MINNESOTA LEADS
NEW RAIL FIGHT.
Calls Convention of Commemorative
Passing Two-Cent Fare Laws
State Versus Government.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 3.-lSpeclal.1
Attorney General Young announced to-
day that he had sent d request to the
governors and attorneys general Of ONO,
Indiana, New York, Illinois and other
states where the Legislatures have
adopted a 2-cent railroad rate asking tor
a conference to take whatever action may
be deemed advisable regarding the pres
EN-: rate situation.
This action on the part of the governor
and the attorney general of Minnesota is
the result of an attack made last week
by the stockholders of eight railroads
against the recently enacted 2 cent and
reduced freight rates in the United
States courts which Mr.. Young contends
is antagonistic to state supervision OF
railroads.
What may develop into something
most significant is found in the fact that
the matter of states rights versus those
of the federal government will come up
for discussion and there is a great prob
ability that this conference will have
much political influence in the next presl-
Dental election. With all of the '2-cent
fare states" lined up against wide fed
eral authority they will and can WELD
a mighty influence in 1905.

WILL WIPE OUT VALHALLA.
Big Artificial Lake Will Take the Place
of the Village.

1t is said that within few weeks the
work of condemning a large section of
the village of Valhalla, in Westchester
county, in behalf of the city of New
York, will begin. This will result in a
few, months in the village being prac-
ticaily wiped out and transformed into
big artificial lake to give New York
city an additional supply of water. 1t is
estimated that about $13,OO00OO will be
expended in Valhalla for the water sup
ply Improvements, while at Scarsdale
$17,OO0OO0 will be spent for an immense
filtration plant.
The legal proceedings for the condem-
nation of the lands needed are in the
hands of Assistant Corporation Counsel

for years has been in charge of this
work for New York, city. The Kensico
reservoir is to be enlarged to an area of
nearly four square miles, with a capacity

"BIG STICK NEAR COAL ROADS.
Antitrust Suits May Be Filed in Tel
Days.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3.-It
was stated at the department of justice
today that report from Messrs. Todd
and Simpson. appointed some months ago
by the President to investigate both the
anthracite and bituminous coal carrying
railroads with reference to any violations
of the Sherman antitrust act had been
received by the attorney general.
Mr.. Bonaparte has given the matter
careful consideration and it was the sub
ject of conference a few days ago be-
tween him and Chairman Knapp of the
interstate commerce commission. The at
torney general today said that no action
has as yet been decided upon as it is
intended to submit certain questions Of
Importance, both as to the law and the
policy of the department, to the Presi-
dent for his consideration.
AS to the report Of Messrs. Todd and
Simpson concerning the roads engaged in
the bituminous trade, the department is
very reticent. but there is reason to be-
lieve that action will be begun within
the next ten days against the Pennsyl-
vania, Philadelphia Il Reading, Chesa-
peake Il Ohio, the Atlantic Coast line
the Seaboard Airline and the Beach
