Powibility of New Trial of Cases— 4 0"rlen Says That Decision of " Court is Plain, - NO FIGHT ON TWO-CENT FARE Railroads May Technically Delay Dis- missal of Injunction Suits As- serts St. Paul Attomey. AGREEMENT BINDS S00 LINE Must Put in New Rates Unless the " Northern Pacific Get Another Chance From Supréme Court. The possibility of an application for a rehearing by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific roads and the possibility that the St. Paul road and the Northwestern lines may ask for a trial of their rate cases which are pending in the circuit court, still remain before the victory of the state in ‘the railroad cases is complete. T. D. O’'Brien, counsel for the state in the cases, declares that while tech- nically the roads could delay the dismissal of the injunction suits, the decision of the Supreme Court was so plain he did not see what the roads would gain by fighting the cases fur- ther. As far as the Soo line is concerned, there was a stipulation between its attorneys and attorneys for the state that it would abide by the de- elsion in the Northern Pacific case, €0 this line will put in the rates un- iess the Northern Pacific gets a re- h'enlns‘ A. H. Bright, general counsel for the road said he thought this stipulation settled the matter as far as the Soo line 18 concerned. Fur- thérmore, the Soo line meets the Great Northern and Northern Paci- fic in 80 many competing points that it could mot successfully maintain higher rates than those two roads. Railroad men generally say the op- position was not so much to the two- cent fare as to the commodity rates. A two-cent fare wifl mean an inerease _of husiness. which..may-_actually in- crease revenues, or at least make the net loss insignificant. A . eut in {reight rates, on -the _other. hand, brings very little if any new busi- ness and makes a big cut in.reve- nues. The action of the St. Paul and Northwestern lines, of course, will govern the action of the weaker roads. The Minneapolis & St. Louis road is, by the court’s decision, per- iitted to charge higher rates, but competition will compel it to make low rates to-get business. The Chi- cago Great Western, the state’s at- torneys admit, might make as good a case as the St. Louis road, but com- petition will govern this road’s action also. The Rock Island is noi classed as a weak road, although its Minne- sota business is not large. This road also has so. many competing points. that it will have to be governed by what the other roads do. The Bur- lington and other roads named in the suits have comparatively little mil- eage in the state. The “weaker” road, if anything, would like to put a lower rate than the other roads. In fact the Great Western and the St. Louis roads have been trying for six months to get per- mission of the Western Passenger as- sociation for a differential of $2 from the Twin Cities to Chicago and Omaha on the ground that with their Jlonger lines they are uhable to get “any through business if rates are the same. . What the roads will do will not be known until the decision of the Supreme Court is transmitted to the ‘circuit court in St. Paul for dismis- #al, which may take ten days, after ‘Which the roads-affected have thirty ‘days in which to ask for a-rehearing.

Under. the direction of Miss May Brunner, principal of the North side school, a g'x weeks session of sum- mer school will begin Monday.

'Upon request of the United Press, officlals at the Pension office today looked up ‘the records .of veterans of wars of ‘the United States. -~ This compilation showed. that.on May 30th last, there were in various parts of the world 457,000 survvors--of ‘the civil war. On the same day there were less than 1,000 survivors of the Mexican war. There 18 not the name of a single sur- vivor of the war of 1812 on the pen- sion office records, but there are about 200 widows of veterans of ‘the second war with Great Britain who are today drawing pensions. The average age of the civil war veteran today is 71. According to the average death rate of the veter- ans of that conflict it is estimated that there will be 40,000 less civil war pensioners next year than there were this year, and that the deaths for 1915 will number approximately 50,000, In ten years, pension office officials declared today, the United States will be paying no more pen- 'sions to civil war veterans. In five years it is expected there will be no more Mexican war veterans. In the last two years it has cost the government about $200,000,000 annually to pay pensions, and this vear it costs more owing to the new “dollar-a-day” pemsion law which has_become effective. Last year the outlay was about $154,000,000, whieh included the upkeep.-of the pension office here. [ Eaditors Commg, Live Stock Special, | Wild ‘West Show, Parade and Business Men’s Luncheon.
