Crookston, Mimi, June 2.-The sig.

from political viewpoint, was made
clear at the smoker given for the
delegates at the Crookston CONNER

In speech, which was apparently a
surprise, State Senator A. D. Stephens
raised the cry of re-apportionment,

possibly touched on the subject of pol.

on vagaries. They still outvote us
down ut St. Paul. But if we steer
clear Of vasaries, pledge you that
the Republican state convention will
include plank pledging itself to re.
apportionment in the next legislature.
The senator from Waseca is mighty
bright man, but it is not fair he should
represent $4,000 people while some
senators in Northern Minnesota repre-.
sent 50.000.'
Senator Stephens speech was fol.
lowed by one by Mr.. Boyle from the
range district in which the hope was
earnestly expressed that politics would
be barred.
II don't know what you call it,
said Senator Stephens, "but the fact
is here, and it's about as near politics

this issue is concerned it will be i'm
possible to keep entirely clear of poll

Senator Stephens speech was the
sensation of the evening and will be
followed by resolution demanding re-
apportionment offered on the floor OF
the congress.

that he pledged the next Republican

st. Louis, June 2.-st. Louis
attorneys for railroads interested
in the governments suit to re-
strain Western railroads from ad-
vancing freight rates in the West
ern Trunk Line committees ter
ritory, received teIegraphic calls
from Gardiner Lathrop, the gen.
eral solicitor Of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe system, for
conference at Chicago Friday.
Martin L. Clardy, vice-presldent
and general solicitor of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Iron Mountain
systems, had intended to bring the
attorneys to St. Louis Friday, but
he expressed the opinion that they
would probably all comply with
Mr.. Lathrop's request. The OBJ
ject of the conference is to pre-
pare for vigorous contest Of the
governments suit.
St. Louis, June 2.-The order OF
Judge David Dyer, restraining rs
Western railroads from advancing
freight rates, was placed in the hands
of the United States marshal here.
Three of the companies having gener.
al offices here will be served the first
thing. They are the Missouri Pacific,
the Wabash and Frisco systems.
Copies of the order were then sent
to Chicago, Kansas City, St. Paul and
Parsons, Kan, where general offices
of the various railroads are located.
Following the filing Of request to
expedite the hearing of the case, it
was announced that the Judges of the
United States circuit court, Adams,
Van Devanter, Hook and Sanborn, may
take it up before the vacation season.
In that event the hearing would take
place in st. Paul where the judges are
now holding court.
Though the temporary injunction is
not effective until served on all the
railroads it was announced here that
no effort has been made to collect
the advanced rate.
Railroads Plan Battle.
Within the next two days attorneys
for the Is Western railroads, temper
arily restrained from advancing freight
rates, will meet here to plan an an
swer to the governments suit. 1t was
announced by an attorney for one of
the roads that Attorney General Wick.
ersham's petition for permanent in
junction will be bitterly contested.
The principal fight will be made on
the contention that there is an agree:
ment among the railroads to advance
freight rates in, violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Frederick N. Judson said he had
been retained as special counsel in the
rate case and as such would be an as
sistant to the attorney general.
In an effort to restore the rate en-
Joined, the railroads may come into
court with petition to dissolve the
injunction. Failing in this, the petit
ton of the government for a perma-
nent injunction will probably come up
on July 5, on which date the order to
be served by marshals today has been
made returnable.

Washington, June 2.-Rates of the
Western Trunk Line association which
were prevented from becoming effect
i've at midnight Tuesday night by the
temporary injunction granted by the
United States circuit court at Hanni-
bal, Mo-, constitute only a part of the
advances made Dy the Western Trunk
Line association. The injunction ap.
plies only to tariff A. lis, mentioned
in the bill filed before the circuit
court by representatives Of the depart
ment of Justice.
The tariffs filed practically stimuli.
taneously with the interstate COM
merce commission by the Western
Trunk Line association making ad-
vances in the rates in commodities be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee and be-
tween St. Paul and eastern destina-
tions on wool were in effect.
The increase in the freight in trans.
portation of wool from st. Paul points
to New York and Boston, particularly
is of immense interest to consigners
as it means fiat advance Of 10 cents
a hundred pounds. This increase ap.
plies to all western wool passing
through Minneapolis or St. Paul des-
tined to Atlantic tidewater destina-
tions.
1t is not explained why the injuno.
ton sought by the department OF jus.
tice was not made applicable to all of
the advances recently made by the
