Chicago dispatch: Ten days of work by the federal grand jury cul­ minated In the return of indictments against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, Darius Miller, first vice-president, and Claude G. Burn- ham, foreign traffic manager, on the charge of granting rebates to the Unit­ ed States Steel Products Export com­ pany, one of the subsidiary shipping companies of the United States Steel corporation. The rebates are said to have amounted to 30 per cent. Twenty-six counts are alleged in the indictment, each covering a specific violation of the Elkins law since March, 1905. For each of the alleged offenses the Elkins act provides, in case of conviction, a fine of -from $1,- 000 to $20,000. There is no provision for imprisonment. The bonds of the three defendants were fixed by Judge Bethea at $5,000 each. The grand jury then was dis­ charged froim further service. The indictments charge that the re­ bates we^ granted on shipments of tinplate to Vancouver, British Colum­ bia; from mills of the United States Steel corporation, located at Pitts­ burg, Cleveland, Joliet, Newcastle, Pa., Martin's Ferry, O., and Elwood, Ind., - These shipments were handled by the Burlington from Chicago to St Paul, where the Northern Pacific also implicated in the indictments, completed the haul to the coast. Full freight was paid to the Bur­ lington for the entire haul, but the railroad, according to the indictment, afterwards repaid 30 per cent of It and charged the Northern Pacific with its share of the refund. The latter road is not in this judi* clal district, and therefore was not in­ dicted, though there is said to be every likelihood that the department of just-ce will request the St. Paul authorities to take action. This is the second .attack which the federal authorities have directed against the methods of the Burling­ ton, similar indictments having been returned in Kansas City for rebates said to have been granted a local dry goods house. : Combine Gives Evidence. Most of the evidence in this case is furnished by the steel combine itself--prothpted by the desire to se­ cure "immunity"--T. P. Alder, presi­ dent of the United States Steel Prod­ ucts Export company of New York, being the chief witness. The grand jury had a chance to hear both sides, however, as it subpoenaed L. F. Moore, freight claim agent of the Bur­ lington, and G. W. Perry, foreign traf­ fic agent of the Northern Pacific rail­ road. I don't care to discuss the indict­ ment," said Vice-President Miller. "It seems to accord with the policy of the administration, 'square deal' and all. don't know anything about the facts alleged, but I know enough about the workings of the traffic department of this road to know that the case should be fought and fought hard." Mr. Miller has gone through James Hill's "school" as second vice-presi­ dent of the Great Northern railroad, where he was regarded for five years as Hill's most trusted lieutenant. He left the latter's service in 1903 to assume charge of the traffic depart­ ment of the Burlington. Claude G. Burnham, foreign traffic agent, was as noncommittal as Mr. Miller, while L. F. Moore, the freight claim agent who spent three days be­ fore the federal grand jury, declined to discuss the indictments In any way. This is the second' indictment re­ turned in this judicial district against railroads for granting rebates. The Chicago and Alton railroad and two of its former officials ware indicted some weeks ago. \ C Robert R.

La Follette Become! Senator, Vyhile D§jqd|jon Advanced v. MADDEN PUZZLE PIOTUtlE Yh#*J. 1 . . ^ • EXECUTIVE WAS A FARMER BOY Walked the Streets of Madison Thl Year* Ago Without a Cent Pocket, but Works HI* Way Top Rung. Madison, Wis., Jan. 2.--A man who thirty years ago walked the streets of Madison, a penniless stranger, was in­ augurated governor of the state ot Wisconsin Monday. By the resigna-c Uon of Robert M. La Follette to accept the United States senatorshlp, Lieut. Gov. James O. Davidson of Soldiers Grove takes his place. Mrs. La Follette and Mrs. Davidson^ and her two daughters, the Misses' Mabel and Grace Davidson, were pres-. ent and joined the ex-governor in heartily congratulating his successor. An informal reception followed in the executive chamber and another public one was held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in the capltol, when hun> 3 reds of citizens called to congratulate the new executive, who also received 3cores of telegrams extending N6W Fear greetings and felicitations. Works Way to Top; Mr. Davidson, the new governor, was born in Gogn, Norway, on Feb. 10, 1854. He came to America at the age of 19, worked for a time on farms and as a tailor, ffnally started a gen­ eral store at Soldiers Grove, Crawford county, and has been in the mercantile business since 1877. He was an as­ semblyman for six years, state treas­ urer for four, and has been lieutenant governor for tbree years. Attention first was drawn to him when as assemblyman he succeeded after many defeats in putting through bills increasing the taxation of sleep­ ing car, express companies, and other corporations. While Mr. Davidson has not. an­ nounced his candidacy his friends gen­ erally expect him to do so shortly. Al­ though the relations between La Fol­ lette and Davidson are cordial, the senator has thrown his influence toward Speaker Irvine L. Lenroot of Superior, who came out some months ago. New Governor Is Popular. However, Davidson is well known and popular, and with the prestige of precedent in matters of re-election may be powerful enough to defeat Le^nroot. Lenroot is the same type of man as La Follette. His campaign will be along the same lines of those of the outgoing governor. He will insist on the regulation of corporations and the strengthening and enforcing of the laws now on the books. Senator La Follette left for Wash­ ington at 8 o'clock this morning ac­ companied by Mrs. La Follette. Mrs. La Follette will remain in Washing­ ton until May and then will return to taVo up her residence in the new country home at Maple Bluff, three miles east of Madison. Their three children will be left with two maids at the Hillside Home school . near Spring Green. GILHOOLEY TRIAL 18 ENDED- Minnesota Supreme Court Holds That It Is Constitutional.

They will all go to the peni­ tentiary. The verdict of their guilt, reached after the jury had been clos­ eted a little more than six hours, marked the end of the famous Gil- hooley trial, famous until now because of its duration, but, in the view of the state's attorney, destined to become memorable as the opening of a new ra of the enforcement of law against violence as a handmaiden of strikes. One of the eight defendants left in the case, Frank Novak, whose participa­ tion in the conspiracy was doubted by the Jury, was acquitted. The others-- the sluggers who attacked Chris J. Carlstrom April 13 and the men who hired them--face imprisonment. The slugger, Gilhooley, may have to Berve ten years in all.

CURRICULUM IS UNATTRACTIVE Missjof 16 Is at Least Two Years More Mature Than Lad of Same Age, Yet Both Are Compelled to Recite in Same Class. Springfield, 111., dispatch: "Nearly all our co-educational institut ions are girls' (Schools," was the startling dec­ laration of Dr. James E. Armstrong, f principal -of the Englewood High school, Chicago, in an address during the closing hours of the Illinois Teach­ ers' convention Thursday. In view of the fact that Dr. Armstrong is one of the best known educators in the state, his words caused a profounri sensa­ tion. The matter was the principal topic of discussion so far as *o render the convention peculiarly blase to the deft coup ot the Teachers' Federation. That organization Ingeniously secured the election of its president, Miss Har­ riet Treadwell, to the second vice presidency of the association before it was realized what had been done. While defiantly asserting that the present high school curriculum Is driving the lazy boy to work and the girl into nervous prostration," Dr. Armstrong came out flatly in favor of equalizing the number of men and women teachers in the public schools, a statement that was strangely coinci­ dent with the election circumstance which followed his conclusion. "More women teachers" is one of the slogans of the federation. Boys' Schools Are Needed. Armed with voluminous reports and statistics, Dr. Armstrong hurled volley after volley of criticism at prevailing systems. We frequently are called to ac­ count for not, holding more of the boys In our high schools," declared Dr. Armstrong. "But the truth is, we have never had them to hold. Other inter­ ests have held them away from us. Tlib question might better be, 'Why do you not attract more of the boys to the high school?' In my opinion, we need to make some boys' schools. Nearly all our co-educational Institutions are girls' schools. A girl of 16 is at least two years more mature than the boy of the same age, yet the system, quite unintentionally, puts them In the same grasp, to pursue studies -under the same instruction. Some one asks if we would have 'female algebra' and 'female history,' and suggests that the next demand will be for 'female pickles,' In my opinion, we now have nothing else but female' studies." Dr. Armstrong said he did not ad­ vise separate schools, W separate rec­ itations. Economy, he said, was the only reason for keeping the sexes to­ gether.' He also referred to the report of the National Educational associa­ tion on salaries and pensions, which shows that 85 per cent of the high school teachers are men and 65 per cent women. He did not ask for a re­ versal of the percentage, lKit declared that the number should be equal. Election Is Hurried.

Directors--Miss Agnes Hardinge, Chicago; Anna Rogers Parr, Tuscola; E. A. Gardner, Paxton; H. A. Hollis- ter, Champaign, and Morris Mudd, Chester. Football Is Denounced'. Among the resolutions passed by the convention, one virtually denouncing football was adopted as follows: "Resolved, That while favoring ath­ letics as a means to the attainment of ends that can be reached in no other way, we deprecate the abuses that have grown up in connection there­ with, and demand, not only their ref­ ormation, but aiso such revision of the rules as shall eradicate the present possibilities of viciousness and of in­ jury." Other resolutions favored making the city superintendency an "exec­ utive" office, and "that the state two- mill tax should be levied instead of the >$1,000,000 in lieu of the two-mill tax usually substituted by leglsla-" tures." 1 HIGHWAYMEN ROB PAYMASTER Force Him to Give up $3,000 at Points of Revolvers. New Brunswick, N. J., dispatch: Armed men are searching the woods near here for five robbers who stole a satchel containing $3,000 in. cash Thursday.

St Louis, Mo., special: After a di­ vision of almost 100 years, arrange­ ments were completed Friday In the joint session of general committees which, when formally ratified, will smite the Northern Presbyterian md the Cumberland Presbyterian ihurches. Almost two days were consumed 1»y subcommittees In arranging details tor the union. Their reports were sub­ mitted to the general committees rep­ resenting each church. Within two liours the two general committees had met, in joint session and' agreed upon 1 basis for thie union of the two de­ nominational bodies. - This agreement will be reported to the general assembly of the Presbyte­ rian church, meeting at Des Moines, [a., on May 17, 1906, and of the Cum­ berland Presbyterian church, meeting In Decatur, 111., on the same date, for formal ratification by these two execu­ tive assemblies, which will be fol­ lowed by the official announcement that the union of the two churches has been accomplished. The general committee of the Cum­ berland Presbyterian church had its full quota of twenty-one membera present, the chairman being the Rev*. Dr. W. H. Black of Marshall, Mo. Only sixteen of the twenty-one mem­ bers of the Presbyterian general com­ mittee were present. The Rev. W. H. Roberts of Philadelphia was chairtnan. On the joint ballot on the question of the proposed union there was but one dissenting vote, that being cast by Elder T. W. Keller of Knoxvllle, Tenn., a member of t}ie Cumberland committee. He was the only one ot seven who originally were opposed to. the proposition who held out. The committee's report, after care­ fully reviewing several similar efforts for a union of the two churches, re­ cites the legal steps taken, beginning with the appointment of committees in 1903, and declares that the effect of all thfse steps is primarily that the confession of faith of the Presby­ terian fehurch, U. S. A., as revised in 1903, and the other doctrinal and ec­ clesiastical standards of that church have been adopted by the Cumberland Presbyterian church, as has also the joint report prepared by these two general committees. two years ago, It Is recommended that immediate­ ly after the steps thus far taken have been announced the confession of faith and the other doctrinal and eo- lesiastical standards of the Presby­ terian church, U. S. A., shall be bind­ ing upon the ministers, ruling elders, deacons, officers, churches, adjudicat- 3rs, boards, committees, and all other agencies of the Cumberland Presby­ terian church. All of the Presbyterians of the two churches will elect commissioners to the united general assembly of 1907 on a basis of one minister and one ruling elder for every twenty-four ministers or moiety thereof. Until the new moderator of the united as­ sembly is elected the moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly will preside over the united general assem­ bly of 1907. It Is recommended that the modem* tor of the Cumberland Presbyterian assembly of 1906 shall preach the opening sermon of the united gener­ al assembly of 1907, the stated clerk of the Presbyterian assembly, with the assistance of the stated clerk of the Cumberland Presbyterian assem­ bly, making up the roll of the united assembly. The history and records of bQtfe churches will be preserved as those of the united church. It is provided that all boards, cam- mittees, trustees, and other agencies of the Cumberland Presbyterlaii church that hitherto have been re­ quired to report to the general as­ sembly of that church shall report to the united assembly in 1907 and there-, after, unless these boards and other Institutions shall be united with sim­ ilar existing Presbyterian organisa­ tions. All other details as to property rights of boards, colleges, etc., the question of recommending the place of meeting of the united assembly, suggestions as to Presbyterian and synodical names and lines and other adjustments that may become neces­ sary, were referred by the general committees to their subcommittees for further consideration and final re­ port to the two general assemblies meeting in Decatur and Des Moines next May.
