RAILROAD WILL NOT
Be MADE DEFENDANT
Head OF Department OF Justice
Does Not Believe General Pros
perity VIII be Injured by
Standard Oil's Great
Fine.

Chicago, ILL.,, August 17.-The gov
ernment will keep faith with the Chi
| cago & Alton railway in its promise
or immunity made by Attorney GEN
| eral Moody when he obtained the evil
dence of the roads officials against
! the Standard Oil company Of Indiana,
in the case recently decided by Judge
Lands. of the federal court, in which
the standard was given a fine of $29,-
100000. Judge Lands will respect
that promise as he cannot well do
otherwise
The matter of the immunity prom
ise, which has been taken up by the
judge with the department OF Justice,
has been definitely settled. Attorney
General Bonaparte has wired Judge
Lands that the explicit promise of
immunity which was given the Off
cials of the Alton, must be respected.
Lands viii Agree.
Judge Lands, as a jurlst. prefers
to prosecute the railroad but he re-
alizes that the courts must secure
evidence In many cases from parties
who ave Almost as guilty as the de-
fencl'is In such cases ard this evil
dence can only be obtained through
promises of immunity from punish
ment. While he has not yet directly
expressed his opinion on the matter,
II Is now regarded, in the light OF
Attorney General Bonaparte' n request,
as a foregone conclusion that Judge
lands viii, on September 8. dis
charge the grand jury which he em-
pannelled this week, and whose term
of service he continued until Sept. s.
BOnaparte on Big Fine.
Washington, August 17.-Secretary
Bonaparte, in speaking of the fine
levied by Judge Landis against tine
Standard oil company of Indiana,
stated today that In case the supreme
court of the United States affirms the
judgment of the federal court of
which Judge Landis is the presiding
head, II Will undoubtedly be neces-
sary to have a receiver appointed for
the oil company in order to collect
the fine. He believes that the fine
Will be approved by the supreme
court, as II Is not aimed alone at the
Indiana concern, but at the Standard
OIL company of New Jersey, the par
ent of the Indiana concern.
In view of the general decline of
important stocks and a general fear
of radical antitrust activity by the
government which has prevailed in
Wall street, Mr.. Bonaparte was ask
ed this question:

porations of the country generally
conducted on such unlawful princi-
Piles that the prosecutions deemed
necessary by the law department of
the United States will unsettle indus
trial conditions and lessen our pros

Mr.. Bonaparte replied:
Il know of no facts which Justify
any such statement. There have been
violations OF federal statutes by some
corporations and by some individual
and, so far as this department can
accomplish 1t, the guilty corporations
and the guilty individuals will be
brought to trial, and, when convicted.

each is small and the vindication of
the law can, in my opinion, have only
beneficial effect on the prosperity
OF the country, although II may de-
moralize some speculators"

Tucson, Ariz., August 17.-For
eleven days, Mrs. Ursula Buteras lay
alone on the floor of a squalid adobe
hut near the orphanage in this city
with a gaping wound in her head, in
fiicted by her husband during a
drunken rage on August 6. Today
she managed to call a boy who de-
livered a note to Sheriff Myers, and
on examination the officer found her
In a dying condition. Her husband
was captured a few hours later and
Is held without bond pending the re-
suits of her injuries. Physicians state
that she will die.
Her husband in a drunken rage on
August 6, attacked her while she pre-
pared supper, slashing at her face
with a butcher knife. Finally from
excessive loss of blood and fright, she
tainted and he dropped her apparent
ly lifeless form TO the floor and fed.

Later he returned hut paid no at
tention to his victim, who lay on the
floor unable to rise. After that, day

en- his meals, and on one or two oc-
casions condescended to throw some
scraps to the wounded woman, but he
refused 10 listen to her or TO give her
water.
Today she gained sufficient strength
by a desperate effort to call a pass

oVerturning of an elevator cage at
the tipple of Sonman shaft near
Johnstown, Pa, today five miners are
dead and six injured. The men killed

The eleven men who were riding In
the cage were thrown out, but six
of them fell only TO tire second level

shaft entrance as they fell, and were
undoubtedly killed before they reach

crushed beyond recognition. All Of
the men were married.

W HAT each and every one OF

others again succeed in commanding
power.
Under these four headings come very
many other objects Of ambition, OF

though DESTROYS Of success, yet re

and OF love there are many kinds
There is love paternal. coHjugal, pre-
or post-conjugal. platonic love proper.
or love OF knowledge in the highest
love IN God.
Even so 1t is with honor ard power;

INST mentioned contain all the ele-
inents conducive to happiness
These four desires are fundamental;
they are the essence Of man, and

A man with a big. fun face and a
too big nose is as ugly as one with
a thin, narrow face and an insignia
cant nose. In the child, however. the
little nose and the little face are
nearly always in harmony.
Il IS again the same with the mouth
Of the child. The ordinary child's
mouth is touchingly beautiful. II is
small the lips curved and blood red.
Later it grows big, The lips grow thin
and become brownish OF family pink.
Tlis is not only because he mouth OF
the child grows, but also because no
other feature is thus nodded by habit
as is the mouth Through speaking
and showing the mouth gets a shape
entirely different from its original one
Its color depends upon the state OF
health; anenic people have pale lips.
The sturdy, pretty little chap of
three years grows IN and grows angu-
lar. awkward and bony. and the little
cherub Of a girl gets poor legs. poor
carriage, the beauty Of her body is
spoiled by the corset; her charm is
gone.
And then the misery OF the hair:
What often makes children beautiful
is the loose hair, falling straight or in
curls over the shoulders and making
them look Ike angels.
The boys hair is cut short when he
starts 10 90 TO school. and that OF the
girl is twisted into unslghtly braids.
Thus it happens that beautiful chill
dren grow ugly, and on the other side
ugly children develop INTO handsome
adults.
