When the Preobraj jensky regiment "his

with parliament, the Emeperor's eyes
were opened and the court began to
realize there was only a step from that
to declaring allegiance to parliament as

The only conservative group in the lower
house, the one headed by Count Heydon,
has at last bowed it's head before the
storm of radicalism and declared in

constitutional democrats agrarian pro.

Parliament seems practically to have
abandoned its attempts to frame legis-

RATE HEARING AT
WALLA WALLA ENDS
PROBABLY BE SOME TIME BEFORE
THE COMMISSION WILL HAND
DOWN ITS DECISION.

WALLA WALLA, Wash, June 2S.-
The State Railroad Commission finished
the hearing of the Walla Walla demand
for distributing rates today. All the
testimony was in at noon and the attor-
neys submitted the question without ar
theguedment. This matter has been one
of the hardest problems that the com.
mission has been called on to decide and
it will probably be some time before a
decision is handed down by the commits
sion. The Walla Walla jobbers feel con-
tident that the showing made will result
in some relief being made, even if a
complete distributing rate is not granted

NEW YORK, June 2S,--The coroner

public interest today with the develop

in his cell in the Tombs prison. There
was much speculation today as tc
just what position Mrs. Thuw would
take when she appeared before the

1t was asserted that the wife had told
her friends that she would 60 to prison
rather than testify in the grand Jury
room where proceedings are secret and
where the only counsel is a representa-.
tive of the district attorneys office.
Mrs. Thaw has told most intimate
friends that she would Stand pat" and

Gorvin, it was said today are determin-

Small Dealers,

NEW ORLEANS June 2s-Testimony
on the freight rates affecting seven
southern states was taken here today by
the interstate commerce commission.
All were witnesses of the independent
oil dealers. The book on oil tariff rates
issued by the Southern Railway was put
in evidence. w. O. Hudson, a former
employee OF the Standard Oil Company,
testified that the rate published, was
between the Standard Oil stations. Mar
tin Cary of Buffalo, representing the
Standard Oil poined out proviso in
this book, that rates will be made to any
station when proper facilities for unload
ing are furnished. Commissioner Prouty
replying said:
4 understand that proper facilities
for unloading, means storage tanks, and
that small dealers cannot build such
tanks"
NJ Milburn, secretary and treasurer of
the National Refining Company of Mem
phis, Tenn, testified that in Arkansas
his salesmen had been arrested by the
State oil inspectors on the charge that
their oil was below the Standard. These
arrests had never been prosecuted. The
