RATE
HEARING BEGINS
Eastern Lines Fighting to Raise
Freight Tariffs.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Railroads of
the country have felt the burden Of
the increased cost of living, like all
ether enterprises or individuals, but
unlike all others have not been per-
mitted SO far to raise their prices or
adjust their charges in recognition
OF that burden" Daniel Willard,
president OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, said in arguing before the
interstate commerce commission for
authority to increase freight rates
approximately 5 per cent in the ter
ritory east Of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
In presenting the facts upon which
the railroads rely to prove the neces-
sity for an increase in rates, Mr.. Will
lard asserted that during the last
three years the railroads in the ter
ritory affected had spent in proper,
ty investments $500, 000, 900, or at the
rate of 5000, 000, 900 per year. Never.
theless. he added, because of the
fact that operating expenses had in
creased faster than operating reve
nues these railroads earned in the
year ending June 80, 1913, less by
~$16,311,321 than for the year ending
June 80. 1910.

OPENS DEBATE ON
CURRENCY MEASURE
Senator Owen Says Bill Will
Prove Beneficial.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Under the
present system the bank reserves Of
the country are concentrated largely
in New York, where they are loaned
in speculative accounts on the New
York stock exchange, Senator Owen
asserted in opening the debate on the
currency bill in the senate. He said
the administration bill as reported by
the Democrats of the banking COM
mittee would remedy this condition.
Senator Owen said that by the crea-
ton of a market for discounted COM
mercial paper and by mobilizing the
reserves in public utility regional
banks the measure would remove the
great dangers of the present financial
system.
The senator declared that the New
York bankers who hold a large per
centage of the country's reserves are
forced to place these reserves in call
loans on the stock exchange.

SW|NDLED OUT OF $1,000
Mapleton Man Purchases Fifty-five
Head of Cattle in Confidence
Game at C~rookston, MINI.

Ole Nelson Of Mapleton purchased
at C%rookston. Mimi, for s. 5000 and sold
them to another man for 5 $4,000, receiv-
ing a check on a Euclid, Mimi, bank.
But Nelson found later he had pur-
chased cattle that the first seller did
not w and that he had sold cattle to
the first mans confederate, with the
result that instead OF being $1,000
ahead he was out Just $4,000. The two
clever crooks are missing.
Nelson fell in with the first man
while considering a purchase of cattle.
The man showed Nelson a fine herd in
a Crookston corral, owned by Walker
Bros, meat dealers. While Nelson
was considering the matter the second
swindler approached with an offer Of
$4,000 for the cattle, stating that he
understood he had purchased them.
Then Nelson lost no time in closing
both deals. He received a 50, 1000 check
from the second man, who gave his
name as Fred l.. Tanner, being assur-
ed by the Euclid bank cashier, as he
supposed, that Tanner had $4,000 on
deposit there. In reality Nelson had
talked with Tanners confederate over
the telephone instead of to the Euclid
banker.
When Nelson deposited the $4,000
check in the Cass County National
bank in C%asselton inquiry was made at
Euclid, with the result that the swindle
was eEDOSed.

While Miss Wilson was the thir-
teenth bride going forth from the

DR.. J. H. Griffin, whose wife commit
ted suicide after the exposure of al
legged misconduct with George Hart,
former state game warden, convicted
recently in Ward county court of
charges growing out OF the scandal,
was ordered out Of Ryder by resolu-
ton of the town board OF selectmen.
DR.. Gritfin's failure to appear at
Minot during the trial of Hart, in

and eliminated in the public meeting
of the selectmen.
Griffin has notified the board that
he will leave town.
