MITCHELL DAIRY
 DESIRES BETTER ] RAILROAD RATES
Petitions Utilities Commission For SS-DiScrimina-
 ton Alleged.

A petition of the Mitchell Dairy Co.,, asking for better railroad service and cheaper railroad rates for carrying milk from Washington to Bridgeport came up for a hearing yesterday before the public utilities commission with Attorney D. s. Day of Marsh, Stod- dard & Day, representing the petition CTS. Discrimination was alleged, the claim being made that although the milk train reached Bridgeport at S:30 o'clock at night it was frequently mid night before it could be unloaded. He said that although the rate from New town to Bridgeport over the same dis tance is IS cents a, can while 25 cents rate of $125 a car mile the charge per can would be only half the amount at the present shipping capacity of the company Of 120 cans a, day. If a car should be allowed at the price named it would be -4ossible to unload immediately and avoid the loss from sour milk
 Attorney B. I. Spock appeared for the New Haven road, denied any dis elimination since the rate of $125 per car mile is not in effect among com petftorS of the dairy and that the pc tttion of the concern is to secure more profit and give the road less. It was claimed that other shippers had not been dissatisfied The hearing was continued until counsel for the peti- mission concerning the rulings of the interstate commerce commission in the matter. Attorney Spock also desired time to report concerning a possibility of earlier delivery under the present system

MINNESOTA STATE LANDS.

 Most of the states to which the na- tfonal government has made large grants of land find little satisfaction in telling how they nave disposed of it. To this rule Minnesota is a notable exception.
 While other states were selling their public lands for a dollar or so an acre and using the money for current eE- penSes, Minnesota, was selling the tim Der off its lands at a good figure. and then selling the land 4tAeIR for agr1cul- tural purposes for s5 an acre; ft put the total proceeds Into a permanent fund for the benefit of its schools and of it's charitable and renal fnstftu- tions The fund now amounts to aI- most $29, 900, 900, and gives AIinnesota. d larger school fund than that of any other state in the Union. Moreover, Minnesota still owns 2,5O0,O00 acres. mainly in the timber district, and from the sale of the timber and of the land to settlers the state will double it's present permanent fund before many years have passed. More important still, 1t owns 10000 acres of land in which there are rich deposits of iron The state has leased the iron ore land for long periods at advantageous terms. The land has already yielded $3,OoO,O00. and under the present contracts 1t will yield about $15O, ,OO0, 900 in the next gen eration Thus, by 195O Mtnnesota eE- pects to have a, permanent fund Of 1ui- Iy $2OO, OOO 600, which will yield, at per cent, $s,OOO,eOO q. year for it's schools and other public institutions

The newest evening gowns have the corsage cut very low in the front, and show V in the back, which reaches almost to the waist line.
 A new street coat has a panel in serted down the middle of the back, which is cut six inches longer than the sides, hanging like a sash to the knees.
 There are times when the small hat, which is unrivaled in popularity, cannot be worn. The picturesques gown demands a picture hat of correspond ing beauty.
 Amongst winter fashions, black chiffon velvet and velours' souple in dark shades of taupe, elegant gray, nordore, seal brown and dark current red are immensely popular. Coiffures for evening are decidedly oriental, being close-1tting jeweled caps or fflets of jewels, which are sim gle strands of bri1iiants or pearls worn low over the forehead.
 Black velvet hats nave created a great furore, and they are made in many styles, mostly small and close fitting, while wing bows, stiff and originally shaped, plume fantasies and paradise feathers are among prOmf- nent trimmings.
 Everywhere we see ropes of bril- liants and pearls employed as shoulder straps as corsage decorations or sweeping along one side, 1ooped over 8 pannier or flowing free from the waist, sometimes caught up in a fes- toon style, with a jewe1ed ornament.

New York, Dec. 12-The trial of Hans Schmidt, slayer of Anna Au- muller, is providing many sensations. Schmidt is claimed to be insane by his attorneys, w. M. K. O1cott and Terence J. McManus. MT. Olcott and Mir. McManus are two of the highest priced lawyers in New York city. MT. Olcott was formerly district attorney, and MT. McManus was formerly first assistant district attorney. A friend of Schmidt is said 70 have supplied funds. There was a pathetic scene in the court of general sessions when Hans Schmidt, discredited priest and self confessed slayer, was greeted by his aged father, Heinrich Schmidt, and his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Schadler, who have come here from their home in Germany to aid the defendant at his trial for the murder of Anna Au- muller. The father was bowed down with grief, and Schmidt, who sat un-
 moved while witnesses told the har- rowing details of his crime, seemed to be depIy. affected. The contention of the defense is that Schmidt is suffer ing from dementia praecox. Dr. Car los F. Macdonald, pr. William Ma bons pr. A. Ross Diefrendorf and Dr. George H. Kirby, four of the most noted alienists in the profession, came to court to testify that Schmidt is shan1ming and that he Is really sane.
