Conjurers.

Who was the first conjurer? Mr..
Henry Ridgely Evans. the erudite and
ingenious author of THE Old and the
New Magic" tells Of one Tchatcha -em-
ankh. who gave show by command OF
King Khufu (3166 r. CO.. and who
seems to have performed with success
the decapitation trick. and. further, to
have been something Of beast-tamer
as well as an illusionist. Probably.
however. the art in more or less
primitive form fiourished in yet re-
moter ages. and the question of how
much more remote seems to open 4
vista to the curious inquirer. Perhaps
Mr.. Andrew Lang can tell.
OF modern conjurers. Robert Houdin
is generally taken to be the ancestor;
but he himself would hardly have
claimed the title. He derived. in fact,
from Pinetti, to go no further back,

Cleveland, at meeting Of the house

reply. General Grosvenor will inter-
feM whenever he wants to. Take

Grosvenor replied calmly.
The controversy arose thru Elliott's
attempt to read to the committee mach
testimony concerning the case Of the ].
hamilton Lewis, sealing vessel, which
was finally settled before The Hague
tribunal. Members Of the COMMITTEES
ATTEMPTED to explain to Elliott that the
documents he was reading were OF no

their Interruptions and attacked the
members Of the committee with 9
vehemence which afforded much
amusement to the committee and

Presidents Attention Called 10 Fact
That New Orleans is sol Miles
Nearer Colon Than New fork-ship
Subsidy Bill Favored, But in Differs
ent Form.

New Orleans, Jan. 2s.-Albert God
chaux. president OF the New Orleans
Progressive Union, today sent a
lengthy telegram to President Roose-
welt, urging the claims Of Louisiana,
Mississippi valley and the central west.
in the reorganization of Isthmian canal
affairs The presidents attention was
called to the fact that New orleans is
59A miles nearer Colon than New York.
that the entire Missouri, Ohio and Mis-
sissippi valleys of the central west
would be benefited by having some
Isthmian ships sail from New Orleans.
Godchaux says that the union favors
the presidents ship subsidy bill, but
not in its present form, because it
eliminates the gulf ports from a line
to the east coast of South America.
The telegram adds: "Our position is
endorsed by boards Of trade and busi-
ness mems organizations in st. Louis.

BIG QUESTION RAISED
Trial in New York Will Decide
Whether United States Soldier Has
Right to Murder Outside Govern
ment Grounds.

Pittsburg, Jan 2S.--A murder trial,
the outcome of which will establish an
important precedent in legal and mill
tary circles, was called here today.
Lieut. Ralph w. Drury and Private
John Dowd, of the Ninth United States
infantry, were placed on trial, charged
with the murder OF William Crowley.
IS years of age, who In September,
1903, was killed near the United States
arsenal by Dowd, acting under instrsic-
tions from Drury. Crowley and num-
Der of other boys are said to have been
caught stealing inside the arsenal
grounds and were pursued by soldiers.
Crowley was shot after he had gotten
considerable distance outside the arsen-
al limits. The question at issue Is:
Has the United States soldier authority
to kill a man outside the government
property who is suspected of a crime
within the government property? Ever
since the killing the Crowley case has
been discussed by legal and military
experts all over the country.

FAKE FAMINE STORIES WORRY.
Congressman Marshall Will Answer
Sensational Canards Of East.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Within the
past two weeks many exaggerated
stories have been published in eastern
papers regarding car shortage condi-
tions in North Dakota, with the result
that the eastern section of the country
is beginning to think that the trouble
is due in. part to poverty on the part of
the people.
Representative Marshall has taken
this question up and will issue a state
ment showing that North Dakota has
never been so prosperous as at present.
and that prosperity has something to
do with the present trouble. The peo-
pie never had SO much to ship out Of
the state before, or so much to ship in.
They have plenty of money, and the
present trouble is due entirely to the
inability of the railways to afford the
necessary transportation.
Mr.. Marshall admits that there has
been some suffering and that there will
be more unless relief comes. But he
denies all tales about snowdrifts
seventy feet high. about people freez-
ing and starving to death by the score,
and various other sensational state
ments,

that locality to such point as to make
the business improbable to such i
competitor, while prices were maintain
ed In other localities.
The report severely arraigns the
Standards methods of competition. On
this point it says in part:
"The Standard has repeatedly, after
becoming the owner OF competing
company, continued to operate under
the old name, carrying the idea to the
public that the company was stlll IN
dependent and competing with the
Standard. II has used such purchased
or Independently organized companies
to kill Off competitors by such COM
panies reducing prices. The operation
of such fake independent concerns has
been one of ITS most effective means OF
destroying competition. The Standard
has habitually reduced the price
against its competitor in particular
locality, while maintaining its prices at
other places. When competition was
destroyed 1t advanced or restored for
mer prices. The Standard has sold diff
ferent grades Of oil at different prices
from the same barrel 1t has paid en-
ployes of Independent oil companies for
information as to the business of those
competitors and has paid employees OF
industrial companies to secure the
adoption of it's oil in preference to that
of it's competitors. 1t has followed every
barrel of independent oil to destination.
It's agents are instructed to secure GUS
toners at any sacrifice. 1t has tamp-
cred with the oil inspectors In different
states. The laws of several states con-
cerning the inspection of oil are singu-
larly defective and this has been turn
ed to profit by the Standard"

These reports will amend the recon-
mendations OF the board Of control rel
ative to appropriations. The board OF

intendents down about so per cent, or
to $945.000; the legislative visiting
committees will pare this about 40 per
cent. and the appropriations commit
tees will do the rest.

conference at the white hpuAs last
night 1t was officially amcssnced that
the contract Tor building the Panama
canal would be awarded to William ].
OLIVER, who with Anson NJ. Bangs was
the lowest bidder in the recent COM
petition, provided that within the next
ten days he associates himself with at
least two independent contractors
whose skill and experience, combined
with his own, shall cover the entire
field of the work to be performed un-
der the contract.
The official announcement confirms
the Associated Press statement Of FRI
day. President Roosevelt then took
the position that since Mr.. Oliver had
met all the requirements of the gOv-
ernment 1t would be unjust to reject
his bid! Of CTS per cent, or even to
require him to submit new bid.
Powerful influences were brought to
bear on the president and Secretary
Taft to reject all bids and advertise for
new proposals, but the president In
sisted that Mr.. Oliver should be given
a reasonable time in which to make a
satisfactory arrangement to substitutes
some other contractor or group Of COM
tractors for Anson M. Bangs OF New
York. At the white house conferences
on Saturday night the friend Of the;
McArthur-G gillespie syndicate argued
that the contract figure should be In
creased to 9 per cent and that the con-
tract be awarded to Oliver, Macarthur
& Gillespie This suggestion, however.
did not meet the approval Of the New
York firm, who insisted that they
could not undertake the work for less
than 1875 per cent Of the total cost, the
figure mentioned in their original bid.
1t was then decided to award the con-
tract to Mr.. oliver, provided he could
make satisfactory arrangements with
at least two other financially RESPONSE
BILE contractors.
