HARTMAN is HARMLESS.
Interstate Commerce Commission So
Decides.

Boston, May IA morning paper
prints a report from Washington to
the effect that Chairman Knapp has
informed President Roosevelt that the
findings of the interstate commerce
commission when completed will
completely exonerate E. H. Hartman.
Chairman Knapp is reported, accord
ing to the dispatch, to have told the
president that while the commission
found Hartman guilty of many very
wicked practices he has evidently
protected himself at every point, and
has probably violated no law.
This finding Is exactly contrary to
the recommendations of Attorneys
Kellogg and Severance, and upon
which it was supposed the action of
the commission would be based.
1t has not been decided, the dis
patch says, whether the report will
be made public at once or be hel
until fall.

TEXAS hit BY NEW CYCLONE
Crops Are Badly Damaged and Loss
Will Run Up Into Thousands.

Houston, Tex.-This afternoon about
4 o'clock a cyclonic wind, a half-mile
wide, swept the country south OF Hous-
ton, on the border of Galveston and
Harrison counties. Crops are damaged,
houses are blown down and all the wires
are on the ground. 1t is impossible to
get details.
The rain was very heavy. Two and
a quarter inches of rain fell in Houston,
and the wind at the time of the cyclone
made sudden changes in direction. The
report of the storm was not received
until late. When it was possible to get
wire communication tonight with AL
vim, League City, Dickerson and other
small places on the coast tonight they
reported that the storm had leveled the
fruit crops in all directions. 1t came
from the north, twisting as is usual
with eyclonic storms.
The houses are all frame, and instead
of destroying them, as would have been
had they been brick, they we're blown
V and it is not believed many lives
were lost. The loss in money value
will be up into many thousands, as the
vegetable and fruit crops are just ready
for shipment.

ALL SALOONS MUST CLOSE
Is Construction Placed on the Texas
Liquor Law.

Houston, Tex.-State Attorney-Gen'
eral Davidson holds that when the
liquor regulating law passed by the re-
cent legislature becomes effective July
|, it revokes every liquor license in the
State. As it will require twenty days
under the new law to procure a license,
the encouragement holes that every
saloon and wholesale dealer will be
forced to close until the license has
been issued.
The ruling has created CONSERVATION
among saloon men, and the prospects
of absolute prohibition in the State for
twenty days has struck surprise every
where. 1t is believed the saloon men
will make a contest of the proposition,
as it means almost a confiscation of the
license money heretofore paid. The
general attorney of the wholesale Liquor
dealers is looking for a way to attack
the ruling Of the attOrney-general.

NO JURY At BOISE, IDAHO
LITTLE HOPE OF OBTAINING RE
UiRED QUOTA SOON.
TALESMEN CLOSELY QUESTIONED
Only F%orty-Four of New Special We
nire Remain and There Are Eight
Peremptory Challenges.

Boise, Idaho, May 24.-Out of the
GO talesmen summoned under the new
venire, "A await examination for quail
ification as jurymen when court opens
Friday morning for the eleventh day
of the trial of William ID. Haywood,
charged with the murder OF former
Gov. Frank Steunenberg.
Henry Curtis, the tenth talesman
called Thursday afternoon to stand
test, was the first of the new venire
to make anything like a stand under
the questioning of the prosecution.
Just before adjournment of court for
the day he was passed by the state
for cause, after a clio e examination,
which developed the fact that he was
at one time a member of the railroad
mems union and that he had closely
investigated the question Of socialism.
Discuss Socialism.
In answer to questions by the state
things about socialism that appealed
to him, but that taken altogether, he
whole question seemed to be lin a
haze" and not quite applicable to he
age in which he lived.
Curtis is the first of the talesmen
under examination who has shown
that he has any real conception of So
cialism, and, in view Of the extent
into which the defense has gone in
the examination of talesmen as to
their views on the question, the result
of the examination of Curtis by the
defense is likely to be interesting.
With eight peremptory challenges
yet to come and two talesmen to quail
ify, including Curtis in chair nin
and Whitlock in the sixth chair, the
chances for a jury out or n "A re
naming talesmen is not encouraging.
1t is a fact, however, that the ex-
aminations to come are expected to
developed a number Of ranchers FROM
outlying districts who have not been
reading as closely on the case as
many of those examined Thursday aft
ernoon, and this, it is thought, will
hold out a prospect for a jury by Sat
urday night.

MILITARY EXPERT MUDDLED
Over Difference Between Springfield
and Krag-Jorgensen Bullets.

Washington.-Capt. Hanson Ely, OF
the T~wenty-sixth Infantry, who quail
fed before the PenroSe courtmartial as
an expert in United States army rifles
and ammunition, testified today before
the senate committee which is investi-
eating the Brownsville affray. He gave
it as his opinion that rifles could be
cleaned in a minute or two and that
darkness made no difference. He en-
phasized his statement by saying:
''You could clean the guns with your
eyes shut" He said that such a clean
ing would be sufficient to pass IN Ordin-
airy inspection.
After testifying that there was a
marked difference between the Krag
bullet and the Springfield bullet, Capt.
Ely was shown one of each and the wit
ness picked the Krag bullet when
asked to designate the Springfield.

Cantonians paid their tribute N the

any funeral decorations in the city or
any general municipal participation in

CAN GUST THE OIL TRUST
MISSOURI ATTORNEY GENERAL
WINS STANDARD OIL FIGHT.
THEY VIOLATED ANTITRUST LAW
inds of Law and Fact, Sustain Con
tention That Combination Exi-t-
ed In Restraint Of Trade.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 24.-Sweep-
law are pointed out by Special Com
missioner Anthony in his report to the
supreme court Friday on the suits In
stituted by Attorney General Hadley
to drive the Standard, Republic and
Waters Pierce Co. out OF Missouri.
These three companies, forming a
triple combination under the leader
ship of the billion-dollar Standard OIL
Co., have, according to Commissioners
Anthony, unlawfully monopolized the
oil trade of this state since 1901.
The commissioner designates heir
operations as "a conspiracy formed
to control prices and throttle COM
petition" 1t is pointed out that the
supreme court under the law and the
evidence adduced by the commission
er, has the power to cancel the char
ter of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.. n
revoke the licenses granted to the
Standard and Republic Oil companies,
which are incorporated outside OF
Missouri.
In addition to this statement, which
amounts practically to a recommends
ton to the court, the commissioner
draws the inference that heavy fines
should be imposed on the three com
panies for repeated and wilful viola
tons of the Missouri statutes.
Attorney General Hadley's speciica-
lions of outlawry against the oil trust
as set forth in his original petition
filed a year and a half ago. are sus-
tanned in every detail.
Penalties Possible Under the Law.
Under the state antitrust law the
offending oil companies may be finet
$1,000 for each violation of the law.
AS they are alleged to have been
guilty of violations for a period OF
six years, the attorney generals office
would not be surprised If the aggre-
gate penalty against the three COM
panies amounted to half a million dol
lars. Fines thus imposed would be
turned into the state event fund.
Neither on this point nor on the
question of taking away the franchises
of the Standard, Republic and Water
Pierce companies did the commission
er make any specific recommendation
to the court.
If the court, however, should sus-
tain his findings, these penalties, it
is believed, would follow as a matter
Of course.
Effect of Decision in Missouri.
The report of Commissioner An
thony, if confirmed by the supreme
court, will result in the forfeiture OF
the charter of the Waters-Pierce Oil
Co.. incorporated under the laws Of
the state of Missouri.
1t will annul the licenses Of the
Standard Oil Co. and the Republic
Oil Co.. both foreign corporations, to
transact business in the state Of Mis-
souri,.
1t will open to unhampered competi-
ton the trade in petroleum and its
products in the state.
In so far as Commissioner An
thongs report is effective, it is a
sweep ping triumph for Attorney Gen
