JEROME ON TRUSTS.
Everything Touched by Them In

Everything Touched by Them I'm. proves, Says New York Lawyer. One of tie points of the Ottawa (Kan.) Chautauqua always has been that if possible its speakers shall ad- yocate reform of some sort. The pro- yramme was arranged this year with especial reference to just that princi- pie, the officers of the assembly select ing Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin, Thomas W. Lawson of Boston and William Travers Jerome, district attor- ney of New York, says dispatch from Ottawa, Kan. Mir. Jerome, who spoke the other day, said in part:
 You of the west have kept and do keep a vital interest in everything, and for that I admire you. You are fitted with good minds out here, and you look at the world with healthy eyes and rare minds You lack the cyniclsm of the east, but you should not forget how differently we live. In the west you make mistakes sometimes, of course-a bad bond for state treas urer is taken or you have bad failure but you pick up courage and go ahead into the field of commerce and make another start. Those things are experiments with you.
 Tn the east, with its dense popula- ton, we cannot try those experiments. 1 We must be conservative. You think of us as effete customers, crushed be- heath the iron heel of Pierpont Mor- gans, Russell Stages and such, and we think of you as downtrodden Kan sans. You think of Wall street and you groan.
 My dear people, Wall street has le- gitimate functions. Who is building your railroads, digging your wells, financing your great undertakings if not Wall street? When you strike a blow at the financial interests of the country you hurt yourselves. This may not please you, but did not come all the way out here to say something to please you.
 All this talk about trusts is mostly nonsense. tell you, and I hold no brief from the trusts, that no man has been in position to know more of the lniquities of trusts than I have, and yet I declare that nothing in this coun- try has been touched by a trust that has not grown and improved. Despic- able a man as is John D. Rockefeller, you have only to look at your country crossroads to find men, in a smaller way. doing exactly as he has done.
 This is business, and business is war. This is commerce, this is con- petition-it is war ard strife. l do not say that this is moral. It is i'm. moral. But don't tell me that if the men at the crossroads had more power they would not use it to their own ad, vantage or that they would use it any better than Rockefeller uses it."

THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1905.

It's long lane that has no turn, and our own Chauncey Depew. the polished after dinner speaker is beginning to realize the truth of the saying Ryan and Cleveland and Morton are turning the lights on for fair. Prosecutor Jerome was bowling for facts and look ing for material a few weeks ago, so that he might be able to get after the manipulators of the Equitable. He has both now let him sail in and put the men responsible for all the trouble De- hind the bars. and in the meantime give poor old Tammany a much need ed rest.

Next Decorative Crnxe.

The swing of the pendulum of fash ion is cratic but inevitable, says the London Decorator. For the past dee ade or more decoration had all been tending toward quaintness and new art" and now that the arts and crafts movement has fairly reached cheap wall papers and shilling photo frames the reaction has set In. So far as one can judge at present the next craze will be the Queen Anne and Georgian. The cult is now spreading rapidly.

RESENTED CONDUCT OF
THE HEARTLESS KEEPER

Because Superintendent Mcdonald Of
the workhouse refused to allow her to
infict corporal punishment on the other
prisoners, Letitia Patterson became de-
spondent yesterday. She attempted to
end her life by drinking a bottle of
liniment-the kind advertised as good
for man and beast. It was not particu-
larly good for women as Letitia dis
covered to her sorrow.
Letitia is serving a sentence for
drunkenness, and altho suffering with
rheumatism, is able to stand up for her
rights. Yesterday female fellow pris-
oner made a face at her as she passed
thru the laundry. Letitie, chagrined. at
the affront, retaliated with blow
straight from the shoulder. The facial
contortionist was counted out. Letitia
had knocked her SO far that it required
several minutes for her to come back
Then followed a reprimand by the
stern superintendent. kititia was com
pletely unnerved: Shortly afterwar6
the matron took her to her cell to give
the daily treat ment for the rheuna
tism. While the matron s back was
turned Letitia snatched up the bottle
Of mysterious drugs and nearly drained
it.
Strong emetics and antidotes were ad
ministered and by night Letitia was de
clared out of danger.
This morning she was heard to sa,
that Hwhen woman had served tn
city faithfully as long as she had, an,
couldn It have a little innocent fun, i
was time for her to die.'

EQUALIzE:Rs' WORK
WILL BE REVIEWED.
WRIT OF CERTIORARI ISSUED TO-
DAY BY JUDGE SIMPSON.
Petition Of Benjamin r. Coppage
Brought About the Issuance Of the
Order-Offlc1als Directed to Appear
on Feb. 27--Coppage Alleges Irregu-
larities in the Conduct of Business.

- Upon the petition of Benjamin R.
morning issued a writ Of certiorari di-
rected to the state board Of equaliza-
tion. The writ has been served upon
the secretary Of the board. State Au-
ditor Iverson, and Former Governor S.
+. Van SAINT. These officials are or
dered to appear, before the court on
Feb n. and SUBMIT nit a report Of the the
board and all Of their proceedings.
The action is the long-expected g first
move' of the local business men to
invalidate the arbitrary increase in
Hennepin 8 personal tax assessment
The petition was submitted to the su.
preme court yesterday, but the JUS
tees were opposed to issuing write.
The issuance of writ brings all the
proceedings Of the board up for review
and will precipitate legal fight, in
volved in it's nature and one that will
be watched by taxpayers all over the
state.
Mr.. Coppage, represented by his at
torneys, Hall Kolliner and G. H. Ross
man attacks the validity of the board Is
action on several grounds. He alleges
that the board was not constituted &C
cording to the statutes; that the mem
the board did not meet daily; that nc
daily record of the proceedings was
kept; that the raise in valuation was
made without equalization, without uni
formity, without comparison and was
done maliciously.
It is probable that the first move on
the part Of the defendants will be 9
motion to quash the writ. This will
probably be made on Jan. 81.

TRIO IS IN The TOLLS
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES ARE
PUSHING A VIGOROUS CAM
PAIGN AGAINST ALLEGED
SWINDLERS.

Harvey Rogers, Percival R. Ross and
woman whose name is withheld were
arrested yesterday afternoon by
United States Marshal Grimmshaw. The
trio is charged with using the mails to
defraud. The men were arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Alb
bott and held for the federal grand
jury. In default Of bail, fixed at
81 900 each, they were taken to Jail.
The woman was released with instruc-
tions to appear before the grand jury
in April. - "a
Rogers was arrested at his office in
the Bank of Minneapolis building and
Ross was found at his home at Six
teenth avenue S. The arrests resulted
from Investigations by Inspectors Sim
mons and Tullis of st. Paul and are in
line with the efforts of the postal au-
thorities to prevent fraudulent use Of
| the mails. The scheme of Rogers and
| Ross is said to have involved the pub
LEGATION Of want ads, the aim of which
was to open a correspondence with
prospective victims: Rogers is said
to have conducted the "Winter Rem
edy Company, which offered $40 a
week for letters copied at home. The
federal authorities say that when the
letters asking for particulars were re-
ceived, the course Of procedure was to
ask payment of 81 for which copying
materials and letters to be copied
would be returned. Rogers is accused
Of having appropriated the dollars to
himself. Ross is accused of having op.
Grated the "Guaranty Advertising
Coz along similar lines. =.
Both men were former postof6ce en-
ployees who had been dismissed. Rog.
ers was indicted for opening letters
two years ago and Ross was arrested
last spring on a similar charge. The
men were acquitted at their hearings.

ARE STILL AT LIBERTY
Hlghwaymen Who Shot Emil Roggatz
Evade Clutches of the Police.

After working nearly forty-etght hours
on the hold-up at the residence O." Dr.
Phillip Mueller, III which Emil Roggatz
was shot and seriously wounded, the po-
lice seem to be at sea. Two suspects were
in police court this morning on charges vi
vagrancy, but have vindicated themselves
so far as the robbery Is concerned:
Chief of Police Doyle says the o11lcers
are not working entirely upon the theory
that the bandits were members OF the
gang in South Minneapolis which mas
caused so much trouble. He says that the
fleeing of the men in that direction may
have been done to mislead the police.
Emil Roggatz, the coachman, still IAN
cuisines between life and death. The ply
sicians have been unable to locate the
bullet which entered his abdomen ano
thew have little hope Of his recovery.
The wounded man was removed lron1
the city to the Swedish hospital this morn
ing, where he Is under the care OF DTS
F, A. Dunsmoor and Phillip Mueller nc
was very weak this afternoon, but the
surgeons are doing everything IN the11
power to save his life| The nature OF the
wound is such that the outcome is mat
ter Of conjecture.
Roggatz thinks he is going to die. Yes
terdav afternoon he made an ante morten
statement to Assistant County Attorney
+. F. Bernhagen, in which he told all the
circumstances of the hold-up and his owl
INJURIES He says that he did not otte1
to resist the holdup men nor does he re-
member making any move that could pf
interpreted as resistance.

GATIONAI CHURCH ''GYM''

A squad of university athletes and
strong men under DR.. Cooke, are to add
to the entertainment at the Park Ave-
nue. Congregational church gymnasium
this evening. The program will wind
up with a tug Of war, on the new uni
versity cleats, between two teams Of
strong men. The teams will be COM
posed of five men each, and will contain
some familiar faces from last year g
football squad. Brush and Vita will
probably act as anchor men in the con-
test.
DR.. Cooke will start the program by
calling for an impromptu GYM class
Of men from the audience. This class
will be made up entirely of the unini-
tiated and DR.. Cooke will give them
little taste of his medicine. The au-
dience will incidentally get a few hints
on exercise without apparatus. The
Park avenue "gym'' singers, q male
quartet consisting Of Kinsman fowler,
, Richard Stone, Paul Geissler, and Rob

TWIXT LOVE AND DUTY
VARSITY DAILY THREATENED BY
FACULTY AND BY AN IRATE
HOLDER OF A CONTRACT.

AS result of running saloon adver-
tisement in the Minnesota Daily, the
managers fear both the action of the
faculty and the wrath of Bill Curran,
whose liquors have received a boost in
the last two issues of the daily.
On one hand is thep utilization com
mittee Of the faculty, headed by Pro
fessor Anderson demanding that the
beccr ADVERTISING be discontinued: On
the other is Billy Curran who holds q
contract for the Insertion Of his "ad''
for three months.
If the advertisement is run the stu
dent managers see visions. Of yellow
suspension slips. if it's discontinued
Mr.. Curran may sue the corporation for
breach of contract.
It is either "before the faculty. or
"before the COURT and after careful
consideration the daily staff has about
decided to take it's chances before the
bar Of justice and maintain its standing
in college.
