outdone - IN courtesy by rival tribal
his finger and offered it to Miss Roose-
welt. Her refusal would have meant
offense to the oriental monarch, so she
gracefully accented the gift.
Members of the Taft party who have
| arrived here from the orient tell Of
| the incident and add that the daughter
of the president almost became the in
nocent cause Of a tribal war.
When the. Taft party arrived at Mala-
| bang the sultan took great care that the
party was properly entertained. The
tribesmen gave an exhibition of sports
and games and the sultan was dressed
for the occasion in suit of American
clothes. In the evening he appeared
in his full royal regalia and presented
embossed bolos, spears and krisses. Miss
Roosevelt seemed very much pleased.
Then came JOHANN, a rival chieftain
and with much ceremony offered a
string of pearls as his gift The gift
of JOHANN seemed to please Miss Roose'
welt more than the spears and bolos
and she danced away to show the pearls
| to her friends.
The sultan fairly snarled at his rival
and strobe to Miss Roosevelt. He made
a low obeisance and then offered the
gold circlet that he had taken from
| his finger. Miss Roosevelt's smiles
seemed to brush away his rage, for he
cast sidelong glance of superiority at
the hated JOHANN.

STICKNEY CHARGE
IS FLATLY DENIED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Has Not Disseminated, Says
It's Secretary.
BY w. w. yermane.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Secretary E..
A. Moseley of the interstate commerce
commission today made an authorltlve
: denial of the charge made by President
!, A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great
| Western road, the interstate commerce
anticipated rebate prosecution in favor
of certain roads. He said:
Mr.. Stickney goes back to the time
when the commission was first beginning
its rebate prosecutions, and the prosecu-
tions resulted In injunctions against f1f-
teen roads, which were sustained by the
supreme court of the United States and
are now in force. After the injunctions
! had been secured, some of the roads In
interest wanted the commission to pro-
coed against nearly all the other roads
in the country but there was no speci-
fled proof of violation of the law offered,
and consequently no such general action
was taken.
IS. Ready to Hear Charges.
3 The commission is at all times willing
to consider charges Of violation Of law
against any railway without distinction.
It has always taken cognizance of every
complaint made investigated it thoroly
and submitted the evidence obtained to
the department Of justice. In some in
stances the department Of justice has re-
ported that the evidence was insufficient
and opposed prosecutions. But If Mr..
Stickney anybody else will bring notice
] of a specific violation of the law to the
attention of the authorities, I can assure
/ him on the part Of the department. of
justice and the commission that prosecu-
ton will follow.
In the press dispatches this morning
Mr.. Stickney makes only a general state
ment Of discrimination In favor, of a few
roads, but there is nothing specific, and
!! he does not offer anything on which the
commission can act.
Is Mr.. stickney Did Not Appear.
& MI. Moseley said that about the
time the commission was considering
the question of prosecuting roads for
granting rebates, there were several
conferences between the commission
and representatives of the roads of all
parts of the country. Not one Of the
meetings, according to Mr.. Moseley,
was attended by Mr.. Stickney, or a
representative Of his road. The prom
Use was that the roads themselves
would employ men to gather evidence
of rebating and would do everything
in their power to stop illegal practices.
"They employed man to secure this
evidence said Mr.. Moseley, "and
the first time he reported case to the
commission, off went his head.''
