TRUST FIGHT
BEGINS

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Prior to pre-
senting evidence in the Standard
Oil and railroad rebate cases to the
grand jury today. the governments
attorneys conducting the prosecu-
ton held long conference. The
jury will be sworn this afternoon
by Judge Bothea.
The Cleveland case will be pre-
sented to the grand jury in it's en-
tirety. 1t is said this evidence re-
lates to storage charges never col
lected, the omission of which col
lection gave the Standard Oil an
unfair advantage over its competi-
tor.
The star witness will probably
be II. c. Barlow, executive direc-
tor Of the Chicago Commercial as
ISOLATION and former railroad Of
fetal said to have once been IN
Standard Oil confidence, but now
an active opponent of both the oil
trust and the railroads.

In addition to Instances cited IN
The Press some time ago comes
a report from Pullman of COM
plants by laborers hired in Spo-
kane by employment agencies and
sent here for work which was not
awaiting them. These laborers pay
81 for their excited jobs and once
away from Spokane don't consider
it worth while to come back for
the money when the Job is not
there.
1t is claimed this sort Of graft is
yielding rich harvest for the en-
ployment agents. Chief Of Police
Waller is appealed to every day
by alleged victims of the game. All
employment agents are under bond
to do business properly, and if
some of the men bilked would re-
turn and bring the matter into the
courts something might be adj
ministered to the agents in the way
of punishment.
The Inland Empire Employment
agency is the one complained of in
the Pullman case.

"The effect of the city council
making it's IL mill levy on city
property estimated at $30,O00,OO0
instead of $36,0O0,0OO will simply
be to raise more money than last
year." said Assessor Stewart this
morning. IF they desire to raise
so much money there is little to
be said"
Mr.. Stewart then expressed his
idea in raising certain producing
property, while not advancing the
home property. In effect his posi-
ton Is this:
Each year for the four I have
been in office there has been a
natural increase in valuation in
this county and city Of from 10 to
IL per cent; and it is reasonable
to infer that the increase in popula-
ton and in expense has been about
the same. In those four years the
total valuation has advanced from
$26,000,000 to $52,000000. So that
half of the present valuation is the
result of natural increase plus

the assessors valuation. Forty

IS CHARGE

Startling disclosures of the de-
pravity of Ed Struhm, ex-soldier,
who was recently discharged from
the army at Missoula, Mont, were
made in Justice Hinkle's court this
morning when his case was heard
on the charge Of stealing $145 from
Minnie Shelton, fat colored
wench of perhaps 40 years of age.
Struhm is comparatively young
man, but admitted having been liv-

past five months, following her to
this city from Missoula. The Shell.
ton woman said that during that
time she had supported Struhm
and during the 10 days ne has been

according to Miles, that he was liv.
Ing with the woman.
Justice Hinkle bound Struhm
over to the superior court and set
the amount Of the bond at $500. He
was remanded to Jail on his in
Dbility to furnish this. The Shelton
woman put up 500 to guarantee
her appearance to prosecute the
man.

A tragedy that would have re-
suited in the death OF a helpless
woman under the wheels OF the
westbound Northern Pacific over
land was averted last night only
by the presence of mind of George
Berry at the Howard street cross
ing. The possibility of such a
timing occurring at that point is
directly due to the fact that the
crossing is left open and unguarded
at train time.
Mrs. Carrie Potter, an elderly
woman, who resides in the Albion
block, was the person who came
near paying her life as penalty
for this oversight. She became con-
fused on the track when the over
hand came along and in trying to
get away in her fright ruptured a
blood vessel and fell helpless. APP
parently the engineer did not see
her, as no attempt to stop the train
seems to have been made.
The Wig engine was almost on

with her hands and waited for the
worst. One spectator turned away
to avoid the awful scene, bet
Berry ran over on the track and
dragged the woman out Of the way
just in the nick of time. He tore
the sleeve out of her shirtwaist
in the effort.
Mrs. Potter was taken to her
home suffering from the broken
blood vessel and the shock incurr-
ed by her danger.
As result of the incident some
action will doubtless be taken by
the city to remedy past careless
ness in leaving the crossing un-
guarded at night. Secretary ONO
of the board of public works favors
having all railroad crossings pa
trolled at night as well as day and
will endeavor, he states, to have
the council make such provision by
ordinance. In his opinion the coun-
