UuV uow- 11 may uve ll,c' HALF RATE TO AFRICA On Oil Shipments Enjoyed by the Standard on All Lines. Senator Borah Acquitted Foraker Scores Alarmists Ambassador Tow er to Resign Swarthmore May De cline Bequests Bills In Thaw Case Held Up Cut Fares In Cleveland. A contract whereby the Standard Oil company obtains from every steam ship company operating between New York and all ports in Africa a rate for the shipment ol lubricating oil which is about one-half what Its competitor, the New York Lubricating Oil com pany, pays was produced in the hear ing of the federal suit against the al leged oil combine. This contract was placed In evi dence and Phillip Harrison, a man ager of the New York Lubricating Oil company, declared that his company was forced to pay double the Standard rate notwithstanding his protests to the steamship companies. Mr. Harrison said that by reason of the freight discrimination the Stand ard could place Its products in Africa at less than the cost price of the oils of his own company, and that to maintain Its African trade the New York Lubricating Oil coripuny was forced to purchase from the Standard the cheaper grade of oils which it sold to Its customers. Mr. Harrison said that shipping charges to his company were steadily Increased from about 21 shillings until they reached 42 shillings 6 pence In 1905. (This Is the English shilling equal to about 24 cents in American money.) The contract which the Standard made on Feb. 10, 190G, with the Hansa, Prince, Houston and American-Africa steamship lines, made the rate to the Standard for oil shipments slightly less than 17 shillings. The witness declared that he wrote a letter to the rteamship agents demanding equitable rates for the company, but no change In the charges was made. W. W.Tarhell of Philadelphia, treas urer of the Pure Oil company and of the United States Pipe Line company, related the difficulties his companies encountered in competition with the Standard. Mr. Tarbell said that the business of the Pure Oil company was placed in districts selected with a view to avoiding business relations with certain railroads, the rate dis criminations of which, he continued, were more feared by the company than the opposition of the Standard in open competition. Mr. Tarbell Is a brother of Miss Ida Tarbell, who has written much about the Standard OH company. Ambassador Tower to Resign. Ambassador Tower has written from Berlin to President Roosevelt asking that he be permitted to retire from the diplomatic service next spring. Mr. Tower's reasons are understood to be that having been abroad for 11 years, he desires again to live In his owd country In order to have a home for his sons, who are now nearly ready to so to Harvard university, and to give his personal attention to his ex tensive financial, mining and railroad Interests that have been left to the supervision of others during his long absence. Mr. Tower's first experience in for eign affairs was as attache at the Spanish court 30 years ago, and during the long Interval between that time and his appointment as American min ister to Vienna In 1897, while active ly concerned in railroads and the iron industry of Minnesota, he found much time to give to the study of foreign pol itics. Foraker Scores Alarmists. Denunciation ' of that pessimism which "emanates from critics of the efforts of the president to enforce the laws of the country and bring offend ers to justice," concluded the address of Senator Foraker before the grain dealers' national convention In Cin cinnati. Senator Foraker reviewed legisla tion ou transportation and rate mat ters und declared that he had "an abiding faith that the waves of hys teria in which we have been engulfed are subsiding." "Only the business men of the coun try can tllrn t'1'8 tide," he said, "and they can turn it only by showing con fidence In each other and In our fu ture. In that behalf It behooves them to frown upon all kinds of pessimism, especially that which emanates from critics of the efforts of the president to enforce the laws of the country and bring offenders to Justice." Senator Borah Acquitted. United States Senator William E. Borah was acquitted at Boise, Idaho, on Wednesday night of the charge of conspiracy to defraud the government of Idaho timber lands. The case was submitted without argument by the defense, and the jury was out just long enough to take one ballot. The verdict was greeted with cheers and applause, which the court officers made no effort to restrain. Street bells were rung and the fire depart ment made a spectacular run through the principal streets, stopping event ually at the Idaho hotel, whither Sen ator Borah, surrounded by several hundred citizens, was escorted. A brass band appeared as If by magic, and as the senator reached the. hotel it played "Hail to the Chief." Captain's License Suspended. Inspector Williams at Evansville, Jnd., has suspended for 90 days the license of the captain of the ateamer Fred Hartweg, as requested by the president. The Incident . which led President Roosevelt to request the suspension, occurred a short distance below Mem phis on Thursday. When the boats composing the flotilla escorting the president left Cairo, the steamer Al ton, carrying the St. Louis delegation, had the position immediately follow ing the Mississippi, with President Roosevelt aboard. The Hartweg, while endeavoring to wrest his position from the Alton, humped Into the president's boat with great force, causing It to veer and roughly jar those aboard, the presi dent being thrown against the wall of his stateroom with considerable force. But. for the pilot on board the MIs isslppl a serious accident might have resulted. Swrrthmore Goes Slow.

Manager Runs Township Government. Is Supervisor and Names Candidates For Clerk and Justice Company Is Liberal In Providing Churches, Schools and Places of Amusement. Calumet, Mich., Oct. 8. The city ol Calumet furnishes a subject of study as Interesting to the sociologist as the mines upon which it Is built offer to the mineralogist. It Is an Illustra tion, If not a demonstration, of the fa miliar theory that an absolute despot Ism, with a benevolent despot, is the best form of government for man. It Is not a municipality; it has no organization cr charter; it has no mayor or common council or other offi cials; but is simply a community composed exclusively of employes of the raining company, which owns all the lands and houses and everything else In sight, and Is administered by the manager of the mines, who Is an absolute autocrat. The township government Is also in his hands. Under the laws of Michi gan each county Is divided Into town ships and each township has a super visor, a clerk and a justice of the peace. Mr. MacNaughton, the man ager of the mines, has held the office of supervisor ever since he has been in his present position; his predeces sor, Mr. Duncan, held the office for 33 years, and nobody objected. ' The clerk and the Justice are nomin ally elected, but Mr. MacNaughton names the candidates. Thus he is re sponsible for the welfare of the 45,000 or more inhabitants, and he governs them with a firm, but generous and liberal policy. There are no saloons or disorderly houses; no liquor Is sold within the limits of Calumet; there Is no gambling; vice Is not tolerated and men who will not obey the rules and keep the pence are driven away. Order is maintained by eight braw ny Scotchmen, whose business Is to Eettle quarrels, to prevent rather than punish crime and vice, to promote the physical welfare of the community and to report to headquarters any wrong that they cannot themselves correct. They avoid making arrestB. When they find a man drunk they take him home quietly. When there's a fight they stop It and send the partici pants away. The justice of the peace has very little to do. The population of Calumet is almost exclusively composed of foreigners. It. Is asserted that 37 different lan guages are spoken on the street and that a considerable number ef the in habitants cannot speak English. There are 30 churches In the city, representing almost every known form of religious worship. Each race and each denomination represented among the mine employes has been given a site and a liberal donation to ward the erection of a church. The management encourages relig ion as the foundation of morality, har mony, industry and progress. It pro vides free schools of the very best grade and of great variety, for the same reason. It Is said that the em ployes of the Calumet and Hecla Min ing company can get any kind of an education they may desire on the ground. There is a manual training school and a technical school at which the company trains its own en gineers and mechanics. The company furnishes a gymnas ium with Instructors in physical cul ture to promote the muscalar develop ment of Its employes, with one of the finest hospitals in existence for the care of the sick and injured, with a model equipment and attending sal aried surgeons from the medical schools of Boston. Free bathhouses stand side by side with a free library with no aid from Mr. Carnegie In which the employes of the company can find newspapers and periodicals and books from every city in Europe in all the languages they speak. Rooms are provided for social clubs and amateur dramatic performances, literary and debating societies singing societies, dancing clubs and for every other form of In tellectual and social amusement. The brass band of the Calumet company claims to be the third, If not the second, In excellence in the Unit ed States. It yields supremacy only to Sousa's and the Marine band at Washington. It took the first prize at an International saengerfest at Milwaukee two years ago and claims to have made much Improvement Fince. The performers wear the cos tume of a miner, with little safety lamps In their hats. They went W Boston not long ago for a series or concerts and made a great hit. The instruments, the music and the uni forms are provided by the company, and the members of the hand receive their regular wages while on concert tours or at rehearsal.

Stamboul, La., Oct. 8. Assistant (Secretary Latta started out early yes f.crday to find the president at his samp In the wilderness, but this morn ing he had not returned.

Before his arrival litre there had been no rain for two weeks and the conditions were unfa vorable for hunting. The breaking of lhj dry twigs gave warning to the Came, while the hard surface was t.rjing upon the feet of the dogs. ijonie of the dogs, the president Is lining were recently so disabled from till? cause that they came near being unfit for his use. But the president's proverbial good luck was with him. A ventle rain was falling when he ar rived at Stamboul Saturday, and there have been two or three showers since. Nor of them has been of great dura tion, but they have well served the purpose of putting the cane brakes In the best possible condition for both man and beast In stalking game. While the atmosphere Is steaming hot between showers, the president Is reported ns showing himself capable of meeting this condition, in so far that neither heat nor rain has been permllted to interfere with the sport. ( The camp ground Is well situated and while on low land Is not in a swamp, the site being comparatively dry. Persons who have seen the tent say it Is well furnished. There Is a plank floor and a wooden wall run ning up four feet from the ground. The table Is liberally supplied with fruits, canned delicacies and fresh venison.
