The Shevlin Herald, printed and published at Shevlin, a neighboring town adjoining Bagley, has the following to say of the candidacy of A. Kaiser, the Bagley banker, for the republican nomination for state treasurer: “It is with great satisfaction that we read the fine comments and en- dorsements our friend, A. Kaiser of Bagley, is receiving from the press throughout the state for the office of state treasurer. We do not know that Mr. Kaiser is doing anything to promote his candidacy, buat he seems to have almost countless friends that are attending to that. “It is well hnown by all that Mr. Kaiser is president of our local bank and this community, well knowing his ability and integrity, take especial pride in adding our mite in praise and endorsement with the many throughout the state that feel likewise. “Luck in this case seemsto go hand in hand with merit. Mr. Deinhart, the present keeper of the state of Minnesota’s strong box, has declared his intention to contest for a seat as representative in the congressional hall, thus clearing the track for Mr. Kaiser to a great extent. "Northern Minnesota should now soon be entitled to some kind of representation in the state house, and as Hon. A. Kaiser has to our personal knowledge been spending his time, energy and money in the foremost ranks of the republican party for the last twenty-five years, hence as his ability and character are undisputable, what, therefore, would be more natural than to BITTER ATTAG ON BALLINGER La Follette Denounces Pro- posed Investigation. PREDICIS A WHITEWASH Wisconsin Senator Declares Delayed Demand for Probe Is a, “Cleverly Devised Scheme to Shield the Guilty and Defraud the Public”—Says Taft Opposed Inquiry Until Newspapers Began to Turn on the Light. Madison, Wis,, Jan, 3.—Senator R. M. La Follette poured out the vials of his wrath upon the head of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger in an article under the caption: “Is This Conspir acy?” The senator in vitriolie lan- guage characterizes the Ballinger in- vestigation programme as a plan “de- vised to shield the guilty and ald a glgantic conspiracy to defraud the public.” Ballinger's delayed request for an investigation of the charges made against him is unsparingly denounced by Senator La Follette as a probable scheme between Aldrich and Cannon. to exonerate Ballinger, just as the submarine boat scandal was white- washed a year ago. Senator La Fol- lette implicates even the president, who, he says, was opposed to investi- gating Ballinger until the leading pa- pers began to turn on the light. “It was too much,” says Senator La Follette in his magazine. “The shadow of the lion hunter was plain- ly visible from the front window of the interior department. “Hurried conferences were reported. Something had to be done and done at once. Public attention must, if possible, be diverted. The forestry officials, feared because too well in- formed and too devoted to public in- terest, must be attacked and discredit- ed since they could not be silenced.” FORESTS YIELD LARGE SUM Exports During 1908 Aggregated Nine- reciprocate and honor the Old War Horse—though not so old in years— with the nomination and election for the very responsible office of state treasurer for the North Star state.” Commendable words like the above, written by a neighbor who knows him well, indicates the high character and abilty of Mr. Kaiser and his fitness for the office which he seeks. PUT AWAY THE HAMMER, BROTHER. The Bemidji Pioneer wants all the newspaper boys to be good for once and see if it is possible to elect a Republican governor rext fall. Does the Pioneer attribute the past de- feats of the Republican party to the wickedness of some of the news- paper boys?— Duluth News-Tribune. Well, not exactly brother. But the News-Tribune, being a good staunch republican publication, should be well aware of the fact that not a few of the newspaper boys have been laboring under a spell while certain smooth individ- uals were in power, down at the state capital, and if they will but sit up and take notice they will find that allegiance to the g. o. p. is about the safest principle to follow. Then there has been some inten- tional “knocking” by fellows whose bablings should never have gotten into print. A little more real harmony, with giving and taking a little, here and there all ‘“down the line,” would prove |eneficial toward the desired result, don’t you think? RAIL MILEAGE IS GROWING Record for 1909 Shows an Increase Over 1908. Chicago, Jan. 3.—Rairoads of the United States during 1909 constructed 8,478 miles of new main track, which involved an expenditure of more than $150,000,000, according to records com- piled by the Railroad Age Gazétte from official reports of the railways. During the same period, 3,775 miles of main track were equipped with block signals. This record of new mileage shows an increase of nearly 300 miles over 1908, when 3,214 miles were built, and 18 one indication of the return of pros- perity to the roads. The 1908 record, however, was the lowest since 1904, when 3,832 miles were built. The best of recent years, according to the Ga- zette’s statistics, was in 1906, when 5,623 miles were built. In 1907 there were 5,212 and in 1905 4,338. The greater part of the new con- struction in 1909, as in previous years, was in the territory west of the Mis- sourl river, and a large part was on the new transcontinental lines of the Milwaukee’s Puget Sound extension and the Western Pacific. PR—— FOIL PLOT TO KILL ALFONSO Police Arrest Number of Well Known " Anarchists. San Lucar, Spain, Jan. 3—The po- lice are convinced that the arrest of three Germans, two Frenchmen and an Itallan frustrated a regicide plot of which King Alfonso was to have been the victim. King Alfonso passed through San Lucar en route for Granada and the suspects, who, it is said, are well known anarchists, were attracted here by his presence. ty Million Dollars, ‘Washington, Jan. 3.—Our forests contributed $90,000,000 to the exports of the United States during the fiscal year 1908—a twentyfold increase since 1851. The imports of forest products —chiefly india rubber and other gums from the tropics and lumber from Canada—have grown to even larger proportions. From a little over $1, 000,000 in 1851 they rose to $122,000,- 000 in 1907, falling slightly below $100,000,000 in 1908. These are some of the striking facts set forth in a comprehensive bulletin on foreign trade In forest products, just published by, the department of agriculture. This bulletin covers a period of nearly six- ty years. WOULD SHORTEN ITS LINE Chicago Great Western Cutoff to Kan- sas City. Des Moines, Jan. 3—Rumor has it that negotiations are in progress be- tween the St. Paul and Des Moines and the Great Western companies for an agreement by the terms of which the latter seeks to secure the privilege of operating each way daily over the St. Paul and Des Moines one passen- ger and one freight train from Mason City to Des Moines, where connection will be made with the Great Western main line for the south and at Mason City with the main line for St. Paul and Minneapolis. If the proposed: agreement is made it will shorten the distance between Kansas City and the Twin Cities fifty-four miles. BIG DEAL IN IRON MINES Number of Properties In Minnesota Affected. New York, Jan. 3.—~The Buffalo and Susquehanna Iron company and the South Buffalo Canal and Dock com- pany are to be acquired by the Rogers- Brown Iron company, incorporated with a capital of $5,000,000. The an- nouncement was made by the banking house of Fisk & Robinson. By this deal the new company will take over many iron mines in Michi gan and Minnesota and coal mines and coke ovens'in Pennsylvania. The Rogers-Brown Iron company also an- nounces that it will build new fur- naces and coke ovens along the line of the Buffalo and Susquehanna rail- road. EARLY ADJOURNMENT LIKELY La Follette Believes Congressional Session WIll Be Brief. Madison, Wis., Jan. 3.—Congress may adjourn in April, such is the opin- ion of Senator La Follette. “I do not think that the present ses- sion of congress will be as long as the usual long session,” said the senator. “In fact, it may not last beyond April. “There is a feeling among party leaders that an early adjournment is advisable on account of conditions within the party. Many leaders be- lieve that with an early adjournment of congress many congressional dis- tricts can be saved for the Republican party that might otherwise become fighting territory.” SCORES OF PERSONS INJURED Explosion of Gas Cause of Serlous Di er. Montreal, Jan. 3—Over a score of people were injured in ap explosion at the Place Viger station of the Cana- dian Pacific rallway. Many of the victims were frightfully mangled. The Quebec train was about to pull out. The station platform was crowd- ed with an immense throng seeing friends off, when there was a terrific explosion, which ripped up the plat- form from end to end and burjed more iR, ‘were 4d the - er way. One . -rom the wreckage w. had one of her legs torn ... r The explosion causeu 1se excite- ment and rumors of a bomb outrage were current, but a brief examination of the wreckage by the railroad of- ficlals convinced them that it was the gas plant on the Quebec train that had blown up. AUTOMOBILE OWNERS STRIKE Italians Object to Increase of Govern- ment License., Florence, Jan.. 3.—An. automobile strike against the government has gone into effect. Every owner of an automobile in Italy will refuse to take out a new license. . Thousands of chauffeurs will be! thrown out of work. The government, it it persists in its course, will deprive itself of $1,000,000 in revenue. The objections of automobile own- ‘ers arise from a new regylation which, besides increasing the tax, imposes a fine of 50 lire for a first offense against the speed regulations, to be increased in amount on a second offense. MINING REGORDS BROKEN PAST YEAR Capper Output of United States More Tnan Billion Pounds. e ‘Washington, Jan. 3.—All records of production in this country of copper, refined lead, spelter and tungsten were broken during the year just closed, according to a report of the geological survey. The output of blister and lake copper was 1,117,800, 000 pounds, an increase considerably greater than the total yearly increase since 1904. Figures collected by authoritative private mediums indicate that the pro- duction of marketable copper from all sources, domestic and foreign, for the first eleven months of 1909 exceeded 1,400,000,000 pounds and that the con- sumption of copper in the United States was considerably greater than the previous record consumption of 682,000,000 pounds. Production of refined lead, desilver- ized and eoft, from domestic and for- eign ores, approximated 444,363 short tons, worth at the average New York price, $38,215,000, not including 12,860 tons of antimonial lead. Unexampled expansion characterized the zinc industry. Not only was the largest output of spelter ever made in the United- States almost completely absorbed by, the market, but spelter imports broke records. LEADING NEW YORKERS PREDICT PROSPERITY Have Optimistic Views of the Outiook for 1910, New York, Jan. 3.—Prominent men in New York city are optimistic re- garding the outlook for the year 1910. Greater prosperity is their unanimous prediction. Here is what some of them say: ‘William Loeb, Jr., collector of the port—I greet 1910 with hope and sat- isfaction. It will be prosperous, if the present increase in the volume of business continues’ and the indica- tlons are that it will. Senator Chauncey M. Depew—The New Year 1s marked by less unrest, dissatisfaction, mental dyspepsia and crankiness than any other in my rec- ollection. It is full,of hope for peace, prosperity and plenty. W. C. Brown, rresident of the New York Central—In general prosperity 1910 will exceed the record of any previous year. I look for a general improvement and development of the railways of the country. Mayor George B. McClellan—The oity and the country are both tetter off than they were a year ago. This year will see a steady advancement In morals and education, as well as in material prosperity. Timothy L. Woodruff—It will be a banner year for the nation. Repub- Hcan policies prevail and a staunch Republican prosperity will fill .the air with good things. BIG INCREASE INVVALUATIDN But Receipts of Live Stock at Chicago Were Less Than in 1908 Chicago, Jan. 3.—The total valuation of live stock received at the Union stock yards during 1909 was $330,614, 200, according to the annual report of M. F. Horine, chief statistician. This amount shows an increase of $24,047,- 682 over last year. The total number of head of live stock received in 1909 was 14,910,600, against 16,036,369 recelved in 1908. This shows a decrease of 1,125,769 head from the 1908 total, but the val- uation shows a material Increase. BANDS TO PLAY IN CHURCH Chicago Pastor Advocates Brass to Keep Hearers Awake. Chicago, Jan. 3.—Brass bands will keep the sleepy worshiper from dozing in the First Congregational 'church of Maywood and will be the novel means of attracting Sunday evening crowds to the church this winter. Sunday night Rev. Percival H. Bar- ker, pastor of the church, who uses bands at his open air services during the .summer months, introduced the new form of services to his congrega- tion. Each Sunday there will be a differ- ent band, with soloists to complete the concert effect. . NO NEW STRIKE DEVELOPEMENTS Switchmen Awaiting Out- come of Perham’s Trip. HOPEFUL OF SETTLEMENT Chairman of Railway Department of Federation of Labor Fears Spread of Trouble, but Has Not Given Up the Idea of a Peaceful Solution. Minnesota Railway Commission De- clares Traffic Conditions Improved. St. Paul, Jan: 3.—Chairman H. B. Perham of the railway department of the American Federation of Labor is quoted in a dispatch from Washington as saying: “The enly developments in the sit- uation are the increased likelihood of a further spread of the strike and the rapidly growing desire of the people of St. Paul and Minneapolis to see the thing ended. “Yet, I am hopeful of an amicable settlement. Of course, my actions are dictated entirely by the minds of the switchmen. I am all for peace mow, but in a few days I may be fighting for all that is in me. “There does not seem any probabil- ity of the matter being taken directly to the president.” Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was in conference with Chairman Perham over developments in the switchmen’s strike. This was announced in a tele- gram received from Mr. Perham by President Hawley of the Switchmen’s ‘union. The formal conference between Chairman Perbam and Mediators Neill and Knapp looking to a reopening of arbitration with the railroad officials has not been concluded. A dispatch from Washington indi- cates that at least one of the parties in the conference believes there is no lkelihood of the affiliated bodies in the Federation of Labor going out on strike. When this statement was read to President Hawley he said: “If any one believes that it must be either Mr. Neill or Mr. Knapp and the opinion of either must be based pure- ly on information—not on knqwledge of what the federation will do. I know Mr. Perham has not made any such statement. In his telegram to me he said that everything looked hopeful.” Finds No Actual Suffering. For some time the railway and ‘warehouse commission has been con- ducting an investigation throughout the affected territory to get at the ex- act facts as to the handling of traffic and to relieve any cases where suffer- ing appears to be caused by the strike. Summing up the information result- ing from its inquiry the commission issued this formal statement: “Since the commencement of the strike the commission has endeavored to keep itself informed as to the actual conditions of the movement of traffic on all the roads in the state, with the view of giving aid to all cases where there was likely to be any suffering or any great loss to the shippers and to this end has sent out several letters to the mayors of the cities and vil- lages, the last one being on Dec. 29, and was sent to cities of 200 inhabi- tants and over. So far, from 500 let- ters sent, the commission has received 220 answers, about fifty of which com- plain of a shortage of fuel, principally of coal, but the replies show there has been no actual suffering. : “We find that coal is moving more or less all the time and probably a number of those complaining have al- ready been relieved. There is also some complaint about cars for the loading of grain and hay. This always happens more or less during this time of the year. Although conditions on the railroads are not yet normal and the public is experiencing considerable inconvenience, from all the replies re- ceived there seems to be a general.im- provement.” DEMANDS BEING FORMULATED Eastern Railroad Men Want More Pay and Shorter Hours. New York, Jan. 3—The demands to be made by railroad trainmen and con- ductors upon Eastern railroads for in- creased wages and shorter hours will be formulated shortly at a meeting to be held in the Broadway Central ho- tel. This meeting will be attended by the general chairman of the union men on each of the big Eastern roads and representatives of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of. Railway Conductors. In view of the action of the Lehigh Valley. railroad in granting a ten-hour day to its conductors the railroad men express confidence that their demands will be granted. WILL NOT BOOST ICE PALACE Canadian Roads Fear Carnival Will Discourage Immigration. Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 3.—Alarmed at the prospect of discouraging Amer- fcan emigration to Canada the rail- roads of the Dominion have refused to give reduced rates or financial as- sistance to Montreal’s proposed ice palace and winter carnival. The rail- roads have secured the support of the Dominion immigration officials in the movement. to head the carnival off. CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON Switchmen's Strike Discussed, but No Action Taken. ‘Washington, Jan. .—H. B. Perham, appearing for the railway ‘department of the American Federation ‘of Labor, went into conference with Chairman Knepp of the interstate commerce commission and United States Labor Commissioner Neill: Mr. Perham’s mission to Washington is to pave the ‘way, if possible, for a peaceful settle- ment of the trouble between the strik- ing switchmen and the Northwestern fallroads. This may be done elther through the agency of the Erdman act or by appeal to President Taft to in- tercede. Mr. Perham will be guided in the matter largely by the advice offered by Chairman Knapp and Commission- er Neill. £ ‘When the first conference ended at 12:30 p. m. nothing definite had been developed. . The whole situation had been discussed and Mr. Perham had submitted a number of documents bearing on the strike developments. The conference was resumed in the afternoon. The understanding is that the crux of the situation is the opposition of the railroads to reinstating the men still out, although the raflroads assert a willingness to employ the strikers in case of vacancies. It is said that 2,600 men are affected. DISCOVER WHITE SLAVE DEN Chicago Police May Have Located Headquarters of Traffic. Chicago, Jan. .—What is regarded by the police as possibly the head- quarters of the white slave traffic, as conducted by Chinese, was discovered when Inspector Wheeler found' twol: young women in a den in Chinatown. Edna Morgan, twenty years old, who says her. ‘home is in Chicago; Mary Moy, twenty-three years old, and Lai King, forty-five years old, a Chinese merchant, were found in a cold, bare room on the seventh and top floor of “Chinatown’s palace.” From the Morgan girl, who said King detained her against her will, the inspector learned that some nights as many as twenty white girls, some scarcely more than seventeen years old, have been taken to the Seventh floor room in the “palace.” MANY RAILROADS IN CANADA Has More Miles Per Capita Than the United States. Ottawa, Ont, Jan. .—In propor tion to population Canada is building more miles of railway than is the United States. Canada’s entire rail road mileage now is 233,000, which is one mile to every 300 inhabitants, as compared with one mile for each 381 inhabitants in the United States. In 1867 in all Canada there were Just 2,278 miles of railroad track There have been constructed in 1909 and are under construction or contract nearly twice as many miles of track as there were in Canada in 1868, o1 4,327 miles. FIRE GAUSES LOSS OF HALF MILLION American Express Company's Otiice at Nev; York Burned. New York, Jan. .—Belated Christ: mas packages and other valuable ex: press packages in large numbers went up in smoke in a fire which destroyed the American Express company’s of- fice and storerooms near the Grand Central station, causing a loss estimat. ed at $500,000. The flames raged for several hours in the main building and smaller structures adjoining, covering the greater part of the block. At periods the fire was punctuated by explosions, believed to have been supplied by oil barrels among the goods in the warehouses. Two men were seriously injured. The Adams Express company build- ings nearby were threatened, but:hard work by the firemen saved these structures. A large part of the loss was said to be due to the destruction of a quan- tity of valuable furs stored in. the warehouse and which were to be shipped to Europe. HIS FRIENDS AND EMPLOYES Chicagoan’s Will Leaves Million to Two Hundred Persons. Chicago, Jan. '.—Former employes, business assoclates, friends and per- sonal servants—all those who had served him and all from whom he had kindness—are named as beneficiaries in the will of C. W. Marks, who was a shoe dealer. The document is to be filed for probate within a few days. Nearly $1,000,000, it is said, will be divided among about 200 persons. He had no immediate relatives. SEPARATED FOR ONE YEAR Ruling of Court in a Brooklyn Divorce Case. New York, Jan. .—When Laura E. Herb sald she couldn’t live any longer ‘with her husband, Franklin D. Herb, and Franklin D. Herb said he no lon- ger could tolerate Laura E. Herb for a wife, Justice Crane of Brooklyn said he didn’t believe they wanted to end their married life and that all they needed was a vacation. So he ruled that for one year the Herbs should let their love rest. There is to be no divorce and no de- cree of permanent separation. Only a separation for one year. But for one year Justice Crane says these two un- happy ones must remain severely away from each other. HEIRESS IS STILL ' MISSING 8o Is the Man Who Disappeared at the Same Time. Philadelphia, Jan. 3.—Diligent search by many private detectives, aided by the police of Philadelphia, New York and Eastern cities, failed to disclose a clue as to the whereabouts of Roberta de Janon, the sixteen-year-old heiress, and Ferdinand Cohen, a waiter at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel, who are be- lieved to have disappeared together last Wednesday. ‘While letters in the possession of Cohen’s wife, purported to have been written by the girl, show a strange fascination-for the man, the police are working on the theory that there may have been another motive connectdd with the disappearance of the pair. OTHER UNIOKS 'VOTE ON STRIKE May Go Out on Roads Fight- ' ing Switchmen, WILLNOT BE SYMPATHETIC Declared That if a General Walkout 1s Ordered It WIill Be Based on Actual Grievances of the Organiza: tions Involved—Chairman of Affill ated Unions in Conference With Federal Mediators. St. Paul, Jan. .—President Frank | T. Hawley of the Switchmen’s Union,| iof North America made these two | Btatements relative to the strike situa tion: First—A strike vote has been in progress for several days ‘from St. Paul to Seattle, through the entire Pa.| effic Northwest, among the eleven un- lons in the railway department of the American Federation of Labor. Second—If a general strike is' de- clared it will not be a sympathetic strike, but in each individual case wir' be based on actual grievances of the unions taking part, President Hawley was asked: “If any other union strikes—say the telegraphers, for instance—will these strikers receive benefits from their own union or from the Switchmen’s union?” “That,” said he, “is a point which was fully discussed by the railway de- partment’s conference and it has been settled on a basis of mutual interest. ‘Whatever benefits are paid will be paid by an arrangement of the Amer- fcan Federation of Labor” Miss Logan to Wed Foreigner.
