LA FOLLETTE1S LIMITS
Politicians Asking HoSo Far He
Viii Go against Senator Spooner.
rFron The Tribune Bursau-J

Washington. Nov. 1O.-Is Senator La Folette.
through animosity to Senator Spooner, prepared
10 carry his revenge to the extent Of endeavor-
ing to secure the election Of DenSocrat TO sue
ceed the senior Senator7 is the question politi-
clans in Washington are asking since the de-
tailed returns from the election In Wisconsin
have been received.
The facts which have led to this question con-
sisr of the fight which Mr. La Toilette made to
defeat two Republican candidates for the State
Senate. fight in which the Junior Senator sue
ceeded. by coalition with the Democrats. IN
electing two Democratic State Senators. who will
hold until after the election Of Senator
Spooner's successor. in 1908. One OF the msn
who was defeated through the combined efforts
of Senator La Toilette and his Democratic allies
was Senator Zadoc c. Beech, of the 23d District
who had been member OF the Senate since 1902.
The other was man named Foley, in the 9th
District who had been nominated to succeed
Senator George Wylie.
The Republican nominees selected by
the votes of the Republican members of their
respective districts. who voted for them under
the primary law for which Senator Ia Folletts,
when Governor, stood sponsor. and which in
sures a full and free expression OF the viii Of
the majority Senator La Toilette exerted his
utmost endeavors to defeat them In the primary
elections. but was unsuccessful. When they
were nominated in spite OF his efforts he went
into their districts and campaigned against
them, exhorting his followers to vote for the
Democratic candidates. When the election Of
the Democratic Senators became known Senator
La Folette's Milwaukee newspaper gave him
full credit for their defeat.
The defeat OF Representative Babcock Is also
due to the efforts OF Senator La Toilette. and
Republicans IN Washington are now concerned
to know II the Junior Senator from Wisconsin ts
prepared to go the length Of exerting his infu-
ence in his state to secure the election OF a
Democratic member OF the upper house rather
than permit his oldtiIne enemy. Senator Spooner,
TO be reelected.
Friends Of Senator La Toilette say that he was
embIttered by the state convention which NOM
mated Davidson for Governor In the face or
La FoIlette's opposition, and which refused 10
give 70 the junior Senator the Endorsement
which he drafted and which ne thought he de-
served but they are not prepared TO answer the
question regarding the United States senator
ship which the Republicans are asking.
That Senator La Toilette went into indiana.
Kansas and New Jersey during the campaign
and spoke against Senators Hemenway, Long
and Dryden is well known. but that he should
endeayor to overcome the Republican majority
On the LEGISLATURE OF his own state rather than
hermit his political enemy TO be reelected, Is
declared 10 be almost incredible; especially as
Senator Spooner is regarded as one OF the rore-
most members of the Senate, whose services

Opinion among Democrats was somewhat dl-

trying to- expel McCarren. Many Tammany
men thought il had the power, but that in the
end the committeeman would think IL was bet
ter not to cause such bitter fight as McCar-
surely would make. Isaac NJ kaDper said
that he thought that since membership in the
state committee conferred by delegates to
the state convention. only those delegates or
the voters at the primaries could unseat a
member duly elected to the state committee at
the state convention. lie thought the commit

WHITE WAS
BANKRUPT.
Harry Thaw Answers MOT Gull.
w. Wife Tells Her Own
Full Story.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-Harry *.
Thaw answered mot guilty when ar
raigned in general sessions for the
murder OF Stanford White. He was
reminded to the Tombs, and a date for
his trial will be fixed next Tuesday.
When called on to plead every eye in
the crowded courtroom was turned ON
Thaw, but he appeared to be the most
unconcerned person there.
You have been indicted for murder
in the first degree" said Judge Cowing.
"How do you plead, guilty or not
guilty|
In the usual routine of such court
proceedings the prisoner waits for
counsel to answer, but Thaw, through
ignorance OF Intentionally, did not wait
for Judge Olcott to answer for him. In
a voice clear and strong that could be
heard in the most remote corner of the
courtroom he answered:
mot guilty"
Judge Olcott had opened his lips to
make a similar answer, and he gave a
look at Thaw that was a combination
of annoyance, surprise and amazement.
Turning to Judge Cowing, Mr.. Olcott
said:
"Your honor, we wish to enter a plea
of not guilty, and we also desire to re-
serve the privilege of changing our plea
and Of making any other motion we
may see fit between this time and
Tuesday next"
Stanford White, who went through
life spending money like a king, owed
to one young member of a very prom
inent family 100000 and to others of
his associates almost as much more.
If the reports received by the district
attorney are correct.
The plea of emotional insanity"
which will be put forward is merely
the legal peg on which to hang the de-
Tense of the ''unwritten law"
Mrs. Thaw was closeted with Judge
Olcott for many hours and. it is said,
told the story Of her life in m effort to
free her husband from the murder
charges.
White is reported a bankrupt, owing
100000 and having so greatly over
drawn his personal account with the
| firm of which he was a member that he
! was notified that he could draw no
| more and must be content With Il GER
| tain fixed weekly allowance. Scores
| of detectives are now delving i'll the
bohemian underworld life cf New
| York on behalf Of the prosecution and
| defense, and fresh discoveries bearing
more or less directly on the tragedy are
| of almost hourly occurrence.
1t is said that on the night of the
shooting ut the Cafe Martin, White
made an insulting remark about Mrs.
Thaw which, told to the young hu$-
| band. was of such a nature as to DRIVE
| any man frantic with rage, and, COUP
/ sci for the defense maintain, it teih-
| porarily deranged the mind 0f Harry
Kendall Thaw and cdused the tragedy

NEW AUTO LAW MAY NOT
BE CONSTITUTIONAL

TRENTON, June 30.-It Is believ-
ed that a serious and perhaps fatal
flaw has been found in the Freling-
huysen automobile law, which goes
into effect on Sunday. A section
of the act, prividing for a summary
review of the convictions of automo-
bile offenders, was copied almost ver
batim from an act providing for re-
view of commission proceedings
against accused policemen. The au-
tomobile law provision and language
are almost identical in this respect
with the ''review" section Of the po-
lice law. This law has been declar-
ed unconstitutional, 1t being held that
the legislature cannot strip the SUI
preme court of its power to issue
writs of %mandamus, quo warranto
and certiorari. The belief now pre-
walls in legal circles that the auto
mobile law will come under the same
ruling.
There is, however, some question
as to what effect this would have on
the act in its entirety. The automo-
bile law is full of provisions gener-
ally thought to be unconstitutional,
hut 1t also contains the clause proyid-
ing that the unconstitutionality Of
one section or more shall not be TAX
en- to invalidate the whole.

STANDARD OIL GETS BAD GRAND
JURY DOSE.
STANDARD TO LOSE BIG SUM
Each Acceptance of Rebate Sepa-
rate Offense and Entitled to Be
Cause for Prosecution Against the
Greatest of All American Trusts
Big Penalties Provided.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Ten indictments
containing 6,428 counts were returned
by the federal grand jury yesterday
against the Standard Oil company.
Each count covers an alleged offense,
and is based on a tank-cal shipment
of petroleum products from the rein
cries at Whiting, Ind According to
a statement issued after the indict-
ments had been returned from the Of
flee of the United States district at
torney, these shipments were carried
by the following roads:
Burlington, Alton, Chicago & East
ern Illinois, Evansville & Terre
Haute, Illinois Central, Southern, and
the Lake Shore.
According to this statement the
Burlington and Alton roads had pub
lished lawful rates Of 10 cents per
100 pounds to East st. Louis from
Whiting, and 1919 cents to st. Louis,
but carried oil for the Standard on a
secret and unpublished rate at and
~ cents to those points respectively.
The statement also alleges that the
Standard was given concessions
which averaged 271a per cent. of the
published rate to points in the south
beyond Grand Junction. The same
is true, it is alleged, of shipments
handled by the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, and the Evansville & Terre
Haute to Evansville, Ind, and points
beyond.
The Lake Shore is accused of Civ
ing concessions to the Standard in the
Standard in the shape of cancellations
of certain storage charges at Chicago
The charges against the Illinois
Central and Southern railroads are
the same as those in relation to ship
ments to points beyond Grand juno
ton.
1t was declared by the district at
torney's office that the penalty for
each offense alleged in the indict-
ments is a fine of not less than $1,000
or more than $4,000.

torneys, that lawyers for the Standard
will enter an appearance as soon AS
they have examined the indictments.
