REpRIMENDA SOLEMNB

Hace dias sa1i6 en- ell rPetit Pari-
sien" el resultado de una ertvl> &
de su corresponsal Castor Rich ~
que fue seguir de cerca las negocia-
clones de paz, con el Presidente Roo
sevelt en- Oyster Bay. La entrevis-
ia fue telegra6ada los Estados Uni
dos y publicada en- a1gdn periodico
del IS.
AL Presidente Sc le hacia decir que
la guerra ruso-japonesa habia sido in
necesaria, indtil y desdicha ia,
ducto, de una mala inteligencia, que
Sc Ia hubiera podido evitar con faci-
lidad; que los japoneses hab{an dado
pruebas de un patriotismo, de un va
lor y abnegacion extraordinarios,
como para sorprender los occiden-
tales, que va no exhibfan algunas de
estas virtudes de sus antepasados;
que habia aconsejado a los japoneses
desistir de la indemnizaci6n por inco-
brable, pero que la victoria diploma.
tica era de Witte, que Sc acercaba
el tempo en- que Europa y Americ
tendrfan que coaligarse, no mi1itar,
sino comercialmente, para competir
con el Japon.
A este responde el Pre- .lente Roo.
sevelt con la siguiente carta dirigida
FOR su secretario particular William
Loeb M. Richard:

que vuestra entrevista con 81, 6 10 que

una absolute invenci6n, sin base de
verdad, sino que vuestra conducta en-
obtener permiso para verle bajo pre-
textos engafIosos no puede ser mas
afrentosa.
Cuando whistles a yer al Presiden-
te, le informasteis que erals nieto del
mariscal Augereau; que os habiais
hallAdo en- la batalla de Mukden con
el ejercito russo, y despues con el ja-
pones; que reconocfais no pcder te-
ner entrevista de ninguna clase, y que
solo os anima ba el deseo de ofrecerle
vuestros respetos.
"Bajo tales circunstancias ell Presi-
dente os recibio y escuch6 10 que lie
dijfsteis acerca de vuestras experien-

John Shenick 220 South Peoria

during a political campaign, l

doses that day, kept right on
talking through the campaign,

"To Die at Dawn.

S"To Die at Dawn" is a title
that is calculated to fill the gal
leries to overlooking and start d
riot downstairs in case there
should be any slip in the final
oyerpowering of the villain. II
suggests blood and thunder with
Northern Lights accompaniment,
such as is reached only in the
most sensational of sensational
melodramas. People who go to

appointed if they expect this.
They will see a melodrama found
ed on feud life in Kentucky and
a very faithful presentation it is.
There is a lot of sensational bus
mess, but these scenes are natural
enough and the lines are written
in true Southern dialect and pos.
sess a quality of logic seldom
found in present day melodramas.

of a cultured Kentucky girl with

No Waste Room
N the Body

A muscle or ligament that CON
tracts will get bothS> shorter and
thicker. There is no waste room
in the body-eyery but OF space is
exactly filed by some structure.
If a muscle or ligament is thick
-ened it will encroach upon some
softer structure, like a blood YES
sci, and limit or stop its work or
if a nerve is pinched, irritation
may: develop so as to .exaggerate
its action. If hose is stepped
upon, water will not flow through
it; if a telegraph wire is ground
ed, it will not transmit a message;
so with nerves and blood vessels
when, they become abnormally
pressed between the bones and
muscles, as at disturbed joints IN
the spine or limbs.
.Osteopathy ascertains where
characteristic mechanical troubles
have developed in the body in ev-
cry disease-and the diseases due
to such causes, in whole or part,
are legion. Practically all dis
eases may be caused by mechanl-
cal disturbance. By removing
these abnormal conditions, Oste-
.opathy enables the body to re-
cover from it's diseases 1t takes
the ground that these known and
yerifable distractions to natural
bodily. processes would better be
removed to coax back health than
drugging> the body in such a way
as to hide the effects of such dan
gerous physical handicaps, which
has been the most popular sort OF
practice in the past. In a word,
-Osteopathy removes the cause;
cure naturally follows. ..-. d.

STANDARD OIL HAS
VIOLATED THE Law
DECLARES ATTORNEY GENERAL
HADLEY OF MISSOURI.
Must Appear in Court March % and
Show Cause Why They Should
Not Be Ousted.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 19.-Her-
bert s. Hadley, attorney general for
Missouri, said today that he has evil
dence that will show that the Stand
ard Oil Co. has flagrantly violated the
Missouri antitrust law. Mr.. Hadley
filed suit Friday against the Stand
ard and its subsidiary companies ope-
rating in Missouri.
In response to his petition, Judge
Marshall, of the supreme court cited
the Standard, the Waters-Piece Oil
Co., and the Republic Oil Co., to ap-
pear in court March 20 and show
cause why proceedings should not be
instituted to oust them from the
state
About two months ago." said Mr..
Hadley, my attention was called to
the fact that the three companies
named in the petition control 95 per
cent of the oil trade in Missouri, and
that the Standard Oil Co. controls the
other two companies named, in viola
tion of the antitrust law Of the state.
believe that | have evidence that
will show that the Waters-Pierce Co.
is controlled by the Standard, and
that the trade of the state has been
divided between these two companies.
There is also evidence that will show
that while the Republic Oil Co. is ap-
parently an Independent company,
it is used TO supply customers who
from prejudice or other causes, prefer
not to patronize the Standard.
These acts and policies bring the
Standard within the provisions Of the
antitrust law, for the three compa-
nies are no more Independent of each
other than would be three grocery
stores owned by the same man. The
supreme court of Missouri has decided
that it is not lawful for apparently in
dependent companies, to be controlled
by one interest. 1t may take months
with the hearing of testimony in
many parts of the country, to estab-
lish my case, but l hope to win."

Bull CAR|AN BANDS
CAUSING TROUBLE
REPORTS OF oUTRAGEs ARE BE
COMING FREQUENT.
Attack on Monastery-Men Killed and
Women and Children Made
Prisoners.

Constantinople, March 19.-Advices
from Salonika state that the Bulga:-
ian bands are again causing trouble
and that reports of outrages are COM
ing in rapidly. The result of this
is tho relations between Greece and
Bulgaria are again stretched near
to the breaking point, the former gov
ernment claiming that the Bulgarian
government is not making any effort
to keep these bands under control
but permits them to ravage at will on
conditions that they confine their as
saults to Greeks and Turks.
At monastery near Vodena, a
band Of armed Bulgarians attacked a
party of Greek priests and the latter
must have been killed had not a party
of Greeks come to their rescue and at
tackled the Bulgarians. The latter
were beaten back leaving fifteen dead
behind.
Angered at their losses, the Bulgar-
ians attacked the village Of Mossim-
erion and ruthlessly massacred all
of the male inhabitants and carried
off the women and children. They
then terrorized the entire district OF
Vodena and so far have managed to
escape the troops that were sent to
punish them.
