CONFESS 2.cEnT FARE GAINS
Railroads Show Increased
Revenues and Business Under New

Minnesota Railroads Show Increased
Revenues and Business Under New
Law.
Minneapolis, Aug. 24.-The 2-cent
passenger rate has actually resulted in
increased earnings for Minnesota rail-
roads, according to the companies
own figures for May and June, fur
nished to the railroad commission.
The passenger revenue for those
months in Minnesota exceeded one
sixth of the Minnesota passenger earn
ings for 1906, except on the Great
Western and the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis. Figures for May and June of
last year are not available, but the av-
eraga of the first two months under
the 2-cent law is actually higher than
the average under the old rate, with
no increase in service necessary
On this showing the state will rest
Its case as to the 2-cent fare law, as
proof that the law is not confiscatory.
Affidavits embodying these figures
were served today on the attorneys for
the stockholders who are asking the
injunction against the rate laws.
Affidavits were also filed as to the
commodity rate law, showing that it is
not unreasonable or confiscatory.
These are more complicated, but In
their summary show that the average
rate per ton per mile under the law
will be higher than the actual revenue
per ton per mile last year, not only in
Minnesota, but over the entire lines.
These facts are deduced from the COM
panies own showing.

Says corteIyou's Plan to Meet Finan.
ciaI Stringeney Is Wise and Timely
NO Cause for Panic.

Washington, Aug. R4.-Comptroller
of the Currency Ridgley discussed the
plan which Secretary Cortelyou has
formulated to relieve a possible money
stringency this fall thru the distfibu-
tion of funds among the national
banks. He gives several reasons for
regarding the plan as wise and time
ly.'' He says. he can see no reason
why the demand for liquidation should
become so general as to produce any
thing like panic or commercial crisis.
In fact. he takes the most optimistic
view of the situation, maintaining that
the resources of the country never at
any time were so readily available for
progress and development as they are
at present.

BOY FRleHrFuLLY BURNED.
John Duceini, Dubuque, Goes Near
Stove With Benzine on His Clothes.

Special to Times Republican
Dubuque, Aug. 24-John Duccini, g
sixteen -year-old youth employed at the
Siegel Hat Works on Clay street, was
the victim of serious accident while
engaged at his labors Friday. He is
confined to his home in the north endl
suffering excruciatingly from burns
which reach from his head to his feet
and his condition Is serious!
He was in a yard to the rear OF
the hat works cleaning some hats with
benzine. when unknown to him, guam
tity of the fluid spilled out onto his
cloti :. and upon his approaching g
stove. his clothing at once became
aflame.
Had it not been for the fact that Mr.i
siegel overlook the youth, who was
running here and there half -crazed
with fright. and smothered him in AM
immense fur coat, it is highly prob-
able that the injuries would have res
suited fatally.

CABINET FUSS A MYTH.
Alleged Disagreement in Presidents s
Official Family Fancy Of Wall

Street.
Washington, Aug. 24-It seems to be
a part Of the Wall street campaign
against President Roosevelt to an
nounce, whenever the opportunity Of
fers, that certain members of his cabi-
net are dissatisfied with his radical
ism and are to resign. Several weeks
ago such a story was industriously and
plausibly circulated about Secretary
Root, and more recently about Mr. Ba-
con, his first assistant. Secretary Cor
telyou is also on the list of those who
can no longer put up with "the presi-
dents foolishness." The latest rumor
concerns Mr.. Bonaparte, the attorney
general. He is not to resign, but is
to be kicked out, not because he has
failed to support the executive poll
cies, like Root, Bacon and Cortelyou,
but because he has supported them
too strenuously. and by injudicious
interviews in the newspapers set the
Wall street teeth on edge.
1t is scarcely worth while to say
that none of these rumors Is true, and
yet, perhaps, it is just as well to make
such an announcement in order to give
further emphasis>to the style Of cam
paign that Is being waged against the
presidents policies.

rAMMANY MONEY TAINTED.
Striking TeIegraphers May Reject
5000 Contribution.

Chicago. Aug. 24.-The $1,000 contri-
button which Tammany Hall made te
tbs telegraphers' strike fund in New
York yesterday may be returned as the
re.ult Of opposition to the acceptance
Of the money which developed at the
strikers mass meeting at Brands hall
in the afternoon. Speakers declared
the money was tainted" and urged the
union leaders not to touch it.,
The news that Charles F. Murphy,
leader OF Tammany Hall, had sent ST.
00O, to the union officials and was ready
to give $4,000 more was the most cheer
ing information that reached the local
leaders during the day. They were
not prepared for the sentiment that
flashed up in the mass-meeting. In
che evening there was considerable dis
cussion as to returning the money at
once.
Mother" Jones, the well known la
Dor agitator, was the most bitter in
her attack on the Tammany contribu-
ton.
l LET Tammany's money alone" she
shouted to the 500 strikers in the hall.
ut won't do the strike any good Moth

hall The money that comes out of
there is bribe. I hope the union of
fcials won't accept it."
@ Her words were greeted with ap-
plause, and when the speaker an
nounced her willingness to go out and
collect $1,000 herself rather than have
the union keep the money the cheers
were redoubled.
President Small probably will go to
New York today In order to address a
mass-meeting in that city tomorrow,
and he will look into the Tammany
contribution.
An official Of the union said in the
evening regarding the acceptance Of
money donations from outside sources.
"The union has never laid down any
rule concerning contributions of this
sort Our aim has been to get the
money wherever we could. think the
majority of the officials will not raise
questions as to the 'taintedness' of Mr..
Murphy's donation, but will accept it
and use it in good cause and thus
remove the 'taint' If there is any cling
ing to it."
