OLD BOAT FINALLY DONE FOR
sioux City's steamer Josephine Made
Hard Fight, but Lost the
Battle.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Aug. A-(Special) y
The steamer Josephine, which has been
doing an excursion business out of Sioux
City. has been condemned by Inspectors
Gordor and Mcdonald, who came from St.
Louis to examine the boat. The boat was
purchased from the government by Captain
Learch a Missouri river veteran, and now
the government has condemned the craft.
It was put on the market few months
ago. The condemnation is the climax OF
series of misfortunes which attended the
captains possession OF the boat. After
purchasing the same he expended consider
able money in putting it into shape and
started to make its trips out of Sioux
City. First, the citizens complained
OF the noise of the whistle and
threatened to secure an injunction, Then
the government took a hand and compelled
the captain to equip the boat with life
preservers for every possible passenger
Then the owners of Riverside park refused
to let him make any landing at the park
because II would cut into the business of
the Sioux City Traction company. Then
the Sioux City Trades and Labor assembly
nut the boat on the unfair list because the
CAPTAIN discharged a union musician and
replaced him with a nonunion man. When
the boat started on excursion trips up the
Sioux river a howl went up from mem
hers of the boat clubs against the Jose
Saine stirring up the quiet waters OF the
SIOUX river and making II unfit for boating
and canoeing. His long list OF misfortunes
had hardened the old captain so the con-
demnation OF the boat was not so much or
a shock as It might have been under other
circumstances.

Department Made Deal to Secure Evil

INVESTIGATION Is POSTPONED
Special Grand Jury is Excused Until
First Week in September.
TRANSCRIPT GOES TO BoNAPARTE

CHICAGO, Aug. N.-Judge Lands to-
day postponed until September 8, the grand
jury investigation of the charges OF re-
batting against the Chicago & Alton rail-
road growing out OF the recent trial which
resulted in the conviction of the Standard
Oil company OF Indiana. II was the original
intention to commence the investigation
August q. but Judge Lands said that he
had received a notification from Attorney
General Bonaparte that the Chicago &
Alton had been promised immunity, and
the Judge ordered the adjournment in order
that the records of the case might be
looked into.
Courts Remarks on Imunity.
2 In addressing the grand jury Judge
Lands said:
l have a communication from the attor-
ney general of the United States. the sub
stance of which is that prior to the indict-
ment of the Standard OIL company the then
United States district attorney made an
arrangement with the officials of the Chi
cago & Alton railroad under which it was
not TO be proceeded against provided 1t
would assist the prosecution in good faith
with evidence and witnesses in the matter
then pending. In view of this II is the
conviction of the attorney general that
good faith requires the Department of Jus
tice to do what 1t can to make good the
sents very grave question, because 1t Is
of the utmost importance that no offender
should undeservedly escape punishment for
crime on any such plea, as we'll as that
even the criminal may not truthfully
charge the government of the United
States with bad faith.
VIII Investigate Agreement.
What this arrangement was the court
does not know but assumes ut possibly
may have provided that the Chicago &
Alton company should emancipate those
who act and speak for 1t from all obli-
gation to deceive and mslead the jury
on the trial lately closed. If this be true
whatever officer ,of the Department of JUS
tice is charged WITH the task of determin-
ing what shall be the departments atti-
tude must carefully consider the transcript
OF the testimony of these railway agents
lin order that he may intelligsntly decide
whether the Chicago & Alton road is en-
titled to immunity.
Whether the grand jury acts In this mat
ter will depend entirely upon the conclu-
si0ns this official may reach. The Jury ls
therefore at liberty to take a recess until
September s.
A transcript of the record IN the Stand
ard OIL case will be sent to Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte for examination and II he
concludes that the railroad fulfilled its
promise in the Standard OIL case. the grand
jury will not investigate further.

The strike OF the telegraph operators has
increased the traffic on the long distance
lines of the Nebraska Telephone company
in and out Of Omaha 100 per cent.
This is the statement made by II. ].
Ryner, local manager. The increase, how
ever, was not as great as was anticipated
when preparations were made with tho
first news of the strike for handling
much greater business over the telephones.
Telephone rates are considerably higher
than telegraph, but If one can talk fast
enough and put enough words into the al
lotted three minutes there is but little DIFF
ference.
