MAKES BAD BREAK.
Man Charged His Wife of Theft and
 Gets q Fiue of S49S. 80.

Little Rock, May S.-Charged with being in the city for lllega purposes and for disturbing tn peace P. C. Crossland, formerly of West, Tex, was this morning fined total of $49S.S0 m the police court including the costs.
 A fine of $500 and four months in iail was placed against him on the last charge and fine of S7o and costs on the first charge. He was committed to jail and will probably have to work out the fine which will keep him at the rock crusher for nearly two years. The story developed at the trial created the indignation of the court and officers present. Crossland, who has been living with his wife at S20 West Mark ham street in this city for the last three weeks, last night went to the clerk of the Metropolitan hotel and reported that a young woman, who he said was known as Edna Pitts. alias Cunningham, had stolen a number of articles from the hotel and asked that she be arrested. The matter was at once reported to the officers and Chief of Detectives Clifton and Sergeant of Police Cogsweil went to the address given and confronted the woman with the charge.
 She declared the charge untrue and asserted that she was the wife of Crossland and that he h. ad | forced her 10 make living for him. She gave her age as eight cen years and exhibited the mar riage certificate to the officers. Crossland was then confronted with the counter charge, which he denied, but later admitted to the officers that he had married the young woman.
 At the trial this morning sev- eral witnesses from the Markham street residence were brought upon the stand and their testi- mony tended to corroborate the testimony of the Crossland wom- an, who they said, had been beaten by the man. Judge F. M. Fulk assisted the city in the pros- ecution of Crossland, who received the heaviest fine probably ever imposed in the Little Rock police court. The young woman was released.

It is a great relief to the busi

It is a great relief to the busi- ness interests of the country to know that the great coal miners strike, as threatened, has been averted. There appears to be nothing in the way now likely to disturb business relations except possibly on occasional financial furry in Wall Street, and these no longer hare much influence on the legitimate business interests of the country.

There is one very important politi- cal idea that Governor Jeff Davis and the Star are in hearty accord upon, and that is that Colonel w. J. Bryan is the man for the next standard bearer for the Democratic party, and that Arkansas is solid for him. We are from Missouri and like Governor Folk, but he is young and can wait.

STANDARD O|L METHODS
E. M. Wi1hoit, of Topeka, Gives Damaging Evidence at the
 Chicago Hearing.
BRIBERY AND SHORT MEASURE COMMON
While in Employ of Monopoly Gave Money to Railroad Clerks and Employes of In- dependent Concerns for Information Sell 2OS Gallons out of WaE on Holding 200 Gallons.

Chicago, May 1.-The inquiry by the government through the inter- state commerce commission into the relations between the Standard Oil company and the railroads of the country commenced here Thursday. Two of the points upon which it is said the investigation will endeavor to throw light are the matter of the pipe lines of the Standard Oil com pany which are laid along the rail- road rights of way and the purchase of Galena oil by the railroads for headlight and signal purposes.
 The first witness was E. M. Will holt, of Topeka. Kan, now an inde- pendent oil operator but ten years ago an agent of the Standard Oil con- rany. He testified that while in the employ of the Standard Oil company he had, in following out the instruc- tions of his superior officers, bribed clerks in the offices of railroads and employees of independent oil concerns in order to obtain information of lllt utldllS Oi tiC DuotnCSS uOHC Dy the rivals of the Standard Oil com pany. He declared that agents of the Standard Oil company are held per sonally responsible for all oil sold in their territory by independent con- panies and that the drivers of tank wagons are expected to keep up their stock by selling 295 to POS gallons from a wagon load of 200 gallons. He said that the actual tests of the products of the Standard Oil com pany to determine the quality are carefully guarded and that when 1t was found necessary to cut the price to meet the figure of a competitor a cheaper quality of oil was substituted and guaranteed to be of a higher grade than it really was
 MT. Wilhoit said that frequently three grades of oil were sold from the same tank by agents of the Stand ard Oil company
 Several letters were read by the witness in which he was instructed to watch shipments in his territory and report the name of every cus- toner of the independent concerns and the amount and quality of oil received by him. He said that he had bribed clerks in the offices of the Rock Is- land Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific to give him lists of shipments to the customers of independent companies.
 He told also of bribing teamsters in order to obtain information
 Cylinder oil is the most profitable sold" said the witness, ''and the Standard Oil company dislikes to have any independent sell any of this grade. Our instructions were if We found a competitor selling this oil in our ter ritory to set the price so as to get the orders and then substitute an in- ferior grade of oil and guaranty 1t 10 be of superior quality"
 Did you ever give short measure to your customers?" asked Commis- sioner Prouty.
 We did not call it that" replied the witness

GROSS FAVORITISM.

In the formation of trusts it is claimed that the tariff aids some and railway rebates others, all of which is true, and there are many who now denounce the gross favorit- ism shown thereby.
 There are few, however, who ap- pear to realize that another system of gross favoritism to build and foster trusts is the use of the peo- ple's money by certain parties free of cost or interest.
 If rebates on freight give those receiving them an advantage over their competitors is it not clear that if one individual, company or cor poration is furnished with money free of cost while their competitors must pay interest on what they use. the first named have great advant- age?
 OuI SoNcliiiSit by idW cStdD- fishes certain tariffs and railroads certain rebates, all of which are denounced as gross favoritism to those who take advantage, but when the government loans hundreds of millions of the peoples money to certain National banks free of all cost for it's use. but few appear to think that any fayoritism is shown or that any trusts are fostered under such a system. though it has been continuously in existence for over forty years.
 If 1t could be traced out no doubt

ARKANSAS FOR BRYAN, SAYS DAVIS
Governor Gives Out Interview at Salt
 Lake City.

Lake City.
 In an interview given out at Salt Lake City Tuesday, while on his way from Colorado Springs tu Los Angeles, Governor Jeff Davis declared that Arkansas IS solidly for w. J. Bryan for Presi- dent. Incidentally, he told ot hrs political career and of his race against Senator James Ii. Berry in the recent primaries.
 II am for William J. Bryan for president first, last and all the time, and, decidedly against any suggestion of Folk Governor Davis is quoted as saying. Moreover Arkansas is as solid as a brick for Bryan. He has more friends and supporters than ever before.'
 The Salt Lake Herald in its issue of May 1, quotes Governor Davis as favoring the nomination of Bryan. The article, in part.is as follows:
 "Governor Jefferson Davis Of Arkansas, who is spending a few days i'll Salt Lake, is one of the striking figures in national poll. tics. He is fresh from great victory in his state, where he was nominated in the Democratic primaries for the United States Senate, after fight which at- tracted the attention of the en- tire country. He is of decidedly striking appearance. Tall and of massive build, with a rugged face, the first and indeed the last, impression he gives 1t one of strength. Nobody could look at the Governor and mistake him for an Fastener. Heis typically the Westerner in appearance, with but suggestion of the South. Though his face is rath- CT stern ordinarily, he greets his friends with a genuinely genial smile and a hearty handshake. The impression which opposing political papers have sent broad cast of him as an uucouth swash- buckler is decidedly erroneous. It is matter requiring no expert ip physiognomy to decide from his countenance that he is a man who makes friends aud keeps them and is an undesirable enemy.
 In the West for His Health.
 Fl am out here for rest" he said yesterday. II do not know when or where 1 shall go from here. 1 have just passed through strenuous campaign and want to get away from politics for while. 1 have received many conrtesies and much considera- tion during my Western trip thus far, and have been invited to speak in many places, particular ly on the railroad rate legislation now pending in Congress. These invitations have been compelled to decline, for, as stated, am in the West with my wife merely for a good rest. Moreover I do not care to talk on pending legisla- tion at present. l intend to be back in Arkansas by May Is, and until then I will merely wander"
