WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov 7.-Presi-

statement regarding the elections held

The president regards the result Of the
elections as extremely gratifying" He has
sent letter OF hearty congratulation TO
MI Heney on the result in San Francisco.
The victory in New Jersey was pre-

istration. He had carried New Jersey by
$1,000 and two years afterward the repub-
lican candidate for governor had $500. the

the case Of Judge Fort.
AS compared with the elections next
preceding the last presidential election. we
have done decidedly better than We did
In 1903. Then. as Tuesday, Rhode island
and Maryland went against US: but this
year we have won sweeping victory in
Kentucky for the first time since McEIin-
ley's irst election; and the victory In
Massachusetts was also remarkable The
showing In Pennsylvania and Nebraska Is
equally good. The showing in New York
state a whole was excellent, far better
than was the case prior to the last pres-
Dental election.
That the result in Manhattan was due

generally. The presidents own home

Conner SAYS WHAT he THINKS
GovernOr OF Alabama Insists ON Con-
troll OF Railroads by the
state.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Nov. I'm his
message TO the special session OF the leRis-
lature today Governor b. b. Conner in
sisted that the control and regulation of
the railroads by the state is a question
more important than the making OF rates
or any other matter, since 1t involves the
question of right OF the state to control its
internal affairs. The message goes on to
say that President Smith of the Louisville
& Nashville railroad, has held out against
the Alabama laws, while others put them
in effect has defied the state and its peo-
pie by conducting a lobby at the capitaI
and openly admitting that his company
has influenced legislation in the past; has
called the governors of Alabama and
Georgia populistic has raised rates over
night in defiance of state laws, and has
generally refused to recognize the right OF
the state to make laws applying to trans
portation companies. That the Alabama
rate laws are not confiscatory is evidenced
the governor says by the fact that thew
prevail in other nearby states and pro-
vide profit. Financial troubles have not
grown out OF the laws made to control
corporations but out OF the rascality of
the high financiers, and the producer OF
the cotton of the south is now coming TO
save the country from panic. The Louis
vile g. Nashville railroad is charged with
manipulating to prevent use OF waterways.

BANDITS ROB DAKOTA BANK
Hold People of Town at Bay and
Finally Escape with the
Cash.

CANoVA, S. D., Nov. 7.-Holding the
entire town at bay at the point of guns,
seven bandits blew the Interstate bank
safe here between and o'clock this
morning, secured $500 in cash and es-
capped under cover of darkness. leaving
not the slightest clue.
Aroused by the three explosions at the
bank, which followed in quick succession
the occupants OF the hotel across the
street, clad only in their night robes
rushed pellmell TO the street only to be
confronted by the armed bandits on guard
Get back into bed. or wen blow the
whole bunch into eternity" coolly COM
manded the leader of the gang.
Several of them hesitated for a moment
but only for a moment. for volley Of
bullets whizzed past them, Terror stricken
the guests rushed for their rooms and ex-
tinguished the lights.
Down the street a few blocks from the
bank light was burning in a home With
gun swung over his shoulder bandit
made for the house and commanded the
owner to extinguish 1t.
While two of the robbers worked at the
bank, the other five guarded the streets
and alleys. At first the gang broke into
hardware store and stole a number of
suns fIOul liltte lley went TO the black
smith shop and secured tools, which they
used in their operations at the bank.
Securing the $500 in cash, the robbers
made their getaway quickly, two bandits
carrying the money. guarded both in front
and I'm the rear by the other members cf
the gang. So terror-stricken were the res
dents OF the town that they feared TO
follow. the robbers escaping without any
one knowing which direction they had
taken.
A report received from ten miles up the
Milwaukee line this morning said that a
handcar with several men. was seen speed
ing north at 4 o'clock, but the local au-
thorities are doubtful If these are the men
How they came and how they escaped is
mystery.
Everything OF value was taken with the
exception OF SlOeO which the cashier of the
bank had hidden away the night before
Although wrecked and badly crippled H.
naneiaily the bank opened for business
this morning, wealthy residents making up
the amount stolen so that business could
continue. The bank is fully insured and

OMAHA ASKS EQUAL SHOW

YARD FEE ON GRAIN THE ISSUE
Local Dealers VIII Request state
Commission 90 Require Free
Movement of Cars within

Grain dealers of Omaha will ask the
Nebraska Railroad commission. which
Will hold a hearing at the Commercial
club Friday, for an order applying to all
roads in Nebraska to make one necessary
move of grain in the Omaha yards. free of
charge. as is done in 81. Louis and Chi
cago, and. until recently, in Kansas
City. The Northwestern railroad has
made this move without charge since the
beginning of a primary grain market at
Omaha.
The commission also will hear protests
Of Omaha shippers against the Missouri
Pacific advancing switching charges on
various car loads Of merchandise from
so cents to $3.50 per car. The Missouri
Pacific asked permission Of the commits
sion to make the advance some time ago.
but the commission has withheld it's sane
tion until a hearing could be held at
Omaha to give all shippers hearing.
BY far the most important part of the
hearing will concern the charges mado
by the Union Pacific and Burlington
roads Of 81 to SO per car for moving cars
from the inspection tracks to the eleva-
tors and to connecting lines.
Omaha Gets small End.
Since the grain business assumed
two railroads have made charge Of
from 81 to SO per car at this place. while
the grain dealers allege the Union Pacific
always has made the necessary moves in
Kansas City free of charge. When the
Omaha dealers protested against the dis
elimination a short time ago. the Union
Pacific, rather than cease making the
charge at Omaha, began the practice Of
charging 81 per car in Kansas City for
cars switched to connecting lines, but
makes no charge for making one necessary
move from inspection tracks to the ele-
vators ..
Grain dealers OF Omaha feel that as the
rates on grain in Nebraska to Omaha are
higher than in neighboring states, the
Burlington and Union Pacific roads car.
AFFORD to place cars on the inspection
tracks and make the subsequent move
either to elevators or connecting lines
free of charge.
As the charges on several hundred car
loads of grain each day amount to
considerable sum and work TO a dsad-
vantage for the Omaha market together
with the high grain rates from Ne
braska points, the commission will do a
great deal TO encourage the growth OF the
Omaha grain market by giving the order
asked, according to dealers receiving lafge
shipments which must be switched after
arrival, either to connecting lines or ele-
vators. ~
