MCCARTHY ON "GRAf1. +"
Legislative Librarian Says "Conteatment"
Is Cause of Americas Degeneracy
in Official Life

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 1O-[Speciall
DR.. Charles Mccarthy, head OF the

the young men of the city yesterday
noon on some social problems. He sad
in part;
Graft can be traced to the same
source as the growth of trusts and mo-
nopoiies. The two particular manifesto.
tons i'll American life are trusts ana
graft. Go back to your history and YOU
will find that they have had their in
cipiency in carelessness and complacency.
We have allowed them to exist so long
and to get so strong, the trust has be-
come government of itself, outside Of
our government. They did not have the
interest and respect for the government
that other nations have Just now we
need more government to control trusts
Another source of graft is the ridiculous
situation of the laws, confused and
distorted and full of loop holes. People
making becomes more confused

Brown.
An appeal will be perfected at once.
The mother of Chester Gillette arrived
here last night. She inquired for the
jail and asked if she might go there,
but being assured that it was closed,
she retired. The authorities were skep-
teal as to the identity of the woman at
first, but satisfied themselves that she
was Mrs. Gillette.
After he had been sentenced Gillette
left the courtroom, not even speaking TO
his mother who sat by him. While the
son was led from court Mrs. Gillette pre-

possessions from their rooms. DR.. Clark

CHAPTER XVIII.

1t was on the next afternoon, near to
the setting of the sun, that Doctor Osbart
came to my room with great news for me.
'"This business with the men has COM
pletely upset our plans" said he. "Black
hoped to winter here; and to let the hub
bub in Europe quite subside before he
put to sea again. Now he can't do that.
There's only one thing that will keep the
hands quiet, and that's excitement. He
has determined to sail tonight: but. be-
fore we talk Of that, we must have the
conditions"
What have you to ask" said |.
"Simply this" he answered. ''You
shall give your word, as a man of honor,
that you will make no attempt to leave
the ship without permission"
81 accept"
Then slowly the great engines began
their work, and we swept out to the open
sea. We dined that night in the saloon
upon the deck, commodiors place light
ed by electricity, and IN every way luxuri-
ously fitted. The walls of it were paneled
in white and gold, and were covered with
curious designs, old heroes fighting. old
gods drawn by lions at their chariots
Jason seeking the fleece in a golden
barque; Orestes fleeing the Furies. The
long seats were covered in leather of a
deep crimson, and there was a small
piano. The dinner itself was admirably
served, and was partaken of by the deaf
and dumb engineer, by the doctor, the
Scotsman and myself. Black talked with
out reserve before me- knowing we'll that
1 could do him no injury. He relied
mostly on the doctor for advice, and dis
cussed everything with him in the best of
tempers.
MY plan is this" he said were short
of oil. and Karl here is beginning to get
uneasy. [ shall knock over couple of
yhalers in these seas and fill the tanks.
Then, as they're looking for us in mid
Atlantic. we'll get south of Madeira, and
run against two or three of the big ones
making for Rio or Buenos Ayres. We
shall pick up good bit of money; and
it'll be a month before they get on our
course that way, for l mean to let 'em
down light when it's not a case of saving
our own skin.
We passed the Danish settlement of
Godthaab early on the next morning,
though so far out at sea that l could
make nothing of it; while we lost the
coast of Greenland altogether before the
day had passed, hazy shower of dust
like snow greeting our coming to the
Atlantic and to perceptibly warmer lat
itude. During this day, and until we
sighted the Shetlands, the small screw
tender kept our course, and we exchanged
SIGNALS with her every morning.
Finally we sighted the coast of Ireland,
and I know not if l have ever had
greater pleasure than that distant view
It was as though l had passed from a
dead land to the land of man, from the
silent ways of night to the first break
ing of the day.

OIL TRUST IN A CORNER
United States Attorney at Chicago
Knocks Out the Plea That It Is I'm
mune from Prosecution.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 1O.-The fight
of the Standard Oil company against the
ten indictments against the Standard
Oil company of Indiana which were re-
turned August % was commenced today
before United States Judge Lands. The
indictments contain 642S counts and the
company entered demurrer.
The attorneys of the Standard Oil COM
pany contend that section 10 of the rate
law passed by Congress June 20, re-
peals the Elkins law under which the
government is bringing the action, and
that the indictments are not sufficiently
specific.
This was contradicted by United
States District Attorney Sims, who de-
statues covered the case in that it states
that the repeal of an old statue does not
condone prior offenses unless the repeal
ing act so specifies in particular.

CAMPBELL'S SHOTS KILL.
DR.. Harris Dies in Chicago on Eve OF
Peace-Both Couples on Road to
Reconciliation.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 1O.-Dr. Benja-
min Harris, who was shot in a corridor
of the stock exchange building Friday by
Amasa G. Campbell of Amigo, Wis,
died from his wounds last night. Camp
bell was arraigned this morning.
The shooting resulted in the patching
up of the long standing differences be-
tween the injured physician and his di-
vorced wife, Mrs. Emma Harris, in an
affecting scene at the bedside of Or.
Harris at the Post Graduate hospital.
It is believed the shooting also will re-
suit in a reconciliation between Camp
bell and his wife, from whom he is seek
ing divorce.
Mrs. Harris emphatically denied that
the shooting was the outcome of black
mailing plot. She said the basis for the
story is the fact that she once threaten
ed to bring suit against Mrs. Campbell
for alternating DIR. Harris affection.

FRANCE WILLING
TO FIGHT CHURCH.
Says Rome Can Have All the War
Wanted and Blames Political
Enterprise.

PARIS, Dec. 1O.-The press today
unanimously recognizes the extreme
gravity of the religious issue precipitated
by the Popes latest attitude, and many
papers predict q veritable religious war
fare.
The governments calculations have
clearly been upset and new legislative
authority may be necessary to enable it
to cope with the situation.
1t having been decided that after to-
morrow religious services may not be
held without a preliminary declaration
under the law of 1881. the PoDe's order
of Saturday entails the immediate initia-
ton of prosecutions in $4,000 communes,
and logically the invasion of churches by
the police for the purpose of pronounclng
their dissolution and expelling the parish
priests.
Views from Various Sources.
The militant Catholics seemingly hail
with joy the prospect of violence which
will compel the closing of the churches
with the attendant excitement OF rellg-
iouS passions. NJ. Jaures, the Socialist
leader, processes to believe that the
Vatican has deliberately determined to
test the strength of the party OF reaction
in an effort to overthrow the republic.
The Socialist organs generally, how
ever, regard the Pope's instructions as
being the result of the governments
weakness in offering any concession be-
yond the formation of the cultural as
sociations contemplated under the law
of 1905. They declare that the gov
eminent now has no alternative except
to insist on declarations being MADE OF
show the ecclesiastics the door.
The conservative papers advise the
government to remain true to It's Hberal
principles, contending that the more the
church is intolerant and panic stricken,
the more authority it will need, provld-
ed the government does not lose it's head.
Government Is Ready
The government has made prepare
tons to cope with the situation, but is
keeping them secret evidently waiting
to see whether any considerable proper
kion of the clergy will revolt. The cab
met, however, maintains a resolute front
instructions to the public prosecutors
were sent out today.
I Premier Clemenceau is quoted as say
ing: eff the church elects to have war
lit will have it; but the world will bear
witness that the Vatican is like a foreign
power trying to dispute the authority of
the French government"
Says It's All Politics.
M. BRAND, minister of public wor-
ship, says he thinks the Pope yielded to
the opportunities of the ultramontaines,
who are possessed with 'the mad idea
that tout of disorder and civil war they
will emerge triumphant. The govern
ment now does not face revolt of the
consciences of French Catholics but a
purely political enterprise"
