ruptcy against the corporation Mon
day. The receivers qualified in a
joint bond of 100000.
The failure of Milliken Bros. is said
by William Nelson Cromwell, counsel
for the corporation, to be due to un-
derestimating the cost Of completing
the company's plant at Mariners Har-
Dor, S. l., and the depletion of the
working capital of the company. The
company is doing large business and
the plant is running day and night.
The manufacture of steel will be con
tinued by the receivers.
Mr.. Cromwell says the liabilities of
the company are about $6,500,000 of
which 100000 is represented by
first mortgage bonds. The assets, in
Gliding the plant and real estate, are
valued at $7,5OO,O0O.

ULTIMATUM TO COMPANY.
Detroit Street Car Men Insist on In
crease of Wages.

crease of Wages.
Detroit, Mich, June 12.-At mass
meeting of the 1900 members of the
local Street Railway Mems union the
men voted to give the Detroit United
railway forty-eight hours in which ito
either grant: their recent demand for
% cents per hour or. submit the ques-
ton to arbitration. Failure to meet
this demand by the company, it is
said by leaders among the men, will
probably result in strike. The men
several weeks ago demanded relief
from alleged injustices in connection
with the operation of *'tripper cars"
and an increase to fiat wage of %
cents per hour General Manager T.
w. Brooks Of the Detroit railway Of
fered them a settlement by which
they would get full pay for all time
they are forced to be on duty between
runs in connection with the trippers,
but did not answer the demand for an
increase to % cents. The rejection of
the companys offer and the ultimatum
to them was by a unanimous vote.

MEETING OF EMPLOYERS.
Development of Trade Schools Sub
ject of Consideration.


Indianapolis, June 12.-The conven-
tion of men from national associations
that are large employers of skilled
labor held its first business session
during the day. The convention was
called for the purpose Of considering
matters pertaining to the condition
and additional development of trade
schools. The attendance is far great
er than was anticipated In addition
to the officials of employing associa-
lions many others interested in the in
dustrial training of young men have
come tc the convention for advancing
the interest in trade schools. Those
favoring the movement argue that the
time has come when the countrys in
dustrial affairs demand more skilled
work1nen il the expansion of indus
tries is not to be hindered and re-
stricted. 1t is argued that the old ap-
premiership system has become made
quate and it is denied that the move
ment has for its object the education
of men who might be used as strike
breakers in time of labor disputes.

party and there is no reason why he
should enter into any combination
with the Progressives. Reports have
entirely misrepresented the confer
ence at Washington and Can do no
good"
General Wood laughs at the idea of
any combination trying to bring on
war and says that the trouble is due
to the agitation of several dissatisfied
persons who thought they saw an op-
portunity to make some noise; that
Japan does not want to so to war with
the United States.
G. r. Takahashi, who represented
the Seattle Japanese society at Wash.
ingtOn, said:
"The whole question Is too absurd
for comment can speak unqualified
ly on behalf of the business men and
merchants of the Japanese race. War
is not wanted and the trouble is due
to the agitation Of a small party who
would like to disturb the high order
of friendship that exists between the
United States and Japan."

behalf of the government, announced
the government determination to en-

DOUBTS ITS JUSTICE
Governor Hughes Vetees Two=Cent
Passenger Rate Bill.
FEARS INJURIOUS EFFECTS

Fact That Railroads Have Been Guilty
of Grossly Improper Acts Does Not
Require or Warrant Arbitrary Re-
prisaIs by the State.
Albany, N. Y, June Ex-Governor
Hughes has vetoed the bill instituting
a flat passenger rate of cents mile
on every railroad system in the state
more than $50 miles long.
In the course of his veto message
the governor pointed out that "the
passage of the bill was not preceded
by legislative investigation or suitable
inquiry under the authority of the
state. Nor is the fixing of this rate
predicated on reports or statistics Off
cially collected which would permit a
fair conclusion as to the justice of its
operation with reference to the rail
roads within it's purview.''
The governor says also in part:
Injustice on the part of railroad
corporations toward the public does
not justify injustice on the part Of the
state toward the railroad corporations.
The action Of the government should
be fair and impartial and upon this
every citizen, whatever his interest,
Is entitled to insist. The fact that
those in control of railroad corpora
ions have been guilty Of grossly inn
proper financiering and of illegal and
Injurious determinations in charges
points clearly to the necessity of eff
fective state action, but does not re-
quire or warrant arbitrary reprisals."
The governor refers to the public
service commissions provided for in
The law recently enacted and adds that
provision is made for inquiry into
matters of freight rates and passenger
fares and for the fixing of such rates
as shall be found just and reasonable.
If a passenger rate of cents a mile
is just and reasonable it can be fixed.
If 1t is not just and reasonable it
should not be fixed"

NO WAR WITH JAPAN.
Secretary Taft Says Not to Mind
"Scarehead" Dispatches.

Milwaukee, June 12.-Secretary of
War William H. Taft, in an interview
here, says there will be no war with
Japan.
He has faith that the United States
and Japan will continue their way
along most peacefully together. The
secretary said:
'War with Japan? Don't you believe
1t. You can quote me as saying that I
have an abiding faith that the United
States and Japan will continue their
way along most peacefully together.
You can rest assured of that. Never

The TEACHERS TRAINING
SCHOOL BEGINS JUNE "a
Every Teacher Should Attend, as the
Meeting Will Be of lncaI-
cuIabIe Benefit.

The State Teachers Training
School to be held in Bemidji will
open June oath, with one of the
ablest corps of instructors to be
found in the state. The sub jects
have been so arranged that their
work will be that of specialists in
the different studies offered. In
this respect, Miss Richards of Du-
luth says: Il purpose touching upon
every phase of primary work, in
both first and second grades, and
giving as much of all as I can get
into those five weeks. The reading
and special subjects, viz: Music,
drawing and physical culture, shall
be glad to give special attention and
would be glad to give the reading
and, physical culture aside from the
primary, but prefer to give the other
two only in connection with that
phase of the work."
1t should be remembered that
civics is now a required subject.
Heretofore the department of pub
lie instruction permitted a condi-
ton in civics and any one other sub
ject and allowed the usual condi-
tional certificate. If any applicant
fails to pass in any two subjects, he
falls below the grade. This ar
rangement takes effect beginning
with the next teachers examination.
Certificates of perfect attendance
will be given in addition to having
the number of days attended re-
corded upon the certificate.
The idea is to make the training
school useful and helpful to the
teacher in as many ways as possible.
In view of the attendance and
the work thus done, it is hoped that
there will be sufficient number of
first and second-grade teachers to
fill the schools of the county.

GRAZING WAR IN IRELAND
Crowd Of Midnight Raiders Put Police
to FLIGHT

Dublin, June 1.-THE grazing war
is spreading rapidly and becoming
popular. The most serious affair
which has yet occurred was near
Athenry, Galway. A large posse of
police opposed crowd of people who
were driving cattle off farm at mid
night The raiders stoned the officers,
several of the latter were badly hurt
and the sergeant in command ordered
the police to fire. The latter fired re-
peatedly volleys at the crowd, who re-
turned the fire, finally compelling the
officers to retreat, when the peasants
finished their raid.
Two or three farmhouses have been
fired into at night recently. The gen
eral sympathy Of the masses is with
the people, even in the cases of many
public officials, which ties the govern
ment's hands.
