Decision Favors Great Northern.

ST. PAUL, March 28.-The state
supreme court today upheld the Great
Northern railroad in its contention
that it. had the right to issue the $780,
0O0, 900 of stock authorized by the
board of directors some two months
ago and which was enjoined by Attor-
ney General Young, who claimed tn at
the company should first come before
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission and submit to an examina-
tion to show the necessity and pur.
pose of the issue. This contention of
the state was upheld by Judge Hallam
in the Ramsey county district court,
who ordered an injunction to issue.
The supreme court today reverses that
decision. The opinion of the court
was unanimous.

important If True.

ALTOONA, Pa, March 29.-The in
genuity of an aged, hard working
cobbler, John Fillmore, has succeeded
in bringing the waste product OF ashes
into service, and by means OF pre-.
pared compound he makes them burn
more readily than coal. He has
applied for patent. BY taking a
small quantity of his substance and
mixing it with little water, then
sprinkling it over the ashes and stirr-
ing them up with coal be makes them
ready to burn,
Fillmore took as a basis for his ex.
pertinent the getting of lye from ashes.
He worked long before he made the
discovery. The ashes from a ton OF
coal are converted into fuel with a
small portion OF the compound and
when burned only few small clinkers
are left. A test was given at q local
electric illuminating establishment.
One of the boilers was heated by
E.llmore's method and the nine others
with bituminous coal. The one furn-
ace produced greater heat than the
nine others combined.

MAY PREVENT STRIKE.
Railroad Managers Would Settle La
Dor Troubles BY Arbitration.

CHICAGO, March 28.--The represen-
tatives of the trainmen and conduc.
tors today decided that they will
ignore the proposition of the man.
ayers of the western railroads look
ing to arbitration under the Erdman
act and voted to persist in their
propositions for strike. They de-
clare that a walkout is imminent un.
less the managers make some further
concessions.
The managers have announced that
they will invoke the aid of the Erdman
act of congress, which provides for
arbitr alton of such questions. The
Erdman law provides that board of
arbitration to consist of three men,
bers, of which the railroads are to
choose one, the men the second and
the two the third. If no third arbi.
traitor is selected within three days,
the chairman of the interstate com.
merce commission is to name him with
the approval of the labor commits
sion.
The general managers tonight, for
the first time, admitted that the situa.
tion was grave. The crisis was in
tensified by the fact th at no compromise
had been effected with the representa-
tives of the $1,000 locomotive hremen
who are here, negotiating for an in.

will look at the matter in different
