Chicago has 5000 drunkards who are
more or less a burden on the commu-
nifty, aud the question is being agitated
whether the Interests responsible for
making them membranes instead OF
useful members Of society should not be
taxed for their maintenance. The H.
cense paid by saloons In the Windy
City amounts TO $1,000 annually. but the
sum hardly pays that part OF the ex-
psnses u the police force incurred in
maintaining order and preventing the
crime promoted by unresirained in
diligence IN drink. let alone supporting
those made incapables Of by the habit.
The question Is a serious one. but Il II

forest fire is burning within a few
miles of this place. Sparks from the
engines of Great Northern trains
started the fire which has now burned

Ammunition For the Navy.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Shells and
projectiles for the navy department
will, after June 80, 1906, be purchased
by the bureau Of ordnance in the open
market, instead OF as is now the prac.
tice, in secret markets. from firms en-.
gagged in the manufacture of these ar.
ticles. This change in existing con.
ditions was brought about through
the efforts of the chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, Mr.. Tawney
of Minnesota, who offered an amend
ment to the naval appropri riation bill
which the house had under considera-
ton today, directing that the secretary
of the navy should advertise for pro-
posals for shells and projectiles so
that all firms engaged in the business
of their manufacture may have an op-
portunity to compete.

Tricks Of the Oil Trade.

CHICAGO, May 12.-F. S. Hibbs, OF
Peoria, for thirteen years an employe
of the Standard Oil company, told the
interstate commerce commission of q
number of tricks of the trade" which
the witness said were used by sales.
men and agents of the Standard Oil
company. Witness named five towns
in Illinois where he had convinced
customels by trickery that the oil of
the Standard Oil company was SUI
perior, when, as matter OF fact, it
was inferior.
Witness later joined the indepen.
dents, where he said it was not neces.

however, that some 'fake games
were played when necessary, to cause
trouble and expense for the Stand ard .

Politicians Are Suspicious.

WASHINGTON, May l2.--The recent
announcement in the Butte Miner that
Senator w. A. Clark would not again
be o candidate for the senate has
caused some comment among Wash.
'ington politicians, and in view Of the
senator's well.known ambition to
lag ain represent Montana in the sen.
ate, has been received here with the
broad smile of incredulity. 1t is gen.
orally considered that his announce.
ment is in the nature of q standof to
the many demands on him from demo-
cratic politicians at home for the
sinews of war. 1t is the belief here
that Clark wishes to avoid campaign
personalities, but in the event the leg.
islature is democratic he will then be
"induced to accept" another term.
Clark voted with the republicans on
several important amendments to the
rate bill-a fact that has occasioned
much talk among the minority sena'
tors.

ST. PAUL, May 1l.-Three Mime
sofa directors Of the paper trust paid
fines OF 600 each in the federal court

SENATE DISCUSSES AMENDMENTS,
Several Proposed Changes In Rate Bill
Are Voted Down

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Bailey's non.suspension amendment,
applying to orders Of the interstate
commerce commission as covered by
the railroad rate bill. which has oc-
cupied so much of the attention of the
senate in connection with the bill, was
today adversely disposed of by the de-
cisive vote of q to 54, practically y
party vote. The debate on the pro-
vision was limited to brief political
speech by its author, in which he said
the president had changed his attitude
on the question of maintaining the
rates fixed by the commission until
the courts reach final decision.
An amendment offered by Senator
Rayner confining the court review to
constitutional questions. was also
voted down. The only amendments
accepted during the day were those Of
fered by Senator Allison striking out
the phrase "fairly remunerative." in
the provision allowing the interstate
commerce commission to fix rates:
limiting the operations of orders OF
the commission to two years, and
making the interstate commerce COM
mission the defendant in suits chal.
lenging the rates fixed by it.
The anti.pass provision heretofore
adopted was again discussed. 1t is
evident that it will be modified.
The senate was again today made
aware of the popular opposition to
the anti.pass amendment to the rate
bill. being deluged with kilograms OF
protest, which came principally from
railroad employees, and were presented
by Senators Cullom, Warner, Nor.
gan, Foraker, McCrary, Frye, Bev'
eridge, Allison and Dick.
Most of the senders of the dispatches
complained of the injustice done them
in depriving them Of the privilege
heretofore enjoyed. Most OF the SEN

The Presidents Acknowledgements.

WASHINGTON, May u.-Congress
this year will make an appropri alton
to pay for the railroad transportation
of the president when he travels
through the country. Congressman
Littauer of New York has advocated
this action in order th at the president
may not be placed under obligation
to any railway for free trans sporta,ion, /,
which has been accepted by occupants
of the white house many years.
just how large will be the item at
tached to the sundry civil bill for this
service has not yet been determined.
1t will vary from year to year. In
years when the president does little
travelling $4,000 will probably be
enough to pay for the special trains
on which he and his guests travel.
When the president "swings around
the circle" probably s25, 200 year
will be needed. For many administra- a.
tions the railroads have not only been
willing but eager, to provide special
trains for the president, whenever he
chose to travel. Not only these trains
and their nsportation over various
railways, but also the provisions for
meals, drinks and cigars are provided
to the presidential party free oi
charge. When President Roosevelt.
advocated railway regulation by the
government, the practice of acceptance
of free transportation became EN-.
barrassing.
The embarr assment has become even
more marked since many OF the great
railways have announced that they
have cut of their practice of issuing
passes to public men and private
citizens.

May Prosecute Railroad Men.

CHICAGO, May l2.-As a result of
the testimony of Joseph Tucker, ch air.
man of the Central Freight associa-
ton, in the Standard Oil hearing on
Friday, the 63 members OF the associa-
,ion may find themselves in contempt
of the United States supreme court for
violating the injunction issued to pre-.
vent them from cooperating in fixing
rates.
Tucker testified that the rate tor the
Stands ard Oil company had been fixed
by the concensus of opinion OF the
members of the association. The at.
torney general of the United States
will be asked to file papers against
the mem bers of the association to have
them punished for contempt.
