STANTON HURLS A BOMB
Creates CONSERVATION Among
Railroad Commissioners
DENOUNCES THE RAILWAY
Demands Immediate Grain Rate Reduc.
ton
And nore to Follow If Needed to Effect Her.
izontaI Cut of Twenty-Five
Per Cent

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRAN CISCO. Sept. THE rail-
road commission surprise came today
when &c m missioner Stanton subm tilted a
communication to the board ana fol-
lowed it with resolution. 1t came as
nm apparently clean change OF front, and
it is question whether Stanton's col
leagues, the representatives, of the rail-
road or interested spectators were the
most umbfounded.
The railroad evidently had no intima-
tion of Stanton's purpose. When it had
concluded its case shortly after noon
Stanton handed twenty pages of closely
written legal cap to the secretary to be
read. The usual legal phraseology was
followed by denunciation of the rail
road in scathing terms. 1t was an
noanced that its affairs were purposeiy
10 complicated that nothing of definite
nature could be learned. The fact that
a corporation owning not mile of track
and organized under the laws of a distant
state was dwelt upon with more than in
ferentiai emphasis. The original cost OF
the road was cecared to be a pretended
one, the funded indebtedness an excessive
amount and the statements presented by
the railroads representatives were dis
credited. Commissioner Stanton de-
clared that his original purpose to vote
against theshoriZontal reduction had been
changed. He favored % per cent re-
duction in rates, but desired this to be
equitably distributed, and based for an
Immediate reduction in grain rates of 8
per cent, to be followed by a heavier re-
duction should this be found insufficient
to make up the % per cent average when
reductions had been made on other COM
modIties.
The purposes of his communication
were clearly set forth IN resolution en-
bodying the proposed reductions which
followed.
Commissioner Clark followed Stanton
with a communication referring to the
Larue resolution, but he made verbal
amendment declaring that it did not ap-
ply to that presented by Stanton.
The railway representatives SAID moth
ing.
Stanton asked for an immediate vote
on his resolution. Larue desired to have
time to consider it, and he and CLARK
voted to postpone action until next
Thursday. Larue declared that Stanton's
amendment seemed proper, but that it
contained so much that could not be
clearly understood at single reading
that he asked for time to digest its con-
tents. Stanton voted no against an ex-
tension of time.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. fudge l..
d. Mckisick, special counsel for the
United States in its SIS 900, 600 salt
against Mrs. Jane L. Stanford. has COM
pleted his argument and brief for the
United States circuit court of appeals. +.
The document consisted of 1893 closely
printed pages, and the argument in the
United State, circuit court of appeals on
the 18th inst. will probably attract ma
tional attention. If the government wins
the suit 1t will in manner interfere with
the bequest OF Governor Stanford to the
university, and according to the invent
DRY Mrs. Stanford will still have an estate
of from IS, QUO. 900 to $4,000. 900. Governor
Stanford's bequest to the university was
81, 500, 600, while the estate was appraised,
aside from that bequest. at SO, 100 900,
and if the government wins its SIS, 0OO
900 suit Mrs. Stanford will have So, 000,-
600 remaining.
The governments suit was originally
filed on March 18th. and after an elabor.
ate argument by Judge McKisick on be-
hall OF the government and by judge
CARRIER for Mrs. Stanford, United Safes
Circuit Judge Ross sustained the defense's
demurrer to the complaint. And the
case IS now on appeal from Judge Ross
decision.
Judge McKisick's argument and brief
controvert every proposition enunciated
by Judge Ross, and cites opinions of the
supreme court of the United States and OF
California in support of every position
assumed by the United States. 1t is par
ticulary set forth that Judge Ross erred
in his Interpretation os the contract be-
tween complainants and the railroad cor
poratin and in following the loose dictum
of the supreme court of California.
The theory held by Judge Ross was
that there was no provision of law under
which plaintiff could recover

ATTORNEYS TAKE A REST
Durrant Case Put Over TO Tuesday
Next
The Accused Probably Has No Sensational
Evidence to Produce in His Defense.
Spectators on the Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. THE attor-
neys engaged in the trial of Theodore
Durrant will now have a breathing spell
until Tuesday. and in the meantime
every effort will be made by both sides
to strengthen their respective cases. Ac-
cording to the present programme of the
attorneys, the trial will be held on only
three days of next week. 1t is the pur-
pose of those concerned to adjourn next
Thursday until the following Monday.
This is a concession to the defense.
There is very little question now that
the defense has nothing of startling ma.
ture to introduce. Durrant has no SEN
sations to spring. He will claim that
he was at DR.. Cheneys lecture and will
produce notes to prove his assertion.
Graham will show how eagerly he wanted
these notes, and absolute proof is availa-
BILE that a representative of the defense
made copy of Glascr's notes which
were left in the police court.
Durrant will have very little m ore to
attempt. He may venture to say that he
walked home from the college to the
church. and it is within the range of
possibility that he will produce some one
who will swear that he saw him. The
prosecution will have something to say
on that score.
1t will place upon the stand one of
Durrant's classmates, who will swear
that Durrant asked him if he did not re-
mem ber talking to him on the afternoon
of April near the college. At first the
young man thought he had done so. but
further reflection convinced him that he
did not. and Durrant was so informed.
One of the strong points of Durrant's
defense will be an attack upon the police,
no in any particular phase, but upon
general principles.
Henry ]. Sha.mopt is to be one of the
most interesting witnesses who will be
placed on the stand by the prosecutors of
Durrant. AS already explained, the
prosecution will endeavor to trace in
Theodore Durrsht and Blanche Lamont
for day which, however, one may view
it, was fatal one for both.
When the tiresome preliminaries have
been finished Shalmont will take the wit
ness stand to give dramatic interest to
the trial 1t was be who first saw
Blanche Lamont and Theodore Durrant
together on that day Durrant and Miss
Lamont rode together on the car of which
he was conductor on the day of the MUIR
der. Miss Lamont was then on her way
to school.

ARSON TRUST FORMED
Widespread Ramifcations Throughout the
Dominion

CHICAGO, Sept. IA special to the
Chronicle from Montreal says:
The greatest arson conspiracy that has
ever been concocted in America was I'M
eArthed here today. Warrants are out for
ten of the most prominent merchants in
the city, and three of them have already
been arrested. The thing started with
the arrest of three men, Jenkins, Moore
and Chores.
About five weeks ago these men were
arrested for setting fire to the wholesale
stationery store of Boyd, Gillies e. Co.
BOYD, the senior member. suddenly left
for Europe, and when Chores, after his
departure, turned queens evidence, it
VAS found that Boyd was connected with
the matter, approved of it. and rronnred
part of the receipts which the insurance
adjusters awarded as damages.
The evidence showed that there was a
widespread conspiracy which has ramifi-
cations in the states and all through
Canada. 1t was found that the conspira-
tors we're IN the habit of setting fire to
the places by means of a clockwork ar
rangement. This was made of an alarm
clock with the bell taken off. On top was
thick glass bowl of sulphuric acid and
below it a bowl containing methylated
spirits. When the hour came for the clock
to strike the alarm the hammer broke the
glass bowl and the sulphuric acid was
precipitated into the spirits, the com bina-
ton bursting into fans. Mr.. J. M.
Quinn. crown prosecutor, went to New
York to inquire into the United States
end of the conspiracy. Then warrants
were sworn out. These were for Thomas,
John Berser. Castle. Sarseville. Richard
Dagenas, Davis, all furriers, and Beliu S
and Lowenthal, wholesale clothing mer-
chants. A small army OF detectives were
sent out, but Up to this time only three
were arrested.
The total amount of the populations is
said to be about 500, 900. The arrests
have created sensation.

Socialism Not Anarchy

= CHICAGO, Sept. ~. Kier Hardie,

dience last night in the Twelfth street
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1895-03-21
Religion from the ''Ram's Horn

The devil is still buying souls very
cheap for the promise of spot cash.
No matter how much religion we
profess, all that counts is what we live
No matter who has the floor, self con.
ceit will always find way to speak.
A baby sin has no more right to live
than one that is old enough to vote.
The man who makes his own god
has one that drives him with an iron
whip.
The devil is proud of grumbler, nc
matter whether he belongs to church
or not.
We hate our own sins most when we
see them walking around in the shoes
of somebody else.
All lies have the smell of birthstone
on their garments, no matter whether
they are white or black.
If the devil ever rubs his hands with
satisfaction, it is when he gets good
man to oppose a good cause.
Going out on a wet night to hear cleo
ton returns is one thing, and going tC
prayer meeting in the same kind OF
weather is another.
