that day the freight is billed at the reduced rate and starts on, and up goes the rate again as soon as possi- ble. No one else can take advantage of it on the nick of time, because no one else had large quantity of freight ready for shipment. and it cannot be got ready at once.
 Another way is by means of the many little corporations owned by the railroad magnates-the express, the red line, the blue line. the dis patch line. and so on as you see them by watching train go by. They coll lect freight money, and the railroad companies get only a pittance for hauling their cars. This is also a means of intercepting freight money and thereby wronging railroad stock holders If all the freight money of goods hauled by the New York Cen tral Co went into the treasury of that company instead of being thus inter- cepted the stockholders of that com pany would be getting a dividend more than twice that they get now"
 Judge Gaynor spoke of low rates being given to freight coming from foreign countries to offset the protec- tive tarif duties and enable such goods to come here at all. and said:
 What a humiliating sight it Is to see these national highways being used to beat the government itself, under the favor of which they exist. The government establishes a tariff on imports. scaled not merely for rev. enue tut for protection of American industries and labor That has been the policy of our government for gen. erations- And yet the persons who rule the corporations which run our railroads. our public highvays. do not hesitate to give foreIgn gUods .

EN- ON THE EVENING OF THE
FOURTH HAS ALSO BEEN POST
PONED.

Whitewater, Ind, June 29.-Owing to
the case of diphtheria in the family of
Edgar Jordan and the possibility of
other cases, it has been deemed advis-
able to close the churches tomorrow.
There will be no Sunday school or
other church services. While it is not
probable that any new cases will devel-
op, yet there is feeling that there
might be, and the officials of the
churches have taken this action. The
supper to be given the evening of the
Fourth, by the young ladies of the NJ.
e. church, has been postponed. There
will be no celebration on that evening
as planned, and the speakers for the
occasion have all been notified of the
existing conditions and the precautions
that are being taken in the matter.
The citizens are very grateful to those
who had agreed to deliver addresses,
and regret very much that the condi-
tions are such that the program cannot
be carried out A strict quarantine
has been placed around the Jordan res
idence, and every possible precaution
taken to prevent any contagion. The
child affected is somewhat better at
this time and the indications point to
a speedy recovery.

popularity in Europe was due to the
fact that his policy had driven from

Mr.. Harvey's charge that under Presi-

PRAISES PREACHER
FOR KILLING INDIAN
Commissioner Leupp Notifies
Rev. Mr.. Gill Of Effort to
Promote Him.

Phoenix, Ariz, Sept. 13.-Rev. Nj
Gill, superintendent of the Fort Nc
Dowell Indian reservation, is highly
elated over the receipt of a letter from
Francis f. Leupp, commissioner Of In
dian affairs, putting the official stamp
of approval on the recent killing OF
Justia Navajo, a dangerous character
that had been ordered to leave the res
ervation. Commissioned Leupp went
a step further and informed Superin-
tendent Gill that in view Of the fact
that he had placed his own life In peril
10 obey the orders of his superiors he
had notified headquarters at Washing
ton that he wished him not only sus-
tanned and defended to the full limit
of the indian office, but offered a pro-
motion at the first opportunity for hav-
ing shown himself a faithful servant
Of the government in a trying situa-
ton. Referring to the killing, Com
missioner Leupp said in his letter:
1T is always a deplorable extremity
which involves the violent shedding of
human blood, but when a human be-
ing, no matter of what race or color,
lowers himself to the level of a mad
dog, he deserves the consideration we
show to a mad dog and not one whit
more"
Since the killing of Navajo by the
Rev. Mr.. Gill upon orders to rid the
reservation of all obnoxious and dam
.gerous characters the reservation has
become peaceful and no further trou-
BILE is anticipated.

STEUNENBERC INDICTED
WITH SENATOR BORAH
"John Doe" Named by Gran
Jury In Land Fraud Cases:
Slain Governor.
DETAILS ALL COMING OUT
Hawley, Who Prosecuted HAYWOOD
Will Defend the Idaho Senator
at Trial Septem-
Der %.

Denver. Sept. 1S.-The John Doe
named in the list of IN
dicted with Senator Borah for land
frauds is the murdered Ex-Governor
Frank 3. steunenberg, of Idaho. from
the charge of killing whom Haywood,
OF the western federation. whom Borah
assisted in prosecuting, was freed.
This disclosure, by far the most SEN
'sational In recent months In connection
with federal prosecutions in the west,
has leaked cut here.
The statement is absolutely authentic.
The government authorities refuse 10
give official confirmation OF the connec-
tion of the murdered Idaho governor
with the land conspiracy, yet from
sources unquestionably reliable ii has
been learned Steunenl re- was actually
indicted.
Senator Borah was indicted last
March for completely in the alleged
land grabs of the Barber Lumber COM
pany. Most of the details OF the In
dictment were made public for the first
time September 4 in Boise, where the
trial is to be. The list of defendants
was made public and in 1T was m
man designated as John Doe. There
was more or less speculation as to the
real identity of this mysterious defend
ant.
Naturally, even the United States
cannot fine or imprison a dead a
1t is understood. however, that all the
evidence connecting ~Steunenberg with
the alleged gigantic land grab will be
brought out. Probably the government
considers the evidence necessary In or
to establish the existence OF a con-
spiracy which will involve the other de-
PENDANTS.
The land grab alleged in the Borah
indictment is one of the biggest in the
history of land piracy in the United
States.
It is charged that by a conspiracy the
defendants secured 40, 900 acres of valu-
able timber land for the Barber Lum-
Der The LAND concerned is
located i'm BoiSe county, and the means
by which the fraud was alleged to have
been contaminated is a fraudulent en-
try. The land involved is valued at
81, 600, 900.
The defendants will have separate
trials, and the first, that of Senator
Borah. is set for September %, as al
ready announced. Borah will be repre-
sented by James II. Hawley. who was
associated with him in the Haywood
case.
