STOLE HIS LAST RIDE
George Mcdonald Killed by
Cars in Denison.
WAS RIDING THE BUMPERS
Identified as Gentleman Tramp" Who
Had Twice Done Time Here.

On Monday morning George Nc
Donald was killed by falling under
the wheels of Northwestern freight
train. The accident occurred at the
iron bridge just opposite the Luney
Mills. The body was badly mutilated
and death must have been nearly in
Simultaneous. When found about seven
A. M. the body still retained some
warmth. 1t is supposed that he had
been riding the bumpers of freight
and that he had swung out to catch
car ladder and that his body then pro-
jected just far enough to strike the
side OF the bridge. The blow would
have knocked him from the car and
under the wheels.
Little of value was found upon his
person. He carried two memoranda
books. In one of which his name is
given as Geo. Mcdonald with the ad-
dress 1904 Charles st. but no town.

Standard Oil Determinations.

Another installment of the report
made by Commissioner Of Corporations
Smith contains evidence to show that
American consumers are charged high
prices to enable the trust to control the
foreign trade by underselling the com
petitors in other lands. This discrim-
ination, says Mr.. Smith, is not for the
purpose Of maintaining American ex-
port trade, but dominance Of the trust
which has used its power ito the dis
advantage Of the American public"
The report also shows how the trust
compels certain railroads to pay double
price for lubricating oils under threat
Of not giving them their share Of
Standard freight. 1t says that the
trust maintains it's position not by SUI
periority of service and fair prices, but
by unfair methods Of destroying com

has raised prices instead Of lowering
them and that railroad rebates were
largely the means. The trust issued

Meyers Postal Reforms.
Postmaster General Meyer says he
will ask congress at the next session
to provide for parcels post limited to
ten pounds and that he is also con-
sidering the feasibility of some sort
of postal savings bank. He also wants
to reduce the postage to such coun-
tries as we have direct ship lines to.
He is experimenting with stamp SELL

fishing an evening letter delivery for

WISE . .
fined his own personal attitude a. fol.
lows: Let me say that, as far as
am concerned and for the eighteen
months OF my presidency that remain,
there will be no change In the policy
we have pursued, no let up In the effort
to secure the kpnest observance Of the
law, for regard this contest as one
to determine who shall rule this free
country, the people through their gov
ernmental agents or few ruthless
and domineering men whose wealth
makes them peculiarly formidable, be-
cause they hide behind the preastworks
OF corporate organization" The presi-
dent tried to make 1t plain that he was
not objecting to "honest profits or legit-
innate promoters and generous divi-
dends for capital employed In founding
or continuing honest business ven
lures" On the contrary, his aim was
to help every honest man and every
honest corporation, but for those who
offended against the law he wanted
additional legislation to provide for
criminal action and for punishment by
Imprisonment as well as by fine.
In this connection he pointed out the
difficulty of successful criminal actions,
because the law is construed in favor
Of the defendant and because juries
are generally disposed to excuse off,
Gals Of corporations for practices COM
mon in the business community while
Furnishing the corporation for proved
illegalities. He said the idea prevailed
that unless q man can be proved guilty
of some particular crime he shall be
counted a good citizen, no matter how
infamous his life or how pernicious his
doctrines may have been. This view,
he said, was announced now by
group of predatory capitalists and now
by group of anarchistic agitators
whenever a special champion of their
class Is acquitted Of some specific
crime. AS to what he had said about
desirable and undesirable citizens re-
ferring to the Hartman letter and the
comparison to Haywood, Meyer and
Debs) he declared emphatically: "The
same remains true as when the words
were spoken. 1 stand pat" In order
to carry out his present line Of action,
the president again urged a national
incorporation law and for the benefit
Of wageworkers national employers
liability law. He assailed the pluto
cratic type of society and reiterated his
belief in the wisdom and justice Of the
income and inheritance taxes. Refer
ring to the corporations which are COM
mon carriers, he reminded the public
again that they could be completely
controlled by the government through
the exercise of the interstate COM
MERGE and post road clauses Of the con-
stitution.
Tafts Plea For Negroes.
In speech at Lexington, KY, Sec
rotary Taft touched frankly upon the
negro question, saying that disfran-
chisement was fair only If 1t included
illiterate whites as well as illiterate
negroes.

ing protection for tie church dignitn-
ries. 1t IL the first time since 1870 that
such communication has been sent to
the Italian government from the Vati-
can. BY Implication 1t accuses Italy of
conniving with the anticlericals, espe-
cially In not prohibiting meetings of
Socialists. The pope and the cardinals
under italian laws have the same
rights as sovereigns and princes Of for
eign governments.
Peace Conference Topics.
The question of the LIMITATION Of
armamerts having been disposed of
with the mildest kind Of resolution.
suggesting that the different govern
ments consider the matter, The Hague
conference eHtered upon a new stage
with British, American, German and
French delegations combining against
Russia, Belgium and others that were
anxious to terminate the conference.
America, England and Germany
agreed on a scheme for the establish
ment of an international prize court
which is also acceptable to France and
certain of adoption. A new feature Of
this scheme is that the prize court
will be a part of the permanent arbi-
irrational court, and therefore does not
presuppose the existence Of war.
This further strengthened the case in
behalf of q permanent court by show
pig that it would have important work
to do.
Hurryins Troops to Morocco.
General Drude, commanding 5000
French troops camped about mile
east of Casablanca, Morocco, has been
hard pressed by succession Of fiery
assaults Of the Moroccan tribesmen by
night and by day. In response to his
urgent demands the French govern
ment has ordered 1000 sharpshooters
to be rushed to the relief of Casablan-
ca, and it was expected that more
would be necessary in order to control
the rising tide Of anti-Christian fanati-
cism along the coast of Morocco. 1t
was reported subsequently that $4,000
fanatical Moors under the new sultan
were marching against the city pro-
tected by the French. A section of
the rebels had proclaimed Mulai Ha-
| fig, the sultan's brother, as the ruler
Of the country.
The Europeans were rushing to the
protection Of foreign legations In the
coast towns to avoid the threatened
general outbreak and massacre. The
pasha Of Casablanca, who was held
responsible for the first outbreak, re-
| mains prisoner on board the French
cruiser Gloire, the second officer of
which takes his place as governor of
the city. The French authorities have
| restored q semblance Of order and
have been clearing up the streets in
which the dead and wounded had been
left for days. The city has been re-
duced to one-fifth its former popula-
ton, the number Of persons slain dur
| ing the massacre and bombardment
being estimated at 1000. The proper.
| ty loss was something over $1,000,OO0
The French have already begun the re-
| building Of the minaret of a mosque
which was destroyed by shells The
sultan's army is said to have won a
victory over the native rebels in the
territory where Kaid MacLean has
| been held captive.

and Japan. Secretary Van der Velde
of the international Socialist bureau,
officiated at the opening Of the con-
gress. The opening address was made
by Herr Bebel OF Germany. He laid
stress on the Socialist gains during the
past year in France and on the fact
that for the first time Socialists had
been elected to the British parliament.
In his own country, while the number
of seats i'm the reichstag had been re-
duced, he pointed out that the Socialist
vote had increased a quarter Of mil
lion since 1900. He said the number
Of enrolled members of Socialist syndi-
Gates in Germany last year was
100000. He referred to the scan
dalous prosecution" of Haywood in
America and expressed satisfaction at
his acquittal. Herr Singer presided.
An open air mass meeting was attend
ed by 10000 Socialists.
The more important subjects dis
eussed during the week were immigra-
ton, the relation of the party to trades
Unions and the proposal to Introduce
simultaneously in all parliaments a
motion for establishing by law maxi
mum working hours.
Catholic Troubles In Italy.
In consequence of the assault upon
Cardinal Merry del Val, papal secre-

Hartman and Alton to Escape.


After a series of conferences between
Attorney General Bonaparte, District
Attorney Sims of Chicago and General
Counsel Mather for the Rock Island,
which controls the Alton, at Washing
ton it was generally understood, al
though not yet officially announced
that the government must keep the
promise of immunity sanctioned by
former Attorney General Moody in ia
vor of the Alton officials and e. ii.
Hartman individually, although this
promise was in the nature of an oral
understanding and had not the basis
of signed documents. 1t appears that
this promise was not known personal
ly to Mr.. Bonaparte or to Judge lands
until after the summoning of the spe-
cial grand jury to investigate the pol
Icy of the Alton road. AS soon as this
Jury was called former District Attor-
ney Morrison of Chicago notified Mr..
Bonaparte of the promise made in his
presence.
Must Treat Soldiers Better.
General Greedy, commander Of the
army, recommends that the pay of sol
diers be increased from 20 to so pcs
cent, that the term of enlistment be
made five years and that the minimum
penalty for desertion should not be
less than the uneXpired term of enlist
ment. In his opinion. small pay ant
lack of variety, in rations are the chief
causes of assertions from the army.
He contrasts the daily pay of 1874 Gents
to that of 1910 for the unskilled labo:
err. General Carter, commanding the
department of the lakes, reports that
the cause of desertion is overwork,
made necessary by the small number
of men in the army.
Steamship Baggage Reform.
The transatlantic liners henceforth
are to be supplied with new forms for
baggage declarations, so that return
ing travellers from Europe may fiji
them out during the voyage and thus
lessen the delay attending this formal
| ity at the home port. This will obviate
the necessity of passengers being put
under oath while crowded in the steam
er's saloon just before debarkation.
The words, 81 do solemnly swear" are
omitted from the form Of entry.
| Railroad Death List.
According to the accident bulletin
recently issued by the interstate COM
merce commission, 421 passengers and
employees were killed In train acct
dents on the railroads Of the United
States during the three months ending
March 81. The number injured dur
ing the same period was 1920. This
shows slight decrease in number
as compared with the record of the
