A KANsAN ON THE TRAIL
Campbell Gets After Standard Oil In
the House.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The discussion
on the railroad rate measure today was
begun by Mr. Campbell (Kan.).
With the avowed intention Of reach
ing the Standard Oil company, Mr..
Campbell offered an amendment which
he will press later, emphasizing the
placing Of all private car and transpor-
tatioT facilities under the regulation of
the interstate commerce commission.
He quoted from the testimony of rail
road officials, showing that the beef
packers practically make their own
rates, the Standard Oil company had
dictated in the same Manner. poultry,
fruit and dairy products were subject
to the same control.
Reverting to the Standard Oil COM
pany, Mr.. Campbell declared:
But yesterday they issued a decree
to the attorney general and the govern
or of Missouri that further prosecution
of suit now pending in the court
against them must be stopped or they
will destroy the value Of billions and
billions of property within the state
Of Kansas and the Indian Territory.
Ye. gods, exclaimed Mr.. Camp
bell after he had read the statement
from an officer of the STANDARD Oil
company announcing that if the prose-
iff5ns F1T did cease tfie
producers fof5. oil in that section would
lack facilities to market their product,
the power of monopoly stopping the
prosecution of suits pending in the
court by threatening the innocent pro-
Queer. And the beef packers today in
Chicago are claiming immunity from
prosecution for crimes committed be-
cause they admitted their crimes with
what they. considered to be an implied
understanding that they would not be
! prosecuted -

SENTENCED TO CELLS

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Isaac Hartman,
Justice Of the peace in the village. Of
Harvey, twenty miles from this city,
Michael J. Maloney, an attorney, and
Harry Nye, private detective, were to-
day found guilty Of blackmail, and SEN
fenced to indeterminate terms in the
penitentiary..
It was shown during the trial that the
men had extorted $4,000 from Rev.
Lawrence A. Erhard, Roman Catholic
priest in charge Of the Church of the
Epiphany in this city. Nye, carrying
warrant issued by Justice Hartman,
called on the priest and threatened him
with publicity in connection with ser
!. ious charges unless he paid them $4,000
Mr.. Erhard denounced the charges as
utterly false, but dreading the trouble
that would follow refusal, paid over
the money. Later, when an effort was
made to secure 81 900 additional from
him. the priest mentioned the matter tc
some of his friends, and the arrest OF
the men followed. :

John Mitchell Delivers Ultimatum
to the Mine operators for
the Mine Workers.

Indianapolis, Jan. 31.-John Mitchell,
president Of The United Mine Workers
of America, addressing the joint scale
committee Of the central competitive
district today, said:
There must be an increase in wages
or there will be no agreement.
Tn his ultimatum today to the opera
tors, President Mitchell did not men
tion any percentage of increase. It is
generally recognized that his statement
is backed by the almost unanimous SEN
timent Of the miners delegates and
that the minimum increase that would
be accepted without a struggle will be
5.55 per cent, which was the amount Of
the decrease in wages two years aga.
Presidents Mitchell called attention to
the general prosperity Of the country.
Why shouldn't the miners enjoy
their share Of this prosperity2 Must
the miners stop now9 Is TINS their end {?
Have they no future?' These were
questions he asked Of the operators in a
deliberate manner. In concluding his
remarks he said: "I IN making this
statement SO that you gentlemen will
know where stand when it comes to a
point in this conference whether to
agree or not to agree.

opening of the courtmartial today,
Lieutenant G. S. BoohWalter. o. S. M,
addressed the court in behalf Of Mid

that there should be recommendation
Of clelnency to the reviewing authority.

ROOSEVELT TURNS
DOWN RATE JOKER
President Rejects the U1timatum
of the Senate Railroad
Triumvirate.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal,
Chicago, Jan. 31.-A Washington
special to the Chicago Tribune says:
President Roosevelt has rejected de-.
cisively the ultimatum of the senatorial
triumvirate, Aldrich, Elkins and Kean,
with reference to the amendment they
declared must be made to. the Dolliver
passage by the senate. The president
did not mince words in describing his
attitude.
81 will not accept it," he said en-
phatically, "under any circumstances. !"
This amendment, which appears at
first blush to be a compromise gave
the interstate commerce commission
power to fix rates, but it DESTROYED the
value of this concession by giving the
railroads the right to appeal to the
courts in case Of any injustice In
other words, the interstate commerce
commission might fix a reasonble maxi
final. The courts would haye the re-
viewing authority. The commission
would be in this case merely an obsta-
Gle in the way Of prompt decision OF
any complaint of unreasonable rates.
It would be a hindrance which would
better be out Of the way.
Dolliver Saw President.
t Senator DoIliver saw the president
Iabout the amendment. When it was sub,
mitted to President Roosevelt week
ago, friends of Aldrich, Elkins' and
Kean say the president tentatively, ex:
pressed his approval of it. s
It was pointed out to him that there
were many measures pending IN con.
gress which must be passed fc,r his own
vvindication. The Santo. Domingo
treaty, for instance, can be ratified only
! if all the republicans stick together
and are joined by some democrats. The
Philippines tariff bill, which was passed
| by the house, is in a perilous position
| in the senate committee. The statehood
bill is possible Of passage, according tc
conservative senators, only by the adop
tion of the Foraker amendment which
authorizes a vote Sc the people f:sthe
territories on the question Of statehood
But the, president is not frightened
Eby the bogies which are being fauntec
before his eyes. He wants the Sante
DOMINICAN treaty ratified and he want!
