DANIELS STOGK GOMPANY IS FINE ORGANIZATION Gave Good Show at Crookston.---City Opera House Thursday, Friday and Saturday Nights. Crookston Times: “Cosy Cor- ners,” the show put on last night by the Frank Daniels Stock com- pany, was a big surprise to the audience, or at least toa large number of them. In spite of the bad night a good sized audiernce turned out and if the company continues to put on as good a performance each night as they gave last evening they will play to crowded houses during ali their stay in this city. There was nosa dull moment in the play. It was well staged and re- markably well acted, consicering the prices of admission charged. There are very few shows that come to this city which show more talent than was displayed last night. Mr. Daniels and his wife take the leading parts and they are both stars. They were well supported, each actor know- ing his part and handling itad- mirably. - One pleasing feature was the absolute lack of any- thing bordering on the smutty order. The specialties between the acts were amusing in a cle n, legitimate manner, but every- thing coarse or bordering on the questionable was noticeable by its absence. Ladies opening night under asual conditions. Gone to Minneapolis. J. M. Richards and W.

IN:FAVOR OF OIL TRUST. Hearing on Charges of Discrimination by Railroads.” ‘Washington, May 22.—A series of hearings was begun before the inter- state commerce commission during the day involving the freight rates on petroleum and its products, particu- larly in the territory of the Ommiral Freight association. The allegation is made by the complainants that they ere discriminated against in rates given them by the carriers in favor of the Standard Oil company. It is turther charged that whenever the railroads ccme into competition with water carriers they give reduced rates, but if their competitor is a pipe line owned and controlled by the Standard Oil company the rates are Increased to a point where they be- come unjust and discriminatory. Several cases were assigned for hearing, all of them involving prac- tleally the same points. The com- plainant in each case was the Na- tivnal Petroleum association of Cleve- land, O. ,Two other imrportant cases brought by the association against various railroads were adjusted satis- factorily to .all parties, the commis- sien announcivg the settlement of the cases Monday. In those cases the carriers reduced their freight rates in accordance with the petitions of the complainant. The cases which came up during the day were against the Chicago, Milwaukee aad Ct. Paul Railway com- pany and others, al 2 unveason- able rates on petrol from Chicasgo, Peoria and Milwauikce to St. Paul, “The reason you don't sympathize with me is that you have never been disappointed In love yourself.” “T haven’t, eh? That's all you know. Why, I once advertised for a wife with a million dollars, and I never got a sin- gle reply.”—Philadelphia Press. \ — the labor question. The condemna- tlon of the president was made by F. C. Nunemacher of Louisville. The as- sociation voted to print Mr. Nune- macher’s address and spread it broad- cast. Mr. Nunemacher’s topic was “The Employer in Politics.” He said in part: “Even President Roosevelt has been .influenced by the labor unions in some appointments and rulings. He has never yet in unequivocal terms made the stand for the sincere square deal on the labor questions that we, as American citizens, are justly entitled to expect from one occupying the highest place in our nation who is usually most courageous and - fear- less.” Mr. Nunemacher also attacked Bry- an for having declared that those who opposed the eight-hour day did so through ignorance of the conditions. Mr. Bryan, said Nunemacher, showed “woeful lack of knowledge as to the true facts. Such an utterance is most unfortunate and criminally unfair if he knows the real facts as he should.” ot aliwaye ossible are ln continual obviated i1~ Loakablo Foun- .

UNION OF BAPTIST HOSTS. Whites and Negroes at One Conven- tion for First Time. Norfolk, Va., May 23.—The Baptist convention of North America, with the Baptist hosts North and South, Fast and West, united in national as- sembly after their separation follow- ing disagreements on the negro and other antebellum questions more than half a century ago, convened at the Jamestown exposition in first annual session with between 4,000 and 5,000 delegates in attendance, the national HEARING ON OIL RATES. All-Rail Charges Kept at Excessive Figures to Aid Standard. ‘Washington, May 23.—Freight rates on petroleum and its products in the Central Western territory constituted the subject of further hearings be- fore the interstate commerce commis- sion. The rates involved were those from Ohio and Pennsylvania points to St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Sioux City and Sioux Falls through Chicago. The complaint does not hinge upon preferential rates given by the rail- roads to the Standard Oil company, for it is admitted that the rates to all shippers are uniform; but the com- plaint is-that the tariffs now in force are excessive and unreasonable. Frank E. Fretter, secretary of the National Refining company of Cleve- land, was the principal witness for the complainants, the National Petroleum association. He explained that the Standard Oil company shipped oil by barges from Whiting, Ind., to the Min- neapolis and Duluth territory, taking advantage of the lower water rate to undermine competition in that terri- tory. The allrail rate to that terri- tory, he said, was kept by the rail- roads at an excessive figure in order to enable the Standard Oil company to destroy competition. He main- tained that it was in the interest of the Standard to have the high rail rate because it did the great bulk of its shipping by water. Mr. Fretter also complained of the rate from Ohio points to Omaha, which, he said, was the sum of the local rates through Chicago, or 40% cents per hundred pounds. KEEP OUT OF POLITICS. Recommendation to Presbyterian Com- mittee on Temperance. Columbus, O., May 23.—The stand- Ing committee on temperance, which was authorized by the general assem- bly to define the powers of the per- manent committee on temperance, has reported a recommendation that the temperance committee confine itself to educating the people to temperance and to keep out of politics; that the general assembly appoint five mem- bers to define the powers of the per- manent committee and report at the next meeting of the board and that the officers of the permanent committee be re-elected._ BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. Hearing on Te‘mperance Question by Presbyterian Committee. Columbus, O., May 22.—The com- mittee on bills and overtures and the standing committee on temperance heard behind closed doors the prog and cons in the temperance contro versy. The opposition to the Churck Temperance federation thinks it sees a keen political trick in the manner of handling the question. William Fulton of the committee on churck policy, to which committee an over- ture endorsing the Anti-Saloon league was sent by the standing committee Monday, has a brother who is field secretary of the permanent temper- ance committee which recommends 2 church federation. 1it'is also stated by those who “smell a rat” that Dr. Maitland Alexander of Pittsburg, of the standing committee, is the pastor of the Pittsburg church of which W C. Lilley, chairman and treasurer of the permanent temperance committee is an elder. They claim that an “end less chain” has been linked against the Anti-Saloon league by the playing of some shrewd policies. POLICE FORCE SHAKEN UP Chicago’s Mayor Intends to Renovate the Tenderloin. Chicago, May 22.—Mayor Busse, in an attempt to “renovate” the “Tender- loin” district of Chicago, has made the most sweeping change ever made in the local police department. He transtayred the entire police force in :the district from captain down, em- bracing 249 men, to other parts of the citr and appointed other men. It had been charged that the police in the district had countenanced viola- tions of the law in the district. The move was hailed by acclaim body being a union of the Northern Baptist convention, which has just adjourned at Washington, and the Southern Baptist convention, which has just adjourned at Richmond, Va. The convention includes Indian dele- gates with the right of the floor, like- wise negro delegates, this being the first instance of the assembling to- gether of the white and negro Bap- tists in the South.
