A curious feature OF the labor question
and its accompanying racial issue In Cali
fornia is the changed attitude toward the
Chinese The employers in California al
ways did Ike the Chinese, but the Influx
was so great that all California, prac-
tically, Joined in the demand for exclu-
sion. Now that the Chinese immigration
has been stopped for twenty years and
the Chinese here are becoming fewer, Cal
ifornia seems almost to regret 1t. Ger
tain II is that whenever japanese IS
seen or heard the Californian instantly
makes a comparison which is infinitely to
the advantage OF the Chinese. The sober
thought Of the State however, fears the
incoming Of any Oriental people, and It
looks to Europe to supply its demands

MURDER THEORYGROWS
NEW CLUES FOUND DURING PROBE
OF APPLETON WOMAN'S DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Will Return Homicide
Verdict, Says District Attorney
Woman's Husband Quizzed.

APPLETON, Wis, June 5.-[Spe-
cial. district Attorney Rooney, DR..
Cooney and Police Officer Baker this
morning made a thorough search of the
home where Mrs. Minnie Grunert's life
less body was discovered on Wednesday
morning. Among other things. they found
was partly eaten rye bread cheese
sandwich which had been hidden in the
basement of the house. The bread was
fresh and the cheese had been cut with
in the last few days.
This discovery leads the officers to be-
lieve that someone besides Mrs. Cru
merit was in the Grunert home on
Wednesday, the day of the tragedy. The
supposition is that the slayer of the
wealthy young widow entered the vacant
home some time during the early morn
ing of Wednesday, remained there in
wait for Mrs. Grunert, killed her before
$3.50 i'll the morning and then suspended
her dead body from a hatrack hook in
little closet to hide the murder and to
give the appearance of suicide.
Paul krause, the divorced husband Of
the dead woman, who is in Jail awaiting
trial on a charge of trying to burn his
wife's home, admitted on the witness
stand before the coroners jury yesterday
that he passed the home of his former
wife at $3.50 o'clock on the morning of
the day of the tragedy, but he denied
that he had entered the house or that he
had any knowledge of the circumstances
surrounding the mystery.

Sermonette to Roads.

Interesting in connection with the case
is the ''sermOpette" on the duty of rail
roads contained in the brief of the at
tprucy general.
1T is but elementary to say that rad
roads are not private corporations, nor
are they organized and operated solely
for their purpose of profit to the stock
holders thereof, though contrary opin-
ion may obtain in some quarters. They
are public Institutions, controlling the
great highways of the state which owe
a duty To the state and to the public.
as we'll as their stockholders, and within
constitutional limitations, they must be
operated for the convenience ana accom-
mediation of the people.
The Inhabitants of small communities
who require service by railroad corpora
tion are as certainly entitled thereto as
those living in larger communities
though perhaps not entitled t" SO great
or extensive "a service. Reasonable ser.-
ice should hr furnished smaller commu-
mites If it may Toe done without seriouH-
~ interfering with the business of the
the corporation in its service at other
points aud where the service required Is
REASONABLE" aud not coutiscatory Of the
property If such corporation.'

Railroad Took Appeal.

The 800" case was taken to the SUI
pcmc court on an appeal by the railroad
company from the Judgment Of the cir
cult court of Dane county affirming the
rraSuuHblcncsS Of the order of the com.
mission in the Dwight controversy.
Dwight has a milk Swimming station and
tie farmers were compelled 20 haul their
cream u DCronda, three and onc-halt
miles distant. The commission ordered
one Of the four trains daily To stop at
Dwight, the railroad resisted in the cir
cult court and appealed from the affirm
atiys verdict, upon the following
grounds: a. That the order made by
the defendant was unreasonable and
conhscatOry; C2l that the defendant com
mission had no power to make
such order; ana CO that the making OF
the order was prohibited by the old
statute enacted in 1874, providing that
trains must stop ut every town or vii
Iagc of 200 or more inhabitants and a
poStOniCc. The commission disputed all
of these points, holding, through the
attorney general, that the needs of the
Gown justified an improvement of service;
that its power To demand such improve
mcnt was unquestioned and that the old
1874 statute, 50 far as it applied to this
case. had been abrogated by the new law
of 1903. The commission declared that
the stoppagc at Dwight would entail an
additional expense to the railroad of %

Appleton District Attorney Believes
That Mrs. Minnie Krause Met
with Foul Play.

APPLETON, Wis, June ii Spe-
cial THAT Mrs Minnie krauSc, who
was found dead in her home last eve
ming, was murdered is the belief of Dis
trict Attorney Rooney. \ rigid invest-
CATION will be made at the inquest at

licvcd that it was a case of suicide.

clans and the district Ct. vney this morn
ing convinced the latter that Mrs.

bruises on the face and lead, and a deep
cash in the left cheek, and Mr., Rooney
is convinced that murder was commit
ted.
Mrs Krause was married to Paul
krause in Germany, aud they came to
this country about five years ago. They
lived happily together for several years,
and then separated. Last February Mrs.

going to Milwaukee,. His bonlSmen be-
came suspicious, and krauSe in the
afternoon was turned over to the au-
thoritics and lodged in JAIL
