Justice GiderSIesVs Gives Wavto
 Missouri Court
.HADLEY NOT DISCOURAGED
Says Both Judges Have Practically Conceded the Materiality of Cues tons Which Will Have to Be
 Answered Later

New York, January sl,-A decision that Henry II. Rogers. vice president of the Standard oil company of New Jersey, shall not be compelled to answer the ques- tons which he recently refused to an- swer in the taking of testimony here in the ease of the state of Missouri against the Standard oil company of Indiana and other oil companies was handed down to- day by Justice Gildersleeve in the su- preme court.
 The application to compel MT. Rogers to answer the questions was made by Attorney General Hadley of Missouri The companies affected in this case are the Standard oil company of Indiana. the Waters Pierce oil company and the Republic oil company. The state of Mis- souri seeks to oust them from doing bus- ness in Missouri The application was denied for the reason that in Justice Gill; derseeves opinion the court of original Jurisdiction in Missouri should determine the question raised by Mir Hadley Leave lo renew this application was granted Mr. Hadley.
 In his decision Justice Glldesleeve said:
 Object is Forfeiture of Charter.
 "The object in the proceedings is the forfeiture of the charter of the Waters Pierce company and the licenses of the two foreign companies. It is claimed that these companies have entered Into an agreement that is violation of the anti trust law of Missouri
 The principal questions to which the witness refused to answer relate to the ] ownership of the stock of the respondent corporations l have before me the re- cord or the examination of certain wit nesses in these proceedings before E special commissioner in the state of Alis- souri. This record shows a eertlheation by this commisslonee to the court of sim- lar questions to thoR asked Of MT Rog- CTS which were put to a witness named Adams, who declined to answer
 "1 am satisfied from an examination of the record and the briefs now before that court that it will consider the sufhciency of the certihcation to raise the question of the materiality of the testimony bear ing on stockownership by the resnond- ents IL will be the duty of the Missouri court to constf2le the certiieation and determine its legal effect, It may, or may not pass on the materality of the testi- mony in the question
 "Due regard of the court of original jurisdiction demands that this court should await the decision of the supreme court of Missouri and not at this time consider the proprlety of compelling the witness, Rogers, to answer any question relating to stock ownership in the re- spondent companies
 In denying Attorney General Hadley's application the court declared that this action Is taken without prejudice to future application of the same nature.

HOUSE CONTINUES
 RATE BILL DEBATE
MIR. BARTLETT THINKS PEN DING MEASURE A PROPER REMEDY FOR INToLERABLE CONDITION. SANTo DOMINGO IN SENATE.

Washington, January 31.-Discussion or the railroad rate bill continued in the House today. Incident to it two speeches the efforts of Mir Campbell of Kansas, and Mir Martin of South Dakota took a wide range, and swept the horizon of trust evils generally
 MT. Bartlett of Georgia. minority mem Der of the committee which reported the bill, made a two hours speech in which he reviewed the legal and constitutional questions involved and advocated the pas sage of the bill as proper remedy for an intolerable condition. The first speech in opposition to the bill which concluded the days discussion. was made by Mir. Perkins of New York. He based his op- position to government control of railroad rates as an inherent aversion to gov ernment control of business enterprises Red tape and fixed conditions, he said. were an inseparable part of government action in any matter. A bill was passed granting a federal charter to the Car negie school for the advancement of teaching. The fund is s10.000,0O0 the in- come of which is to furnish pension to retired educators.
 Washington, January 3l.--In the Senate today MT Patterson strongly endorsed the position of the President in Santo Do- mingo and in the matter of the laoroccan conference.

Candidates Are Fast Coming
 Into the Open
SPLIT ON FEMALE SUFFRAGE
of Poland Is Also Causing Trouble in the Ranks of the Con stitutional Democratic
 Party.

St. Petersburg, January a.-The pre- election activity has reached an acute stage although the date of the convoea- tion of the national assembly, or even of the date of holding the elections is un known Candidates of various parties are daily coming into the open and all fac tions are taking an active interest in the campaign. The only effective boycott of the preparations seem to be that which is due to the sympathy of the commer- cial classes and other conservative and unprogressive elements. The eligible members of the social democrats. the League of Leagues and other extremist organizations. in spite of their fulmina- tions against the assembly, are registered as individuals and intend to exercise the franchise The main center of political activity at present is Moscow where the moderates. following the example of St. Petersburg, have established political club and are planning to publish paper under the editorship of Prince Eugene Troubetsky.
 Female Suffrage Is stlckler.
 The defections from the ranks of the constitutional democrats are now assum- ing the character of an open split, with female suffrage and the autonomy of Pc lapl < the two principal points of diff feren Among the candidates at Mos COW are -~inces Galilitzlin. M. Duchkoff and Dmitri shipoff, representatives of this faction. They demand the putting forward of Mm. Golovin and Kokoshkin, Prof. Mouromtzeff and M. Kroushevan. editor of the notorious Jew batting Droug tFriend), and also the announced caldi- dacy of Father Gapon. who has retarned to. St. Petersburg to push ais plans for moderate labor organization, which con templates the establishment of news paper.
 The project for giving Russia "con- stitution" by making alterations in the fundamental laws of the empire so as to harmonize them with the imperial mani festo of October 30 will be taken up for consideration tomorrow by the Solsky commission which includes besides the cabinet ministers other leaders of the government and men prominent in public life.
 Developments at Vadivostok
 The censorship is now being relaxed in the case of press dispatches from Vlad- ivostok, but the telegrams received are of no later than January B. and cover only the development of the mutiny. The telegraph strike, which cut off Vladiyo- stok from direct communication with Russia since the end of November, was Of great service to the revolutlonists, as 1t allowed the circulation of the most sensational rumors and accounts of events here for month before the collision was precipitated.
 On January 22 the garrison at Vladivo- stok was practically in a state of open mutiny The few loyal Cossacks were in tmidated and even attacked. Revolu- tionary organizations were formed and meetings were held in barracks, on board ships and in the forts, in open defiance of the orders of General Selivanoff the commander of the tro&Rs. The encounter of January 23 was precipitated by the ar rest of the leaders of the movement by General Selivanoff.

ar IMMIGRANTS

nU~ec the South most needs in
y Say of desirable immigration
is about to be supplied through the
organization of the State Immigra-
ton Society. 1t is understood that
an attempt is to be made to bring
the immigrants direct from Europe
to the port of Savannah and from
that point distribute them through
out the state to the points where
they are needed. 1t will be neces-
sary for the society to send its
agents to Europe to secure the
very best immigrants. This will
be done, and in that way the best
results will be achieved. This is
a question of vast Importance to
the South. It must be discussed
and settled in a businesslike way,
and from the organization of the
State immigration Society at Sa
vannah the most satisfactory re-
suits are expected.

Where is the drop stitch hosiery.
And where the peek-a-boo
That summer breeze fiirted with
And dimples glimmered through?
The chilly breezes of autumn
Walls out its wild despair.
For it has sought them high and low
And found not anywhere.
Where is the naughty iceman
Who glared at us erstwhile,
And left a wet spot on the step,
Departing with our pile?
His place is taken by a wight
Who fills the box with ice.
And humbIy thanks us and departs
With half the erstwhiIe price.
There are no birds in last years nest
And in last summers shoes
There is no drOp-stitch hosiery,

Do hold no dimpled shoulders now;

And papa's saving up the roll

WHY LIVES ARE SHORTER.

In part | of the third volume of
the United States census for 1900
will be found : tabulated statement
which shows In o very striking way
the rise In the death rate during the
decade from 1890 to 1909 for all
ages from 60 up The figures given
are now six years old. and so | have
brought them up to date, with the
help of fresh information from Wash
ington---a matter of no little import
ance, inasmuch as the increase has
been marked ever since 1900. Thus
correct for accuracy, the reckoning
shows that since 1890 there has been
this increase in the death rate for the
entire United States:
For people of ages from 60 to ca,
I per cent.
For people of ages from 6j to Go.
Ga per cent.
For people of ages from 30 to "A.
16h per cent
For people of ages from IS to 10.
Z per cent.
For people of ages from so TO 81,
10 per cent.
For people of ages from So to SO.
IL per cent.
For people of ages from 90 to 81,
80 y per cent
For people of ages from 95 aud up.
2Ola per cent.

clearly than the most eloquent dis
course on the subject. They show
