A special to the st. Louis Republic says:
John D. Rockefeller or a wicked partner"
has supplied the sensation of the hour. and
has made 1t absolutely certain that the
Department OF Commerce bill will pass,
with the amendment inserted by the con-
ference committee of congress, providing
for publicity on the lines advocated by At
torney General Knox.
While there is a great deal Of mystery
regarding the alleged Rockefeller kilograms
to senator's, asking them to defeat the
publicity of the Department OF Commerce
bill and while most of the members Of the
senate discredit the report on the general
principle that Mr.. Rockefeller is too adroit
man to resort to such open methods in
influencing legislation. there is no room
for a successful denial of the fact that
kilograms were sent to both members Of
the senate and house; that they were signed
John d. Rockefeller" that they were sent
with the. acquiescence OF Mr.. Rockefeller
and that, II any mistake as to Mr.. Rookie
feller's wishes in the matter was made, it
was in attaching his name to the tele-
gram and not that OF some one represent
ing him.
1t is stated here that It is not at all
likely that Mr.. Rockefeller will go to the
extent of entering a denial of the fact
that the telegram was sent for him, and
with his entire approval.
A number OF congressman who resent
bitterly such an insolent message to the
lawmakers pointed out that the receiving
OF a telegram is not proof OF its genuine
ness. The name OF the sender may have
been forged and such a message might
have been wired as a ruse or political play
for the purpose of securing earlier action
on the antitrust law.
The Littleield bill passed the house Sat
urday afternoon and it is pointed out that
there was no urgent need for telegram
to the senate not to act upon 1t. A letter
from New York would reach the senators
before the bill could get to that branch Of
congress.
There are some considerations connected
with the publication Of the telegram which
are not lost sight OF. One senator re-
marked this evening that 1t was certainly
remarkable that coupled with II is an au-
thorized statement from the White House
that unless there is trust legislation there
will be an extra session Of congress.
Although this senator did not make a
positive statement to this effect, be indi-
Gated that II was entirely possible that the
administration had desired the publication
of the telegram and given It publicity
through some of it's representatives in the
senate.
If this should be the fact, or II It should
be generally believed TO be the fact by
trust magnates, the political Significance
! OF such a development would be very great
and might have a very important bearing
on the action OF the next national repub-
lican convention.

PRESIDENT PLAYS TRUNPS
Rockefeller Telegram Said to Have Been
Given Out at White House
MAKES HIM MASTER OF THE SITUATION
of standard OIL Presi-
dent Believed 60 Assure Passage
of Bill Regulating
the Trusts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-With one blow
straight from the shoulder President Roose-
welt knocked out the Standard Oil trust,
says a special to the Chicago Record
Herald. II was the president who gave
to the public the news that representatives
of the oil monopoly had been in Wash
ington trying to defeat all antitrust leg
islation, and that kilograms had been re-
ceived by senators signed John d. Rookie
feller, urging that the antitrust act now
pending be either emasculated or killed.
This stroke Of publicity on the part OF
the president has raised a storm In Wash
ington aud has rendered II morally certain
that such legislation as the administra-
tion desires will be passed before March
4. The mere fact that the head of the
Standard OIL trust is using his influence
against the pending measure is sufficient to
insure success Mr.. Rockefeller. what
ever his personal virtues may be, is not
dearly loved by the average member of
congress or by the public at large. OF all
the trusts in the country the oil trust is
the one which has the least respect here
and which would stand the smallest chance
Of having it's wishes gratihed in legisla-
tion.
Senators WIN Not own IL.
Though the episode has raised storm
in Washington, and created a condition Of
mind In which the daring president is
master Of the situation, and will get what
he wants from congress without the nee
essty of calling an extra session, there
are still some phases Of the affair which
are not easy to understand. In the first
place no copy of the alleged telegram
l from Mr.. Rockefeller has been seen. II
F, is said and President Roosevelt is au-
thority for the statement, that half dozen
such kilograms have been received by
senators. So far no senator can be found
who is willing to admit that he was one
of the half dozen. According to rumor,
| the little missives expressive of Mr.. Rock
efeller's desire to have all trust legisla-
tion stopped we're duly delivered to Sem
| ators Aldrich, Hale, Kean. Spooner. Hanna
| and Depew. All have denied having re-
] ceived the kilograms. There is circum-
! stantial evidence that messages Of this
character were delivered to two or three
senator's, and no one is surprised that the
recipients should wish to appear before
the house as being in Mr.. Rockefeller
confidence and good graces to the extent
| that he would select them as objectives
| of his congressional campaigning. Mr.,
! Rockefeller's friendship might be an awk-
ward thing to explain to ones constitu-
ents.

Petition for Normal school.

This resolution was introduced by Bartoo
Of Valley and referred to the public schools
committee:
Whereas, The opportunities provided by
the state for the professional training of
demands and needs of the hour; therefore.
be Il ,r. ~. III
Resolved, That We favor the passage Of
house roll No. l Inow before the present
legislature), which provides for the estab-
lishment of one additional normal school
west of the sixth principal meridian; that
we also favor house roll No. 100 (now before
the present legfslature) which provides for
the establishment of Junior normal schools
at Alliance McCook and Valentine.
Resolved, further. That we petition our
representatives and senators OF the twenty
eighth session of the Nebraska legislature
to use all honorable means 10 secure the
passage of said bills.
Resolved, further, That we request our
representative, Hon. A. +. Bartoo OF the
Fifty-ffth representative district, and our
senator, Hon. Nj. L. Fries OF the Fifteenth
senatorial district, to use their influence 10
secure the passage Of these bills.
AND OTHERS.
Jones Of Otoe made a facetious plea for
better ventilation and general Improvement
in the sanitary condition of the house. A
resolution embodying his ideas was re-
ferred to the medical committee.
Douglas OF Rock, as chairman Of the house
special revenue committee, reported that
the joint committee had failed to complete
its work OF drafting a revenue bill and
could not submit such a bill for a few
days.

says Majority Favor Bill.

Mr.. Elkins declared that thirty-three
democrats and seventeen or eighteen re-
publicans favored the omnibus bill, while
thirty-eight republicans opposed 1t, and he
wanted to show that the minority was OBJ
stfucting the passage Of the bill.
Mr.. Clay (Ga) declared an injustice was
being done the people OF Arizona and New
Mexico on account Of the statements made
regarding their Mormon population. At
the present time there were but 1900 Nor
mons in New Mexico and $500 in Arizona,
while, according 10 the census OF 1880, Idaho
had 1882 and Utah 11s,2Ol.
He believed II was wrong to charge the
peope OF New Mexico with being repudia-
tionists. polygamists and ignorant. If
given the opportunity they would present
the identical constitution prepared by them
in 1889, declaring against bigamy and pc
lygAmy.
At 4:55 the senate went into executive
session and soon afterward adjourned.
