Occasion Was Unique. ‘These announcements were made by President Mellen of the Northern Pa- cific at Davenport yesterday. The oc- casion was unique in the history of American railroading.

They were James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern; President Mellen of the Northern Pa- cific, and President A. L. Mohler of the Oregon Railway and Navigation lines. Public ad-Jresses were delivered by the three presidents. Then adjournment was taken to the armory, where an old- fashioned country dinner was served to the railway guests and visitors from the surrounding country, After dinner hundreds of people gathered around the railway presidents, shaking hands and lstening to spirited discussions. Hill Explains Matters. Various counties and districts had sent delegations to the convention, and after dinner these delegates reas- sembled in the convention hall and through their spokesman laid their wishes before the railway presidents. Mr. Hill was the only president speaking at the conference. He an- swered nany questions from time to time, offered numerous voluntary ex- planations of matters that seemed all wrong to the farmers, and repeatedly sked the farmers to speak out their “beliefs and convictions. He was fre- quently applauded and the convention was always alert to applaud any tell- ing point made by delegates or by the president. The entire proceedings were charac- terized by good spirit and there was much good nature displayed. Later the party left for Colfax, in the Palouse country, where a similar con- ference will be held to-day. MST=RIOUSLY SHOT. Young Lady Probably Fatally Wounded While Walking Alone.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 6. — Finks! stein, whose crusade against public gambling closed the eight houses in Des Moines two weeks ago, was mur- Gered last night at an alley entrance between Sixth and Seventh streets, ¢n Fast Walnut street. He was on his way home, less than a block and a half away, when a man stepped out of the shadow of the alley and struck him @ blow over the head with a singletree. Finkelstein fell to the ground. Four men saw him fall and ran to assist him. He was dead when they arrived. His skull had been crushed. Beyond the bloody singletree, which was left be- side the victim, the only clue to the murderer is a report that a little after the time of the murder one unrecog- nized man was cyerheard to say to an- other: “I killed the ——.” and at an- other time one man was heard to tell another “Keep your mouth shut.” The murder is supposed to have re- sulted from Finkelstein’s action in pros- ecuting the gamblers. He did not ob- sect to public gambling, but wanted the city to receive a revenue from it, he said, and when the police did not raid the houses he filed complaints with the sheriff, The resultant raids proved £0 expensive that the gamblers cloced their places.
