NEW YORK, March 24.-It is ex-
pected that when the Standard Oil
hearing is resumed next week At
torney General Hadley will commence
his efforts to prove the second portion
of his case-namely that the manage
ment of the waters-Pierce company
and the Republic Oil company as well
as the Standard Oil company are under
the supervision of the officers of the
Standard Oil company.
At the conclusion of today's hearing
Assistant Attorney General Rushlake
served upon Lawyer Hagerman, repre-
senting the defense, an order requiring
his clients to produce on Monday next
over a hundred letters that are said
to have passed between the respondent
companies in the west and rs Broad
way.
These letters it is understood, are
expected to disclose the control of the
two companies operating in Missouri,
by the Standard Oil and show that
even the detail of the management is
directed from 26 Broadway.
Lawyer Hagerman of the Standard
Oil company said at the conclusion of
the hearing today that he felt rather
pleased at the result of the first days
work.
Speaking of the admissions made as
to the stock ownership of the two COM
panies he called attention to the fact
that they had been made subject to
exceptions as to their materiality a
point for the higher courts yet to pass
on. While Attorney General Hadley
seemed to think that he had prac-
tically proven his case, Lawyer Hager-

FALSELY ACCUSED, PRUDY FORD
JUMPS IN RIVER
Woman Who Made Accusation May
Be Prosecuted-Mass Meeting
Held and Strong Resou-
tions Passed

Special to The Herald.
HARTFORD, KY. March A.-Prudy
Ford, who drowned herself yesterday
because of the charge made against her
that she had stolen property and money
from her roommate, was unjustly ac-
cused.
The watch and clothing she was sup
posed to have taken were found today,
as we'll as $40 that was missing with
them. They were recovered by the
lady with whom she boarded and who,
it now also appears, was really respon-
sible for the indignity heaped upon the
young school girl.
So strong is the feeling here that as
soon as these facts became known a
petition was circulated calling for a
mass meeting. This was held and
strong resolutions adopted. There is
some talk of criminal prosecution.
The letter of Miss Ford to her sweet
heart told of the mental anguish of
which she was the victim. 1t said In
part:

a false charge brought against me. |

Governor Curry, whose former home

DECLARES FEW COLLEGE

COLLEGE PRESIDENT DEFENDS
STUDENTS
Says Less Than Five Per Cent Of
One Hundred Become Moral Rep

Largo
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, March 24.-Charles r.
Thwing, president of the Western Re-
serve university, spoke at the annual
meeting of the Northwestern Alumni
association of that institution last
night, in refutation of the statements
credited to reformers that they find
large proportion of collegebred men
among the men with whom they work.
1T is seldom that college graduates
go to the bad" said President Thwing,
land it is seldom that their lives or
careers are inefficient. Less than five
college men out of 100 become moral
reprobates, and I think that less than
10 per cent lead useless careers. Nine
ty-five college men out of every hun
dred are reputable, and ninety out of
every hundred are making some con-
tributions of worth for the betterment
of the community.
"I have had q personal acquaintance
with hundreds of thousands of college
graduates and the number who go
wrong is much less than many pop
ular interpretations of statistics indi-
cate.
Dissipation usually is revolving to
men of good taste. College men are
supposed to be gentlemen. They en-
body the canons of good taste. Their
intellectual character, if not their
moral develops high appreciations.
Therefore most forms of dissipation
are repulsive to them. The atmos-
phere of the academic life contradicts
appetite"

ANNUAL EXPENSE TO POSTAL
DEPARTMENT
More Than Seven Million Packages
Encumber the Mails With Weight
of Three Hundred and Forty-five
Tons
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON. March 24.-Post-
master General Cortelyou has supplied
Representative Tawney, chairman of
the house committee on appropria-
tions, with a memorandum as to the
actual cost to the postoff1ce depart
ment of handling the seeds furnished
by the department of agriculture for
free distribution. The postmaster gen.
eral states: CAS- nearly as can be es-
timated, the cost of carrying a pound
of this mail matter varies from five
to eight cents.
"I have been informed that the ag-
gregate weight of vegetable and
flower seeds distributed annually by
the department of agriculture under
frank is $4,000 pounds. The estimated
number of packages is 100000. Com
putting at the lowest estimate five
cents a pound. the cost of handling
this matter is $34,500'
The postmaster general says that
while it is improbable any additional
clerks or carriers are employed solely
on account of this distribution, it is
nevertheless self-evident that these
100000 packages clog the mails ard
take up the time of large number
of clerks and carriers, who might
otherwise be profitably employed.

Grewsome Find of
Baggage Man at

Remains of Man Found With Indlca-
tions That He Was Forced Into
Receptacle AIlve-officers
Probing Mystery
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
STOCKTON, March 24.The baggage
man at the Southern Pacific depot to-
about 3s years of age jammed into a
large trunk. Officers who have been
working on the case assert that the
man was placed in the trunk while
alive, and that he was crowded into
such position that the blood was
forced out of his nose and mouth, kill
ing him.
1t was not until after the o'clock
train this morning had left for Sacra-
mento that the trunk was seen on a
baggage truck. The man in charge of
the baggage was of the opinion that
some one would claim the property or
have it checked, but as no one put in
an appearance he hauled the truck into
the baggage room tonight about 8
O'Clock, when for the first time the odor
almost overcame him.
Covered With Blood
The coroner and district attorney
were notified and forced open the
trunk, the lid of which was carried up
ward several inches by the legs of
the man being released.
The body and bottom OF the trunk
were covered with blood. One front
tooth had the appearance of having
been broken off and it is possible the
man was struck in the mouth and rem
dered insensible before being forced
into the trunk
He was we'll dressed and his shoes
were polished. Other clothing found
in the trunk indicate that he wes
either an engineer or miner.
A small book, in which was an ac-
count by j. C. Leslie with M. Farrier
from March 1 to 10, was found In a
pocket.
The names Mitar Myoviech and
Mitchell Myovich were found in the

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Secretary
Taft has transmitted to Senators Per

General Mackenzie reports that while
San Pedro may require Notifications
in the not distant future, it is not ad-

HAz|NG PENALTY
NOT So SEVERE
HOUSE M0DIFIES PUNISHMENT
FOR NAVAL CADETS
Annapolis Men Must Report Deviation
From Rules-BrutaI Hazers May
Be smissed-Hepburn's
Severe Criticism
BY Associated Press.

BY ASSOCIATED PreSS.
WASHINGTON March 24.-Hazing
at the Annapolis naval academy was
dealt with by the house today in the
passage of a senate bill with a house
substitute The action was taken after
protracted debate which placed on
record the impressions of the special
committee which Investigated the sub
ject recently, and a severe criticism
of efforts to condone hazing by Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa. Several amend
ments were proposed to the measure,
but all were rejected save one making
| it the duty of cadet officers to report
infractions of the rules as we'll as other
academy authorities.
The bill repeals that portion of ex-
listing laws which make 1t compulsory
to dismiss midshipmen guilty of haz-
| ing in any degree, and substitutes
punishment according to the nature of
the offense.
Cruel and brutal hazing may be
punished by dismissal.
Previous to the consideration of the
hazing BILL 265 pension bills were
passed.
w. w. Kitchn of North Carolina,
who has made a minority report on the
| bill explained his views. The measure
| he contended, was too great modifi-
cation Of the present law in the di-
rection of leniency. 1t would, he said
greatly encourage hazing.
| Mr. Smith of Iowa made the obser-
walton that if political interference
with the naval and military academy
should cease the officers in charge
could absolutely abolish hazing.
Cadets in Rebellion
A speech by Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa
was a severe criticism of what he said
was a perversion of the real object OF
the training. These cadets were being
prepared at the expense of the nation
to command the ships and men of the
navy. They were, as matter OF
! fact, living in constant and open re-
bellion of a plain law of the land
with which they were more familiar
than with any other.
The result of such a course of train
ing, he said, was shown by the in
efficiency of naval officers. He called
attention to a list of twenty-five ships
which had met disaster by bad naviga'
| ton and added reference to the re-
cent mixup in New York harbor. Yet
he said. there was no punishment ever
inflicted on naval officer. They were
tried by their friends and former
classmates.
A defense of the cadets was made
by Mr. Paggett Of Tennessee, a mem
ber of the special hazing committee
who minimized the general charge as
due to the pranks of boys.
Mr. Hepburn secured the adoption of
an amendment requiring cadet Off
GERS as well as instructors and naval
officers, to report infractions of the
hazing regulations, after which the
bill was passed.
House committee on elections No. 3
adopted unanimously a resolution de-
claring that A. J. Huston was not

gressional district and is not entitled
