CARDINALS ADMONISHED
Uniting That They Should Attend
Diplomatic Dinners.

Rome, May 11.-As a sequel to the
presence OF four cardinals at the din,
ner given by Ambassador White in
honor of Archbishop Ireland April rs,
Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the sacred
college, has written a letter to each
of the four cardinals, asking them for
an explanation of their presence at a
function given by a diplomat accredit-
ed to the quirinal The letter char
acterizes the presence of cardinals at
such functions as uniting. Some Of
the offending cardinals have replied
to the letter, but at least one has not
done so. One of the four cardinals
present at the Ireland dinner, and
who since the issuance of the letter
above alluded to has been received
by the pope, states that the pope said
they were right in accepting Mr..
Whites invitation to the dinner, but
that the note had to be sent out to
prevent possible future attractions of
an established policy of the vatican.

OIL TRUSTS METHODS EXPOSED
IN HEARING.
DISHONESTY IN LEASES
Land Secured by Methods of Thieves,
Employees of Railroads and indie
pendent Companies Corrupted
Rival Concerns Killed Off by Re-
bates and Wrongful Competition.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 11.-Corruption
of railroad employees and agents of IN
dependent oil companies, dishonest
methods of procuring land leases, CIV
ing of short measure and selling Of
three different kinds of oil out of the
same tank, and misrepresentation as
to the quality of oil sold, were charged
against the Standard Oil company at
yesterdays hearing before the inter
state commerce commission. Incl
dentally it was charged that the
Frisco road gives a rate of two cents
per 100 to the Standard Oil company
when it charges competitors of that
corporation ten times as much for tue
same haul. The inquiry was held I'M
der an order of congress, and the ses
sion was along the same lines as
that held some time ago in Kansas
City.
The principal witness yesterday was

against the company, and said the

of Fremont, Ohio; E. P. Ripley, prest
dent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe road, and M. Maxon, former agent
of the Standard Oil company in Hi
nois. The last witness gave test1
mOny which in many instances was
the same as that given by Without.
Wlhoit, in the course of his testi
mony, said the Standard Oil would
obtain information regarding ship
ments, and then rush oil on passenger
trains to the consignee, beating
freights, and then undersell the indie.
pendents. He said the Frisco road
gave the Standard Oil a rate of two
cents per 100 out to Springfield, MO-,
while Independents were charged 20
cents. Besides this he said the Frisco
held shipments of Independents as
long as eight days, allowing the Stand
ard to get to the point of destination

BRAKES LONG SHOT WINS.
GrappIe Takes the $4,000 Metropol-
itan Handicap.

New York, May 11.-Twenty-two
horses went to the post in the fifteenth
metropolitan handicap and after the
mile journey over the main course at
Belmont park, in one minute and 80
seconds, John A. brakes four-year-old
gelding, Grapple, to 1 in the betting,
flashed under the wire winner by
three-quarters of length. Second
was E. R. Hitchcock's four-year-old
Dandelione a head in front of James
McLaughlin's Oxford. ISRAELI, second
choice in the betting, was fourth, and
Roseben, the to 1 favorite, was fifth.
Roseben led into the stretch but died
away in the last furlong. The big
field managed to get away from the
barrier in a quite compact bunch and
only the horses which finished in the
first five places were prominent in the
running. The metropolitan was worth
nearly $4,000 this year, of which the
second horse received $4,000 and the
third $1,000.

ton to the denatured alcohol bill
He made a broad statement that il
the bill becomes a law it will ruin
the wood alcohol business. In view
of the opposition of the wood alcohol
manufacturers and testimony given,
that in England many persons have
succeeded in removing the denatural-
izing element so as to make the al
cohol disable as a beverage, members
of the committee are considering
means of avoiding both these results.
1t has been suggested that grain al
cohol manufacturers shall be required
to use one-eighth of one quart OF
wood alcohol as a denaturalizing ele-
ment, which would provide a market
for wood alcohol and render it pois-
on, with no possibility of removing
the poisonous element.

priation bill was practically completed

Minneapolis, May 11.-Attorneys to-
day will begin their summing up in
the case of the state against w f.
Bechtel, former PRESENT of the North
western National Life Insurance com
pany, who is charged with grand lar
ceny in having appropriated to his
own use $500 of the company'S
funds. Testimony given by BechteI
yesterday in his direct examination
and information elected from the wit
ness on cross examination was sensa-
tionaI in the extreme. The charge,
Bechtel said, that former insurance
commissioner of Minnesota had ac-
copied $4,000 for favorable report
on the proposed consolidation Of the
Northwestern Mutual and the Nation
al Life association had been consid-
cred by the grand jury which brought
the indictment against Bechtel, and in
its report the grand jury severely
condemned the alleged conduct Of the
insurance commission, but said he
was exempt from prosecution because
Of the statute of limitations.
Amounts paid through Bechtel for
reimbursement of DR.. ]. F. Force,
former president of the National Life
association, according to testimony
aggregated $113,5OO of which no rec
ord is found in the Northwestern
Nationals books. y
Other sensational statements made
by Bechtel related to personal profits
made by transactions supposedly car
ried on for the benefit of the COM
pany. The company contracted to re-
insure an Iowa company, but insteadi
of doing so, Bechtel turned the con-
tract over to California company at
a profit of $4,000.
The Minneapolis auditorium build
ing, which the Northwestern National
Life erected, also was gone into and
it was shown that Bechtel owned the
site selected for the building, and
that it was sold to the company at a
profit to Bechtel of $4,000.
Bechtel also testified that he had
paid 100000 to the superintendent of
agencies, Campbell for the surrender
of his contract.

enting Speech From the Throne
Merely a Welcome
Of the MomentOus Change, Witte,
in Pathetic Loneliness

! the front rank of members Of the
representative chamber while En-,
peror Nicholas put his final seal upon
the Russian parliament and begged
the representatives of the people to
cooperate with him in working for the
welfare of the country.
The lower house of parliament ad-
journed over until today, in order
not to interfere with the opening ex-
ercises of the council of the empire
and also to permit a committee OF
constitutional democrats to consider
the reply to the speech from the
throne.
Dispatches received from all
parts of Russia indicate that the open
ing of parliament was celebrated
everywhere.
Witte Entirely Alone.
A pathetic figure in the scene at the
palace yesterday was that of Count
White, of whom the correspondent OF
the Associated Press caught a glimpse
before tie ceremony, pacing the cor
tered the throne hall clad in the colo
and block uniform of a secretary OF
state, one of the highest dignitaries oi
the court, which still remains to him
and with the ribbon of the Alexander
Nevsky order on his breast. He took
his place in the ranks of the old
bureaucracy. Former Interior Minis
ter Durnovo was there too, chatting
animatedly and earnestly with his
companions, but White seemed to
find a cold welcome from everyone.
Finally he wandered away and stood
apart until the imperial pageant APP
preached.
Great Demonstration.
After the adjournment of parlia-
ment there was a great celebration in
front of the rooms of the Constitu-
tional club, to which the leaders had
retired for consultation. Thousands
of people packed the adjoining streets
and shouted and cheered until the
leaders appeared on the balcony and
spoke. Their words we're received
with frantic applause.
In the crowd, stump-speakers, in
Guiding socialist deputies, from bar
rels and carttails delivered fervid ora
tions. Though open air gatherings
are illegal, the police did not inter
fere.
At the conference of constitutional
democratic leaders last evening it was
decided that. Professor Mouromtseff,
when he is received in audience by
Emperor Nicholas today to receive
imperial confirmation of his election
to the presidency of the lower house,
should breach the subject of immedi-
ate amnesty to political offenders.
Celebrations in honor of the open
ing of parliament were held yesterday
in every city of the empire. The only
were at Simbirsk and
several cities of Poland, where there
were collisions between the police
and boycotting factions and revolu-
tionary students.

Alden BeSSe
Is Warship
FORMER SUGAR PACKET IS NOW
A JAPANESE TRAINING SHIP
. SHE IS ON PUGET SOUND.

SEATTLE, Sept 12.-The bark Alden
Besse, formerly an American, but now
a japanese vessel, is on the Sound
carrying crew of twenty Japanese
cadets, who are later to enter the Mi
kados navy as officers. These young
men are to serve one year on the
windjammer, when they will be trans
ferred to steamer to spend two years
studying navigation and engineering.
After this they will finish their educa-
ton in one of the Japanese naval coll
leges and will be transferred to war
ships as lieutenants.
The scheme is highly commended by
shipping men who have heard of it.,
and they state that it shows that the
Japanese intend to make their Junior
officers efficient in all that pertains to
naval affairs. The training in the
sailing vessel and later in the steamer
makes the cadets familiar with the
nautical life. The lack of such thor
ough training is one point on which
the American and British officers are
frequently severely criticised.
The Alden Besse was built in Bath,
me-, IN 1911. tOr many years sHS was
used in the China tea trade. Less than
two years ago she was almost destroy
ed on the coast of Japan. Her cargo
of guano took fire and she was beached
in a sinking condition. The hull was
purchased and turned into a new sys-
tenn training ship. The vessel is now
in Vancouver, where she is loading
lumber for Yokohama. She may come
to Seattle before leaving for home, in
order to give the cadets a chance to
see this city She sailed from Otaru,
