EVANSVILLE MAN DIES ALONE.

The body Of John Schwartz was
found cold in death at his home in
Evansville, by the people of that vii
lage Saturday afternoon, says the
Alexandria Post-News. Schwartz was
a bachelor and lived alone in his
home. He was missed by his neigh
bors who went to the house and, look
ing through the window, saw the
body lying on the floor. The authori-
ties were called and broke in the door.
DR.. Meier examined the body and de-
cided that the man had probably been
dead two days. He had not been seen
since Tuesday. Deputy Coroner F.
E. Franklin was called and, upon
viewing the remains, decided that an
inquest was not necessary. Schwartz
had evidently died from the effects of
alcoholism. The coroner found about
three quarts of alcohol in the house.
Schwartz was an old resident of
Evansville, his father having lived
there for many years before his
death. His mother, two brothers and
sister live in st. Paul.

tant when corn will be staple If not
the principal crop, in every county in
the state. 1t has already been
brought to maturity in Roseau county
on the Canadian border. The farther
north they are grown the harder do
the hardy varieties become. A decade
age few believed that corn would
ever mature in the Red River Valley.
This year some of the best crops in
the state are reported from there. To
anticipate that corn will ultimately
mature to the states northwest bord-
ers is warranted by the past history
of corn growing in Minnesota, and by
present prospects.
The following table indicetes the
rapid strides that the production of
corn is making in Minnesota. The
estimates for 1910, 1911 and 1912 are
from the reports of the United States
Agricultural Development depart
ment. Those for 1913 were made by
Mr.. Sherman:

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the militant
English suffragette, Is expected to come
to Washington during the latter part OF
November. The National American
Woman Suffrage Association is to hold
its national convention here during the
last week In November, and it is possible
that Mrs. Pankhurst may attend the con-
vention.
Commissioner General Caminetu Of the
immigration bureau said yesterday that
Mrs. Pankhurst will be treated the same
as any other alien when She attempts to
enter this country. She will be treated
strictly according to the law, he said,
no matter now much pressure is brought
to bear. The Washington suffragists
think Mrs. Pankhurst will have no
trouble in gaining admission to this
country.
The Washington suffragi are against
militant methods. at least In this country.
but they consider Mrs. Pankhurst a very
remarkable woman and think she should
be given an opportunity to explain fairly
her reasons for becoming militant.

ENGINEERS CR|T|C|SE
POLICY Of NEW HAVEN
TOO Much Pressure for
Speed" Declared Cause
of Accidents.

NEH HAVEN, Conn. September 10
Inc members Of an official COM
ihlttec OF locomotive engineers have
,oid the management OF the New
Raven railroad what they consider
cd the trouble with the road. TOO much
pressure for speed is their complaint.
The committees statement I'm part is:
Why does not the New Haven go back
to the conditions prior to the fall of
1911 without attempting these proposed
radical changes in relation to its en-
gineers" Under the same rules of oper-
alton the New Haven from 1901 to 1911
was as safe as any in the country. The
present seniority rule was made in 1901
The personnel OF the engineers is virtu-
ally the same today as that prior to
1911.
For eight years or Whereabouts the
New Haven was operated safely 1t car
ricd more than JOOOOO,OOO persons with
only one fatality. In the fall of 1911
came change. Henry J. Horn, genera |
manager, ordered that engineers make
time. Time must be made the order
he was lacked up. The first time his
engine ran by a signal the engineer was
summarily dismissed
Made Travel Unsafe.
The ambition was to make 4 record
of trains better than on any road in the
country. The orders pat out in the fall
of 1911 made New Haven travel unsafe
and demoralized the esprit de CORPS"
New England discussed with interest
today speech made by Gov. Foss Of
massachusetts, at Worcester in which he
attacked the railroad situation yigor-
ously.
THE bankers and trunk lines that
control the New England transportation
systems he said, ARE today interlock-
ea and in that interlocking there is no
voice of New England. The Pujo COM
mittee at Washington has shown clear
Is th.t three financial interests in New
York city are the central money power
of this country. These banks dominate
the transportation system Of all New
England. l do not know Of any section
OF the United States where their DONNA
ton is so strongly or unitedly intrench-
ed.
Pays Allegiance to Union.
.'on the other hand. the engineer of
the locomotive should owe his allegiance
to the railroad corporation. and the cor
poration should protect him and safe
guard him in every way. But today
does the railroad engineer in New Eng
land recognize any allegiance superior to
that or his labor union? Railroad men
will tell you he does not. The reason Is
perfectly clear. 1t is his union that has
multiplied his wages to five fold beyond
what the engineer on the European
train. doing the same work, receives as
compensation.
The engineers of New England. sub
stantially all OF whom are enrolled
in one labor union are able at any
moment to threaten strike and para
lyze the industries of New England in
day. if their demands are not complied
doo Yield to every demand Of the en-
gineers and deny most of the demands of
,Irorganized labor at the foot of the
ladder.
II denounce alike the foreign control
of the New England railroads and the
foreign control of the labor that cap
tains the iron horses at the head of
every passenger train in New England"
