Another bold attempt at highway rob- bery was made shortly after 9 o'clock Sun- day evening on the Queen's Chupel read, about three miles out from this city. Dr. G. A. Richardson of Hyattsville, Md., had been visiting several of his patients in the vicinity of the Ram’s Horn, and was re- turning home. He had just massed over the little bridge across Northwest branch and had slackened the reins so as to allow his horse to have a brcathing svel!, when he noticed the dark forms of several men near the roadside, oniy a few yards in front of him.

The annval reunton and Grand Lodge ses- sion of the Benevolent and Protective Or- der of Elks, which will be held in Min- neapolis in July next, promises td be the largest and most successful meeting ever held under the auspices of this well-known order. C. M. Foote, the chairman of the executive committee, which has in charge the preparations for the meeting, has is- sued a circular which invites any one and every one to attend the meeting who is in any way connected with the order. The advantages of a trip to Minneapolis in July as a summer outing are set forth, and al! the attractions of the north star state in the vicinity gf the city in question find a prominent place in the letter. Railroads will offer round-trip tickets at the rate of one fare, and these will be honored for thirty days, so that all who attend the session may visit points of interest in that section of the country. Ampie hotel ac- commodations are promised visitors, and the executive committee is already’ hard at work preparing for the event. Minne- apolis wil’ be attired in gay colors when the Elks arrive, a large sum of money hav- ing already been subscribed for this pur- pose. Each Elk on arriving at Minneapolis will be given a badge, provided he has_his traveling card certified up to date. This will be done to guard against impostors. A special feature of the reunion will be the local ladies’ reception committee, who will look after the wives and daughters of visiting Elks. It is expected that quite a large delegation of Elks will represent the capital city at Minneapolis, and officers of the local order are busy aining who will make up the party The program which has been prepared for the reunion is as follows: + Monday—General reception ters and assignment of quarters Tuesday—Public opening of the Grand Lodge at 10 a.m., and followed by Grand Lodge executive meeting. In ihe evening, general receptions. Wedhesday—St. Paul day. The members of the St. Paul Lodge have prepared a treat for visitors. Thursday—Grand parade at 10 a.m., ani in the afternoon a visit to Minnehaha Falls. The various industries of the city, incivding the largest flour mills in the world, will also be inspected on that day. A night at Lak jet. Friday—Mi: day. There will be a special musical program at all the ho- tels all day, and all the steamboats on the lake will be chartered for the exclu- sive use of the Kiks. In the evening pos- sion of the boats will still be retained balls in honor of the visitors will also be given at all the hotels at the lake. Saturday—Many side trips will be start- ed and cn this day the big excursion to Yellowstone Park will also leave the city. Minneapolis is an ideal starting point for a hundred entrancing side trips, which may be made at leisure after the Grand Lodge meetings have adjourned. There will be an enormous party taken out to the Yellow- stone Park, and all the railroads have sum- mer outing places near in the northwest. One of the most beautiful places to visit {s Lake Minnetonka. This big and beautiful lake is situated only fifteen miles from the heart of the city, and three lines of rail- road keep it in excellent and constant com- munication with the business center. There are dozens of hotels there and three large and famous ones. A number of Elks are making arrangements to stop there instead of in the heart of the etty.

Believes They Should Be Elected by Direct Vote of the People— Reasons for the Change. Mr. Turple of Indiana took the floor in the Senate today to speak in favor of his joint resolution for an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of senators by direct vote of the people. After reviewing the historical points he spoke directly upon the subject of the three cases now pendirg in the Senate: “There is certainly a very clear incon- gruity between the legislative duties ana the office of choosing senators of the United States. This disagreement has become greater as the country has grown older. It is now not uncommon that the legisla- ture of a state spends the whole time of its ions in the effort to elect a United States senator, and adjourns without suc- ceeding in the attempt. This results in the total neglect by the members of the gen- eral assembly of their functions as law- givers of the state. Thus the rights and interests local to the people of the state are submerged, overwhelmed and forgot- ten in the struggle over the senatorial elec- tion. Besides this, the condition of politi- cal parties becomes sometimes so evenly balanced as that a very small number— two or three members of the legislature helonging to some midcle or third party in a small minority among the people—is able to determine the choice of senator, or to prevent one being made. The inability | to elect by the legislative body is becom- ing more and more frequent. It is not a physical disability; it ts rather a political or functioral inability induced by the too close equilibrium of dissenting forces who are unable to unite upon a choice. Deprived of Equal Suffrage. “It is true, as has already been noted, that the Federal Constitution provides that no state shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate, but the fact is that under the present mode of choosing United States senators by the legislatures many of the states have been, from time to time, deprived of their equal suffrage in the Senate. Washington, Wyoming, Mon- tana and Delaware until a quite recent date were so situated, and at this very time the states of Oregon and Kentucky are deprived of their equal representation in the Senate by reasor of the inabili of the legislatures to elect. All these evi will disappear by this change in the metho of electing senators. “The people at large would not be hin- dered by any such disability. They woul. vole for the senator the same as they weuld do for the governor, and a count of the vote would decide the election.” Mr. Turpie then spoke of the usurpation of the power of trusts and the influence they exerted over state legislatures. He continued: “This syndicate of the trusts in its ac- tion bears no relation to the actual busi- hess carried on by any of its incorporated members, such as transportation or man- ufactures, Its aim is political supremac by ¢irect contro! of the ballot among its very numerous employes and agenis. It presents the quesucn, bare and naked, to every empioye, whether he will vote ‘the ticket of the syndicate or cast his ballot a his conscience and judgment may dictat with the alternative of losing his pla and and this to a class of me hood depends upon their daily work and earnings. This is an instance of despotism, so odious and offensive, so con- trary to the inborn freedom of manhood, in such deadly hostility to liberty and jus tice, as could only have been invented and ynforced by the shameless insoleace and audacity of the syndicate of trusts. “The force bill, not long ago driven from this chamber in defeat and discomtiture, has been, with marvelous unanimity of expression by the public press of the coun- try, denounced us infamous, but this later e of the syndicate of trusts ist fold more worthy of such a designation. The oligarchy of the trusts say with lis guid indifference, “The laborer worthy of his hire;’ then they add with earnest emphasis, ‘but not of his vote; his vote is ours.’ The Olignrchy of the Trusts. “The oligarchy of the thirty trusts pro- fesses intense opposition to free lumber, free wool, free coffee, free coinage, but it abhors with most perfect hate the free bal- lot. With the free ballot this syndicate of trusts would be sent back to their original calling—that of furnishing shoes or sugar. calico and carpets, transportation for freight and passengers, purveyors of goods and merchandise, common carriers of the public—all very useful and honorable voca- ticns if honestly pursued, but not to be compared in their estimation with that with which they today so arrogantly as- sume the control of the legislation and of the government of the United States. “I do not include all corporations. Some of these have acted quite honorably, but they were not considerable in number. The late election was as free to their employes as elections had been formerly—they were not in or of the trust of oligarchy. “The plotters in this tyranny of trusts have not tried to avail themselves of the terms of public law; they have not even a pretense of authority. They skulk behind secret orders of the company, and hide among the shadows of the incorporated wraiths and ghosts, who, unseen and wu: known, conduct this insidious raid against the franchise.” The legislative caucus, he declared, was peculiarly adapted to thé control of trusts. Mr. Turpte closed with a declaration that this amendment was in accordance with the great precedent of progress and ad- vancement set forth in the preamble of the Constitution. 3 e+ They Were Mean. “Yes, sir. T am guilty, sir,” answered William H. Dorsher, in a feminine voice, when arraigned in court this morning as a vagrant ard suspicicus person. “I was sleeping in the house, but I wasn’t going to steal anything.” William Henry Dorsher is a colored youth, who is apparently about eighteen years old, and a policeman found him sleeping .n a house at an early hour this morning. “Boys hr ve been breaking open this house and sleeping there,” said the officer, “and we have been trying to break up the prac- tice fer some time.” “Where do you belong?’ William was asked. “My native home,” he answered, “is at Franklin Jurction, between Lynchburg and Danville, but I haven't been there for three years.” “Where have you been?” Going about the county, working in Mary- land and Virginia, but I don’t work in one place very long because people kick and cuff me about so much.” “Don’t you think it about time you were going back home?” “I'd like to go, but the people there are so mean and awful that I can’t stand them.” “William,” said the judge, “I am going to send you to the workhouse, and when you get out I'd advise you to go home. ‘Will you go?” “I won't go home, because they are too mean to me,” said William, “but I'll go somewhere else. “Thirty day: en It matters little what it is that you want rhether a situation or a servant—a ‘want’ ad. in The Star will reach the perscn v.ho can fill your need. —-—_— Death of Elmer Skidmore.

A boitle containing a note was found by a colored boy named Willie Tucker y day floating in the river near the bathing beach. It was turned ever to the police of the first precin The note was “Tedy Benseman Elmwood avenu lumbia, S.C,” and in it the writer request- ed that his relatives be notified that he had ended his life. A telegram from Columbia states that no person by the name mentioned is known ‘n that city. The number, 527 Elmwood ave- nue, if it existed, would be in about the center of a large city. The police are of the opinion that the note and bottle were thrown in the river by a practical joker. in case it is found that he really told the Chinese merchants that the laws of Amer- ica had nothing to do with them. ae Several Fires. Engine company No. 10 responded to a local alarm about 5:30 o'clock last evening for a fire in house 812 13th street north- east. The blaze was caused by the explo- sion of a can of gasoline, and damage to the amount of $100 resulted. The house is owned by D. D. Thompson and occupied by Minnie Taytor. A lace curtain igniting from a lighted gas jet caused a small fire about 7. last evening at house 1716 9th street, occu- pied by L. P. Stearns. No. 7 engine com- pany responded to a local alarm and quick- ly subdued the miniature conflagration. Fire was discovered at 1 o'clock this morning at 1316 11th street, the cause being a defective flue. No. 7 engine company was called to the scene and rendered all necessary assistance. The house of Lewis Raymond, 311 7th street southwest, was damaged to the ex- tent of $5 shortiy before 8 o'clock this morning by: fire.

The taxes on the best improved property would be considerably lowered, probably ic one-half. The taxes on idle lands wouid be doubled. The home owner would have much less taxes to pay, while the mere iand specula- tor would have much more.
