TWELVE KLLED|N
 MINNESOTA WRECK

odessa, Minn., December 1S.-Ten are dead and nearly "a score more or less seriously injured as the result of q silk" train on the Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul railway, which was running as second No. of "the Co., lumbian flyer" crashing into the rear Pullman of the flyer at the station here early today. The engine of the special plowed for five feet into the sleeper, but the greatest loss of life was in the front end of the Pullman, which was telescoped by the dining ear just ahead.
 Although both the diner and Pull man were of steel, the former sheared the upper portion of the sleeper from the floor as if it had been cardboard. In some manner the diners floor be- came elevated slightly above that of the Pullman and the Pullman was damned along for fully 24 feet, while the diner as giant knife cut away the upper structure and did it's work of destruction.
 Responsibility for the wreck has not been placed definitely, but it is said to rest upon the operator at Ortonville Junction. The silk" train is so called because of fine and perishable mer- chandise carried.

 CHARGES 0F MARTA
ROckefeller's Counsel Sharp ly Rebuked By Stan
 ley for Interruption

Washington, December 1S.-Joseph $. Cotton, former attorney of the Duluth, Messabe and Northern railroad, denied today before the House steel trust investi- gating committee the charge made by C. H Martz that he had ordered the padding of the cost of the railroad in report to the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission.
 Cotton submitted documents to show that the cost estimates made by Martz never were submitted to the commission, MT. Cotton was accompanied by George Wel.wood Murray. counsel for Johp p Rcckefeller. who pro!oked oolIoqny wfsl Chairman Stanley when he sought te interpret testimony of the witness.
 Following Cottons deniel, Representa- lives Young and Gardner declared they were convinced he had done nothing ques- ticpable.
 The committee reviewed with Cotton tine testimony of the Merritt brothers relat- ing to the taking over of the railroad and ore properties in the Messabe region by John D. Rockefeller and his aimoner, the Rev F. D. Gates, which later were sold to the United States Steel corpora tion.
 'Did you know that the Rev. Dr. Gates, who put through the deal whereby the Merritt brothers lost to John D. Rock efeller their interest in the MeSsabei mines and the railroad they created, was a minister of the gospel?' Chairman Stanley asked.
 'So far as I know, MT. Gates has not occupied a pulpit for 20 years" MT. Cot ton answered.
 ''I am entirely inclined to believe you Mr. Stanley replied.
 The committee will hear tomorrow other witnesses who will seek to shed further light on the absorption of the Minnesota ore properties by MT. Rockefeller.
 Chairman Stanley of the House Steel in- yestigating committee today sharply rep rimanded John D. Rockefellers counsel, Mir Murray, for interrupting a witness, J. B. Cotton of Duluth. former counsel for the Duluth, Messabe and Northern railway. MT. Murray interrupted Cotton to explain the testimony.
 ''I have warned you, MT. Murry,' ex- claimed the chairman, that If you have anything to say to this committed, you must submit it in writing. You will con dnct yourself according to the rules of from you. We do not intend to permit you to interrupt the testimony of Wit resses. If you have anything to say you must go on the stand and be sworn, so that you may be cross examined. Sit down.,

Minneapolis do not encounter the de-
lays Of former years. |%.,
Farmers Are Happy.
Farmers of the Red River valley
are happy this year because they ara
getting big money for good crops,
and this is true of many counties in
North Dakota. vi ~ VIZ }.@> ~ 40
The money demand from the coun.
try is greater in proportion than last
year, and tho banks are now shipping
currency in quantity in excess of last
year. ,..s-..".
Out of the Minneapolis banks
money is going to the prosperous
farmers who have the good crops this
year, for wheat is we'll UP in price,
and barley is golden, not only in
color, but in money equivalent. To
get dollar bushel for barley at the
country station is such an experience
as the farmers of Minnesota and
North Dakota have never had before
any they are profiting by it and send.
ing in their high-grade stuff. Even
the low grade feed barley is worth
IS to Is cents at the country stations,
and that is an extraordinary price.
The flax crop is going to bring
much money to the farmers this year,
for flax is worth $2.10 to 1920 a
bushel in the country, according to
how far out from the terminal mar.
ket the locality may be, and when a
farmer can get 81 a bushel for flax
he is in line to profit immensely If
he has any kind of a crop.
Tonnage on Increase.
The 500 line grain tonnage, that
of the Great Northern and the North.
ern Pacific Ia much greater this year
than last, and nearly back to the
former big years when production
ran heavy. The Milwaukee road is
getting much grain out Of it's line
that taps the Red River valley. The
other railroads have many counties
through which they pass in which
the crops were good, and as prices
are high, the merchandise movement
westward is now beginning to pick
up somewhat as the farmers who
ara getting the money for their grain
are beginning to buy from the coun-
try merchants, who in turn are buy
ing more freely from the Minneapolis
wholesalers.

Minneapolis Journal: From the
farms of the great northwest the
grain has begun to move into Mime
apolis in something like old time
form, and thousand-car days at the
chamber of commerce ara expected to
show up at intervals from now on
through the fall. Monday was the
first big day of the season, and from
the way the grain is being taken In
at country stations the movement is
likely to continue heavy. Compared
with last year when the movement
was light, the. figures so far this
week look big.
With 1906 cars of grain received IN
Minneapolis in the first two days OF
this week, the railroads have ex'
ceeded the inbound tonnage of a year
ago by $40 cars, and the week prom
ises to show an increase of 1900 cars,
Judging from the rate Of delivery OF
grain at country points and the speed
with which the roads are moving 1t In.
Wheat and barley, which came so
heavily Monday, were again received
in quantity yesterday, there being AIS
cars of wheat compared with 278 a
year ago and 1856 cars barley com
pared with 81. For the first two days
of the week the wheat movement has
filled 1886 cars compared with 900
cars a year ago. Barley receipts of
527 cars for the two days compare
with 178 for the corresponding two
days last year.
Fast time is being made, and bills
of lading coming in from the Dako-
tas are being followed so closely by
the grain itself that shippers. used
to more or less delay in past seasons,
are surprised to get their returns so
quickly. The railroads have plenty
of equipment this year, and early IN
the season they placed empty cars
at country side tracks in preparation.
Traffic westbound is light on all the
roads and the grain trains headed for
