1t being reported that an offer of $50, 000
has been made by Leesburg and vicinity for
the extension of the road in that direction;

Whether this extension is to be made in
the direction of Leesburg, Vienna or Hern-
don. is not intimated but it Is known that
a gentleman who has been very active in
making surveys Iand obtaining options OF
right of way, and who is closely connected
with railroad interest in the north, is con-
fident that the first move on the part of the
road VIII be in the direction of Vienna and
this opinion Is also expressed by influential
persons at Fairfax Court House. through
which place. il is said. the new line will
pass.

IGNORED GRAND JURY ORDER.
Tobacco Trust Officers Cited for Al
legged Contempt


The federal grand jury at New York yes
terday asked Judge Lacombe to adjudge in
contempt William H. McAlister. secretary
of the American Tobacco Company; VIII
liam E. Ransom, secretary of the MacAn-
drews & Forbes Co, and John s. Young
of the John s. Young Company of Balti-
more, for having failed to produce certain
books and records as cited in subpoenas
made returnable June 4. The men appeared
on that date, but did not produce the books.
They appeared again Monday, but did not
produce the data, claiming that it was not
in their possession, and also on the addi-
tional claim that the books contain per-
sonai as well as official matter. They Of
fered, however, to produce letters asked
for. Judge Lacornbe fixed Saturday for ar
guing the proceedings against the men.
The argument before Judge Lacombe in
support of the presentment of the grand
jury was made by Special Assistant Attor-
ney General Taft, brother of Secretary
Taft, who is in charge of the governments
investigation Of the tobacco trust. Mr..
Taft argued that the books which the wit
nesses repeatedly failed to produce, in par
ticular the letter press copy books of the
MacAndrews & Forbes Co., subsidiary
poration of the American Tobacco Com
pany, contain the preliminary arrange
ments for the "cornering' not only in the
United States, but practically in the world
of Hcorice paste, an article used in the
manufacture of plug tobacco. Counsel for
the accused claimed that they contained
the personal letters of President Karl Jung
bluth of the company, access to which the
government had no right to demand.
Replying. Mr.. Taft charged the witness
with refusing to produce the books on the
advice of counsel, hoping thereby to force
the government to subpoena Jungbluth and
render him immune from prosecution for
any violation of the antitrust law, as under
his constitutional privilege he could not
forced evidence himself
Judge Lacombe suggested that the letter
book be produced before him, and said
that he would examine 1t and determine
what portions of it were material

GEN. coRBIN AT WEST POINT.
An Address to the Graduating Glass
Yesterday.

Lieut. Gen. Henry c. Corbin delivered an
address to the graduating class at West
Point, N. Y, yesterday afternoon after Tha
Stars report closed, which was devoted
mainly to advice and encouragement to
the young officers to strive to maintain
the high standard and ideals Of the service.
As compared with the opportunities OF
civil life presented to young men of their
training and character, Gen. Corbin said
the service called for many sacrifices and
hardships He pointed out that their rae
OF pay per day will for years be less than
Is now paid to skilled mechanics. Gen.
Corbin continued:
Those entering the foot service will re-
ceive $3.50 per day, while mounted officers
win receive $417 per day. The present pay
per day of prlcklayers is So; of plasterers,
So: of carpenters and painters, $3.50; so that
all skilled labor has better per diem than
the government gives the graduates of he
Military Academy. A careful survey of
the field fails to discover any signs of an
increase in the very near future. So those
of you accepting service should do SO with
this understanding we'll in mind, fully de-
termined to meet and abide by those eondi-
lions cheerfuly."

On March l6 the Santa Fe made what
was considered a star play by lessen

carries the mail for the southwest,
reaching Kansas City yer the Mis-

When the change was made In the

Rock Island made a rather peculiar
move by pushing up the running time

this the connection with the Golden

emily had a cinch on the through
