70 PROSECUTE RAILROADS.
Attorney General Moody Instructed
to Go After Rebaters.
Presidents Orders to Department Of JUS
tlCe Not Confined to Standard Oil
Company.

Washington, June 26.-President
Roosevelt's latest order for an octopus
hunt by the department of justice is
not confined to the Standard OIL COM
pany. Attorney General Moody is In
Structed also to go after the railroads.
and wherever he can obtain proof Of
the railroads granting rebates to the
Standard Oil or to any other concern,
he will bring suit. Some time ago the
various district attorneys were d.
rected to scout for evidence along
these lines. Not only will prosecu-
lions be made under the Elkins act,
which would merely assess a fine on
the offenders, but also under the anti
conspiracy statutes, which carry q
jail sentence.
President Roosevelt is particularly
pleased that he has the support Of the
entire cabinet. 1t will involve a great
deal of hard work on the part OF the
officials of the department Of justice
and the expenditure Of large amount
Of money. Attorney General Moody.

determination to retire to private life

ident, who believes that the success
that has attended his recent efforts In
the courts against other trusts augurs
satisfactory outcome in the present
campaign.

ed and advised the house that the
amendment Of Mr.. Grosvenor was q
sDecious way Of avoiding the .educa-

Mr.. Gardner of Massachusetts,, the
sponsor Of the bill, contended that the

grants now being admitted.
After further debate the Grosvenor
amendment was adopted by a vote Of

OIL Trust Used influence.

Washington, June 26.-Immediately
after the senate met Monday the clerk
Of the house Of representatives an
nounced the action Of that body on the
railroad rate bill, but It was allowed
to lie on the vice presidents desk un
III $3.50 y. M, when 1t was called up
by Senator Tillman. After the report
was read Mr.. Tlllman called attention
TO the fact that his name was not at
tached He presented and defended
the report, he said, at the request Of
the republican senate conferees, but ho
said he was opposed to the agreement
concerning one amendment, to which
he would later move that the senate
disagree. He had reference to the Nc
Laurin amendment divorcing the car
rying and producing business, which
was amended so that 1t does not apply
to pipe lines. The change in this
amendment "in plain English" he
said, meant that Standard Oil had
got in its work" The agreement In
regard to this amendment, he said, re-
lieved the Standard OIL company from
the control and regulation Of the In
terstate commerce commission.
When the bill was sent to conference
the second time, Senator Tillman said
be found an entirely different atmos-
phere from that Of the first conferences,
a. the house conferees insisted upon
opening up the whole subject, includ-
ing all matters to which an agreement
had been reached. "Then ! began TO
smell q mouse or something" he said.
Continuing, Mr.. Tillman said anyway
be became more or less skeptical as
to motives, Is one Il likely TO do after
service n the senate"
He contended that the change in the
words common carriers" to rail
roads" would simply destroy the effect
Of making pipe lines common carriers.
by this change the enforcement Of
transportation from production would
be confined to railroads, thus relieving

ELECTRIC LINE PROJECTED

cOWERs WITH LOCAL CAPITALISTS
Question OF Securing Right-Of-WHy
ON Reasonable Terms said 10 BE
Principal one In Construe-
tion of the tine.

TSndale Palmer, vice president Of the
Union Terminal company Of New York,
is in the city in connection with a PROPOSE
ton to construct an electric line from
Omaha to sDes Moines, a project which has
been discussed at times for the last two
years. The proposed route OF the electric
railroad is from Omaha through Council
BUNS, Treynor, Carson. Griswold, Cumber-
land, Fontanelle. Greenfield, Wnterset and
northeast from there to Des Moines.
Mr.. Palmer has held. one or more con-
ferences with II. II. Van Brunt and other
local capitalists who have for some time
past contemplated building an electric line
from Council BLUFFS 20 Griswold and have
gone so far as to have a preliminary sur
vey made.
whether the local men will go In with
Mr.. Palmer on the proposed enterprise has
not yet been determined, but II is under
stood that the proposition submitted first
by Mr.. Palmer 20 them was not deemed
satisfactory. ~
The construction OF the proposed line
Mr. Palmer stated last evening, depended
altogether on the promoters being able to
secure the right -of-way on reasonable
basis. Concerning the acquisition OF the
right-of-way Mr.. Palmer has suggested
that local company OF business men ir
the towns through which the road will
run be organized. with sufficient capital e
mako the surveys and secure the right-of
way, the local company to be reimbursed
bysAdr Palmer and his associates upon the
completion Of this preliminary work.
