The editorial says: We need

NEW FREIGHT RATES.
Table of Statistics Showing Increase
 in Some Sections.

Chicago, May 15.-Just what the advance in freight rates proposed by the eastern railroads within the ter ritory of the official classification ter ritory alone which comprises the section east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio, will mean an increased cost of living is set forth in table of statistics compiled by the Illinois Manufacturers associa- tion. The table together with legal opinions and recommendations will be presented to-day at the confer ence here of representatives of 50 of the largest industrial organiza- tions of the east and middle west.
 The railroads propose to tax every man, woman and child in the country $1.75 a head" is the first contention set forth. The increase contemplated will raise the present gross freight revenue of the roads in the official classification territory from approximately $1,000,000,000 to $1.140, 0,000,000.
 There are S0,000,000 in the country so each one will be called on to contribute $1.75 per annum to the eoffers of the railroad com panies.

HOME STATE FOR JOHNSON.
Minnesota Democrats Refuse Consoia .

tion Vote to Bryan.
 St. Paul, Minn., May D.-The Demo- crats of Minnesota formally indorsed Governor John A. Johnson as a presi- dential candidate and at the same time by vote of 772 to 166 refused to de- clare in favor of William J. Bryan as a second choice. ...
 The followers of Mir. Bryan did not carry out the threat which they have made during the past ten days, that they would bolt and hold rump con- vention if their contests were defeated before the committee on credentials or if they were not able to secure par tiaI Endorsement of their leader. They made a sturdy fight for their man and when they had been overwhelmingly defeated remained quietly in their seats and made no motion to leave. The Johnson men were generous in their victory and declared in their plat form that, while they entertained ''an affection for and confidence in the in tegrity and ability of William J. Bry- an," they believed that Johnson was a man better calculated to bring success to the Democratic party and was first entitled to the support of Minnesota.

BANDITS GET sa5,ooo.
Blow Open Safe In New Mexico Rail
 road Station,

Fl Paso, Tex. May 15.-Pursued by men and bloodhounds. three bandits, with $35, 1000 of loot in their possession, are fleeing through the rugged noun tain passes north of French, a little station eighty miles from East Las Vegas, N. M., on the Santa Fe railroad, in an effort to escape the clutches of the law.
 At French they broke down the doors of the depot, bound and gagged the station agent and special guard. blew open the safe with dynamite, took the money and rode away, leaving their victims helpless.
 A tramp wandered into the station half an hour later, released the almost unconscious men and gave the alarm. The news of the daring robbery was wired to every town in the neighbor- hood of French and special train bearing thirty deputies and fifty horses left East Las Vegas in half an hour hot on the trail of the fleeing bandits. A special with four men also left Daw- son, and message was sent to the territorial penitentiary at Santa Fe for bloodhouuds, which were brought through as fast as special engine and ear could carry them.

MAY BE MISSING HEAD
Fragments of Human jawbone
 Found In Guinness Ruins.
SHARP KNIFE IS UNEARTHED
TWo'More Watches, Making Eleven In All, Discovered Among Ashes-Ber- tilIon Expert Called on to Identify Body as HelgeIein's.

Laporte, Ind, May 15.-Fragments of skin and bone sifted from the slow ly diminishing pile of debris in the cellar of the Guinness house of mur- der were accepted as almost conclu- siye proof that the missing head of the murderess was not cut off and carried away, although the defense will at tempt to create doubt as to this point when Ray Lamphere comes to trial for arson and murder.
 A bone of the shape and size of a human jawbone and two yertebrae found in the ruins are in fairly recog- nizable condition. A curled and char red piece of skin shows so plainly in places the singed hair that there is lit tie doubt 1t is from the scalp of a woman
 One of the weapons the murderess used in dispatching her victims was stumbled upon in the ruins by Dr. D. l.. Jones of Hillsdale, Mich, who joined the throng that still continues to form line coming and going all day between Laporte and the murder farm on the hill.
 Sharp Knife Dug Up.
 The blade, four and half inches long. is of razor steel, sharp as a sur geon's blade with which arteries are severed and deep incisions made. The metal handle, with wood trimmings burned away, was found with the blade, which can be pulled out from one end thus concealed within the han dle.i
 Two more watches, making the total eleven, were found in the ruins, but their descriptions were not made pub. lie by State Attorney Smith.
 The warden and Bertillon expert from the Indiana State penitentiary at Michigan City, with Coroner Mack, ex- amined the dismembered body of Helgelein. the last victim of Mrs. Gun. ness. With the aid of the Bertillon record of Helgelein in the Minnesota penitentiary they were able, it is de, clared, positivelyto identify the body.
 Looking For More cadavsrs.
 Sheriff Smutzer announced that he will resume digging operations with the hope of uncovering additional skel' etons. Excavatlng will be done es' pecially under the flooring in the base ment of the barn. This building was moved short time ago. and some of the men who performed the work have told the authorities that Mrs. Guinness watched every move they made and kept guard about the place during the intervals of work.
 Sheriff Smutzer and Prosecutor Smith held q hurried consultation, bu' neither would reveal the details oi their talk.

Will Now Be Compared With AIdrieh
 Act In Conference,

Washington, May 15.-The yreeland currency bill, agreed upon by the Re publican caucus, was put through the house under a special rule by a vote of 1S4 to 145. Fifteen so called insurgents of the majority party voted with the Democrats. who went on record solid ly against the measure.
 As soon as the bill reached the sen ate MT. Aldrich called meeting of the committee on finance to consider it. It is expected the committee will vote unanimously to amend the house meas ure by striking out all after the enact ing clause and inserting the provisions of the bill which was passed By the senate. It is not doubted that the sen. ate will Approve the action of the com. mittee. The effect of this course will be to send both the Vreeland and the Aldrich bills to conference.
