Innlls1RlAL ALCOHOL.

The question of what the world VIII
do for heat and light in case natural
gas gives out or the coal supply runs
short is finding partial answer In
denatured or Industrial alcohol. On
another page in to-day's paper we give
a very interesting article from the
scientific American showing the use
and methods of obtaining the much
discussed fluid. 1t will be noted mat
potatoes are one of the chief sources
from which the alcohol is obtained
80 when the earth has been robbed Of
its stores of gas and the coal beds
have yielded UP their store house OF
treasures, the people can turn their
attention to raising potatoes to get
the heat and light necessary to .eep

is more or less limited. SO long as our
wants can be supplied by raising pro-
ducts from the soil, the people need

No DISPUTE AS
To RELIEF FUND

Washington, May 4.-Secretary Taft
yesterday received a dispatch from
Chairman Phelan of the Red Cross
and relief committee of San Francisco.
in which Mr. Phelan said:
"The finance committee directs me
to state that it fully understands the
situation with which you were con
Ifronted, and your authority in the
premises. We have only to renew
our thanks for the prompt manner in
which you met our needs without even
waiting for action of congress, and We
plainly see that no disbursement If
funds can be made except through
regular government channels. The
advice previously received was that
congress had voted large sums OF
money for San Francisco and the i'm
preston was abroad that 1t wouId ,e
disbursed by the local authorities
The army organization under General
Greedy has given us inestimable aid
and has cooperated in systematizin2
the work of relief. We are under
great obligations to the army and lie,
sire to express our acknowledge
ments."

ion that justice and the interests OF
the naval service will be best served
by making the punishment in effect
a reduction to the next lower class at
the academy, involving the loss OF
numbers with corresponding loss OF
rank and pay in his later naval ca
reer, rather than complete severance
from the service by dismissal. The
president points out that the drastic
provisions of the old law made it OBJ
ligatory to courtmartial midshipmen
for hazing without regard to whether
the offense was grave or critical, ana
conviction made dismissal mandatory.
The new law has done away with the
inflexible features and the authorities
now have a certain measure of discre-
ton in such matters.

JOHN r. WALSH BOUND OVER.
Valves Examination and Bail Is
Fixed at $4,000.

Chicago, May John R. Walsh,
former president of the defunct Chi
cago National bank, accused of MAX
ing a false report to the comptroller
of the currency and misapplying 3d.
600 ,000 waived examination yester-
day before United States Commission
err Mark A. Foote and was held to
the federal grand jury under bonds OF
0,000 Previous to the hearing
Mr. Walsh's attorneys had been in
formed by the district attorney that
the government intended to push the
case and would agree to no further
continuances. By their course the
defendants attorneys have blocked
all proceedings for some time to come
which would disclose the manipula-
tions of the funds in the banking in
situations controlled by Mr.. Walsh as
well as other sensational angles
which, it is alleged, involve fnancier
ing of political campaigns and hand
ling of public money.
Since Walsh's arrest March 2 no
evidence has been brought out in the
eight appearances before Commission
er Foote Delays were secured by
his attorneys at each hearing without
going into the merits of the case in
any particular.
The whole case now awaits the fed
eral grand jury, which it is expected
will convene May Is. Neither Mr..
Walsh nor his attorneys or friends
would disclose any part of Mr..
Walshs plan of defense, or what line
of action will follow the waving or
his hearing. 1t was suggested that
Mr. Walsh may request the privilege
from the government that it allow
some of his witnesses to appear before
the inquisitorial body during its in
vestigation of his case for the purpose
of forestaIling his Indictment by that
body.

FRANK Nj. FoWLE SUICIDES,
Indicted Former Supervisor Shoots
Himself.

Milwaukee, May 4.-Frank M.
Fowle, former supervisor, under in
dictment by the last grand jury, com
mitted suicide yesterday at his home
in South Milwaukee. He shot himself
in the head with a revolver while
standing in his bedroom.
His wife, in an adjoining room,
heard the shot and entered the cham
Der, to find her husband lying on the
floor unconscious and bleeding. She
sent for assistance, and Drs. Smith
and Randall were summoned Mr.
Fowle was never conscious after the
shot was fired, and he died at 1890
o'clock.
Mr.. Fowle has been suffering fol
several months from chronic append
citis and this had caused him much
suffering. The recent convictions OF
idicted men weighed heavily upon his
mind, and on Tuesday afternoon he
began to shows signs of becoming
mentally unbalanced. He talked in
coherently about the graft situation
continually.
Fowle was held on six indictments
one returned by the grand jury June
1, 1905, charging that he accepted $50
from J. Marion Doesberg through Ed
ward F. Strauss and H. G. Lotter for
his vote favoring the adoption of the
Johnson Electric Service company

hospital.

brick from William Equitz. The
third charged that he received $50 for
his vote on the Allen Cornice and Cor

ON TRAIL OF THE
MOTHER OF TRUSTS

Washington, May 4.-The statement
is autholitatively made that the de
partment of justice will Immediately
begin an investigation of the rela
tons of the so-called oil trust and a
number of railroads with a view OF
determining whether there have been
violations of the anti-rebate law. The
basis for this investigation will be in
formation recently submitted to the
president in the report of Commits
sioner Garfield of the bureau of cor
porations. which is soon to be made
public This report, it is learned
deals only with the subject of rebates
and does not go into the question OF
violations of the antitrust law.
If it is found that rebates have
been given by the railroads and ac-
cepted by the so-called oil trust, steps
viii be taken at once, it is asserted,
to bring the matter before grand jar
les in the localities where the alleged
violations took place, with a view TO
prosecutions in the courts. 1t is
stated that Garfield in conducting his
investigation travelled extensively and
visited all the important sections
covered by the operations of the So
called oil trust, from New England to
California and the south. and that the
evidence obtained is amply sufficient
70 warrant the department Of iustice
in taking the course decided upon.
