RATES CUT IN KENTUCKY
State Commissioners Deal a
Heavy Blow to Railroads.
Order Reduction Of % Per Cent. In
Freight Rates-Called Astound-
ing and Revolutionary.

Louisville, Ky.-The State Rail-
road Commission, sitting in Frank
fort, dealt heavy blow to the Louis
Vile and Nashville and Illinois Gen.
trail roads, others also being AFFECT.
ed, when a decision was handed
down ordering a sweeping reduction
in rates to all local points, effecting
a saving to shippers of an amount es-
timated at $1,800,000.
The Louisville. and Nashville Is
hardest hit Of all the roads, the com
mission ordering that its present rate
be reduced twenty-five per cent. Tne
Illinois Central is also singled out
for censure and is forbidden 10
charge in excess of the rate fixed for
the Louisville and Nashville.
The freight rate charged on the
main stem of the Louisville and
Nashville running down toward Nash
Vile is taken as the basis for all
freight rates in Kentucky. The Gin
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa
cific and Southern are also held to
be charging unfair rates, but these
roads are not censured as are the
first two named.
The Chesapeake and Ohio is practi-
cilly exonerated. 1t is practically
certain that the Louisville and Nash
Vile and the Illinois Central Will
make vigorous fight against the en-
forcement Of the new ruling. 1t was
shown in the report that Cincinnati
was greatly favored over Louisville:
The effect. of the decision is summed
up in the terse statement OF a prom
inent railroad man.,
e."The decision is astounding and
revolutionary"

VOTE FOR LOCK CANAL.
Last Obstacle Removed From Path
of Panama Waterway.

Oh I6udfld "dLCEnNys
Washington, D. C.-By voting in
favor of q lock instead of a sea level
canal at Panama the Senate prob
ably decided for all time the question
which two weeks ago seemed likely
to remain undecided for a long per-
iod
The amendment for the lock plan
to the Sea Level bill reported by the
committee was offered by Senator
Hopkins. Senator Kittredge moved
to table the amendment. and on this
the test vote came 7Thirty-one ia
vored the sea level and thirty-six the
lock plan. Twenty-one Democrats,
together with Ankeny. Burrows.
Burnham. Dick, Gallinger. Hale, Kit
tredge, McCumber. Nelson and Platt
voted for the sea level plan. Thirty
Ave Republicans and one Democrat.
Patterson, of Colorado; voted for the
lock plan.
A lock canal is estimated to cost
100000 and te require eight
years for its completion. The Pres
ident held that the canal should be
built for present use and not for
posterity, and he favored whichever
type would be the least expensive
and produce the most speedy results.
1t was estimated that a sea-leVel
canal would cost $235,000,000 and
require at least twelve years for con-
struction.
"As soon as I receive official noti-
fication of the action of Congress
III tell Shonts to cut loose"
This was the first exclamation OF
the President when he learned that
the Senate had declared in favor OF
a lock canal

STANDARD OIL co.
TO Be PROSECUTED
Roosevelt Decides TO Bring It 70
the Criminal Bar.
SPECIAL COUNSEL EMPLOYED

Conspiracy Against the United
.,tates" 10 Be Charged in Push
ing of Rcbate Cases - Cabinet
Orders Sweeping Attack at Once.
Washington, D. C.-Between the
administration and the Standard Oil
Company the issue now is joined.
General and systematic prosecutions
against the great oil monopoly have
been ordered by the President and
the Cabinet. and proceedings are to
be instituted at once.
An official announcement to that
effect was made by Attorney General
Moody.
1t is the expectation of the Govern
mcat that it will be able to convict
the Standard Oil officials Of violation
Of the Interstate Commerce law, the
Sh~-mar. Antitrust act and the law
making rebates illegal
It isalso the hope Of the Govern
ment that it will be able to convict
the .,tandard Oil officials of conspir-
acv against the United States. so that
the court may if it sees fit impose
sentence of Imprisonment.
Hence it is not without the bounds
of possibility that some O. the wealth.
lest and most powerful men IN the
world may go to Jail.
In order to have these cases han
died by men who can give all their
% AtInrnDV General
has appointed Frank B. Kellogg. OF
st. Paul, and Charles B. Morrison, or
Chicago, special counsel. Mr.. Morri-
son will resign as District Attorney
for the Northern District of Illinois.
Tne District Attorneys in various
parts of the country and the Federal
grand iuries are expected to work on
these cases all summer.
1t is understood that one of the
first cases to receive the attention OF
the Government prosecutors will be
the secret rate granted by the Penn
syivania Railroad on Oil from Olean
to Rochester, and t'.ence to Vermont
and New England points. For this
purpose the Federal Grand Jury may
soon be called together at Buffalo.
1t can be stated authoritatively
that Chicago will be the scene of one
of tie first legal actions to be taken
against the Standard Oil Company
and the railroads charged with Of
fense in connection with the great Oil
corporation. The Chicago field and
adjacent territory were fully inVestl-
gated, both by Commissioner Gar
fields agents and by agents of the
Attorney Generals department, act
ing independently of the Bureau Of
Corporations. The material gath
er.d about Chicago is said to be the
richest in the possession of the au-
thorities.
Every kind of case that can be
made against the Standard will be
brought to trial, and wherever the
Federal Law can get grip on the big
oil concern it will be hailed into court.

KING HAAKON VII. CROWNED
Democracy Keynote OF the
Norwegian Coronation.
Striking Contrast to the Old waxing
Ceremony When New Ruler
Asccnds Throne

Trondhjem. Norway.-1n Striking
! contrast to the kings whom he sue
ceeds. the Vikings of 600 years ago,
King Haakon VII. and his queen.
Maud. were crowned sovereigns OF
reborn Norway in this the ancient
Morse capital. Visitors from far
away countries could not fail to
think and to give expression to the
thought, that the Vikings made them-
selves kings-King Haakon was
made king by the grace OF the people
of Norway.
Everything was carried out wIh
the utmost simplicity. in this respect
resembling more closely the lnaugur-
alton of an American President tnan
q royal pageant.
Mingled with the expression OF pa
triotism from the thousands or Nor
wegians in the old capital city, was
the sentiment that their new crowned
king was the ornament to the new
political structure that the people
had reared, while the visitors from
abroad viewed the coronation more
or less Us a peculiar survival OF me-
dieyalism and perhaps among the
last such occasions of kingly pomp to
survive the twentieth century, tEe
era of democracy.
Beside the new-crowned king was
his bride, crowned in her turn, Queen
Maud, daughter Of the King Of Eng
land. Affection mingled with tho
patriotic sentiment that stirred thou
sands here for the coronation, but
underlying the general feeling there
was clearly shown spirit, almost
fierce, of nationalism. All for NOT
way" as the national motto has IT,
that has never been eQualled since
the days of Norway's independence
and power.
The coronation ceremony took
place in Trondhiem Cathedral, not
vet completed. but so covered WIN
decoration for the occasion that It's
defects were not noticeable. KING
and queen sat in ancient chairs under
canopies of red and gold, capped by
crowns embroidered with the Initials
of Haakon and his wife, the whole
placed between the two transets
under the dome of the structure.
The royal procession from the pal
ace to the cathedral was truly i'm
pressive. The populace, augmented
MANIFOLD by the visitors, seemed
never to end their shouting. In the
cathedral it was the same although
more dignifed.
A battery of artillery doomed out
its royal salute as the coronation
was completed. The coronation
music followed, consisting Of spec
tally composed cantata in four parts:
the work of Conductor Halyersea' or
the National Theatre of Christiana'
and sung with chorus of 22O voices.

EMERY ENDORSED BY
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS
Fusion With independent Lincoln
Republicans Wins in Convention.
BATTLE OVER STATE ISSUES
Grandson Of Jerc 8. Black Nominated
For. Lieutenant-Gov and an
Earnest Campaign Inaugurated
The Leaders Defeated.

Harrisburg: Pa.-The Democratic
State convention nominated the fol-
lowing ticket: Governor, Lewis EN-.
cry, Jr., of Bradford. the Lincoln
party nominee: Lieutenant Governor
Jere S. Black, of York; Auditor-Gen-
eraf, William T. Greasy. the Prohibi-
ton nominee, and Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, John j. Green. of Phil
adelphia
The platform deals entirely with
State issues. except on the plank,
which commends William J. Bryan.
The convention did not go on record
in favor of Bryan's nomination for
President.
Emery was the choice of the dele
gates who favor fusion with the Lin
coin party on State ticket He was
nominated on the first ballot by a
vote of .261 to GO for Arthur G.. De-
walt, Of Lehigh County, the choice
of James M. Guffey, National Com
mitteeman. of Pittsburg, and others,
who favored a straight Democrat for
Governor.
In the Lincoln ranks are many
Democrats Of distinction opposed to
their own party. A month ago it
was not deemed possible that the
voters could oppose the Democratic
party so long managed by Colonel
James. M. Guffey. but the sentiment
throughout the State made the CON-
vention representative of the people.
Up to the last minute Mr.. Guffey's
lieutenants planneG to defeat Emery,
but they could not overcome the
tide. Many men willing to take or
ders at any other time candidly said
they would not dare return to
their home districts and be RESPONSE
bic for the defeat of Emery. Gufey
remained in Pittsburg. suggesting
the names of men who might be pre-
sented as candidates against Emery.
His lieutenants then frankly advised
him that the convention could not be
controlled for any Democrat. and
that no man known as an "independ-
ent" would stand a chance with the
delegates. Many Republicans from
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, who owe
allegiance to Senator Boies Penrose,
were on the ground wearing Demo-
cratic buttons and shouting for a
straight ticket. Long before the roll
call these men abandoned all thought
of stampeding the convention.
Leaders opposed to Guffey In the
Democratic party met the representa-
tiyes of the Lincoln League and
agreed upon a fusion ticket. The
Lincoln party offered to withdraw
their candidates for Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor and Attorney-General. This
was accepted, and the Democrats
promised to name E. A. Coray, Jr., OF
Luzerne, an Independent Republican.
for Secretary of Internal Affairs.

TROUBLE OVER ACTRESS.WIFE

Before Audience Of q Thousand tho
Young Pittsburg Society Man
Suddenly Leaves Hi1 Seat and
Kills His Victim.
New York City.-Stanford White,
we'll known architect and member OF
exclusive clubs and prominent in So
ciety, was shot and instantly killed
by Harry X. Thaw, very wealthy
man of Pittsburg. on the Madison
Square Roof: Garden.
1t was near the close of "Mamzelle
Champagne" a musical comedy with
which the garden was opened. that
Thaw approached the table at which
White was seated with another man
and fired three shots from an auto
matte revolver into the breast Of the
architect.
Thaw was arrested without making
any resistance, after lie had dramatic
ally assured the terrified audience BY
gesture that he would shoot no more
and had emptied the weapon Of cart
ridges. He was locked in the West
Thirtleth street police station, where
lie made a statement that file DEATH
of White was deserved for many rea-
sons.
There is no doubt that jealousy.
amounting to an almost insane hatred,
was responsible for the deed. In his
statement Thaw mentioned several
times the name of his wife, compiling
this with denunciations Of White as
blackguard and scoundrel.
White met his death in the building
the designing of which was one OF hia
first great successes as an architect
and in which he was one of the prin.
cipal stockholders.
'Thaw, defending his deed, bitterly
denounced White, both In the garden
and in the Tenderloin police station.
to which he was taken after bis dra.
matte surrender in the garden. -
Mrs. Thaw, who was Evelyn Nesbit,
an actress, before her marriage, was ON
the roof at the time Of the tragedy.
She had only time to rush out as the
special policeman was leading. her hus-
band away prisoner and throw her
arms around his neck, crying hysIer-
ically, "Oh, Harry 'HarrE s HarEil"-
when she collapsed and was taken
away by friends. ~
That, there was no panic in the the .
atre was due as much to the scene TINT

The dim light of the scene prevented
all from seeing the tragedy. The de
tonating reports Of the revolver 60
much resembled frecraeker that feN,
received the first alarm. Then It was
that Mr.. Lawrence and the others.
springing up everywhere, called upon
all to remain in their seats, as there
was no danger, while others covered
the body of White with their coats and
cloths. The performance vas at once
concluded, but the audience passed out =.
without giving evidence of more than
great excitement
The tragedy. while shock to the
friends Of both men, was not alto
gether a surprise to them. They
knew, and have known for seYeraD
years, that against the architect

It dated back to the time when he
first fell in love with the young wom-
an who is now his wife. He made
