Review of Former Investigation
Shows Nature of Impend-

By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, July 30.It will be a
matter of interest to grain men in tne
northwest to know just what the lnter
gtate commerce commission is to inves
tigate in the matter of the Union Pa
cific Kailroad company and the Peavey
Elevator company, an investigation
which has been determined upon on the
petition of three of the competing lines
in the Union Pacific's territorythe
Chicago Great Western* the Burlington
and the Santa Fe.
The same subject-matter has been
considered heretofore by the commis
sion and a decision was rendered in
July, 1905, in favor of the Union pa
cific and the Peavey companies, .^hair-
man Knapp wrote the opinion, in the
beginning of which he says that the
commission, acting upon information in
the nature of informal complaint, in
stituted the inquiry on its own motion
to ascertain the facts respecting allow

owners of certain elevators and to de
termine Whether, as is. claimed, tnese
allowances are in violation olaw.

Pacific and the Peavey company was
executed under date of Feb. 7, 18yy,

road company. Its provisions a*e some
what elaborate, but those materialJo
the controversy are, briefly, as follows.
Land Deal Involved,
The railroad company agreed to con

other words, according to Judge
Knapp's decision, the firm is the vir
tual owner of the elevator and the
beneficiary of the contract with the
Union Pacific.
A similar situation exists at Kansas
City, where a similar contract was
made with Peavey. The elevator there
is operated by the Midland Elevator
company, a corporation whose W^i
stock is substantially all owned by the
individual members of the Peavey firm.
The decision states that F. H. pea
vey & Co. appear to have some 45U
country elevators in Minnesota, the Da
kotas, "Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, be
sides elevators at Couneil Bluffs, Kan
sas City, Duluth, Minneapolis and Chi
cago and their business is extensive in
the states named and elsewhere. They
are also large buyers of grain upon the
Union Pacific system. So much of the
grain thus bought as is consigned to
Omaha or Council Bluffs, that is to the
Omaha Elevator company, is bought in
the name of that company that which
is consigned to Kansas City appears to
be bought in the name of the Midland
Elevator company.
"Amounts to a Rebate."
The decision then states that, in view
of these and other related facts, the
charge is made that the arrangement is
preferential and unlawful. This charge
is based upon the claim that the^ con
tract price for transferring gram is
exorbittant and unreasonable, that it
is much greater than the necessary cost
of performing the service and that,
therefore, it has the direct but actual
effect of a prohibited concession to
Peavey & Co., because they are the
shippers of the grain thus transferred
at a profit thru their own elevators.
In the language of one of the briefs
submitted to the commission "the al
lowance of a cent and a quarter per
hundred pounds, paid to the said ele
I vator companies for transferring their
own grain, amounts to a rebate, be
cause it so much reduces the thru pub
lished rate, in favor of said elevator
.companies, but not in favor of other
Shippers.''
In this same brief it is also said that
-''if the allowance be permitted to
stand the other railroads the compet
itive territory must necessarily meet
it in dealing with their patrons, or
11 suffer their patrons and themselves to
'--^.ibe placed at a constant disadvantage,
i^CwAth the tendency of creating in that
territory a grain-buying monopoly in
favor of the Peavey elevators and a
grain haul monopoly in favor of tne
Union Pacific railroad company."

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines. Iowa, July 30.With
supreme indifference the supporters, of
Governor Cummins are today waiting,
for J. W. Biythe to decide whether he
will attempt to kidnap the state in
vention on Wednesday for Mr. Tter
kins. A 1:30 p.m. today the st:)te
committee met to act on a request from
the Perkins management that a tem
porary rollcall be made up, after as
full a hearing as possible of all con
tests. When that committee votes on
what is known as the "fake" contests,
it will be disclosed what is the decision
of Mr. Biythe..
If the opinion of the most expert
observers, those close to the governor
as well as those occupying a more
unbiased attitude, may be relied upon,
if Mr. Biythe is not willing to take
more risks than he ever before as
sumed, then the prediction heard this
morning from many sources, that the
state committee will not carry out the
original Hunter program of throwing
out Cummins delegates on "fake" eon.
tests and giving Perkins control of the
.convention, will be verified.
What It Will Probably Do.
Nobody is willing to make an abso
lute prediction as to what the state
committee will do, for the reason that
nobody knows, except perhaps Mr.
Biythe, and he is. not in the habit of
making announcements. But the prob
ability is that the state committee will
act as follows: Seat the Perkins dele
gations from Wapello, Jefferson and
Jasper counties, where all admit there
are proper contests, and seat the Cum
mins delegations from all counties
where so-called "fakes" were Jasti
tuted.
In support of this, prediction is the
fact first that Congressmen Hull and
Birdsall are on the ground, urging a
real square deal, which means the
abandonment of trumped-up contests.
Other members of congress, it is Baid,
IPrcin Sioux City comes the word that
Congressman Hubbard believes he has
succeeded in diyidinjr the delegation
from Perkins' own county on the ques
tion of dealing with the "bogus con
tests. Besides, some leading standpat
ters are against it, notably W. W. Mor
row of Afton, candidate for state
treasurer..

La Porte, Ind., July 30.Mrs. Fer
dinand Kees, the oldest woman in In
diana and perhaps in the United States,
died here today, aged 112 years. Ac
cording to documents in her possession
she was born in Volgravitz, Poland.in
1794, and after marrying and burying
two husbands in Poland, came to Amer
ica in 1870,: settling at Buffalo, N. Y
where she married Ferdinand Rees.
Later Mr. and Mrs. Rees removed to
La Porte. Her husband died two years
ago.
In 1812, when Napoleon and an army
of 700,000 invaded Russia, she saw
the French emperor. On her deathbed
she recalled vividly the circumstances
of his visit to Volgravitz, which he
devastated. She among otherr escaped
by fleeing into the woods. She at
tributed her long life to her simple
method of living, eating two meals of
corn bread and black coffee daily. She
leaves some property, but there are no
known heirs.

Milwaukee, July SOv^Six o the Mil
waukee men who participated in the
battle with John Dietz at the Cameron
dam last Wednesday, returned home to
day. The seventh member of the par
ty, John Rogich, who was wounded by
John Dietz and his son Charles, is la
a lumber camp.
"Of the whole Dietz family." said
the leader of the party, I think tha
daughter is the most dangerous to a
sheriff bent on making an arrest. She
kept firing from the time the battle
began until it was over, and did /not
once let up except to reload her rifle.
"She paid no attention to our shots,
altho, of course, we were as careful as
possible not to shoot at ker. .We were
In danger any minute of bernfit Killed
by one of her bullets. She is a corker
and no mistake. If it takes a compa
ny of militia to capture the old man,
it will take a regiment of regulars to
arrest' the daughter.
How They Lost Rogich.
"After we retreated, carrying Bo-*f
gich on a stretcher, the report spread
that the* old man was following us. Ws
put Rogich down in the wood* and
scattered in different directions, as we
had no idea which way he would come
from. We were now off his ground
and we determined to shoot to kail if
he molested us. I went in the direc
tion of his Souse, but could find no
trace of him. When I returned there
was no sign of Rogich or she other
"Dietz must Save a large collection
of rifles. He secured RogicS'B gun af
ter we left, and a few days ago Se hap
pened to come across an Indian asleep
by the Blue of the road. S took, his
rifle and ammunition and sent Sim on
his way. We thought our militia suits
would frighten Sim, but they did not.
He is not at all particular about what
kind of a person he picks off with Sis

and he says he was the first one sin

this back to Milwaukee and exhibited
it to his friends. He wore it in high,
sugar-loaf fashion during the batue and
the top of it was nearly torn off by
the bullets. He was close to Dieta^
when the shot was fired, as the powcUW 3
marks are in evidence.
Diets Will Die Hurting. 4
Mr. Hoeft says: I am firnuy jsefs
vinced that John Dietz will never be
taken alive, but will die witS a jrun in
Sis Sands. No one was in sigSt at first,
and we were making preparation to
storm the home, when the old man
walked out. He looked in our direction,
but as we were behind a bush he did
not see us. Further to the right in a
field was Sheriff Gylland. Diets aaw
Sin and rushed into the Souse.
A minute later Sis wife, daughter,
two sons and himself appeared, each
with a rifle, and began shooting at the
