FEEDING 10000 REFUGEES
Steps Will Be Taken to Get More Aid
From Congress.

Washington, D. C.-The government IS
feeding 100000 refugees and the num-
Der will be much larger Tuesday. The
reports from the army officers in
charge of the work were so appalling
that steps were taken at once to call
the attention of congress to the matter
and ask that money be provided for
what is likely to be the worst period
of flood suffering ever known in this
country. Gen. Bixby, chief of engineers,
laid before Secretary Stimson the re-
ports that had been coming to his Of

til it has spent $277,179 of army money
to date. The commissary department.
has provided food for the hungry until

st. Paul, Minn.-By filing a petition
in equity in the federal district cou:t
here, the government instituted a sui.

pany under the provisions of the Sher-

The government asks.
That the $4,000, 900 corporation be
dissolved on the ground that it is a
monopoly in restraint of trade.
That injunctions be issued to bar
from interstate commerce the products
OF the international Harvester Company
or of the international Harvester Com.
pany OF America, its selling agency.
That receivers be appointed to take
charge of the property and wind up the
business of the defendant, if the court
finds such action compatible with public

RAILROADS SUBMIT
PLAN TO ENGINEERS
BOTH ARE TO NAME BOARD OF
UMPIRES.
ENGINEERS TURN PLAN DOWN
Commission Refuse to Act as Mediator3.
Chief Justice to Name Umpires in
Case Representatives of Both
Bodies Fail to Agree.

New York.-The conference committed
of managers of Eastern railroads gave
out a statement declaring that they had
proposed that the Interstate Commerce
Commission act as arbitrators of the en-.
gineers' demands, but that the PROPOSE.
ton had been declined by the commits
sion, and that Chief Stone, of the Broth
erhood Of Locomotive Engineers, also had
refused to accept the Interstate Com
merce Commission as arbitrators.
As an alternative the committee sub
mitted to the government mediators a
proposition providing for a commission of
seven, n each to represent the rail
roads and the engineers, and these two
TO elect five umpires. In event these rep
resentatives fail to agree on the five uln
pires, it is proposed that they be ap-
pointed by the chief justice of the United
States.
In explaining their appeal to the In.
terstate Commerce Commission, which
was done, they say, by mediators at the
request OF the railroads, the committee
states:
"The commission controls the railroads
revenues through the rate-making power
and largely controls their expenditures
tsfyugh tlrc administration Of safety APP
.pliance acts and other railroad regisla-
tion. Under these conditions the des-
TIMES of the railroads are absolutely in
the hands of the commission, while the
responsibility for safe and efficient re-
suits still rests with the management Of
the roads, and it is certainly not unrea-
sonable that this tribunal should settle
a controversy which involves the ques-
tion of whether the public in this great
territory shall for a time be deprived
altogether of railroad facilities.

ment increasing the appropriation for

amount should be expended in levee con-
struction was also adopted.
The friends of the Mississippi river in

MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATES
Each Individual Will Vote as He
Sees Fit.

Boston,-Aftcr two conferences the
eight Roosevelt delegates-at-large elect
ed at the primaries to the Chicago con-
v%ention, decided not to take any joint
action on the attitude by Col. Roose-
welt in releasing them from obliga-
ton to vote for him, but to leave each
delegate free to act as he sees fit.
The total preferential vote for the
three Republican candidates is as fol-
lows:
La Toilette, 1856; Roosevelt, 71,153;
Taft, 74,s0s.
Although the Republicans of the state
selected President Taft as their candi-
date for denomination by a majority of
1855 over Col. Roosevelt on the presi-
Dental preference ballot, at the same
time they elected, by a decisive vote,
the entire slate of eight delegates at
large pledged to the former president.
Col. Roosevelt got ten more delegates in
the district elections and President Taft
carried nine districts, so Taft and Roose-
welt each have eighteen delegates from
The state to the national convention.
