edge of practices which the Rookie
feller combine has INDUCED in for
years, and which it was taken for
granted would now come out with
corroborative evidence. Theinves-
tigation has covered a period of a
year or more and has embraced the
work of agents of the department
of commerce and labor in every
section of the country.
Information comes to The Orego-
nian correspondent that in the oil
investigation, moreover, the inquis.
itors have much freer hand than
they had in the beef inquiry, espe.
cially as to the matter of delving in.
to the subject of rates.
The department of justice has
been iu close touch with the depart
ment of justice and labor during
the later months, or at least weeks,
preceding the submission of Mr..
Garfelds report to the president,
and it is pretty we'll understood in
Washington today thst the attorney
general already is prepared to make
his first move against Standard Oil
officials and officials high in the
railroad world for violation of the
Elkins anti rebate law and Of the
Sherman law. prohibiting combines
and conspiracies in restraint of
trade.
In getting evidence regarding re-
bates, 1t has been necessary in ma
ny instances to examine the books
of railroad companies and to obtain
information from railroad officials.
1t is known that in certain instan-
ces railroad men have given direct
evidence of rebates paid to the
Standard Oil Company, and sensa-
tioas are likely to pills one on top
of the other as the details of the re-
port are unfolded.

Washington, May 2.-Standard
Oil is about to 60 against something
stronger than the state of Missouri.
The United States government has
got around to the point at last
where ithas 8 case against the par.
ent of all trusts, and, less all the
advance reports are greatly exsg-

much -heralded report on his inves-
tigation of the oil combination is
sent to the senate and house on
Friday. 1t will be submitted by
the president, who has received it
from the Commissioner, and 1t will
be accompanied by an executive
message. --.
The message in all probability
will have for it's object the clinch-
ing of the effective railroad-rate reg.
ulation which the administration is
determined to secure, as the report
itself will show how favoritism in
rates and rebates has built up the
most stupendous politico-6nancial
industrial institution In the world
"a power that not only controls
the output and the price of the
commodity that gives Its name, but
which, through handful of men,
dominates practically every branch
of trade and commerce in the coun'
try and holds the transportation
systems themselves within it's grasp.
Officials of the Standard Oil Com.
pany, moreover. have somelhipg G
more in store to worry about than
an exposure of the rebates on which
their corporation has fattened at the
expense of the vast multitude OF
shippers who have bad to pay the
freight on which the railroads in
turn pay dividends. Criminal pros.
ecution for conspiracy under the
provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law stares them in the face.
Relating, when ths offenders are
caught at it and brought to justice
means fines. Conspiracy, when
apprehended, means Imprisonment

Death OF An Old Colds bOrO Citizen.

A telegram received in this 1ity
Saturday evening by our townsman,
Mr.. w. X. Lane, announced the sad
intelligence Of the death Of his
brother, Mr.. Sampson Lane, which
occurred very suddenly at Gulfport,
Miss, Friday afternoon, where he
was employed as Assistant Superin-
tendent of Immigr alton for the o..
S. Government, which position he
has held for the past IL years. He
formerly held the same position at
New York, Montreal, Canada and
other places, but was transferred to
Gulfport on account of feeble health.
Mr.. Lane was we'll and favorably
known in this city, where he was
reared, leaving here for Texas about
20 years ago.
He leaves a daughter, who resides
at Lexington, Missouri, and the dis
position of his remains will be left
with her.
Besides daughter, deceased
leaves four sisters, Mrs. Brock, of
Jones county, Mrs. Hugh Humph-
rey and Miss Emma Lane, of this
city, Mrs. Whitfield, OF Fort Worth,
Tex, and two brothers, Messrs. Jno.
Lane, of Portsmouth, Va, w. P.
Lane, of this city, and other rela-
tives and friends to mourn his de-
mise, and to all of these the ARGUS
extends it's sincere coincidence.
Deceased was 55 years of age.

DEATH UF MIX. SAGE
The Great FinanCieF Is No
More.
He Would Have Celebrated His
Eighty-Seventh Birthday on the
Fourth OF August. To be
Buried Wednesday.

New York, July 23.-Russell Sage
died suddenly Sunday at his country
home, "Cedar Croft" at Lawrence,
L. /. The immediate cause of death
was heart failure resulting from a
com plication of diseases incident to
old age. The veteran inancier
would have celebrated his87th birth
day on August.
Mr.. Sage had been in exception
ally good health since his arrival at
his summer home about six months
ago. At noon Sunday he was seized
with a sinking spell and collapsed j,
falling into Inconsistencies about
two hours before his death, which oc-
Cured at 4:30 O'Clock.
There were present at the end
Mrs. Sage, her brother, Col. J. J..
Slocum, Rev. DR.. Robert Leetch,
DR.. Theodore S. Janeway, of New
York; DR.. J. Carl Schmuck, local
physician, and DR.. John P. Mum,
for many years Mr.. sage's family
physician, who was summoned from
New York when the first alarming
symptoms were manifest.
The funeral services will be held
on Wednesday at the West Presby-
terian church, West Forty-second
street, of which Mr.. Sage had been
member for many years. The in
terment will take place in Troy on
Thursday.
Mrs, sagaa and .srother, Cob
S1ocum, are named as the executors
of Mr.. Sage's will.
Mr.. Sage's will probably will be
probated shortly after the funeral.
A former business associate of Mr..
Sage expressed the opinion that the
estate would aggregate we'll beyond
100000, 900 and that the will would
contain many surprises.

POLITICS In NEW YORK.

The New York Sun says the next
governor OF New York will be
democrat and that thatdemocrat will
be the next president of the United
States. Possibly the Sun may not
know what will take place in 1908.
Possigbly therefore, Williasn Jen-
nings Bryan Ct Nebraska is still in
the running.
The next governor OF New York
will undoubtedly be q democrat, and
possibly he may become the choice
of the national democracy. 1t is a
shrewd gues- OF the Sun, which must
be counted a republican pa per.
n this writing MIR. Hearst seems
a winner Of the gubernat nomi-
nation IN New York. He is carry
ing county after county. lie will
icse some democratic votes, but the
na'cOntents and the tioaters would
flock to him and he would be elect
ID. He Was vote-getser last year,
and he will be a vote-getter this
year, Mayor Mcclellan pr poses,
however, to keep him out Of the
nomination by pushing the Gains
OF William Travers Jerome, but the
chances CT nomination do not run to-
wards jerome. On the other side OF
the horse Governor Higgirs expects
denomination, but he may get out OF
the way to let Lawyer Hughes of in
surance prosecution fame run
Neither, howe yer, can be elected.
Governor Higgans certainly cannot
be, and Mr.. Hughes prospects are
not much better
But even if it be assumed that
William Randolph Hearst will be
the next ge~ernarefs New York what
then? Mr.. Hearst says he is not a
candidate for the democratic presi-
dental nomination in 1908.

fire by putting this out with wet
sand. Conductor Bowen, though
badly hurt, worked until exhausted.
Both these men deserve great praise.
There were many others who did all
they could and people came from
nearby to help.
It is said here that Conductor
Bowen reported about SO negroes as
being in the fatal coach, most Of
whom had got on at Rockingham
coming east.
No trains are running east or west
as late as 1880 tonight. The report
here is that about thirty negroes
were killed.

THE NATIONAL BANK OF G0LDSB0RO
Is Installing an Up-tO-date Electri-
cal BURGLAR Alarm System

The National Bank of Goldsboro-
always alive to the best interest and
welfare of it's patrons--is having in
stalled in the banking building an
up-to-date double automatic electri-
cal burglar alarm system.
Mr.. Herman Huhm, of the Elec-
trio Bank Protective Co., Of New
York, has the work in charge, and
he tells us the work will be COM
pleted in few days, after which a
public test will be given by general
manager, E. B. Thaw, of New
York. Its adoption eliminates the
necessity for safes, steel-lined vaults,
heavy built doors, ETC., and there is
practically no limit to the extent Of
the security and protection afforded
by the system, which prevents even
an attempt to enter the bank room
Or vault. It is impossible to even
open the vault door after it has been
sealed by the electrical timers with
cut turning in the entire alarm sys-
tenn.
In addition to the protection af-
forded there will be large outside
gong, which will ring every day at
IL O'Clock.

Elizabeth City, July 23.-Your
correspondent had an interview TO-

and industrial agent of the Norfolk

gagged at present in negotiations
which will, in all probability, bring

Mr.. Merritt said that he was al
ready in correspondence with New

as each side seems satisfied with the
others proposition, it is very prob
able that the colony will be located
in the near future. He stated to the
reporter that he has personally in

will be induced to come and found
them to be Industrious and energetic
agriculturists with no money but
anxious to work.
These will be welcomed gladly by
the farmers along the road, for the

His Biblical Prototype.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
The head of well-known theolo-
gical seminary in the south is accus-
toned to test the ability and self-pos-
session of the students by sending
them into the pulpit with a sealed
envelope in their hands containing
the text of a serman to be delivered
on the-spur of the moment.
On one such occasion the student
on opening his paper, read these in
structions: "Apply the story of Zac-
cheus to your own circumstances and
your call to the ministry"
The student, cleverly enough, de-
livered himself of the following:
Brethren, thesubject on which lad
dress you is comparison between
Zacchens and myself, with reference
to my qualifications for the pulpit.
The first thing we read of Zaccheus
is that he was small of statue. I
never felt so small as I do now. In
the second place, we read that Zac-
cheus was up tree, which is very
much my position at present. Third
ly it is related Zaccheus made
haste to come down: and in this
gladly and promptly follow his ex-
ample.
