nave an elaborate system OIL
land banks President Taft
- has called for reports on this
subject from our diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Europe. The first to be
issued at Washington comes from
Ambassador Curtis Guild at st. Pc
tersburg. 1t shows how useful and
how general the financing of farmers
in Russia has become.
Even in remote Siberia and Tur-
kestan the farmers cooperative
credit system has reared financial
fabric to assist the peasant farmer
of the Cars domain. The State
Department has just received from
Ambassador Curtis Guild, at st. Pc
tersburg, an exhaustive report on
the farmers cooperative credit sys-
tenn in Russia This is to be used
in preparing plan to fit the cooper
ative credit idea to American con-
ditions.
At the present time the Russian
Government has nearly $40, 100000
of Government money invested in
the farmers cooperative credit sys-
tenn.
The cooperative movement among
Russian peasants has now developed
two distinct aims: First, to educate
the peasants, a large proportion of
whom are quite illiterate, along the
lines of modern farming; and, sec
ondly, to encourage them to save
their earnings and acquire the habit
of providing against the rainy days.
The direct aim Of the Russian
Government in organizing this sys
tenn was to relieve the peasants from
the necessity of paying exorbitant
and ruinous rates of interest imposed
upon them by their money lenders,
the rates often running as high as
so and in known cases to $40 per
cent.
The Government has very wisely
left the management of the societies
largely in the hands Of the farmers
themselves. 1t exercises supervision
over the societies through the Minis
try of Finance.
Although instituted in 1895, the
movement has spread in Russia to
include 10000 farmers societies,
with an average membership in each
society of nearly 500. The network
of societies covers practically the
entire immense area of the Russian
Empire.
The average loan required by the
farmer in Russia does not exceed
$50, and is generally employed to
purchase some article necessary at
the moment, such as an agricultural
implement or a horse, the loan being
repaid by the farmer Immediately
after the harvest

Yet, the dear "heretics'' signed
their petition. It was so broad
minded, and without bigotry They
hated bigotry!! Wfat ignorance!!!
The veil pulled aside, some were
courageous enough to renounce and
denounce the fraud, and there
promptly appeared in The Times
the following:
Temple Chapter Misrepresented in
the Matter Of DeLacy's Re
appointment.
To the Editor of THE TIMES:
AS past worthy matron of Temple
Chapter, No. 13, o. E. S., on behalf
of the chapter l wish to state that
Temple Chapter has never indorsed
any petition for the reappointment
of Judge DeLacy for judge of the
Juvenile Court, Notwithstanding that
repeated assertions to this effect have
been made in both The Times and
the Post of Washington, D. G. All
articles to that effect in any paper,
either in this Jurisdiction or outside
of it are unfair and misleading. The
party signing these articles states
that he is a Mason. If he is | am
confident he has forgotten his obli-
cation taken at the altar-or he
would have taken the trouble to in
vesf1gate the matter before he as
sailed all the members of Temple

Withdraws Her Signature From De-

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
[ notice in one edition Of The
Times of June ID that 1 am credited
with indorsing Judge DeLacy for re-
appointment While I signed paper
which I am now led to believe was
such an Endorsement, am not &C
quainted with his qualifications and
have never seen him, and, most posi-
lively, l do not indOrse him for any
position.
EMMA G. COOMBE.
Matron of Temple Chapter, No. 13.
Did Not Sign Petition.
Mrs. Lillian CARL, past worthy
matron of Temple Chapter, No. 10,
0. E. S., states that the signing of
her name to petition asking the
reappointment of Judge William H.
DeLacy to the Juvenile Court bench
was wothout authorization from
her.
There is no doubt, if the truth
were known, it would be found that
others, whose names appear to that
petition at the head Of ''heretic" So
cieties and orders, so basely and
brazenly advertised by the Papists,
signed it in ignorance of the facts,
and as individuals and not as repre-
sentatives of their respective socie-
ties or orders, as the petition pur-
ports in misleading fraud and effect.
The President has been advised OF
1t.
It is understood that petitioner,
Julia Mason Layton, with so many
titles affixed for telling effect, is
negro Baptist, courted and cajoled
by the Papists into signing, but who
has also corrected her part in the
affair that the President and Con-
gress may not be misled by her as
she had been by the Papists. From
such, the Papal priests may find that
the ignorance and superstition Of the
100000 negroes, relied upon by
them for their conversion to Roman
ism. may prove to be an ignis fatu

Conductor Olaf Eklund Il Thrown
Under Wheels Of Moving Train and
Receives Injuries From Which He
= Died Sixteen Hours I4ater-W Was
Member of b. of r. T. and Widely
Known in Railroad Circles. *.|

E A shocking and deplorable. acct
dent occurred on~the Duluth, Rainy
Lake & Winnipeg railroad at Iding-
ton last Friday afternoon at about
ten minutes to four, when Freight
Conductor Olaf Eklund of this city
was thrown under the wheels of
moving train and received injuries
from which. he died sixteen hours
later.
The accident happened when sew
eral cars were backed into the engine
and caboose with such force as to
throw Mr.. Eklund, who was stand
ing upon the footboard of the engine,
under the wheels, crushing his left
leg and injuring him internally to
SUCH an extent that all the efforts
of the physicians in attendance to save
his life were unavailing. AS soon
as the accident occurred he was
placed in the caboose' and brought to
the Lenont hospital in this city,
where it was found that his left leg
had been badly crushed close to the
body and other injuries of an inter-
nal nature disclosed, the runu from
Idington to the city being made in
one hour and twenty minutes.
Olaf A. Eklund was born in Swed-
en- on March 80, 1883, and came to
this country when IS years of age.
For a number of years he was en-
ployed on the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern and Duluth & Iron Range
railroads in, the capacity of section
foreman, and while holding these po-
sitions became familiarized with
railroad work. Some three years ago
he came to the Duluth, Rainy Lake
& Winnipeg road and was recently
promoted to the position of freight
conductor, being recognized as one
of the best on the road. He was a
member of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen and was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him and
his acquaintance was wide through
out the county of St. Louis.
On March "a, three years ago, Mr..
Eklund was married to Miss Elsie
Beckman, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
August Beckman of this city, and
two children, boy and a girl, came
to bless their home, and these with
his wife survive him, besides five sis
tiers nd two brothers, one married
sister and Miss Caroline Eklund liv-
ing Duluth and the others residing
in Sweden. Miss Eklund was the
only one of these latter relatives
here to attend the funeral.
The funeral services were held at
the Swedish Lutheran church Monday
afternoon, Rev. Hugo ThOrene off,

Greenwood cemetery. Members of

men, Locomotive Engineers and Fire.

SUES PAKkALA ESTATE.
Widow of John KOski Files Suit in
District Court for 81, 900 DAMAGES
Against the Estate of the Late Axel
Pakkala-KOski Was MOrtally
Wounded in the Saloon of Pakkala
in This City on the Morning of
December "a Last.

AS a result of the shooting ARRAY
which occurred in the Axel Pakkala
saloon in this city on the morning
of December "a last, at which time
Axel Pakkala was shot in the head
and died instantly, and John Koski
mortally wounded, the bullet enter
ing his shoulder and piercing the
lung, dying about ten days later at
st. Luke's hospital In Duluth, his
widow, Mrs. Matilda Koski of this
city, has started an action for $4,000
damages against Mrs. Mary Pakkala,
Administrative of the estate of Axel
Pakkala. At that time the bartender
In the place was also shot in the
neck, but recovered shortly from his
wound. The shooting was done, it is
alleged, by Jack Drexler, who is now
on trial in district court, charged
with the murder of Pakkala.
In her complaint Mrs. Koski states
that her husband, who was sturdy,
hardworking farmer, went to Vir-
ginia last Christmas week and that
on the night of December "a was
drinking in the Pakkala saloon. She
states, that despite the fact that her
husband was intoxicated, Pakkala
kept giving him more liquor and kept
his saloon open between the hours of
l o'clock and o'clock on Sunday
morning, contrary to law.
Mrs Koski alleges further that dur
ing these hours and after her hus-
band had been given such liberal
amounts of intoxicating liquors that
he was unable to defend himself, a
drink-crazed man entered the place
and began shooting at everyone in
the bar room. One OF the bullets
struck her husband in the body, in
flicting wound from which he died
on January 9, 1912.
The complaint points out that Mrs.
Koski is the mother of five children,
who are dependent upon her for sup
port, that Pakkala disobeyed the law
In giving liquor to a drunken man
and by keeping his place of business
open after II O'Clock at night and
also on Sunday, and is estate is
therefore, liable for damages.
1t has also been intimated that the
relatives of Drexler may bring an ac-
ton against Pakkala estate for SELL
ing liquor to drunken man and for
having kept the saloon open after
hours.
