WOULD KEEP STATE CONTROL.
Railroad Commissioners Are Against
 President RooseVet's Plan.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Decided opin- ions are entertained by members of the Association of State Railroal Com missioners, now in session here, re garding the encroachment of national authority upon state rights. but none of the commissioners, not even those who are loudest in their denunciatory private talk, will express criticism pub liely in an interview.
 Confidentially a majority of the com missoners are opposed to thespresi- dents recommendations concerning federal control, and some of them have arguments to offer in addition to the selfish motive of wishing to keep their jobs, but all decline to permit their names to be used
 Sentiment among the commission. CTS warrants the expectation that the convention will adopt a resolution urg ing congress to amend the laws so that in cases of conflict between national and state authorities over the enforce ment of the law, as recently occurred in North Carolina, the state courts viii be given the rights of way and the federal courts will be prohibited from taking the initiative

THREATENED MANY PEOPLE
DENVER DYNAMlTER CONFESSES
 TO SENDING LETTERS.
SENT DYNAMITE TO GOVERNOR
His Demands Varied from $1o,o0o to $5o,ooo and Aggregated $19o,ooo.
 Handwriting Gives CleW.

Denver, Col Oct. 11.-Kemp V. Biglow. the young clerk from Bryan, O., who mailed dynamite packages last Monday to Governor Henry A. Buch- tel and several other prominent citi- Zens of Denver, confessed Thursday that he was also the author of letters mailed on Aug. 29 last to the Burling- ton railroad, the Moffat road, the Adams Express Co, the Daniels X Fisher Stores Co, the May Shoe and Clothing Co., and to Postmaster Paul Sours, demanding amounts varying from s10.000 to $50 900 and aggregat- ing $l90,000.
 These letters contained threats that, unless the demands were compiled with, trains would be wrecked with dynamite and the Daniels x Fisher and May stores and the federal build ing in this city would be blown up and C. NJ. Day local agents of the Adams Express Co.,, would be killed within thirty days.
 Biglow's confession was made tc Chief of Police Michael Delaney in the presence of MT Day and John F. Val lery. general agent of the Burlington railroad in Denver.
 Suspicion was directed to Biglow by the similarity of handwriting in the threatening letters and the address or the internal machines mailed this week to Governor Buchtel and others
 At first Biglow denied the aecusa tion that he wrote the blackmailine letters, but he finally broke down anc confessed.
 He will be turned over to the fed eral authorities and prosecuted on the charge of using the mails to defraud

BIG GAME IN MISSOURI.
President Roosevelt and MT. Bryan
 Expected to Hunt Together.

POrtageyille Mo, Oct. 12-The Lit tie River" which runs but a short dis tance from Portageville, is furnishing disciples of the lamented Walton with all the sport imaginable In the Little River have been taken, in the past week, hundreds of pounds of bass weighing from one to two pounds have also been caught, but they are not sought by the real sportsmen.
 Located on the banks of the Little River is the famous Dinnell Brothers clubhouse, which is the headquarters for the Noble Sportsmen's club of St. Louis, which has on it's member. ship roll many of the prominent men of the state, and includes a score of milliOnaires. The Dnnell Brothers clubhouse, just at this time, is the rod. Surrounding it are dense woods, inhabited. by wild fowl and big game During the past week number of deer were seen within half mile of the clubhouse, and wild turkeys at night disturbed the slumber of the sportsmen. As soon as the season opens the slaughter will begin.
 In the same tract of woods and mountainous country bear, catamount and bob tails abound and are often killed by the hunters. If it were gen erally known that there is within the confines of Missouri such a desirable hunting ground on the Little River, near Portageville, the chances are that President Roosevelt would have come here instead of going to the cane brakes of Louisiana.
 As soon as the season opens for big game, a deer and bear hunt will be arranged. and a special invitation is sued to both Theodore Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan. The hunt ing will be done largely on horseback and only shotguns. loaded with buck shot, used in the party, as it has been found that rifles Of large caliber are more dangerous to the hunters than to the game.

BEAR AUD[S ROOSEVELT A GOOD-SlZEO ANIMAL ESCAPES PRESIDENT BECAUSE OF A1-
 SENCE OF DOGS.
HAVE FOUND NEW TRAILS
The Weeks Strenuous Search Lanes Hounds and Another Supply Is Sought-WiIl Not Change
 Hunting Camp.

Stamboul. La, Oct. 1.-The whole countryside turned out Sunday Tn ex- pectation of seeing the president take his departure from Stamboul for the south. but in view of his change of plans was, of course, disappointed. There were general expressions of satisfaction. however, over his recon sideration of his determination to move to Tensas Parish, for now that the change is not to be made, Stam' boul confesses candidly that she would have been much chagrined to have her distinguished visitor go away with an empty bag before the time originally fixed.
 General confidence in his success in the new camp on Bear Lake continues buovant. and the reports from there are favorable. Indeed, it is stated that number of fresh trails were discovered Saturday, and that on one occasion the party came upon a good sized bear, but that on account of the absence of the dogs, he escaped. The hope is very strong that when the hunt is resumed today either this an imal or another member of his family will soon be run to earth.
 Dogs Are Badly Lamed.
 Many of the dogs used in last weeks strenuous search of the barren up-country are reported to be badly lamed and an effort is being made to replace them with fresh animals.
 It is not believed by the presidents associates that he will now make any change. but he has made no plans. All will depend on the developments early in the week There Is no doubt of the presence of the game now, but it is very shy and may disappear in the presence of the hunters, as it did from the Monticello camp.
 The order for the special train, which was to have made it's appear ance Sunday, was cancelled Saturday night, but it will be renewed if the president manifests disposition to go south. The Tensas Parish people are reported as much disappointed over the failure of the president to carry out his program for a visit to their section.

low rates are made and classify it as
sixthe class freight. The commodity
ate heretofore in effect on lumber
shipments from Chicago TO New York
was 20 cents per 100 pounds, while
the sixth class freight rate is % cents
per 100 pounds. Railway officials de
clare that the raise is made necessa-
ry because of the increase in cost of
transportation, resulting from higher
wages to employees and h higher
price of all railway supplies and
equipments. Lumbermen from the AT
lantic to the Pacific are complaining
of the new rate and complaints are
