Would NoIle Indictments Recently Re-
turned at Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 11:-The fight of the
Standard Oil company against the ten
indictments against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, which were re-
turned Aug. 20, was commenced dur
ing the day in the United States dis
trict court before Judge Lands. The
indictments contain 6,428 counts and
the Standard Oil attorneys entered a
demurrer. 1t is upon the latter that
the proceedings are based. The at
torneys of the Standard Oil company
contended in support of their demur-
rer that section 10 of the rate law
passed by congress June 20 repeals
the Elkins law under which the gov
ernment is bringing the action against
the company and that the indictments
are not sufficiently specific because
they do not comprehend all of the ele-
ments in the case.
The contention of the Standard Oil
company attorneys that the Elkins law
Is repealed by the rate law and that
bffenses cannot therefore be punished
Under the former act was contradicted
by United States District Attorney
Cims, who declared that section 13 Of
the Revised Statutes covered the case
In that it states that the repeal Of an
bid statute does not condone prior
bffenses unless the repeating act so
specifies in particular. s

DECIDES TO CALL A HALT
ROOSEVELT WILL END MOVE:
MENT TO DRAG HIM INTO
PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

Washington, Dec. H. President
Roosevelt has announced his intention
of taking vigorous steps to put a stop
to the movement which has seemed to
be dragging him against his will into
another race as leader of the Repuh.
lican party. - 4>r
In talks with public men the pres
ident has in mind to make his friends
and admirers call halt in their at
tempt to stampede the country into
demanding that he stand for re-elec-
tion in 1908. But he has not unfolded
his plans in their entirety, being con-
tent to assert that the thing he seeks
can be accomplished and that he will
see to it that 1t is. .. -....
One of the reasons brought to bear
on the president by those who insist
that he will be the logical candidate
to succeed himself is that William j.
Bryan Is certain to be the Democratic
nominee and that no Republican aside
from the present White House occu-
pant can defeat him at the polls. Pres
ident Roosevelt, however, does not be-
neve Mr. Bryan is so strong that it
may be said there is only one Repub-
ncan leader who can stand any show
against him and he is not willing to
admit that victory over Bryan would
be difficult matter in the abstract as
matters are now trending.

HAS CHANGE OF RECOVERY
FORMER SENATOR BROWN OF
UTAH SHOT By WOMAN IN
WASHINGTON.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Former Sen
ator Arthur Brown of Utah, who was
shot and seriously wounded Saturday
last by Mrs. Anna NJ. Bradley, still
was stated at the Emergency hospital
that he passed a fairly comfortable
night and that his chances for recov:
cry had improved considerably.
Mrs. Bradley, who has been re-
moved to the house Of detention, spent
sleepless night and is nearer col
lapse than at any time since she did
the shooting. She means piteously
and continually asks for the condition
of her victim. Physicians attending
her are watching for traces of insanity
and will make a report to the district
attorney before the end of the week.
The cause of the shooting, so far as
Mrs. Bradley will say, is that Senator
Brown was the father of her two chill
dren and that he refused to marry her
despite his repeated promises to make
her his wife.
She said she urged Senator Brown
to marry her, that he had been instru-
mental in the divorce between her
husband and herself and that, as his
wife was dead, he now could "do the
right thing" by her. This, she said
he positively refused to do.
Brown and Mrs. Bradley achieved
notoriety about three years ago, when
Mrs. Brown sued for a divorce from
her husband, charging Brown and Mrs.
Bradley with criminal relations

Where New England Is Pre-eminent.
From the standpoint of mental eth
nology New England is as different
from the rest of the United States as
Brittany or Provence from the rest of
France Piedmont from the rest Of It
ally, Bavaria from the rest of Ger
many. Those features the existence of
which can be scientifically proved and
the extent Of which can be readily
measured are high birth rate Of gen.
ius, passion for reading, high d.
vorce rate, low natality, high death
rate from diseases of the nervous sys-

of these traits is obvious. Between
others it is obscure. But we must re-
member that mental ethnology is a

"Slng a Song of Sixpence,'


The old nursery rhyme of "Sing a
Song Of Sixpence' is an ancient allie
cory and very pretty one. The earth
is represented by the bottom of the pie
while the sky is the upper crust. The
clouds are the clothes which the maid
who is daybreak-is hanging on the
line before the king or sun is up. The
money which the "king counts in bis
counting house, are the sunbeams
which slip through the suns fingers
The blackbird, which nips off the
maids nose so unceremoniously and
thus ends the song, is the sunset OF
end of day. The moon and moonbeams
are represented by the queen and her
honey, and thus we have the whole
day amply accounted for. ".

CATHOLIC CHURCH TO IGNORE LAW

THOUSANDS OF CASES LOG.
iCAL OUTCOME.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE press unan1-
mously recognizes the extreme gravity
of the religious issue precipitated by
the popes intransigeant attitude and
many papers predict veritable relig-
ious warfare. The governments cal
culations have clearly been upset and
new legislative authority may be nee
essary to enable it to cope with the
situation. 1t having been decided that
after Dec. II religious services may
not be he'd without preliminary dec
laration under the law of 1881 the
pope's orders entail the immediate
initiation Of prosecutions in $4,000
communes and logically the invasion
of churches by the police for, the pur.
pose Of pronouncing their dissolution
and eXpelling the parish priests. The
militant Catholics seemingly hail with
JOY the prospect Of violence, which will
compel the closing of the churches
with the attendant excitement of relig
ious passions. NJ. Jaures, the Social
ist leader, processes to believe that the
Vatican has deliberately determined
to test the strength of the party OF
reaction in an effort to
Overthrow the Republic.

ever, regard the pope's instructions as

associations contemplated under the

ernment now has no alternative except
or show the ecclesiastics the door
The conservative papers advise the
government to remain true to it's lib.
eral principles, contending that the
more the church is intolerant and
panic stricken the more authority it
will need, provided the government
does not lose its head. The govern
ment has made preparations to cope
with the situation, but is keeping
them secret, evidently waiting to see
whether any considerable proportion
of the clergy will revolt. The cab.
met, however, maintains a resolute
front. Instructions to the public
prosecutors have been telegraphed
broadcast. Premier Clemencean is
quoted as saying:
