TO JAIL FOR CONTEMPT

L~eavcnworth. kas.. June Judge
Hook, of the United States circuit court
sentenced H. II. Tucker. jr.. the in
d1ctcd secretary of the Uncle sam on
company. to serve three months in the
~l.eavenworth county Jail for contempt
of court. the contempt being a sensa-
tional affidavit filed by Tucker alleging
y conspiracy between Federal Judges
Pollock. Smith Mcpherson and Phillips
and the Standard Oil company to drive
the Uncle Sam company out of bust
ness. Judge Hook delivered a terrific
arrangement of Albert l.. Wilson. Of
Kansas City. who prepared the afr
davit. He said the only purpose of fill
ing the affidavit was to create a SEN
sation in the papers n influence pub
lie sentiment. Judge Hook declared
there was 40 precedent for such an Aft
davit. and the clerk of the court was
criticised for placing it on file. 1t was
stricken from the files by order of
Judge Hook.
Tucker has commenced his sentence.
The bankruptcy proceedings were
continued until a judge can be found
who can sit i'm the case. Judge Hook
will not preside.
The affidavit alleged that Judges
Pollock, Phillips and Smith McPher-
son went on Il fishing trip to Tampico,
Mexico, January %, 1906. in the private
ear of Gardiner Lathrop. cad of the
legal department of the Santa Fe, and
strongly intiinated that during the
trip Il conspiracy was entered into be-
tween the judges and the Standard Oil
company. the claim being made that
the Standard and the Santa Fee rail-
road were controlled by the same per-
sons. The affidavit further alleged that
Pollock made a statement against
Tucker and the Uncle Sam company
out of court.
Tucker was on the stand two hours
and was subjected to a gruelling en-
animation by \. II. Loomis. general at
torney of the Union Pacific, named by
The court To conduct the examination.
Tucker attempted to c~orroborate the
charges in the affidavit. but became
badly mixed and admitted the affidavit
Was prepared on hearsay.

ID to send to the u queen of Spain
the golden rose, a token of the papal
regard for any of the great ladies of

known that the pontificial jeweler. Tan
FAM, OF Rome. has been for some time
at WORK on the beautiful emblem. which
will consist of a bunch of roses wrought
out of solid gold placed In a golden
vase.
One of the papal noble guards will be
appointed by the pope to come here
and present the beautiful emblem to
the Spanish queen. who. because OF her
conversion to the Church of Rome and
her faithfulness to the duties she has
undertaken when leaving the church of
her ancestors. has rendered a signal
| service to the church.
Already preparations are being made
here to receive the papal envoy. and
it is said that the festivities will sur
pass in magnificence those of the baby's

king and queen. accompanied by AL
foncito and his nurse, will soon visit
the queens mother. the princess of

Interstate Commission Will
Make Some Announce
ment in October.
WILL GIVE FORMAL NOTICE.
BODY THINKS NO USEFUL PUR-
POSE WILL BE SERVED BY CON-
TINUING IT-OTHER LARGE
SYSTEMS EXPECTED.

Washington, Sept Immediately
upon the reassembling of the Inter
state Commerce commission early IN
October. consideration will be given to
the order made by the commission
several months ago, providing for an
inquiry into the operations OF the
roads in the control Of James J. Hill.
All indications point TO an abandon
ment of the inquiry IN the case OF the
Hill roads, and formal notice to this
effect will possibly be given by the
commission following it's first meet
ing after the summer recess.
The determination of the commits
sion to probe the Hill roads was
reached coincident with the issuance
of the order for an investigation into
the conduct and management OF the
roads controlled by r.. II. Hartman.
At that time it was planned to look
into the operations OF practically all
the roads in the United States. and
although the project was regarded as
one of great magnitude, the commits
sion fully intended tn embark on it.
The conclusion has been reached.
however that no useful purpose will
be accomplished by a general inquiry
into the methods of business of the
Hill roads or the other big carriers of
the country.
