Washington, Feb. 20.-The bureau Of
corporations has received offers of as
slstance from all parts of the country
IN prosecuting the investigation against
the Standard Oil company. Many men
who were ruined in Pennsylvania by
Standard. Oil methods went to the
southwest when oil was found there,
tactics are being resorted to by the
Standard Oh company there is in the
early days in PENNSYLVANIA.
The interstate commerce commission
will probably be asked to investigate
charges that the Santa Fe road gave
rebates to the Standard Oil company in
Kansas. This may involve Secretary
Morton, who was vice president Of the
santa fe when the rebates are alleged
to have been first given. =
Pres1 dent Roosevelt has exonerated
Morton in connection with { charges
growing out Of rebates to the Colorado
FUEL q Iron company, and it may be
Morton has an equally good excuse in
this latest case provided the rebates
have actually been given. He said to
the president, when questioned about
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company re-
bates, that those rebates were given bv
his subordinates and he knew nothing
about them, and to make his claim good
ne mas been working overtime to give
the administration all the information
in his possession about the Santa Fe
and other roads that would strengthen
the administration policy Of securing
rate legislation. =,
The additional charges fled by Rep
resentative Campbell Of Kansas with
the department. Of commerce and labor
include this Standard-Oil rebate, and
| 1t IS understood that the bureau Of cor
porations will investigate these charges
! along. with those fled earlier by M.
| Campbell. -

Amendment Sustained by
Iowa Judge.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Feb. 20.-Every office
holder in the state, from governor to
road supervisor, has had his term of
office extended by virtue Of the decision
Of Judge Evans Of the Story county
district court, in sustaining the validity
of the biennial elections amendment.
The "standpat' element Of the re.
publican party opposed the amendment
and instigated the attack upon it. The
defeat of this element means that there
will be no state conventions this year
and that Cummins will defer his cam
paign for United States senator a year
The court holds that the five divisions
Of the amendment which the contest
ants insisted should have been sub
mitted to the people as separate amend
ments were integral parts Of the one
proposition, and We're necessary to make
the measure properly operative.
According to previous agreement be
tween the persons to the suit, an appea
to the supreme court will be taken i'm
mediately.

While Bay State Farmers Would

Negro School.
New York Sun Special Service.

Pittsfeld, Mass, Feb. 2O.-Farmers In
the town of Sandersfeld, in the south
east end of Berkshire county, held a
meeting the other day to determine
what could be done to stop the inva-
sion of Jews. They signed an agree;
ment not to sell their farms without
first calling meeting Of the American
farmers and offering their land for what
the Jews will give.
The Jewish colony has bought up land
all about that town, and now numbers
nearly 100 persons. At first the ap-
pearance of Jews did not excite any IN
rest. They obtained options on poor
farms, and bought them at low fig
ure. Others followed, and one by one
better places were made over to Jew
ish owners. They organized schools,
built a synagogue, and the colony CON
tinued to grow.
Where the American farmers had
given their attention to tilling the soil
the Jews, turned to farming on an
other and more profitable line. They
began raising poultry, which was
shipped on the community plan to New
York. They bought their supplies II
large quantities in New York. This
gave shopkeepers offense and the agita
tiop began.
So strong has grown the feeling that
Jews now have to buy their farms thru
real estate dealers in Winsted ant
Great Darlington.

the mixture, but the poison had been
used in such large quantity that it
served as it's own emetic.

The contents of her stomach and the
water left in the bottle were analysed
by a chemist. Sufficient poison was
found to kill dozen persons, had it
been used with any Judgment:
and detectives are working on the case
Several servants, it is believed, are
being closely watched.

Stanford's nurse at the time of the
