NEW RATE LAWS

EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
AS WAY TO SOLVE RAIL

ON TICKET AGENTS CAUSE
MIx-UP.

St. Paul, June New rate leslsia-
ton may he made necessary by me
move of the railroad companies to de
feat the commodity rates recently
adopted and the 2-Cent fare law, and a
special session of the legislature is to
be expected in case the under1ahlhe
should prove successful. State onlcefs
who are conversant with the situation
freely predict that the public Will not
submit quietly to defeat OF the recently
enacted laws for the regulation or rali'
roads, and that a renewal OF the hght
Of last winter might result in even
more severe laws.
Railroad officers, including ticket
agents in the Twin Cities, were served
Saturday with copies of a restraining
order issued by Judge William Loeb
ren, directing them to refrain II
putting into effect the recently adopt'
commodity rates, pending the hearlhS
June 10, under an order to show cause.
From the fact that the ticket agents
were included in the service OF the pa
pers there w9s confusion as TO the
scope OF the order, and it was sup
posed for a time that the 2-cent fare
law would be affected directly oy this
action of the court. Later it was found
that this order to show cause relates
only to commodity rates.
Governor is Sorry.
II am very sorry to see this question
of railroad rates opened again, SAID
Gov. John \. Johnson. For several
wears the state has been torn up over
the question of railroad transporta-
ton and railroad abuses. The leglsla-
1ure, in my judgment, settled the ques'
ton for a great many years and In a

The people of Minnesota will not sub,

have only themselves to blame. The

| compromise on rates to the legisla
ture and the suggestion vas acted on

ed the government regulation of rail-

tons are: Give the government full

Of investors in railroads; demand COM
plete publicity in all business: hold
officers criminally liable for misusing
funds; permit traffic agreements bene-
fitting the public; avoid confiscation
Of railroad property; secure shorter
hours for train operators; provide for
physical examination Of roads; perfect
uniform accounting system.
The president declares hat census
| reports tend to show that "ailroad
properties are worth as much as the
securities representing them.
The Good Railroad Man.
According to the president the good
railroad man operates his road Cor Ter
manent profits; keeps in touch with
people along the line; not so familiar
with speculative market; seeks fair re-
turn for stockholders; does not seek
temporary advantage; treats road as
business, not speculation.

NEAT TRUST R0BS THE PUBLIC
sCHEME EXPOSED BY WHICH
PUBLIC is FORCED TO PAY
FOR SHORTAGE.

New York, June !. - A gigantic
scheme by which the meat trust robs
he public was revealed in the Myrtle
avenue police court, Brooklyn, when
Harry Schmidt, an employee Of Armour
& Co, the Chicago packers, was ar
raigned on a charge of having sold
meat at short weight.
The arrest of Schmidt followed an
extensive investigation made by in
spectors of the bureau of weights and
measures. They have found that on
every box marked as containing fifty
pounds of chickens there is a shortage
Of four pounds or more. The trust will
only sell at box weights
Butchers throughout the country are
paying l6 cents a pound for boxes sup.
posed to contain fifty pounds of chick,
ems. They receive only forty-siN
pounds and so lose Go cents on every
box.
1t is necessary for the butchers to
add this additional cost to the retail
price, so the public has to foot tho
bill. This practice has been going on
for nearly a year, but the butchers
have feared to take action, knowing
that the trust would retaliate by dis
eliminating against them.
Magistrate Manner, before whom
the case against Schmidt was up for
hearing, was indignant at the ~revela.
tons made.
Il will hold this prisoner for trial
in the general sessions" he said, and
In the meantime | trust steps will be
taken to bring an action against the
officials of Armour & Co, who have
guilty knowledge of this fraud"

NEW YORK CITY is DOOMED.
Accurate Astronomer Says End Will
Come Some Time in August.

MiddletowR Conn, June 1.-"uncle
Horace" Johnson of Middle Hadden,
known throughout New England as an
accurate weather prophet, announces
that all Of Manhattan island and much
of the adjoining territory will be de-
stroyed by a great earthquake some
tine in August.
He says one-half of New York city
| will sink into East river and the other
half into North river and that the dis
turbance will entail the loss of thou
sands of lives. The damage to proper
ty naturally will be incalculable.
"Uncle Horace" as he is Familiarity
known, is about eighty years old. He
has made a lifelong study of astrono-
my and the changes in the atmosphere.
He predicted the great blizzard OF
1855 and many other catastrophes,
such as the recent earthquakes in San
Francisco and Jamaica.
He says the coming earthquake has
to do with the constant change in the
equilibrium Of the earth. He says fur
Their that he has known of the coming
catastrophe for many years, but has
not announced it until he made abso
lutely certain it will occur.

had instructed her counsel, Clarence

the theft of her mail and the use of

There is no doubt that Mrs. Gould

agreeing to a private adjustment of
her difficulties with her husband, the
developments of the last two weeks
had swept it away.
