Minneapolis, Minn-Another fire
of mysterious origin at the Minneapo-

plant following several threats to blow
up or fire the place, and the quiet in
vestigation by the Minneapolis and st.
Paul police departments of the theft Of
large quantity of dynamite from the
Aetna Powder company at 1893 Car
roll street, st. Paul, increased the be-
lief that an effort is being made to
wreck local factories engaged in the
manufacture of war munitions.
A wagon loaded with in1ammable
rubbish was mysteriously fred at the
steel company's plant during the night
and drawn along side of the building.
Prompt action by special watchmen
employed by the company and the ar
rival of firemen prevented damage. A
fire in the boiler room of the plant
was put out before it had gained head

WIDOW OF SLAIN MAN IN JAIL
Can Shed Light on Crime, Belief-Mur.
der Complaint to Be Filled
Against Mike kosna.

Minneapolis, Minnesota.-Mrs. John
Dudas, widow of the man who was
shot to death mysteriously a few
yards from his home was taken to
the city Jail and held without charges.
Detectives Lawrence and Brunskill
who have been investigating the mur-
der, said they wished to learn wheth.
er the woman could shed light on
the crime.
An hour before Mrs. Dudas' arrest
detectives finished an examination of
Mike Kosna, boarder at the Dudas
home, with the announcement that
murder complaint would be fled
against him at once.
Dudas was killed on the sidewalk
on Second street between Fourteenth
and fifteenth avenues north. He lived
around the corner at 213 Fifteenth
avenue. The detectives tried vainly
to wiring confession from Kosna.
He was steadfast in his denial that
he knew anything of the crime.

MAY REOPEN FIGHT
. FOR HIGHER RATES
COMMISSION DECIDES "a CENTS
is FAIR CHARGE FOR PAS
SENGER TRAVEL.
CONTRARY TO MINNESOTA LAW
Statute in Force for Nearly Five Years
Prohibits the Charging Within
State of More Than Two
Cents a Mile.

Minneapolis. - Because the inter
state commerce commission has de,
cided that "a cents mile is a fair
rate for interstate passenger travel on
western roads, and the Minnesota law
prohibits the charging within the state
or more than cents mile, the great
tight against the Minnesota law in
which the United States supreme court
once decided against the railroads,
may be reopened all along the line.
For nearly five years the Minnesota
2-cent fare law was fought by the
roads.
Now comes the interstate commerce
commission, in decision, widely COM
mented on, which makes apparently
an inconsistency between what the
commission believes is fair, and what
the Minnesota law imposes.
President Edmund Pennington of
the 500 line, studying the reports of
the decision, intimated strongly that a
renewal of the contest might be ex-
pected. Judge Ira B. Mills, chairman
of the state railroad and warehouse
commission, is already at work, in an
attitude of recognition of the neces-
sity for defense, in expectation that the
roads will again take up the fight.
The big point in the interstate COM
merce commissions decision to grant
the advance to "a cents, in response
to the plea of the western roads for
an advance to 25 cents, is that the
United States supreme court upheld
the legality of the 2-cent fare law
passed by the state legislature of Min
nesota, principally on the ground that
the railroads had failed to show that
the 2-cent rate was confiscatory.
