SAYS INJUNCTION DOES NOT STOP
HIM FROM ENFORCING RATE
ORDER.
ten RAILROADS IMPLICATED
APPEAL TO FEDERAL COURTS
DOES NOT BIND STATE LEGAL
DEPARTMENT.

st. Paul, Feb. 13.-Attorney General
Young made new and startling move
yesterday in the legal battle for lower
freight rates.
Suits against ten. railroads We're
filed in the district court of Ramsey
county yesterday to enforce the rail-
road commissions order reducing com.
modify rates. In the name of the state
the attorney general asks for a writ Of
mandamus against each railroad COM
pany to compel 1t to obey the commits.
sion's order.
The commission itself has been en-.
Joined by the federal court from ell
forcing this ORDER According to Attor-
ney General Young this does not tie
the states hands at all. He has not
been enjoined, and he is the official
charged with the duty of enforcing
compliance with the order.
Duty Imposed by Law.
In an interview Mr. Young said:
I'VE have commenced suit in the
name of the state against each one OF
the railroad companies to enforce the
orders of the railroad commission, just
as though no injunction proceedings
had been instituted. The injunction
proceedings were directed against the
railroad and warehouse commissioners
exclusively, and they are not neces-
sary parties to proceedings in the
name Of the state to enforce the states
orders. The state cannot be restrain:
ed or sued without its consent, and 1
contend that in performing my duty as
legal officer of the state l cannot be
restrained, because that would be in
effect an action against the state. In
bringing these suits we are not en-.
deavoring to exhibit any preference for
one court over another. The law makes
it my duty to bring such actions in the
district court of the state, and the
suits have therefore been filed in that
court"

and so quickly did the steamer sink
that there was no time to return below
for warmer clothing.
Those who had no opportunity to
clothe themselves succumbed long be-
fore they reached shore, and even
those who were fortunate enough to be
fully dressed endured suffering and
frost bites of most serious nature.

STEAMER sunk BY COLLISION !
THE MOST APPALLING DISASTER
THAT EVER OCCURRED IN NEW
ENGLAND WATERS.

Block Island, r. l., Feb. IA ma
rine disaster with an appalling loss of
life and entailing suffering almost be-
yond the limit of human endurance
came to light yesterday when a life
boat Of the Joy line steamer Larch-
mont, bound from Providence to New
York, drifted into Block Island harbor.
In the boat were several bodies OF
men who had died from the effects OF
long hours Of exposure to death
dealing temperature
Awful Tale of Disaster.
In the boat also were eleven whose
suffering was so intense that they
seemed oblivious to the fact that death
was in their midst and that they es-
capped only by virtue of their ability to
Withstand the rigor of zero weather i'll
an open boat at sea.
The boat brought tale of disaster
that has rarely been equaled i'll New
England waters, and ii is believed that
when the final count is made 1t will be
found that not less than $50 lives were
lost. Following closely in the wake OF
the solitary lifeboat came bodies, cast
upon the beach by angry waves.
Burden of Grim Death.
Then came lifeboats and RATS. Each
Of them have their burden of grim
death as we'll as load Of suffering
humanity, and each brought a tale OF
horror, of suffering and of despair.
The steamship officials estimate that
about $50 passengers and crew OF
fifty were on board the steamer when
she left Providence Monday night:
Forty-eight bodies reached these
shores yesterday, and nineteen We're
alive when taken from the lifeboats.
Taking the estimated figures Of the
steamship officials as a basis. there
are still 1888 persons to account for.
Cause OF Accident in Dispute.
The cause of the accident has not
been satisfactorily explained. 1t oc-
Cured just off Watch Hill. about IL
o'clock Monday night, when the three
masted schooner Mary knowlton
crashed into the steamers port side,
amidships. Capt. George McVey ut
the Larchmont declares that the
Knowlton suddenly sweryed from her
course. luffed up into the wind and
crashed into his vessel.
Capt. Haley OF the Knowlton asserts
that the steamer did not give his YES
sci sufficient sea room and that the
collision occurred before he could take
his schooner out of the path of the
oncoming steamer.
Steamer Sinks Quickly.
The steamer, with a huge hole torn
in her side, was so seriously damaged
that she sank to the bottom i'll less
than half an hour. The Knowlton
after she had backed away from the
wreck began to fill rapidly, but her
crew manned the pumps and kept her
afloat until she reached a point OF
Quondchontaug, where they put out in
the life boats and reached shore.
There were no fatalities on the schoon-
