Germans Talk Retaliation.

Berlin, June 27-The Cologne Ga zette Tuesday printed number of complaints on the subject of the treat ment German goods have been subject ed to by the United States since March 1, when Germany agreed to ex- tend the most favored nation clause of her tariff to Ameriacn goods in re- turn for alleviations in the American customs administration. The paper says the United States guaranteed Germany milder treatment in the ap- plication of ad valorem duties and that instead of this the United States is valuing German goods higher than ever. This has caused check in the export of certain kinds of goods. The Gazette therefore demands that the ierman government adopt retaliatory measures and says it must immediately instruct the German embassy at Wash ngton to insist upon justice being lone

IHE GRAIN BUYING TRUST
Senate Orders Interstate Commerce Commission to Make an
 Investigation.
COLLISION WITH RAILROADS CHARGED
Senator LaFoliette Stated That Testimony
 Indicated Joint Ownership Between
 Railroads and Elevator Companies to Dctriment of Farmers-G Gave Names of Corporations and Individuals Accused.

Washington, June 26.. An investi- commission of the grain buying and elevator trust was ordered by the sen ate Monday. The resolution directing the inquiry was offered by Senator La Toilette and came as a direct result of revcalations made by. wheat growers of the northwestern states and litiga- tion between states over grain inspee- ton.
 The original resolution was concur rent, but owing to the lateness of the session MT. La Fallotte changed to 3 senate resolution so asTfo assure ac- tion. The resolution reads
 Resolved, That the Interstate com merce commission be directed to make a thorough investigation of the ele- vator, grain buying anu forwarding business of this country3to determine to what extent special favors have been granted, the influence which the alleged monopolizing of this branch of business has had upon the market, the injury it has worked. to the grain pTOuuceTS, the tSttlt ti WHltH tut railroads, their officers, directors, stockholders and employees own or control the grain buying and grain for warding companies and the manner in which these. railroads, their officers, directors. stockholders and employees secured their holdings in these grain buying, storing and forwarding com panies and to report the same to con gress at It's next session"
 Tn support of his bill Senator La Toilette said that testimony taken by the commission indicates a1 joint own- ership between the railroads and the elevator companies, to the detriment of the farmers, who are entitled to a free and open market. e3then gave the names of individuals afrl corpora- tions wbich had secured such inside privileges as to give them monopolies along various western railroad lines
 The senator declared In conclusion that practically all the gram shipped into Chicago over any one. line goes to one dealer, and expressed the opin- ion that these wholesale dealers are closely allied among themselves. thus constituting a virtual monopoly of the entire grain business of the country.

10 PROSECUTE RAILROADS.
Attorney General Moody Instructed
 to Go After Rebaters.
Presidents Orders to Department of Jus uce Not Confined to Standard Oil
 Company.

Washington, June 26-President Rooseveit's latest order for an octopus hunt by the department of justice is not confined to the Standard Oil com pany. Attorney General Moody is in structed also to go after the railroads, and wherever he can obtain proof of the railroads granting rebates to the Standard Oil or to any other concern, he will bring suit Some time ago the various district attorneys were di- rected to scout for. evidence along these lines. Not only will prosecu- tions be made under the Elliins act which would merely assess a fine on the offenders. but also under the anti conspiracy statutes, which carry a jail sentence.
 President Roosevelt is particularly pleased that he has the support of the entire cabinet It will involve great deal of hard work on the part of the officials of the department of justice and the expenditure of a large amount of money. Attorney General Moody, who some time ago announced his determination to retire to private life this summer, will remain at the helm, on the earnest solicitation of the pres ident. who believes that the success that has attended his recent efforts in the courts against other trusts augurs ! satisfactory outcome in the present campaign.

Washington, June 26.-After briet session devoted to the minor amend ments, the conference on the agricul- tural appropriation bill adjourned un- til ten o'clock Tuesday when they VIII again meet. Two sessions will be held daily until an agreement is reached. It is expected that the meat inspection amendment will be reached late Tues day The general impression IS that the senate conferees will consent to the house provision that the govern ment shall pay for the inspection or meat but it is likely the conference will insist on the date of inspection being placed on all cans of meat. Pres ide1t Roosevelt, it is said, has stated that he will not be satisfied with the bill rnless this provision of the senate bill be retained.

U. s. MARSHAL
 JAS. BUSH KILLED
Shot While Attempting to Arrest Martin Miller at His Home at Ca np Wilder Miller Also Shot By Bush
 and Reported Dying.

Deputy United Stat Mar shal James Bush of this city was shot and killed last night about 9 o'clock by Martin Miller, at his home out at Camp Wilder, nine miles east of Hatfield, and Miller was mortally wounded by Bush and is not expected to recover. The first news of the killing received in Mena vas telephone message to Sheriff Joplin from Hatfield last night, informing him that Mir. Bush had been shot and kill d by Martin Miller and that Bush had shot and seriously wounded Miller. Aside from this statement TO particulars of the killing was given.
 This morning Sheriff Joplin accompanied by pr. A. J. Pool. county coroner, left on the local for Hatfield, from which place they drove out to the scene of the tragedy.
 This afternoon a telephone message from Hatfield to the Star stated that no particulars of the killing had been received at that place further tban the fact that Bush was shot and killed by Miller while attempting to place him under arrest on charge of having violated the government homestead law by cutting and removing timber. The only witnesses 10 the killing were two parties by the name of Miller and Givens who joined MT. Bush late yesterday afternoon while on his way from Hatfield to Camp Wilder.
 1 Mir. Bush was appointed Dep uty United States Marshal about two years ago and prior to his appointment held a position as guard at the Federal j,il in Fort Smith under Marshal Stihl. He 
 had the nan of being a fearless off cer. ever ready to perform his duty and his untimely death and the manner ia which he was killed is deeply regretted by all 1 w abiding citizens.
 Since the indictment by the r, deral Grand Jury of so many
 lk county citizens for violating
 homestead and timber law 1t
 stated that Mir. Bush received
 everal letters threatening him with bodily harm if he did not .et up in his work. He was warned by several of his friends
 hat his life was in danger, but 1e raid little heed to their advice nd contirued to perform bis iuty in an unconcerued manner. l NJ riin Miller, the man who killed Nr. Bush has been a citl zen of Folk county for about four years, and for the past two years has be,n hving at Camp Wilder here Ie was employed as watch man of he property at that place.
 Several weeks ago Miller was arrested charged with attempting 10 poise the food of a young man by the name of Stone and at nis exam mining tr al was bound over to the grand jury in the sum | f $500

Protection Of Trees at the Disposal Of Tho Commissioner
Of Public Works Instead Of the Trel Warden

empt from the provisions OF this section
A representative OF the News Democrat
made inquiry at the office OF the city So
licitor regarding the source OF authority
for the expenditure OF money for the ex-
termination OF insects on the trees other
than that conferred I'm the act OF the leg
islature. OF which the above section Is
part. but the only information received
was 10 the effect that the trees were con-
sidered city property and. OF course. the
city had right 10 protect city property.
Without doubt Commissioner Barclay
will see that the money is properly ex-
pended. and IL is quite possible that the
man whom he has engaged 70 do the work
may understand his business, but II is
question as to whether the city has any
right 10 spend money In this way. The
law states that money appropriated for
the determination OF insects is TO be ex-
pended under the direction Of the tree
warden, and It's reading is so plain that
no one can doubt what was intended,
OF course II would be sad thing II a
Democrat was permitted 10 spend $500 OF
the money appropriated by the city coun-
ell OF Pawtucket Probably not such a
thing as that has happened In this oty
for a number OF years, but IL certainly
seems as though the machine had fallen
10 pretty low depths when IT carries its
propensities 10 the point OF refusing TO
give 10 the properly appointed Officers
the right TO do the work which is vested
In them by the General Assembly
The Independent organ OF the Republ-
can machine made great haste on the
morning after passing OF this apppropria-
ton 10 call attention TO the alacrity with
which the acting mayor had signed this
resolution, not waiting till the 10 days al
lowed by law had expired OF course he
signed II quick. lie was probably party
10 the scheme TO give 10 some party work
er chance 10 earn the money. and he
may have been afraid that II he waited
"a hours. something would happen. 1t Is
hardly likely that Acting Mayor Wood is
going TO wait very long lin giving his offl-
cial sanction 10 any resolution which will
give the sum OF 5000 for the use OF any
political worker.
IL Is barely possible that the legality
OF this appropriation may be questioned
and II may be good thing for the city
auditor 10 examine pretty carefully into
this question before he gives his sanction
TO any bills which may be contracted un-
der IT,
