quarters, but the bill will not be lost
as it was at the last session If 1T gets
killed in the committee, for there will

an instance, though 1T is expected the
bill will be recommended by the COM
mittee The bill as outlined at the
hearing yesterday was pronounced the
best of any in force in any State by
some of the grocerymen present.
The state library has been called
upon tc give authorities In the matter
OF an OK team driver walking on the
off side. Books with illustrations
have been found in the state library
which show the driver on the Off
side, ard this is taken as prime facie
evidence that the artist has poetic IL
cense to put the driver where he wants
to. In the Blashfield painting at the
state house there is a woman walking
on the near side with stick In her
hand. and some took her for the driv-
er. The near" side is also the side
that is exposed in the painting. On
the off side there is seen a mans head
and shoulders, and it Is claimed that
he is the real driver and is out Of place
on that side.

is delaying to some extent the census

hoped soon to get the new men broken
in SO that the work will be hurried for
ward. The census volume is all
printed with the exception of the IN
PRODUCTION which will comprise about
200 pages and the financial tables at
the back of the book which will COM
prise quite number of pages. No
tice was served on the executive coun-
ell Yesterday Of the issuing of the
temporary injunction In the Atlantic
census case which stops the issuing
of the census volume. This may cause
more delay. 1t will be some time pc

submit that evidence to the grand jury,
with a view to securing an Indictment.
Whenever 1t is practicable, it is desir-
able that indictments should be re-
turned both against the shipper and
the carrier In some cases however,
ii may be impossible to obtain sufft-
cient evidence without the aid of the
testimony of one of the guilty parties
to the transactions In such a case 1t
would be wise to use such testimony
of course affording to the witness or
witnesses Immunity from prosecution.
Under the F,lkins law the only pen.
atty for its violation is fine. l sug-
gest to you, in all cases where the
evidence would warrant 1t, that an In
dictment for conspiracy to commit an
offense against the United States based
upon section $40 of the revised stat
ute. be obtained. The supreme court
has held in Clune VS.. United States
(159 u. S. 500, $3.50, that conspiracy
to commit crime, Itself punishable
only by fine, may be punished by M
prisonment. In the event of obtain
ing conviction upon charge of con-
spiracy of this kind, you are directed
to present to the court the deslraDli-
ity of inflicting the penalty OF I'M
prisonment, to the end that these un-
lawful practices, which have received
almost universal condemnation, may
be discouraged and prevented as far
as existing laws will accomplish that
result.
Your attention Is especially directed
to that part of the act which renders
unlawful any rebate, concession, or
discrimination in respect of the trans
portation of any property in interstate
or foreign commerce whereby any
such property shall by any device
whatever be transported at less rate
than named in the tariffs published
and filed.

Importance of using every effort to ex-

Fiaht-Letter is a Mild One.

Washington, Dec. 13.-In execution
of that portion Of the sentence Of
Midshipman Minor Meriwether Jr.,
requiring that he be publicly repri-

Secretary Bonaparte has addressed the
following letter to Meriwether at An
napoHs:
Sir: You have been duly convicted
Of violating clause three Of article eight
Of the articles for government of the
navy, by insulting and subsequently
assaulting one of your fellow midship-
men, and OF conduct to the prejudice
of good order and discipline by engag-
ing in a fist fight with the same mid
shipman. These offenses on your part
have led to a calamity SO clearly un-
forseen by you and so distressing that
no words of reproof can be needed to
make you feel their gravity. Your dis
obedience to the laws of your country;
your forgetfulness of the full import Of
your oath; your yielding to fierce and
angry passions when tempted by a
sense of wrong, have borne fruits so
bitter that your worst punishment has
been already suffered. The merciful
sentence Of the court which tried
you leaves you member of the hon.
orable profession you have chosen. In
that great school of self sacrifice and
obedience a life useful to your coun
try will, it is hoped, atone for the
grave faults which have clouded the
early years of your service. You will

and it win be entered on your official

NO CHA NcE FOR SUBSIDY.
Speaker Cannon Will Hear None OF
9Et This Term.

us This Term.
washington, Dec. 13.-It develops
that the ship subsidy measure stands
little chance this session because
Speaker Cannon opposes it and has
made up the house committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries against it.
One Of the speakers reasons for keep
ing Judge Birdsall on that committee
was because Judge Birdsall is not a
ship subsidy advocate. Cannon will
oppose such legislation thoroughly. 1t
has developed that the testimony be-
fore the merchant marine commission
showed that the steel trust was selling
ship steel abroad 35 to 40 per cent
cheaper than here, and that II the ship
subsidy legislation is pressed war over
the reduction of steel schedules and
"a general tariff fight is likely to be
stirred UP by democrats and revision
lists. This fear is likely to force high
tariff men to keep hands off ship sub
ei5y for this session.
