RELEASE OF PETER HAN
Murphy Secures Pardon of an
 Arizona Soldier

The Republican has the following story of the release Of an Arizona sol- dier through Gov Nurphy:-
 "Early in the summer a letter bear ing tale of woe was received at the office Of the governor from Peter Hasp a soldier of the Thir.y-,bird volunteer infantry in the Philip. ines. The letter was long one, but did not adequately describe the nature of Private Haan's woe. There was statement that he he'd been uujustly condemned to prison and sllusion was made to sD unreasonable lieutenant. Hssn re- ferred the governor 10 various persons Tn this vicinity who, he said, knew him 10 be worthy and reliable per son.
 some time after a more explicit let ter came from Mir Hssn. It didn't go back to the beginning of the trouble with the lieutenant. but MT Hasn said that he had occasion to laugh st the officer who appears 10 be a person with an undeveloPed sense of humor. In order to wsigh. down Mr Hssn's lively and rising spirits somewhat the officer sentenced bim to stand in a certain place for sn indefinite period. MT Hssp committed a more serlOus ohense by refusing to stand for this sentence, and the end of IL wa that he was sentenced to two years imprisonment on Alcstrsz I-- laud. The humorous phase of the situation hes long since passed away and MT Hasn became immersed in serious and lsborious epistolary effort looking toward an abatement Of his punishment.
 "GovernOr Murpby's Jurisdiction does not extend ever She military opera ii ms in the Philippines, but he engsg- ed il & movement for the relief of MT Hsan in an indirect way. All the persons to whom MT Han had made reference testified to his good char scier. The governor laid the matte r before the wa: department and sug- ses.ed that Mr Hssn having enjoyed the freedom Of tn e frontier for many years migbt naturally lave had looser ideas of discipline than the lieutenant whom he laughed a. and whose ideas were probably ss much too rigid ss Mr Hssn's were too lax. IL was un- fortunate that happy medium could not have been arrived at.
 "A letter was rec sived a. the gov ernor's off ice yesterday saying that the case of Private Hssn had, esn inves- tigated to his advantage and that or- d.rs for his release had been dispatch ed 10 Alcatraz."

The industrial commission, selected in
part by the President and in part by Con-
gress. composed of men representing both
parties and labor and capital. to consider
the relations of capital to labor in the
general Industrial affairs of the country,
made a partial report in January regard
ing trusts and combinations. At that time
the Journal presented some features of the
testimony which tended to correct cur
rent misapprehensions regarding the infu-
ence of combinations upon prices. The re-
port of the commission on transportation
has Just been sent to Congress. 1t has so
frequently been charged that such corpor-
ceive more favorable rates than other
shippers that the report is generally be-
lieved. Until the passage of the inter-
state-commerce law in 1887 this was the
case, all considerable shippers being given
lower rates. While some favoritism exists
now. the STANDARD Company and the rail-
roads show that the Standard has re-
ceived no such favors. All the evidence
that the commission could find sustains
the claim of the parties in interest.
One of the members of the commission
says there are practically no trusts in this
country. BY this he means that there are
no combinations which are monopolies. The
Standard Oil Company and the Tin-plate
Company make a near approach to monop-
olies. yet both of these have competitors.
There are enough rival pipe lines to force
the Standard to meet their prices If they
should see fit to reduce the price. The in
dependent tin-plate companies are enlarg-
ing their works. This member of the COM
mission further states that the price of
tin plates has not advanced so much as
has the labor employed and raw material
used in their production, and that the pres
ent cost of tin plates to the consumers
is not so large by nearly sic. 0OO. 900 yearly
as II was before the enactment of the Nc
the commission. however. do not sustain
the theory that trusts or injurious COM
binations of capital will correct themselves
through competition. The commission rec
commended a uniform system of corpora
ton laws and the maintenance of public
transfer offices open to stockholders where
the books may be examined. General pub
licity Is the chief remedy proposed. The
one thing which will go a long way to-
ward remedying all evils growing out Of
combinations is a law that will prevent
railroad determinations.
The commission has been giving special
attention TO strikes; as the result of its
Investigations 1t makes a distinctly new
proposition, which is that whoever inaugu-
rates a strike or a lockout without first
petitioning for arbitration or asserting to
1t when offered. shall be subject to an ap-
propriate penalty, the purpose being to dis
courage resort to forcible methods and
encourage peaceable and legal settlements
Of labor difficulties.
