Horses Commit Suicide.

Buffalo, Wyo-One of the worst hail
storm in the history of Johnson county
has just been experienced here, doing
damage aggregating several thousand
dollars.
In the city every garden was de
stroyed and all windows. unprotected,
on the north side of buildings, were
destroyed.
The storm came from the northwest
and completely devastated stretch of
country three miles wide. Many ranch
men along the streams lost their en-
tire crops AMI numerous houses and
barns will have to be reshingled, the
roofs being almost hammered of b.
the great hailstones. At the Ben Bebb
ranch horse was driven crazy by the
storm and committed suicide. The
storm swept in a southeasterly direc-
tion, destroying everything until it
-eached the foothills.

ENORMOUS FINE
STANDARD OIL COMPANY GETS
THE LIMIT IN COURT.
MUST PAY 2s,24o, 900 FINE
Heaviest Ever Assessed Against Any
individual or Corporation In the
History Of America.

Chlcago.-Judge Kenesaw NJ Ian
dis in the United States District Court
fined the Standard Oil Company of In

law against accepting rebates from
railroads.
The fine is the largest ever assessed
against any individual or corporation
in the history OF American jurisprud.
ence. and is slightly more than 131
times as great as the amount received
by the company through its rebating
operations. The case will be carried
to the higher courts by the defendant
| company
The penalty imposed upon the COM
pany is the maximum permitted under
| the law, and was announced at the end
| Of a long opinion, in which the meth
| DDS and practices of the Standard
OIL Company were mercilessly scored.
The judge, in fact, declared that the
officials of the Standard Oil Company
who were responsible for the prac-
tices of which the corporation was
found guilty were no better than
counterfeiters and thieves, his exact
language being:
I'VE may as well look at his situa-
tion squarely. The men who thus de-
| liberately violate this law wound so
ciety more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
| from the mail. The nominal defend
ant is the Standard OIL Company OF
Indiana, a 81 900, 900 corporation.
THE Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, whose capital is $100.000,000
is the real defendant. This is for the
reason that il body of men organ
lie large corporation under the laws
of one state for the purpose of carry
| ing on business throughout the United
| States, and for the accomplishment of
| that purpose absorb the stock of other
| corporations, such corporations SO
| absorbed have thenceforward but a
| nominal existence.
They cannot initiate or execute any
| inherent business policy, their elimi
| nation in this respect being a prime
| consideration for their absorption. Sc
| when, after this process has taken
| place, crime is committed in the
name of such smaller corporation, the
| law will not consider that the larger
corporation is the real offender.
And where the only possible mo-
| tive of the crime is the enhancement
of dividends. and the only punishment
authorized is a fine. great caution
| must be exercised by the court lest
the fixing of a small amount encourage
the defendant to further violations by
esteeming the penalty to be in the ma
ture of license"

vert beneath the railroad track and
was in an advanced state of decompo-
sition.

BELIEVES GIRL WAS MURDERED.
Chicago Man Claims to Have Proof
That Girl Did Not Suicide.

Chicngo.-Charles A. Coey. wealthy
automobile dealer. has made the sen
sation declaration that he had the writ
etn statement of woman who saw
Miss Laura Mathews, whose mysteri-
Gus death At Colorado Springs brought
much notoriety to Coey, on the day OF
her death. The woman asserted posi-
lively that Miss Mathews did not com
nit suicide.
This woman says she knows Miss
Mathewes did not take her own life"
said Coey today on his return from
Kansas City with Miss Tillie Green,
Miss Mathews nurse.
They attended the funeral OF the
beautiful woman, whose death. to-
gether with the suicide of Amos r.
Rumbaugh, was the sensation of the
country.
So certain was Coey that Miss Math-
ews did not commit suicide that, after
reading the statement, he made n pos
tive announcement that he would 90
to Colorado Immediately after return
Ing from business trip east. He also
announced that he would call on the
states attorney in the Colorado resort
to look up the coroner's inquest in
search of any possible mistake. Al
though Coey today was willing to give
extracts from the mysterious letter, he
was unwilling to reveal the identity OF
the writer.
"She is too well known in Chicago"
said he. "She was at the resort for
her health, and under no condition
would tell who she Is"

Japan and Uncle Sam Are Friends.

Washington.-Japan and the United
States propose to demonstrate to each
other and to the world their mutual
desire to maintain close and friendly
relations
The demonstration is to take the
form of negotiations for the removal
of all differences which have arisen be-
tween them. AS a result of investiga-
tions into Asiatic immigration condi-
tions which Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Strauss and the Japanese
commission are making the two gov
ernments will be in a position to APP
proach the settlement of the grave ex-
clusion question with a better appre-
citation of each others necessities and
eElbarrassments.
The Japanese ambassador. Viscount
Aoki. has given the administration to
understand that his government is op.
posed to pelagic sealing which means
1t does not countenalce in any way
the poaching operations of Japanese
sealers, nor will 1t tolerate a like op-
GRAFTON in Japanese waters by Ameri-
can sealers.
Beyond these two matters there are
no differences of any material conse-
quence to be adjusted.
The question which is most difficult
of settlement is that of immigration
Although a delegation of business men
from California came to Washington
to urge the President to take action
toward lowering the bars against
Asiatic immigration, there is no doubt
such action is impossible at the pres
ent time.
Eventually, in the judgment of the
President. all the immigration re
strictions will be removed. AS he
pointed out in conversation with the
Japanese. fifty years ago the latter re
fused to admit Americans into theii
country. Today Americans refuse tC
admit Japanese into this country. Fift,
years hence Japanese will not care tc
come to this country.

All the diamond-bearing area has

The Arkansas diamonds have been
found on one tract In a volcanic form

similar to that of the famous Kimber-

New York.-Chain coats of mail

city's reign of terror.
Three cold-blooded and dramatic
murders In the center of the city In

the safety of human life is concerned
New York is really on a par with the
widest mining camp of fiction and as
regards organized murder and terror
ism by blackmailing societies. closely
akin to conditions prevailing in the
middle ages.
The astonishing pass to which things
have come is instanced by the lack of
notice accorded to any but the most
dramatic crimes. Four days after a
doctor was strangled to death on a
populous street the matter had been
forgotten and the depredations of the
Black Hand society to whose hand at
least one murder a week has been laid
for months, only became worthy of no
tice when eliminating in the blowing
up of a tenement house containing 200
persons.
