SAYS JUNE II MEET
NAMES LA TOILETTE
Hopkins of Committee of 48 Says
There's a Difference Between the
Chicago and St. Paul Farmer-La-
Dor Conventions.
PARTY NOT BUILT
ABOUT ONE MAN

NEW housekeeping to Repub-
lican and Democratic misrepresenta-
tions of the movement for a new
party, j. A. H. Hopkins of the Com
mittee Of As and members of the ma
ticnal committee for the st. Paul
June II convention, explains the diff
ference between the present move
ment and that of 1912.
"Ihe 1912 movement began in a
political personal controversy at the
top" he says, ''while the new party
of 1924, founded upon the economic
issues which require political express
sion, is built up from the bottom"
LaFOllette is the logical candidate
for the new party, Hopkins says. ''He
viii undoubtedly be nominated on
June II unless his health fOrbids.
BIT this movement is not built
around any personality, and if the
senator is unable to take on the
strain Of the campaign, another
standard bearer will be nominated"
Hopkins denies rumors from Wash
ington that LaFollette is unsympa-
thetic to the new party group which
VIII name its candidates at st. Paul
June II. Every plank in our plat
form is included in the official La
Toilette platform" Hopkins points
out.

as any request from a constituent

The inquiry was made, and the infOr-

just as dozens of such inquiries are
answered daily by every senator's
Office assistants.
The committee did not seem to be
nearly so much impressed by the con-
tents of the kilograms as by Camp

Solicitor Booth of the Interior De

RUMOR OF BIG HENRY
FORD TRANSACTION
Local Report Of Negotiations for
Milwaukee and Montana Power
Reach East; Not taken Seriously
in Some Quarters.

Reach East; Not taken Seriously
in Some Quarters.
Below is printed today's financial
story carried by the Universal Press
service. 1t deals with the account
Montana has heard for several
months of rmOred negotiations by
Henry Ford for the purchase eli the
Milwaukee (St. Paul. railway and the
Montana Power company. The story
was telegraphed to G. F. Tribune
Tuesday night and is published with
attention called to the adverse opin-
ions expressed by different authorities
quoted. High officials of the Montana
Power company recently stated IN
Great Falls that rUmors of negotia-
tions by Ford for the purchase Of the
Montana Power company were with
out foundation.-Gr Falls Tribune.
(By Richard Spillan)
New York. Nav g. Wall Street
has heard again that Henry Ford was
negotiating for the purchase of the
ST. Paul railway and the Montana
Power company. The St Paul is one
of the longest railroads i'm the country
with q mileage of q little over 100000
miles. The rWnor, which originated
I'M Montana went en- to say President
Bryan of the ST. Paul and President
John ID. Ryan of The Montana Power
company would confer in New York
on May p with the Ford interests.
Talk had it that Mr.. Bryan is hur-
rying back from China where he
went short time ago with the inten-
tion eff remaining until July. The ru-
NOR of negotiations by Ford for the
St Paul and Montana Power company
was not taken seriously in many
places where it was discussed. The
Montana Power company is one OF

United States and supplies power to
the Anaconda Copper Mining cOmpa-
ny and about 600 miles Of the st. Paul
railway.
Speculation as to what Ford would
do with the Power company was dis
cusSed in various quarters. The view
was expressed that the automobile
king may be planning a high tension
power system covering the northern
part of the country, particularly the
northwest, connecting plants on the
Missouri and Ohio rivers with power
plants in West Virginia and perhaps
with MuscleShcals.
AS to the st. Paul railway, it would
afford Ford an outlet to the Pacific
coast in case he intended to push the
sale Of Ford cars in foreign cOun-
tries The st. Paul covers territory
taking in Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul
Minneapolis, Sioux Falls, Butte, Great
Falls, Seattle Tacoma and other i'm
portena points.
Wall street contended however,
that the thing is impossible. The
Ford company's latest balance sheet
disclosed cash running into the mil
lions. Perhaps Ford thinks he can
make q success OF the st. Paul as ne
did with his D. T. & I. road.
On another subject the UniversaPs
financial letter says:
The principal buying going on is in
stocks and not in bonds because Of the
lower YIELDS. Brokers report a num-
Der of big investors entering the stock
market following an absence OF

. sues Colorado Fuel & Iron holds the

ties viii be capitalized, and one new
share Of Oh q Iron stock viii be eX-
changed for one share of the present
stock outstanding. While it is denied
that the company has brought il
wells on its property it is learned
from another source that three wells
were capped last year.

costs was unfair to the railroads.
 His letter also left the inference that the elimination of four crossings in Birmingham at one time was not neces- sary to the public convenience and safety.
 The city, he continued, should not ask the carriers to voluntarily partici- pate in the erection of the Twenty fourth street viaduct while it is, at the same time, seeking to force them to construct underpasses against their will at three other crossings.
 Mir. Stanley suggested that, if the commission wishes to avoid long delay, further efforts to effect a compromise are in order. He said he would like the opportunity for a further discussion with the commission.

ARPLANE LINE TO DISTRIBUTE
 DAIRY PRODUCTS
ChicagOan To Establish Service Covering Flor
 ida And Georgia

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Oct. D. With the purchase of 800 acres of prop erty lying near the eastern coastal highway, near Jacksonville, today by Captain B. B. Iipsner, mechanical engineer of Chicago. it was announced that landing field for airplanes will be constructed and the transportation ny a;rplanes of dairy products through out the state and Georgia will soon be- gin.
 In addition to the 800 acres of land p,.rchased, a transaction was made yes terday afternoon for 720 acres for the erection of modern buildings and up- to-date dairy farms.
 It is his plan, says Captain Lipsner, 70 purchase several airplanes for the purpose of carrying milk, butter, cream and cheese to the surrounding towns .tnd cities.
 Captain Lipsner is credited with be- ing the originator of the United States air mail service. He was first superin- tendent of the service. having been ap- pointed by the postmaster general. He sefved 2S months in the United States army as captain and is nationally known.

CLOE PROPOSES DRASTIC ACTION
 IF ROADS BUCK
Would Protect Crossings By Gates And Two
 Watchmen

If the railroads begin court action to block execution of the grade crossing relief ordinances adopted Tuesday by the city commission, Safety Commis- sioner Cloe will take full advantage of the municipal police power to lesson hazards at the crossings until the litiga- ton is finished, he announced Wednes- day.
 Cloe said he would introduce ordi- nances recurring the railroads to erect gates and station at least two watch men at every crossing in the city, and that other measures would prevent switch engines from pulling more than two freight cars over the crossings at one time. In addition, he said a close tab would be kept on the blocking of crossings, and that arrests would follow every violation of city code sections.
 Enforcement of such regulations would put the railroads to considerable trouble, and Cloel believes that drastic action by the commission would quickly put them in a mood to confer with 3 view of settling all differences out of court.
 City's Right Legal
 "At a recent conference with the railroad executives" Cloe added, T mentioned the fact that the commission would have the right to take these steps and the officials urged that nothing along this line be done. However, these crossings are dangerous, and intend to go as far as our authority will let us to make them as safe as possible until such

street, were mailed Wednesday to the headuuarters of the railroads involved. Since 90 days is allowed the carriers m which to begin construction work, the commission does not look for the %purt fight to be started for more than two months.
 A letter received Wednesday from W. L. Stanley, vice president of the Sea board Air Line railway, left no doubt of the intention of the roads to resist the city's ordinances in the courts.
 Proposal Said Unfair
 Mir. Stanley said the city's proposal to make the railroads bear 70 per cent of the cost was unfair. He added that crossings now are being eliminated in many states on 50-5O basis, but that, in his opinion, even this division of
