WHAT KELLOGG DID IN WASH
INQTON

4sFTaH
Mankato Daily Review: The Pho.
neer Press is supporting the candidacy
of Frank Kellogg for United States
senator. In view of this fact it was
doubtless pure accident that the p. p.
in its Sunday edition had an item in
its column Of events rs years ago stat
ing that General John B. Sanborn and
Frank B. Kellogg were than in Wash
ington working in the interest Of
Walter H. Sanborn for the new cir
cunt judgship for this district. Walter
II. Sanborn was appointed and he is
the same Judge Sanborn who rendered
the notorious decisions in the railroad
rate cases by which the Minnesota
laws. governing railroad tariffs were
declared unconstitutional.
These decisions Of Judge Sanborn
made it possible for the railroads of
the state for several years to defy the
law and collect millions of dollars in
passenger and freight tariffs in excess
of that to which they were entitled.
The supreme court of the United States
finally overruled Judge Sanborn's de-
cision but this did not restore to the
people Of the state the millions of dol
lars that had been illegally extorted
from them by reason Of his faulty rul-
ing.
Since this was what Frank B. Kel-
logg was able to accomplish for the
people Of Minnesota in one little trip
to Washington, occupying only a few
days, what may the people of the
state expect from him if he is sent
there for six years as the authorized
spokesman Of the state!

One Hundred Cars Available

Ell Paso, Texas, March 3O.-Accord-
ing to a private telegram received
here Jose Gonzales, prominent mer-
chant of Parral, has raised an army
of 500 men and taken the field against
Carranza and the de facto govern
ment. His men are well mounted,
armed and supplied it is said.
The message said: 1T is not def
nitely known yet where Gonzales will
begin operations. 1t is believed he
will aid Villa, move over to the Tor
reon district and join Canuto Reyes
and then attack the Torreon garri-
son."
Food for U. s. Army Delayed.
Food for the American troops in
Mexico cannot be sent i'm quantities
for several days, according to officials
of the road. Villa and his bandits
when they wrecked the road before
fleeing from Chihuahua put most Of
the locomotives and rolling stock out
of commission.
There are now but two locomotives
available for hauling the supplies and
one of these was taken by the Car
rama government for military pur-
poses. Not more than 100 freight cars
are available for use now, the officials
added.
Many Bridges Are Burned.
The Northwestern lines between
horo ond Toeoc nroraac nonr ;o1,
town General Pershing has establish
ed his base in Mexico are admittedly
in a bad way. Almost all the bridges
which spanned the numerous gulchas
between the two towns have been
burned by briga1ds who have roved
through the country during the last
two years.
Most Of: Cars Need Repairs.
y The equipment OF the road also, n
poor, mort of the carsE being In need
of repairs. At the best OF times a
train leaving Juarez took eight to ten
hours to negotiate the 1853 miles to
Casas Grandes. At present members
Of the quartermasters' staff believe
the trip will not be made in less than
~ TO Is hours.
Complete absence Of any definite
news of the. pursuit of Villa has
caused a noticeable stacking Of inter-
est in the chase as far as the border
Is concerned. 1t is practically &C.
cepted here that the bandit has elud-
ed his pursuers, at least for the pres
ent, and that no clash between the
Villistas and American troops can be
expected in the immediate future.
