new schedule of classifcations and
freight rates for North Dakota, iden-
tical with the freight rates now effec-
tive in Minnesota by the decree of the
railroad commission of the state un-
der the provisions Of the so-called
eastman act, was considered before
the senate railroad committee this
afternoon, but no action was taken.

next Monday morning.
Supporters of the bill appearing be-
fore the committee, were Representa-
tive Dupuis and A. Lindquist Of Fair

mercial club: Charles j. Murphy OF
Grand Forks, representing the Great
Northern; Henry Blakely. of st: Paul
and w. A. Burnham, ST. Paul. rep
resenting the Great Northern, oppos-
ed the measure.
Mr.. Remission advised the senate
committee to move slowly in attempt
ing any such move as a complete re-
molding of freight rates. He feared
that hastily/made rates might oper-
ate to the disadvantage Of western
North Dakota.
Mr. Murphy malntd1neQ tnat leSlS-
lative made rates were not proper

mission-made rates. he contended,
were more scientific, and should be
favored. This legislature, he said, al
ready had gone on record in the
adoption Of Senate Bill II, by which
the railroad commission Is given pow
er to establish distance tariff. Now
for the legislature to come in and at
tempt to esta ablish rates. without
studying freight conditions. would be
backward step, said Mr.. Murphy.

ed themselves to the possible effects

FIND SPY IN FRANCE
 WORKING AS COOK

PARIS, June 23.-A French official who had had in his empty for some time little German cook, in rearrang- ing his furniture discovered small fortune hidden behind a buffet, ann bunting to $20,000 in French money.

 The police made inquiries about her movements ecently and she disap- peared The official and his habitual guests were well placed to acquire confidential information regarding the national defense. That fact and the discovery of her unsuspected wealth led to the suspicion that the cook might have been in communica- tion with the enemy The fortune has been sequestered
