bonds.
and at ~ per cent they are almost a
scandal"
The decision was not made public un-
I'll about p. m. yesterday. but from
the moment the stock exchange. openej
the quotations showed a steady rise m

and the Consolidated Gas Companies.
This recalled the fact that when Mas

yesterday confirmed by Judge Hough

cation OF a leak in Wall Street.

Briefly. Judge Hough finds that the
two laws making gas so cents to the

laws into effect offend that amend
