Russia Wants Alliance With Japan.

Russia Wants Alliance With Japan.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 13.-The
Move Vremya in an editorial depreciat-
es the optimism among the diplomats
regarding the movement toward peace.
Unless Japan, under her slogan, Asia
for Asiatics," recognizes that Russia
in her original history and destiny, is
an Asiatic as we'll as European power,
and is redy to conclude not peace but
an alliance, peace is not probable. The
editorial has caused something of a
sensation.

for good roads and better streets. He
ganization had been instrumental in
securing the passage of legislation for
good roads in 18 states and that the
work was still being prosecuted with
vigor by the officers of the Organiza-
ton. He declared that the system OF
allowing the taxpayers to work out
their road taxes was the wrong prac-
tice, claiming that with the ready
money mucn better and more econom-
ical work could be accomplished by
the counties and the state. The asso-
citation, he said, was heartily in favor
of asking for national and state aid in
building and keeping up roads. His
remarks were we'll timed and much
valuable information was impaired to
mis- hearers.

road inquiries for the United States
government spoke at length on the
subject of Education and Experiment
Work of the Government Division"
He told of the amount of good work
that had been carried on by the gov
ernment and cited the road construct
ed in Walla Walla county as an evil
dence of what could and was being
done.
William Bradburn, consulting engi-
neer of the national association, spoke
of Practical Road Building and Street
Construction" He showed that in
many cities good streets could be con-
structed at much lower figure than
was being paid by the city govern
ments and advised the city of Walla
Walla to ask the national association
to bring it's construction train to Wa1la
Walla and give the people a practical
demonstration of it's workings.
President S. B. L. Penrose gave
short address on the relation of good
roads to the educational institutions.

Columbus, o., Dec. 16.-Considerable
has been occasioned by the
action OF the Columbus Trades and
Labor assembly at Tuesday nights
aneeting in declinig to accept the SER
vices of a professor of the Chicago uni
versity to deliver Il curse OF lectures
here under the auspices of tie assem-
bly,. The assembly was asked to pay
u portion of the expenses of the pro-
~fessor and the assembly promptly de-
rlined to receive the services of the

the Chicago university has had John
ID. Rockefeller as a benefacta and it
lis almost entirely due to his contribu-
ttions that the university enjoys it's ex-
t~ensiveness and high rank in the edu-
.,ational world. One of the delegates
maintained that the professors at the
university of Chicago had to teach and
stand for the things that We're favored

ceased to do this their positions We're

THE %PENlTENTIARy
Attorney General Tells subordinates
Whom Possible, to Prosecute Rate
Rebaters for Co~nsiparcy. It

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16.-Attor.
ney General Moody has decided upon g
new departure in the matter Of prose-
cutting railroads and shippers for Civ.
Ing and receiving rebates which is ex.
tremely sensational. because it prac.
tically amounts to a reputation of the
Elkins law, and threatens imprison-
ment as a punishment for these of.
lenses, the one thing which hat meas
ure sought to eliminate.
The attorney general has gone to the
extent of calling attention to the fact
that under the Elkins law the only
penalty for violation is a fine.
The determination of the department
Of Justice to put a stop to rebates and
discrimination is shown by the fact
that it has become necessary to call
attention to the little joker which SEN
ator Elkins slipped into the law bearing
his name and which was passed less
than three years ago.
The attorney general advises his dis
trict attorneys throughout the country
to abandon prosecution under the Ell
kinS law whenever they can make out
a case of conspiracy, so that they may
be in a position to demand the penalty
Of Imprisonment for the guilty railroad
officials and shippers.
The Important Paragraph.
The paragraph of his official circular
containing this threatening instruction,
which may have a direct bearing on the
prosecutions at Chicago, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, says:
Under The Elkins law the only pen
atty for it's violation is a fine. 1 sug-
gest to you that in all cases where the
evidence would warrant it that an in
dictlment for conspiracy to commit an
offenses against the United States,
based upon section $40 Of the revised
statutes, be obtained. The supreme
court has held. in Cluny rs. United
States (159 United States. 500, $3.50,
that a conspiracy to commit a crime
itself punishable only by a fine, may
be punished by imprisonment.
I'm the event of obtaining a convic-
ton upon a charge of conspiracy OF
this lind you are directed to present
to the court the desirability of infict-
ing a penalty of Imprisonment to the
end that these unlawful practices
which have received almost universal
condemnation, may be discouraged and
prevented as far as the existing laws
will accomplish that result
