PRISON PENALTIES
FOR MANY GRIMES
AGAINST COMMERCE
Punishment by a Fine
Proven to Be Wholly
Inadequate.

Officers of the Standard Oil Com
pany and of railroad companies that
have been granting rebates and
privileges to the Standards snip
ments are to be prosecuted forth
with by the Department of Justice,
with special reference to improving
social conditions in a number of
jails about the country.
Convinced that fines are not an
eficacious penalty for the crimes of
commerce, and that there is now
law enough on the books and evil
dence enough in hand to send some
of the big corporation and trust
officials to Jail or the penitentiary,
the President and his Cabinet have
outlined a plan Tor a series of
prosecutions that will be instituted
at once. These relate primarily to
the Standard OIL Company as a re-
ceiver of rebates and to the rail-
roads that have granted them.
The Attorney General is satisfied tha;
the immunity business is now insolvent.
He finds further that while certain Of
fenses are punishable only by fines, con.
spiracy to commit these offenses is pun
ishable by imprisonment, and so both

by The Tunes reporter took the directly
opposite view. All spoke in a similar
vein, which IS represented by the views
of the chief clerk of one of the DEPART
ments n the State, War. and Navy
building.
The new law appears to me to be q
good thing. Unfortunately, the Army
and Navy Departments are not allowed
sufficient money TO pay their clerks as
wee attractive. As consequence. both
these departments. particularly the
navy. have great difficulty obtaining and
keeping good men.
''lnasmuch as our appropriation Is not
increased. the law will help us TO hodI
our men, The men should have oppor-
tunity TO change. but when paw In other
departments is higher than in a certain
one, this one department is handicap
ped by being unable to hold its best

TO get away from US and we are left
with lot of CHEAP men on our hands.

for chances of transfer into the better

leave US at the end Of year. we are the
loser. Few clerks are of any value till
they have been in one department a
year-that is. new clerks, without prev
ioust governmental experience. Each
branch of the government service is a
mighty bi gand important institution,
and II requires some time for a new
clerk 70 faniliarize himself with its
workings. At present. we frequently are
annoved by losing a man just about the
time we get him broke in-in early
words. we break him in for the benef-
of the Treasury. Interior. and other de-
partments. where the work and pay is

CIer, - Ire Indignant
Over NeW Legislation
Cutting off Transfers
War and Navy Officials on Other Hand Ap-
prove Provision, Which They Say Is
Protection to Department.

The wall Of Government clerks over
the provision in the new legislative. ex-
ecutive. and judicial bill preventing
their transfer from one department. to
another within three years, as printed
exclusively IN The Times yesterday,
grows stronger. 1t was the leading. If
not the only, topic of conversation
anon gthe clerks Of the different de-
partments. particularly those of the
War and Navy, who are most affected,
in the corridors of the building when
moments we're snatched from work and
during the luncheon hour.
A big majority of the clerks, par
ticularly in the lower grades. are in
dignant over the new law. which they
declare 70 be a transgression upon their
rights and direct bar to their pro-
motion.
Denounced as Unfair.
The expression of a clerk in the Navy
Department fairly represents the views
Of a vast majority. He said:
The only hope for most of the clerks
In the Navy Department to rnakS> a fair
living the remainder of his days. atIeast
as long as he remains in the Government
service. in which he ties himself up for
his life's vocation, is to work for trans
Ter lnIO one OF the departments where
the pay is better and promotions come
more easily and quickly. Under the new
ruling We are deprived OF a repition OF
an examination IN a certain grade and of
transfer TO a place where our chances
are better. The merits Of a man count,
they say, but that is not altogether true
in either the Navy or Wa. Departments.
No matter the ability or real value OF
man in these departments, it is a
rare matter for him to work his way up
to the place to where he is even fairly
well paid for the services he renders
to the Government. Pay is better, and
promotions more rapid iI. the Treasury,
interior, and other departments
There appears 10 be two sides TO the
question. however, for nearly every de-
partfaept Official and chief clerk seen

Georgetown Youngsters
Backed for Third Place

POUGHKEEPSIE. ~. Y. June 23.-
The eight frail youngsters in whom
Georgetown places her hopes and pros
poets took their last hard spin yester-
day. It was all that was required to put
the men over the dangerous line of
staleness and served as the tonic that
they desired. Two or three of them
seemed very near the dangerous edge,
but Pat pulled them over.
Considering all the trouble and noise
in the city last night they rested very
easily. There have been several things
conducive to this desired end. Usually
the adherents from Syracuse and Cor
nell pour into the town the day before
the race. but this has not been the pro-
cedure this year. and Georgetown has
not been subjected to the cannonading
and firecrackers of previous years.
The Morgan House. situated. as it is,
right on the main street of the other
wise sleepy town, is right in the way
of the crowd and the eight have not had
the sleep that they needed before the
big race. This year things are differ
ent, and there is not as much interest as
there should be.
Georgetown for Third.

ting on the races is done was not open

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, June 25.-
intercollegiate regatta day dawned
in rattle of thunder and the pat
ter of heavy rain. Later the light
ming storm blew over, but the rain
kept on, dampening further what
promises anyway to be a very quiet
event.
Though it is said that all the
seats in the observation train have
been sold out several days and that
financially it will be the most profit
able regatta ever held or the Hud-
son river course, there was not
much of crowd or any tremendous
enthusiasm TO show for it up to
noon Less than 1000 visitors were
in town last night and the morning
importing was very light, due prob
ably 10 the unfavorable weather
outlook.
Interest Diminished.
The general prophecies of an
other walk-away for the Cornell
crews in the varsities and freshmen.
and probably in the four-oared
events, have further served to
diminish interest in the race. So
common have the Courtney triumphs
become that nobody nowadays looks
for anything else, the betting is
warped each year, and the college
spirit has hard ard almost hope
less task to overcome the dispirit-
ing regularity of his victories.
Nevertheless, $4,000 in bets have been
made with Sisson Bros. who make the
|. 1eQAs- and take wagerss on commission.
and 1t Is estimated that a similar amount
has been put mp among college men pri-
Nately- Cornell money will total less
than half this sum. not because there
Is scarcity. for anyone who wants TO
bet against the Ithacans ean get It IN
any denominations and at almost anv
odds but because in most of the places
where Jhe collegfans meet to gamble
CorneH mas been summarily barred.
Outside Of Cornell Pennsylvania stands
very Wen in the esteem of the experts,
az is picked for second place.
Dempsey Likes Penn.
The Quakers will lead in the varsity
event for the first mile or two" said
Coach Dempsey, of Georgetown, who
has watched Wards men carefully for n
week
IF they can hold out the four n,iles
they ought TO have a chance OF finishIng
first" -'iS
This belief is strengthened by the an
thentc report today that the Ouakers
two days ago rowed the fastest mile
ever pulled on the Hudson river. Sy-ra
cuse and Wisconsin are thought equally
good, though not in the class with Cor
nell and Columbia. and CeorpetoyVn ara
looked to bring up the rear.
Cornell All-Around Favorite.
OF course. these are mere guesses-
the same sort as We're made two years
ago when the despised novices from
Syracuse walked away from their rivals
in the varsity event, and finished with
boat lengths TO spare.
Nobody seems to know about either
A3e freshmen or the four-oared races.

expand. The crop situation otherwise
is very promising. The promise OF cooler
weather makes for increased activity in
industry. The iron and steel markets are

STEAD|ER TONE TO

Covering by Shorts Gives
Strength to Market, NOtwith-
standing Bear Reports.

CHICAGO, Aug, 31.-Covering by
shorts in the September delivery held tho
local wheat market steady today. not
withstanding lower cables and con-
tinued absence OF rain in tho Northwest
At the close the price of the December
option was practically unchanged. Corn
was unchanged. oats were off hm Nc,
Provisions were unchanged To 2la@5c
lower.
The wheat market opened n trine easier
because of moderate decline at Liver
pool and favorable weather for harvest
ing the spring wheat crop In this coun-
try. From the commencement OF the
session, however, the September delivery
was in good demand by several infiuen-
tial traders and this soon started cover
ing by local shorts. The market respond
ed to the demand, the September delivery
advancing &C. Other deliveries advanced
in lesser degree. Onlcial prediction Of
rain throughout the sections of the spring
wheat country assisted In creating firm
er tone. Trading was quite active all
day.
During the last hour there was con-
siderable profit taking, which resulted in
declines in all deliveries. The market
closed steady, December opened 1Sc
lower. at 73'ac. advanced to 74bc and
closed at 73%@73%c.
