 mon Carriers.

 The House conferees are contending for A modification of this Commodity amendment by changing words common carriers" to railroads" and without agreeing on this question the conference broke up.
 It was agreed today that sleeping cars should be included in the bill as common carriers and subject to regulation as such The second disputed point was as to the five days notice to be given before is- suing an injunction enforcing an order of the commission. The Senate amend ment requiring this notice was accepted by the conferees. It also was agreed that no exception should be made for lumber in the commodity amendment

 TRAIL OFOCTOPUS
Formal Decision Reached at Cabinet Meeting to Begin Crm nal Prosecution Against the Standard Oil Company for
 Violations of the Sherman Antitrust Law,

priate judicial districts. These cases are regarded and will be treated of impor- tance, as it seems clear that in so far as the Standard oil company has obtained monopoistic control of interstate trade. that control has been in large degree made possible by determinations in transpor- tation rates or facilities, the discrimina- tions being in some cases in violation of the law and in other cases though injuri- ous to the public welfare. not in violation of the law and are subject only to such correction as may be afforded by the rail- way rate legislation now pending In Con gross.
 q shall continue the investigation of af- fairs of the Standard oil company and of such complaints as have been or may be brought to the attention of this depart ment with the view of ascertaining wheth- CT there has been any violation of the antitrust act or of any other federal law. This investigation will require as- sstance and 1 have employed as depart ment counsel Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul, who was one of the counsel for the government in the recently terminated litigation against the western paper or ganization, and Charles B.

Washington, June 22.-The formal an- ment's intention to prosecute the Stan dard Oil company was made today by At torney General Moody. It appears from his statement that the proceedings in the first instance will be had under the Elk ins' law which prohibits rebates in inter state commerce. The attorney general. however, gives notice that in all proba- blity should the investigation justify it.. he will bring further action under the Sherman antitrust law.
 He will also take steps to insure against the continuance by the company of dis oriminations in trade and transportation, which are not now subject to prosecution, but are especially provided against in the pending rate bill The attorney general S statement follows:
 rAfter full consideration of all the in- formation now available. including the re- port of the commissioner of corporations and the evidence taken by the interstate commerce commission, I have reached the conclusion that criminal proceedings against 'the Standard oil company should be begun in certain cases where there ap- pears to have been a violation of the laws regulating interstate commerce and pro- hibiting 'nebates and other unlawful dis crimnations. Accordingly such proceed ngs will be begun at once in the appro-

BARILLAS COMES
 TO MEXICO CITY
Revolutionist Leader Is III, But Ex- poets to Return to Guatemala
 When Restored.

Mexico City, June 22.-General Manuel Lizandro Barllas. ex-President of Guate- mala and one of the leaders of the revolu- tion. is in this city. said to be i'll, but it is expected he will shortly depart for the United States, whence he may proceed to join the revolutionists operating in Southern Guatemala under General To- ledo. His physicians will not permit him to be seen. It Is said that President Ca brera has closed all avenues whereby the true state of affairs in that country might become known. Colonel Pinedo has met no resistance in his invasion of the province of Peten. The only real check the revolution has received was the fail ure of the invasion from the Mexican state of Chiapiaz which was prevented by the vigilance of the Mexican government which has endeavored to preserve the strictest neutrality.
 The position of affairs appears that the revolution may have been checked for a few days. but will break out more for midable later on.

BLAME OFFICERS
 FOR THE OUTBREAK
POLICE AND SUBoRDINATES AT BIALYSTOk CIRCULATED FALSE RUMoRs ABOUT JEWS, THERE BY CAUSING DEMONSTRATION.

St. Petersburg, June 22.--At a crowded meeting of the Constitutional club tonight Deputy Stechepkin reported the finding of the committee of the lower house. which went to Balystok to investigate the anti Jewish outbreak.
 According to this report the police, with the aid of subordinate officers of the po- lice and military, caused the outbreak by circulating false rumors against the Jews. The goveronor of Bialystok though not directly responsible. was said to have been undoubtedly criminally guilty of prolong- ing the excesses by abandoning his post The governor washed his hands of the af- fairs, not knowing the attitude of the of ficials at St. Petersburg. The local police assumed that the Goremykin ministry, which had printed black hundred circulars. would not punish those who participated in the outbreak It Is two-faced atti- tude of the government, M. Stechepkn as- serted, which was principally responsible,

STEVENS GOING TO PANAMA NEXT WEEK Will Organize for Vigorous
 Campaign Against Dirt 80,00O TO BE EMPLOYED Spanish Laborers Are Used Extensive

 Blacks.
80,00O TO BE EMPLOYED

Washington. June 2.-(SpeciaD. Chief Engineer Stevens fo the Panama canal commission will leave next week for the isthmus and organize for vigorous cam paign against the dirt
 With reference to the decision of Con- gress for lock canal MT. Stevens said today that 1t was impossible properly to locate the net work of construction tracks before this time, as well as the immense dump to which the excavations should be hauled. For the purposes of local canal the dumpage may be made in regions which would be impracticable because valleys draining into the bed of the sea level canal could not be used for this purpose
 The torrential rains would wash all of the material back into the canal It would, therefore. be necessary to haul this excavated material greater dis tance in the construction of a sea level canal.
 MT Stevens said as well as he could estimate the total excavations from the Culebra cut. including the work done by both the French and American engineers, now represents about 40 per cent of the total amount that must be taken out for a lock canal It should be understand however that the excavations at Culebra will not determine the length of time required in building the lock canal, but rather the locks and dams will be the test. The commission claims that there has been no outbreak of yellow fever on the isthmus since last December, and that sanitary and health conditions are excellent.
 The commission Is at present experi- menting with Spanish laborers, of whom they have secured several hundred from Cuba.
 They are about twice as efficient as the blacks, who now constitute most of the laboring force, and in addition, 1t is less expensive to carry on the health and sanitary work for them The com mission now has an agent in Spain in- vestlgating as to the chances of getting a labor supply from there.
 The Spanish laborers are paid twice as much as the blacks, but their superior efficiency makes their employment eco- nomical. The commission is now carry ing about twenty thousand people on It's pay rolls. The actual working force numbers about fifteen thousand. At the climax of the work. probably thirty thou sand persons will be employed.

SENATOR BAILEY WILL
 NOT BECOME CANDIDATE

because he is from the south. and the time has not yet come to nominate a southern man. Senator Bailey has never believed that the nomination of south ern man would be wise, and refuses to permit any movement in his interest. He and all of us, so far as I know, believe that the political conditions all point to the nomination of Bryan in 1908, and that the belated advocacy of Theodore Roosevelt of all the things for which Bryan has contended for years. together with the widespread political corruption, the dlsgraceful campaign contributions. Bryans spotless character and undues- tioned ability and patriotism, all point to Bryans election.
 Senator Bailey and his friends are heartily for the nomination of the Ne braskan, and the coming state convention in Texas will unreservedly demand it.

He said that most of the inmates are old men settled habits, and many of them addicted more or less to drink that the men would seek the vilest slums if they could not get liquor within the home precincts, with the results far more disastrous.
