ACCEPTS NEW RATE BILLS
Great Northern Will Not Fight Min
nesota Enactments,

St. Paul, April 2: president Louis
w. Hill of the Great Northern road
has authorized L. G. Spooner of Nor
ris, chairman of the house railroad
committee, to announce that the Great
Northern had decided to accept the
2-cent passenger fare bill and the COM
modify freight rates contained in the
bill recently passed by the legisla-
ture.
The Great Northern's acceptance of
the two bills means that they must
generally at least be accepted by the
other roads in the state. At competi-
tive points at least the other roads
will be compelled to meet the cut and
under the long and short haul rule
that will compel reduction at inter-
mediate points.
The acceptance by the Great North
ern of the Spooner rate bill is not an
unmlxed victory for the state. The
rates are considerably higher than the
figures contained in the schedule which
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion determined upon as reasonable,
but 1t was thought by the legislature

Rome, April 2H.-Leroy Park, agent
Of the Panama canal commission, who

that the government had forbidden

that the men at work on the canal
earned 81 per day, are we'll fed, we'll
housed and humanely treated, adding
that he believed that 5000 emigrants
might leave Italy for Panama imme-

ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIMSELF
Man Who Claims I'll D Rishtful Heir
to Millions

London, April pa. F. S. Dundas,
claiming to be a son of the late Mrs.
Wurts Dundas of Philadelphia and
rightful heir to millions of dollars,
stood in the prisoners dock at Read
ing charged with breaking into pri-
vate dwelling with the intention of
committing suicide. The caretaker of
the house found note protruding
from the door. 1t was signed by Dun
das and said the writer was sick as
the result of not being able to find
employment; that for days he had
been without food and that he had
locked himself up with the intention
of ending his life. The police were
called and broke open the door. They
found that Dundas had been trying to
hang himself with the use of his sus.
penders and necktie but had failed to
take his life. When taken before
magistrate, who ordered him to be
held for further inquiries, Dundas
said that the orphan court at Phila-
delphia had decided against his claim,
but that he had appealed to the SUI
preme court of Pennsylvania.

on serious charges in this city, died
in St. Mary's hospital, Hoboken,
shortly before 3 a. m. His wife was at
his bedside, also his two brothers, who
came here at once on receiving word
Of his trouble.
The arrest of Benedict Gimbel, a
man of wealth, member of a prom
inent and prosperous firm, married
and of hitherto spotless reputation,
caused great surprise.
Thursday afternoon he was taken
from a cab in this city while in COM
pany with Ivor Clark, a sixteen-year-
old hoy, by two detectives who acted
on the complaint Of Clark's parents.
Gimbel, according to the detectives,
resorted to an attempt at bribery and
offered the detectives $4,000 if they
would release him. The offer was re-
fused and an additional charge made
against Gimbel.
Later Gimbel was released in heavy
bail and started ostensibly for his
home in Philadelphia. He never
reached there Instead he went to the
Palace hotel in Hoboken and there,
with jagged glass obtained from a
water pitcher which he broke, he cut
his throat in many places and gashed
his left wrist. At first his recovery
was hoped for, but later he gradually
became weaker and succumbed to his

GREAT ALARM IN FINLAND
Indications Point to Russian Military
Occupation.

st. Petersburg, April 2i.-The Off
GERS Of several of the cavalry and ar
tillery regiments of the guard have
been notified that maneuvers in Fin-
land may be substituted this year for
the usual exercises in the summer
camp at Krasnoye-Selo. The news has
caused considerable alarm among the
Films, who regard the step as a pre-
lude to the military occupation of Fin
land. The recent captures of cart
ridges from abroad, which are sup
posed to have been destined for i'm
portation into Russia through Finland,
and the capture of cartridges in Fin
land itself intended for the revolution
lists in that part of the empire, have
strengthened the hands of the anti
Finnish advisers of the emperor. Two
squadrons of torpedo boats have been
formed to guard the CULTS of Bothnia
and Finland and stations are being
established at Bomarsund, Nikolai
stan, Abo and other ports.

"Get interested in your town.
Stand by it. If a rich man starts

TEDDY IS AN AMERICAN.

Governor Burke in his Min
neapoIis address indicated that
he believes President Roosevelt
to be a pretty good democrat,
says the Grand Forks Herald
Other people believe him to be a
pretty good republican. The
fact seems to be that he is a
pretty good sort of American
citizen, and that he stands for
the best that there is in any
party, regardless of the name of
the party or it's peculiar views on
matters wherein they disagree.
The situation inthe parties seems
to be somewhat similar to that
among the churches. One church
makes a speciality of predestina-
ton, another advocates a particu-
lar method of baptism, another
stands for a democratic form of
government, while another
reaches back into the traditions
of the past for it's policy. Yet,
in their highest ideals, all are

IL has ever been true that distrust
such as We now observe In business

in the men and things distrusted. and
Is not a mere caprice of the public
mind. A. to politics the old maxim IL
that prudent jealousy Is the first duty
OF the citizen. And as to business.
the equally old maxim Is, let the
purchaser beware. The trouble in
business now Is that Ne have reached
the limit OF prosperity based on nc.
titious values. and the time has come
for paying the penalties incident to dis.
honesty and recklessness. In politics
the trouble is that our statesmen have
acted in bad faith with the taxpayers.
and have been found out. Hence this
universal distrust. which threatens
the existence Of the dominant politi.
cal party and the prevailing industrial
