ALLOWED TO GO FREE

St Louis. May 27.--Whcn the case
of Mrs. Sophia Weinzeirl. charged
with bringing girls to St. Louis from
Germany for improper purposes, was
called yesterday before United States
Commissioner Rabbit, District Attor-
ney Dyer announced that the federal
grand jury having considered the case
had decided not to proceed further.
He asked that the charge against Mrs.
Weinzeirl be dismissed. Mrs. Vein,
zeirl was then discharged. A similar
charge brought several days ago
against her on the same charge, undor
the state laws, was taken from the
jury and the defendant discharged.

ed them into the stretch. Helgeson
was drawing The Picket together for
the final rush. He closed the sap OF
two or three lengths and before they
had reached the last quarter pole was
close upon the leaders. Hermis had
run his race and was dropping back,
and Shaw swung the favOrite a trifie
wide. As he did so HelgesOn shot in
on the rail, and in a driving finish, 20
yards from the wire, The Pickets nose
showed in front. Lyme, on Proper, IN
a vigorous ride, brought the Jennings
candidate alongside Hermis, who fell
back to fourth place.
The great crowd went frantic in eff
forts to cheer on the favOrite. When
Hermis fell back the cheers seemed
to redouble and for a few seconds,
when it seemed almost certain that
Irish Lad would repeat his victory of
last year, $4,000 persons screamed
his name, men threw their hats into
the air and embraced one another out
of sheer delight. They did not realize
how close up Helgeson had brought
The Picket nor did they observe that
Shaw on Irish Lad was not as near
the rail as he might have been. The
western horse responded nobly TO the
call. Through a gap barely wide
enough for him TO pass he made his
run and won by the length of his mug
zle
The shouts of JOY died away in the
threats of the vast assemblage as
though the onlookers had been sudden
ly paralyzed. Proper was third, two
lengths behind Irish Lad and a nose in
front OF Hermis. McChesney, African
der and Claude were at the end of the
procession.

MARYLAND FOR GoRMAN.
Democrats Favor Senator as Presi-
Dental Candidate.

Baltimore, May 27.-The democratic
state convention of Maryland yester-
day adopted a platform and elected
delegates to the St Louis convention.
The platform is confined to national is
sues and practically indorses the line
of action followed by the democratic
steering committee during the last
session of congress. 1t calls for
moderate tariff revision, independence
for the Filipinos, economy in expendi-
lures and a full investigation of the
alleged crookedness in government
departments and severely criticizes
the republican administration. While
the delegates to st. Louis are not in
structed except TO vote as a unit, it is
admitted that this course was followed
at the request of Senator German, the
convention being plainly in the humor
o instruct for him. The delegates at
large elected are Senator Arthur Pue
German, Ex-Governor John Walter
Smith, State Treasurer Murray And
over and Congressman ]. f. c. Talbot.

New York, May 27.-Coming down
along the rail in the last few strides of
the run to the wire, The Picket, the
vests champion, in the Brooklyn hand
leap, snatched victory away from the
ever popular Irish Lad, the Brooklyn
winner of last year and the MetrOpOl-
itan winner this year.
1t was scarcely more than a nod OF
a head, but the hardy westerner
finished stronger than the Duryea colt,
whose terrific pace with Hermis up
TO the very home stretch would have
tried to the utmost the stoutest of
heart and the sturdIest of limb. The
frantic cheers which had been ringing
from the threats of nearly 10000 on
lockers died away when it was real
lied that Irish Lad had gene down to
defeat.
Proper, the California candidate,
came through at the end and beat out
Hermis for third place The time for
the mile was 1:S9 % and for the mile
and a quarter 2:O6 S-5, one and one
fifth seconds slower than the race
record, made by Irish Lad last year.
The handicap was worth 500 900. of
which $500 went to the second horse,
and 81 500 TO the third. In the betting
Irish Lad was the favorite and when
the bugle sounded his price was IL to
5; The Picket to /, and Proper 80
to 1.
There were 16 starters and after
three minutes of delay back of the
barrier the field got away in splendid
order, Irish Lad on the rail led, with
The Picket second and Hermis third
Helgeson on The Picket eased his
mount a trifle and when the racers
passed the grandstand Hermis and
Irish Lad had hooked up side by side.
The Picket was running easy in third
place. The Thomas colt (Hermis)
and the favorite struggled in vain,
either to master the other. From the
grandstand and three-quarters of a
mile from the starting point they were
running like one horse. In this man.
ner they swung around the far turn
and made for the last one which head

pied KinchOu. IL would be a great
surprise To the authorities here if the
report should prove TO be true. The
impression heretofore entertained is
that KinchOu would prove a hard nut
for the Japanese To crack and that its
reduction would need a siege train ano
call for careful approaches which
would occupy the enemy a long time.
The opinion of the best authorities is
that If the Japanese rushed Kinchou
by a frontal attack unsupported By
heavy guns, which it is not believed
they possess, the capture of the place
must have been effected at tremendous
loss to the attackers.

The forces of General Kondravotich
ard Rennenkampf. which are between
the Japanese armies at Fengwang-
cheng and south of LiaOyang are esti-
mated at more than $4,000 men and
include a large number of Cossacks.
The position of the Japanese first
army between the two Russian forces
is most critical. IL is thought General
KurOpatkin is advancing through the
mountain passes commanding the Hal

Japanese To the sea.

LAWSON'S EXPOSURE.

If anything more than a general un-
derstanding Of the dark and devious
methods OF "high finance" we're necces.
sary to convict the Standard Oil "crowd"
of Lawson's accusations, they themselves
are furnishing it.
Lawson's accusations are made circum-
stantially. II false they can be easily
refuted. But it is no REPUTATION to de.
nounce Lawson. Neither does silence
refute. And when to the suspicious
sill ence thus far maintained by the
larger fry whom Lawson directly &C.
cuses is added an underhand attempt to
ruin the magazine through which Law.
son speaks, the evidence OF guilt &C.
cumulates.
Such an attempt appears really to
have been made and strenuously. Adj
vertieers have been wheedled or coerced
by the Standard Oil "crowd" into with.
drawing their patronage, although the
magazine is now a better medium for
them than ever before. The distributing
agencies have been approached and
threatened with view preventing their
handling the magazine. Even the postal
department OF the government has been
urged to exclude it from the mails. This
method OF defense can have and ought
to have but one result. 1t will confirm
a growing opinion in the public mind
that Lawson's charges are too hurtful to
be openly challenged. Public.

ONE LAW FOR ALL.

When men eau no longer talk for or
petition for their rights there is little use
OF the res, Of the written constitution.
And yet, because Keller, Cunningham,
lumber and Aldrich, letter carriers, and
officers in their association. sought to
secure LEGISLATION to improve the condi.
ton OF themselves and their associates,
they are dismissed by the postmaster
general, the president OF the United
States approving. These men sought
legislation OF benefit to their associates.
Their association sent some OF them to
Washington. They distributed literature.
1t is charged that they encompassed the
defeat Of men who opposed them. Sup
pose they did. They had the right. q.
When these men were discharged the
section of the Constitution guaran' eeing
free speech and the right to petition was
violated. With the fate OF their officers
confronting them, what will the other
members Of the association dare to do to
secure better salaries? They do not
know what act will cause their dismissal
They can't read the presidents mind.
The letter of the Constitution of the
United States can no longer he their
guide. II these men were dis.
missed for pernicious activity in politics
they might demand that Taft and Shaw
and all the other talking members OF the
cabinet be discharged for running up
and down the country, making political
speeches and at the same time drawing
full pay from the government.

THE COAL TRUST.

On December ! the anthracite coal
trust gave the screws another turn and
the price OF its product was hoisted an.
othe- 25 cents a ton The anthracite
coal trust has merely taken advantage OF
the peoples necessities, knowing full
we'll that there is. nothing to hinder it
from 80 doing. 1t has monopoly Of the
market and experience has taught it that
il has nothing to fear from the attorney
generals department at Washington.
The administration regards the election
as an endorsement Of the policy OF non
interference and unemployment OF the
antitrust laws already upon the statute
books.
The situation is this. The coal trust
knows that it can get the additional %
cents ton 70, its product, so it increases
the price. The people have TO have the
coal The trust adds nothing to the
wages OF its miners, and the increase Of
% cents per ton means an additional
profit to the trust. There is no competi.
ton in the anthracite coal business. The
trust controls most OF the mues and all
OF the avenues OF distribution. II the
miners strike::for living wage the trust
magnates merely starve the miners into
submission and then make the public
pay the loss. II it decides to meet the
demands OF the miners it merely adds
the increased wages to the price the con-
sumner must pay. When it is not en-.
gagged in robbing the miners it is robbing
the public, and most OF the time it is
deliberately robbing both. 1t defies
national and state laws, knowing full
we'll that it has nothing to fear at Wash.
ington, and nothing 70 fear from the
authorities Of the most corrupt state gov
eminent in the Union-Pennsvlvan
Its insolence lie collosal, its greed I'M
bounded and its opportunities immense.
William R. Hearst has already pre-
scented to the legal department of the
government evidence to convict the an.
thracite mine owners OF criminal con-
spiracy under the Sherman antitrust
law. but while the people either freeze
or submit to the trusts extortions, the
legal department OF the government
moves leisurely along without making
any apparent effort to be OF service to
it's employers-the people.
