Announcement of Action by At
torney General Moody.
Arrested For Wife Murder Cornell
Took Two Races Analysis of Coun
try's Foreign Trade Barnet Con
firmed Congress Declares For Loch
Canal Norway's Rulers Crowned.
Formal announcement of the pur
pose of the government to prosecute
the Standard Oil company was made
by Attorney General Moody.
It appears from his statement that
the proceedings in the first Instance
will be had under the terms of. the
Elklns law, which prohibits rebates In
Interstate commerce.
The attorney general, however,
gives notice that in all probability,
should the investigation he still If
making Justify It, he will bring furth
er action against the Standard Oil
company under the terms of the Sher
man anti-trust law, and also will take
steps to ensure against the continu
ance on the part of the company ot
discriminations in trade and trans
portation not now subject to prosecu
tion under existing law, but especially
provided against In tho pending rate
bill.
Threw His Wife In the Canal.

fession of his crime to the local police,
William Brasch of Rochester, N. Y.,
was arrested In Cleveland Friday.

Mary Gllmoiir, with whom he Is al
leged to have eloped.
The body of Unison's wife was found

picion was at once turned to her hus
band, who disappeared.
The 3-year-old daughter of Brasch
was with the couple when they were
arrested In a rooming house. Both
Brasch and the woman have been
taken bnck to Rochester.
Guilt to Be Sought Higher Up.
Answering Interpellations on the
subject in the Russian parliament
Thursday, Interior Minister Stolypln
admitted that the subordinates ot the
Interior and police departments were
guilty In individual cases of organiz
ing anti-Jewish outbreaks. Prince
Uruseft said the guilt must be sought
"higher up," pointing to General Trep
off. When Minister Stolypln tried
to reply, ho was repeatedly interrupt
ed by cat calls and cries of "enough."
The disorder became so great finally
that the sitting was closed for an
hour. When the session was resumed
It was voted to postpone further dis
cussion of M. Stolypin's speech.
Cornell Took Two Races.
There was no triple triumph for
Cornell In the Intercollegiate boat
races on the Hudson river at Pough
keepsie Saturday, but Courtney's men
twice were victorious in the regatta.
The four-oared and elght-oared 'vars
ity races went to the Ithacans, the
freshman race to Syracuse. The
freshman race was the finest struggle
the Hudson has seen in years. The
'varsity failed only by a little of being
the same. In the four-oared race the
quartet of Cornelllans romped home
first.
Not one of the races was fast, the
conditions being unfavorable.

To Omit Money Plank In 1908.
The Commoner, published at Lin
soln, In an editorial reference to the
Democratic platform of 189C and the
one of 1908, says that "ancient ani
mosities should not be aroused or fac
tional controversy encouraged. The
Democratic platform of 189G represent
ed, as it does today, the real conserva
tism of the country. The money ques
tion will not be discussed In detail
again, but the Democratic platform fot
1908 will be written In the same spirit
which controlled the men who drafted
the largely vindicated declaration ol
189G."
Norway's Sovereigns Crowned.
With a ceremonial modified from the
old Norse forms to meet the modenn
democratic spirit of the country,
King Haakon VII and Queen Maud,

anointed, blessed and given Norway's
crowns. When, nearly 40 years ago,
King Oscar of Sweden received the

clesiastics crossed it with sacred oils,

tire rite was simpler.

WORK Or FIRST SESSION
Meat Inspection and Rail Rate
Bills Will Soon Be Laws.
Denatured Alcohol to Be Untaxed.
One and Perhaps Two States Added.
Preservation of Niagara Biggest
Battleship Afloat Authorized Limil
to Continuous Work of Railway Men.
Important measures extending fed
eral regulation have been enacted at
first session of the 59th congress now
rapidly drawing to a close. Tho rail
rad rate and the meat inspection bills
will soon become laws and before ad
journment of congress both hoiuas
will have passed pure food bills which
though dissimilar In terms, are both
based on the same principle of federa
control.
The present session has also adleO
one and perhaps two states to the un
ion, and by so doing has disposed ol
four territories.
Great Results From Free Alcohol.
Great results to the people are ex
pected from the removal of the tax ot
denatured alcohol. If the predictions
ore fulfillled, heat, light and powoi
are to be supplied by alcohol made
from the cornfields of the country
from sugar beets and sugar cane, from
fruits and other vegetation.
The president has been empowered
to dig a lock canal as fast ns he
pleases. A joint resolution wan
agreed to requiring the canal suppllus
to made of American manufacture.
Although there has been au viiort
to prevent the enlargemou': of whet is
known as the "permanant annual ap
propriations," this character of ex
pense has increased during tho ses
sion to the extent of nearly $5,000,000,
making a total permanent annual ap
propriation of more than $140,000,000.
Employers' Liability Bill.
Organized labor has succeeded in Its
requests of the present session of con
gress to the extent of securing the
enactment of what Is known as the
"employers' liability bill." This enact
ment will make It possible for an em
ploye to secure damages for his In
jury, notwithstanding his own negli
gence may have been in part respon
sible for that Injury.
Another bill which has received the
approval of the senate and will doubt
less become a law before the end of
the session is that limiting the hours
of continuous service of railway train
men to 16 consecutive hours work, to
be followed by ten hours rest.
Preservation of Niagara.
One of the novel features of law
making was the enactment of a mea
sure to preserve the scenic beauty of
Niagara Falls. This action was in
direct response to a popular demand
that the falls be not denuded of their
beauty to serve the purpose of com
merce which seemed to demand the
transformation of the great cataract
Into a series of unornamental canals
and power stations. The legislation
was difficult to frame, but once set pn
foot found no opposition In either
house. It was perfected In the home
committee on river and harbors under
the guidance of Chairman Burton, who
Introduced the bill.
Enthusiasts for the "greater navy"
regard the legislation of the session
as inimical to proper growth of that
arm of the fighting force. Congress
authorized the construction of the
"biggest battleship afloat," but wllh
the provision that before plans are sub
mitted or bids received or accepted
the plans of the ship must be submit
ted to congress nt Its next session.
Alaska was given the right to send
a delegate to congress and an act was
passed wJiereby that territory will
have a larger school and public im
provement fund.
Immunity For Witness Defined.
Ten bills relating to the establish
ment of additional courts, etc., were
passed. The important measure rela
tive to court mntters is that which
prescribes the exact procedure which
must be followed by witnesses to se
cure Immunity from prosecution later.
This law prescribes an exact proce
dure to be followed in cases where
the government undertakes to gain in
formation to be used later In proced
ure and Is Intended to give full under
standing to the witness nnd party
seeking Information regarding the sub
ject of immunity. '
Tho private pension legislation of
the session was heavy and many hun
dred acts will be signed before tho end
comes.
Too Many Johnsons; Asks Aid.
Topeka, Kan., June 20. Tho post
master at IJudsliorg will ask the de
partment for extra clerks because of
the prevalence of families named
Johnson, Anderson, Peterson and
Swenson which receive mall. There
are 219 Johnsons, 1"1 Andersons, 87
Swtnsons, 99 Petersons and numerous
Olsons. Their children tie up the
office by asking "Any mail for Ander
son?" or "Any mail for Johnson?" Tho
question "which Anderson" or "which
Johnson" must be put to every child
inquirer, and this, in the opinion of
the postmaster, makes necessary the
service of extra clerks.

Seized by Six Foot Fish.
Pittsburg, June 2C Sunday after
noon, while a crowd of boys were
swimming In the Allegheny river, ofl
the Patterson coal float at the Pitts

Immense fish, which was afterward dls
covered to be a sturgeon, appeared
among them. There was a scramble
among the lads for places of safety.
All the boys got back to the coal
float except William Wlederselm, 1(1
years old, of Allegheny. Just ns hs
was about to pull himself upon the coal
float the fish sank Its teeth into the
calf of the lad's right leg.
The boy was being dragged under
water when his screams brought Ja
cob Miller, watchman of the coal float,
to the rescue. He seized the boy's
arm and with a baseball bat which
was lying on the float beat the fish
over the head. Even after life was
extinct the fish still hung to the boy's
leg, and its Jaws had to be pried
apart before the boy was released.
The fish measured six feet in length
and weighed 89 pounds.

Government Lawyers Will Considei
Advisability of Conspiracy Charge.
Philadelphia, June 26. Plans will b
completed in New York this week fot
the prosecutions that are to he
brought by the government ugainsl
the Pennsylvania railroad and the
Standard Oil company. Alexander

dent of the Pennsylvania. It Is be
lieved that more effective results can

ecution upon Cassatt than by scatter
ing the government energies.
The charge to be made by the gov
ernment will be conspiracy. The law
yers say that facts brought out In the
investigation of relations among the
railroads, the Standard Oil company
and favored coal companies can only
he explained on the grounds of a pri
vate understanding.
