CASE OF THE ALTON.
Special Dispatch to The Star. :

Special Dispatch to The Star. s'..
CHICAGO, H., August 22.-District At
torney. Sims, accompanied by his special
assistant, James II. Wilkerson, returned
from Washington yesterday, where he was
in conference with the Attorney General
on the Chicago and Alton immunity bath
case. What transpired at this conference
neither official would say save in the most
general way.
I'VE submitted the record of the Standard
Oil trial." said Mr.. Sims. Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte made no comment to US,
and even had he done SO it would be highly
improper for me to repeat it. l understand
he held conference with representatives
from the Alton on the day following
1t is generally understood that whatever
course is decided on by the Attorney Cen
eral VIII have the Endorsement Of President
Roosevelt. 1t Is probable Mr.. Bonaparte
will have conference with the President
before making his decision, as the question
involved is one OF greatest importance to
the administration.
The final word on the subject from the
governments standpoint will be said here
September 3, when the grand jury sum-
recess granted it. District Attorney Sims
will be informed of the attitude taken by
the Attorney General. and it will be his
duty to convey this information to Judge
Landis
While there is a chance that there is suf-
ficient evidence now in the hands of Attor-
ney General Bonaparte to warrant his re-
pudfation of the agreement on which the
that the Chicago and Alton will get thu
immunity promised for its aid in prosecut-
ing the Standard Oil Company. The belief
is based on the fact that the United States
unless proof Of the pretext therefor is alb
solute.

released 1t Is possible that she may have
been f1oated at high water this morning,
ard no news of it has reached this city, as
the point at which she stranded is fifteen
or more miles from the nearest telephone

their children's children, seek in
every way, but especially in the con-
duct of their lives, to insist upon and
to build up respect for the law. 1t
may not be true from the standpoint
of some particular individual of this
class, but in the long run it is pre-
eminently true from the standpoint
of the class as a whole, no less than
Of the country as a whole, that it is a
veritable calamity to achieve a tenn
porary triumph by violation or eva
sion of the law; and we are the best
friends of the man of property, we
show ourselves the staunchest up
holders of the rights of property,
when We set our faces like flint
against those offenders who do wrong
in order to acquire great wealth or
who uses the wealth as a help to
wrongdoing.
Wrongdoing is confined to no class
Good and evil are to be found among
both rich and poor, and in drawing
the line among our fellows, we must
draw 1t on conduct and not on world
ly possessions. In the abstract most
of us will admit this. In the concrete
we can act upon such doctrine only
if we really have knowledge of and
sympathy with one another. If both
the wage-worker and the capitalist
are able to enter each into the others
life, to meet him so as to get into
genuine sympathy with him, most of
the misunderstanding between them
will disappear and its place will be
taken by judgment broader, juster,
more kindly, and more generous; for
each will find in the other the same
essential human attributes that exist
in himself. 1t was President McKin
ley's peculiar glory that in actual
practice he realized this as it is given
TO but few men to realize it; that his
broad and deep sympathies made him
feel a genuine sense of oneness with
all his fellow-Americans, whatever
their station or work in life, so that
to his soul they were all joined with
him in great brotherly democracy
of the spirit. 1t is not giAen to many
OF us in our lives actually to realize
this attitude to the extent that he
did; but We can at least have it be-
fore us as the goal of our endeavor,
and by so doing we shall pay honor
better than in any other way to the
memory of the dead president whose
services in life we this day commem-
crate.

lions of transit.
In general appearance the tube ia
similar In appearance to an ordinary
city subway, being perfectly dry, well
lighted and equipped with heavy rails
and modern signal system. The cars
are of the regulation type, operated by
trolley poles. The atmosphere is from
10 to Is degrees cooler than on tho
surface of the street. AS the car near.
ly fills the tube it acts as n piston,
pushing the air out in front and draw
ing fresh supply after 1t.
At a luncheon served to Mr.. Bel
mont's guests Nj. j. Degnon, the build
er. said the entire work on this first
tube had been done since July II. 1905,
and that 1t was n worlds record for
this kind OF work. Mr.. Belmont made
answer to the public clamor against
his company, saying that it had re-
ceived nothing but abuse and that this
treatment was not such as to inspire
further effort on the part of private
enterprise. He said they could split
the present combination into its COM
ponent parts, but that without private
enterprise they would not have any adj
dItional service for the city.
Now $1,000 In Shoe Strike.
The general executive board Of the
Independent Boot and Shoe Workers
union of Missouri has extended the
strike begun by the cutters of St Louis
SO MS to include over $4,000 members
of the allied trades. Demands were
made for nine hour day instead of a
ten hour one and the same scale of
wages as now In force. Many of the
allied trades had already gone out in
sympathy with the cutters. Ali but
four plants in st. Louis were effectual-
ly shut down by the strike, and these
worked under an agreement with the
union.
Alcohol For Explosive Engines.
Experiments conducted at Columbia
university and in the department of
agriculture now demonstrate that al
cohol can be used as fuel in internal
combustion engines with the same de-
gree of success as gasoline and kero-
sene fuels. Professor Lucke, in charge
of the experiments, says that any gas
oline engine of the ordinary type can
be run on alcohol without material
change in construction, and Its opera
ton viii be more noiseless and its
maximum power materially higher.
For automobile air cooled engines al
cohol is especially adapted.

docs it pay the farmer to raise
his own hOrses?" Mr.. Greenwalt
thinks it does, that it doesn't take
long for colt to mature, and if he
shouldn't prove just what you want

Smith finds raising colts a paying
business, especially at the present
prices and thought colts were as easy

Mr.. Carson says he never takes any
chances with a kicking COW, he ties
rope around their body in front of

their back and draws it up tight.
Mr.. Lowell said that good way was
to tie their hind legs together with

it between the legs like a figure

they had not benefited by going there
Mr.. Carson thinks a boy should go
right from the eighth grade to the
M. A. c., that high school course
tends to educate them away from the
farm. Mr.. Reynolds, Of Maple River,
says that the M. A. c. is not to
blame If its students do not make the
most of their Opportunities, they
have only themselves to blame. a. Mr..
Shepard, of Burton, Is of the same
opinion.
The subject of a public market
for Owosso was discussed. All
thought our city too small for one.
That it did not take only one load of
potatoes or other produce to glut the
market some days and peddling was
a necessity.
We missed the children from our
