PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON
INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT
Says II Is Not Adequate and Favors
Creation OF Commerce Court of Five
Mcmbcrs-Admits Law Does Not
Furnish Relief Against Dlscrimi-
nating Rates-Outlines His New
Plan.

Des Moines. Sept. Ex-senator
Cummings, the chief insurgent, well
coined President Taft this morning
and escorted him home to breakfast.
Later Taft reviewed the troops par
'ticipating in a tournament here and
at 11:1S started for Omaha. There
was nothing in Cummins' attitude to
indicate he resented Taft's attack on
the insurgents. In his speech before
the capitol today Taft declared the in
terstate commerce act is made
quate and that he favored the crea-
tion of an intercommerce court of
five members to handle transporta-
tion cases, solely.
He said: 1T must be admitted the
law has not furnished relief against
discriminatory rates with the expedite
on and effectiveness expected" He
believes that one member of the court
should have the power to stay the
of the interstate commits
sion sixty days, but that no injunc-
ton should be allowed unless the
whole court acquiesces. Taft believes
the unjust classification of merchan-
disc is great evil and that the inter-
state commission should have the
right to question the reasonableness
Of rates other than those brought to
its attention.

says the bones found were undoubted-
ly those of human and but that most
of them crumple to pieces when
picked up. The large bones of the
arm and leg however were fairly well
preserved.
So far as can be ascertained no one
of this description has ever been bur
led at that point as result of a
natural death and some have advanc-
ed the theory that the man was mur-
dered. If such was the case the mur-
derers were evidently in no hurry for
they buried their victim good and
deep.
1t is not believed that the dead man
was here in the service of the gov
ernment but that he was a former
member of the Confederate army and
that he had come to Oregon after the
close Of the civil war.

CLEANER POLITICS
SLOGAN OF LEAGUE

The Bismarck correspondent in The
Minneapolis Journal says: The Scan
dinavian Republican league Of North
Dakota will become an active factor
in the next political campaign II the
plans of its officials are carried out.
This organization, as it's name infers,
is made up of Scandinavian repub-
licans of the state and 1t has been
in existence several years.
The league has adopted a SET OF reso-
lutions In which are set forth it's prin-
ciples along which it's work will be
done. Theodore Kalder, an attorney of
Hillshoro, is the new president of the
league, being elected to success A. A.
Trovatten.
1t has been the popular belief that
the league was organized for the pur-
pose OF furthering the interests of
Scandinavian members of the party,
but this is denied by the present lead
ers. They contend that the leagues
only object is to assist, so far as pos
sible, in the maintenance of a high
standard in politics and the addition
Of boss control and political rings"
The league has Endorsed the initia-
tive and referendum, the creation of a
tariff commission, the placing OF pro-
per control over corporations, the cleo
ton of United States senator's by di-
rect vote, the creation of a state tax
commission and the strengthening OF
the primary election law.

NIGHT in CHAIR
PECULIAR ENcE OF

RooM--IN CRITICAL
CONDITION.

Grand Forks, NJ D.. Dec. 2s.--Gus
Johnson, formerly the tender of the
DeBTers avenue bridge, sat in chair
in Hanson Bros pool room. 211 De-
Mers avenue, from c'c.ocls Monday
afternoon till yesterday morning at
1880 o'clock in an unconscious condi-
ton and at late hour today he was
still unconscious at st. Michael's hospi-
tai, to which place he was removed.
Acute nephitis is the cause Of his PEE
culiar condition.
The patient came into the Hanson
pool room in apparent good health. He
sat down in one of the chairs and be-
gan watching a game of pool. Peter
Bushaaw, who is employed in the room,
noticed Johnson during the afternoon
until he left at o'clock in the evening.
When he again went on duty at z
o'clock the next morning he found
Johnson sitting in the same chair and
in the same position.
He at once tried to awaken Johnson
but was unable to do so. An officer
was then called in, also a physician,
and the man was removed to the hos
pital. His condition is very serious
and ii is not believed that he will be
able to recover.

WARDEN BJORKE
MAKES APPEAL
ISSUES REQUEST TO HUNTERS
or STATE URGING PRoTEc.
TON OF GAME DURING
COLD,

Abercrombie, N. D, Dec. 2s.-state
Game Warden Olaf Bjorke of district
No. has issued the following open
letter:
Several reports nave lately been
received at this office to the effect
that on account of the severe snow
and particularly on account OF the
sleet storms which this locality has
experienced during the early part Of
this winter prairie chickens are per-
ishing In large numbers being unable
to secure their usual food on account
Of the heavy crust Of ice and snow
covering the fields. This condition
appears to be common over a great
portion of our state and we have
knowledge Of specific instances where
chickens have entered barnyards and
even the back yards in villages in
search OF food. Owing to these con-
ditions there Is every reason, accord :
ing to reports received, to believe that
a great number Of the native birds
will perish unless special measures
for their preservation be Immediately
taken.
Owing to the lack OF time this
matter has not yet been taken UP
before the entire board of control but
/ feel at liberty to state, and / do
believe, the board is willing to reim-
burse any person supplying feed for
prairie chickens during the time these
conditions prevail, upon sufficient
proof OF claims for same.
THE sportsmen Of the state as well
as all lovers of bird life in general
are particularly interested in this
matter. and am in receipt Of let
ter from responsible business man
of Fargo, stating that the sportsmen
Of his city are willing, is necessary
to make up purse for the purposes
stated.
This is only one instance OF the in
terest manifested and in order to OBJ
tain further information a circular
letter has been sent out to hundreds
of special wardens and others in this
district interested in the protection
and preservation of our native game
birds requesting further information
as to the actual condition OF the
birds and urging all interested per-
sons to assist by immediate action
and by whatever way be feasible in
the preservation of the birds, and as
surfing them of the hearty co-opera-
ton of this department to that ef-
feet"

.CHAFFEE SWINDLE
SUSPECT NABBED
GOVERNMENT CATCHES MAN
BELIEVED TO BE- ONE OF
MINNEAPOLIS GOLD
BRICK ARTISTS.

Minneapolis, Dec, 2s.--Charles or
Red Adams, arrested In New York
last week, Is one OF the men who was
suspected OF the sz50oo Minneapolis
gold brick swindle. He answers the
description OF one Of the men who
swindled III, r. Chaffee OF Armenia,
n. D., out Of $4,000
Adams, who Is also known as Clin-
ton Bostetter, was arrested by federal
authorities in New York. He offered
to give $12,5o0 cash bail, but bail was
refused and he Is a prisoner In the
Tombs. In 1900 Adams forfeited $780,
600 bail in Texas. He had been ar
rested in connection with a 100000
gold brick swindle, similar in every
respect to that worked in Minneapolis.
After the Chaffee swindle, when
Chaffee loaned $4,000 TO a man who
gave the name Of John Armstrong,
who said he was mining man and
gave gold brick as security for the
loan, the Minneapolis police obtained
a picture and description of Red
Adams and sent them to Chaffee for
Identification He failed to identify
Adams as one Of the men who swindl-
ed him.
Chaffee took the gold brick as Sc
curity for a loan which was to go to
the purchase Of mine. The brick
was pronounced pure gold by man
who gave the name OF W. III. Harper
and who had an apartment at the
Rogers hotel. Armstrong and Harper
disappeared at the same time.

NATURAL RESOURCES BRINGS
ROSY PROSPECTS
FOR 1910.

Dunseith, NJ D., Dec. 29.-The out
look for a busy time in Dunseith next
spring is very promising The state
sanatarium is certainty. The open
ing Of a gravel pit for the Great
Northern railroad will bring scores Of
people to the city, and now comes the
important discovery Of coal within a
stones throw of the city limits. A
company has already been formed and
they propose developing the great de-
posts OF coal as soon as the snow
disappears.
tt Is safe to prophesy q great
boom" in all industries.
Oil has been found wasting on the
waters OF the creek which flows
through the mineral section and 1t has
been pronounced genuine petroleum.
Taking all these things into con-
sideration Dunseith has prospects of
the greatest year in it's history.
Mayor Robertson stated recently
that the city government would keep
abreast of this forward movement by
building sidewalks and making all i'm
provements necessary to beautify the
