Glasgow, Sept. ,—Andrew Carne- gle appeared as a eulogist of the mu- nicipal government of New York com- pared with the government of the Brit. ish cities In a speech delivered at luncheon after the laying of the cor- nerstone of the Mitchell library., He sald: “New York is held up before the world by her own yellow press as sunk in iniquity, with everything going to the bad and with nothing creditable whatever. To one who gets away from New York for half the year and is able to look on her from a distance there are three or four things that comfort him greatly. He compares New York with London and finds that upon these matters New York is in advance.” Referring to municipal ownership Mr. Carnegie said cities should pre- serve the titles in all cases and only lease franchises for periods as short as practicable. This had been done in New York and was becoming the rule with all American cities. Minister on the Stand. Chicago, Sept.19.—Rev. C. C. Camp- bell of St. Paul was called by the de- fense in the Campbell murder trial and it was sought by him to prove certain letters offered in evidence which were said to have inflamed the mind of the defendant before the kill- ing of Dr. Harris. Judge Windes ruled out the testimony of Mr. Campbell. Minneapolis Turns Down Charter. Minneapolis, Sept. 19.—The home rule charter has lost in this city, judg- ing from incomplete election returns, by about 2,000 votes. Only 126 of the 144 districts have been heard from so far. The vote in these districts stands 8,123 against and 7,107 for the charter. It takes a four-sevenths vote to carry the election. SECOND WOMAN LOCATED, Remarkable Case of Mistaken Identlty Cleared Up. Chicago, Sept. i'.—The “real Mrs. Klimovicz” has been found. The dis- covery sets at rest all question as to the identity of Miss Tillie Tolan, the Chicago girl who was claimed a few days ago in Judge Clelland’s court by John Klimoviez as his wife and identi- fled by Mrs. Mary Zematis of Grand Rapids, Mich., as her daughter. Klimovicz had been arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, the war- rant being secured by Miss Tolan, Whe claimed that Klimovicz had been annoying her by his attentions. Mrs. Klimovicz offered to furnish proof of her identity, but her resem- blance tc her published pictures and her remarkable likeness to Miss Tolan were conclusive evidence. The like- ness between the two women, which is so great that two mothers ap- Deared in court and each identified the || Tolan girl as her own daughter, is more marked in the women than in their pictures, During the time that the case of mistaken identity had been in court Mrs. Klimovicz had been living under an assumed name three and one-half miles east of Elgin. The denouement was due primarily to plque over a slighting remark made in the court- room by Miss Tolan. “I wish they would just find me one of her old shoes to try on,” the girl who was mistaken for Mrs. Klimovicz sald. “That would settle my identity. I'll wager I can put both of my feet in one of her shoes.” “I would like to see her,” Mrs, Kli- movicz, who can wear about a No. 4 last, exclaimed when she heard of the remark, “If she can put both of her feet into one of my shoes she must be a Chl- nese woman or a cripple.” Thereupon she determined to put an end to the queer tangle of identl- tles which had hitherto proved a puz- zle too difficult for any person con- nected with the case to solve and con- sequently came to Chicago with the Intention of furnishing to the court full proof of her identity. ~ Every Railroad Indicted.

Chicago, Sept. *s—Attorney Gen- eral Bonaparte held a three-hour con- ference with District Attorney Sims in which the attitude of the govern- ment toward the Chicago and Alton road in the Standard Oil case was considered. The attorney general bad previously declared that the road should be granted immunity because of the promises said to have been made to it by District Attorney Mor- rison before the commencement of the trial of the Standard Oil company. At the conclusion of the conference neither the attorney general mor the district attorney would say whether the road would be prosecuted or al- lowed to go free. It is probable that no action will be taken until a confer- ence is had with Judge Landis. Other matters discussed in the con- ference were plans for the prosecu- tion of the harvester combine, the coming trial of John R. Walsh, for- mer president of the Chicago National bank, and important trust and railway rebate prosecutions that are to take place in Chicago this fall and during the coming winter. At the conclusion of the conference Attorney General Bonaparte said: “We discussed the pending investi- gation by a special grand jury of the charges against the Chicago and Al- ton railroad, but I do not feel at lib- erty to glve any information on the subject prior to such action as will be taken when the grand jury recon- venes.” The attorney general said later that he desired to deny all rumors of fric- tion or discord in connection with the proposed immunity to the railroad. There was no foundation whatever he said for such reports. EXISTING RATES TO STAND Railroad Attorney. Makes Surprising Request 'n Court. St. Paul, Sept. : .—A big surprise was sprung just before the noon hour in Judge Lochren’s court, where the rate injunction hearing has been go- ing on for twelve days, when Judge Thomas Wilson, general counsel for the Omaha road, suggested to the court that pending the final deter- mination of the suits on their merits the court should not interfere with existing conditions; that {s, there should be no order by the court, even should a temporary injunction issue, which will take out the 2-cent pas- senger rate and the merchandise rates pending the final determination of the litigation. Judge Wilson’s suggestion came as a bombshell into the camp of the rail- road attorneys, for the suits have been Instituted with a view of having the 2-cent fare law and the raflroad commissioners’ order affecting mer- chandise rates set aside by temporary injunction, the reasonableness of these rates, as well as the commodity rates, to be determined some time in the future, perhaps in two or three years, when the cases are heard on thelr merits. SAY IT IS NO MAN'S LAND dJaps Claim the Right to Occupy Pra- tas Isla d. Victoria, B. C., Sept. **—According to advices from Toklo Japan claims the right to occupy -Pratas island, which was recently taken possession of on behalf of Japan, on the ground that, as it lles between the twentleth and twenty-first parallels, it is no man’s land. A Japanese paper, just recelved; says: “When Japan took possession. of Formosa she extended her-dominion to the twenty-first parallel of latitude and when America took possession of the Philippines she extended her do- minion to the twentieth parallel, thus the space between the twentleth and the twenty-first parallels becomes a no man’s land and the island of Pra- tas is in north latitude 20.45.” DETECTIVE BEHIND BARS. Singular Arrest In Connection With Minneapolis Burglary. Minneapolls, Sept. .—John Gilles- ple, an inspector in the health depart. ment, surprised a gang of burglars While they were at work in his store. Detective Frank Carle, who was stand- ing in the doorway, was arrested. Gillespie, who lives'in & house ad- Jolning the store, was awakened by the burglars, who overturned a chair. He arose and, hastily donning his clothes, ran to the front door, where he found Carle and overpowered him. ‘While he was busy with' Carle two men ran from the rear door of the store and escaped. Gillesple held his prisoner until members of his family could summon the police and investigation -showed that the thieves obtalned a small amount of money and a counterfeit bill which was cashed in the store some time ago. ? Carle denfes any connection with the burglars, but could not explain why he was there and was locked up || on a charge of l_m‘r(hry_ Use Tourist Sleeping Car on your trip west this fall. fort—clean—convenient—economical.
