The young fellows who offered their

them with poisoned ratlons.

The soldiers trusted their country

The result was death, disease, broken

These are facts which the war rec

TO PROBE PACKET MONOPOLY
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
Take Up Shippers Charges.


Washington, June 21.-The inter-
state commerce commission Wednes-
day decided to institute proceeding
of inquiry and investigation into the
affairs of the Hamburg American
Packet company, which is charged by
Peter Wright & Sons, general agents
at Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan
Shipping company and the Cosmopoli-
tan lines, with pooling and maintain
ing monopolies in restraint Of trade.
The inquiry is expected to be one of
the most stupendods ever undertaken
and of a character different from any,
that ever before has engaged the ali
tention of the commission
According to the complaint OF
which action was taken by the com.
mission the Hamburg American com.
pany has built up complete monopo-
ly of the eastbound traffic originating
in Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha, Minneapolis, Duluth, Cleve-
land and other manufacturing centers
intended for interior points or places
on the continent of Europe.

No sooner had Tom realized what was
taking place below than he threw up
the bedroom window. 1t overlooked a
small and filthy back yard, into which
Tom quietly dropped while the pair
were still struggling on the stairs. To

Faces stopped ana turned upon the
pavements. He knew the folly of 1t,
and yet ran on with fend in either
heel.
Bank, bank! Ere you are, sir,
ere you are!'.
Tom was almost up to the omnibus
before he realized that this was meant
for him. Instinctively he waved and
nodded, and his mad pace was ex-
planned. The omnibus stopped; he
jumped in, gasping.
Thought you was after me-" said
the cad, with grin.
Tom had no breath to reply. A ru-
bicund old gentleman made a we'll

a corner, the perspiration triokling

the needlesaless as well as the indis-
erection of conspicuous flight. He had
slipped through the only hands that
were as vet against him. He had
eluded the only eyes he need avoid that
night, for the hackney coachman might
take his new tale straight to Scotland
Yard, but 1t could hardly be given to
the world before morning.
Toms heart leaped as he discovered
the temporary strength of his position.
Next moment 1t sank, for the cad was
collecting the fares, and his single as
set was the watch. His bankrupt state
had occurred to Tom as he ran for the
omnibus but not again. 1t was so
small athing compared with the charge
now lying at his door. Yet he had just
thought of it-his little fraud was so
| far deliberate-but he had neither the
face nor the foolhardiness to sit there
and confess his fault. And, situated

Portland, Ore, June 24-Seeking to
cancel six coal land claims in Lewis
county, Wash, 40 miles east of
Chehalis, patented to Portland men,
the government filed suit in the
United States circuit court at Tacoma
charging that the patents were OBJ

they, believing said lands to contain
large and valuable deposits of coal,

to make filing thereon
