The LATE TRAGEDY IN IDAHO
THE ASSASSINATION OF Ex-
GOV. STEUNENBFRG.


Boise, Idaho, Jan 2.-The officers who
are working on the ASSASSINATION OF
Gov. Steunenberg by the explosion of a
bomb at his gate, at Caldwell, a suburb
OF this city, Saturday night, are conf
dent tlat the murderer is still in Cald
well, believing that he has made no at
tempt to call attention to himself by
attempting to leave that place.
They believe that one of the five pow
detained on suspicion will prove to be
guilty OF the crime, though perhaps
with outside accomplices.
ShOshone county, the locality where
the dynamiting riots occurred that ac-
casioned Steunenbergs interference
while governor, has wired that it would
add $4,000 to the reward for the ap
prehension of the murderers.
Gov. G0odng took the responsibility
of offering $4,000. The family of the de-
ceased offered $4,000 and the commits
sioners of Canyon county, where the
crime was committed, offered $1,000
without calling a meeting, making
total reward of $4,000.
1t has finally been determined that
the bomb that blew the former gov
ernor to pieces was composed of nitro
glycerin with gun cotton.
One of the Suspects.
Caldwell, Idaho, Jan. 2.-The officers
believe they have one of the men re-
sponsible for the assassination of eX-
Gov. Steunenberg. He is enc of those
who have been under suspicion. This
man registered at the Saratoga hotel
three weeks ago as NJ. j. Hoglan, Civ
ing Denver as his address, A year ago
he stopped at the Pacific hotel, regis
tering as Thomas HOglan. A search of
his room at the Saratoga resulted in
the discovery of an old Overcoat and
some other rough clothes, also some
fish lines similar to the pieces found at
the scene of the explosion, supposed TO
be part of the string with which the
trigger of the Internal machine was
pulled. Further in his grip was a lot
Of white powder believed to be high
explosive. There was also something
that looked like brown wrapping paper,
but it would not burn. The contents of
the grip are in the hands Of chemists.

There were large number of pool

"These men plead guilty, and tell me
they are only employees said he.
They are what term statesmen Grim

rooms by political leaders as a part OF

is almost impossible to tell whether
they are politicians or criminals. Pool

BIGGER THAN GOVERNMENT
ASTOUNDING ASSERTIONS AS TO

Government Agents BIuntly Told
That the Company Own Congress
and Can DepOsc Secretaries.

Chicago, Dec. 30.--A staff correspOn-
dent of the Tribune te,egraphs from
Philadelphia that agents of the govern
ment who arc pursuing an inquiry into
Standard Oil methods are confronted
with the following statement:
I'VE are bigger than the government.
Standard Oil is stronger than the United
States. We own the senate and the
house. If you pursue your investiga-
tiOns beyond the point necessary to fool
the public We will have you removed.
We can secure the instant deposition of
the secretary Of commerce and labor,
Mr.. Metcalf, ard the commissioner of
corporations, Mr. Garfield. If you per-
secute us in the slightest degree you
will be ont of your job, and if you keep
at the business you will find out what
we say is absolutely true"
Agents of the government were con-
frOnted at the outset by evidence of the
existence of extraordinary secret ma
chinery of the Standard Oil Co, the
correspondent says. They discovered
that it covers the United States and
probably extends into foreign countries.
1t was discovered that this extraordi-
nary secret service of the Standard Oil
CO.. which perIneatcd every city anu
state was in the beginning organized for
the sole purpose of preventing danger
Gus competition. Later on it was di-
verted to other directions, and the
