NOT DCNE ACCORDING
TO CONTRACT.
PROMINENT CITIZEN DISCUSSES
ON LOCAL CONDITIONS In THE
CONTRACTING FIELD.

A prominent citizen called at the As
torian office yesterday and said:
Il have been reading the reports o.
how the furniture trust got pinche,
and | thought | would come in and pul
you next to,a trust here in Astoria thai
has the furniture trust beat to death
that II the contractors trust. II IL .
fright the way prices have SCARED in th,
past year or two since II got to work
ing. A few years ago grading wa'
done in Astoria at 25 cents per yard
now It Is up to IS to s5 cents. Oi
course wages are higher but the raise
is all out Of proportion, and have been
watching the matter closely and am sat
isfied the contractors are all standing IN
together; also the street work IL not
being done according to specifications
Look at Bond street for insance. The
specifications called for top dressing Of
rock screenings, instead Of that dirt was
used. Now when 1t rains the street y
sea Of mud and when II gets dry the
dirt blows so you can't see across the
street and the city has had to go to the
expense of buying and maintaining a
street sprinkler because the work was
not done according to contract. There
il bound to be day Of reckoning ahead
for somebody"

HONOLULU SENT SCALE BUGS
TO LOS ANGELES BY OHIO

Los Angeles Times.-Still another
tale of woe has its foundation in the
return of the good" ship Ohio from
Honolulu to the port of San Pedro last
Sunday. The fact has not been gen
orally known, but many lives were lost
right in the harbor of San Pedro-lives
deliberately sacrificed by being cast

day by the members of the County

When the time came for sailing from
the Hawaiian Islands there was hur-
rying of Angelenos to gather in plants
of rare species, beautiful ferns, strange
and beautifully -colored coleus and
crotons, odd varieties of palms. ETC.,
until the Ohio, in certain sections, re-
sembled a tropical greenhouse.
BY courtesy of the managers of the
expedition every passenger was allow
ed to bring a certain amount of this
sort of "dunnage" aboard, and was
given the privilege of placing in the
hold one crate of pine apples. 1t was
a privilege duly priced and the collec-
tion of plumber was something to
wonder at. II may be recalled that
stateroom space was at something of
a premium on the Ohio, but, despite
this fact. 1t Is said that some of the
lady passengers so priced their acqui-
sitions OF Hawaiian plants that they
actually shared their berths with the
home.

other officials were busy In the green

Some of these pests had never before

FORAKER ON BIG FINE.
Says he Helped Do 1t by Activity on
ElkiuS Law.

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio. August 7.-senator
Foraker IN a speech which he made here
Yesterday spoke of the fne imposed on the
Standard OH Company by Judge Lands in
Chicago last week.
"Of the more than one hundred cases
brought against railroads. corporations and
shippers in the last two years every one.
including the one in which the Standard
was heavily fined last Saturday. was
brought under the Elkins law. which I
helped to frame and pass" said the senator.
The greater part Of his address here was
devoted to a defense of his public career.
He discussed the Joint statehood, the
Brownsville riot and the rate law contro-
versies He declared that II he is to be
eliminated for voting his conscience and
best Judgment dictate, simply because three
times in which not policies but mere Incl
dents were at stake he differed from Roose-
Welt, then he didn't desire to return to
public life.
He referred to the joint statehood case
and said he understood that the President
now felt that his former stand on the
question was foolish.
for the presidential nomination he said:
mo one should be a candidate for so high
an Office"
As to Senator Tillman's challenge for ue-
bate on the rate question Senator Foraker
paid the highest tribute to Tillman's ability
and integrity. but said that unless the
matter was brought up In the Senate he
would not turn aside from other issues to
discuss the rate question.

MORE TRUST CASES
REBATE PROSECUTIONS PENDING
AGAINST NEW YORK ROADS.

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, August THE
federal grand jury yesterday completed Its
investigation into alleged violations Of the
interstate commerce law. and Friday after
noon will report indictments against the
STANDARD OIL Company. the Vacuum Oil
Company OF Rochester and Olean, a sub
s1dfary company of the Standard, and the
Pennsylvania railroad.
The railroad will be indicted for giving
rebates, and the two oil companies for re-
ceiving them. 1t is also believed that the
New York Central will be indicted for re-
batting. although most Of the work of the
grand jury has been directed against the
Pennsylvania rHilroad and the Standard and
Vacuum OIL companies
The investigation, which has been In
progress for nearly three weeks. has been
conducted by Special Assistant Attorney
General g. Wallace Dempsey of Lockport
G. NJ Crosland, a representative of the
interstate commerce commission, and T. NJ
8. SCHNEIDER, a representative Of the bureau
of corporations at Washington.
Rebates From Big Oil Center.
The charge is that the railroads gave the
Standard and Vacuum Oh companies re-
bates on shipments Of oil from Olean over
the Pennsylvania railroad to Rochester;
thence over the New York Central to Nor
wood N. Y. and then over the Rutland
railway to Rutland Burlington and Bellows
Falls VT.
Olean is the great distributing point OF
the Standard OIL Company for big ter
ritory and 1t is charged that by means OF
these rebates the oil trust was able to
monopolize the oil business Of northern
New York and a large part Of New Eng
land.
Mr. Dempsey was especially careful to
establish the fact that the oil was shipped
in violation of the law from New York
state into Vermont. because this brings
the matter under the Jurisdiction Of the
Interstate commerce laws.
The charge is that the Standard and
Vacuum Oil companies were allowed a
freight rate of about third Of what in
dependent oil companies were forced to pay.
For this reason an exceedingly small
quantity OF oil was shipped over this route
to New England by Independent oil COM
panies Both the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania railroad will be indicted
for failing to file their freight rates as re-
uuired by the interstate commerce laws.
The investigation just completed covers
all of 1905 and the last six months OF 1905.
50 that the indictments will probably con-
tain many counts. for each oil tank car
shipped from Olean to Vermont will be a
count in the Indictment II shipped In viola
ton Of the-law.
II is generally believed that the aggre-
ga tie fines to which the companies will be
liable will be up in the millions on account
~ the immense quantity OF oil that was
shipped to New England over this route
