Fired Shell At Car.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-A care
fully planned and one OF the nearest
successful attempts ever made to
asssssinate the Car took place here
to-day when q cannon loaded with
grape shot was fired at the imperial
party from across the Nsva river
during the course OF the festival Of
the Epiphany to-day That the
attempt failed was due to the slight
ly inaccurate aim OF the would-be
assassins, which caused the shots to
60 over the heads OF the party.

OF THE WAR
ON TRUSTS

Washington, Feb. 25-while the depart
ment OF justice officials have little 10 say
on the subject they are going ahead
with their preparations for the prosecu-
ton OF the Beef trust. which has already
been Instituted in TN. federal courts IN
Chicago.
II IL now admitted i'm official circles here
that the delay OF Commissioners OF Cor
porations Garfield. In making public his
report on the alleged violations OF law
by the trust. was due in large part 20 the
fact that he was cooperating with the
attorney general I'm the investigation
started by the latter soon after Judge
Grosscup returned an injunction against
the packers.
II was declared yesterday that publicity
was the watchword OF the administration,
but n was said that the president wanted
well-timed and not indiscrimlnste pub
licity II was OF the utmost importance
that the administration should not reveal
It's hands before IL was ready TO act.
and that was why Mr.. Garfield, II was ex-
planned, adopted a policy OF delay in his
work on the Beef trust.
while the packers were watching for the
Garfield report. II was added. the at
torney general and his assistants, aided
by the department OF commerce special
agents. were collecting evidence on which
the present cause is based.
REPORT NEARLY READY.
Promises have been made time and
again by Commissioner Garfield that his
beef report was nearing completion and
that he would soon place II In the hands
OF the president. II was said yesterday
that there was no rec son why the report
should be longer withheld.
Although this was holiday. Commis-
sioner Gsrfield made some progress In his
plans for the investigation OF the stand
ard oil company. He had in conference
with him about 30 special agents whom he
is instructing i'm ,he duties they are about
Ia perform.
That the Investigation would be thor
ough was shown by the fact that many
mel in the bureau who have hitherto new
81 been in the field. but who are regarded
as experienced lawyers, will he sent out
20 gather evidence. These meg will aug
nntnt a force already az work investigat-
inG the petroleum industrY.-
Representative Campbell OF Kansas, the
author OF the house resolution directing
the OIL investigation. said recently that he
war OF the opinion that Commissioners
Garfield himself would go into the Kansas
oil situation and personally direct the In
ouiry.
II have no more intention OF going to
Kansas than have OF going to Europe"
said Commissioner Garfield yesterday.

The local men interested In the two

that the vessels are lost and that they

feeling is more definitely hxed In the
minds OF the owners by reason OF the re-

two water-logged vessels have been sight
ed in the ocean and identified as the
wrecks of the missing vessels.
Charles r. Wilbur when seen last even

of the Wilbur had been picked UP off the

assured that Miss Russell has a comedy
part admirably suited to her. 1t is n
decided pleasure 10 see this charming
actress in comedy. Her part is original
and full, combining in the right proportion
intensity and force with convincing sim
cerity. She expresses womanly senti-
ment with an original and provoking
humor that is all her own and adds a
command OF pathos with the actors su-
preme gift OF compelling smiles and

Miss Julia West a leading member OF
"The Lost Boy" company at the Empire
theatre this week. is the daughter OF DR.
Edward West, president OF the board of
directors OF the National School OF De-
sign. At n recent meeting OF the board
she was presented with n vote OF thanks
for her efforts I'm securing for the board
a coveted Sevres vase. which mission she
accomplished during the past summer
while upon an extended European tour.
"The Lost Boy" with Edward Blondell
at the head Of n company of 80 singing
and dancing comedians, is the attraction
at the Empire theatre this week. Blondell
is, OF course. the bright particular star,
but he has been surrounded with com
pany OF we'll known farceurs and an un-
usually we'll trained and handsome
chorus OF pretty girls. The show was
constructed for laughing purposes only,
and although some OF the methods en-
ployed are not ms artistic az those OF
Goodwin and Jefferson, still the laughs
are there and that seems 10 he what the
public demands. There is Just enough
plot to keep the audience interested and
to form n background for the many musi-
cal numbers and song hits introduced.
