after an absence for a few days rest,
to letter written to you by Mr. Jones,
president of the State Business Men s
association. l do not intend to Ser1-
ously criticise his general statement of
evils sought to be remedied by pro-
posed legislation 1t is evident, how
ever, that a good many distinct legis-
lative purposes are to be met by one
complex statute. 1t would be very un-
usual if so comprehensive a statute

and careful criticism.
Regulation of Railroad Rates.
1t is impossible to adequately discuss
Within the compass of a single letter
the efficiency and propriety of the
remedies suggested for the various real
or possible evils which are described in
that letter. I should like in this com
ment to confine myself to a few words
regarding the proposed means of regu-
lating railroad service and railroad
rates.
/ agree that railroads can properly
be held strictly to the performance of
duties to the public But l do not
think that this is because they are
owned by corporations. or because they
enjoy Gin common with every manu-
facturer who wishes to develop a water
power) the right to condemn land-a
right which generally means a privilege
times what it is worth.
1 firmly believe that every man who
furnishes goods or services to the gen.
eral public is in q true sense a public
servant, and that he owes it to the
public to deal fairly, to make his
prices reasonable, and to give for these
prices as useful goods and services as
the prices paid will warrant.
The great leading case in which the
supreme court of the United States
first definitely sustained legislative in
reference with the rates charged in q
given business related to the rates
charged by Chicago grain elevators
The owners of these elevators We're not
necessarily corporations and enjoyed
no special privileges. The decision Of
the court was based on the principle
that throughout English and American
history our fathers have asserted g
fundamental right of their government
to prevent extortion by those who per-
form services for the general public.

NO. 81, of the Imperial commandery
of the Order of the Golden Grail, the
motto being Justice, Purity and
Prosperity
Upon the payment of an assessment
of 81, the members received nicely
printed 800 benefit certificate and
pledged themselves to further assess
ments of like amount when lawfully
called for, in return for which the
members was entitled to all privileges
of the order. including benefit not
to exceed 500. The benefit was to
be SO week, not exceeding three
weeks in any six months of member
ship. the benefit to be paid upon re-
covery from sickness.
In case of death the beneficiary was
TO receive the amount which had ac-
tually been paid in assessments, less
the amount paid in benefits with six
per cent. added; or the beneficiary
could continue the. payment of assess
ments and then receive the amount
that would have been due the men,

These certificates were>to be surren-
dered SIX months from date of issu-
ance aud the holders were to receive
sum not exceeding S10O, less The
amonnt drawn for sick benefits, to-
gether with accumulated interest
thereon.
The certificates were signed by
Webster p. Edwards imperial com
'mander and Frank E. Stedman as
imperial keeper of records. The local
members signature was Witnessed by
r. A. Mason, commander. and Edward
C. Johnson, scribe, of Westerly COM
Handery. No. 81
The commandery flourished like the
traditional bay tree until the time for
the payment of the certificates drew
near, and then it went the way Of
many other things that looked good to
investors. Some of the Westerly mem
bers still hold the certificates as SOU
venirs of their folly.
The Westerly commandery was or
gained 20 years ago. and when II
faded away there was a sum of money
less th9n 500, in the local treasury.
1t was decided to turn this fund over
to a. committee, for the time being
and 1t was to be deposited in a local
bank. which was probably done. Some

lieVs it about time that there should

COURT GRANTS
NOAH new TRIAL
CONVICTED MURDERER FROM
WARD COUNTY GETS NEW
LEASE OF LIFE ON A
TEcHNIcALITY.

Bismarck, N D., Feb. 4.-The SUI
preme court yesterday afternoon hand
ed down q decision in the case of
Robert H. Noah, convicted of murder
and sentenced to death, reversing the
verdict OF the lower court and virtu
ally ordering a new trial. Noah pleaded
guilty to the murder of a homesteader
in Ward county, by the name of
johnson.
The story of the crime iu that John
son was killed in cold blood and buried
on the premises and Noah gave out
the story that he had bought John
sons property and the latter had re-
turned to his home in Norway. His
actions later caused suspicion to be
aroused and an investigation brought
to light discriminating evidence which
when put before Noah caused him to
weaken and tell the story and make a
confession. He was taken be- ore
Judge Goss, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced 20 death and the date of
execution set.
The findings of the supreme court
on which the reversal Is decided are
purely technical and it is probable
that 1t only means that there will be
another trial.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Pstten & Co.: Wheat has
had a 2 cent break since Tuesday:
would consider the short selling and
the liquidation and and may get into
an oversoId condition again, hence we
would advise caution about pressing
short sales on the decline yet. If the
northwest receipts continue heavy and
milling demand show no improvement,
Of corn continue large and demand
shows no improvement, which must
ultimately tell on prices.
Finley, Darrell: Until something
develops to bring about a radical
change in sentiment or cash wheat
situation show more indications of
weakness, market will continue a pro-
fessional scalping one. Purchases of
corn and especially on soft spots at
tractive.
Clement, Curtiss e. Co: The dam
age reports are liable to force an ad-
vance in wheat almost any day. 1t
looks to us as though much of the
shorts will have to cover corn before
another decline develops.
Logan g. Bryan: Regardless of the
firm closing, the conditions seem to
suggest sales of corn on hard spots.
Chaplin g. Co. AS long as stocks
are light and cash wheat premiums
maintained we do not look for any
material weakness to develop.
Lamson Bros. g. Co: Corn appears
to be in a healthy condition and in
vestment demand on weak spots seem
sufficient to prevent serious decline.

STOMACH PUMP gave
Up EVIDENCE AGAINST
GOTHAM HIGH AYMAN

New York, Feb. 4. A prisoner
charged with engineering holdup and
robbery of a United States army cap
tain and then swallowing the evil
dence was the subject of two stomach
pump operations in a police station
today.
Captain George Rochfuss was held
up at a pistols point by two men in
the early hours. One of them scam
pered off with pearl and diamond pin
from the captains cravat. The army
man was knocked into unconscious
ness, but the scufe'c attracted po-
liceman who chased the thieves. He
caught one fugitive, but claimed to
have seen him tear the stones from
their setting and cram them into his
mouth.
The stomach pump was brought into
play to recover the gems. 1t failed
to have the desired effect either on this
occasion or when the operation was
repeated after the man was taken in
court with an attack of cramps.
The prisoner, who gave his name as
James McBurt, was held.
