declined to do. The governor will go

The situation for a part Of yester-

the insurance commissioner, his dep

The legal fight which begins today
promises TO be a long drawn out one,
as both sides are determined and will
carry the matter TO the last ditch be-

The general trend of legal opinion
here is that the commissioner has the

He Is CHARGED
WITH GRAND LARCENY
Frank Culligan Charged With Re-
ceiving Goods Not COnsign-
ed to Him.
WAS A LONG CHASE
kipp Still Retains Possession or HIS
ONCE and Will DO So Until
His Case Has Been
Decided.

Yankton, Feb. 14.-Frank Culligan,
living near Utica, has been arrested at
his home by Sheriff Hickey upon a
charge Of grand larceny, Il. j. Wiley,
a wholesale dealer in furnishing goods
at Sioux Cry. causing the arrest 10 be
made. Culiigau is charged with hav-
ing stolen a case Of furnishing goods
from the station platform at Utica.
The case was shipped by Mr.. Wiley
and consigned to one OF the firm :
travelling men. 1t contained 500
worth of furnishing goods and was
dropped by the freight, which reached
that station at night. IL disappeared,
and until recently no trace could be
found. For months past robberies or
all descriptions have been perpetrdted
throughout this vicinity, and arrests
have been made. but until the past
two weeks evidence sufficient for hold
ing those arrested has been lacking.
This man tulliGau has. during the fall
and winter, been before the lankton
police court several times upon sim
liar charges. but has been discharged.
This time, however. the evidence
amassed appears TO be OF the most con-
yincing character. \ man named Ma
son who has been connected with a
gang whose headquarters were near
Utica. and which conducted shady
deals. informed against Culligan, say
ing that Culligan told him how he had
made way with the missing box. The
sheriff and Mr.. Wiley. after learning
this, went To Culligan's house, made u
thorough search and found the goods
slowed in a hiding place. neatly con-
triNcd, between the timbcTs of The see
ond floor. Mr.. Wiley at once rccOg-
niZed the furnishing goods as belong
ing TO him, and the man Culligan was
arrested and brought here. Some pork
was also found in this hiding place,
ana is thought to be a part Of their
illegal Transactions. Mr.. Wiley is of
the opinion that the Cuiligan house is
a rendezvous for a gang, and says that
il the officers will stand by him he will
do his best to help clean mp the whole
outfit, and spend money to do so, as
signing as a reason for his interest in
the matter the fact that he il con-
Stantly shipping goods into this see
ton. and wholesale thieNing is a mem
ace to all. Culligan maintains his in
nocencc, as he has hitherto when ar
rested. and says that the goods found
in his house were brought there, but
that he did not know they were stolen.

HOPES TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES
IL IL Apparent That III Bankruptcy
Bill Passes IL Will 30 n
Compromise Meas


Washington, Feb. 1.-THE next
move on the carpet in the house Wal. pc
the bankruptcy bill. General HenaeT-
son Of Iowa, chairman OF the commit
tee on judiciary, which has the hiii an
charge, prepared a resolution % DC
submitted on rules setting apart time
for the consideration Of the bankrupt
cy bill by the house. As General hen
derson is also a member OF the com
mittee on rules, he did not specify the
number of days to be accorded 10 "a
consideration of the measure. ms
matter will be determined by the COM
mittee on rules. Mr.. Henderson said:
1.-THE fact is, it is difficult 10 say
Just when we shall be able OF get In
with the bankruptcy bill, as the dispo-
sition OF the house recently has been
TO pass through the appropriation bills
first before entering upon the consid-
Grafton Of other matters. This course
Is in the interests OF a short session,
and Il gives the senate more time Tor
passing upon the appropriation meas
ures. Most of the appropriation bills
have now been SEN to the senate and
we should be able TO secure some time
in the house very oon The only
drawback at present is the pressure
for time by the committee on post
Offices with the Loud bill, making inn
portant changes in the mail system.
1t is the desire of Chairman Loud TO
get his bill out Of the way before the
postofice appropriation bill is consid-
cred, as the passage OF his bill would
make material changes i'm the amount
of money 20 be appropriated for the
postal service. But from present APP
pearances of the business of the house
we should ecu some time for the
bankruptcy bill very soon"
Conference Compromise.
1t is becoming more and more ap,
parent that If a bankruptcy bill is
passed by this congress IT will be the
result of a compromise in the confer.
ence between the committees Of both
houses. 1t has long been known that
the bill as it will pass the house vii
not be wholly acceptable either TO the
supporters Of involuntary or OF a pure

the oil magnates to increase the cap
ital stock. This has beer semi-ofticiat-
iy denied several times, and Colonel {.
). +. Dodd, the general solicitor of the
Standard Oil company, said: "All
such talk of an increase in the capital
ization is without foundation. There
has been no change, and there will be
o m in the future"
That there is to be a change, how
ever, is certain. and il has leaked out
that the program mapped out by the
magnates will enable them TO continue
paying large dividends and at the same
time eyade taxation and defeat the
ends of the antitrust laws.
Certificates signed by trustees are 20
be issued in place of the stock certif-
Gates of the numerous subsidiary COM
panies controlled by the trust. The
stockholders in these companies will
be asked TO surrender their present
certificates, receiving in lieu thereof
a certificate stating on its face that
the holder is entitled to SO many
shares in certain named companies.
The separate companies will then de-
clare individual dividends. which will
be Jumped n one sum and paid on
the trust certificates.
This course is necessary in order TO
comply with the orders of the courts
in various states, particularly Ohio, or
dering the winding up of the Standard
Oil Trust on the ground that il is car
rying on business in distinct violation
of the antitrust laws.
The process of winding up the affairs
of the trust has been too slow TO suit
the courts of Ohio and an effort was
made recently 10 declare officers and
directors of the trust in contempt OF
court. Not only has the delay dis
pleased the court, but the method
used has been subjected TO criticism.
On this score, however, the trust feels
secure, for it employed the best law
yers in the country to perfect the pres
ent plan, which, it is asserted, no ex-
listing law can touch.
The jump in price of Standard Oil
stock has startled even the insiders.
Late Wednesday afternoon an effort
vas made 10 depress the price in order
TO buy up the stock offered at a lower
price and thus keep the entire profit
within the clique controlling the com
pany. 70 this end brokers working
for the insiders offered 1000 shares of
stock in small lots, thinking that this
would break the price.
To the surprise of everyone all the
stock offered was qickly picked up.
One man bought 300 shares Mt $i2o,
which was the closing price that day.
Yesterday morning this speculator saw
a profit of $500 in his purchase and
Immediately bought more.

Clay Wants a New Court House.

Nermillion, Feb. 14..-Much comment
has been caused in this city over the
election results i'm Union county Tues
day, and it is the opinion of nearly
all that its residents made a mistake.
Clay county also needs "a good court
house and itwas thought that il Union
county voted the tax il would assist
the movement in this county. The
Tact that no bonus was put up by Elk
Point as a starter, is believed to have
been n great hindrance. When the
tax levied in this county for the re-
building Of the university expires the
next move will probably be for a court
house. When the $780, 900 bonds were
voted here the city guaranteed $lO,0 600
more. otherwise the overwhelming vote
might have been the other way.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE value OF the
rolling checks or bilge keels on ocean
steamships as a preventive Of excessive
rolling has been SO well demonstrated
in the past year that nearly all the
big liners will soon be equipped with
them. The Cunard liner Lucania,
while in dry dock recently, had the
new keels put on, and her trip which
ended at this port Sunday was her
first trial of them.
Captain Mckay, when asked how
they worked, said that the trip, al

been such as To test the efficiency Of

would accomplish the purpose for

DEFENSE ON A NEW LEAD.
Endeavoring 10 Show That the
Strikers Are About TO
Claim Damages.

tf1k are ABOUT TO
Claim Damages.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 14.-When
court opened this morning for the trial
of Sheriff Martin and his deputies who
are charged with the killing of the
strikers at Lattimer, the defense in
PRODUCED a new feature in O exami-
nation by endeavoring to show that
the evidence of witnesses was infiu-
enced by a hope of securing damages
from the government in the event of a
conviction.
Adam Lapinski was h first wit
ness. He was asked: did anybody
tell you or read to you from the pa
pers that you would get money from
the government II the deputies were
convicted?"
'No, sir; j did not know anything
about it," said he.
Thos. Paris, the next witness, told
the story of the march to Lattimer.
At the first shot Paris said he ran, but
was struck by a bullet when he was
about fifty yards from the deputies.
Mike Sorochak told how some OF the
deputies had followed the fleeing
strikers at Lattimer and shot at them
as they ran.
