SEVEN WOMEN STABBED.
"Jack the Cutter" at Work on Crowded
Streets in St. Louis.

"Jack the Cutter" at Work on Crowded
Streets in st. Louis.
st. Louis, JAM 24.-Seven women,
one fifty seven years old, and all Of
whom are employed in various capaci-
ties, were victims during the evening
of a mysterious Jack the Cutter y
who stabbed each with a sharp, ap-
parently double-edged knife. The as
saults all occurred on crowded streets.
In several instances the women did
not know they had been stabbed until
after they had reached home Six
were stabbed in the lower limbs and
the seventh in the shoulder.
The police are completely puzzled
and have formed the theory that a
young man, insane, is proWling the
streets armed with stiletto, stabbing
victims at pleasure, but always select
ing women. None of the victims of
his work are seriously injured.

st. Louis, Jan. 24.-Trading stamps
as means of getting children to

Chicago, Jan. 24.-According to gos-
sip which came direct from Wall

Armour were caught short 10000
shares of Reading stock and squeezed
by Wall street bull pool to the ex-
tent CT over S3,00O,00O. 1t is said

short CT Reading Immediately prior to
the time the shares crossed par. Dur
ing the day the price was janmed to
1863, which was followed by break to
1613h, where the closing sales were
made. The squeezing of the TWO Chi
cago operators is said to have cul
minated during the afternoon and the
rapid rise in shares was said to have
caused the failure of a number of
Wall street operators, which broke
prices sharply all along the line at
the close of the day.

AMENDMENT TO HEPBURN BILL.
Agreed Upon by Republican Members
of House Committee.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Republican
members Of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce held
caucus at night and agreed to the
amendments to the Hepburn railroad
rate bill which they think may satisfy
the Democratic members of the com
mittee and make unanimous report
of the committee possible.
In the Hepburn bill the interstate
commerce commission was originally
empowered to fix a maximum rate. The
Democrats on the committee objected
to this use of the word maximum, say
ing it was not definite. To meet the
objections OF the Democrats the Re
publicans agreed to the change of the
wording so it will read: "a just, rea-
sonable and fairly remunerative rate
which shall be the maximum rate

Moscow, Jan. 24.-Alexander Barry,
naturalized American, who is amo.g
the most prominent manufacturers of
Moscow, takes an exceedingly gloomy
view Of the situation, industrially and
politically. Mr.. Barry employs sew
eral thousand men and unquestionably

Bile of giving close diagnosis of the
situation. He is convinced that the
Russian people are not ripe for full
constitutional regime. The opening

manifesto only served to demoralize
portion of the masses which had
already been disturbed by the agi-

Kansas Oil Producers Appeal to Com
missioner Garfield.
Chanute, Kan, JAM 24.-The inde-
pendent oil refners of Kansas have
mailed to James r. Garfield, com
missioner Of corporations of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, an
appeal for justice against the con-
spiracy between the Standard Oil com
pany and the railroads to shut Kansas
Oil out of the market.
The refiners who sign the appeal
are Clifford Thorne, A. F. Robertson,
f. S. Bennett, G. D. Webster, j. M.
Cameron, H. Kaessmann, D. O. MCGEE
and G. e. Martin These men. own
eight refneries now in operation, be-
sides two in course Of erection at
Atchison and Kansas City, Kan. They
have invested more than s1,O0O,O00 in
refineries, tank cars, storage tanks,
wagons and barrels.
They claim that by reason of con
spiracy between the Standard Oil com
pany and the railroad systems of the
Southwest, particularly those rail
roads operating in Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska, Arkansas and Iowa and the
territories of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, they are limited to the state
of Kansas for a market for their re-
fined oil: that to all points outside OF
Kansas the freight rates on all the
products of crude petroleum are I'm.
reasonably high and have been main
tanned at such unreasonably high rate
for the express purpose and for no
other purpose than to confine business
of the independent refners to the
state of Kansas.

TO BACK IMMUNITY CLAIM.
Packers Will Use Letter Written by
President.

President.
j. Hynes for the defendants, in his
opening statement before the jury
hearing the immunity pleas Of the
beef packers, read an excerpt from a
letter written by President Roosevelt
to Attorney General Moody in the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe re-
bate case, which was a part of the
called for by congress some time ago.
This letter is taken by the packers
as an admission by the president that
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor and the department of justice
worked together to indict the pack
ers, supporting the contention of the
packers upon which they rely for i'm
munity.
The defendant packers will en-
deavor to inject the letter in the shape
of evidence as if the president was
present and testified concerning it.
The letter was written by the presi-
dent on June IL, 1905, at the time the
federal grand jury was sitting in Chi
cago in the beef inquiry That part of
the letter read by Attorney Hynes
and which will be introduced by the
defendants if possible as evidence
from President Roosevelt follows:
with my approval the department
of justice with the assistance of the
department of commerce and labor,
has for months been endeavoring to
find out whether or not they can OBJ
tain legal evidence Of such Willful and
deliberate violations of the injunction
by any individual. If the grand jury
now sitting in Chicago finds an in
dictment against any individual con-
nected with the packing corporations
it would be because in their judgment
such legal evidence of the violation of
the injunction had been laid before
them

Chicago, Jan. 2z-Ine government,
made its opening statement in the
packers case during the day. The
district attorney entered on his adj
dress TO the jury with such vigor that
Jected.
''The claims of the defendants in
this case," declared District Attorney
Morrison, "are only part Of their
claptrap defense presented by men OF
influence in the effort to unfit the jury
for fair deliberation in this case.
These men have not only the ingenu-
lty Of criminal lawyers, but they arc
corporation lawyers-trust lawyers
Attorney William j. Hynes, who
closed Lhe opening Of the packers Wits
an attack upon the district attorne,,
made strong objections to the stss5e
ments of the district attorney.
Il object to the statement that ara
a trust lawyer for myself and my a.
sociates," declared Mr.. Hynes.
"You are defending a trust now,
replied Attorney Morrison. You ar
defending men right now who are bl-
ing charged with being members OF y
trust"
Mr.. Hynes still objected to the state.
ments of the district attorney and til :.
court was called upon for decision.
1t ruled in favor of the district atte.-
ney.
Another clash occurred when tn
district attorney declared that the plel
of the packers that they are entitle,:
to immunity was an "afterthought.'
Continues His Denunciation.
Those men," continued the district
attorney, indicating the attorneys feT
the packers, while the grand jury
was in session went before the high
every effort and influence to stop this
prosecution They said nothing about
immunity then. Attorney John S. Mil
Ter, who appears here for the packers,
was there and he never said one word
about immunity"
II object to that statement because
the district attorney can never hope
to prove it, said Mr.. Miller.
II say | can, replied the attorney
for the government.
"I will put Mr.. Miller himself on
the stand and he will tell all about
that interview | was present and l
know what he said.
The attorneys for the packers again
offered objections, but Judge Hum
phrey said:
Il gave you gentlemen a wide lati-
tude and l am disposed to grant the
government very wide latitude"
After some additional legal sparring
the district attorney went on with his
statement.
"The issue in this case" he de-
clared lis not what Mr.. Garfield or
any one else has done, but whether
under the law these men are entitled
to go free and never be put on trial
under the Indictment. I was not
aware any government official had
mistreated those poor defendants until
I heard the opening statements in this
case. 1t is surprise to me that the
attorneys for these men should base
their case on chance of shielding
their clients from a trial on the main
issue"
