Petrograd. Jan. 9.-The town Is
still discussing excitedly the details
Of Rasputin's death. A great deal that

sion regarding certain points. as for
instance. who killed the dog in

clear.
On Friday night Rasputin was
brought from his own house in Gorok-
hovaya street to the house on the
Moika In a motor car, and there was
met by party Of young men whose
names are known but are not directly
referred to: There was some drinking:

however. at this time absolutely op-
posed to state ownership Of packing
plants. cold storage plants and flour
mills.
] am particularly opposed to the
present legislative assembly constitut-
ing itself constitutional convention.
The constitution is an organic law of
the state. formulated by the people.
in the exercise Of their sovereign
rights. I deem it to be contrary to
the spirit Of our form Of government
for any man or act Of men to usurp
the sovereign right of the people.
AS l understand it. the constitu-
tional convention is wanted for the
purpose of raising the bonded debt
limit of our state. and perhaps to re-
move such limit entirely, and the
main object is to get access to our
school funds for the purposes of in
vesting such funds in such enterprises
as the state might attempt to engage,
whether such enterprise would be
continued to the borders OF our own
state or within other states of the
Union.
Is 1t not serious question what
this may lead to? Would this not
subject our school funds, which
should indeed be sacred fund to the
people Of the state. to every radical
move which might materialize and
political upheaval which might
arise? Where the school fund is con-
cerned and the bonded Indebtedness
Of the state is involved. the greatest
degree Of caution, care and prudence
should be exercised. =.
All these matters do not need to
be done at once, hut could be accom-
plished little by little as the finances
of the state would permit and the
public welfare require.
+, You mention in your letter that l
should have the welfare Of the farm
ers at heart. Interference thereto I
have to say that having spent all of
my time upon the farm and having
all Of my interests there. there II no
man that would do more than to
protect the welfare OF the farmers
and to advance their best interests.
but in promoting such welfare and
advancing. such interest the same
must be attended by care and pru-
dsnce and with the highest degrees OF
honesty -oe. purpose.

with cryptic notations on the pages Of
the green book were regarded to-
day by the prosecutor of clearly PROV
lodged against the police.
In front Of some Of the addresses
were figures and notes reading lone
way" two ways" or three ways"
These notations were held by the
states attorney to show the amount
OF division of the graft.
The Interpretation placed on the
chiefs list" by the prosecutor was
that there was no division of the pay
ments In such lists.
The three way" division, it was be-
lteved, meant that the protection
money was to be divided between
Thomas Costello, classed as a go-be-
tween; Mike de Pike" Heitler, known
as the boss of the west side levee,"
and another.
More than 25 persons suspected of

Has Important Clues.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-District At
torney Rotan today planned to con-
tinue his investigation into the rnys-
terry surrounding the murder on De-
cember 20 of Maizie Colbert, though
he announced that nothing had been
revealed to make him change his
opinion that all the circumstantial evi-
dence pointed to Bernard w. Lewis
of Pittsburg as the slayer.
At the same time he gave John
Colbert, brother of the girl, authority
to conduct a private investigation and
to take to the city hall for examina-
tion any one he suspected of having
knowledge Of the case.
Colbert. who Is in business in New
York, says that he does not believe
Lewis killed his sister. He declared
early today that he had discovered
new evidence Of the greatest import
ance."
A shirt. collar and necktie found
on Lewis after his suicide was iden-
tilted last night by clerk in haber-
dashery here as the articles he had
sold the Pittsburg man on the day the
crime is believed to have occurred.

lice. that Lewis had made the pur-
chases shortly before IL a. m. on
December 20. Two other witnesses
stated that they had talked over the
telephone with Miss Colbert after II
o'clock that day. The police had con-
tended that Lewis bought the articles
after the murder was committed.

.lBy Tom Parker Junkin.l

Bismarck, n d.. Jan. 9.-None of
the stalwart senators have been free
from the pressure the Nonpartsa II
leaders have brought to bear, to drive
them into line for the entire progra m.
Letters have been written by thou
sands to their constituents attempting
to make them believe the legislators
were not working for the best inter-
ests of their districts and the state.
Some of these letters have been re-
turned to the legislators themselves.
Some have been accompanied with
words Of praise for the position the
legislators have taken and others have
been fault-finding and even denun-
ciatory, the writer's not taking into
lator Is on the ground and knows
conditions better than the home
folks possibly could. and the further
fact that the legislator is still as hon
est and conscientious when in Bis
marck as when back on the farm or
in the store or in the bank.
Senator A. X. Klrkeide Of Benson
county Is one Of those who have been
bombarded, and in reply to some OF
these letters he has returned very pat
comment. One Of Senator Kirkeide' g
letters of reply to constituent is
worth reproducing. He wrote:
Dear SIT:
am in receipt Of your letter of the
1st instant and in reply thereto I wish
to say that while l am III favor of
some Of the measures you mention,
am opposed to others.
It would, in my judgment. be most
hazardous at this time to, attempt to
carry out all of the program mem
toned In your letter. j
In dealing with the public funds
and endeaypring to promote. the pub
lie welfare, the greatest degree of
care should be exercised and we
should proceed step by step as expert
ence teaches us to be best.
h also wish to call your attention to
the fact that at the time of. my cleo
ton the present program was not an
issue. and believe that that portion
of 1t which relates to a constitutional
convention was not understood by the
people OF the state to be an issue even
at the last. election. II this program
has been an issue even at the time Of
my election, i should not have pledged
myself to its support In detail, or
sought my present position, II. by
20 doing, Il would imply the carrying
out Of such program In detail.

MILL INTERESTS
OF STATE WILL
BfSAFEGUARDFD
Commissioner Johnson and
Rate Expert Report on
Kansas City Hearing.

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 9.-North
Dakota milling interests were we'll
safeguarded at the hearing of the in
terstate commerce commission on the
petition of southwestern millers, held
in Kansas City last week.
The Flickertail state was represent
ed by Commissioner NJ. p. johnson,
who is man of wide experience in
Equity affairs, production and market
Ing. and by Rate Expert James A. Lit
tie. who has had much to do with
milling tariffs in Duluth, Superior and
other Minnesota apd Wisconsin points.
Twelve states We're represented.
The southwestern millers had petit
toned for an adjustment of intrastate
minimum carload rates on flour on a
basis with interstate minimum rates.
The intra-state minimum in North
Dakota and a number of other north
western states is $4,000 pounds, while
the interstate minimum is 10000
pounds. The southwestern millers
claimed that this discrimination in ia
vor OF intra-state shippers was unfair.
The intra- state shippers. consisting
largely Of smaller millers who seldom
would have occasion to use q 10000
pound carload. defended the $4,000
pound minimum as just differential
based upon the relative size and abili-
ties of the INDUSTRY.
1t developed at the hearing that
North Dakota's interests may not inn
mediarely be affected There is, how
ever. a probability that this and 9TH
er northwestern sta tcs. .llltinlately may
he~inyolved, and tafslAE into consider
ton this fact. the Interstate commerce
commission took he southwestern
millers' protest under advisement. and
1t Is anticipated will consider evidence
to be presented by the milling inter-
ests of other states at hearings to be
conducted by their respective railway
commissions. 1t is probable that such
hearing will be conducted in the
near future by the North Dakota rail
board. in Bismarck or some other CEN
trail point.
