PROBE LUMBER TRUST.
Federal Court at Minneapolis Will
Take Up Matter.

Minneapolis, Co.. 1.-The federal
court will be in session in this city
shortly and the grand jury will begin
an Investigation of the so-called lum-
Der trust, which is understood to have
it's headquarters in Minneapolis. Wit
nesses to the number of fifty have, it
Is reported, been summoned to testify
before the grand jury. OF this num-
Der twenty are from this state and
the balance from Iowa and the two
Dakotas. It is understood that the
government has been collecting testi-
mony to show that the lumber trust
has been using the mails for unlawful
purposes in its crusade to squeeze the
independent companies to exhaustion.
The report of the grand jury on this
particular line Of law infraction may
be Of sensational nature.

DISPERSED BY TROOPS.
Band of Outlaws Appears in Santiago
Province,

Havana, of IA band of four
teen bandits attracted the attention of
the authorities of Santiago province
recently and a detachment of rural
guards was sent to apprehend them.
Shots were exchanged and the bandits
were dispersed.
The government does not believe
that the appearance of the bandits in
Santiago province was part of the
movement planned by the conspirators
recently arrested here. They are be-
lieved to be outlaws representing sew
eral Of the foreign nations who have
been employed at the Santiago iron
mines. Captain Daugherty, super
visor Of the rural guards at Santiago
de Cuba, has left that city for the
scene of the disturbance with an ad-
ditional detachment of rural guards
and it is believed that the bandits will
be captured within a few hours.

FAIRBANKS TURNED DOWN
Cocktail Episode Comes Up at Meth
odist Convention.

Columbus, o., >".-It has just
developed that Vice President Fair
banks was not a candidate for dele
gate to the Methodist conference, but
that his name had been urged by
friends who had been assured that the
election would be by reclamation. ln-
stead bitter contest developed dur
ing which the vice presidents name
was withdrawn.
The temperance laymen, many Of
them long associated with Mr.. Fair
banks in the church, refused to con-
done what they regard as an offense
against temperance and the distin-
guished candidate went down because
Of having served cocktails and three
kinds Of wine at the dinner given to
President Roosevelt on Memorial day
at the Fairbanks home.
Up to the meeting Of the laymen's
convention it was supposed that Mr..
Fairbanks had been very busy with
delegates during the conference and,
so far as surface indications showed
there seemed to be a general acQui-
escence in the desire to select him as
one Of the quadrennial delegates.

ON ORIENTAL TRAFFIC
Hartman Ocean and Rail Lines
Accused Of Wrongdoing.
SIX INDICTMENTS FOUND
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
Charged With Making Rates Below
the Published Tariff.

San Francisco, (k-According
to report in circulation here six in.
dictments have been found by the fed
eral grand jury against the Pacific
Mail Steamship company and the
Southern Pacific company. In these
indictments the names Of Edward H.
Hartman, John C. Stubs and r. P.
Schwerin, it Is understood. are men,
toned. The indictments, it Is said,
embrace lao counts and relate par.
ticularly to violations Of the law on
shipments from the Orient through
the port Of San Francisco to Chicago.
The particular instances in which the
law is said to have been violated re.
late to shipments of mating from
Kobe to Chicago, these shipments be.
ing very heavy and numerous during
number Of months of the year.
A special agent of the Interstate
commerce commission has been on
the Pacific coast for several months
and also in Japan Investigating these
shipments and how the Pacific Mail
and Southern Pacific have been max.
Ing rates lower than the published
tariff on them at various times. It is
the making of lower rate than the
published tariff on which the indict-
ments have been based.
Southern Pacific officials are said to
have admitted that prior to the en-
forcement of the new rate law they
had not been strictly living up to the
threeday notice provision of the old
law because of the impossibility Of
doing so and retaining their share of
Oriental shipments to this country in
competition with foreign lines. They
insisted, however, that since the new
law has gone into effect they have not
made any lower rate than the pub
lished one. This, it Is claimed, Is
the first time in the history of trans
pacific traffic through this port that
a federal grand jury has ever made in
dictments for violations of the inter-
state law
