lated.
Washington, Dec liza controversy
over railroad legislation will be pre-.
cipitated in congress this winter.
which in intensity of interest and
gravity of Importance, promises to
surpass the legislation conflict over
railroad rates four years ago. The
first gun was fired by Senator Cum:
minis of Iowa introducing bill propos.
ing radical changes in the interstate
commerce act. In large sense the
;Cummins' measure is practical sub.
stitute for the present interstate com.
meroe act. 1t is expected that a meas.
;uEe proposing amendments to the ex.
listing law will be introduced early in
January by Senator Elkins, which will
differ from the Cummins bill in many
important details.
In brief the Cummins bill requires
the Interstate commerce commission
to promulgate uniform classification
of freight and to prepare a plan for
the statement of freight rates which
shall hereafter be made in a uniform
way. The carriers are required to
adopt this classification.
The commission is authorized to
consider rates on it's own motion with
q view to determining their reason
ableness and is empowered to fix maxi
mum and minimum rates.
Power of Courts Reduced.
In any action instituted in court to
set aside an order of the commission
respecting rates the courts are pre-
vented from inquiring into the reason
ableness or sufacienoy of any rate
hxad by the commission.
The bill provides that changes in
rates shall not become effective until
they are approved by the commission.
Acquisition Of control of any parallel
competing line is prohibited and 50 is
acquiring the capital stock or bonds
Of any other carrier that is a COM
petitor.
BY the terms Of the bill q carrier is
prohibited from issuing any capital
stock without payment at par either
in money or in property.
In effect, the commission shall have
supervision of the issue of stock and
bonds by any carrier. Specific direc-
tions are given for the disposition of
the proceeds of any sale of bonds
After Jan. 1, 1911, no carrier doing
interstate business shall be permitted
to engage in any other business than
that of a common carrier.

American Warships HurriedIy Pro-
ceeding to Corinto.
Washington, Dec. liza resolution
authorizing the president to take the
necessary steps for the apprehension
of President Zelaya of Nicaragua and
for his punishment on the charge of
murder, if the facts in the possession
of the state department warrant such
action, was introduced by Senator
Rayner.
The resolution recites the circum-
stances connected with the execution
of two Americans, Groce and Cannon,
by order of President Zelaya, as gen.
orally understood through published
reports from Nicaragua: The resolu-
ton will lie upon the table and Sen
ator Rayner has given notice he will
address the senate in it's support.
Evidence is multiplying that Zelaya
intends to retire from the presidency
of Nicaragua. Reports to that effect
are general throughout that country
and the american consular officers
seem to e'..!-o crcSence to them.
The latest bit of news from Mic
aragua was that Jose Madriz was be-
ing talked of as Zelaya's successor.
It is assumed that this suggestion
comes from Zelaya's friends and for
that reason as we'll as others Madriz'
selection would be far from satisfac-
tory to this government.

;suBscRIp1loH---s5.o 90 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE
the GAmEAN FISH COMMISSION "MELON."

JAE GAME AND FISH COMMlSSlON "MELUN.
There will be two vacancies on the
State Game and Fish commission,
January 1, and candidates for ap-
pointments to fill the vacancies are
becoming numerous and insistent.
One of the present members of
the commission whose term expires
is Carlos Avery of Hutchinson, who
has made the very best executive
agent who has occupied the head of
the commission since the organiza-
tion,of the board. The other men,
Der whose term expires is John Grill,
also a southern Minnesota man, who
has made "a good member of the
board.
Both of the retiring commissioners
are stannch democrats. and their
activity with the democratic machine
of Minnesota during their tenure of
office is well known to those who
have been on the inside" of the
transactions of the commission.
The filling of these vacancies is
liable to stir the political circles of
the state, from circumference to
center, as it is very likely that Gov
ernor Eberhart will attempt to name
the executive agent, direct by
appointment, if statements printed
in the Minneapolis Tribune are
correct as to Private Secretary
Wheelock having limited that this
action would be taken.
Concerning this possibility, the
Minneapolis Tribune says:
THE Democrats think a good
deal of the executive agency of the
fish and game commission and their
interest is not entirely in the inter-
est of the protection of fish and
game, although they may be ex-
pected to have this patriotic inter-
est At heart.
"Shrewd Frank Day knew how to
build up a political machine as well
as anyone, aud he did not overlook
the valuable asset of having some
500 game wardens scattered through
out the state, owing their place to a
Democratic administration. They
made a good picket line. The
executive agent of the fish and game
commission is supposed to appoint
these wardens.
1T is safe toassume the Democrats
do not intend to give up the ex-
ecutive agency, so long as they have
the votes to elect him. They will
put it up squarely to Governor
Eberhart that this is their right un-
der the law, and will probably ask
him what he is going to do about
it. If the governor insists and sus-
tains his private secretary, it will
mean the first clash of the admin
istration between Republicans and
Democrats"

THOUSAND HOURS A DAY
is GIFT TO EMPLOYEES
Broadway Store VIII Open Half Hour
Later and Close Half Hour Earlier
Than Formerly

Arthur Let's announced to hundreds
of his employees at the Broadway De-
partment store yesterday at the con-
clusion of their work that, beginning
with January /, he had decided to de-
duct one hour from their days work,
with no reduction in their pay. The
announcement was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the employees. There are 1000
of them, which means that Mr. Let's
has given to his employees 1000 hours
each day that he is paying for on an
average of 10 cents an hour, or $l0u
every day.
The drivers of the Broadway Depart
ment store were the first to learn OF
the reduction of an hour from each
days work at banquet Mr.. Let's gave
them several days ago in appreciation
of what he termed their splendid
service" during the busy holiday sea-
son. At this dinner each driver was
presented with a gold piece.
In accordance with the change in the
hours of the employees the Broadway
will open at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
and close at $50, instead of opening at
s o'clock and closing at o'clock, as in
the past.
