The obsequies of the late Colonel
Levi Stoner were conducted this
afternoon at the Baptist church
and were largely attended by a
number of sorrowing relatives and
friends who had assembled to pay
their last tribute of respect to all
that was mortal of a loving hus-
band, kind and indulgent father
and true friend. The obsequies
were conducted by Rev. G. W,
Hatch, pastor OF the Baptist church
and Rev. H. B. Bowden, pastor of
the M. E. church. The reverend
gentlemen were eloquent In their
nigh tribute of the noble life and
character of the deceased.
Col. Stoner served throughout
the civil war with honor and dis
tinction to his country. He was
always an active and prominent
member of the G. A. R. and was a
past commander of the local A. D.
Work Post, the members of which
attended the funeral in a body.

Miss Mabel Rogers piano solo was
beautiful. Miss Mae Corbitt'S ora
tion on Alexander Hamilton could
not lie excelled by any person. She
spoke clear and distinct and her re-
marks were true and interesting.
Charley Hogue deserves great
credit for the way he spoke about
improving the Ohio river. He did
himself proud. Miss Bess MocK's
recitation was equal to any ametuer
who has made a special study
In this line. Miss Nell
Blacks Grafton reflected great cred.
1t to the young lady aud the audi
ence was delighted with her oration
ineverv way Miss Edna Stetson did
herself proud In her recitation,
which was very difficult selection
to rem der, but she acquitted herself
with honor. Miss Beulah Belford's
oration on Literature was pronoun-
ced by some, at least, as being the
best Grafton of the evening. We are
not going to endorse that, because

like 1t, but 1t certainly was excel

by Miss Katie Go odwin was we'll
rendered and she had the honor of
getting the o My encore that COM
PEELED her to return and repeat the
chorus of her solo. Miss Katie de-
served the hearty encore she got
from the large audience. The Ora
ton that folio wed by Miss Lulu
McKisslon was excellent and
many spoke of 1t In the highest
terms of commentator. Ro-
bert Finlayson's Grafton on the

Miss Emile Morrison's piano solo
was rendered as only she can play.
Her solo was sweet and we'll exc

Then W. G. Hays, President of the
Board of Education, presented the
diplomas, the benediction was pro-

COMMENCEMENT EXER
CISES A SUCCESS

The Fifth Annual Commerce
ment exercises were held In the
Auditorium last night and class Of
twenty-one, eighteen young ladies
and three gentlemen, received their
diplomas as graduates from the SIS
tersville High School, of Sisters
Vile.
This Is the fourth year the Com
mencement exercises have been
held In the Auditorium. In order
to raise funds to buy invitations,
pay for the Auditorium and many
other expenses, the trial was made
four years ago of holding the ex-
erclses In the Auditorium In order
to raise funds for these expenses.
The school laws of Our State do not
provide for any expense of this
kind thanks to Our ignorant states
men, so the trial was made and the
receipts were SIS. Next year the
receipts were $50, and the next
sos, and last night the house was
crowded and the receipts were
over S175. Evidently the people
appreciate and propose to keep this
laudable way of paying the gradu-
ating expenses up.
When the curtain rolled up at
$50 every seat in the house was
taken and standing room only was
sold. The stage was very neatly
decorated with the class colors,
gold and blne, and flowers. Then
In marched the Board of Education,
followed by the Superintendent
and teachers of the High School,
and then came the graduates. The
girls were all dressed In white and
carried large bunches Of American
roses. The boys looked fine also,
but rot quite so pretty as the girls.
1t was tue class. Superintendent
Hess was proud of every one OF
them aud he showed 1t. He had a
right to be. Prof. Daniels and
Miss Annie Elliott, of the High
School, wore smiles of keen pleas
ure and satisfaction. AS instruc-
tors of, the graduating class the re-
suits shown by 1t last night demon
strates their ability as instructors
to be second to none In this or any
other State.
The program was carried out to
the letter as published In the Re-
view last night. The invocation
was offered by Rev. Bowden, of the
M. E. church, and the benedlction
was pronounced by Rev. Hatch, OF
the Baptist church.
We will not attempt to say which
girl or boy won the honors last
night. AS a gentleman expressed
1t this morning, "It was the best
Commencement he had ever attend
| ed" That was the verdict of all.

COAL ROADS NEXT
ATTORNEY GENERAL PLANS AN.
OTHER ATTACK.
Case Combine to Be
Proceeded Against If the SUI
preme Court Sustalns the Deci.
sion In the Northern Securities
Case.

Washington, Arpil IS. - Attorney
General Knox and one or two of his in
innate official associates in the deprat-
ment of justice have for some time been
making a careful study of the alleged
combination among the anthracite coal
roads of Pennsylvania. 1t is not I'M
likely, as Il result of this Investigation,
that bills in equity will be filed against
these railway companies, similar in
character to the bill which was filed
against the Northern Securities merger,
the decision upon which was handed
down last week. 1t is not to be as
sumed, however, that these proceedings
against the coal carriers will be insti-
tuted immediately; in fact the prose-
cution will probably be delayed several
months.
The examination of the relations
supposed to exist between the railroads
engaged in the coal carrying business
in Pennsylvania has been conducted
upon no very systematic plan and with
no immediate purpose in view, but Mr..
Knox Is known to have devoted con-
siderable amount of time to the subject
in the same way that he has examined
into the conditions surrounding several
other corporations against which COM
plants have been made and allegations
filed to the effct that they were violat-
ing federal statutes. 1t is the policy of
the administration not to proceed pre-
cipitately in its enforcement of the
anti trust laws, and for two very good
reasons, among others. One of these
is that the department of justice wishes
to proceed III dignified, judicial man
ner in carrying out its policy OF enforc-
ing the statutes. causing the least pos
sible disturbance of sensitive business
conditions. The other is that two great
cases are already pending, and it is de-
sirable to have the judgment of the
United States supreme court on these
as a safe guide to a legitimate course Of
action in other cases.

AN EXPLANATION.
Porto Rico Cases Had Already Been
Settled by Treasury. Department


Washington. Arpil 1.-THE atten-
ton of the officials of the department of
Justice has been called to the published
dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico, to
the effect that the United States dis
trict attorney there had declined to
prosecute criminally a number of army
and navy officers for alleged smuggling,
explaining his action by the statement
that he was acting under orders from
Washington.
Secretary Moody and Postmaster
General Payne were in Porto Rico
shortly after the offenses complained
of became known, and were directed
to investigate and report the facts in
the case.
Postmaster General Payne, when his
attention was called to the matter, dc
tated the following statement:
"These cases were called to the at
tention of the cabinet because they in
volved officers of the army and navy,
and at the request of the attorney gene
raj the secretary of the navy and the
postmaster general, who were about to
!
personal investigation into the facts of
the case.
cit seems that certain officers had
brought to San Juan articles for per-
sonal use which were subject to customs
duties, especially cigars and some liq-
uors, and it was said that a present OF
some of the cigars was made to local
J,,l> 3 okn
of importing anything upon which it
was proposed to make money or to sell
for protit-simply personal effects for
personal use-some of which it seems
were given away.
eve were advised by the secretary of
the treasury, such cases coming under
his jurisdiction, that in cases of this
character, where there was no inten-
ton to import for profit, meaning by
that where the goods were not brought
in for sale, it is customary not to pros
ecute criminslly, but to settle such
cases by the payment of the penalty.
This was done in this case, and the Off
Ger or officers in question have paid the
penalty imposed by the treasury depart
ment, which is twice the amount of the
original duty.
"a settlement on this basis having
been approved by the secretary of the
treasury it seemed to the secretary of
the navy and to the postmaster general
that criminal prosecution would be per-
seeution, and we felt entirely justified
in recommending that it be not fol-
lowed in this CASE

SENSATION IN COURT.
Porto Rico Grand Jury Instructed
to Ignore instructions from
Washington. ~

San Juan, Porto Rico, April b.
The grand jury Is investigating the
smuggling cases in which officers of
the United States navy and other prom
inent men are involved, notwithstand-
ing the instructions which it is stated
District Attorney Pettingill has re-
ceived from the department of justice
at Washington not to present infroma-
ton to the grand jury at this term.
The press and natives have practically
demanded an investigation, ina.much
as during the last term native mer-
chant named Ricardo Armendo was sem
fenced to years imprisonment and
fine of 500 for having contraband liq-
uor in his possession. During the al
ternoon the grand jury came into court
and asked for information The fore
man said:
"It has come to our knowledge that
certain cases. of smuggling have &C.
cured. We have asked the district at
torney about the matter and he refused
to bring up the matter, alleging that he
had received certain instructions. We
now ask the Judge if we have right
to information, in spite of the district
attorneys refusal "
Judge Holt had prepared written
charge, the reading Of which caused a
sensation. He said in part:
"When you were impaneled, at the
beginning of the term, you swore that
you would make dligent inquiry into
such matters given you or which might
otherwise come to your Knowledge,
touching violations of the statutes of
the United States, and that you would
make no presentation through hatred,
favor or reward, or through hope there
Of. You could not, if you desired, es-
cape from the obligations of your oath
by needing the instructions of anyone.
The honort president of the United
States could pardon, but he could not
interfere. Ii you believe that anyone
has given instructions tending to to
prevent the fullest investigation of the
commission of crime in the United
States, and the returning of an indict-
ment, if the evidence so warrants, then
you should be INSPIRED by an additional
determination to do YOUR duty. The
court has knowledge OF the instructions
to which the district attorney alludes.
1t is proper to say that it is my oipn-
ion that there has been no intention of
encroaching upon your sworn duty Of
the judicial domain"
The testimony admitted last Deem
Der regarding the smuggling cases
pointed to dozen prominent officials
of the navy, army and insular govern
ment and citizens being implicated in
the charges.
