The first term of district court for the new county of Koochiching opened at International Falls yester- day forenoon at 10 o’clock, Judge Spooner presiding. The grand jury charged, and that body began the consideration of cases which had been set for consideration at this term. The calendar for the term was called and cases set. There are several criminal cases for the consideration of the grand jury, among which is that of James Godatte (colored) who is held on charge of murder in the first degree, having killed Charles Williams (colored) at Big Falls on August 21st. Godotte has been confined in the Beltrami county jail in this city since he was arrested on August 22nd, and he will be taken to Inter- national Falls tomorrow by P. A. was called and| Walsh, sheriff of Koochiching county. The grand jury will undoubtedly return an indictment against Godatte, and it is more than likely, that after he has been arraigned and made his plea, that his case will not be commenced until the Janu- ary term of court. Among the other criminal cases, which will be considered by the grand jury, are the following: Robert Plant, Ole Halverson and John Fay, all charged with larceny; John Burke, assault; and John Lamonte, burglary. These men have all been held in the Beltrami county jail to await the action of the grand jury, and they will be taken to Big Falls this even-, ing by Sheriff Walsh and the follow-, ing deputies: H. C. Grove, E. Holler, E. Egleson and John Hamel. The term of court will not bea very extended one and it is more than likely that many of the cases that are on the calendar will be continued to the term of court that will be held in January.

Itis not generally known that under the provisions of the new law governing the building of bridges, it is expressly provided that where the township raises one-half of the money necessary to construct a bridge, the county must pay the other half of the cost. For instance, if the town board of any township in the county desires to erect a bridge and one-half of the required money is raised for this puprose, the county must put up the other half of the cost. The county has no escape under the new law. Through Car Service from all points on Minnesota & Inter- national Railway daily, except Sunday, to St. Patrl and Minneapolis.

P. R, St. Paul, Minn, International Will Play Here Saturday. The Crookston Times has the fol- lowing article concerning the Crooks- ton High School Football team, which will play a game here Satur- day against the local high school team: “Next Saturday afternoon the Crookston high school team will play their first game away from home. They will go to Bemidji, where they will meet the Bemidji wariors of the grid-iron on their own field. Bemidji was defeated last Saturday at Bemidji, by a score of 20 to 5, but they are a strong team and will make Crookston look to its laurels. “Crookston was greatly weakened in its line last Saturday by the absence of Raymond Smith, the giant tackle. Smith is one of the mainstays of the Crookston line and he was out of the game Saturday and will be out today in the game with the ex-stars. He is assisting with the threshing on his father’s farm, but will be back and in the game on Saturday. Lyn Robertson is also out for a few days because of a sprain. He will not play this afternoon but will be in the game on Saturday.” Irish Pawnbrokers, Tonight. ““The Irish Pawnbrokers” is Mur- phy, Murphy and Murphy’s bread winner again this season. In creat- ing their vehicle for them they com- missioned Mr. Edgar Selden, who is the author of many successful farce comedies, to fit them with a vehicle in line with their former successes, S - WM SISTERS,» and to say that Mr. Selden has achieved their purpose is drawing it mildly. He has undoubtedly given them the best play, as to comedy situations, they have ever had; the piece is intensely funny and has a fairly good plot, upon which hinges most o the comedy situations. Notice to Fair Exhibitors. As it has taken more time than was at first anticipated to adjust the entries that were made at the county fair, list them, and also copy the reports of the judges together with their awards, it has been necessary to postpone the date of paying the premiums awarded until Saturday, Oct. 19th, when the matter will be taken up and adjusted.

Lelpsic, Germany, Oct. 16.—The su- preme court has rejected the appeal of counsel for Karl Hau, formerly of ‘Washington, D. C., for a revision ot the sentence condemning him to death for the murder of his mother-in-law, Frau Molitor.

DEFECTIVE PAGE EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT ENTIRE TRAIN IS WRECKED Sixteen Persons Meect Death in Dis- aster and Many Others Sustain In. Jury—Darkness and Pouring Rain Retard the Work of Rescue. Shrewsbury, Eng., Oct. 16.—A train made up of passenger coaches bound from Scotland and the north of Eng- land to Bristol left the ralls as it was entering the station here. Six- teen persons, including ten passen- gers, were killed and many were in- Jured. The London and Northwestern rafl- road, on Which the train was running, curves sharply as it nears Shrewsbury and there is a standing order that the engineers must not exceed a speed of ten miles an hour at that point. Dis- regard of the order is believed to have been the cause of the accident. The engine and all cars with the exception of the last one left the ralls and when the officials from the railroad station reached the spot the cars were a tan- gled mass of wreckage, beneath which were the bodies of the dead and the injured. Fortunately the wreckage did not catch fire and the doctors and salvage crews who soon reached the scene did not have this added danger to fight In the darkness and pouring raln, which, however, retarded the work of rescue and several hours elapsed before the last body was taken out. The killed include the engineer and fireman and the guards and postal clerks Who were in the mail car im- mediately behind the tender of the englne. AUSTRIAN RULER WORSE. Doctors’ Optimlstic Expectations Not Realized. Vienna, Oct. 16.—The doctors’ op- timistic expectations regarding the Improvement in the health of Emperor Francis Joseph have not yet been fully realized. The sleep of the patient during the night was repeatedly dis- turbed by a strong, exhausting cough, making necessary the application of a wet pack. The emperor rose a little later than usual and was somewhat tired. Never- theless, he immediately received the court officials and a Hungarian offi- cial, the interview lasting nearly an hour. Later, however, the patient’s condi- tion became worse. The fever, which had ceased, recurred moderately at about 10 o'clock. His heart action and general condition are satisfac- tory, the obstinacy of the fever alone causing uneasiness, the frequent coughing being accompanied by an abundant expectoration. The attending physicians again in- formed the emperor that a trip to some Southern place was advisable, but he decidedly refused to leave Schoenbrunn castle, saying it would be too tedious for him anywhere “else and that he must work, otherwise he would fall sick, thus showing clearly that he does not consider himself to be 11, A dispatch from Prague says that a special train is held in readiness there to bring the Archduchess Eliza- beth, grandchild of his majesty, and other members of the family to Vienna in case of necessity o ASKS FOR A PROTEGTORATE Sultan of Morncco Makes Request to French Minister. Tangier, Morocco, Oct. 16.—Judging from the latest semi-official declara- tlons here Sultan Abdel Aziz, during his conference with the French min- ister, M. Regnault, at Rabat, invited France to consider the question of establishing a protectorate over Mo- rocco, including the immediate occu- pying of the entire coast. The most Interesting feature of the general sit- uation, with the exception of the re- ported request of the sultan that the ports be occupied by French troops, i3 the practical certainty that an at- tempt i3 now imminent to impose for- elgn military police upon the various seaports of Morocco, Which, it is be- lieved, will meet with the fierce re- sistance of the natives. The Franco-Spanish authorities have announced thelr intention of be- ginning the new international police service early in November and with the chief of police, Colonel Muller, formerly an officer in the Swiss army, they are now organizing the force and planning its installation. Franchises Declared lllegal. Cleveland, Oct. 16.—Judge Law- rence of the common pleas court has rendered a decision holding illegal all franchises granted by the council for so-called 3-cent fare lines on the Rast Side because they were granted after the date upon which Mayor Johnson 'was alleged to have become financially interested in the roads. Speed of Trains Limited. Lincoln, Neb.,, Oct. 16.—The state rallway commission has issued an or- der limiting the Missouri Pacific pas- senger trains to a speed of twenty-five miles an hour, the fast freight trains to twenty miles an hour and the heavy freight trains to fifteen miles an hour owing to the dangerous condition of the roadbed. TELLS STORY OF WRECK. Lone Survivor of Lake Ve s Consclousness, Sault Ste. Marle, Mich, Oct. 15— Recovering consclousness, after hours of constant nursing, Second Mate Pitt of the steamer -Cyprus, which foun- dered off Deer Park lifesaving sta- tlon in Lake Superior, has given a graphic account of the last moments of the crew on board the {ll fated vessel, The mate sald that the Cyprus was making faifly good weather in the I Recov- BLOrM whnen sugaenly tne CArgo Bnirt- ed, glving the craft a heavy list. Wa- ter began pouring in the hatches and & panic ensued, many of the crew putting on life preservers, Captain Huyck, however, felt con- fident he could reach shelter behind ‘Whitefish point and the boats were not lowered. Both ergine and pumps were working and the crew felt sure the vessel would not sink without warning. But suddenly the freighter rolled over on her side and almost instantly plunged to the bottom. When the vessel rolled over the first and sec- ond mates, & watchman and a wheel- man were close to a liferaft, which they cut loose and cast off just in time to escape the whirlpool caused by the Cyprus as she plunged beneath the surface of the water. The boat sank about 7 o'clock in the evening and until 2 o’clock in the morning the four men clung to their frail support while the waves drove them toward shore. Five times in the angry surf of the rocky shore the raft upset, the men each time having to fight the heavy undertow for their lives, Each fight weakened the benumbed and disheart- ened sallors and after the fifth battle with the surf only one of the quartette remained upon the raft. GENERAL STRIKE PROBABLE English Railroads and Thelr Employes Unable to Agree. London, Oct. 1..—Richard Bell, M. P., general secretary of the Amalga- mated Society of Railway Servants, announces that the rallway companies have sent an unfavorable reply to the society’s demand for the recognition of thelr unions. The ballots so far received from the men, in the vote being taken through- out the United Kingdom on the ad- visability of declaring a general strike in order to secure a recognition of their organizations and a new scale of wages and hourg, are largely in favor of a general strike. The voting will be concluded on Oct. 26. The reply of the railroad companies, which was issued by the council of the Railway Companies’ assoclation, says the comneil has no power to ap- point representatives to meet the dele- gates of the unions and discuss ques- tlons which affect the relations be- tween individual companies and their employes. The council, however, add- ed that unanimousiy of the opinion that no advantage cculd result from any meet- ing until Oct 26, when the result of the balloting on the question of a general strike would be known. The delegates Who attended the re- cent congress of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants voted in favor of a strike. YOUNG WOMAN MURDERED Minneapolis Man Suspected of Killing His Wife. Minneapolis, Oct. 1 .—The body of Mrs. George Patous, seventeen years of age, was found in a room on the second floor of 1215 Third street north. The young wife was probably stran- gled to death a week before the body was found and to make sure of the crime her murderer had tied a silk muffler tightly around her throat. The husband, a Polish laborer, has not been seen since Oct. 6, the day on which the crime is supposed to have been committed, and the police are now searching for him. The body of the murdered woman was found by W. A. Shaughnessy, who lives on the ground floor of the | honge in which the crime was commit- ted and who rented the rooms to the Patous couple. For a week there had been no sign of life upstairs and finally becoming suspicious that all was not right Shaughnessy entered his tenants’ rooms. He found the body of the strangled girl wife lying on a bed. Her body was lying diagonally across spots of blovd on the bed. A quilt had been thrown over the body, leay- ing only the face exposed. A theory of the police is that the spots of blood may have been caused by the wife wounding her assailant in the fight for life.

Chicago, Oct. 1 .—That railroad ex- ecutives generally approve of the plan for government control and regulation of transportation lines of the natfon, as advocated by Robert Mather, pres- ident of the Rock Island company, in of Commerce, was strongly indicated when various officials went on record to that effect. Mr. Mather’s address was called ad- mirable in every way and none of the rallroad officials interviewed disagreed with him as to the desirability of cen- tralized authority in preference to what they called the varied and incon- slstent system of laws passed by the state legislatures. It was granted, too, that Mr. Mather had done well to talk openly of rebat- ing. After complimenting Mr. Mather on his speech E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, said he thought the principal points urged by the Rock Island official well taken. Prefer a Single Master. ‘What the railroads are opposed to,” he said, “is this varied assortment of rules, regulations and laws under which at present they must operate. For Instance, the Santa Fe runs through fourteen states and territories and what is legal in one state may be unlawful in another and vice versa. Tn other words, we have too many masters. Wouldn't it be much better for us if we had a single, central source of regulation than so many? I Mr. Mather and most railroad officials. “The outcry against the railroads has done them much damage” con- tinued Mr. Ripley. “This antagonism is by no means a thing of the past. as it exists today, and is deepseated. The censure and attacks of the press and the unjust strictures from other sources have kept it alive. The result is that the railroads have been neariy ruined. They are now worrying along as best they can. They cannot do any- thing but serve the public even if the public is attacking them.” Mr. Ripley denied that the roads ‘would back any programme before the next congress. MANY NOTABLES TO ATTEND Civic Federation Conference on Com- binations and Trusts. New York, Oct. 1.—The conference on trusts and combinations which is to meet in Chicago from Oct. 22 to 25 under the direction of the National Civic Federation will probably be the largest gathering of well known peo- ple ever assembled in this country for the purpose of discussing trade com- binations, Among those who have signified their intention of being present are Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations; E. E. Clark of the inter- state commerce commission; F. B. Kellogg, special assistant attorney | general of the United States in charge of the government’s case against the Standard Oil company; Seth Low of New York and Congressman Rich- mond P. Hobson of Alabama. The government officials who have been probing big trade combinations and corporations are expected to have something of interest to say on the work they have already done. The American Bankers’ association, the American Bar association, the Na- tlonal Wholesale Druggists’ assocla- tlon, the National Grange and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Jolners of America will send dele- gates. Among the delegates who will rep resent states are Gustave C. Pabst of ‘Wisconsin and Bartlett Tripp of South Dakota. HIT BY STREET CAR. John Tracy and Wife Killed Just Out- side Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Oct. 1 .—John Tracy, a farmer living near Medina, and his wife, while driving, wers struck and killed by a Deephaven car just out of Minneapolis. Their adopted daughter, Mattia Tracy, aged seven, was in the buggy with them, but escaped with minor injuries. The buggy was being driven south and the car was approaching in the direction of Hopkins. Motorman Lar- sen sounded the whistle for the cross- ing and upon catching sight of the rig sounded the danger signal and threw on the brakes, but Tracy had driven onto the tracks, when, for some rea- son, the horse stood still. The car struck the rig, hurling the occupants to the ground. The passengers on the car agree with the motorman’s version of the accident, though Willlam Anderson of Hopkins tays that Tracy made every effort to hasten across the tracks, but could not escape the car, which was running at a high rate of speed. Causing Trouble for Engineers. Panama, Oct. 1 .—The American en- glneers are having trouble with the Cucharacha slide at the south end of the Culebra cut.
