RAILROAD NOT BOUND TO
CHOOSE CHEAPEST ROUTE
Minnesota Supreme Court Passes On
Routing of Freight When Not
Specified BY Shipper.
rRx Associated Press.l

st. Paul, June ga railroad is not
in duty bound, in the absence of ship
ping directions to do the unreason-
able in order to secure an anticipated
rate for the shipper, the Minnesota
supreme court ruled today, in the case
of the Comstock Elevator company
against the Great Northern road on
an appeal by the latter.
The suit was brought to recover for
| alleged excess freight charges paid on
112 cars of grain shipped by the See-
vator company from Comstock Mimi,
to Minneapolis pending the federal in
junction prohibiting putting into effect
the maximum freight rate statutes.
The Great Northern has two lines out
Of Moorhead to Minneapolis, one intra-
state through GAINESVILLE and the 9TH
er interstate running through Brock
enridge and for seven miles in North
Dakota. No shipping directions were
given and in conformity with it's usual
practice and because of the easier
grades, the company carried all cars
save one over the Breckenridge inter-
state route.
The Ramsey county court held that
the railroad had misrouted the ship
ment and was bound to select the in
trastate route which under the law
took a cheaper rate. This is reversed
on the ground that the intrastate ruiz
ing under the conditions governing
would have been unreasonable.

In the legal proceedings that are to

the placing Of o. B. Burtness' name

has always been the case heretofore

If that is ordered by the supreme
court, Mr.. Bangs name then would

the names of H. H. Aaker and J. M.

FIVE YOUTHS ACCUSED
| OF REVOLVING CRIME
Larimore Girl IL Complaining Witness
Against Well Known Residents
of Grand Forks.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 22.--
Charging first degree rape, warrants
were sworn out yesterday afternoon
at Crookston for the arrest Of Roy
Spriggs, Paul Williams, William @.
Hogg, Eugene Coulter and CLIFFORD
Bridgeman, all well known Grand
Forks young men.
Miss Adelaide Chapman, aged %,
OF Larimore is the complaining wit
ness. The case is undoubtedly one OF
the most repugnant that has ever been
brought to the attention of Grand
Forks county authorities.
In the complaint it is alleged that
the crime was committed on June 3,
in the early hours of the morning, be-
tween Crookston and Fisher.
Six days later the rumor that the
crime had been committed spread over
the city and Indignation ran high. In
the meantime the county officials were
ignorant of the facts and not until
yesterday was the case ready for
prosecution.
Miss Chapman's story of the alleged
brutal crime was told yesterday to
County Attorney T. B. Elton. Police
Matron Pearl Blough, Sheriff A. F.
Turner and nearly a half a dozen OF
Larimores prominent business men,
who are aiding in bringing the prose-
cution to an early completion.

with the progress of modern medi-

eFeal diseases is not far distant"
declared Dr. c. A. Scherer, specialist
OF diseases of children, in speaking be-

brought its convention to a close
Thursday
s"But to accomplish this,'' said the
physician, the general public must
know that there are such conditions
and must be brought to realize their
seriousness. No one will deny that the
latter can be accomplished only by
casting aside all prudery and treating
ganization as this.
E'I do not believe that the publicity
given infantile paralysis during the

cation of the layman is essential. It is
hard to make the average parent I'M

did not intend to make this a scare

The Oldest of Elaua.

New York Sun: The Stars and
Stripes is the oldest OF the present
national flags OF all the nations now
at war; and in saying this we do not
overlook the fact that the star and
crescent of Turkey was borne at the
in 1853. 1t was not then primarily a
national banner but a religious en-
blem.
OF other countries the flag of
Switzerland may be traced back to
1889, and red, white and blue we're the
colors OF the Netherlands before 1913.
The oldest European flag is that of
Denmark, which goes back to 1919.
The American ensign dates from an
act of the Continental Congress of
June IA, 177T. BY the treaty of Paris
in 1888 Great Britain implied recog-
milton of the Stars and Stripes as and
when authorized by the Continental
Congress. .-
The British Union Jack in its pres
ent form did not exist before 1901, the
year of the union which created the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. At that time a red satire
cross for Ireland was added to the
crosses OF st. George and st. Andrew.
The tricolor of France is second in
seniority to the Stars and Stripes. 1t
was adopted as the national ensign by
act of Feb. II, 1871, but its use was
not continuous thereafter.
The German red, white and black
dates from Nov Is, 1867, when IL was
formally adopted as the ensign OF the
temporary North German Confedera-
ton, from which, with the aid of the
Franco Prussian war, Bismarck con-
structed the present German empire.
The flag of Austria Hungary, with
its green half stripe, dates from the
formation of the dual monarchy in
1867, The Italian flag was adopted in
1905, but has an interrupted history
The Russian use of red, white and
blue, separately, and not as at present
together, dates back to the 18th CEN
fury. AS early as 1859 Japan used a
red circle, but her present flag was
not adopted until 1859. The flag of
the Chinese Republic is so new that
at recent banquet in New York In
honor of a distinguished Chinese the
hosts, unable to distinguish among
the five equal horizontal stripes, dis
played 1t upside down.
The last flag on the European bat
tie line is the first in respect of age,
therefore, If we consider the battle
flags as symbols Of the nations exist
ing today.
