WILL TRY TO AVOID
WINTER BATEWARS
OEEAT WESTERN ROAD WILL CUL-
TIVATE PEACEFUL RELATIONS.
This Is According to New York Infor
mation, Which, However, Is Not
Borne Out by Fight Last Week with
North-Western Over Omaha Excur
sion Rates.
Bpeoial to The Journal.
New York, Oct. 24.There has been
a decided change .in the executive poli
cy of Chicago Great Western during
the past six months. The company
has dropped its usual role of a seeker
after trouble. One of its directors
gave the fact away in the following re
mark
There is not going to be a rate war
this winter so far as the Great West
ern is concerned. The rate war last
year was for principle, and we won, but
we didn't, make any money out of *t.
The only heritage we have from last
year is a passed dividend on our pre
ferred A stock. I don't think the rate
wars had much to do with it. but prob
ably they had some. Anyway, our pol
icy will be peace for a while."
This statement, coining on top of
various remarks to the same intent
from Eock Island, North-Western and
St. Paul officials, and coupled with the
fact that in each of the annual reports
of these companies the rate war last
year is bewailed as one of the great
causes of the falling off in earnings,
may be taken to mean that there is
less chance for cheap freight rates this
winter than there has been for years.
It looks as tho the northwest will have
to get along without its usual spasms
of trouble between the roads.
Certainly, it may be stated with all
possible positiveness that neither the
Bock Island nor North-Western is po
ing to do anything that might disturb
the situation. There are one or two
branches of trade that the Eock Island
would like to develop in the northwest,
but they won't do it if it looks like
causing any trouble. Positive orders
have been issued to all traffic superin
tendents to use the utmost care in
touching the business of other roads.
Similar orders have been sent to traf
fic men on nearly all the northwest
ern roads.
The fact is, and it may as well be
stated flatly, that the railroad mag
nates are determined that .neither the
Great Western nor any other small road
shall this year precipitate trouble that
will be a great expense to the big sys
tems. Last year the war cost the big
roads about seventy-five to one hundred
thousand dollars in net earnings very
month. The cost is too high for the
fun, and the magnates will cut it out
if they have to take it in hand them
selves.
HUNGER FOR RAILROADS
North Dakota Towns Want Feeders to
Soo's New Line.
Special to The Journal.
Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 24.The
building of the Soo line thru nojrthern
Minnesota to the Canadian boundary
has stirred up the people of the North
Dakota side of the valley to an interest
in railroad building such as has not ex
isted for years. There is scarcely a
town in the valley that has not some
Soo project on foot. A meeting was
held at Glasston last Thursday night,
and committees were appointed for the
purpose of bringing about, if possible
the building of a branch from Emerson
to the McLean cement mines west of
Glasston. Similar meetings have been
held in most of the towns in Pembina
county, and in other counties there is
similar interest. Grafton is at work on
a Soo line, and Grand Forks and Fargo
have been thinking the situation over
There is some interest here in a proj
ect for a road from Grand Forks south
west to Hope and Valley City, striking
Norihwood, Hope, Sherbrooke, and a
number of smaller places. The plan is
to organize an independent company,
and then mako thru arrangements with
either the Soo or the Northern Pacific,
which ever road will prove the most
amenable to reason.
There is some talk' of the possibility
of legislation repealing the law requir
ing railroads to run daily trains on all
roads. As a matter of fact this law is
now a dead letfer, but in some circles it
is said that as long as it is on the Tbooks,
it operates as a hindrance to the build
ing of branch lines.

SPOONER PEOPLE
DOUBT INTERVIEW
Republican Leaders in Chicago
Headquarters Defend Wis
consin Senator.
By W. W. Jermane.
Chicago, Oct. 24.The incident of the
Spooner interview in New York,
which the eloquent badger statesman
was quoted as hinting that there might
be some question as to the election oi
republican presidential electors in his
state, has stirred up a good deal of in
terest at national republican headquar
ters in this city. There is a disposition
to doubt that the interview was gen
uine. At least a dozen of Spooner 'B
friends in Wisconsin have volunteered
the opinion that the interview was
either fictitious or so garbled .as to dis
tort its intended meaning, and the re
publicans at national headquarters are
naturally inclined to give Spooner the
benefit of such a doubt. It is also de
nied from "Wisconsin that he had any
fiery interview with Chairman Cortel
you. Two Chicago newspapers sought
to confirm the interview by wire, but
without success, Mr. Spooner declining
to say anything.
Chairman Cortelyou is to be in Chi
cago this week, perhaps before Wednes
day, and when he comes all necessary
light will be thrown upon the situation.
He was to have come last week, but the
campaign has been pressing so hard in
New York that he could not get away.
Spooner for Peace.
Senator Spooner has upon several oc
casions said to members of the republi
can national committee, that he would
be entirely satisfied with the decision of
the state supreme court, and would try
to have that decision accepted by the
stalwarts in the event of its going
against them. Agreeably to this posi
tion, he did so try, but, as everybody
knows, without success, ithe stalwart or
ganization being too strongly anti-La
Follette to yield to his harmonizing
pressure.
Since the decision was rendered, and
only a few days after the republican
national committee had decided that, in
the light of the decision, it must recog
nize the La Follette organization,
Spooner visited the Chicago headquar
ters and said voluntarily to the men in
charge that he could find no fault with
them for their recognition of the La
Follette state committee. He added:
"I
admit that you, being desirous of
electing a republican president, must,
in our state, and in every other state,
too, follow the organization which car
ries the republican electors. The su
preme court has said that we are not the
regular party, and for myself I can't
find any fault with you for adjusting
yourselves to the situation as the court
has fixed it."
Senator Spooner expressed his.disap
pointment over the supreme court deci
sion, but said nothing upon which to
base the belief that he has been cor
rectly quoted in the New York inter
view. He may have grown bitter since
his visit to Chicago, but if this is 'the
case folks here haven't heard about it.
Conference in Chicago.
Last Friday a dozen leading La Fol
lette men were in consultation at Chi
cago headquarters with the national
campaign managers.
The Wisconsin situation was gone
over in detail, and it was agreed all
around that there was nothing in it im
plying even a threat against the presi
dent. The La Follette forces are for
the electoral ticket enthusiastically, and
claim that it will poll thousands of
votes more than the regular state ticket.
These La Follette leaders want the
electors to win out by at least 75,000,
they.say, while they will be satisfied if
La Follette has half that many.
Thus far no signs-can be discovered
that the stalwarts are not going to sup
port the electoral ticket. If they do
support it, the 75,000 plurality may be
considerably exceeded if they do not,
the electors will probably win out by
10,000 more plurality than La Follette
will get. This difference will be ex
plained by democratic support, it being
the intention of a great many Wiscon
sin democrats to vote for Peck and
Roosevelt.

New Ulm, Minn., 6ct. 24.Germanus
Klossner, about 20, was killed and his
brother Edward, aged 25, had one hand
blown off and the other badly lacerated
so that it was necessary to amputate
the thumb and index finger, by the ex

ground where the Tenth and Thirtieth
attalions of artillery were at target
practice near this city.
The boys remar&e^.vjtb General feob

shell apart and see how it was made.
He advised them to throw it in the
river. "When they returned home they
told their parents of their purpose at
the dinnertable and the old folks ad
vised them to let the shell alone, but
Ed, who was the more venturesome of
the two, hastily finished his dinner and
went to the workhouse, where he suc
ceeded in unscrewing the cap. He
then took the parts to the house, where
he gave them to his father, who
emptied the powder, as much of it as
he could," upon a plate.
Finding that the interior of the shell
would not come out, the young man
took it to the shop again and, laying it
on the anvil, proceeded to break it by
striking it with a sledgehammer. As
he was in the act his brother Ger

BLIND CRY OUT FOR FOOD
STATE IS EXPENDING $4,500 FOR
FLOWEES AND SAYS THE FARE
I E GOOD ENOUGH.
Special to The Journal.
Janesville, "Wis., Oct. 24.''Give us
food, not flowers/' is the plea of the
students of the Wisconsin state insti
tution for the blind here.
The state is expending $4,500 for a
hothouse to grow table decorations for
the school, but the boys cared for there
say it would be better were the money
used to improve the table fare.
Ten days, ago twenty-one of the stu
dents signed a petition to the state
board oi control, asking that the qual
ity and quantity of food served them
be improved and increased, as it was
insufficient.
Harvey Clarkfl, a member of the state
board, visited the school and found that
the food was good except for five days,
when there was trouble in the kitchen.
The students say this is false and that
they have to go down town two miles
to get meals. Small boys are alleged
to have cried themselves to sleep from
hunger.
