New York, Nov. 29.—It was a not able audience that filled the auditorium of the Broadway tabernacle, the occa- sion being a memorial service in honor of Minnesota. | J, Edward Swanstrom, former presi- ran, rendered a singing program, as also did the eboir. At 4 o'clock, when the services be- gan, there was not a vacant seat in | the vast auditorium, while the entire | rear of the lobby was a solid mass of | people, all there to do honor to that | dead executive whose memory will #® | long be remembered and whose life is | | beld up as an example and an instance | of how a man can raise himself from | { a place of leadership. Among the notables present was | Ex-Governor E. H. Hopper of Colorado; | | Henry Clews, the New York banker; Governor Hughes, Charles A. Towne, | and A. J. Johnson, Scandinavian consul | | at New York. | President Taft’s Letter. | President Taft had been invited, but pressing business kept him from ac- | | cepting the invitation and he sent the following telegram’ to Mr. Swanstrom: “The White House, Washington, “My dear sir: “I have yours of Nov. 6, inviting me to attend the memorial meeting in honor of the memory of the late Gov- ernor Johnson of Minnesota, to be held in New York City on Sunday, Nov. 28 inst., 4 p. m., under the auspices of the American Scandinavian society. “I am very sorry that it will be im- | possible, because of the press of pub- | lic matters, for me to attend the meet- him highly as a friend, and regarded | | bis promotion to the governorship of a |great state, and to national promi- nence as a statesman and citizen, as {ity of opportunity that we have in this country, and on the fact that high character, earnest endeavor and great ability and intelligence, will enable & man to raise himself from the hum- | blest position in society to be a lead- er among us. “I happened to be in Minneapolis jat the time of Governor Johnson's last illness, and expressed my deep |sympathy with his fellow citizens at | the great loss which they would suffer ‘in his death. “Very sincerely yours, (Signed) WILLIAM H. TAFT.” The Rev. Dr. Heckler opened the | services with a short prayer; this was |followed by addresses by Rev. Fred- erick Lynch, vice president of the | Scandinavian society; by Mr. Towne and by the Rev. Stolpa, pastor of the \largest Scandinavian church in the |city, the Gustavus Adolphus church. | Gov. Hughes’ Speech. The principal speech of the day was | made by Governor Hughes. He said ‘in part: “We have met today to pay | tribute, respect and esteem to the | character and service of a great man. | We are united without regard to so- | cial, racial or political divisions. Such is the beneficient and harmonizing in- | @uence of a great life and such is the |tmmediate response that all Ameri- |cans make to eminent public service ‘and exhibition of rare qualities of mind and character. | “I am very glad of an opportunity to express the sentiment of which the | people of this state join the people of | Minnesota and all states in adimra- ‘tion and affectionate regard of a pure | |minded, able and efficient leader of | the people. It is a revelation of his | Progress from lowliness and obscurity to the high position of distinction | which he reached. | | H should give heart to every young man ).| who thinks that the odds are some- | | what against him. | “is repeated victories in a state, | | the majority of whose voters were ap- | faith, | shows what a strong hold he had, not | parently of another political simply upon the affectionate regard of the people, but upon the judgment of | the people, for Governor Johnson could not have carried Minnesota | merely out of sentiment. He carried | the sentiment was supplemented by sincere respect and by affection.” Murderer of Six Must Die. Grundy, Va., Nov. 28.—Howard Lit- | tle, charged with the murder of Aunt Betsy Justis and five others, was found guilty. The victims of the sex- tuple murderer besides Mrs. Justis were George Meadows, his wife and three members of his family. The murder took place at Hurley, Buchan- an county, and the bodies of the vic- tims were burned. The jury, after an all-night deliberation, returned a yer- dict of guilty in the first degree. Lit- tle was sentenced to be electrocuted ia Richmond, Sen. Te | of the late Governor John A.

Company Claims Im- munity. Washington, Nov. 30.—A fair repre sentation of the Minneapolis bar is resting in Washingtoa to await the calling of the Minneapolis street rail- way case in the United States supreme court. ‘he case 1s well down on the | calendar called at the opening of ; court and will be reached probably Wednesday, or Thursday of this week. City Attorney Frank Healy and Judge W. A. Lancaster, are on hand representing the city of Minneapolis. On behalf of the Street Railway com- pany, there appeared Judge M. B. Koon, Judge Milton 1D. Purdy, M. D. Munn of St Paul and M. N. Thygeson of St Paul The arguments of the | case will probably be made by Judge Lancaster, for the city, and by Judge Koon for the traction company. The city’s right to provide by ordi- nance for the granting of six fares for 8 Quarter Is at stake fn the case. Bas- ing its claims to immunity upon a 50- year charter granted !n 1875, the Traction company asserts that it 1s not amendable to a substitute ordin- ance to change the rate of fare pro- vided in that charter ordinance. The city’s claims attempt to do Away entirely with the contract rights claimed by the street car line. It will | be asserted that the company never | dad more than a 30 year franchise, and that the subsequent act of the city in 1890, whereby electricity was substi- tuted for horse power, constituted | merely a license to the Street Car | company, and was tn no sense a con- |tract. The city, it will be claimed, re- | tained all its rights of public power | and regulation. Minnesota Lumber Cases Up. A motion to advance the time for hearing the cases of the state of Min- |gesota against the Rat-Portage Lum- ber company and the Le Sueur Lum ber company, was made in the su- breme court by Frederick S. Tyler, |acting for Attorney General George T. Simpson. The motion prepared by At- torney General Simpson, asks that the case be set for hearing to follow the | case of the Shevlin-Carpenter Lumber company, which will come up about | Jan. 15. The appeals in all of the cases have been taken to the United States su preme court, by the lumber company, from the decision of the Minnesota supreme court. The validity of the Minnesota timber statutes is in. con- troversy, the lumber companies having been ordered to pay penalty for tim- ver trespassing. N. D. Liquor Case. A test sult to decide the constitu- Houality of the North Dakota law re- quiring the publication and filing of government liquor licenses, will be ad- Judged before the United States su- preme court immediately following the Minnesota street railway case, the lat- ler part of this week. R. E. Flaherty was taken into cus- tody by the sheriff of Grand Forks county because he had failed to adver- tise and file his government liquor li- cense. The supreme court of North Dakota refused a writ of habeas cor- pus, thereby upholding the North Da kota law. It is claimed in the appeal to the supreme court here that the state law is unconstitutional and that, while it appears to be an act to regulate liquor traffic, it does not in fact attempt to accomplish that end, but rather leaves it to the government to determine to what extent it shall engage in ‘the liquor business. M’GOVERN IS ON ALL-AMERICAN. Minnesota Quarterback Given Place by Washington Critic. Washington, Nov. 80—Johnny Mc. Govern, the Minnesota quarterback, is | given a place on the All-American foot- ball team selected by the Washington | Herald. The Herald says of McGovern: “Howe of Yale, O'Flaherty of Har. vard and Bergin of Princeton are only of mediocre caliber. Sprackling of Brown is a good man, and Vooris of | Pennsylvania State has also shown | marked skill in handling his team, but from several who knew football and have seen McGovern play, it is stated that the Minnesota quarter has some thing on all the Eastern lads.” Minnesota is the only Western team that is given representation on the Herald's AllAmerican elevn. Taft Begins Message. Washington, Nov. 30.—President Taft has begun dictating his annual mes- | sage to congress and will be busily en- gaged at that task for the next few days. He expects to complete the | work and have it in the hands of the | public printer by the middle of the | present week. | Labor Gase up to High Court. Washington, Nov. 30.—The petition | for a writ of certiorari in the con tempt proceedings against Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, officers of the American Federation of Labor, was formally pre- sented to the supreme court of the United States by Judge Alton B. Par- ker of New York. The petition, if granted, will have the effect of bring. ing up to the highest tribunal the whole Bucks Stove & Range litigation Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Morri- ‘City Would Change Fare Rate and | A Telephone Is the Handiest Piece of Furniture you cnn have In Your Rome Get the habit and you won’t be without one.
