n0SkINS IS APPOINTED
MASTER IN CHANCERY
WILL HEAR THE EVIDENCE IN
THE NOW FAMOUS Ignite
COAL CASES.
First Hearing Will Be Held in St.
Paul-Soo Line Is First Road to
Serve Notice That Another Showing
Would Be Made.

Supreme Court Clerk Hoskins has
been named by the North Dakota SUI
preme court as master in chancery to
hear the evidence in the now famous
! Ignite coal cases.
1t has been decided to hold the first
hearing in St. Paul, and Attorney Cen
eral Miller, Rate Expert Little and
Assistant Attorney General Young
will 60 down.
It will be recalled that in it's finding
the supreme court of the United
States opened the way for the railway
companies to make another showing,
having failed to sustain their conten'
ton that the state coal rate law is
confiscatory. s~~
The 500 is the first road to serve
notice that another showing would
be made. The taking of testimony
will begin in St. Paul, October 2.
This hearing will be followed by the
other common carriers of the state
later on, and it will probably be sew
eral months before all the testimony
is in and the master of chancery
makes his finding.
Some objections were made to hav-
ing the hearing outside the state,
but the attorney general is OF the
opinion that it will be an advantage
to the state for the reason that it
makes the records Of the railway COM
pany available.
The North Dakota Ignite coal rate
cases are we'll understood, having
been in the public mind for number
of years. When the statute of 1907,
fixing the freight rate on Ignite coal
in North Dakota, went into effect, the
railroads contended that it was con-
fiscatory and made a showing to sus-
tain their contention. The supreme
court of the United States sustained
the finding of the North Dakota court,
but gave the carriers the right to
make a further showing and this is
what will now be done, beginning in
St. Paul next month. The legislature
of North Dakota had tried to fix
freight rate on Ignite coal ever since
the commonwealth was organized, but
never succeeded in establishing a rate
until the law of 1907 was enacted. The
law went into effect after long legal
struggle, April II, 1910, and has been
in effect only year and five months.

SPRING LAKE, N. j., Sept. H.
Two methods in which the powers Of
state executives throughout the Union
ought to be strengthened, in the
opinion of Gov. Edwin L. Norris OF
Montana, were discussed by him be-
fore the conference of governors here
today.
The first vital step to be taken,
Goveror Norris believes, is to bestow
upon governors the power to remove
inefficient state omcers charged with
the enforcement of the criminal and
remedial laws. The second is to
grant the governor the right to initi-
ate and refer legislation to the voters
for their approval or rejection.
Governor Norris addressed himself
to STRENGTHENING the Power of the
Executive"

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 12-Lit-
tie change in the apparent result was
shown today by revision Of the re-
turns of the votes cast at yesterdays
special election on the question Of
taking prohibition out o. the state
constitution. At eight o'clock today
fourteen towns had not bee heard from
and without these towns the vote
stood as follows:
For repeal 60,721.
Against repeal, 59,958.
An announcement was made this
morning that steps would be taken
for a. recount of the vote unless the
official returns should materially in
crease the majority for a repeal of
the amendment.
Next in interest to the prohibition
question was that of the adoption or
rejection of a statewide primary act.
Returns thus far received indicate its:
adoption by good margin. The off1c-
ial vote from seventy cities and towns
at hand this morning show 23,780 fav-
orable and 1892 opposing votes, the
majority in favor being 7,415.

Trackage privileges. for the move

is said TO be reliable authority. Ac-
cording to this source Of information
the lease goes in effect on Jan. Is. On
that date the Central will begin TO op-
