MUST MAKE TRACK SAFE.
Coroner Takes Charge of Basic Death
Inquiry.

Chicago, June 12.-With another ac-
cident at the fatal death curve" of the
Hawthorne track, marking the closing
of the automobile races, Coroner Hoff-
man announced that he would take
personal charge of the investigation.
following the death of Marcel Basic at
the track Saturday.
When the inquest over the automobile
driver begins today Coroner Hoffman
will attempt to place the blame for the
failure to have the track banked III
such a way as to make it safe.
IT am in favor of good sport at any
time,'' said Mr.. Hoffman last night.
But killing men is not real sport.
Three weeks ago a man was killed in d
motor cycle race at Hawthorne at prac-
tically the same spot where Basic lost
his life Saturday, and where another
fatality was narrowly averted Sunday.

matter yet. 1t would seem to me that
more precautions should have been la

AMERICAN RAIL EFFICIENCY.
Interesting Comparison of Freight
Rates Over Country.


Chicago, June 12.-How American
railroad freight charges compare with
those of leading countries of Europe
is shown strikingly by a. comparison
of statistics of the railway of Prussia
with those of the railways included in
the states of New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
These states have nearly the same
area and nearly the same railway mile
age as Prussia. The latest statistics
available for the PruSSian roads are
for 1898, in which year the average
charge for hauling ton of freight one
mile on the roads of that country was
1.20 cents. In the same year the
average for hauling a tor Of freight
one mile on the railways of the group
of states above referred to was but "a
of 1 cent In. other words, the aver
age freight charge of Prussian roads
in 1903 was practically twice that OF
the American roads.
This difference Is considered the
more remarkable when considered in
connection with the fact that on the
roads in the group of states referred
to the average daily wage of en-
ployees, exclusive of general officers,
ly wage paid on the Prussian roads. In
other words, while the Prussian roads
had to haul only 63 tons one mile to
earn enough to pay the average daily
wages of one employee, the American
roads had to haul 339 tens one mile
ly wages of one of their employees.
The explanation of the ability of the
American roads to carry freight at
rates so far below the Prussian rates
while paying wages nearly three times
as great, say American railroad men,
is found in the greater efficiency of
American railway operation and man

LENGTH OF TRIAL UNCERTAIN.
The question OF length OF the trial
is uncertain. On the part OF the men,
beers of the senate. there will be a gem
eral desire to work as rapidly as pos
sible and close the thing up. The task
of presenting the case against Cowan.
will be very great, however. e>peciall.
if all or a maj ority of the specifications
that are filed against him are taken up.
Each specification must be looked upon
in the nature of being all independent

to the city to testify upon each and ev-
cry one of the specifications that will
be pushed
One proposition in which there is a
great deal OF interest is that Of the
Houses action. Should occasion arise
for the House to go into session. III
terest in the case would be greatly in
creased because Of the uncertainty en-
i>,ing OH the problem of the veto pow

a period OF fifteen days as it does when
the legislature adjourrs.
MANY sIDELIGHTs OF THE CASE.
Sidelights that have entered into the
Cowan case have been many and
varied his week Speaker Haniey has
made public a letter to Representative
D. R. Streeter of Emnons county. be-
ing in the nature of a reply to the lat
ter's charges OF unfairness in the
handling of the Cowan matter from
the chair. Hanlcy declares that his
action was entirely in accord with the
rules OF parliamentary procedure il
such cases.
Another feature OF the case is tbs
bidder spirit that has been engendered
at Devils Lake, the impeached iur!st's
residence. In that city the men who
made the petition for Cowan's i'm
parchment also make their home, and
the factions there. quite evenly d.
vided. are at swCrds'p Cints over the
affair.
IN JUDGE CowANs DISTRICT.
In the district at large the situation
also is interesting. Recently. or Just
after the Impeachment. meeting was
held in Minnewaukan at which resoltl-
TORS favorable to the Judge were
passed. Stories sent out bearing upon

campaign for city offices on that plat
form this spring. The platform en-
bodies all the things the people be-

At long distance. of course. it is i'm
possible to say just the motive for
the organization of the new local
party. but if the theories advanced in
the platform are carried out in prac-
tice there is no reason why great
good should not result to the city. Of
course there will be opposition to the
candidates having the endorsement of
the United Platform" as those who
cannot get its support will be dis
gruntled and it probably will not be
clear sailing for tie new movement.
Two of the things prominent in the
platform are endorsements of the
commission form OF government and
