BIG LINES WATCH
INVESTIGATION
Railroads all Attend
the Probing of
Standard.
MUCH CORRUPTION EVIDENT
Different Grades of Oil Sold
from Same Tank.-.Re.
bates to Trust.

Chicago, May 11.-Nearly every rail
road running south, north and west
from Chicago was represented today
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission when the investigation into
the relations Of the Standard Oil Com
pany with the railroads was resumed
The testimony thus far has
brought out many facts of interest.
Corruption extending over a period of
many years is charged against the oil
companies, their dishonest methods of
securing land leases, short measures,
and even actual dishonesty in the
selling of their wares.
Three different kinds of oil, it is
stated all selling at different prices
and ranking as different grades of the
product are sold from the same tank,
the only difference, discernible to the
eye, being in the price. 1t is also
charged that the railroads give the
Standard a rate of two cents a hun
dred, when they charge independent
companies ten times that amount for
the same haul. This charge is made
directly against the Frisco system, al.
though those interested in the inves-
tigation say the roads are all tarred
with the same brush and the rebate
system prevails among all. Il. M. Will
hoot of Springfield, Missouri, who was
for ten years the Standard Oil Com
pany's agent at Topeka, Kansas, has
been the principle witness so far. He,
1T was who testified that the different
oils We're all sold from the same tank,
as well as stating that the Frisco
system, at least was partial to the big
trust. President q. P. Ripley of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
was also a witness.

WINS SUIT AGAINST
BIG PAPER TRUST
Government Forces
Combination to
Dissolve.
PRICES GREATLY REDUCED
Many Mills Throughout the
Country Will at Once Re-
sumo Operation.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 1.-The Uni
ted States government today secured
an unconditional surrender in the Uni
ted States circuit court before Ndge
Sanborn, of the paper trust against
which the attorney general began q
suit December 27, 1904, to dissolve the
combination between the general pa
per company and twenty-three othe;
defendants on the ground that an
agreement had been entered into by
the defendants in the restraint of inter
state commerce. Attorney Kellogg
for the government and Attorney Flan
ders for the defendants, appeared be
fore Judge Sanborn and Kellogg to
day and moved that mandate from
the United States supreme court, al
firming the order that witnesses must
testify, be filed.
Judge Sanborn Immediately ordered
the mandate filed. The witnesses ap
peared and offered their testimony and
the defendants then withdrew theil
answers Judge Sanborn Immediately
ordered that a decree be entered
against them.
This is a complete victory for the
government. The price of paper al
Company will now be compelled to &c
out of business. The price of paper al
the time the suit began was from $225
to $2.35 per hundredweight. The
bringing of the suit has had the effect
of reducing the price to about $1.S5
The decision will be important news
to newspaper publishers throughout
the country. Competition will now be
renewed by all the paper mills in the
country.

CHILDREN WILL
BUILD SCHOOL
Contributions to Replace institutions
Destroyed BY Fire-chiIdren's
Memorial.

A movement has been started by
the public schools OF Boston for the
school children Of all ages in the en-
tire country to create a fund for the
building of memorial school in San
Francisco to be known as the "Chil
dren's Memorial" the money fol
building and equipping the school tc
be secured entirely through voluntary
contributions on the part of the school
children. Professor Hiram Hadley, su
perintendent of public instruction, has
received a letter from the committee
of Boston Educators having charge Of
the movement, asking that the pupils
of the schools Of New Mexico be per
mitted to contribute to the cause. O.
the SO public school buildings in Sar
Francisco, 40 we're entirely destroyed
either by earthquake or fire, and it is
thought this will be an opportunity fol
the young people Of the land to helI
a good and worthy cause. The contri
buttons that will be accepted by the
committee have been limited to five
cents from the pupils of the elemen
tary schools and ten cents each from
pupils of the high schools, no other
money being taken. Pupils of the pub
lie schools in Boston have ALREADY
turned over $4,000 to the committee
and several schools are yet to be heard
from. If the children of the entire
country respond as literally, sufficient
money will be acquired to establish
one of the handsomest schools in the
country. The money is to be collected
by the teachers, who will forward il
to the superintendent of instruction
and it will at once be sent to the com
mittee at Boston.

WATER RISING
IN RIO GRANDE
Snow in Mountains Melting, and Dam
age From Floods Anticipated
at Espanola.

A dispatch was received this morn
ing by the New Mexican containing
the information that the water of the
Rio Grande at Espanola registers six
feet and six inches above the normal
water line. Even more alarming Is
the manner in which the river is wild
ening, the water in some places hav.
ing spread over an area of 700 feet In
width, where ordinarily it is but one
hundred. The weather is clouding and
threatening, causing considerable ap-
prehension on the part of the people
living in the valley, who are in con
stant fear of spring freshets.
For some time the nights have been
cool enough, SO that little snow has
melted in the mountains, and for this
reason the river has not been fed
Sufficiently to cause any material dam
age. Last night, however, was warm
and the water in the river rose six
inches, which in it's present condition,
means great DEAL The damage so
far has been confined to the washing
away of telephone and telegraph poles,
but if the weather continues warm so
that the snow will melt rapidly in.
stead of gradually, much damage to
crops and property is anticipated.
At Chamita the river is very high
and telegraph poles along Its banks
have been washed out and are floating
down the river AT Cumbres Pass
there is still much snow and 1T Is
feared that when this melts and comes
down the river much harm will be
done.
