GIVES GOVERNMENT
RIGHT TO APPEAL
House Passes Important Bill and
Senate Considers Similar
Measure.
- w. w. Jermane.

Washington, April 21.-Congress has
it in it's power, before the end of the
present session, to enact legislation that
will prevent recurrence of what took
place in Chicago when Judge Humph-
rey threw the government out Of court
in the beef trust cases.
The house has already passed bill,
introduced by Mr.. Martin of South Da-
kota, providing that the government
shall have the right to appeal cases
such as those which the Illinois federal
judge decided, and it is believed that
the senate will be disposed to favor it.
islation should not be had, and every
reason, in the light of the Humphrey
ruling why it should be had. Yester-
day, Mr.. Martin introduced bill which
supplements that just referred to. He
provides in this bill for declaration
of the intent of congress regarding the
immunity statutes; that is to say, he
provides for a statute stating Just how
far congress intends the immunity pro
visions to. apply. He would give i'm
mnnity. only to persons who are called
to testify under oath, or who disclose
evidence, documentary or OF other char
acter, under. oath.
In Line With Message.
The bill is an effort to comply with
the presidents recent message in which
he asked for such a. declaration. 1t
was prepared by Mr.. Martin after con-
sultation with Attorney General Moody,
and meets the presidents views per-
fectly. Senator Knox introduced SIM
liar bill in the senate on Thursday.
There are four of these immunity
provisions embodied in the federal law.
The first one was made part OF the
original interstate commerce act OF
1857. The second is in the act creating
the department of commerce and labor.
The third is in the Elkins anti-rebate
act, and the fourth is in the act setting
apart 100000 as a special prosecution
fund for the department of justice
! passed in 1904, when the administration
began it's vigorous campaign against
| the trusts. .-..-. ~ 80,
Mr.. Martin will not be here to look
after these measures personally, but he
will leave them in good hands. He left
for South Dakota today. =

100000 Paid for Church Prop.
erty in Philippines Divided
Into Three Funds.
Special Gable to The Journal.

SpoC1Hl SaOAe u LIS JOuTHd1s
Rome, April 21.-The controversy
over the distribution of the 100000
paid by the United States government
for the purchase of friar lands in the
Philippine islands, has been definitely
settled by the Vatican.
According to the decision made pub
lie today, the interest on the money will
be divided. into three separate sums
which will be distributed yearly by the
Vatican as follows:
One third to the Philippine dioceses,
according to their need; another to the
institution erected by the religious or
ders, largely for their missions in the
far east, and also to support the aged
friars who we're in the Philippines.
Cardinal M. Del Val, the papal secre-
tary Of state, warmly urged settle
ment of this matter and it was largely
due to his efforts that it was disposed
of on the above basis.
The decision of the Vatican is Of
great Importance to the friar orders
in the Philippines, as the entire sum
has been tied up owing to conflicting
claims, some of the orders still insist
ing that their title to lands included in
the sale, were exempt, pending pay
ment of the purchase money.

Lively Campaign Ended.

Finally after a meeting of the Butler
Brothers directors, in Chicago, on March
10, it was announced that the company
would come here under one certain con
dition. The proposition of the Walker
interests did not quite meet this and
again the business interests jumped
into the breach to evolve a plan
whereby the two could be brought to-
gether.. Butler Brothers were informed
by telegraph that their proposition had
been received and was accepted. The
same information was wired to the
Walker interests. Then the local com
.mittee settled down to make the thing
go. The business interests stood BY
Loyalty and the northwestern exten-

one strong point favoring Minneapolis.

Climate and Consumption.

! We are to-day learning the truth
that there is no particular climate foc
consumption. Wherever can be found
pure air-the less moisture in it the
better-there will the sufferer from
tuberculosis be able to fight his disease
sometimes TO a successful finish-if
he can at the same time obtain the
proper rest and food. Two generations
doctrine would have been hooted at as
the delusion of a mailman, yet it is the
truth. The mountain sanatOria of
Switzerland, the pine woods of Prus-
sia, Of Canada and of New York, the
dee fields of Alaska bear witness to it.
tuberculosis is stopped by the pure air
OF all these varied climates; and it has
been accident far more than design,
experience far more than theory, that
found this out. One generation ag1
the whole southwest would have been
at the north with the picturesque
bowie or Colt, had anyone dared open
ly to assert, much less to insist on,
such a pernIcious doctrine, but to-day
those who are seriously studying the
facts feel compelled to acknowledge
the truth of it, while the advocates OF
climate per Sc are beginning to say
nay, are eager to have us under
stand-that their climate is not every
thing; that it won't work miracles, ana
that there are some cases Of consump-
ton hat their glorious climate Will
not cure; and-what a change!-there
are to be heard protests, here feeble.

habit long ago planted by the south
west, now firmly rooted in the north
and east. of sending all sorts and con-
ditions Of t%uberculous patients by tens,
by thousands, by tens of thousands.

After operating for awhile in Okla
homa and Indian territory, Carrie Ma
ton invaded Texas, where she is be-
lieved to have got into a bad mess. An
%arreverent rum-selling person in Hous-
ton had named his saloon after the re-
doubtable Carrie, who, on hearing OF
this infamy, descended on the place and
demolished several hundred dollars
worth of property. Under the Texas law
such an eccentricity as destroying an
other persons property is a long-term
offense, and unless Mrs. Nation can
soften the saloon-keeper's heart or heal
the wound in his bank account she may
fnd her way into Jail.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS,
Decision in G. o. Cases.

Judge Niles, Federal District Judge
of Mississippi, rendered a decision in
the somewhat famous G. 0. d. whisky
injunction cases sustaining the %injunc-
ton of the whisky dealers and grant,
ing the relief sought. The Judge, in
abe course of his opinion, said in part:
"The proof in these cases shows that
large quantities of whisky were con-
signed to the American Express Com.
pany at Kansas City, Mo-, to be carried
to different Offices in Mississippi, upon
the payment of G. o. d. charges. 1t is
not satisfactorily shown hat the ex-
press company engaged in the business
of selling through it's agents in the
State intoxicating liquors ship
ped by it for that purpose from thu
State of Missouri as a mere desire to
evade the police regulations of the
State of Mississippi. When such Or
ders are given or sent by mail the on
tract is made, not where the order is
given, but where it is filled and put
upon the cars. Whether the State laws
are f~lagrantly violated by the receivers
of G.. o. ID. whisky is not a question for
this court, That the laws of the State
were violated by citizens of the State
at Gallman, Flora and Senatobia is,
from the proof, highly probable, but
these accounts of lawlessness, if any,
were committed after the liquors had
passed from the hands of the express
company to the consignee."

Dayton, O., Feb. 10.-Paul Laurence

died at his home here Friday after
noon, of consumption. For three years
he had been seriously i'll, and for a

was not the duty of the New York court
to determine the competency of he
evidence which he was seeking to elicit
from H. H. Rogers, but was prevented
from getting by Judge Gilders!eeve.

"Auri Sacra Fames.o

President Schurman of Cornell uni
versity said recently that the uni
versal passion for money and for what
ever money buys is an alarming pie
nomenon. The Chicago Tribune will
not have it so. 1t says: ut is true
that Americans ask for and. as a rule,
obtain more of the things money buys
than they did half a century ago.
That is not an alarming phenom-
enon.' 1t is due to the fact that they
a afford to live more comfortably.
Salaries and wage are higher than
they used to be. Many articles which
were so costly once as to be looked
on as luxuries are within reach OF the
man who has a small purse. The In
creasing deposits in the savings
indicate that the workers of the u
try are not wasteful of their earnings.
President Schurman has drawn gen
eral conclusions from particular in
stances. The disclosures Of the mis-
deeds of some once trusted men who
managed certain insurance companies
have Mortified him. and he argues that
most men are no better than the get
rich-quick' financiers of New YORK,
and would act like them if put III their
places. That is not a safe conclusion.
There is still enough integrity left IN
this country to make it worth living
In. There are rotten spots In the body
polite, but as a whole it is SOUND
The passion for money has not be-
come so universal and ungovernable
as to make this generation what Presl-
dent Schurman says it is-one which
has no fear Of God before it's eyes"
On the other hand, 1t is to be said
that the teachers and scholars are with
Mr.. Schurman in great numbers. Not
being business men" perhaps they
do not know; nevertheless they seem
pretty nearly one and all to be
alarmed over the passion for money
and the things it will buy that
is shown in our American life. Prof.
James, Of Harvard, says that the e
ly strenuous life is that Of voluntary
poverty and that the fear Of pow
erty that has developed among mod.
ern Americans and Englishmen is one
Of the phenomenal characteristics Of
the times and that we need more than
any men in history to get over this
fear.

Paris. Feb. 1.-THE Countess dc
Castellane has won a notable victory
in the French courts. Boat de Castel-
lare mas been barred from the family

the Countess Anna has besn granted
the temporary care of her children and
a SEPARATE domicile.
The countess remains in the man

that the New York family Of the coun-
tess is actively approving her move.
Rumors of a reconciliation, therefore,
are set at naught.
Because of this new development
friends of Count Boni are Struggling
their shoulders. They know the full
meaning Of an absolute break, and they
are agreed, unwillingly, that the most
serious situation in the trouble of Such
Ions standing has been reached. The
countess has presented papers e5tab-
fishing prima facie right to begin an
action. The papers do not specify the
Games of the persons she accuses, but
recite incidents in which he is said
to be implicated. The real bill, not yet
fled, will DEPEND upon the pending con-
ferences over financial affairs. If these
are satisfactorily adjusted. the countess

such a decree being extended to a COM

cided whether the bill shall ask for a
complete aunullment of her marriage.
Her friends are rather inclined to re-

this would prevent the remarriage OF
