Pittsburg, Pa, April 1.-The new
coal freight rates recently announced
by the trunk line railroads, an ad-
vance of from five to ten per cent over
the old schedule, went into effect to-
day. The coal companies In Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, Penn

creased cost of operation is given by
the railroads as the reason for the ad-
vance in rates. A slight addition to
the price of coal will probably result
from the advance in railroad rates.

court today filed an opinion reversing
the finding of the Polk county district
court at Crookston, in the case of Ed.
Erickson against the Crookston Water
works, Power and Ligh company.
The Waterworks company had title
to lands and put in artesian wells and
pumped so much water that all other
wells fed by the same artesian basin
went dry. Erickson was one of those
who suffered and brought suit to pre-
vent the company from depicting the
supply. The district court decided
against him, but the supreme court re-
versed that finding, holding that the
company had no right to use its wells
so that neighbors suffered injury.

Washington, April 1.-The secretary
of the interior has granted the appli-
cation of l.. L. Mum to use the waters
of Bear and Mud lakes in Utah for
irrigation and power purposes. The
matter has been held up for long
time because Mr.. Nunn's plans were
believed to interfere with the govern
ment project for the utilization of the
waters in Bear lake in one of its own
land reclamation projects. In the
decision reached today the govern
ment agrees to get out of the way tenn
porarily, but it will retain the right
to proceed with its own work If Mr..

ments. Bear lake is claimed to be the
largest natural reservoir suitable for

Phoenix, Ariz., April Like q

pleading of the famous military shade
of much maligned Yuma, begging for
blankets, is the despairing wall that
is going up from Arizona gamblers
today, owing to the enforcement of
the new territorial law against gam
bling. Authorities state that the law
will be strictly enforced and no
games of any kind will be allowed
to run within the confines of the ter
ritory. Gambling was ended in this
city two months ago by the operation
of municipal ordinance. The pub
lie school fund of Arizona will lose
about $4,000 a year, formerly COL
lected through the medium of licenses
on gambling houses, by the enforce
ment of the new law. The measure
has the support of large part of the
citizens of the territory.

EX.CONGRESSMAN GROW DEAD.
Was Youngest Member of Congress
Way Back In 1851.

way Back In 1851.
Associated Press to The Evening Times
Binghamton, N. Y, April 1.-Former
Congressman Galusha A. Grow, died
at his home in Glenwood, Penn, this
afternoon as result OF general
breakdown attributed to old age.
Mr.. Grow was elected to congress
from the Wilmot district of Pennsyl-
vania as the youngest member of that
body in 1851, and after retirement
from public life for nearly forty years,
he re-entered the house of representa-
tives as Congressman at large from
Pennsylvania fourteen years ago.
When he retired four years ago, his
public service in the house extended
over the longest period, although not
continuous service of any man who
ever sat in that body.
During the ante bellum days, he was
one of the best known men in the
United States and in 1854 he came
within one vote of being nominated for
vice president in place of Andrew
death Of Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Grow was elected speaker of the
house of representatives in 1861, and
occupied that position during the first
two years of the war, until his retire.
ment from congress in 1868.
Mr.. Grows greatest public service
was as the father of the homestead
law, through which measure many mil
lion acres of western farm lands were
opened up to settlement by home
steaders, an act which has been credit
ed with doing more than any other
thing for the development of the
great west.
Mr. Grow was the last surviving
member of family of six children.
He was never married.

Boise, Idaho, April 1.-The district
court of Ada county, probably destined
to be the most famous judicial session
ever held in the west by reason of the
coming trial of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, opened here today. 1t is ex-
pected that Judge Wood will set the
date for the trial of the labor leaders
today or tomorrow. Lawyers for both
sides have declared their readiness for
trial by the first of next month. The
defendants, who are charged with COM
plicity in the murder of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg, will be tried separately.
Haywood will probably be the first to
be placed on trial, and If he is ac-
quilted the prosecution of the other
defendants will be dropped. It is con-
sidered here that there is little likeli-
hood of a conviction. The accused men
have now been in Jail over a year. The
trial has been postponed four times.
