MINNESOTA MAY Dust
STANDARD OIL COMPANY

st. p aul, Mimi, June 10.-The
state of Minnesota is to institute suit
to Gust the Standard Oil Company
from the state. The charge to be
made against it will be that of dis
elimination in the price of oils be-
tween various communities in the
state, contrary TO the provisions Of the
Hinton law passed at the last session
of the legislature.
The suit is the result of the com
plant recently filed with the secre-
tary Of state by certain Independent
oil dealers. The matter was referred
to.the attorney general, as is required
by the Hintc law, and that official has
now selected Dan Richard, of Mime
apolis, who drafted the bill under
which prosecution is to be made, to
prepare the case for presentation in
court
The Hinton law prohibits any deal
er in oils from discriminating between
municipalities OF communities and
provides that the price must be the
same in ail parts OF the state, after all
lowing for the difference in freight
charges The penalties for violation
of the law are very severe.

ST0LYPIN HANDS in
HIS RESIGNATION

st. Petersburg, June S.--Premier
Stolypin has rendered his resignation
to the cazr. The long drawn ont con
fiict between the douIna and the min
istry has evidently been more than
the successor to Count White can
stand. His weakness and vascillation
have estranged practically all the
supporters he relied ON when he under
took to reconcile the quasi parliamen.
tary government with autocratic power
under the impracticable "constitu-
ton" granted by the emperor, and 1t
has been apparent for some time
that the lower house of parliament has
been making steady inroads upon the
stand taken by the ministers. There
is no attempt in official quarters to
deny that, since the second douma
proved unmistakably hostile to the
bureaucracy, the only hope of preserv-
ing the face of the ministry was to
provoke the Legislators to open hos.
tility. This plan has signally failed
and the action of the premier is prac-
tically an admission of his inability
to carry out tn wishes of the emper-
or, either ty antagonizing or plaza
ting the douma. In the one case--and
this was the plan of the reactionaries
he would have been able to demon.
strate that the attempt to clothe the
people with political power wac, to
say the least, untimely, and needs
must be given up. On the other
hand 1t was hoped that occasion would
be given to say the peace and safety
of the nation depended upon the dis
solution of the douma. Having failed
in both respects, Premier Stolypin has
notified the emperor that he must
needs seek another servitor and the
people want to hear what the little
fster" will say.

PRIOR WATER RIGHT
is GIVEN TO bitches

juneau, Alaska, June 5.-Judgc
James Wickersham has handed down
a decision confirming the right to wa
tiers of any mining stream by appro-
priation rs against the rights of rips-
rian land owners. The decision, which
will protect the big ditch companies
against extortion by jumpers, is the
most important ever handed down by
Alaska courts.
The finding was made in the salt of
Thorndyke vs. Alaskan Perseverance
Mining Company and grants the min
ing corporation title to waters of Lur.
vey creek, which Thorndyke attempt
ed to appropriate under his rights rs a
riparian land owner.
Judge Wickersham holds that the
mining company, having appropriated
the waters of the creek for ditch pur-
poses, 10 entitled TO first possession
under the mining laws of Alaska. The
company proceeding in good faith,
will be protected against all other
claimants for the amolnt OF water ap-
propriated for their ditch.
This decision applied to ditch COM
panies throughout Alaska will affect
an Investment estimated to be eight
million dollars. In the Seward PENN
sula alone there is 81, 0o0,00 invested
in bitches built by the big mining op-
orators during the pas. few years.
Their right Of operation depended
larcalv r,uor fha dacis,oy, ra,der.d ~
Judge Wickersham, for had he ruled
in favor of the riparian land owners
the ditch companies would have been
compelled to settle with all of them
before doing business.
There has been sharp controversy
in some parts Of Alaska over the prior
ity of rights between the ditch compa-
MES and the riparian land owners and
an effort has been made by some per
sons holding land along the streams
to hold up the ditch companies.

A Remarkable Book
Reviewed by CHARLES CRANE,

the exercise of the hypnotic influence
or any subject is a psychological crime,
and Dillories those who practice IL in
these words: These men stand before
the world, charged with the offense of
practicing an art which has for its
purpose the enslavement of the souls
of their fellow men. But the crime of
which they stand accused before the
bar of public conscience is not that of
mere physical slavery. 1t is the slav-
cry of the human SOUL" The author
analyses and picks to pieces the theo-
ries of Professor Quakenbos, Gregory,
De Lawrence and other writer's on this
subject. Attention is called to THE
Law of Psychic Phenomena" by Hud-
son. wherein he CHudson) takes the
position that it is impossible for a hyp-
nOtist so to control the Will of his sub
iect as to compel him to do that which
he knows to be wrong.
His argument is ingenious and in
teresting from the standpoint of mere
speculation, but, after ALL II is moth
ing but an argument-which is entire
ly answerable even from the basis of
his own premises. Aside from this.
however, it cannot stand in the face OF
facts demonstrated Under the relent-
less logic of personal experience and
personal demonstration, it must yield

The author approaches this subject
with the same fearlessness as the 9TH

kind, which transcends the generally
accepted scientific dogmas of his time
Fully recognizing in the undertaking

which his knowledge imposes upon
