he PRINTS THE BILLS.
How Slr. Garfield shows Discrinina-
ton Favoring Standard

Washington, May 1.-THE Garfield
report submitted to congress today
covers 500 printed pages In support
OF the various allegations made by
him, Mr.. Garfield prints bodily in the
report copies of way bills. letters Of
railroad officials bearing on transae-
tons with agents of the Standard Oil
and independent oil companies, special
oil tariffs of various railroads, bills of
lading, blind bills of lading and secret
understandings and agreements of the
several railroad companies named with
the Standard Oil company
In many instances, according to the
copies of the way bills, the rate paid
by the Standard Oil company was only
331s per cent of the amount stated in
the bill.
The testimony of employees of rail-
roads is given in confirmation of the
cealment of rates granted to the
Standard OIL company. Although it is
alleged in the case of the Chicago &
Alton railroad. the general tariff Off
GERS admitted the existence of a secret
rate and the shipper was to conceal IL
from other railroads and not from the
shippers. One of the leading freight
clerks Of the Alton is quoted as testify
ing that the secret rate was intended
only for the benefit of the Standard Oil
company and that had any other ship
per inquired for rates he would not
have been given the low rate accorded
the Standard Oil company.
The report further shows the estab-
lishment of through rates from small,
1nconsequentia1 and in many instances
obscure points near large shipping cen
ters. and the filing of the tariffs with
the interstate commerce commission as
evidence that the rates were not Sc
cret. But Mr.. Garfield maintains that
by this arrangements the rates were
effectively secret because any shipper
other than the Standard Oil company
in applying for rates would be given
the published rates from other places
in the vicinity of the small points re-
ferred to which in every case were con-
siderably higher. He declares that the
railroads realized the irregularity Of
the arrangement, land that they de-
signed to hide the rate from all ship
pers except the Standard Oil com
pany"

THEY WANT MORE COTTON.
Great Britain Thinks Her Trade Is in
a Bad Way.

London. May IA large and inn
portant deputation interested in the
cotton industry Of Lancashire inter-
viewed Premier Campo -Bannerman
at the foreign Office today relative to
the necessity for opening new sources
of supply. The members of the depu-
tation emphasized the fact that the
cotton trade is in dangerous position.
They pointed out that Great Britain IS
dependent on America for Is per cent
of her supply of raw material and
therefore it was absolutely necessary
to broaden the sources of supply. The
only possible salvation, it was declared,
lay in North Nigeria, but railways were
Indispensable.
The premier was very sympathetic,
but said he could not commit the gov
eminent to any promises He was
ready, however, to favorably consider
any scheme for railroad construction
involving reasonable government as
sistance.

the probate judge to grant and issue
unto him a license to sell intoxicating
liquor. Such a proposition is too
monstrously absurd to be thought of
for one moment. The placarding and
billing of this city by the circus, evil
dencing their intention to go on and
show here, does not settle any legal
proposition involved. but if anything
it calls for increased diligence on the
part Of the city to take time by the
forelock and be prepared for such a
contingency.
'Mandamus proceedings will not lie
to compel the issue of the license, for
the very good and sufficient reason
that a discretionary power exists in the
council as to the issue of license,
and as the council has exercised its
discretion against its issue the circus
is remedies.

ST. AUBEN MAY GO FREE
Didn't Know That His Bride Was IN
der Eighteen.

The case of Louis st. Auben, of st.
Marys, arrested yesterday for perjury
on the charge that he made a false
affidavit concerning his wife's age in
securing a marriage license on Mon
day in the probate court, stands in a
fair way to be knocked out.
st. Auben was called up for pre-
liminary hearing this morning and
waived. At noon, Colonel James
Graham, of Twenty-second Kansas
fame, came to the court house. He
is working in St. Aubens behalf. al
most everybody at St. Marys is for the
boy" said Colonel Graham. 1.-The girl
wants to live with him. She will be
eighteen in August. But she told him
that she was eighteen and he believed
1t and accordingly swore to that. He
did no intentional wrong"
If Bertha Patterson, the girl he
married, goes on the stand when an
other hearing is given St. Auben, for
another was granted this afternoon
and Will probably take place in the
morning, and sWears that she told St.
Auben she was of age, and he did not
know differently, then the case Will be
dismissed. That promises to be the
final uoshot of the matter.
Colonel Graham says that the story
about St. Marys is that the girl did
not want to live at home and at sew
eral times threatened to commit
suicide unless St Auben took her
away.
st. Auben was arrested at his faith
er-in-law's instance. Mahon Patterson,
a well-to-do farmer of Wabaunsee
county.

TROUBLE WITH JUNK THIEVES.
Dealers Are Notified That They Buy
Stun at Their Peril.

The police have experienced a con-
siderable trouble recently as the re-
suit of junk thieves. generally small
boys who were protected from punish
ment by the juvenile court, and the
blame for their many thefts has been
attributed to the laxity of the several
junk dealers on lower Kansas avenue
It Is reasoned that the boys would not
steal brass and lead pipe unless they
found ready market for it.
Today Chief Donovan armed Detec-
tive Goff with an ordinance book and
directed him to call upon every junk
dealer in the city. Con- called at the
places, and held services" reading a
chapter from the gospel of the city
fathers. which relates to the purchase
OF junk from minors. After reading
his text from the word" Mr.. Goff
preached sermon on the evils of junk
buying. and cited the penalties attach
ed. Passersby who saw the detective
at work, thought that he was an itin-
Grant street preacher OF some new re-
lgiOus sect.
Should the junk dealers fail to profit
by the sermon delivered today. they
viii be arrested under the prohibitive
ordinance.

Mrs. Harriet Doolittle of 1877 West
Sixth avenue was so severely injured yes
terday by her husband that it was neces-
fears are entertained that her injuries
will prove of serious, if not, fatal ma
ture.
Emerson Doolitt1e who is Sc years of
age has been subject-to- epileptic fits for a,
number of years and it was during one of
these and while understandable for his
acts that he inflicted the injuries upon
his wife who is 70 years of age.
Mrs. Doolittle was attempting to control
him and was pushed aside and in such
a manner that her hip was broken and
she sustained other injuries which, ow-
ing to her advanced age, may prove fatal.
