Los Angeles, Cal.—Mme. Helena Modjeska, the famous Polish trage- dienne and one of the most noted act- resses of the American stage, died | April 8 at her island home at Bay City, Orange county, at the age of 65, after an illness of avout two months. Bright's disease, complicated with heart trouble, was the Immediate cause of death. The body will be taken to Los An- geles, where it will be placed in a vault. Later Count DBozenta will take the body to Cracow, Poland, for burial, that city being the early home of Modjeska. Count Bozenta, husband of Mme. Modjeska, because of his political writings was exiled from Poland and Mme. Modjeska was by imperial ukase debarred from the Polish stage. Following the publication of the statements made in a paper read.by Modjeska at the world’s fair in Chi- cago, which statements had to do with Russian-Polish politics and the for- mer ukase of the czar, a further or- der was issued barring Modjeska from Russian possessions.

C.—After three weeks spent in wrangling over duty rates, “insurging’”’ against the rules and spreading verbose speeches over the record, the Republican party in the house of representatives lined up solidly and passed the Payne tariff bill by 217 ayes to 161 nays. But one Republican vote was lost, that of Austin of Tennessee, whose dislike of the coal schedule led him to oppose the entire bill. But his vote was not missed, for three Democrats voted for the bill and one voted pres- ent. These four Democrats were all from Iouisina—Broussard, Estopinal, Pujo and Wickliffe. An dttempt by Champ Clark, the minority leader, to recommit the bill with instructions signally failed. The proposition of Representative list was defeated, 200 to 181. rate on barley was increased to 24 cents a bushel and that on barley malt to 40 cents a bushel.

A separate vote on crude oil was allowed, despite the fact that it had been put on the free list in commit- tee of the whole, and the action of the committe was sustained, though there were 45 votes against it. 1 SWINBURNE iS DEAD Eanious English Writer Succumbs to Pneumonia.

Aberdeen, Miss.—Five persons are known to have been killed, four others injured and still others are buried under the debris of the Illinois Central depot, which was demolished by a tornado, which swept through the city of ‘Aberdeen. The dead—W. C. McMillan, presi dent of the Bank of Aberdeen. C. McMillan, cotton buyer. George Franklin, telegraph operator in the employ of the illinois Central rail- road. Messrs. Ray, King and Wei- burn, also railroad employes. Kokomo, Ind.—A destructive storm struck this region. At Miami the Masonic Temple and several other buildings were partly wrecked by the wind. The farm residence of Mrs. Gammons was blown down and six persons were caught in thewreck and injured. A daughter of Mrs. Gam- mons was killed. Messina.— Theodore Roosevelt and King Victor Emmanuel met on the’ Italian battleship Re Umberto in Messina harbor. The meeting was characterized by the utmost cordiality. The king. took occasion to express the grati- tude of himself and the Italian people for the generous assistance of the American people to the earthquake sufferers. \ At the close of the interview Mr. Roosevelt went ashore and inspected the ruins of the city, the desolation of which moved him strongly. He then boarded the steamer Admiral, which at sunset proceeded on her way to Mombasa. : ‘The Admiral arrived at Messina about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and was saluted by the Re Umberto, with the king on board, which reached here in the morning. Almost immediate- ly, Captain Pfister, the former Ital ian military attache at Washington, and now aide to Admiral Mirabello, was taken to the Admiral in a launch and inquired for Mr. Roosevelt. To him he said the king sent his com- pliments, and would have great pleas- ure in receiving the former President of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt's face lit up with a pleased smile, and accompanied by his son, Kermit, and Ambassador Griscom, he proceeded at once to the battleship. The king met the party at the head of the gangway and he greeted the ex-president effusively, shaking him warmly by the hand. He did not wish, he said, to allow the op- portunity to pass of making the per- sonal acquaintance of so distinguish- ed a man. Above all, he wanted per- sonally te thank the ex-president for the help extended by America at the time of the earthquake. “You are now able,” he added, “to understand better what a terrible disaster fit was.” The crowds followed the American party wherever it went, cheering frequently and shouting, “Viva Amer- regard to the common law. ica: viva Roosevelt”? The people “There is no crime, there can be |were still acclaiming the ex-president no crime at common law under fed- |as climbed aboard his steamer, eral jurisdiction,” was what Mr. Wat- | shouting wishes for a happy journey. son offered as his basic legal proposi- tion. It could not be contended, was an- other contention, that because of the defendant's great capitalization it could be deemed a monopoly. Legal- ly it mattered not whether a man’s profit was 20 or 70 per cent so long as he did not in earning his profit close the avenues of trade against his competitors. There was like- wise, he said, no bar to the acquisi- tion of great wealth under any exist- ing law that he knew of. Another point urged upon the court was that the defendants had the right to produce, transport, refine, market and sell their petroleum products and incidentally to make .all the money they could, a pleasure guaran- teed all citizens under the Constitu- tion, so long as they made no at- tempt to monopolize. Such a thing as monopolization was not, he added, within the purview of the Sherman act, unless it be the unlawful ex- clusion of others from the trade. Real Monopoly Impossible. “If you get 60 per cent of any trade you are bound, nevertheless, to ex- clude someone. Such a thing as real monopoly is impossible. One man may have 90 per cent of the trade in the communuity in May, but who may say he will hold the trade when September and November come?’ declared the Pittsburg law- yer. He also thought the govern- ment was really bound to furnish the same proof in the case at bar that would be required if an indictment ASSERTS RIGHT TO COMBINE Only Point at Issue Is Whether Com- pany Was Violating Law When Action Began. St. Louis—The severe arraignment of the Standard Oil Company by At- torney Kellogg was followed by de- fensive pleas by D. T. Watson of Pittsburg and John G. Milburn of New York. 4 Mr. Watson represented the gov- ernment in the Northern Securities case and is credited with having won that suit for the government. In his interpretation of the decision in that oft-quoted authority Mr. Watson in- sisted that in the present case and that suit two separate and distinct principles of law were involved, and that under no stretch of the imagin- ation could they be identical. The crux of his argument was that the de- fendants could not be held for their conduct of years past, and that the only point the court could consider was whether it was acting in restraint of commerce, engaging in unfair com- petition, or doing any of the many other things alleged on the 15th day of November, 1906, the day the peti- tion in the present case was filed. Watson Asserts Right to Combine. Touching upon the history of the Standard’s past, Mr. Watson claimed Mr. Rockefeller and his associates had the legal right as citizens to com- bine as they did under the 1882 agree- ment, a right denied the two compet- ing roads, not citizens, in the North- ern Securities case. Mr. Watson took sharp issue with the legal views of Government Attorney Kellogg in HUNDREDS LEFT HOMELESS Flames Wine Out Large Portion of Manchester, N. H. Manchester, N. H—A large portion of the tenement house district just south of the business center of this city was wiped out by fire. It de- stroyed about 50 wooden three and four-story buildings. Six hundred men, women and children, mostly Greeks, were made homeless, and the loss is estimated at about $150,000. The flames were driven by a fierce westerly gale through two city squares. Help had to be summoned from Concord, Nashua, Rochester, Dover and Portsmouth, N. H., and from Lowell, Mass. Five companies of the New Hampshire national guard were called out to help the police keep back the crowd. The personal property loss in the district was com- paratively small. The cause of the fire is unknown. TWO BOYS KILLED Incline Car Dashes Down 2,000 Feet and Is Wrecked. Pittsburg.—Two persons were Kill- ed and eight injured at the South Twenty-second street incline. The engineer, Jesse L. Britton, had faint- ed at his post, and this resulted in a wellfilled car dashing down the in- cline and piling up in a wreck at the bottom, making a descent of over 2,000 feet in a few second. Four of the passengers jumped, and of these two were killed. The Dead—Arthur Miller, aged 16, 397 Ormsby avenue, Mt. Oliver, died instantly.

BOYLE Kansas City People Think She Lived There Awhile, Kansas City, Mo.—The woman kid- naper in the Willie Whitla case at Sharon, Pa. lived in Kansas City in the spring and summer of 1907, and was under arrest there. ‘She went under the name of Helen Parker, wife wf Frank A. Parker, who conducted a restaurant at 918 East Twelfth street. Both she and the man who here passed as her husband were ar- rested in the restaurant May 3, 1907, on a charge of forgery. Mrs. Helen Parker Boyle was in the county jail from May 4 to June 17, when the case against her was dropped by the coun- ty prosecutor. The man. Parker, | was released July 12 on bond approv- ed by the late Judge John W. Wof- ford. The woman was instrumental in securing the bail for Parker. Lieutenant Harry HE. Stege, Bertil lon man at police headquarters, was shown the picture of Mrs. Boyle that appeared in the newspapers. He declared that she and Helen Parker were the same persons. Clifford Langdale, city attorney in Kansas City, who was the woman’s attorney when she was in trouble in ‘Kansas City, said: : «I remember Mrs. Parker very well.. There is no doubt in my mind that she and Mrs. Boyle of kidnaping fame are the same woman. She had what might be called a ‘poker face. Noth- ing caused a change of expression. EMMA GOLDMAN ALIEN Deprived With Husband of Citizen- ship Rights. Buffalo.—United States Judge Ha- zel canceled the citizenship papers of Jacob A.

Chambers of Pittsburg.” Korsner it appeared, secured his citizenship in 1884 when he was only 19 years old, and had been in this country only two years, instead of five years, as is required by law. Three years later he married Emma Goldman. WIDOW SUES FOR $10,000 Claims Damages for Death of Hus- band by Fall Down Stairs. Washington, Pa. — Mrs. Elsie A. |for a crime had been returned.

John G. Milburn of New York, the Standard’s chief counsel, asserted the government insisted upon basing its estimates of profit upon the defend- ants’ capitalization and not the book or actual assets. The Standard Oil of Indiana had a capitalization of $1,000,000 but assets of $28,000,000, the lawyer pointed out. If it earned 5 per cent annually on its actual as- sets it would be gaining 100 per cent on the capitalization. The attornev pointed out that the fundamental fallacy in the govern- ment’s position was that it failed in any way to recognize the enormous cumulative effect of compound inter- est. > 3 John V.
