CHINESE FAMINE TERRIBLE.
Ten Million Persons Are Said to Be
In Need of Food in the
Empire,

kilograms received at Shanghai
from 20 points in the famine district
report that the conditions are grow
ing worse. The Chinese government
and people up to date have contributed
over 100000 for famine relief. and
the sums received from all foreign
sources total half million dollars,
including the supplies on their way
from America.
The Chinese viceroy and governor
telegraphed to the American consul,
Mr.. Rodgers, their thanks for the re-
lief sent, saying that it is dissipating
the antiforeign sentiment which ami
mated the masses. There are so mis-
sionaries with the higher class of
Chinese engaged in overseeing the re-
lief distribution.
Confucianists, Catholics and Protes-
tants are working together. The tele-
graph officials are carrying free all
messages to and from the relief works
and the steamship companies are fur
nishing free transportation for sup
plies of food, etc, for the suffer
ers. Twenty thousand of the famine
sufferers are employed in building
dams and canals to prevent a reoccur-
renee of the floods.
The relief committee here is prompt
ly sending supplies to the front, but
the funds are not yet in it's posses
sion, Measures adopted up to date are
inadequate.
Ten million persons are suffering
from lack of food and facing starva-
ton. The members of the committee

dead in their houses and corpses are
seen lying by the roadside. Probably
5000 persons are dying daily from
starvation.
A few cases of rioting for food
have occurred and cannibalism is be-
ginning to be reported. Graves have
been rifled of the bodies and parents
are exchanging their children to be
eaten. A dollar, the relief committee
reports, will save one life until the
harvest, June rs, and $10000,000 is
needed. The whole amount cannot be
raised in China. The situation is des-
perate and Americans are urged to
give 100000 in the next three weeks,
not for Christian, but for humanitarian
work. 1t is suggested that it would
be best to cable money to the consul
here, James Linn Rodgers, as supplies
can be purchased in Shanghai.

POOR STANDARD OIL
FOUND GUILTY In INDIANA On
1863 COUNTS.
Company Has Been on Trial for Last
Six Weeks on Charge of Having Re-

Lands in the United States district
court on a charge of having received
rebates from the Chicago & Alton on
shipments from Whiting, Ind, to East
ST Louis, ILL.,, was found guilty on
1853 counts of the original 1903 in the
indictment. The remaining 440 counts
were dropped from the indictment on
account of errors. If the verdict is
sustained the oil company is liable to
a fine of $29 100000, as the Elkins
law, which the Indictment charged the
company with having violated, pro.

a new trial. which John S. Miller,
counsel for the defendant, announced
would be made Immediately, no ac-

ward collecting the fine.
shipment of 1903 cars of oil over the
Chicago Terminal Transfer and the
Chicago and Alton railways from Whit
ing, Ind, to East st. Louis, Ill, by
way of Chappell, H., the oil company
accepted a rate of cents for 100
pounds, when the published rate was
Is cents. Early in the trial attorneys
for the defense endeavored to have all
the counts in the indictments thrown
out on technicalities, but the court or
deTed that each count be considered
separately, which was done.
The jury was out less than three
hours and reached the verdict on the
first ballot.
The courts charge left the jury a
discretion as to how many of the
counts it might find the company to
have been guilty. A motion by its at
torneys to limit the number of offenses
to one will be argued next week by
agreement. The company's lawyers
contend that but one crime, if any, was
committed, and the multiplicity of
counts amounts to persecution. They
declare the corporation will be ruined
if the prosecution prOcures any such
Interpretation of the law. Judge Ian.
dis agreed to permit the jury to find
verdict this week so that its vigil
of six tiresome weeks might end. He
will rule as to the number of offenses
next week.
If he limits the offenses to but one
crime there can be no greater fine
than 100000 and possibly the defend
ant might escape with a fine of $1,000
The ruling will be most important
in federal jurisdiction. 1t will deter
mine whether or not the federal laws
against railroad discrimination are en-
fcrceable.

SLUMP HAS NOT HURT MARKET
Railway Securities Have shrunk 3d.
o97 100000, but Demand Is Firm


That railway securities have shrunk
S2,097, 10000 in 68 days past is given
on the authority of the Railroad Ga
zetee This does not include the
shrinkage in bonds, which would add
materially to the total losses in mar
ket values in railroad securities.
Accepting this statement as approx
imately correct, and few question the
accuracy of the Railroad Gazette,
American people may find ground for
congratulation in the amazing fact
that, while this tremendous slump was
taking place, not a failure of note has
been recorded, in the United States;
and that not even on Wall street, dur

bears, was there failure worthy Of
notice.
