TRIAL OF MENDEL BEILIss.

New Orleans Times Democrat: The
trial of Mendel Beiliss, begun at Kiev
last Wednesday, reveals Russian ius-
tice' in its most sinister aspect. Bell
is, a poor Jew laborer, is accused Of
the murder of Audrey Yuschinskv, q
christian boy, for ritualistic urposes
The murder occurred on March 20.
1911. Beiliss was at first arrested, it
appears, because he happened to be
the Jew nearest the spot when the
oody was found. Subsequently the
theory Of ritual murder" was evolved
IN the testimony Of a woman who
said that another woman had told her
Of seeing the boy AGAR the brickyard
in which the accused was EMPLOYED.
For more than two years the unfor-
tunate has been held in jail while eff
forts were making, by order of the
Russian minister of justice, to find
some evidence to bolster the charge
against him.
The chief of the Kiev detective de-
partment, who investigated the case,
reported that the murder was not
done for ritualistic purposes, and that
BeilisS was not the murderer. Bv way
Of reward he was twice tried and fin
ally convicted of manufacturing evi.
dence' in favor of the accused. Pros.
ecutor after prosecutor was removed
for failure to make out q case whose
success depended upon the govern
ment's ability to prove thai the Jew.
ish faith recognized the use of human
blood for religious purposes. The in.
dictment upon which Beiliss finally
has been brought to trial is so weak
that The Kievlianin, an ant Semitic
newspaper denounced it as Infamous
The three carefully selected experts
upon whose findings the indictment is
drawn, admit that "it is impossible to
confirm the Use Of christian blood nv
the Jews from the knowledge of the
ordinary sources Of Jewish religious
teaching.
1t is hard to believe that any intel
ligent or ordinarily well-informed
Russian credits the cruel superstition
upon which the Russian government
bases it's accusation against Beiliss,
And for that reason it is very difficult
to escape the conclusion that the pur-
pose Of this remarkable prosecution is
to encourage the BLACK hundreds"
and invite fresh pogroms. The ex-
traordinary persistence Of the minis
try Of justice, it's punishment nf
agents who virtually established the
falsity of the charge, the fact that II
has spent two years in working IN a,
case which upon presentation is de-
nounced as infamous by an anti Sem
itic newspaper, clearly indicate thai
the Russian government is serving IN
this weird prosecution other ends
than those Of justice.

likely candidate for the United States
senate according to he little bird
which has chirped this interesting bit
of political new and the gentleman
in question, when pinned to the wall,
did not deny that the reporter had the
right line on the plans of the demo
cratic brethren in North Dakota so far
as the senatorial race is concerned.
But Mr.. Burke will not be required
to give up his present snug place at
Washington as treasurer of he Unit
ed States, should he run for the SEN
ate as is being quietly planned, &C
cording to the best information. He
will retain the place and will enter
the race with no less a person stump
ing the state in his behalf than Pres
ident Wilson himself, if things work
out as planned and the boys decide
upon him as the Moses to lead them
to victory and incidentally add an
other member to the official family OF
the president in the upper house OF
congress-. w. L. Purcell Of Wahpe-
ton is also being considered, 1t is
limited, but the sentiment favors run
ming Mr.. Burke, he being considered
the strongest man the party can put
up.
Think House Safe.
With the house of representatives
fairly safe for the democrats, the
leaders are anxious to add another
United States senator and that there
will be work cut out for the repub-
lican making the race, is an open
declaration of democratic party lead
crS.
Attorney General Miller is said to
have declared himself a candidate foI
the senate on the republican ticket
ana tho mama Of Gov r. p Hanna
has been freely mentioned as a pos
sible candidate. The governor has
avoided the subject Of politics when
in Grand Forks, and la~ughingly side
steps the United States senate pro-
position. 1t is taken for granted that
Senator Gronna will be a candidate
for the senate to succeed himself.
In the Second.
In the second congressional dis
trict. CONGRESSMAN George NJ. Young
of Valley City is to have as his OPP
ponent Atty. George p. Jones Of La
Moure, according to the latest poll
teal gossip from a source considered
reliable. Mr.. Jones is said to be an
aggressive campaigner n has a
strong following. thus making it prob
able that the Valley City legislator
will have his work cut out for him.
In the Third. 49,.
Now comes a ~well-founded rumor
to the effect hat Atty. T. D.. Casey of
Dickinson has aspirations to become
a member Of the lower house at
Washington and that he will be the
democratic candidate. Hon. p. D.
Norton, the present incumbent. will
undoubtedly make the race on the re-
publican ticket, according to the fore
cast at present.
The Progressives.
The democrats are keeping a care
full hold on the pulse Of the progress

reason. 1t has come to be talked

DEMOCRATS LOOK
TO GRAND FORKS
WELL-INFoRMED PARTY LEADER
FAANKLY DISCUSSES sITUA-
TON, SAYS GRAND FORKS HER.
ALD-BURKE TO MAKE RACE
FOR SENATE.

Grand Forks Herald: If a certain
well-informed and prominent member
of the democratic party in North Da-
kota caught the right rumble of politi-
cal forecast while keeping his ear close
to the ground and incidentally visiting
with "the boys" at that little informal
gathering in Fargo the other day,
Grand Forks is to be prominently on
the map during the next political
struggle, for even those in power at
present admit there is liable to be one.
1t is pretty we'll understood that j.
Nelson Kelly, head Of the Grand Forks
city schools, is being quietly groomed
for the nomination for governor Of
North Dakota, and that ex-Mayor
George E. Duis will lock horns with
Hon. H. T. Helegsen in the congress-
ional ace from this district. These
gentlemen plead ignorance but while
not disputing their word, the fact is
an open secret that their names are
being prominently advanced for the
two places. Whether or not they will
accept the call, is another matter to
be determined later.

west, nan republicans are quietly
returning to their party and the split,
which democrats admit brought them
such happy results, may not continue
for all time but, on the contrary, a re-
united party found presenting a
somewhat determined wall to buck
against when the next presidential
election comes around. This was
gathered in a recent interview with a
democrat who happened in" at that
Fargo meeting.
A prominent democrat Of this state,
member Of the state central commit
tee and admittedly a leader in the
%counsels Of the sachems. did not
dodge the situation when the reporter
put it up to him. The democrats hope
for and expect support from those Of
the progressive party who followed
Colonel Roosevelt off after the Chica-
go convention.
They, the democrats, are "d-e-light-
ed" at every indication of prolonged
life on the part of the moose element
and welcome with cheerful gratiflca-
ton the arrival of every walking del
egate who may come to aid in encOur-
aging Tn Weak-kneed ones and con-
tinuing them lin the faith.
Plainly speaking a continued re-
publican split means continued demo-
cratic supremacy, according to the
wise ones IN the party now IN power,
d fact admitted by a prominent lead
err in a recent interview.
With the real battle still some dis
lance off. these early-day plans Of
members OF the democratic party in
the state. the unique possibilities of a
treasurer of the United States run
ming for the senate with the president
stumping the country for him, the ar
ray Of good men and true to be put I'D
by both parties, IL the signs Of the
times point correctly and the report
er was correctly informed, prospects
for lively times are excellent, accord
ing to republicans with whom The
Herald obtained interviews yesterday,
following the little chat with zone Of
the boys who was at that Fargo
meeting.

IT'S NO INCREASE
SAYS Mr.. M'kNIGHT
RAILROAD & COMMISSIONER SAYS
COMMISSIONS RULING WILL
DECREASE TARIFF.
Pine Bluff and Arkansas River Rail-
way COmpany's Complaint
Pending.

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. 19.-The
question of rates applying and to be
applied on the Stuttgart branch of
the Cotton Belt system has caused
widespread interest and comment
during the last "a hours. w. f. Nc
Knight of the Arkansas Railroad
Commission declared yesterday that
the order OF the commission authori-
ziag the railroad officials to apply
court tariff single and joint line basis
of rate on the branch road does not
increase the present rates now in
force, but that the order means a
lowering of the rates. He said yes
terlay that officials of the Cotton
Belt had acknowledged to the COM
mission that the Stuttgart branch is
a paying proposition. An official of
the road said Wednesday, while talk
ing to a reporter, that the Stuttgart
branch is being operated at loss.
The same official was satisfied with
the order that the court tariff be
reapplied. The commercial organiza-
tons of Pine Bluff communicated
with the commission yesterday and
were hard to pacify. They are con-
tending for lower rates OH the
branch and the information given in
the Gazette story to the effect that
the order was an increase in rates
caused protest.
Mr.. Meningitis Statement
In speaking of the rate question
affecting the branch road, Mr.. Nc
Knight said:
Some time in July the Traffic Blu
reau of Pine Bluff brought to the at
tention of the Railroad Commission
the fact that very high rate existed
on the Pine Bluff and Arkansas River
railroad. They afterward added to
that complaint the same complaint
about the Stuttgart branch. These
higher rates being caused by reason
of differential of the rate then
being applied over the trunk lines in
the state. The commission at that

time from the data at hand decided
that because of the fact that st.
Louis Southwestern practically own
ed and operated these lines and that
the rate under the court tariff was a
very high rate, the differential should
apply. This rate remained in effect
until by operation of law on July "a
the Commission Standard Freight
Distance Tariff No. 8 was put back
into effect. This tariff carried the
same differentials that had been for
marty complained of. The carriers
commended that their earnings on
these branch roads were not suffi-
cient to apply rates applicable in
Schedule NO. 8. Whereupon the
commission on last Friday and Satur-
day, made a full inspection Of the two
short lines and reached the conclu-
sion that the Stuttgart branch was a
paying property and that joint rates
should apply, which was practically
acknowledged by the Cotton Belt au-
thorities. They stated that if the
commission would permit them for
the present to operate under the
rates recently put in by the COM
mission they would Immediately
upon the general hearing OF rates

much lower than the rate have yer
been on that line. Even the rates

much lower than the rates formerly
enjoyed on that line

1t is claimed for the Free machine
that it embraces all the good features

is such that the operator is not fore
