UNIFORM RULES,
RATES ASKED
OF RAILROADS
Various Roads Charge Differ
ent Rates on Same Goods,
Board Is Told

Recommendation that the rules and
rates of railroads operating in North
Dakota be made uniform in similar
circumstances is contained in brief
of testimony filed By Z. NJ. Hcnd.
ricks, traffic expert for the state
railroad board, in connection with the
boards investigation into the gen.
eral freight rate structure in the
state.
Various railroads. he said, charge
different rates for hauling the same
commodities the same distance be-
cause of difference in their method
of classifying freight. He recon-
mended that Western Trunk Line
rules be made applicable to all the
railroads in the state in order to
establish uniformity. He also recon.
mendcd adoption OF standard set of
rules for application to all railroads
in the state.
One Tariff For All Roads
Another suggestion is the issuance
Of one tariff for the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern. 500 Line, Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Farmers Grain and Shipping company
railroads. The latter IS subsidiary
Of the Great Northern. He recon-
mcndcd that tho tariff be rc-issucd
yearly with never more than three
supplement in effect at; one time.
The result, he said. would be to
make il easier for shippcrss.to find
the correct rates for> commodities IN
which they are interested. Prevent
tariff schedules are not clear, he said,
and the result is that mAny shippers
move material on one rate when "A
lower rate might be applied if they
only knew it. III
Another point brought out in tic
lyricf is that North Dakota intfa-
state rates .arc, in many instances,
higher tbdh rates on sim liar product
in other states. Comparisons are
/ made with rates in Minnesota and
South DakOt4. Usually they. shQg

Big CEREMONIAL
PLANS ASSUMING
DEFINITE FORM
Although Neither Algeria Nor
AL BedOO Officially Participate,
VIII Send Delegations

Plans for the proposed big Shrine
ceremonial, to be staged here next
August at the time Of the annual
Roundup, took definite form last
week following a conference between
L. r. Hathaway, manager Of the
B0zeman Chamber Of Commerce, and
Ralph Robertson Of Three Forks, po-
tentate Of Bagdad temple, Butte.
While neither Algeria temple at
Helena nor Al Bedoo temple at Bil-
ings win participate officially, they
have granted Bagdad temple pesmis-
sion to put on the work here and win
send large delegations Of their mem-
bers to help make the event a sue
cess. Invitations have been extended
to the Shriners Of seven states, Mr.
Hathaway states, and already many
acceptances have been received. The
gathering, it is declared, viii be the
largest in Bozeman's history and one
Of the largest in the Northwest this
summer
Both Algeria and Al Bedoo have ex-
pressed regret that, owing TO the fact
that they are putting on ceremonials
in May and expect to be represented
at the national gathering in Philadel-
phia in June, they found it impos-
sible officially to participate IN the
ceremonial here. Bagdad, however,
is going ahead and win, at consider
able expense, stage the affair m
splendid style.
Various plans and work Of the COM
mittees, according to Mr.. Hathaway
are reaching the final stage ard as
soon as completed, Bagdad's eSecu-
. tive committee win come Go Bozeman
to consult with the Chamber Of Com
merce and committees here. The big

DRAWS
WINTER WEATHER
s FOR BRIEF spell
Warmer Thursday, However,
Roads Reported to be in
Fairly Good Condition

In common with many other Sec
tiOns Of the country, BOzeman and the
Gallatin valley this week experienced
some of the disagreeable weather
that Old Man Winter failed to deliver
at the proper time.
For four days-Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday - the ther-
mometer hung below the freezing
point, while chilly winds and frequent
flurries Of snow added to the gen
eral winter atmosphere. Thursday
forenoon the sun came out and
warmed things up a bit, giving prom
ise of better weather to come.
Previous to the sudden change.
this territory had experienced meal
weather conditions that were more
like those Of May than Of March.
With no precipitation and frequent
winds, the roads had dried until they
were in fairly good condition. It IS
not. believed, however, that sufficient
moisture has fallen since Saturday
to prove detrimental.

JURY DISAGREES;
RETRIAL PENDING
Case, Which Occupied Three Full
Days, Most Bitterly Fought;
Amuses Crowd

After being out ls hours, the jury
in the damage case Of ]. L. Chest.
nut vs.. Edmund Burke reported TO.
Judge A. ]. HOrsLy Sunday noon that
no agreement was possible and was
discharged. According to reports,
the various jury polls showed a tie
six to six.
The action against Mayor Burke
grew out Of a collision in the Huf-
fine lane last January 9 between q
car driven by Edmund Burke, Jr.,
and enc piloted by Mr.. Chestnut. The
plaintiff alleged that Che Burke car
was being driven at a high rate Of
speed on the wrong side Of the. road.
Mr.. Chestnut's machine, a light Sc
dan, was virtually wrecked and its
occupants injured. In his suit the
plaintiff demanded $3.50 for damages
to- his car, $1,000 for personal in
juries, and punitive damages Of
$1,000.
The case was called for trial Thurs.
day and occupied the remainder Of
the week. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by Attorney Frank M. Gray,
and Mr.. Burke by Attorney GeOrgS
D. Pease. The defense attempted "a
prove that at the time Of the collision
the driver Of the Burke car was ob,
serving all the precautions ordinarily
necessary, and that the defendant wa
under the influence Of liquor. The
testimony at times furnished amuse
ment for the crowd that was On han,
for each session of the trial.
The action was most bitterly con
tested, and after the jury had report
ed a disagreement and been dis
charged, it was reported that botl
sides were determined upon a retrial
It is not probable, however, that 1
will be set for this term, which is ex
pected to end this week.

ScOllard was brought to BOzeman
by Sheriff Smith and Deputy Sher-
if Elmore about 3 o'clock Thursday
afternoon and placed in the county
Jail. He refused to make any state
ment other than that he had shot
Randall after a quarrel. He viii be
held without charge pending outcome
Of Randall's injuries.
According to the meager details Of
the affair available, ScOllard had
gone to the ranch, which he rented
to Randall in 1924, to gather up some
things he claimed belonged to him.
BE had loaded q number Of articles
upon a wagon, and then demanded
some old boards which Randall had
used in partitioning off bins in the
granary.
Randall objected and hot quarrel
ensued. Becoming enraged, ScOllard
rushed into the house and obtained a
12-gauge automatic shotgun. Run
ming to the granary he~met Randall
at the door and fired from a distncC
Of about six feet. The charge struck
Randall IN the left groin, making q
large, ragged wound. The strickeI
man half turned and collapsed on th'
doorsill, where he remained until Scol
! lard had notified the sheriff Of thu
shooting.
Scollard then placed Randall in hi
automobile and took him to Belgrade
