Alexander ON Stand.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. Twill the
members of the graye-robbing gang to
be tried after DIR. Alexander's trial
is finished escape punishment because
of Rufus Cantrell's alleged insanity?
This is question that is causing no
end of comment among lawyers. At
torneys say the negro can be set at lib
erty or else confined in an insane asy-
lum. Experts on mental disorders
testified that Cantrell was insane.
The other grave robbers confined in
the Jail. it is said, might have good
chance for freedom, as the only evil
dence against them would be Can
trell's testimony.
DR.. Alexander took the witness
stand Tuesday. He appeared pale,
but not i'll at ease, and he spoke in a
low but clear tone. He was graduated
March rs, 1895, from the Indiana col
lege and opened an Office in this city
DR.. Alexander testified that he tend
ed bar and kept the books for time
in his uncle's saloon. He was arrest
ed at one time while in the saloor
business, he said, on the charge of sell
ing liquor "after hours" but he was
acquitted. He was married in 1897.

Elkins Anti-Rebate Bill Is Reported
Favorably to the House
by Committee.
CERTAIN AMENDMENTS ARE ADOPTED.
House Passes the Nelson Amendment
to the Department of Commerce
Bill by q Vote of PSI to 1O-Presi-
dent Continues to Hold Confer

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce Tuesday agreed to favor
ably report the Elkins anti-rebate
bill with certain amendments.
The committee recommends an
amendment to the last provision of
section 3, striking out the words, cor

read: But no person shall be prose-
cuted or subjected to any penalty OF
forfeiture for or on account of any
transaction, matter, or thing con-
corning which he may testify to pro-

of commerce bill, the Elkins rebate
bill and the Littlefield bill, which was
passed by the house on Saturday.
Early in the day the president had
conference with Representative Lit
tlefield. The latter is urging strong
ly that his measure be taken up
and passed by the senate. He main
tains that, while the Nelson amend
ment provides for publicity as to some
of the operations of corporations, it
does not go so far as his measure goes
and not as far as congress ought to
go in the matter.
Later, Senator's Spooner ard AID
rich had extended talks with the
president about, trust legislation.
With other congressional callers the
president discussed the subject, urg-
ing upon all, it is understood, the de-
STABILITY that congress should enact
the Nelson amendment and the Elkins
rebate measure. 1t is the consensus OF
opinion among members of congress
that both of those measures will be en-
acted into law and that it is scarcely
likely that congress will go further
with antitrust legislation at the pres
ent session.
