sAUK CENTER SERVICE SUNDAY
Proposed Plans Would Give Bemidji
Better Connections 10 Head of
The Lakes

Train service changes of impor-
lance are scheduled T"r Bemidji ac-
cor1ing 10 rumors which have been
heard here during the past two
weeks. 1t is said that the change
will be made chiefly by the Great
Northern road.
While no one in authority can be
found who will vouch for the state
ments it is said by men in the en-
ploy of the Great Northern that the
road intends to extend the Grand
Rapids-Virginia train, known as the
Merry Widow" to Bemidji and stop
the Sank Center Bemid7i train at
Cass Lake. The Merry Widow will
then get in here at the same time
as the present night train, passen-
gers from the south changing at Cass
Lake. In the morning the ''Widow"
is to leave here about e:3O, connect
ing for Sank Center at Cass Lake.
Another change which is said to
be contemplated by the Great North
ern is the taking off OF the night
train from Duluth to Grand Forks
This train is said to have been put
on to catch the Duluth Winnipeg
trade but that this business is now
going by way Of Fort Frances which
offers direct sleeper without change
while the Great Northern necessi-
tates change at Crookston.
If this change is made, it is said,
the Duluth-Hibbing train, known as
the "Wooden Shoe" will be extended
from Swan River to Grand Rapids,
giving passengers from Duluth a
chance to change to the Merry
Widow at Grand Rapids for Bemidji.
In the morning, the Merry Widow"
would connect for Duluth at Grand
Rapids
This service would give Bemidji a
train early in the morning and one
at noon for Duluth and one a day go
ing west 1t would also give Grand
Rapids two trains a day to Hibbing
as the "Wooden Shoe would go to
Hibbing via Grand Rapids instead of
Swan River.
On top Of these rumored changes
come the announcement made follow
ing the recent meeting of the Mime
sofa Editorial association in Minnea-
polls that the Great Northern would
put on a Sunday train from Sank Gen.
ter to Benidji This change is said
to have been recommended by Mr.
Noble, general passenger agent at St.
Paul, after a conference with Chas.
Scheers, of the Akeley Herald-Tri-
bune; William Verify, of the Wadena
Journal; and A. L. Sheets, Of the
Long Prairie Argus, members of the
editorial railroad committee.
Local travelling men are not agreed
as to how much these changes will
benefit local conditions. While they
agree that two day trains to Duluth
would be an Improvement, they say
that the slow running time is great
inconvenience. They also point out
that men making the territory west
of here will be greatly handicapped
with a one train day service

Fight Still on Over
The Rutland Road.

Albany, N Y, May 2.-More than 200
prominent residents of Vermont and
northern New York appeared before the
Public Service Commissions reopened
hearing. today, to urge the granting of
the application Of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railway Co. TO ac-
quire a controlling interest in the Rut-
land Railroad by purchase from the New
York Central e HUDSON River Railroad
Co. The Vermont delegation was headed
by Gov. John A. Mead.
Petitions were presented from village
boards, commercial bodies, labor organ
izations. shippers and citizens, contain
ing several hundred signatures, from :,
score of cities and towns along the line
Vermont. all favoring the granting of the
New Haven application.
They claimed that control by the New
Haven would mean an Increase of traffic
Which would amount to $4,000 yearly.
They explained this probable increase by
declaring that the New Haven was In
a better position and II would be TO its
advantage more than to the New York
Centrars, to give the Rutland Railroad
a large volume of business trafric.'
Samuel tfntermyer of New York, who
said he represented 1900 shares of mi
nority stock, opposed the application. He
declared that Notwithstanding the case
now pending, the New Haven Co. had
actually made arrangements to take con-
troll of the Rutland road. and that al
though FIVE months had elapsed since the
former road had purchased ene-half of
the majority stock of the latter from the
New York Central it had done nothing
to undo the act, which he said was un-
lawful. During controversy with a
witness, in which the commission ruled
against him. AR Untermyer exclaimed.
"The minority stockholders have some
rights which thus far have not been wen
regarded by the commission"
James b. Colgate of New York en-
phatically denied what he termed Mr..
untermyer's ''insinuation" that he had
been purchasing Rutland stock for inter-
ests connected with the New Haven, and
characterized the present opposition of
minority stockholders as "hold-up."
Mr.. unternyer replied that this char
acterization was infamous
President Mellen of the New Haven Co
said that neither he nor any director
of the road had taken or attempted te
get a single share of the minority stock

THE NEW PENSION BILL
VIII Call for Increase in Expenditures
of $25,0oo,000 Yearly.


Washington, May 2.-Conferees of both
houses of Congress on the general service
pension bill reached an agreement, to-
day. on the basis of the Senate bill with
some increases for advanced age and
length of service. This action is said to
assure the enactment of the general SER
vice bill into law.
The eonferees We're Senators McCumber,
Burnham and Gore, and Reps. Sherwood,
Adair and Sulloway. Messrs. Gore and
Sulloway refused to sign the report, the
former on the ground that the Senate
was conceding too much and the latter
because 1t does not concede enough.
The increase grants SIS a month to SOL
diers 66 years who served q years and
S19 to those who served three years.
Those 70 years old who served II years
get $21.50; two years. $25; q years, y24;
three years. s25 Those of rs years who
served six months get SCI; one year, $50.
It is estimated that the increase in the
governments pension expenditures for
five years under the terms of the agree
ment will average about s25. 100000 an
nually.

Kept Alive al Rockefeller

Or. Alexis GarreI, The Director,
Makes Interesting Report
On Results of Remarkable Expert.
ments with Tissues OF Heart.

New York, May AN account Of
some remarkable experiments made at
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research with tissues from the heart,
is given by Or. Alexis Carrel, director
of the Institute, in a report just pub
lished here. Or. Carrel announced that
he was able to keep pieces of the
heart tissue pulsating rhythmically
outside the organism from which they
were taken, for more than two months.
The fragments We're preserved in glass
jars in suitable media.
The experiments are Part of a. Sc
ries TO determine whether or not the
life of tissue can be prolonged indefi-
nitely outside of the body. In this
connection DR.. Carrel expresses this
opinion:
1T is conceivable that the length of
life of a tissue outside of the organ
ism could exceed greatly it's normal
duration in the body, because ele-
mental death may be postponed indefi-
nltely by a proper artificial nutrition Z"
Then follows this statement:
subsequently / developed other
techniques by which it may be possi-
hlo to obtain permanent life of It's
sues" In one of the experiments cited,
a fragment of heart tissue cultivated
Ia hyptonic plasma, pulsated regularly
for several days and grew extensive
ly After two months the tissue was
dissected and small central fragment
removed and put in a new medium. 1t
was found to be pulsating at a rate
that varied between so and 104 beats a
minute. OF this and other specimens,
DIR. Carrel says:
Generally the tissues seemed, after
a time, to ADAPT themselves to their
new condition and very few cultures
died spontaneously. In handling the
cultures were exposed to many acct
dents and microbian Infections.
sIn case of q, local infection the part
not Infected was resected, with cat
aract knife and placed in a new me-
dium. often the culture recovered and
produced several generations of cells
that were free from microbian infec-
ton. Bur when infection was general
lied, the tissues always died rapidly
