were injured, several possibly fatally.
The injured are: Mrs. r. M. Fulweil-

Mrs. Fulweiler, and Jeanette Setter.

Minneapolis Is Affected.


The examinations of the tariffs
which the railroads had filed to go in
to effect Aug. Is showed that increases
of from ~ to 3 cents per 100 pounds
on wheat and fax had been made
from almost every station in North
and South Dakota to the. terminals at
Minneapolis, Duluth and Omaha. 1t
was also found that in a great many
cases the increase had been applied to
the rate to Minneapolis, but not to
the Omaha or Duluth rate, and the
Minneapolis grain receivers feared
that it would disturb the present re-
lations and have a tendency to send
grain to Omaha or Duluth from points
that now ship to Minneapolis. Eighty
per cent of the shipping points in the
Northwest have hitherto had the same
rate to Minneapolis and Duluth, and
To- Duluth will have the advantage in
many cases.
The traffic officials of the roads
having headquarters in the Twin City
were invited to the conference In the
afternoon, and H. E. Still, assistant
general freight agent Of the Northern
Pacific; ]. T. Conley, assistant gen.
eral freight agent Of the st. Paul road,
and w. P. Kenney, assistant traffic
manager Of the Great Northern, came
up for the conference. On account of
the short notice they were not pre-
pared to make a clear presentation of
their case and asked for a postpone
ment.
Temporary Suspension Asked.
The commissioners decided to send
a telegram to Washington asking the
interstate commerce commission to
suspend the grain rate increases pend
ing the investigation. At the confer
ence here July 26 a careful analysis
will have been made of the increases
and the question will be taken up
with more intelligence.
A few stations in Southwestern Min
nesota were affected on the rates on
fax, but otherwise it does not affect
Minnesota except as it affects the re-
ceivers at the terminals. The rate
increases are all interstate and the
state commission has no power to al
ter them further than to appeal to the
commission at Washington.
