ST. Paul, Mimi, June 24.-Seven rail-
roads operating in Minnesota tonight
agreed to abide by the terms of the re-
cent decision of the United States SUI
preme court in the Minnesota rate cases
and announcement was made that the
new rates probably would be placed in
affect by July 10 and that refunds of
overcharges would be made in all cases
where proper proofs of such oyercharges
were produced.
After the confidence a statement to
this effect was issued by the state rail
road commission, signed by seven of the
rine railroads. 1t was not signed by
the Rock Island or by the Chicago
Great Western, which asserted ths {
their earnings were on par with those
of the Minneapolis and St. Louis road,
which road the supreme court held had
shown that the new rates would be

Indictments Returned

Redwing. MINI. June 24--Indictments
charging violation or the 2-cent passengeY
rate law were returned by the Goodhuo
county grand jury late today against rail-
roads entering this county. The roads
affected are the Chicago Great Western,
the Chicago and Northwestern and the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
way.
The indictments are the result of action
taken by Judge Albert Johnson of the
county court nearly a month ago. Al
though at the time the United States
supreme court had not rendered its de-
cison in the Minnesota rate case, Judge
Johnson charged the grand jury that il
should indict the railroads which hao
violated the 2-cent law in the state.
The jury, however failed to return any
indictments, declaring its belief that the
case being then in the courts. it should
not interfere.
Judge Johnson was indignant at the re-
port of the grand Jury and instead of lis
charging it at that time said he would
call the members together later Yes
terday he repeated his demand that they
indict the railroads. The action today re-
suited and the jury was discharged.

Disastrous Explosion in
Buffalo S.0reh0use Caused
by Putting Accumulations
Into the Feed House
Is THOUGHT THAT
MANY OF INJURED
CANNOT SURVIVE
Explosion Tears Out One Wall of the
Wooden Structure and Breaks
Windows for Quarter of
Mile ArOund-Many Are
Badly Burned

Buffalo, N. Y. June 24.--Two men
are known to be dead, so were injured,
some fatally, and four are unac-
counted for as the result of an ex-
plosion late today in the elevator and
grain storehouse of the Hustled Mill
ing company. Fire followed the ex-
plosion and destroyed the wooden
section of the elevator.
The known dead are:
Michael King, a years old; Henry
Vetter, so years old; John Conroy and
an unidentified man.
There are so injured in the various
hospitals of the city, half of whom, ac-
cording to hospital physicians. are SO
seriously burned that they have slight
chance for recovery.
John Conrey, the Nickel Plate engi-
neer, who was blown out of his cab
died tonight.
Firemen in searching for the ruins
of the elevator late tonight discovered
TN body of a man. 1t was burned SC
that Identification is not considered
possible. The finding of this body let
to the belief that several others failed
to escape, and that their bodies are
still in the debris.
Fifty were taken to hospitals, some in
serious condition from burns and broker
legs and arms. That many of the injured
cannot survive and that the ultimate
death list may number Is is an estimate
reached by q canvass of the hospitals.
The explosion was caused by the puff
ing OF dust accumulations In the feed
house, and was of frightful force, tear
ing out one wall of the modern struc
ture and breaking windows for a quarter
of mile around. John conroy, eng
neer of a switch engine. was blown from
his cab and received internal injurie.
from which, 1t is reported. he cannot re-
cover &r
The body of Henry vetter was blown 81
feet and was found under box cal
nearby badly burned. A boy, while run
ming to the fire, was run down by al
automobile and killed
The elevator company employed $50 mer
and. according to Vice President HusteC
OF the company, four are not accounted
for. Employees who escaped declared
however, that many of their fellow work
ers were cut off by the flames and per.
ished.
A dozen box cars loaded with grain were
destroyed The elevator had a capacity
of 300 600 bushels. Half was of old wooder
construction and with its contents was
destroyed. Officials of the company esti-
mated their loss at $4,000, covered by
Insurance.
