ton to subcommittee consisting Of

board of health met seven OF twelve
members of the water committee and
several citizens at the rooms OF the

that the river water never would be TT

from IIungerford brook showed up
badly.
The only pure water found was from
Fairfield pond This supply has been
tested at intervals for. two years and
has been found pure for drinking pur

was favored 10y open rates in all com
petitlye fields While the secret re-
bates have been largely done away
with the president promises that the
department of justice will institute
prosecutions in certain cases
President Roosevelt declares in effect
that the great corporations known as
trusts have the railroads at their mer-
cy and that the time has come for the
government to protect the interests of
the stockholders OF the transportation
lines He suggests that expert exam
iners employed by the Interstate com
merce commission be given the power
to examine -as thoroughly into the af
fairs of railroads as bank examiners
probe into the affairs of banks.
"The report shows" the president de
clares, that the Standard Oil company
has benefited enormously up almost to
the present moment by secret rates,
many of these secret rates being clear
ly unlawful This benefit amounts to
at least $4,000 year. This $4,000
represents the profit that the Standard
Oil company obtains at the expense Of
the railroads, but of course the ulti-
mate result Is that 1t obtains a much
larger profit at the expense of the pub
lie A very striking result of the In
yestiggtiOn has been that shortly after
the discovery of these secret rates by
the commissioner of corporations the
, major portion of them were promptly
corrected by the railroads, so that most
of them have now been done away
with.
; "This immediate correction, partial or
2 complete, of the evil Of the secret rates
, is, Of course, on the one hand IN ac-
, acknowledgement that they were wrong
and yet were persevered In until eX
posed and on the other hand a proof OF
the efficiency of the work that has beer
done by the bureau of corporations
The department Of justice will take VI

, been greatly strengthened in securing
an effective remedy by the recent de

great corporation which in the imme-
diate past has benefited and IS at this
moment benetitlng in wholly improper
fashion by an elaborate series of rate
determinations, which permit ii TO
profit both at the expense of It's rivals
and of the general public. The attor-
ney general reports to me that the in
vestigation now going on as to the
shipments by the sugar trust over the
trunk lines running out OF New York
city tend to show that the sugar trust
rarely If ever pays the lawful rate for
transportation and is thus improperly
and probably unlawfully favored at the
expense of its competitors and Of the
general public
Commissioner Garheld's investiga
ton shows that of the 26,000000
barrels of oil annually refined in the
United States the Standard Oil com
pany directly and indirectly controls
about 23,000,000 and approximately
the same proportion of the other fin
lshed products of petroleum, that the
control of the Standard OIL company
over the entire oil industry is so great
as to require a special study of It's re
latons TO transportation companies
and that tariffs may be made and
rates may he combined in such manner
as to make it practically impossible
for the ordinary shipper to find them.
As long ms the state rates are not re

ages aud costs
The Clement case went GO Che jury
yesterday afternoon and at 4 O'Clock

They were told by Judge Wheeler that
it was not necessary for the defendant
to have mentioned the name OF tho
plaintiff ia his speeches to make proof
Of the allegations. The m4tterwas un
der consideration 10y the jury during
the evening but no decision was reach
ed
The opening argument for the plain
tin was begun Thursday afternoon 10y
Attorney NJ l. Powell who finished yes
terdat morning. lie referred at some
length to the dispositions which had
been read to the jury with reference 10
Wilson's character Tie spoke of the
standing OF the men who deposed in
favor OF Wilson and then referred 20
those against him, saying that some OF
them we're made by men who had been
prosecuted as the result OF wilson
work
The opening argument fer the defence
was made by Alexander Dunnett. tie
said that the basis of a slander suit
was envy and remarked that the idea
that M Clement was eavious of vii
son was ridiculous lie said that if
he word murder was used 10y MIR Glen
ept ii was used in the commercial sense
and not 10 the legal sense.
Attorney Stickuey closed for the de
tense He said business proposition
Sas before the jury aud that it was for
them to decide whether Mr. Clements
remarks injured Wilson and IL so how
much he was entitled.
A brief closing argument for the
plaintifr was made by Attorney Pow
ell.
When court convened 10 The after
noon Judge Wheeler charged the jury
briefly. la substance he said:
sin this action the defendant used
slanderous words 10y saying An armed
spotter was brought into the state and
shot an innocent man to death, mean
ing that the plainti1 was a murderer
aud had committed murder In It's legal
sense The plainti1 says the defendant
also meant him when he said the muI

murder instead OF manslaughter
"If the defendant spoke those words,
meaning the plaintiff, whether he men
toned his name or not, meant To cal
him murderer and the transaction q
murder in It's legal sense then the yer

the verdict should be for the deien
