ST.PAUL AFTER ORIENT TRADE
Milwaukee Officials Go East to Edu
cate Selves, Says Miller.
NEW BID TOR JAP COMMERCE
When l.inc to Paelfle Coast Is torn
. plete Hill and Ilarriman Will
Have Competitor to
Heal With.
"We
are going to educate ourselves,"
A. Miller, general passenger agent
Chicago, St. Paul & Milwaukee
said F.
of the
railroad
when asked why ho and Vice
President J. It. Hlland re making a trip
to Japan, and if It was for the purpose
of studying the orient with a view to com
peting wit it Harriman and Hill for business
when the Milwaukee line to the Puclflc
Is completed. His answer gave the Im
prfBFlon that business conditions would be
Jooked Into with this object In view.
J. If. lliland, vlco president of the Mil
waukee in charge of operation, Mrs. Hlland,
dr. Millar and II. II. Hlland, secretary yo his
father, composed a parly which occupied
a specltil car on the Milwaukee train from
Chicago Friday afternoon. They left over
the t'nlon Pacific for the Pacific .coast
and will slop en route t Denver, Bait
Lake City and will sail from San Francisco
for Japan.
, "Yes, the Milwaukee has lost considerable
business during the last few months, the
same as all other roads, but we are going
to get It back. This Is but a temporary
cessation in business and will not last
long."
That was the way Mr. Miller expressed
his views on the business conditions.
Coast Line Well Managed.
"A horseshoe seems to hang over the
Milwaukee in connection with Its new line
to the Pacific coast, for everything Is
breaking fine and augurs well tor a speedy
completion of the line," he added. "In
the first place the officers of the road
showed their wisdom in providing sufficient
finances for the building of the lino In ad
vance so that when the financial wave
struck the country tho road had plenty of
money In sight to go ahead and build.
And then tha weather has been auspicious
so that work has never stopped. The laying
off of men on other construction work has
given us an abundance of men, the lack of
whtoh was one hindrance to rapid rail
road building all over the country last
summer.
"We will have a real transcontinental
railroad and will enter Into competition
with a vim which will show people we In
tend to get our share of the business. The
Milwaukee line to the coast will be some
thing railroad men will have to figure on
n another year.
"It was a pleasure for the Milwaukee to
be able to give Omaha a new local train
to the east on the first of the year. Mr.
Nash tells me the train Is doing a nice
business and justifies his recommendation
to have It put on."
- Mr. Hlland was slightly Indisposed and
did not come from his car. but the rest of
the party took the opportunity to get some
fresh Nebraska air.

DELCASSE SUMMONS FRANCE
Speech . In Parliament Creates (ireut
Sensation Throughout Nation
Need of l-'lrmness,
PARIS, Jan. r.Y-Tho dramatic iceeh
made In the Chamber of Deputies by M.
Delcasse, who spoke upon foreign affairs
for the first time since his retirement from
the foreign ministry during the crisis of
1905. has proved a veritable sensation in
parliament rlrcies, where It Is regarded as
n trumpet call, summoning France not to
take a backward step In the Moroccan sit
uation. His charge that France, In a
moment of panic, consented to the Alge
clraa conference when In reality Germany
would not have dared to make war upon
It because of its alliances and friendships,
has created a deep Impression throughout
thrt country.
M. Delcasse In his speech particularly
assumed personal credit not only for the
British. Italian and Spanish ententes nlth
France, but for bringing Great Britain
and Russia together.
A portion of the French press Is of the
opinion that M. Pelcasse'a remarks may
bring a humber of surprises, but a major
ity of the newspapers advise prudenct. The
cabinet reconsidered the situation this
morning, but it Is not likely that M. Dcl
casss'a discourse will niter tha decision of
the government to announce on Monday
Its determination to adhere strictly to the
Algeciras convention. Nevertheless tho ut
terances of M. Delcasse will stiffen public
sentiment In favor of more energetic no
tion In Morocco.
M. Juarez, the socialistic leader In tha
Chamber, announced today that on Monday
ho would read In the chamber the letters
he claims to possess which (.rove that the
late Dr. Mauchamp was a secret interme
diary between Mulal Hafld and the French
Foreign office.

SHOW THIER ANTI-TAFT COLOR
Stanton County Man Pronounces All
This Talk nt Fixed Delettatlon
In First District Kllsht
of luiaitlnatlon.
Discussing tho manner in which Stan
ton county selected its delegates to the re
publican state and congressional conven
tions, former State Senator W. W. Young,
who Is visiting in Omaha, said yesterduy
In response to interrogatories:
"An article published recently in tho
World-Herald under the head of Tlie
First Delegation' and another in tho Lin
coln News under the heading of 'Fixing
Things t'p,' havo grossly misrepresented
tlie Hituution in Stanton county and also
my attitude as to tiie selection of the
delegates to tho state and congressional
conventions. A report of tho latter has
been sent to various newspapers through
out Nebraska by tho La Follette bureau
with the request that tt be printed.
"In both these articles I nm represented
as 'rtinulHg tilings' in Stanton county and
heading tho delegation, which was se
lected in a 'high-handed manner.' with
tho Inference that I was Influential In se
lecting these delegates to the various con
ventions. Imaaluallons Work Overtime.
"Tho writers ol both articles reterred to
have simply given flight to tlielr Imag
inations for one of twp purposes either
in the Interest of other candidates for
president than Tuft, or to breed discord
among tho republicans of Stanton county,
where Harmony now prevulla. The sen
timent in our county Is so overwhelm
ingly for Tijft and Ujs real situation with
reference to the selection of delegates Is
so well understood there that neither pur
pose can be accomplished.
"The , Impression Is given In tho two
articles', referred to that I was opposed
to primary elections and that 1 was re
sponsible for the selection of tho dele
gates by the county committee. The fact
Is, I favored the selection of delegates by
a county delegate convention and so ex
pressed myself on the day of their meet
ing toy if r. Denny, a member of the com
mittee, who Incidentally asked me hiH
method I preferred. I then told him that
in my Judgment the best plan would be to
hold a county delegate convention. I did
not even know the committee was to meat
until the day before and Inasmuch as I
am not a member of the committee I, of
course, was not present and had not the
slightest Intimation- In advance that the
delegates would be selected then.
Never Suggested the Course.
"I never directly nor Indirectly suggested
tho course pursued nor any person to be
named as a delegate. All these facta are
well known to I tie committee and tha ie
publicans of bl a litem county. It will be
seeiV from this that I could not possibly
have in any manner Influenced their action.
I have been informed that (he committee
discussed the various plans for selecting
the delegates and decided that Stanton
county, being practically unanimous for
Taft. it would be a useless expense to call
a primary to select delegates and that like
wise ther was no necessity for a county
delegate convention, and they decided

done with perfect harmony.
'Without my knowledge I was made a
delegate to the state convention. It ho
happened that my name whs presented by
Mr. Smithberger, who, himself, is a Hughes
man, and with the knowledge that I wjts
for Taft. 1 have no personal knowledge of
whom the other delegates favor, but havo
heard that they are all for Taft. In fact,
fit my judgment, it would be hard to find
In Stanton county among the republicans a
full delegation that would be against the
nomination of Taft. I know of only two men
in the county who do not favor Tuft mid
these two are for Hughes.
Never Posed as Author.
"In the articles referred to I am styled
as 'a leader' nnd 'a political boss" In my
county. I havo never posed as such, either
at horde or away from home. During my
twenty-five years In Stanton county, I
have always been candid In my expressions
In favor of public policies and public men

FINE FOR REBATERS
(Concinued from First Page.)
evidence did not show from, what source
Thomas obtained his money to mako these
so-called refunds, but In truth and In fact
they were rebates. It Is posslblo and
barely probable that ho obtained tho
money from hla compensation, he
representing ery large clientage, but
while the evidence la not clear nor satis
factory In all details, a Jury could well
find, and was Justified In finding. It was a
fact that the money was obtained from the
railway companies who were favored with
his routing and shipments. I have nd
doubt but such Is the truth, and If such
Is the truth the defendant Thomas was a
mere agency, or in common parlance a
'cat spa w' for tho railway companies."
Case Has Served Its Purpose,
Judge McPherson concluded:
Some days since It was announced that
the defendants did not care to prolong the
content, but would chajige their pleas from
not guilty to pleas o( guilty. This court
believes that it Is its duty by reason of
the foregoing facts to show them consid
eration and eliminate the Imprisonment
feature, Imposing, however, substantial
fines.
In view of tho entire situation and of
all the foregoing facts, and In the full
belief that the vicious praetlso of these
defendants and the payments of rebates
have been stopped and in the hrVf tKat
the practice of rebating generally over the
country has been brought to an end by
the vigorous action of the government
through the office of tho United States at
torney of this district as well as other
districts there Is no occasion for tho order
of Imprisonment. ;
The fine Imposed upon Thomas
today was $1,000 heavier than that Im
posed two years ago, while tlie fino as
sessed against Taggart was tho sam
amount as previously.
Judge Mcpherson took occasion to say
that he believed the firms that accepted
the rebates wero us guilty us the defend
ants and the railroads, and that he had
never been able to understand why they
had not been Indicted by the grand Jury.
He would have liked, he said, to have had
the members of these firms before him to
day with power to pass sentence upon
them.
"The railroads," declared tlie Judge, are
hounded to death with rebate seekers.
They are not entirely to blame for all tlie
rebating that has Ijeen done."
