ALTONTO BE IMMUNE If It Has Kept Agreement With the Government. Final Report on Capitol Thievery. Cars Fell From Niagara Bridge. Three In Auto Party Killed Rob ert A. Pinkerton Dropped Dead. Long Ocean Race. If the Chicngo & Alton railroad has kept faith with the government In the deal for immunity on the Standard Oil rebates made with form er District Attorney Morrison observ ance of the agreement will be Insist ed upon by Attorney General Bona parte. The road will receive immunity If it has earned it. If, on the other band, the road has broken the agree ment made with former Attorney Gen eral Moody's consent It will be prose cuted to the limit on the rebate charges. This was announced last week at the department of Justice. In order to get at the exact truth of the situa tion Mr. Bonaparte has called a con ference to meet in Washington this week, which will be attended by District Attorney Sims, former Dis trict Attorney Morrison and Assistant District Attorney Wllkerson. As Mr. Bonaparte understands it, there Is a question as to whether the Alton has furnished the government with all the Information In the Stand ard caso which It said It would. The attorney general has no positive in formation to this effect, but it was hinted at by Judge Landis in his ad dress to the grand Jury in Chicago on Wednesday and the department natur ally wants to know. It la plain, however, that Mr. Bona parte will Insist on the government observing its contract to the letter if the road has done the right thing. Hie is determined that for the effect in future prosecutions the government shall not be charged with breaking faith, even when pledged with a viola tor of the law. The way the immunity deal was worked has just come out. District Alorney Morrison, it was said, had gained large amounts of Information regarding rebating, Involving both the Alton and the Standard. He found that the testimony from one would be necessary to convict the other. Ho Informed the department that without the assistance of the Alton the Stand ard could not be convicted on more than half a dozen counts. As it was desired to assess a great fine against the Standard, the prom ise of immunity was agreed upon by Attorney-General Moody, according to the story. Final Report of Capitol Probers.

The commission says the testimony shows that goods costing $1,574,399 were sold to the state by Sanderson and the Pennsylvania Construction company for $C,434,748. After receiving the report, Governor Stuart said: 'I will transmit the report to the at torney general for his action and I can assure the people of Pennsylvania that there will be a vigorous prosecu tion of every person whom the evi dence may show to have been guilty of any criminal offense in connection with the construction and furnishing ot the state Capitol. "Wherever the evidence submitted shows that there has been any money wrongfully or fraudulently taken from the slate? treasury, civil suits will bo commenced to compel restitution." Attorney General Todd is in Maine but he will return In time to prepare criminal proceedings here in Septem ber.

When his opin ion was asked as to the present de pression of stocks, attributed by prom inent financiers to the administration's anti-corporation policy, he said: "I assume from what I see In the newspapers that the president Is obey ing the oath of office by enforcing the laws. What effect It Is having upon ,the bulls and bears In Wall street I do not know, but I do know that throughout the Middle West the peo ple are so busy preparing to harvest a vnst corn crop, a great wheat crop and the best timothy crop we have had in a decade that if you try to talk politics with them they Bay, 'Let's see, when Is election?' And when you say 'next year' they say, 'Good Lord, there's lots of time to talk poli tics. Come out and help me pitch bay.' "The banks throughout the Middle West have more money than they have ever had before. They do not feel any concern." Erie Machine Shops Burned.

The papers were filed' here In ordei that personal service might be imme diately obtained against a large num ber of labor leaders named In the com plaint who are in Washington In at tendance upon a general conference.

Some di'lver has found In the Hlble what he believes to be a hint of auto mobiles. It Is contained In the story of the vision of Nahiini, the F.lkoshlte, concerning the burden of Nineveh. In the account given by this seer of the military array of the Medea nnd Baby lonians against Nineveh occurs this verse: "The chariots shall rage In the streets, they shall Jostle one against the other tn the broad way, they shnll seem like torches, they slinll run like the lightning." If that doesn't de scribe a street full of motor cars what docs? Then, iigalu, a variaut of the word "Jostle," which the original He brew will, It Is said, bear even better, Is "pass swiftly, without particular purpose, lo ami fro." Isn't that tho automobile habit? SmokhiK a I'lpr. The Cniiiidinn Cigar and Tobacco Journal gives some hints to those who snieke pipes.

Don't crowd the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never get a pipe hot. Keep cool, and keep your pipe cool. You can relight a pipe, nnd If you are an old smoker you will be nil the better for it. When you have finished do not refill a heated pipe." WnxliliiRliin Monument.
