TO DELINQUENTS
Several Hundred Dollars Are Due the
DEMOCRAT

Like any other business insti-
tuition we have our bills to paw
and we have no source of reve-
nue. other than The DEMOCRAT.
Therefore we must insist on all
who owe US paving promptly
In few days we are going TO
send stattmenls to those owing
US aud we will not send them
out tor fun, but because we
want the money. II you do not
want one of these better send in
what you owe at once. Don't
think that just because the
amount is small you will wait,
Should 500 persons each pay
one dollar, and there are more
than that number owing US
that and a larger amount, we
would then be in a position to
make some needed improv
menIs. We have earned the
money once, now do not make
US earn it again in collecting it,
but he prompt to pay. A
frie dly rivalry as To who will
pay most promptly. is what we
would like TO see Don't forget
that you will get an urgent in
vitatlon to pay if you do not
pay in few days.

Badly Injured.

Saturday morning 9. L.
Drescher,. of Pearceall & Dres-
cher, took some tongue tim bers
to the Marshall Bros. factory
and was at work at the shaping
machine, and when the timber
bounced, Mr.. Drescher lost his
balance and threw his right
hand out and it came in con-
tact with the jointing machine,
which promptly made itself
!elt for it chewed up the two
last fingers of the right hand.
He hurriedly left the shop
and went to the Monroe Hos
pital where Drs Hull, Ely and
Brown did all that could be
done for the injured member,
which was to ampulate the
ilttle finger and one next to it
and then treat the hand just as
all first class surgeons do in
like cases.
Now here is an example of
his thoughtfulnesS for his wife:
He did not go home until one
o'clock, because, II don't want
to. spoil her dinner, 1 want her
to eat her dinner before she
knows it. How many men

LOSES HIS TEMPER
Success of the Discontinued
Ones Depends Upon Cal
houn's Action

Earl Rogers, chief counsel for
TREY L. Ford, will be deposed as
leader of the defense if the attorneys
associated with him are able to obtain
the consent of Patrick Calhoun to the
change. At the end of yesterdays
session of court a conference was held
by the lawyers of the defense, during
which dissatisfaction was expressed
with the manner in which Rogers had
handled the case during the day.
Rogers was rambling in his manner
and seemed uncertain of himself while
questioning the officials from the mint,
who had given testimony of an ex-
ceedingly damaging nature against
Ford. At times he lost his temper and
in his anger apparently lost his grip
upon the case and allowed the prose-
cution to score point after. point.
The plan of the other attorneys in the
case is to turn the leadership over to
A. "a Moore. They were vfsibly per-
turbed during the case. particularly
when Rogers made an insulting attack
upon Frank A Leach. director of the
mint of the United States Leach had
driven point after point home for the
prosecution, and when Rogers was un-
able to shake his testimony he shouted
at the witness a sneering insinuation
that he had enriched himself while in
Office The effect on the jury OF such
an attack was obvious and 1t was felt
that Rogers had made a grave mistake.
Rogers was brought into the case
from Los Angeles and is said to be the
personal choice of Patrick Calhoun.
During the first few days of the trial
Rogers handled the witnesses so skill
fully that comment was general upon
his ability. but yesterday when the
mint officials were upon the stand Rog-
ers was apparently helpless.
At the outset some OF the, attorneys
of the defense were piqued at the
thought that Calhoun and Ford had
considered il necessary to import a
lawyer to handle the case. Win Rog-
ers have been associated in the de-
fense the following attorneys. A A.

Officials Blame Chief

Three indictments containing
lOS counts were filed by the fed
eral grand jury yesterday against
the Southern Pacific for hauling
shipments of Japanese mating
across the continent at secret
rates. Two more indictments of
eight counts each were returned
at the same time against the Pa
cihc Mail steamship company,
. based on the same consignment,
which originated in the far east
three years ago; and if the United
States court here follows the
precedent established by Judge
Landis with his famous SIS, ,24o,-
600 Standard oil rebate fine Har-
mans two transportation corporatio
yTIl have TO pay s2,4sO,ooo.
The penalty ranges from 81 900 to
$4,000 on each count and If the limit
is inflicted the railroad will have to pay
$3.50. 600. while the steamer line will
add $4,000.
The indictments were entered in
Judge de Haven's court late yesterday
afternoon. - hours after It had be-
come known that the federal inquis-
itors had summed up in a huge volume
Of charges all the evidence they had
Of rate law violations by the railroad
and its subsidiary steamship corpora
tion-
And IN an hour after It was an
nounced oficislly that the Hartman
Interests once again were to be
dragged into court by the interstate
commerce commission, virtual re-
newal was made Of the accusation that
the indictments were the result Of
Roosevelts persecution" Of the Wall
street msgnate.
s'It is singular said Peter 2. Dunno
assistant general counsel OF the South
ern Pacific, that the commission
should bark back TO a technical viola
lion OF the law in which the commits
sion acquiesced at the time. and which
Il condoned in an opinion written by
Commissioner Prouty, who said that
the railroads could not obey exactly
the letter OF the law as it then stood
and save the trade OF the orient for
san Francisco"
Summons will be issued today by
Judge de Haven and they viii be served
by the United States marshal upon E.
z. Calvin. vice president and general
manager Of the Southern Pacific, and
r. P. schwerin, manager OF the Pa
cihc Mall line. The indictments are
similar in form TO those returned in
. The Standard oil-Alton railroad rebate
case. The corporations only are
named. but the highest officers must
appear in court to answer for them.
rhe charges preferred by the grand
Jury allege that the shipments were ac-
cepted BY the steamship company at a
rate Of 81, although its published tariff
was s1.25. This was through rate
for taking the mating, which was
shipped from Kobe to destinations at
various inland points in the United
States.
The Indictments cover hundreds OF
printed pages and contain $4,000
words. II the steamer company is
given the maximum penalty it will
ray Uncle sam dollar word. or a
|. rate equal to that commanded by the
