should one be secured, against the

But Henry Missouri Is Doing Time on
the Streets to Pay.

the Streets to Pay.
There was a case of unusual inter
est in the mayors court Monday
morning. At least, It was case
OF Unusual interest to the lower class
Of colored people, who are represented
in the court every day, because 1t
was charge Of theft OF money,
something which is seldom heard Of
or reported to the police among this
class. While It is a recognized con-
cession that this class may impose
on their associates for food, and may
even sometimes collide in the pilfer-
ing or robbery OF some one Of higher
class. it is seldom a fact that they
will rob each other
But this is one OF the cases.
Sophia Jackson was kind Of sweet
heart. it seems, OF Henry Missouri
Sophia trusted him with everything
she said, from her confidence to her
money, and he finally took advantage
OF the woman by stealing her pocket
book, containing s2.35.
AS soon as Sophia lost the money,
realizing that she had no other com
pany that evening, she accused Mis-
souri, Of taking 1t, and notified Mar
shall Arrow.
Missouri was arrested in South
University street place, but swore up
and down that he knew nothing Of
TIE money. He was taken to the
house occupied by Sophia, and when
the woman appeared at the door
she said:
Look heahl Missouri. whar's mer

"Yer names Missouri an yer got

woman.

interrupted MARSHAL Arrow, as he
proceeded TO search the man, where
upon he discovered the empty pocket
book which the woman recognized

Railroads Of Nebraska Have Served Written Notice on State of
 Their intentions.

Lincoln. Neb.. June That the railroads of Nebraska believe they can not endure the loss in revenue occasioned by the two-cent passenger rate law and that they will in all probability at some time in the near future attack the law in the courts was clearly indicated Wednesday by the action of the Union Pacific and Chicago Rock Island & Pacific rail. roads at a session of the Nebraska state railway commission here.
 John N Baldwin, general solicitor of the Union Pacific, presented to the Nebraska state railroad commission q written notice and protest to the effect that the Union Pacific at the proper time and in the proper form and forum will contest the two-cent law on the ground of being confis. catory; the Rock, Island also filed a similar notice and protest. It is generally understood that the Bur lington and other railroads will prob ably join in the attack on the law. Railroad men are almost unanimous in the belief that in none of the Western. If indeed In any state, is the two-cent rate compensatory.

ID MAXI HARTMAN IELL
Suit to be Instituted to Compel An. swers to Commerce Commis-
 sion's Questions.
CRIMINAL PROSECUTION IS PROBABLE
Another to be Held Soon Regard ing the Matter-May Take Year to Reach Final Decision In Courts.

Washington. June 6.-The question enter criminal prosecution against E H. Hartman. the railroad magnate for the violation of the sherman anti trust law, was considered at a confer ence between President Roosevelt and Franklin K. Lane. interstate com merce commissioner at the White house Tuesday night.
 Mir. Lane was with the President for more than an hour and upon leaving the White house announced that be- fore July legal proceedings would be instituted to compel Mir. Harri- man to answer certain questions pro pounded to him by members of the commisson at the recent hearing in New York when the <on deal was under investigation. Previous to his missioner Lane had conferred with Frank E. Kellogg special counsel for the government in the Hartman in vestigation. Mir. Kellogg, 1t is under stood will have conference with the president some time this week and will later go to New York to institute suit against Mir Hartman to compel him to answer the questions regard ing the Alton transaction. At this conference all the members of the commission will be present and it will be definitely decided what action the administration is to take in regard to the criminal prosecutions against Mir Hartman. While no date has been set for this conference, it probab- ly will be held on Thursday or Satur- day of this week.
 The proceedings to compel Mir. Har- riman to answer the questions refer red to will be brought in the courts of the southern district of New York. Whether the prosecution or the de- defense should win the decision the case is expected to be appealed to higher courts and ultimately to the supreme court of the United States. According to opinions already expres- sed by members of the Interstate Commerce commission 1t may be a year or even more before final de- cision can be reached on these efforts to compel answers to the questions to which Mir Hartman declined to respond. For these reasons it was announced several weeks ago that the commission did not intend to await the result these proceedings before taking action on the general subject of the investigation of the liar riman lines.

.CROKER WINS TH[ DERBY
The Former Tammany Leader Cap lures the Blue Ribbon Event
 of English Turf.
WINNER pILOTED BY AMERICAN JOCKEY
Mir. croker Said to be Ahead $25o,ooo Ap the Result of the Race-Rous- Ing Reception to Horse and Owner by Hundreds of Americans Pres cnt

london. June 6.-Richard Croker Wednesday won the derby at Epson and gained the ambition of his iife' his colt Orby, bred from an Ameri- can dam and ridden by an American jockey. Johnny" Reiff, having beat en all the British cracks and cap tured the blue ribbon of the world s turf by two lengths.
 Out side of MT. Croker and his im- mediate entourage Orby had but few friends and the betting indicated that the sporting prophets estimated his chances as being slight MT. Croker and those who watched the colts trials, however, were sanguine that they held surprise in store for the derby crowds. Those who saw the Irish American candidate do his stretching gallop early Wednes- day liked the youngster so well that they thought 1t wise to hedge and his appearance on parade and at the post before the race brought a number of adherents. Nothing how ever. could shake the position ot Slieve Gallion, the Irish horse which won the 2,000 guineas stakes at New Market May 1, the favorite with the crowds and his defeat was regarded as inconceivable. Even the short odds on Slieve Gallion. 1S to on, failed to deter the betters from actively supporting him. Only nine horses went to the post and the starter had no difficulty in getting them away in good shape.
 A rank outsider. John Bull, be. longing to Horatio Bottomley, took the lead from Slieve Gallon, Ben sonian. Galvani and Orby, with All Black last. After covering five fur longs in this order. Slieve Gallion took up the running. Coming down the hill Bensonian and Orby pushed up on the leader and rounding Tat tenham corner the American repre-. sentative challenged the favorie
 Johnny" Reiff, riding Orby with admirable judgment, gradually took  his mount to the front and, stallins off a challenge on the post by Wool winder, landed his horse a winner by two lengths. Half length separated second and third horses.
 Orby met with mixed reception on returning to the scale. The vast majority of the crowd had lost money, in many cases huge sums The hundreds of Americans present however, gave the ex Tammany chief and his horse a reusing re ception.
 Aside from the enormous prestige of winning the blue ribbon, of the turf. MT Croker has made a fortune Beside the stake $32. 800 he had the opportunity of making any number of bets at about 10 to 1 and final, the value of Orby has increased tc such extent that Mir. Croker may il he so desires. sell him for an i'm mense sum- In one way and ar another his financial fruits are placed at about S250, 900.

JAPANESE ARE |NNCNANT
Only a Spark Needed to Start a Popular emonstration in Tokio
 Against the United States.
IRRITATED AT GOVERNMENTS APATHY
Leading Papers Silent on Question of Demanding Indemnity for San Francisco Affair but Preparation and Punishment of Rioters is Ex- pected-A Diplomats Views.

Tol1io, June 1.-The leading papers here whose opinions are worth quot ing. are silent on the question of demanding an idemnity for the SO called bombarding of Japanese establishments in San Francisco Reparation for the damage inflicted and the punishment of the culprits is expected, and it Is believed that the government is taking proper steps in tho matter.
 Though the public here Is irritated at the tardiness displayed in effect ing a solution of the difficulty, opinion has not yet reached the stage of advocating an appeal to hostile demonstration In any form. It is true, however, that popular indigna' tion has reached degree never be. fore witnessed in the history of
 Japan's relation with the United
 States. It is thought by influential
 Japanese that the quicker the facts
 regarding the negotiations now in
 progress here and in Washington
 are published the better it will be
 for all concerned. as a stage has now
 been reached when it may prove dan
 gerous to keep the people in suspense
 or ignorance of what is being done. An experienced diplomat, who was a portege of Marquis Ito and is a prominent figure in national affairs, said Thursday to a representative of , the Associated press:
 America is the last country with
 which I expected complications with
 Japan. Traditional friendship of the two nations uniformaly maintained by the government at Washington, makes me almost hesitate to believe
 that an anti-Japanese sentiment
 exists in Uncle Sam's territory,
 through the unfortunate occurrences
 stand unassailable. But before form
 ing Judgment iD the present instance
 1t is absolutely necessary to bear in
 mind that as in America, the
 autonomy of the various states is
 jealously guarded and the slightest
 infringement or interference by the
 national authorities is deeply resent
 ed. Consequently the federal govern
 ment is in a most delicate position.

Judge Hook delivered terrific arraignment of attorney Al bert l.. Wilson, of Kansas City, Mo, who prepared the affidavit The judge said the only hope of filing the affidavit was to create a sensation in newspapers and create public sen timent.

The affidavit was stricken from the files by order of Judge Hook Tucker commenced serving his sentence Wednesday night The bankruptcy proceedings were continued until a Judge can be found who can sit in the case Judge Pollock will not preside.

The claim being made that the Standard and the Santa Fe road were controlled by the same per sons. The affidavit further alleged that Judge Pollock had made a state ment against Tucker and the Uncle Sam company, out of court. Tucker was on the stand two hours and was subjected to a severe gruelling exami- nation by N. H. Loomis. general at torney for the Union Pacific, who was named by the court to conduct the eN animation. He attempted to corrobo- rate the charges in the affidavit, but became badly mixed, and admitted the affidavit was prepared on hear say.
 Attorneys for the Uncle sam oil company, asked the court to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings, stating that Tucker would pay every outstand ing debt in five days. Judge Hook refused to dismiss the suit Tucker will be taken from jail to testify. The present term of court will be con tinued until judge can be secured, Judge Hook returned to St. Paul Wednesday night,
 Ex.Attorney General Monett of Ohio, and Albert L. Wilson, of Kansas City, attorneys for H. H.
