GOVERNMENT TO PROSECUTE
STANDARD OIL TRUST

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Formal an
nouncement of the purpose of the gov
enment to prosecute the Standard Oil
Company was made today by Attorney
General Moody. 1t appears from his
statement that proceedings in the first
instance will be had under the terms of
the Elkins law, which prohibits rebates
in interstate commerce. The Attorney
General however, gives notice that in
all probability should the investigation
he is still making justify it, he will
bring further action against the Stand
ard Oil Company under the terms of the
Sherman Antitrust law and also will
take steps to insure against the continu-
ance on the part of the company of dis
ordinations in trade and transportation
not now the subject of prosecution under
any existing law, but especially provided
against in the pending rate bill.

Upper House Passes Sundry Civil
Appropriation Bill Carrying
100000 900.
LOCK CANAL IS NOW FIXED
Unsuccessful Effort Made to Strike Out
Items Prohibiting canteens at the
Soldiers Homes - Clause Is
Streng gthened Instead.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The oppo.
sition TO the committee amendment to
the sundry civil bill appropriating $25,-
900 annually for the payment of the
travelling expenses of the President
which was begun by Senator McLaurin
resulted today in withdrawal of the
amendment by Senator Hale in charge
of the bill and subsequent passage of
an independent bill providing practically
for the same appropriation which was
recently passed by the House of Repre-.
sentatives.
The greater part of the day was de-
voted to discussion OF this, but con.
siderable other business was transacted,
including the passage of the sundry
civil appropriation bill. An effort was
made to strike out from bill the clause
prohibiting canteens at the soldiers
homes, but instead it was made strong
er. The bill, as passed. carries an ap-
preparation OF $l02,000000.
The bill also retains the House pro-
vision for lock canal at Panama.
Canteens Are Discussed.
With the question of paying the trav-
cling expenses of the President out of
the way, the consideration of the sundry
civil appropriation bill was resumed and
Senator Nelson moved to strike out the
provision providing for canteens at the
soldiers homes. He offered several
statements, one from Archbishop Ire
land, testifying to the improved condi-
tions under the regulated sale of beer
and wine at the homes.
On motion of Hale, the motion was
laid on the table. Senator Hansbrough
offered the following which was agreed
to: Hereafter there shall not be main
tanned at any branch home of the ma
tional home for disabled volunteer SOL
diers, any bar or canteen for the sale of
beer, wine or other intoxicating liquors" !"
The Senate also read the House pro-
vision prohibiting use for sea-level
canal any of the money appropriated
for the Panama canal. 1t was not de-
bated. This fixes the type of canal.

Fire underwriters, cotton exchange
members and representatives of ware

yesterday to discuss steps necessary to
secure the return at New York of nor
NAL conditions respecting cotton insur-
ance rates.
At the meeting the entire subject was
discussed and It was finally decided that
the underwriters should suggest such
changes in the warehouses as We're con-
sidered absolutely essential to return
to normal conditions. The handicaps
that have been placed on cotton ware
housing at New York have had the effect
of renewing the agitation in favor of

HOUSE WILL ADOPT PURE
FOOD BILL UNCHANGED

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The pure
food bill held the attention of the House
throughout today. The constitutional
features of the pure food bill were de-
bated by the leading lawyers of the
House, the democrats splitting wide on
the question, wherever the bill took
away from the states their police
powers. The various features applicable
to localities and interests were discussed
earnestly but it was early apparent
that the bill practically in the form it
came from the interstate and foreign
commerce committee will be adopted.
By a unanimous vote the House passed
the senate resolutions expressing the
sympathy of the people of the United
States with the Hebrews Of the United
States in the massacres of their race in
