CUTS RATE FROM CHICAGO TO
SEATTLE EXPOSmOX.
Surprises Other AVestern Lines
Xot Awaiting Agreement and
Thus Jars Harmony.
by
CHICAGO. Jan. 8. (Special.) Trouble
Is brewing among; the Western railroads
over the rates to the Alaska-Yukon Ex
position, which will be held In Seattle
this year. Today the Burlington road
caused burprlse among its competitors
bv Quoting a rate of S62 for the round
trip from Chicago. In this connection
the Burlington has stolen a march on
the other roads, which were waiting for
a general agreement among the lines of
the Transcontinental Passenger Associa
tion as to what the rate should be from
Chicago.
Although there Is no legal reason why
the Burlington should not act indepen
dently and quote any rate it sees fit, its
action is contrary to that customarily
taken. Other Western roads are now
charging that the northern connections
of the Burlington have been quoting, a
$62 rate for several weeks, despite? the
fact that only tho rate from the Mis
souri River and from the Twin Cities
had been agreed upon, the rate being f.T0.
Representatives of other Western roads
declare that, if the Burlington purposes
taking independent action before rate
matters have been considered by the as
sociation, it will mean a serious break
In the harmonious relations existing
among Western roads.
COUNSEL , 0N FISHERIES
Turner Chosen to Represent United
States in Arbitration.
SPOKANE, Jan. 8. A Washington spe
cial to the Spokesman-Review says:
Secretary Root has engaged ex-Senator
George? Turner, of Spokane; Lewis S. Dab
ney, of Boston, Mr. Lansing, of New York,
and Dr. John Brown Scott to serve as
American counsel rjefore The Hague Tri
bunal, which is to arbitrate the long
standing fisheries dispute between this
country and Great Britain growing out
of the treaty of 1S18. It Is thought here
that the case will go to arbitration be
fore a commission of five or seven mem
bers of the tribunal at The Hague next
Bummer.
The selection of Mr. Turner grew out
of Mr. Root's association with the Spo
kane man when the two, with Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, served as the
American members of the court of arbi
tration which, sitting in London, settled
the Alaska boundary dispute between the
United States and Great Britain.

Indiana Legislature Likely to

SLACK NOW SECOND CHOICE
Caucus Wednesday Xight Will De
cide Indiana Senatorial Race,
After Which Legislative Busi
ness Will Be Hurried.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 8. (Spe
cial.) Though the outlook in the Sena
torial race Is dlcldedly in favor of John
W. Kern, who was Bryan's running mate
in the recent campaign, so many of the
Democratic members of the Legislature
are noncommittal that all of the can
didates are claiming the nomination.,
Some members who are for other candi
dates concede their constituency are for
Kern, others who live in the Congres
sional districts of the opposing candi
dates arc for Kern personally, but Re
lieve it would be bad policy to support
a man outside of their own districts.
It will require but 42 votes to nominate,
and as more than a do.ten are repre
sented in the classes referred to, there
Is yet considerable doubt as to what the
caucus may finally do. The only thing
certain Is that Kern will be the leading
candidate on the first ballot and that
Slack will be second. Both are play
ing for the votes of other candidates,
with Kern being second choice of a ma
jority of those in Northern Indiana, while
Slack seeems to be second choice of the
members from the southei,i part of the
state. The caucus has been called to
meet on Wednesday night through a sug
gestion of Governor-elect Marshall, who
la anxious for the Legislature to get
down to business as soon as possible.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. "E. H. Harriman
wants control of the waterfront in San

other things. In fact, he wants control

Exercise. "
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. S. (Special.)
With the thermometer stuck some It de
grees below the freezing point, wi'.h
Wintry blasts blowing across the waters,
snowflakes swirling around in the most
disagreeable manner, Thomas B. Mac
Mahon, lawyer, nature pal and demon
cold weather swimmer, plunged tito
Puget Sound off West Seattle this after
noon, and for 15 minutes sported around
in the briny deep, caring naught for the
elements that made mere men ashore
chatteringly wish for a warmer clime.
Mr. MacMahon really believes in play
ing tag with nature and insists on telling
his friends what a good thing it is for
mankind. When the Summer days were
here one time he gave a dissertation
upon this patting nature on the back
and tickling her under the chin at all
seasons of the year.
This morning, when the snow was fly-
ing the thickest, when the wind was
blowing its worst and the thermometer
was down to its lo!cst, MacMahon went
swimming. When Mr. MacMahon had
emerged from the water and had donned
his street clothing, he explained that he
was 40 years old and that he had been
going in swimming the year around all
his life, and believed that this was tho
most healthful and, when one got used
to it, the most agreeable manner of liv
ing. "
