JOKER IN THE RATE BILL.
eaid Standard OIL Employees May 10.
galiy Ride on Passes.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The Inter-Ocean
has interviewed a number OF railroad
officials as to whether or not there
Is q joker" in the railroad rate bill
which favors the Standard Oil COM
pany. The law makes the Standard
OIL company a common carrier and
one OF It's provisions authorizes the
issuance Of passes to the officers,
agents and employees of common CAR
riers and their families. The law pro-
vides for an Interchange" of passes
between common carriers. The Stand
ard Oil company does not issue passes,
but one railroad Official said that "if
a railroad gives pass to an agent or
any other employee OF any other rail
road It does not make it necessary for
that railroad to- get pass from the
other railroad in order to make in
terchange of passes within the law"
The point is made that as the Stand
ard OIL company has an immense num-
Der OF employees who travel around the
country on business Of the corpora
ton the travelling on passes would in
effect, be giving rebates to the Stand
ard Oil company. 1t is further claimed
that If the railroads want to give free
transportation to Standard Oil men
the government is powerless to inter-
fere under the new rate law.

Joke on Secretary Taft Has Wide Cir
culation. ~,
Washington, Aug. 27-Secretary
Taft has found his way into comic
papers all over the world as the result
OF the joke Associate Justice Brewer
OF the United States supreme court
told on the rotund secretary of war at
the recent Yale commencement.
The pleasantly of the distinguished
jurist was based on a compliment he
desired to pay to the chivalry of Yale
men.
Yale men everywhere are polite"
said Justice Brewer. But Secretary
Taft is the most polite man l ever
saw in my life. Why, the other day
was in a street car with him and he
got up and gave his seat to three wo-
men,"
Scores of clippings based on this
joke reach the war department every
week. 1t has found it's way into many
languages, but the Germans seem to
appreciate it most. Many of the Ger
man papers comment on the story at
length and say that at last the Yam
KEGS seem to be developing real wit.

the race tracks in front of the grand
stand Of the Reedsburg fair grounds
at noon prevented Senator Robert
M. La Toilette from concluding his

The trouble came as a result of a
conflict between the horsemen, who

It was general melee, continuing
for half an hour, in which the contend

ed and lacerated persons were lying
around the spot where the bomb OK
ploded. Among those killed was Gen
eral Zameatin, who during the war
with Japan was chief of communica-
ton. General Zameatin was the pre-
mier''s personal secretary. About fifty
persons were killed or wounded. The
two revolutionists who remained in
the coach were severely wounded by
the explosion of the bomb,
Colonel Stein, who was chief of DO
lice at the Tauride palace, where the
lower house of parliament held it's
sessions, was also killed.
The two revolutionists, or at least
one of them, appear to have been able
to enter the room occupied by the
premier's secretaries, but were not
able to enter the Office of the premier,
whereupon one of the men hurled
bomb at the wall separating the sec:
retaries' room from the minister's pri-
vate Office, resulting, in the revolution
lists being blown to pieces and the
house being almost completely
wrecked, Flames Immediately broke
out among the wreckage, but the fire
was soon extinguished by the firemen,
who were hastily summoned.
1t was Premier Stolypin's reception
day and many visitors were in the
house. The exact number of killed or
wounded is not known owing to the
frightfully mutilated state of many of
the corpses and the fact that some of
the wounded were carried to nearby
residences. It is believed, however,
that twenty-five persons were killed
and twenty-four wounded people were
taken to neighboring hospital.
