DES MOINES, Sept. #.—(Special)—The state rallroad commissioners are in a con- troversy with the Northwestern raflroad over a peculiar situation in regard to frelght rates. Some time ago shippers in Mason City made complaint that the Northwestern was charging interstate rates on shipments of goods to points on the Algona line of the Northwestern, whereas formerly the rates of the state commission were applied on this class of business, The shipments are from one point in the state to another In the state, but the goods pass in transit through Minnesota.

Elbert Sullivan, son of the parties robbed, told how he was | decoyed away from his home by Richards on the evening of the robbery, corroborat T |ing the testimony of Baird who stated yes- terday that the defendant said he would get, the boy away. Every witness placed on the stand corroborated closely the story told by the ex-convict and strengthened ma- terally the case the state is making against the ex-deputy. While Baird was telling his story of the | robbery and Richards' alleged connection, he was asked where he went after the shooting. He replied that he ran through some streets and alleys and came to a pig stye. “My wound was hurting .me dreadfully, and T got into the pig pen and lay down, In a little while I heard some people coming. I suppose they had tracked me by my blood. When they came up one of them sald to the other to look into the hog house. The other fellow said: ‘Do you think I am a damn f00l?” Then they went away. In that party I thought I saw Rich- ards, but I will not be sure. I went to the nearest house and tried to arouse some- body. I must have lost lots of blood for I was nearly frozen. Soon I heard someone coming that way and I lay down In the shade of a house until they passed. I then went to a house where there was a light and hid the money under a porch. There was a doctor living there. I forget his t | name.” The testimony of the Sulltvans went over the whole story of the robbery when three men called at thelr house and two entered and demanded the money which had been taken from a bank on that day, the subse- quent torture of Mrs. Sullivan to compel her to tell, and the recognition of Richards as one of the persons connected with the crime, Elbert Sullivan, the young man who the state says was decoyed from his home on the evening of the shooting and robbery, $| told the jury how Richards asked him to £0 10 a restaurant up town and by a ruse got him to remain away from home during the robbery, Bullivan’s testimony was val- uable for the state, and it was corroborated by Mrs., McKinney, proprietoress of ' the restaurant as to time and conversation. Bullivan's story contradicted the generally accepted theory that the robbers placed the lamp under Mrs. Sullivan's feet and tor- tured her until she revealed the hiding place of the money. The money, he says, was produced before the lamp was placed under her feet. The state falled to prove by Hayes Long | that Richards was near enough to overhear Banker Wilcox tell witness that Mrs. Sulli- van had better leave the money In the house.

During the last year there were at least sixty strikes in commercial business in the state of Towa, according to the reports of employers to the State Labor bureau, but they have not reported that there was violence or the threat of violence In a single instance, except at Dubuque. The reports on strikes show, in fact, that they were peaceably conducted and that there was no great amount of feeling displayed. Commissioner Brigham this morning com- pleted the preliminary story for his bien- nial report, Introducing the statistical ta- bles compiled from the reports of em- ployers. The office sent out blanks to 4,000 employers of labor In Iowa and se- cured satisfactory returns from 1627 of them, and from 5738 others recelved ac- knowledgments; but 45 per cent of the em- ployers falled to make any report. The total number of employers reporting in- creased 2648 per cent since 18%6. In the same period the average number of em- ployes to the establisliments reporting in- creased from twenty-elght to thirty-elght, The Increase In female labor was 5277 per cent. In four years the increase in child labor in Iowa was 322 per cent, and the commissioner calls special attention to this in his report. Orphans’ Home Report.

The evi- dence showed that practically all of the time of the convention county delegation was in the same room with the others, but did not participate at the time the nomination was made. As only half of the delegates entitled to seats in the convention conducted the proceed- fngs, further, it was contended that there was no legal quorum participating, hence no nomination was made by either faction. On the other hand, it was contended that there 15 no law or rule requiring a ma- Jority of the delegates present before a political convéntion can do business. The question is one that has not before been the Dickinson | brought to the attention of any public tribunal. ‘Work for Church Uniom. Three religious denominations in the west have come out openly in favor of church unity. They are the United Brethren, the Congregationalists and the Methodist Protestants. Each has delegated to repre- sentatives the duty of working to that end This afternoon at the United Brethren conterence in Summit church this subject was brought up. The conference received a delegation from the Methodist Protestant church conference of this state, which was delegated by its body to present the subject officlally to the United Brethren confer- ence of the Des Moines district. President 8. J. Geddes of the state conference and Rev. E. 8. Brown of Newton and J. M Pickett of Des Moines were the commis- sion. Though this conference cannot settle the question, it is expected that some reso- lutions will be adopted and later will be presented to the general conference, and that the Methodist Protestants will also take the same resolutions before thelr state body. BOARD OF TRADE IS BEATEN Injunet Prayed for Against the Onristie Cos ¥ is Not Allowed. DUBUQUE, Ia., Sept. 2.—Judge Shiras has written the opinion for the United Btates court of appeals in the case of the Christie Grain and Stock company et al, | appellant, against the Board of Trade of | Chicago, appellee, reversing the decision of | the federal court of Missour! and remand- | Ing the case to that court with instructions | to dismiss the bill at complainant's cost.| The Chicago board of trade secured an | injunction in the lower court against the Christie company restraining it from ob-| talning from the telegraph companies any of the quotations furnished by the board of trade, alleging that the quotations were private property and could not be furnished except on contract. The testimony developed that 85 per cent of the transactions of the board was gamb- ling in margins, that by admission of the board it was shown that it maintained bucketshops. On this evidence the appellate court holds that the board of trade did not | come into court with clean hands, or for a lawful purpose, and clearly it was not the duty of the court of equity to grant any relet prayed by it, that the transactions were in violation of the statute of Llinols and therefore unlawful. $11.30 {, Louis and Return, October 4 to 9, in- clusive, the Burlington will sell tickets to St, Louis and back at half rate.
