Congressman Longworth Denies His
Wife Is TO Assist Him In Canvass
For Reelection.

Cincinnati, Aug. "a. - Yes, Mrs.
Longworth will unvell the Ohio monu.
ment to William Mckinley at Colum-
bus Sept. IA next" said Congressman
Nicholas Longworth 81 thought 1t
eminently appropriate for her to do so,
considering the association of Presi-
dent Mckinley and her father and in
view of the manner Of her fathers
succession to the presidency"
what part will Mrs. Longworth take
In your campaign for reelection to
congress?" was asked.
"She will not take part. That is set
tied absolutely" Mr.. Longworth be-
gan.
But for a noble, wifely woman,
Roosevelt, to remain Inactive" the
correspondent ventured,
Far from being displeased Mr.. Long
worth smiled and said:
"The story that l have engaged
rooms for my wife, myself and many
friends at the state convention in Day
ton is not true. | do not think | shall
attend and certainly Mrs. Longworth
will not.
Regarding the so-called Cleveland
picnic, at which it has been stated
Mrs. Longworth is to start her cam
paigning for me, she was not even in
vited to be there. | was asked to at
tend and speak at the reunion of the
Cuyahoga county Republican clubs,
but found that | could not do so be-
cause other matters intervene. So
have declined the invitation"
So 1t is determined that Mrs. Long
worth will not follow the example of
many American women in England
who welcomed her recently and who
take most active part in politics and
campaign for their husbands.

STANDARD OIL INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury at Chicago
Returns 10 Indictments.
District Attorney Says Penalty Foi
Each offense Alleged Is Fine ot
Not Less Than $1,000 Nor More
Than $4,000 - There Are 6,42a
Counts In the 10 Indictments.

Chicago, Aug. 2S. - The first and
second federal grand juries returned 10
indictments against the Standard Oil
company before Judge Bethea in the
United States circuit court The in
dictments which contain G,420 counts
ore all in connection with the granting
of rebates.
sEach of the GAPS counts in the 10
indictments covers an alleged offense
and is based on tank car shipment of
petroleum products from the refineries
at Whiting, Ind.
These shipments, it is stated, were
carried by the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, Chicago & Alton, Chicago &
Eastern Illinois, Evansville & Terre
Haute, Illinois Central, Southern and
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail
roads.
According to a statement by the dis
trict attorney the Burlington & Alton
roads had published lawful rates of
Is cents per 100 pounds to East st.
Louis from Whiting and 1872 cents to
st. Louis, but carried oil for the Stan
dard OIL company on a secret unpub-
lished rate at and ~ cents to those
points respectively"
The statement then continues:
"On shipments to points in the
South beyond Grand Junction the
Standard Oil company should have
paid the different lawful rates for the
different points of destination, but was
given concessions which averaged
about 27R per cent of the published
rate. The same is true of shipments
handled by the Chicago & Eastern H.
linois and Evansville & Terre Haute
to Evansville, Ind, and points beyond.
"The concessions given to Standard
Oil company by the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern road were in the
shape of cancellations of storage
charges at Chicago of 5 cents per ton
per day on all oil delayed in delivery
Other oil shippers were compelled to
pay the storage charges.
THE charges against the Illinois
Central and Southern railroads are the
same as those in relation to the ship
ments made to points beyond Grand
Junction
1t was declared by the district at
torney's Office that the penalty for each
offense alleged in the indictments is a
fine of not less than $1,000 nor more
than 100000. 1t is believed by the
government attorneys that the lawyers
for the Standard Oil company will en-
ter the appearance Of the corpora
tion in court as soon as they have ex-
amined the indictments. There is no
authority at present allowing the ar
rest of the officers of a corporation
against which indictments have been
found.

IoHN D. FOR THE SIMPLE LIFE,
Dill King Comes Out as Exponent Of
Less Strenuous Existence,

Cleveland, Aug. 2S.-John d. Rookie
'eller has come out as an exponent of
he simple life. In a Commute con-
yersation Sunday with a newspaper
correspondent he discussed variety
# topics, among them being newspa-
)ers and the mode of living, and joked
about the heat
Although the morning was one Of
he hottest of the season, Mr.. Rookie
eller did not show any effects from
he heat. Daily practice on his golf
inks has hardened him. and he can
endure the sun as well as a man many
Iears his junior. He chatted freely
With the reporter, delaying the Sunday
school and OBTAINING a room full Of
people waiting to shake his hand.
This is really one of the warmest
lays of the year, isn't it?" he remark

oday will be reflected in the headlines
u NliN ptipNl ; pll tllV lilOilON, anu no
smile broadened as he chuckled over
MS little joke.
His conversation showed that he is
,amiliar with the newspapers of New
York. He inquired as to their stand.
ng, the personality of their editors
and discussed their policies. He said
hat the rapid life the Americans are
eading was reflected In the New York
papers.
1--WE are leading an awfully fast life
n this country. 1t Is simply rush,
rush along The newspapers for the
most part keep apace of the times.
They show the life of their readers.
People live too fast. Their life Is ac.
tolerated by the headlines, the concen.
rated excitement all bound up in a
few words. People see the big lines,
rush to read the paper, rush off again

Mr.. Rockefeller made it plain that
mis- ideas regarding newspapers did not
run toward the big headlines.

part of the administration agrarian
program by which II is hoped to win
the peasantry to the support of the
government at the coming elections,
was put in effect yesterday when an
ukase was published transferring A.
100000 acres of appanage lands to the
Peasants bank for distribution to the
peasants. The urgency of the situa-
tion is such that the ukase, which was
signed the day of the attempt on the
life of Premier Stolypin, was gazetied
without waiting for final decision as to
the method and terms of payment The
principal question, whether the latter
shall be SO or GO years, has not yet
been decided. The announcement on
this point and of the transfer of 10000
900 acres of crown lands will be made
