Heretofore 1t has been the practice al

rately. Duty would then be paid on the

screenings would be classified as waste

was generally estimated at from :
To 5 per cent. OF every ton OF naxseed

In the shipments at issue the waste was

NEW ROCK ISLAND ISSUE.
Cosrt Asthorises a2.5OO,OOO Ad-
S~tttovau Receivers C~ertiacates.

Judge Charles VI. Hough OF the United
States District Cour signed an order
yesterday authorizing Jacob NJ. Dickin-
son, as receiver for the Rock Island sys-
tenn. to issue 32.500.oo0 additional re-
ceiver's certificates. The proceeds OF the
new issue are to be used in redeeming
the S2.5OO,00O worth Of similar certlf-
Gates issued last July. The old issue
matured on January 8. 1915. and there
was some dissatisfaction expressed over
the failure to pay interest on the certih-
Gates on that date. Judge Housh allows
Receiver Dickinson to pay the interest
out Of the funds on hand.
The new certificates are redeemable on
July Q. 1915. and are TO bear interest at
the rate Of 5 per cent. a year. They
are to constitute a first lien on the
property Of the railroad, having priority
over the first and refunding gold mort
gage bonds.

SQUABBLE OVER
POS1OFF|CE ENDS

Devils Lake, N. d., May 9.-The
spectacular fight over the Devils Lake
postoffice appointment was brought
to a close with the confirmation by
the United States senate Saturday OF
the appointment of Hal S. Davies.
The confirmation ends a battle that
has been waged for many months, in
which John Bloom, local newspaper
publisher, and United States Senator
A. J. Gronna have been the opposing
elements.
The Devils Lake Journals recent
retraction Of charges it had repeated
ly made against Gronna was, at the
time, taken as an indication that Mr..
Davies appointment would be con-
firmed-Mr. Davies being editor OF
the Devils Lake Journal-Bloom's pa
per.
After Bloom failed to land the place
his appointment being rejected, Mrs.
Bloom was appointed. Her appoint
ment met the same fate.
Then Hal Davies. Blooms next
choice for the job, was nominated,
and his confirmation finally attained.
.Mr. Davies was formerly resident
of Fargo being city editor of The
Fargo Morning Call for several years.
He is very well known in newspaper
circles in the northwest, and is a
most competent young man.

n. Y. CONFERENCE WILL
DECIDE PENDING STRIKE

St. Paul, Minn., May 9.-The con.
ference of railroad managers and
trainmen brotherhood leaders in New
York June / will have an important
bearing on the outcome of the wage
dispute that ma develop into coun.
try.wide strike. There will be NO
backing down on the part of the rail.
way managers and it remains to be
seen whether the trainmen leaders
will finally be induced to see that
arbitration is the better way out of
the difficulty.
Pressure is now being brought to
bear upon these brotherhood leaders
to accept arbitration rather than to
call strike. Trainmen themselves,
it is declared, are growing weary of
tine struggle. Many of them feel sat
isfied with present wages and are
urging their representatives not to
hazard present schedules should q
deadlock follow.
That the temper Of the public has
had great deal to do in bringing
about this feeling on the part Of the
trainmen is acknowledged in many
quarters. A spirit Of fairness among
the older employees is also asserting
itself. The men. themselves are be-
ginning to see that q strike would
not meet With public approval and
they are, therefore. casting about for
u better way out CT the difficulty.

gates to the Mississippi Valley Suf-
frage conference today, during an ad.
dress on church cooperation. by Kate
Schritsmier of Wisconsin. The speak

churches offer women first lessons in
government by giving them voice and
votes in church affairs. The dele
gates from all sides Of the hall in
terrupted and demanded to know why
this had been the case. A delegate
from Missouri said ''his preacher had
gone so far as to preach every Sun
day night against suffrage"
What did you do about it?" in
qnired the delegates.
9Quit the church." was the reply,
and the hall rang with clapping Of
