Pardon WANTED
NOW FOR YOUNG
Pardon Board is Consider
Ing Application for Freedom
for Train RObbof

The only case considered by the
pardon board yesterday was the peti.
ton Of Train Robber Young, who held
UP a Northern Pacific passenger train
about a year ago. Young made a con-
fession when he was arrested but lat
er stated that he had been drugged
when he made the statement that he
was guilty and now he has asked for a
full pardon.
There were number OF witnesses
called and much testimony taken by
the board, but at noon today no decis-
ion had been reached. Sam Olson, an
engineer on the train which was held
up, and who was wounded by shots
fired by the robbers was a. witness be-
fore the board @
There has been good deal OF pub
licity given the case recently on ac-
count Of the refusal of the n. P. to
pay the reward for the arrest of Young
the company claiming the man was
not guilty and that there was frame
up to secure the reward money.
This morning there were number
Of other cases heard but no decisions
have been announced. 1t is stated
that there are Sc applications for par
don 1t this meeting. which is more
than half the p0pul4tion Of the pen.

.25C REBATE
IS DEFENDED
Telephone Company Explains
to Commission Object Of
Extra Charge

There We're about fifty telephone
men present at the meeting of the
railroad commission hid in the cap
itol building yesterday afternoon.
They were here to explain to 'tho
commission some of the rates and
other things about their business.
There was good deal OF talk about
the price Of construction and opera
ton Of plants and as some Of the COM
plants sent to the commission had
been on the so-caled rebate OF dis.
count feature, considerable time was
given to explaining that. !, appears
that there is charge of % cents per
mont hadded to the telephone rates
in many towns and If the bill is paid
before the goth Of the month this
amount Is rebated
1t was stated by the. representatives
Of the telephone companies that this
was in reality protection to the
man who paid his bills regularly and
that it did away with the necessity
Of having a collector and that it also
reduced the possibility of bad bills to
a minimum. That If the 25 cents
was not attached to the bill 1t would
be necessary to engage a collector
and in fact several OF them, AID this
would increase the cost Of operation
SO that the price per phone would
of a necessity have to be raised.
The explanation given as to the diff
ference in rates charged in different
parts OF the state was that local con-
ditions made a difference in both the
price Of construction and the cost OF
operation. There was only one side
of the question presented and the
telephone men had the floor all the
time. The commission has taken the
matter under advisenent and will de-
liver a decision In the near future.
The members of the commission
went to Darlington on an early train
this morning and are holding a regu-
lar stated meeting there today. They
will have q good many routine mat
ters to attend TO there.

DOUBLE
CHARGES
ILLEGAL
Milwaukee Railroad Prevent.
ed " Commission From
Receiving Double Pay
Grain Dealers and Chamber
Of Commerce SpiritedIy
| Fight Railroad
(Rv Associates Press. J

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--The inter.
state commerce commission held to.
day that the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway, under existing con.
ditions, receives double pay for the
service of transfer of grain. which is
manifestly unjust"
Double Charges Revealed.
The record of the case discloses the
fact that the Milwaukee road exacts
a charge of one-fourth of a cent a
bushel for the elevation of grain from
the owner. and a like sum from east
ern railroads for the transfer of the
same grain.
The case was instituted by the Mil.
waukee grain dealers and the Milwau-
kee chamber of commerce and was
spiritedly contested, as it involved
very large interests.
