SITUATION IN NEW YORK.
Operators May Not Work Any chIcagO
 Wires

New York. Aug. s-As soon as the operators in the Chicago office of the Western Union Telegraph Company went out tonight, the company's trunk lines directly connecting Chicago with this City were ordered closed for the night.
 They will be re-opened tomorrow, and such New York Chicago business handled as the company is able to dis patch. None of the officers of the com pany would discuss the situation to- night. The move at Chicago was not wholly a surprise to the members of the Photographers Union here.
 They had received an animation that the trouble at Los Angeles was likely to involve men working sn the offices of the company in other cities. and de- veIopments of the last TWO days had not appeared to be favorable to a friendly settlement of the dispute on the coast.
 Something definite on the situation is expected to develop early tomorrow when business between this city and Chicago Is resumed.
 It Is said to be possible that the men here would refuse Immediately to work New York Chicago wires if non union men worked in Chicago. Word from President Small. Of the operators union. who is in San Francisco, IS ex- pecteds

ach and kidneys, and while the great
Root Juice scientist was proving the
merits of the Root. Juice remedy to the
people of northern Indiana. Mr.. Nor
gan purchased six bottles of the Juice
and while it was being wrapped up he
said: IF Root Juice cures me I will
make the scientist a present of one
hundred dollars" A short while ago
Mr.. Morgan called on the scientist and
said that he could eat anything with
out the slightest inconvenience and
that his kidney trouble was entirely
cured. He wanted the scientist to take
the one hundred dollars, but it was re-
fused. However, it was agreed to give
the money to an orphan asylum. So
Root Juice is not only curing the sick,
but in this instance will be the indi-
rect means of caring for some dead

it's wonderful merits to many people of

RAILROADS WILL GRANT SPECIAL
EXCURSION RATES.
Decision to Make No Concessions, /,
Was Discovered, Was Not
Profitable One.

The railroads have run up against a
snag and will make a change in policy.
Since the two-cent law went into eff
feet, the roads absolutely refused to
grant special excursion rates for spe-
cial excursions, and as the result there
has been universal dissatisfaction
among railroad patrons. Owing to the
railroads stubborn attitude the Rome
City assembly had to be discontinued
this year, the G. r. & | refusing to give
a rate. Now comes the announcement
that the policy of granting railroad ex-
cursion rates for special occasions in
Ohio. Indiana and Illinois will be con-
tinued, by decision of the representa-
tives of the trunk lines in that section
concerned last week Among those
present were: President Underwood
and Assistant General Traffic Manager
ID. w. Cooke of the Erie; George F.
Randolph, first vice president of the
Baltimore & Ohio; d. o. Ives, general
traffic manager of the Pennsylvania.
and Warren j. Lynch of the passenger
traffic department of the New York

Second Federal Inquiry Into
Relations Between Road
And Standard.
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.
THIS is RUNNING AGAINST THE
GOVERNMENT AND THERE is NO
TIME TO BE LOST IN TAKING
ACTION.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Today preparations
for the second federal inquiry into the
relations between the Standard Oil
company and the Chicago Il Alton road
ordered by Judge kenesaw NJ Lands
on Saturday begins. The call for the
grand jury was issued and District At
torney Sims, with his associates. Will
go over all the evidence presented at
the recent Standard Oil trial, which re-
suited in the huge fine and select the
witnesses to be subpoenaed.
1t developed today that the reason
for haste in this matter is that the stat
ute of limitations is running against
the government and because of it the
Alton will escape re-indictment on be-
tween 500 and 1000 counts of the l.
462 on which the Standard Oil compa-
ny was convicted last spring.
This statute of limitations bars pros
ecution on offenses committed more
than three years before Indictment
Many of the shipments on which the
Standard Oil was convicted ow securing
rebates. occurred between September
1903, ad August, 1907. and the longer
this second investigation is deferred
the less the Alton will have to answer
for.
When the grand jury eonvenes on
Aug. II a few days will suffice to pre-
sent the evidence against the Alton
The jury will be drawn from the old
Northern district of Illinois and will
consider infractions of the Elkins law
occurring from August. 1904, until
March, 1905. Subsequently another
grand jury will be summoned from the
new district that will take cognizance
of offenses committed from March,
1905, until June, 1906, when the Elk
ms law was repealed by the new rate
law. The impending indictments of
the Alton and probably of some of its
and Standard officials came SO much in
the nature of bombshell that no one
of the officials feels qualified to dis
cuss it.
The feeling in Alton circles. how
ever, is that the government is I'M
grateful, in that it was the testimony
of Alton officials that rendered the
verdict of guilty against the Standard
possible.
There was no understanding. tacit or
otherwise, however, that could have
led the Alton officials to expect immu-
My for their company.

These men have no conscientious scru-
pies against doing their patrons such
a dastardly outrage, or they would not
have gone to the expense of hiring
lawyer to block government inspection.
The only way to turn the tables on

the only way to their hearts lies
