VIOLATED COMMERCE LAW.
Injunction May be Brought Against
ST. Louis and San Francisco Road.

st. Louis, May Isl. A. Middleton,
and San Francisco Railroad Company,
testified at a hearing before the inter-
state commerce commission in st. Louis
that his road had given rebates on grain
shipments in violation of the Interstate
commerce law, and it is expected that the
commission will at once ask for an In
junction to restrain that railroad COM
pany from further violations of the law
The hearing was conducted by Special
Agent Marchand before commissioners
Prouty and Fifer.
Mr.. Middleton's testimony was to the
effect that the Frisco, prior to January
l. 1902 had made refunds to the Brinson-
Judd Grain Company and Lengenberg
Brothers & Co. on grain brought to the
Mississippi river. He stated that the
Frisco had been forced to this practice
by the competition of other lines which
since have been enjoined.
The Frisco, according to the statement
of a freight official, will make no objec-
ton to an injunction, in fact it is stated
that the company would prefer to have
it. An injunction against the Frisco will
nut all the roads in the grain territory
on the same basis.
The commission has concluded the hear
ing of the case against the Mobile and
Ohio road. The testimony was to the
effect that all shippers had been made
acquainted with the IL cents rate on
grains between East st. Louis and Vicks-
burg. Complaint had been made that this
rate had been given to one grain firm in
discrimination against another.
The result of this hearing will be fur

the matter of making public all rates.
An order covering this subject will be
issued at once from Washington, it is

visit all the tenement houses on the
east side to persuade the Hebrew women
not to buy meat until the price was re-
duced to the point of a year ago. tnat IS
ten and twelve cents per pound. They
were not to create any disturbances, but
when they saw Hebrew women coming
out of a butchershop with meat, they
were instructed to argue with them. IL
they were unwilling to throw the meat
away but willing to join the organiza-
ton, the committee of women were to
buy 1t from them and throw 1t into the
street
Together with this committee another of
nine men was appointed as an auxiliary

believe we can start 200 stores, one, say
at every fifth block. Each customer Will
be a stakeholder to the amount purchas-
ed. We can sell meat for 10 cents then.

HEBREWS DIFFER
AS TO A SABBATH
Question Discussed at Meeting
in Atlantic City
DIFFER WITH DR.. HIRSH
Judge Hamburger Says Statement
That Jews Have No Place of Wor-
ship is Mistake-Judge Ham,
burger Wants Change.

Atlantic City, n. j., May 1S.-The quin-
quennial convention, Independent Order
of the Free Sons of Israel. met today at
the Hotel Rudolph with $50 delegates
present from all parts of the country. The
object of the organization is to unite
the sons of Israel in the interests of COM
mon humanity, and to spread intelli-
gence and enlightenment and more firm
ly bind the ties which unite mankind to
succor the distressed and to relieve the
needy.
Grand Master Hamburger in his mes
sage, which was read at todays session,
states that In the aggregate millions of
dollars have been dispensed by the or
der in relieving the sick and distressed.
The following officers were chosen after
the convention had been called to order
by Grand Master Hamburger:
William Cans of New York. chairman;
E. C. Hamburger. Chicago, vice chair
man; Herman Steiffel, New York, second
vice chairman; Simon Cohen, Detroit,
third vice chairman, and j. H. Goldsmith
New York, secretary. The principal work
of the day was the reading of the annual
report of the grand master of the order,
Julius Hamburger. Considerable discus
sion was INDUCED in privately by the
delegates over the sermon of DR.. Emile
Hirsch of the Israel Temple, Chicago in
which 1t is claimed he made the sugges-
ton that the Jews should adopt the
Christian Sunday. The sermon and
proposition were condemned.
Judge julius Hamburger of New York
said:
II am not in favor of any change as
suggested in the sermon, and 1 say that
DIR. Hirsch is too premature in his asser-
lions. The Sabbath and day of worship
for the Jews is too well established in
their belief and doctrines to put them
aside for moderation arguments. 1t would
not be good for the Jews and never will
be considered seriously"
School Commissioner Ben Blument hal
of New York saiG
"a minister such as DR.. Hirsch, by the
utterances, is a detriment instead of a
benefit to Judaism. If DR.. Hirsch can
not bring Jews together in a city like
Chicago, 1t does not stand to reason that
1t can be done in New York, and l will
show him by the large attendance of Jew
ish men at my church that his statement
as to the Jews Sabbath being dead is not
correct. If we have such men as DR..
Hirsch we certainly will meet with de-
struction."
Judge Hamburger of Chicago defended
the proposition, saying:
II believe in anything that will help to
bring about a day of worship for the
Jews. At present they have none 1 have
always been strong reformer. The time
must come when the change will be made
but that time is not near at hand; btt
what's the difference to God whether we
pray to him. on Saturday or Snndavn

SHIPPING GOODS
TO EAST INDIES
interesting Report on Our Trade
With Those Countries
IMPORTS HAVE INCREASED
Failure of Cotton Crop and the Chi
nese Trouble Contributed to the
Decline in the Imports of
Cotton Piece Goods.

Washington, May Frederick Emery,
chief of the bureau of foreign commerce,
made public today an Interesting ex-
tract from Commercial relations of the
United States for 1901" showing what
this country accomplished in trade last
year in the East Indies and Persia.
Consul Fee of Bombay says that the
imports of shoes from the United States
in British India are growing, the ship
ments last year being four times those
of the previous year. The American last
is advancing in favor
There also is an increase in the i'm
ports of furniture and our roll top desks
are being ordered in large numbers.
American bicycles, on account of their
lightness, strength and reasonable price
are well received. We also send good
proportions of the clocks and watches.
Failure of crops and the Chinese trou-
bles contributed to the decline In i'm
ports of cotton piece goods, but the bulk
of this fell to England and imports from
the United States, in the line of grey
and coored goods increased largely over
the previous year.
There has been much discussion, says
Mr.. Fee, of the relative merits of the
British and American locomotives which
have been supplied to the railroads OF
India. According to information obtained
from railway men and engineers, the
consul is unable to discover any of the
dissatisfaction with the American locomo-
tives which newspaper articles have as
serted to exist.
Consul Rairden of Batavia reports a
notable increase in the imports of Ameri-
can goods into the Dutch Indies. Our
canned goods are advancing steadily.
The contract for providing new swater
works for the city of Soerabaya has
been gained by a Philadelphia firm. A
Chicago house has established an agency
for machinery in central Java under the
management of a pushing American.
Commercial travellers from the United
States are visiting Dutch India In In
creasing numbers and the results have
been satisfactory
Vice Consul General Tyler of Teheran
says that our clocks, watches, cutlery,
monographs, electric fans and other GU
riosities of a useful or ornamental kind
always are salable in Persia. Good
American padlocks are in demand. Sta
tionery commands a good sale, as does
wall paper; and canned goods, whether
meats, sweets or pickles, find a ready
market. II
Persian agricultural methods and i'm
plements belong to a distant part, and
there is disposition at the present time
among land owners to try the simpler
methods Of our machinery and appli-
ances.

EMPEROR IMPULSlVE.
Purpose to Present U. S. a Statue
Was Suddenly Formed.

Berlin, May 18.-The purpose of En-
peror William to give statue of Freder-
ick the Great to the United States was
seemingly quite suddenly formed. Last
Tuesday evening his majesty was hold
ing an informal reception in the court
box Of the new theatre at Wiesbaden be-
tween the acts of the opera THE Merry
Wives of Windsor" when he turned to
Professor Uphues, the sculptor, and said:
"Uphues, l want you 10 make another
statue of Frederick the Great"
II shall be delighted, your majesty"
replied the professor.
This was the first the sculptor had
heard of the project, and 1t was appar-
entity the first that any one had heard
Of the Emperor's intention.
His majesty then told Prof. Uphues
that the statue was for presentation to
the United States, and his cablegram to
President Roosevelt on the subject was
written and sent the next day.

Vention against the conventionists MAX

to have the matter referred to primary
