The agitation that is being made for the increase in salaries of judges of the district and| supreme courts of the state is producing some very poignatt reasons for the increase. ;shame of a great, rich state pay- ing men to.whom it intrusts th. administration of justice, the preservation of human rights, the maintenance of law, salaries that corporations created by the state would feel ashamed to ask lawyers to serve them for—it is due to these that the legislature is asked to add $1,500 a year to tho pay of district judges getling $3,500, and 50 per cent to that of the judges of the supreme bench. “We ask the legislature to con- sider whether it thinks that 'the square thing is done, taking into consideration the knowledge, the quality of brains, the amount of actual labor done, when it . pays its judges of district courts 'but $3,500 and of its supreme court but $5,000 a year, while it once permitted an inspector of illum. inating oil to rake off $20,000 a year and now salaries him at $2,400 a year,” KNOCKS OUT C. 0. D. House Committee to Favorably Re- port Brantley Bill. ‘Washington, Jan. 2 —The house committec on judietary has decided to make a favorable report on the Brant- ley bill making intoxicating liquors a speclal class in interstate commerce and forbidding the collection of money LIQUOR. Tae St. Paul Dispatch contains the following concerning the matter: i “For a time t)» which the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, the state of Minne- sota has paid judges of its dis- trict courts $3,500 a year, in full compensation for their services. The state permitted the counties of Ramsey and Hennepin to add from their own treasures $1,500 to the salaries of their judges. The state has remunerated the men who sat npon the bench of its highest tribunal with 35,0001 annual stipend. A lawyer who! once sat on that bench is paid three times that amount by a corporation. Lawyers try cases: before our $3,500 judges who' earn annually two or three or more times that sum. True, there are lawyers galore whose' earnings do not reach within' hailing distance of the judicial silaries, but that is due either to} failure of litigants to appreciate their abilities or to modesty on their part in making charges. ¢It is not everyone so happily i on C. O. D. shipments of such liquors in states where the sale of liquor is forbidden by the state laws. This bill is not as broad as the Littlefield bill, which the committee reported a fow days ago, and it is believed by Representative Brantley to be a measure which will not be found un- constitutional. The measure does not attempt to interfere in any way with the transportation of liquors into pro- " hibition states, but deals only with the actual collection price of intoxicat- ing liquors. Only three members of the committee, Representatives Little- field, Plerce and Tyrrell, voted against the bill. IN NORTHWESTERN STATES. Congress Extends Time of Settlement on Homesteads. ‘Washington, Jan. 2° —Persons who have made homestead entry on land in the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, ‘Washington and Wyoming, where the period in which they were required by law to establish residence expired after Dec. 1, 1908, are granted under a joint resolution passed by the house during the day until May 16, 1907, in which to make such settlement. The provision also appiles to soldiers’ de- cleratory statements. ) FIRST TIME ON RECORD. Pacific Coast Towns Getting Coal From the Orlent. Tacoma, Wash,, Jan. 27 —Within the next thirty days several cargoes RESOLUTION IN HOUSE TO PRO- VIDE FUNDS TO CONDUCT RAILROAD SUITS. TOTAL APPROPRIATION OF SEV- ENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL- LARS REQUESTED. I St. Paul, Jan. 26.—To provide ‘money for the aid of the attorney gen- eral in the different lines of work he has taken up L. C. Spooner of Morris, chairman of the railroadcommittee of the house, introduced a resolution gliv- ing the attorney general’s department an additional contingent fund of $25,- 000 for each of the calendar years of 1906, 1907 and 1908. According to the bill the money is given for “the purposes of defraying the contingent expenses of the attor- ney general’s office, including the pay- ment of; reasonable compensation to ' such additional counsel as the attor- 'ney general-may from time to time find it necessary to employ to assist him in handling the legal business of the state promptly and efficiently, and for the additional purpose of employ- ing an assistant to the attorney gen- eral durihg the legislative session whose duty it shall be to aid members or committees of the legislature in the framing of bills and in the investiga- tion of matters pending before the legislature.” Mr. Spooner says, however, that the special purpose of the appropria- tion is to help the attorney general in fighting the suits he has brought agalnst the Great Northern.

Pa. CITY LOT During the year 1906 we sold more lots in this purpose, one-by Henry Rines of Mora, and the other by O. N. Thun- dale of Harmony. The Rines bill re- pealed the mineral and prospecting lease sections of the code, while the Thundale bill came in the form of a new bill. The commitfee on mines and minerals reported favorably on the Rines bill, and R. H. Jefferson of Bingham Lake, chairmam of the com- mittee, and Mr. Thundale explained the purpose of the bill to be to pre- vent the issuance of further mineral leases until the legislature can decide upon a new law fixing the rate of royalties. The present royalty is 25 cents per ton, and there are bills in the legislature to raise this consider- ably. A peddler’s license bill was intro- duced in the house by Ronald Rob- ertson of Argyle. It will include so- licitors of every sort, book agents, tree agents, lightning rod agents, patent medicine venders as well as the ordinary peddler. The bill applies only to the country districts and the regulation of peddlers and agents in villages and cities is left to the coun- clls of the various places. A definite license fee is not fixed in the bill. Federal law relating to polygamy 1s sought by C. W. Clotfelter of Water- ville. He Introduced in the house a resolution making application to con- gress for a constitutional amendment ‘whereby polygamy shall be prohibited and congress given power to enforce such a prohibition by appropriate leg- islation. If two-thirds of the states make supplication congress will be ohliged to call the convention. Insurance Measures Numerous. That the senate committee on insur- ance will have its hands full this ses- sion is evident from the way bills re; lating to insurance are being intro- duced. Several bills relating to insur- ance matters were introduced early in the session, but on Thursday there were five and Friday nine of them. ‘Most of the bills are along the lines laid-down by the committee of insur- ance commissioners for uniform insur- ance legislation, many of them being those recommended Dy that body. Senator T..E. Cashman of Owatonna is the author of two of fhe latest bills introduced. Both relate to domestic life insurance companies. One pro- vides that they shall not pay any sal- ary or compensation to any officer, di- rector or trustee nor to any firm or corporation in any one year amounting to over $5,000 unless authorized to do 80 by the board of directors. Senator Cashman’s other bill pro- vides that no domestic company shal’ make any disbursements of $100 or more unless it is evidenced by a voucher signed by or on behalf of the person or corporation receiving the consideration for the payment. Senator F. L. Glotzbach introduced two insurance measures, Senators Col- ler.and Farrington two each and Sena- tor Works one. The senate election committee de- clded by a strict party vote that Sena- tor J. M. Hackney of St. Paul is en- titled to hold the seat of senator from the Thirty-seventh district. Plerce Butler, the Democratic candidate, in- stituted a contest for the seat. After spending two days in hearing the evidence and arguments the commit- tee by a vote of seven to two decided in favor of Senator Hackney. A resolution was introduced in the senate by Senator Sundberg providing for the appointment of a joint com- HOULD HELP YOURG SHONTS DENIES REPORT. Friction With Administration Not the Cause of Resignation. St. Louis, Jan. 2 —Theodore P. Shonts, retiring head of the isthmian canal commission, has arrived here en route from Kansas City to Chicago. In an interview at the Union station Mr. Shonts sald that' he thinks the gov- ernment may yet build the Panama canal if-the present bids are not con- sidered- satisfactory. He said that he was personally in favor of the work being done by private contract. “Mr. Stevens, cHief engineer of the commission, is also in favor of the private contract plan, providing ac- ceptable bids can be secured,” con- tinued Mr. Shonts. '“Mr. Stevens is the logical man to assume the head of the construction. He has studied the situation closely and the organization has been built for him to continue the work, the same as if he were person- ally in charge.” Mr. Shonts said there was mno fric- tion between the administration and himself and that friction was not the cause of his resignation. He would not discuss his plans for the future ex- cept to say that he would remain at the head of the Clover Leaf road. He would not discuss his connection with the New York rapid traction system. ACTORS HISSED OFF STAGE. New York Irishmen ‘Resent Alleged Ridicule of Race. New York, Jan. 2 -The Victoria theater was the scene of a remarkable demonstration during the evening. In the middle of the act given by: the Russell brothers, in which they have appeared for years, 200 men suddenly burst into a storm of hisses, catcalls and jeers. The two men, who have assumed the roles. of Irish servant girls so long, struggled to make them- selves heard, but as the uproar in- creased they were finally forced to give up and the curtain was rung down on the act. When this was done a man arose in the orchestra and ex- plained the incident. He said that certain societies, whose members re- sent alleged ridicule heaped upon the Irish race by certain players, had joined in a crusade to stop these acts RAILROADS FIGHT NEW RATES, Minnesota Companies Secure Injunc- tion in Federal Court. St. Paul, Jan. £ .—The ten railroads operating in Minnesota have secured from Jugge Lochren in the United States circuit court a temporary in- Jjuction restraining the Minnesota rail- road and warehouse commission. from enforcing the schedule of commodity rates, which the commission ordered some time ago to become effective Jan. 25. The order is made in connection with an order to Ira B. Mills, Charles F. Staples and William E. Young, as members of the railroad and ware- house commission, to show cause on Feb. 13 why a temporary injunction should not issue pending the final de- termination of the suits filed to en- Jjoin the enforcement of the new rates. The ten railroads filed their com- plaints and the order to show cause was served . on the members- of the railrqad and warehouse commission. The complaining roads allege that these proposed . commodity rates practically amount to confiscation and are much lower than the rates pre- vailing in Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas, notwithstand- ing the fact that the actual cost to the railrcads for such service is high- er in Minnesota than in any of these states. It is alleged that the cost of fuel in Minnesota is higher than in these states and that climatic condi- tions here in the winter are such as to make railroad ' operation difficult and expensive. MEMBERS MUST PAY DUES. Court Dissolves Injunction ~Against Labor Organization. Chicago, Jan. 2 —Judge Brentano has ordered the reinstatement upon payment of their dues of 200 mem- bers of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Firemen and dissolved an injunc- tion against John J. Hannahan, grand master, and W. S. Carter, grand sec- retary and treasurer, of the brother- hood from expelling members who have not paid all of their assessments. The bill for the injunction was brought by the members of Green Mountain and Paul Revere lodges of the order. They protested against the payment of increased dues and sought to prevent the officers from expeiling them. Judge Brentano held that inasmuch as 60,000 other members of the order had paid their dues the members of these two lodges. should pay -their -share of the increased assessment. Government Must Interfere. Havana, Jan. 2 —Rural guards have been sent to Santiago de las Vegas, where General Arencibia is disputing the authority of the local officers and has threatened an upris- ing. Trouble is said to be inevitable unless the government takes prompt action. | 8IX JURORS SECURED. Many Talesmen Have Formed Opin- ions in Thaw Case. New York, Jan. 2° —One more Juror, making six in all, was added to the panel which is to try Harry K. Thaw on the charge of murder in the first degree. He was selected near the ‘close of the morning session and was the - thirteenth talesman exam- ined during the day. His name is Harold R. Faire. He is the first un- sarried man to be selected and is tbout twenty-eight years of age. Most of. the talesmen excused from service during the day had formed such decided opinions as to disqualify them. There was but one peremptory chal- lenge and this was by Mr. Jerome in excusing a talesman named Charles S. Nesbit. The similarity in names to Harry K. Thaw’s wife caused the examination of the talesman to be fol- lowed with much fnterest. He was apparently about to be accepted when Mr. Jerome challenged in behalf of ihe people. AUTOMATIC DIVORCE BILL. French Chamber of Deputies Ap- proves Measure. Paris, Jan. 2 —Against vehement protests of the Right the chamber of deputies during the day adopted the bill providing for the automatic grant- ing of decrees of divorce if either party persists in a suit for three years. M. Lasies, Anti-Semite, de- clared that the measure meant the disintegration of society, as it would make the family .tle practically dis- solvable at will. FOREIGN COMPANIES CRITICISED Insurance Losses at 8an Francisco Discussed in the House. Washington, Jan. 2 —Representa- tive Kahn of California during the day addressed the house on the man- ner in which fire insurance companies had settled their losses growing out of the fire and earthquake in San Francisco. He said that most of the Ameriean companies had paid their losses in full. He paid a compliment to the Eng- lish companies and most of the Amer- ican companies, but said that the for- eign companies, other than English, had endeavored to repudiate their ob- ligations. In the cases of the Ger- man and Austrian companies, how- ever, .through the action of the Ger- man courts and the good offices of the state department, he said, the insured probably will receive settle- ment of 50 cents on the dollar or over. Diaz Opens Mexican Rallroad. Coatzacoalcos, Mex., Jan. 2 —The presidential and other trains carrying guests participating in -the inaugural ceremonies in connection with the new transcontinental railroad com- pleted the trip across ‘the isthmus during the night, entering Coatzacoal- cos amid the booming of guns and a display of fireworks.

Philadelphia, Jan. 26.—A ragged in- dividual with many whiskers and with pockets bulging suspiclously. rang the doorbell of Mayor Weaver’s home at Overbrook, walked past the servant and stood in front of the mayor in his Ubrary. “I want you to finance a road from here to heaven,” sald the intruder. “Sure,” said the mayor, “sure;- sit down.” As the ‘bearded one sat down the mayor said-that-he did so gingerly as though to avold jolting the bulging pockets. “Bombs, sure,” thought his honor. *“I must humor him:*" He did. He humored him for one hour and a half while he frantically thought up schemes to get aid. Finally he got the police station and in a minute came nine mounted policemen, two patrol wagons and twelve patrol- men. They fell on the stranger, tak- Ing care not to jolt his pockets, rughed him to the police station and searched him. Bulging pockets disgorged only bits of Dbread, cheese, combs and pleces of coal.

The proposed amendment was con- tained in a resolution suggesting the insertion of the following new “ob- ject” into the constitution: “This annual conference hereby de- clares that its ultimate object shall be the obtaining for the workers the:full results of their labors by the over- throw of the present competitive sys- tem of capitalism and the institution of public ownership and control of ‘all means of life.” The opponents of the proposed amendment declared that it would create irreparable dissension in the party, as the trades unionists were opposed to pledging themselves to so- clalism.
