never cease going Republican. It :

full accord with the Wilson campaign.
Some were identified With Speaker
Clark's ilI-starred efforts to get into
the White House and have supposed
they would not be received with spe-
cial favor by the President as far as
patronage is concerned. Let it be
said, however, that some of them have
been encouraged slightly by their re-
cent visits to Washington. They have
ascertained that they are not likely TO
be ignored altogether The President
is disposed to consult with all Demo-
cratic followings now and then.
Above all, however, is n desire for
a resurvey of the situation. The adj
ministration has now been running a
little over month. The machinery

has been geared up fairly well. Mat
tiers have been put in order. 1t is
now time to form a judgment of
things. free from the strangeness and
excitement of opening days. Older
politicians accordingly like to come
back and gather opinions about af-
fairs.
They are doing that ard looking
around more carefully and more in
diligently than was possible a month
ago. Word will be taken home and
the state and county organizations
Will govern Themselves accordingly.
With nearly four rs of Democratic
administration 4=1y ahead this in

political individuals They want to be
able to tell the boys around home
about things and they must have
enough of the Washington atmosphere
to make an impression.
Many Democratic visitors, it should
likewise be borne in mind have come
to Washington on invitation. Per

wants to see Them perhaps it is one
of the members of the cabinet, posi-
bly, the Postmaster General, Mr.. Bur

with local organizations and ascertain
whose judgment he can depend upon
in selecting Democrats for postmas-
ters. As there is a considerable
number of Representative Of
Congress in the standardization,

is natural these men should look to
former members of the House. they

Remains in Old
Cemetery Unearthed.

Workmen engaged in excavating for
the cellar under the Gannett garage
on Willow street unearthed, Wednes-
day morning, some human bones, the
lot including some ribs, thigh bone,
and also bones of the leg. The bones
were placed in a box and will be de-
livered to the superintendent ot
burials, for proper disposal. The men
also found remnants of a casket. 1t
will be remembered that few years
ago, when the new building was erect
ed in connection with the publishing
house, men engaged in digging for the
foundation found the bones of a wo-
man and little child. The section
where the remains were found was
once used as a burying ground, prob
ably in the earliest days of the settle
ment of Augusta.

INDICTMENTS At
RED WING SECRET
Three Railways Are Probably In
CIuded in Bills.

Warrants issued on indictments
returned by the Goodhue county
grand jury, sitting at Red Wing
charging violations of the 2-cent rate
law will be served on the railroads
entering the county. Secret bills
were returned by the inquisitorial
body before adjournment. The names
of the defendants were not made pub.
lie. The roads entering the county
and which were concerned in the in.
vestigation are the Chicago Great
Western, the Northwestern and the
st. Paul. s~
Members of the jury and county Of
ficials declined to say whether the in
dictments named merely the railroads
or whether certain officials and en-
ployes also would be brought into
court. The maximum penalty provides
for a term of Imprisonment.
The action of the grand jury is the
outcome of Judge Albert Johnson's in
structions to the jury early in the
month to investigate alleged viola.
tions of the rate law. .s.. ..,s.... 3D..
The grand jury reconvened Monday.
Judge Johnson renewed his demand
for indictments if it was found the
rate law had been violated. He told
the jury that, although certain state
and county officials had been enjoined,
the state itself had not been enjoined
and should not be enjoined.
Judge w. H. Sanborn declined to
answer a question as to whether the
action of the Goodhue county grand
jury in indicting the railroads for
disobeying the railroad rate law of
1907 rendered either the grand jury
or Judge Albert Johnson liable for
contempt of court to the United
States circuit court of appeals.

SEVEN ROADS AGREE 1OTERMs
State Rates Declared Valid by United
States Supreme Court Will BE
Put Into Effect July 10.

Seven railroads operating In Min
nesota subscribed to an agreemen
with the railroad and warehouse
commission at St. Paul to estab
lish the state rates declared valid b,
the United States supreme court or
July 10 and to pay without question
all rebates for excess charges during
the period of litigation of the rate
case.
An opinion by Attorney General
Lyndon A. Smith was read, holding
that the law of 1909, insofar as it pro-
vided that the railroads must pay to
the state commission the total Of the
excess charges under the commodity
classification to be distributed by that
board, is unconstitutional.
AS result of this decision the rail.
roads, in an agreement signed by
their representatives, stipulated they
would pay promptly all just claims
made directly to them and the com.
mission reserved the right to present
claims for shippers and see to their
settlement.
The signing of the peace pact"
came after a debate of more than
three hours, participated in by some
of the leading railroad men Of the
country. Two presidents were pres
ent-Carl R. Gray of the Great North
ern and Edmund Pennington Of the
Soo-and six vice presidents. The lat.
ter were E. S. Kelley, Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul; W. S. Martin,
500; w. G. Bierd, Minneapolis and st.
Louis; w. P. Kenny, Great Northern;
c. G. Burnham, Burlington, and ]. W.
Blabon, Chicago Great Western.
In addition there were present some
of the leading attorneys in the West
and various traffic officials.
Representing the state were Alonzo
J. Edgerton, assistant attorney gen.
eral, who read Mr.. Smiths opinion in
that officials absence; Ira B. Mills,
chairman of the commission, and Com
Charles F. Staples and
Charles E. Elmquist 1t is understood
the meeting was harmonious.
