STANDARD on PROSECUTIONS.
Special Counsel 10 Collect Facts on which
TO Base Criminal Actions.

WASHINGTON. June PA long confer
ence was held at the White House this after
noon on the proposed investigation of viola
tons Of the antitrust laws by the Standard
Oil Company. Besides the President there
were present Attorney-General Moody.
Assistant to the Attorney General Purdy
and Messrs. Morrison and Kellogg, the
special counse employed by the Department
Of Justice to conduct the investigation.
The Department already has in its possess
sion certain information tending to show
that the Standard Gil Company has not
only benefited through freight rebates and
determinations but has violated the Sher-
man act and other statutes relating to trusts
and monopoiies. This information is not in
shape to be presented in court, however,
and there are many gaps in the evidence
to be supplied. Messrs. Morrison and KEEL
logg will devote their time for the next few
weeks to an effort to reach the facts and to
determine whether prosecutions will lie.
After the conference to-day no official
statement was forthcoming, although Mr..
Moody told in a general way what were the
objects of the meeting n what the De-
partment was trying TO DO. He referred TO
his statement on this subject issued several
days ago and declined to 90 much further
into a discussion OF the subject.
1t ia not expected that the Investigation
to be made by M. Morrison and MIR. Kellogg
will bear fruit before the autumn or cary
winter, but the Department Of Justice il
pretty well satisfied that information Of a
character upon which the prosecutions may
he based will result from the inquiry.
The several District Attorneys who have
been in conference with the Attorney-Gen-
eral and his assistants for several days.
have returned to their homes. Mr.. Moody
explained this afternoon that the object Of
their visit here was to receive Instructions
and advice from the Department in regard
freight rates aud determinations. The Dis
trict Attorneys will exercise their own judg-
ment to a large extent as ia, whether special
Grand Juries shall he summoned. In some
cases it will be possible to pre- cent the Gov
ernment's evidence to the Grand 'iuries
within TIE next mouth or 50.

iSpncfH Cab!e Despatch 10 THE sun.
LONDON, June pa great proportion
of the people in society are r~ascals; in fact
we are all more or less rascals," The dictum
IL George Bernard Shaw's. 1t was uttered
in the course OF an address to we'll to do
persons on behalf Of u crusade against this
evils of lead glazing among the pottery
workers.
Mr.. Shaw asked his hearers If they cared
whether the plates from which they ate
had given some poor wretch paralysis from
lead-poisoning, adding, sarcastically:
IF you care you are getting on"
His faith in the real sympathy Of his
hearers was evidently weak. He proceeded
to denounce the rascality Of the employers
of industry. He said:
"Even you good people who have what
you f~acetiously call independent means
are more or less ~rascals. A great deal of
the means you enjoy is made in a rascally
way, even those which l Zee in so many
beautiful hats and costumes before me-"
Mr.. Shaw forcibly painted the miseries
of the poor and scofed at the life of the
rich, saying they were throwing away
about fS, 900, 600 yearly on e~xtravagances
of every sort, much Of the money, which Is
so badly wanted at home, being spent
abroad. From his it was a natural transit
ton to a Pharisaic Shawism: =
Il am now in a position to live the life Of
pleasure lived by the idle rich. | possess
all the material concomitants for it, but l
would infinitely rather sweep a crossing.
Thank heaven, l have strength Of mind
enough and sanity enough to despise the life
which riches enable ms to live"
His socialistio deaunci1tions boxed. the
compass. He dubbed politics society's
most dangerous amusement, and coming
to the Chicago exposures said II was curious
60 observe that not one note OF concern
was uttered in behalf of the poor wretches
who timed the meat. 1t was all for the con-
sumner and the beef itself. He declared
that these meat horrors may mean more
than has been suggested. What If the
workmen in the packing houses purposely
poisoned the meat in an effort to wreak
vengeance on property owners for their
neglect of their brothers welfare7 That
was not improbable.
When a man thinks so much of the wrongs
of societ Y hat he throws a bomb, regard
less of his own life, he m u be in earnest.
The features of the man who perpetrated
the Madrid outrage were not those Of a
vicious man. In his ignorant way he
thought he was doing sonnet hing for his
fellow men. Il should like to see" added
Mr.. Shaw, members of society as anxious
to betterthe conditions OF our proletariat.'

house in Barre with Fred Batchelder, who
died in a mysterious manner March l6,
and who nursed him during his illness,
was arrested Monday on a charge OF mur-
der. The case was continued until Satur-
day. The prisoner was taken, meanwhile,
TO Washington county jail in Montpelier.
Batehelder was taken i'll Wednesday
night, March Il. He became violently III
the following day, March Is, and died Fri
day morning, March 10. His case was
diagnosed at Iirst as acute indigestion,
but later it was thought It might have
been due to eating poisoned candy, but
this theory has been abandoned.
Roy Sykes, who roomed in the same
house with BatcheldPr, was taken III in a
similar manner March 10. He recovered
sufficiently TO go to his home in Windsor
for week and has now entirely recovered.
Bateheder's stomach was sent to the
state laboratory OF hygiene at Burlington
for examination, where it is understood a
considerable quantity OF arsenic was found.
On the strength OF this report warrant
was issued for Mullen's arrest.
1t is alleged that on the night Sykes be-
came III he had returned late and was
offered a sandwich by Mullen, who inti-
mated that he might be hungry. Mullen
also ate a sandwich About three and one
half hours later Sykes became violently i'll.

stances. Mullen was with Batchelder dur

him when he died. Mullen is a compare
tive stranger in Barre. lie claims hat he

legged to be the faulty enforcement oil the

Panama canal. the immigration and Chi
nese exclusion laws. They also criticised
the injunction provisions of federal laws.
President Roosevelt said that the in
junction had been OF late used more freely
against capitalists than laborers, and that
the capitalists wanted it cut out. lie said
he believed in the eight hour law for our
own county and our own people, but that
conditions were far different at Panama,
and that il would be an absurdity TO en-
force such law there. He favored eX-
Guiding the Chinese coolies, but not the
Chinese merchants or better classes. The
country ought, he said, to prevent the en-
try of people who will reduce the stand
