 Minneapolis, Jan. 5.-The following terse order was issued by the Mill waukee road today:
 Conductors Builetin-We are ex- tremely short of company coal at all points and there is short age of com mercial coal at great many places. Situation is getting serious. Company and commercial coal must be handled in preference to everything else ex- cept live stock and perishable freight, (Signed) F. H. Meyers, Superinten- dent.''
 Some Minneapolis dealers are still waiting in vain for their shipments of Christmas trees and the switchnen say the Twin Cities are doing only 1S per cent of the normal freight busi- ness. The railroads took radical steps today evidently in preparation for a general strike and they called in about B of their master mechanics, super intendents and assistant superinten- dents of divisions who have been working in the Twin City yards for the past five weeks and ordered these men back to their regular positions in their respective localities throughout the northwest.

Tn a. special message today Governor Hughes recommends that the proposed amendments be defeat ed because it makes no exemptions from taxation. If sanctioned by two- thirds of the state, he claims, 1t will leave the door open for Federal tax ation on the income state and muni- cipal bonds. This will destroy the borrowing capacity of the state muni- cipalities. ~
 Leading members of the legislature endorse the governors position and there is little doubt that the arnend- ment will be defeated.

GROWERS UppUSE
 TAXING OF OYSTER
 GROUNDS IN STATE

HENRY c. ROWE TELLS BOARD
 OF EQUALIZATION THAT AS
 SESSNIENT OF $5 AN ACRE
 WOULD BEGGAR OYSTER
 GROWERS OF THE STATE.
 Hartford, Jan. 5.-The board of equalization, sitting as a board of re- lief to consider appeals from assess ments on oyster grounds within the exclusive Jurisdiction of the state, held a session in the capitol yester- day. Among the oyster growers pres ent were Henry c. Rowe, Senator l.. Z Ludington, F. E. Mansfield, Frank T. Lane, Carl A. Anderson of the Ells- worth Oyster company; c. E. Wood ward, representing the estate of w. A. Woodward; Henry Townsend, Rob- ert Rowe, F. E. Smith, representing the Stony Creek Oyster company.
 Senator Ludington said that the oyster growers could stand an 1n- crease to $2 an acres, but he thought that an assessment of $5 would be ex- tessive.
 Henry c. Rowe said that if the tate assessed the grounds at $5 an acres it would not pay the oyster growers to continue to own them. and the grounds would revert to the state. Another speaker who represented a large number of oyster growers said the grounds are not worth one dollar an acre.
 MT. Rowe suggested that the att tendance of oyster growers would have been larger if it had been more generally known that the board of relief would be in session yesterday. He asked that the hearing be post poned to another date and he said that he would make it his personal business to see that every oyster grower in the state was notified.
 It was decided to hold another hearing in the capitol. January A., at 10:30.
 If the attendance did not represent all the oyster growers in the state the fault cannot be said to be the boards.
 The board advertised the session in accordance with the requirements of the statutes and even went further to notify all the oyster growers of the state of yesterdays session.

Kitchin-Pou At Nashville.

Nashville, Sept 19.-An immense
crowd of Nash county citizens heard
Governor Kitchin and Congressman
Pou here Saturday. There were also
many visitors from Edgecombe, Will
mington and Franklin counties. A
brass band. also added to the occasion.
It was the opening of the campaign
in Nash. Congressman Pou was in
troduced in the forenoon by M. w.
Lincke and spoke for about an hour.
Mr. Pou make straightforward,
manly speech, one calculated to tie
his friends closed to him. In this
R. A. P. Cooley's home town, he was
heard with rapt attention and greeted
with applause.
Governor Kitchin spoke for more
than two hours in the afternoon, be-
ing introduced by Mayor T. T.
Thorne, of Rocky Mount and candi-
date for the State Senate. Governor
Kitchin made one of the strongest po-
litical speeches ever heard in Nash
county. The crowd was kept in high
good humor for nearly the whole time.
Mr.. Kitchin read his remarks IN re.
gard to trust legislation and The News
and Observers attitude toward him
He said he feared that he would be
misquoted. This part of his speech
was received in silence by the crowd
and only one lone man applauded.
The Governor was greeted with en-
thusiastic appaluse when he touched
on the record of Butler, Morehead and
other Republicans.
His references to r. A. P Cooley

Big Growth of Chicago.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The popula-
ton of Chicago is 2,185,2S3, an in
crease of 4S6,7OS or 28.7 per cent as
compared with 1,69S,575 in 1900.
This announcement leaves Chicago
ranking in population as the second
city in the United States and the
fourth in the world.
Chicago has almost doubled it's
population since 1890 when the figures
were -1,099,950. It's greatest growth
during that period was between 1890
and 1900 when there was an increase
of 54.4. It's increase in population
during the past decade was not so
great proportionately as that of New
York, the rate of increase being ten
per cent less than that scored by the
eastern city. New York is ahead of
it's closest rival by 2,581,550.
Chicago, however, can claim distinc-
ton of having jumped from sixth to
fourth place among the big cities on
the globe. The population of New
Orleans is $685. ,075, an increase of 81 ;
971 or 1871 per cent, compared with
287,154 in 1900 While New Orleans
growth during the past decade was
only slightly below her percentage of
increase of the previous decade, the
Crescent City, through the more rapid
growth of other cities in the 100000
class, loses it's position of twelfth in
the list of the country's biggest cities
and now occupies fifteenth position.

UNTRUE
That Taft Would
Sidestep For
Roosevelt
DENIAL IS MADE

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 19.-The pub
lication of a story in certain newspa-
pers purporting to have come from
Beverly and announcing that Presi-
dent Taft had decided to step aside as
a presidential candidate in 1912, to
make way for Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt, brought many inquiries to the
summer capital. For a time an Of
fetal denial was considered, but it was
decided not to dignity the story, which
lis reported to be without any founda-
ton whatever, with statement.
1t can be stated that there has
been no change in President Taft's
attitude toward a second term since
he told a number of his friends a few
months ago that he would accept
second nomination if his party desired
to tender it to him, and if that portion
of the American people represented
by his party seemed to want him.
The President, it is said, is not con-
sidering his chances for second
term one way or the other at this
time. From the first he has said that
| he would devote himself to carrying
out as nearly as possible the pledges
of the platform on which he was
elected for four-year term. Mr.. Taft,
| it is pointed out, will not make po-
1iticai bid for the nomination. If at
the end of his term his party feels
j he has been true to his trust and has
carried out its pledges in SO far as he
possibly could, it not doubt would be
very gratifying to the President to
have his administration endorsed.
That, he feels, is for the country and
his party to decide, not himself.
Beverly's busy season is about at an
end. The President started for New
Haven and Cincinnati on Sunday
! night. Altogether, the President will
be away from Beverly two weeks, re
turning here October End, to remain
until the 18th of that month.

To Cross Alps In Aeropiane.

Brig, Switzerland, Sept. 19.-Eyery-
thing is in readiness for the great
cross-Alps aeroplane flight from Brig,
at the head of the Rhone Valley in
Switzerland, over the simplon Pass
and down into Italy, crossing Lake
Maggiore to Milan.
Under the rules, the contestants
may start at any time, beginning to-
morrow, until September 26th, but
they must complete the air journey to
Milan in a single day. Many experts
here regard the attempt as foolhardy,
as the aviator must rise about 1000
feet Immediately on leaving the
ground and maintain that altitude
for not less than half an hour to clear
Simplon Pass. Descent anywhere in
the first 20 miles of the rocky, precipi-
tous gorges. would mean almost GER
tain death.

ture
"I am now quite restored to my
usual strength, but have not fully re-
covered my voice."
When Mayor Gaynor took Office he
announced that he intended to serve
the full term of four years, not only
because he considered that his cleo
ton implied a tacit pledge to fulfill
