to appear that the railroads are not
earning compensatory income on
their Minnesota investment and that
therefore the Minnesota rate laws are
confiscatory.
The next step in the proceedings will
be the consideration by the master In
chancery Of the exceptions filed by
both the railroads and the state. He
will make further recommendation
based upon the exceptions and another
stay Of 30 days will be allowed for
the lawyers Of both sides to submit
further exceptions. The entire record
in the case, including the evidence,
findings Of the master, the two sets OF
exceptions, the masters findings on
these exceptions and the additional ex'
ceptions, will then go to Judge San
born Of the United States circuit court.
Judge Sanborn will set time for
hearing the arguments of counsel. The
recommendations of Judge Otis on the
exceptions filed will probably be filed
within week or ten days and in the
order Of business the arguments of law
and fact will probably come up before
Judge Sanborn early in December. The
case will be appealed direct to the

Colonel Roosevelt carried his attack
on Mr.. Dix point farther by assert.
ing the records of the secretary of
state at Albany proved that the Stan.
dard Wall Paper company, with which
Mr. Dix is connected, was virtually
identical with the concern of the same
name which went out Of existence in
1908. and which, 1T is claimed, was
part of the wall paper trust. He also
reiterated his charges against Tam
many Hall and Wall Street and his de-
NAL Of the assertion that Roosevelt
ism" is a menace.
The people of the nine northern
New York towns gave the colonel
cordial reception. They filed the
STREETS and damned the halls in which
he spoke. His reception here was the
liveliest he has had in the campaign.
Alton j. Parker, who is campaign
ing for Mr.. Dix, happened into Rich.
