STANDARD UNFAIR TO AMERICA
Low Abroad, High Here Save
Where Rivals Set Price.

Washington. Aug. 13.-The Stand
ID OIL Company has sacrificed the
.:2terests of the American consumer
for the purpose OF securing foreign
business. according to Herbert Knox
Smith, Commissioner Of Corpora
tions. In report submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The report deals
with the Standards determination
In prices" ..............,.. .... .-.......
Another charge made by Commiss-
Toner Smith is that the Standard has
maintained high monopoly prices In
non-competitive communities. thus
making up losses in communities
where 1t had to meet or cut the
prices quoted by independent con-
Germs. Further, the Standard has
practically forced American rail-
roads, to pay eIorbitant prices for
lubricating oils. favoring some. roads
to the prejudice Of others. The pet

SUFFRAGE IN NEW ZEALAND.

Woman suffrage works wet in
New Zealand according to a letter
received from Str Joseph Ward, !te-
micr Of the country, which was road
at the meeting of the Massachusetts
Woman Suffrage association In Ios-
ton. Sir Joseph wrote: The ,.a-
men care for The vote ana use it. Ia
1898, when women were cnfranchis-
cd, S3 per cent, of them went to the
polls, while less than 20 per cent OF
the men voted. It appears, however,
that this awoke the men TO a sense
OF their duty and the percentage OF
male voters has consistently risen,
until at the last election approx
imately the same percentage of men
and women went to the polls. The
statement that the right to vote rem
ders a woman less attractive and
tompanlonable Is nonsense. 1t Is
useful to provide intelligent TOPICS
for men and women to talk about a.
part from their own private affairs.
1t enlarges their mental horizon.
A point that has especially struck
me in the behavior OF women in re-
lation to politics is the absence Of
wrangling and bitterness. Altogeth-
er. we take our politics more good
naturedly in New Zealand. The wo-
mans influence is felt in all legis-
latlon and 1t is a sane, healthy in1u-
ence. which makes for purity in poll
tics Woman suffrage was granted
by majority of only two votes.
Now 1t is doubtful if in the whole
house there would be two to oppose

EXPECTED IT, SAYS VI
New Emperor approves the DEGREES
Against Delegates That Went TO
The guc-Chargc Is That Prince
Pretended to he intrustcd With u
Government Mission.

Seoul, Corea, Aug. 1.-THE old
FnDeror's authorization of the
que delegation having been sue
ocssfully utilized by the japanese as
al excuse for his dethronement, his
denials of all responsibility have
now been given official Endorsement.
The new Emperor, who was fully
cognizant of every detail of the
Hague affair, approved the sentences
passed by the Supreme Court upon
The members of the deputation, who
are declared convicted by default.
Death by hanging Is the sentence
Imposed on Prince vi, the charge
being that he pretended to be an
official intrusted with a government
mission. For the others life i'm
prisonment is decreed as conteder-
ates of Prince VI.
The japanese, OF course, are re-
sponsible for this" Prince VI said.
81 do not blame them 80 much,
however, as l blame the traitorous
Coreans who have sold themselves
Il the japanese. The only effect Of
this action against me Will be TO
add energy and enthusiasm to the
work Of patriotic Coreans for their
country
Marquis Ito's departure for Toxic
revives the speculation as to whether
he will actively resume the Office of
Resident General. 1t is officially
stated that he will be absent from
Seoul but one month, during which
time the details of Corean admin
istration will be worked out with
the authorities of the Toxic govern
ment. While the Cabinet ministers
will be Coreans, the administration
Of departments will be in the hands
Of vice ministers, VINO will be Japan

Many Suspects Arrested.
But the police did not know all this
They raked In suspect after suspect,
but had to let them all go, as each
was able to establish an alibi. Then
the fiendish crime was repeated
William Friede, a Market street
clothing merchant, was slain under al
most exactly similar conditions. He
lowered on the border of life for al
most two weeks and was able to MUIR
muir once: "A large man and a small
man." before his spirit flickered out.
Siemsen related this deed as a par
ticularly good piece of craftsmanship.
1t seems that he and Dabner planned
the attempt carefully, and entered the
store when there were few people
about and the danger of interruption
appeared at a minimum. Dabner tried
on a coat and vest that he selected,
and Siemsen stood by, ostensibly to
offer his approval. AS the merchant
stopped to measure his supposed Gus
toner for the trousers Siemsen swung
the gas pipe, which he carried wrapped
in piece Of paper, and felled his vic
tim with a heavy blow.
Meanwhile an ex-convict was on
trial for a crime which Siemsen and
Dabner had committed-the highway
robbery of DR.. Il. B. Leland, former
The Spanish Fork press. [volume] (Spanish Fork, Utah) 1902-current, 1907-01-10

while Dabner rained blows upon 1t
with the fish-plate. One of these blows,
nervously aimed, cut open Siemsen's
finger But the jeweler fought like
wildcat, and before he could be dis
posed of his little daughter, Bessie,
rushed into the store from the rear,
followed by her mother, Siemsen and
Dabner darted from the place.
Siemsen got away, but Dabner was
knocked down and captured by VIII
Brown. fireman. A frenzied crowd
was produced, and the boy fiend
would surely have been lynched but
for the opportune arrival of squad
of police. who were scarcely able to
fight their way to the station with
their prisoner
In the meantime Siemsen had called
for his wife and taken her home.
Learning of Dabner's capture, with
marvellous effrontery he decided to
visit police headquarters and spread
the trail for his own escape. There
he told story of being held up and
robbed of 5000 In greenbacks. He
showed the detectives SIS which he
had taken from the jewelers. cash box,
and declared it was all the footpads
had missed.
He overplayed the part. however,
giving his true address and placing
the scene of the hold-up Behrend's
store. That night he was arrested at
his home.

coroner of the city and county. This
mans name was James Dowdall, and
the police arrested him in refugee
camp, apparently for no other reason
than that he had bad record. He
protested his innocence, but the detec-
tives dragged him through the prelim-
mary examination, where DIR. Leland
positively identified him as one of his
assailants.
Tragedy at Japanese Bank.
But while the trial of Dowdall was
in progress the two felons for whom
he suffered. one of them an ex-convict
like himself, were busily planning their
boldest venture. This was the robbery
of the Kimmon Ginko, or Japanese
bank.
The day before the robbery Siemsen
drove up In buggy which he had pur-
chased with the proceeds of his other
robberles. He entered and interviewed
the manager, M. Munakata, declaring
that he intended to become a deposit
tor At first Munakata was suspicious,
but by the time Siemsen had left, the
well dressed, smooth-spoken stranger
had allayed all doubts, to say nothing
of having obtained an excellent idea
of the arrangement of the bank
The following day Siemsen and Dab
ner, each armed with paper-covered
gas pipe, waited outside until all save
one of the clerks, A. Sasaki. had gone
to luncheon. Then they went in.
Siemsen nodded to the clerk at the
counter and with Dabner strobe back
to the managers Office They found
Munakata writing. and before he could
greet them Siemsen struck him blow
