Beverly, Mass, Aug. 31.-In laying
the corner stone of the new Y. NJ. C.
A. building in this city today Taft
officially announced that Beverly
would continue to be the summer
capital" of the country, at any rate,
for two years more. Taft had init.

his official public announcement to-.
day called out great cheers from his
hearers. Melville Woodbury., presid-
ing officer at the ceremonies, referred
to the president as Bverly's most dis
tinguished summer boarder"
The president worked hard at the
corner stone. The big block of gran.
ite measured three by four feet, and
no mortar had been spread when the
president took up the silver trowel.
He worked in silence for nearly five
minutes. The mason stepped forward,
and Taft resumed his job. When he
had applied the last of the cement
the mason smoothed off the edged and
the stone was lowered to it's place.
At the conclusion of the exercises.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Coincident with
the closing of the testimony for the
Santa Fe system, before the special
examiners for the interstate commerce
commission, and statement from the
roads statistician that increases in
freight rates asked would net the
Santa Fe only $4,000 increase year
~ in earnings, there came today a
suggestion that the railroads now on
the defensive might change their tao.
tics and seek to compel the shippers,
who oppose the advance in freight
raes, to declare how much they prof
it on the different commodities un.
der consideration.
A request from Attorney F. J. Nor
ton counsel for the Santa Fe, for the
names of different associations OF
shippers represented at the hearing
that he might question certain OF the
shippers, gave color to reports that
the shippers would be asked about
their profits. One prominent railroad
men declared that inasmuch as ship
per had been protesting that profits
of he railroads we're unreasonable,
the railroads might well ask shippers
what their profits are on commodities
affected by the proposed increase in
freight rates, so that the commission
might know whether they are or are
not seriously disturbed by the increase
which they are fighting.
While no definite intimation OF such
intent has been made, it is OF unex-
pected that the railroads, before the
hearing is over, will ask many ques'
tions of shippers concerning their
profits and rate of return which they
enjoy on their invested capital.
When the initial presentation OF
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-09-01

, the contentious of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn was concluded, hearing was trans
ferred to the Rock Island roads.
F. o. Melcher, second vice-president
of the Rock Island company, told Of
increased expenses of the road in late
years, due, according to him, to ad-
vance in wage scale and increased
cost of operation.
w. A. Potset, chairman of the Trans.
Missouri freight bureau, presented in
the form of tabulation compilation
Of rates in effect in the territory west
of the Missouri river on freight ship
ped east or west, to or from common
points in Colorado and points west of
the Missouri or Mississippi rivers.
The tables showed both class and
commodity rates and included the
years 1900 to 1910. Similar compila-
tions covering live stock and grain
shipment rates were also provided
and entered as exhibits.
Vice-president Melcher said that, in
his opinion, the road does not get
more efficient labor by reason of in
creased wages. Some of the increases,
he said, were the result of threatened
strikes which were settled, and some
were granted after arbitration. Mel
cher declared that no change is likely
to restore any part of the wage in
crease unless the road can get more
for hauling freight. He also comment
ed on legislative measures which had
| increased the cost of operating rail-
roads. Melcher discussed the increase
in size of rolling stock and difference
between steel and wooden cars, and
declared that better equipment, which
added to the cost of operation of a
railroad, was the result of a demand
from the public for improved travel
ing and shipping facilities.
The hearing of the general increase
was suspended and the examiner took
up the consideration of specific tar
iff of the Northern Pacific relating to
increase in rates from Portland, Ore,
to points in eastern Washington.
Counsel for the railroad explained
that the apparent increase in back
haul charges was really an equitable
adjustment made necessary by the
opening up of another line Of road,
which worked a hardship to Tacoma
and Seattle shippers under present
conditions.
The hearing of the main case Will
be resumed tomorrow morning, when
the Rock Island will continue its pres
entation of evidence.

kANSANS GIVE ROOSEVELT greatest
ACC0RDED HIM DURING PRESENT TRIP
Battlefield on Which John Brown Fought is Dedicated
as States Park
IN ANNOUNCING POLITICAL CIR ExPREs0EhT EMPHASIZED
EIGHTEEN IMPORTANT REFORMS HE BELIEVES ARE NEEDED
IN THIS COUNTRY SPEECH IS DELIVERED At osAw
ATomlE PRINTED THREE.

16. Publicity of campaign contrib
utions not only after election but be
fore election as we'll.
II. Prompt removal Of unfaithful
and incompetent public servants.
IS. Provisions against perform
ance of any service for Interstate
corporations or reception of any COM
pensation from such corporation by
national officers.
While Ro0sevelt's speech is regard
ed by many of those who heard 1t
as carrying him further than before
with the progressive movement, the
colonel coupled with his declaration
warning afainst the EXTREMIST, in
jecting extemporanous remarks on the
subject into his personal speech.
~ do not want our people to fol-
low men whose intentions are ex'
cellent, but whose eyes are little
too wild to make it safe to trust
them," he said.
Another sentence which Roosevelt
put into his speech extemporaneously
brought forth applause fro mthe
CAO"O GIL ooAu.
mo man should make a promise
before election that he does not in
tend to keep after election, and If
he does not keep it, hunt him out. |"
People gave his words interpreta-
tion of their own and bursts of cheer
ing which broke out when they heard
them was one Of tn widest of the
day.
The speech was delivered in a grove
on the battlefield where John Brown
fought the Missouri raiders on Aug.
30, 1856. The setting was picturesque.
Thousands Of people had gathered for
the dedication of the battlefield as q
state park. The crowd was so great
that only a small part of the people
could hear what was being said, but
they all cheered
The cheering was so enthusiastic
that Roosevelt was interrupted con-
stantly and had to hold up his hand
in protest time after time. The crowd
caught up every phrase which it in
terpreted as expression of progressive
sentiment and shouted as long as the
colonel would let it 60 on. The green
just outside the grove, were rows of
booths in which were sandwich men
and side shows. Vendors of wares did
not cease their shouts while the colon
el was speaking and he had to COM
pete for hearing with whistles of the
y-go-round, "squawkers" and the
voices of Kansas orators who
were urging the people to buy pea
nuts, popcorn, hot dogs, pink lemon
ade and potato peelers.

Sbcciol to The Tribune.
Medora, N. D., Aug. 30.-Three pc.
titions were presented to the county
commissioners today for the division
of Billings county.
One asks that the four northern
tiers of townships be segregated to
be known as Roosevelt county; an
other, that the four southern tiers be
segregated to be known as Butte
county; while the third asks that a
part Of the three western tiers be
segregated to be known as Golden
county. This last petition asks for
twelve congressional townships which
are included In the Roosevelt petition
and two which are included in the
Butte petition. The Roosevelt petit
tion was gotten up quietly and was
sprung as a surprise. All these Pc
titions conflict as to territory, it's
doubtful if any will carry at the elec-
tion, as it requires majority of the
county to form new counties.
1t appears that the voters of Gold
en- will have to vote against the two
other petitions for self preservation.

r. H. Shields, member of the state
tax commission of Michigan, in speak
ing of railroad taxation problems, said
that if some methods could be de-
vised and applied whereby all rail-
roads and more especially interstate
railroads, could be taxed upon the
same general basis, one of the great
railroad problems would be solved;
but no theory should be arbitrated
or employed without first considering
equity of results which follow it.

LOCKJAw COMES QUICKLY.
English Boy Dies Six Days After In
Jury to Foot With Tack.

London.-A remarkable case Of
lockjaw was investigated at South
wark this week when an inquest was
held on Arthur Pitman, aged 4 years,
son of salesman, living at Deptford.
On Monday of the previous week
the child was playing in the garden.
when he became excited on seeing a
worm. His elder brother went to dig
the ground where the worm was, and
ran the prong of fork into the boys
foot.
On Sunday last symptoms Of lock-
jaw supervened and the child was
taken to Guys hospital, where he died.
DR.. c. H. Mills said that the child
had an angry-looking septic wound
on the side of the left foot when he
was admitted. He had all the symp-
toms of lockjaw, and was placed un-
der chloroform to relieve the spasms;
but in spite of all the usual remedies
he died.
Witness said this was the first case
the hospital had had in which the
period of incubation for tetanus had
been under six days. The symptoms
usually appeared after three weeks.
In this case, however, the organisms
were so acute, and the germs so strong
that only six days elapsed. Death was
due to failure of respiration from
lockjaw
