finds bullet TO
DESTROY AIRSn|P

Paris, Oct. 3.-An obscure inventor
named Sava Rogozea has just demon
strated discoveries which promise to
revolutionize rifle firing. His invention
consists Of a special cartridge, and dou-
BILE intlammable bullet primarily design
ed for the destruction of air-ships.
In his experiments Rogozea used all
old gun built in 1880. Although his cart
ridge was filled with powder spectators
were %astonished to see neither SIN ike,
flash nor recoil as he fired, the strange
long bullet travelling straight to the butt
instead of executing a series of irregu-
lar bounds as it should have dvne ac-
cording to accepted ballistic laws. The
bullet carried l.. 200 meters, but it IS cal
culated that with a modern rifle it would
have carried 5000 meters.
Rogozea also claims to have invented
a cannon costing only 300 francs, O:
about sixty dollars, easily carried by two
men, which can throw a shell 1000 met

RATE CASE IS
IMPORTANT TO DAKOTA

North Dakota is vitally interested il
Il great rate war which ma grow on
of the reopening of the celebrated DulutI
rate case. The following from The Min.
neapolis Journal of last evening gives the
details of the coming war:
Financial influences that represent ST.,
600, 900 of capital investment, including
eastern trunk lines, steamer lines on the
great lakes and a powerful aggregation
Of transportation, manufacturing and
wholesaling interests represented in the
Chicago Association of Commerce, are
working through every channel and bring
ing pressure from every point to induce
the interstate commerce commission to
reopen the famous Duluth rate case.
The most extraordinary condition ever
known in the western traffic world has
developed from the great case, in which
Duluth, fighting Minneapolis in an eff
fort to deprive Minneapolis Of rail and
lake rates and conserve that advantage
exclusively for Duluth, enlisted the sym
pathy and support Of Chicago. A boom
crang effect viii cost Chicago business
interests hundreds of m lions Of dollars
annually in trade, if it becomes opera
tive, is clearly to be seen ahead, and the
affected interests want the whole matter
taken up again.
Ruling Not as Expected.
The interstate m commission,
in the famous case only recently decided,
granted Duluth a reduction in lake and
rail rates that put it on parity with
Milwaukee and Chicago. But it also re-
.cogniZed the inherent right Of Minnea-
polls, by geographic position, to a share
in through lake and rail rate advantages.
The effect was not what the interests
that started the fight has expected. What
is more, railroad presidents everywhere
have been making speeches at dinners
and meetings advocating an advance in
rates as a necessary step towards eN-
of lines and upkeep of property.
dthis has been going on fore more
than a year.
Now come the railroad rate experts
who have figured what is going to hap
pen to the roads, and incidentally to
Chicago, and the effect is going be ter
rife both with regard to trunk line traf-
tic and lake and rail earnings, if figures
mean anything.

BY LIVE Wire

Fargo, Oct. 3.-Ibey Barnes, the a.
,ycar-old son of DR.. +. M. Barnes, 31S
Third avenue north, narrowly escaped
death Tuesday evening, when he came
in contact with a live wire carrying O.
800 volts. He is convalcscing rapidly,
however, and, aside from some burns on
his left hand which may trouble him for
a time. will soon be completely recOver-

The boy was crossing the corner 1T

The lamp had been out of order for
several days. and Arvig had just put

the light again, by means Of the pull
leys. 1t stuck, and was swinging nea,'

the lamps swinging and thus help the
electrician, and, not knowing there vas
current in the wires, he took hold Of
the lamp. Instantly he was knocked sens:

gloves, pulled him away and saved his
life. He was takn to his home, uncon-

for about fifteen minutes.
There was some hemorrhage from the
lungs during the night, but that las

WIRELESS STATION
At THE UNIVERSITY

Grand Forks, Oct. "a federal license
has been granted to the University Of
North Dakota to permit the operation of
a wireless station for the purpose of
training radio engineers and wireless ex-
perts. The station is in charge of DIR. A.
Hoyt Taylor of the physics department.
He is the official operator. The university
has had a station for the past five years
but has never been permitted to run a
technical training school until this year.
Students will be allowed to lake this
course during the next semester only
and must I've taken up advanced work.
Messages From Fargo.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Taylor was
in communication with a wireless sta
ton at Fargo. He is planning to make
this a daily practice and has already sent
and received messages many times. DR..
Taylor says that there are at least thirty
operators in communication with them
very often. at Fargo alone there are
nearly a dozen stations and DR.. Taylor
communicates with about five of them.

and Commerce association, has some
rate schedules made on basis Of what
will be, if the decision of the interstate
commerce commission stands, and q few
of the commonest illustrations, affect
ing trade territory west of Minneapolis
are as follows:
From Pittsburgh, iron and steel pro-
ducts can be shipped to North Dakota
and Montana points through Duluth, 5
ga cents 9 hundred pounds less than
through Minneapolis, and II cents less
than through Chicago.
From Baltimore, canned goods can be
shipped to North Dakota and Montana
points through Duluth, T cents less than
through Minneapolis and 20 cents less
than through Chicago.
From New York, dry goods, boots and
shoes, hats and caps and like merchan-
disc can be shipped to North Dakota and
Montana points through Duluth, q cents
less than through Minneapolis, and 50
cents less han through Chicago.

from Minneapolis west What the change
will do to Minneapolis is but a trifle COM
pared to what it may be expected to do
to Chicago.
Position of Minneapolis.
w. p. Trickett, executive officer Of
the traffic division of the Civic and
Commerce association, said today that
the attituue of Minneapolis, as defined
by the directors, is passive, and that it
is not a Minneapolis fight. But we are
fully prepared and are more thoroughly
preparing ourselves, and if the petition
of eastern lines that the matter be re-
opened, is granted, we will of course
figure in the case. The attitude of our
organization is a favorable one, mas
much as it is generally understood by
financial heads and executives
we are in no manner concerned with
any effort to reduce railroad rates or
prevent reasonable advances, as 4 whole.
The organization has never made such
Il fight. We are concerned only with the
maintenance of the position of Minnea-
polls, and would of course, fight VigOr-
Ously any proposal that would suggest
reimbursement on 4 basis to give the
roads and Chicago a. better pO-
sition, if it affected us
