State Inspector Plays Trick on Mani
towoc Meat Men.
Two Manitowoc meat markets were
hauled up and fined $25 and costs by
a travelling state inspector who work
ed a fine scheme on the sellers. The
inspector came into the shop in his
official capacity and picked UP several
meats in the ice box that he condemn
ed. The promise was made that the
orders would be obeyed and the meat
destroyed, but righteousness was too
much for the dealers and they came
to grief as a result. The inspector re-
turned several hours later CARRIED as
a tramp and represented that he de-
sired some meat for his camp" The
same meat that the latter had ordered
taken from the shop was packed up
for the tramp" and paid for. The
identity Of the purchaser was then re-
vealed and $25 and costs was dug up
by the two dealers.

GRANT PERMITS TO THE 500.

Road to Build New Lines.

Wisconsin Commission Authorizes
Road to Build New Lines.
The railway commission has issued
orders granting the 500 and its subsid-
larry company, the Wisconsin & North
ern Minnesota railway company, au-
thority to build the new lines it has
asked permission to construct In
Douglas county and the city Of Supe-
rior, and as a result the 500 road will
enter that city The commission
granted that railway certificate of
public convenience and necessity and
the road has won it's fight over its
great rivals, the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. who have fought the
case for weeks before the railway
board. The 500 will now make it's
fight before the Minnesota commission
for entrance into Duluth and then it is
believed that the line will be extend
ed into the Mesaba iron country
Applications to the railway commits
sion were made through subsidiary
companies, and to these the commits
sion granted rights.
The commission ordered the North
ern Pacific company to build spur
track from it's line at Maple, Douglas
county, to the mill of the Northern
Hardwood Lumber company, 1900 feet
west of Maple.
The case was bitterly contested,
Louis Hanish appearing for the rail-
road company and State Senator
George B. Hudnall. one of the trainers
of the law, for the lumber company. It
was declared for the lumber company
that it was only upon the promise of
the extension that it was persuaded
to build it's mill at Maple in the first
place
The commission also issued an Or
der requiring the principal roads to
reduce their minimum charge on pack
age freight shipments in Wisconsin
over one line from 40 to 25 cents. The
order is the result Of hearing held on
the matter by the commission last
Wednesday. The order does not affect
the present charge of 40 cents on ship.

LUMBfRMfN SHOWING FIGHT
BELIEVED TO BE MAKING CoUN.
TER ATTACK ON5.MAIL ORDER
HOUSES.

Minneapolis, Oct. S. - Lumbermen
and catalogue houses are evidently
fighting a heated battle before the fed
eral grand jury, for although no word
of what is going on has been let drop
from the jurors, the fact that many
lumbermen have testified and that
they have carried into the jury room
papers and magazines containing ad-
vertisements of the mail order houses
indicates that they are carrying the
fight into the enemy's territory.
1t is asserted that the lumbermen
have made a counter charge against
the mail order houses, claiming that
they advertise to sell things they do
not possess. 1t is also asserted that
the advertisements often contain d.
rect attack on the lumber trust" and
that may be the reason for the fight.

The state railroad commission has
issued an order requiring the Wiscon-

nish better train service on its Port
age-Stevens Point branch. The order
requires the company to have its
south-bound passenger train, No. 502,
leave Stevens Point at $3.50 a. m. in
stead Of 8 a. In. as at present, and ar
rive at Portage at 1910 a. m. instead
OF 11:40 a. m. The north-bound pas
senger strain, No. SOL, Is required to
leave Portage at 4:30 p. m. The north.
bound freight train, leaving Portage at
4 a. m. and arriving at Stevens Point
at $3.50 a. NJ, is ordered continued as
at present. except that a locomotive
and caboose or passenger car is to be
experimentally operated through Mon.
tello for a period of two months. II
the experiment with the locomotive
and caboose or passenger coach shows
that SUCH service is just and reason
able, it will be ordered continued. The
petitioners for better train service on
the Stevens Point-Portage branch
were M. D. Leonard, J. H. Coon and
several others living along the line.
The railroad heard arguments on
the petition of the Wisconsin & North
ern Minnesota railway company for a
certificate of public convenience and
necessity authorizing it to construct a
short line in the city of Superior This
company is a subsidiary one to the
500. The Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern roads are opposing the
building Of the new road on the
ground that there is no necessity for
it. The petitioning company was rep
resented by Attorney L. X. Luse and
the opposing roads by Attorneys Louis
Hanitsch, J, A. Murphy and c. H.
CrOwnhart. The commission took
the matter under consideration.-W.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 5.-That President
Company of Indiana, recently fined
S29,24O,O0O by Judge Lands, had no
knowledge justifying a statement
ascribed to him in a circular widely
distributed in an attempt to show that
the Standard Oil company had not
been guilty of acts that were not COM
mon to many shippers and that the
statement was without foundation,
were the conclusions presented to
Judge Lands yesterday by the grand
jury.
Statement at Issue.
The particular statement in the
pamphlet to which the jury was in
structed to call the attention of Presi-
dent Moffett was as follows:
Thousands of tons Of freight have
been shipped from these points whit
ing, Pullman, Hedgwisch and South
Chicago during the past fifteen years
under the same circumstances as the
Standard shipments, and if the Stand
ard is guilty in this case so is practi-
caIly every other shipper in this great
manufacturing territory. Is there a
purpose in selecting the Standard as a
victim?"
Has Omnibus Contract.

tract. whereby the Standard Oil COM
pany obtains from every steamship
company operating between New York
and all ports in Africa a rate for lubri.
eating oil that is about one-half what
its competitor, the New York Lubricat-
ing Oil company, pays, was produced

urer of the Pure Oil company and Of

related the difficulties his companies
had encountered in competition with
the Standard. Mr. Tarbell stated that
the business of the Pure Oil company
was placed in districts selected with
a view to avoiding business relations
with certain railroads whose rate dis
ordinations were more feared by the
company than the opposition of the
Standard. Mr.. TarbelI is a brother of
Miss Ida Tarbell, who has written
much about the Standard Oil company.
