pointers upon this subject and
says in part:
THE question is, How can this
destruction be brought about?

of it depends largely upon the

SPECIAL DISPATCH To THE CALL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Attorney
General Bonaparte has notified his
subordinates here that he viii mater
tally shorten his vacation and return
to this city week from tomorrow
August II. During his brief outing
at Lennox Bonaparte has been giving
personal attention to the report sub
mitted by the interstate commerce
commission on the various financial
transactions of z. H. Hartman.
Many leading officials N the depart
ment of justice believe the early re-
turn of Attorney General Bonaparte
presages the vigorous prosecution Of
Hartman. They entertain the opinion
that the manner in which the Standard
oil rebate case at Chicago had been
handled by Judge lands points out a
way BY which Hartman nav b
reached.
The order issued by Judge Lands
directing the grand Jury to take up on
August Il the rebate practices as re-
lated to the Chicago and Alton railroad
may mean the criminal prosecution OF
the railroad offciaIs who granted the
rebates to the Standard OIL the accept
ance OF which resulted in the assess
ment of a fine of $2s.24O.OO
The Elkins law. under which these
prosecutions are being conducted. is
broad. It provides a punishment OF
from $1,000 to $4,000 fine for each vio-
lation by omission on commission. It
further provides that any person or
any officer or director OF any corpora
ton OF a common carrier OF any re-
ceiver. lessee. agent. trustee or person
of Offering. granting. giving. soliciting.
accepting or receiving any rebate or
concession. may be Imprisoned in the
penitentiary for not to exceed two
years in addition to the heavy fne. at
the discretion OF the court
The interstate commerce commission
In the report which Attorney General
Bonaparte Is now considering showed
that during the period covered by the
Standard oil case. Hartman was IN ab-
solute control OF the Chicago and Alton.
It Is pointed out here that. as Judge
Landis explained, the Chicago and Alton
filed a false rate sheet with the inter
state commerce commission on oil
shipments from whiting. Ind. 60 Chi
cago and other points. There can Be
no question under the law as 20 the
legality OF trafac arrangements. for II
is specifically stated that the rate as
fled with the commission shall bs con-
clusiveIy deemed to be the legal rate
in any prosecution begun under the
EIkins act and that any departure from
such rate or any offer to depart there
from shall be deemed an ofrenss under
the act
BY testifying under oath. in obedi-
ence 10 a subpoena. Hartman secured
immunity from criminal prosecutions
under the Sherman antitrust law.

A disturbance caused by soldiers in

quent retirement to private life.

have to go to work The fat job he has
been holding for the last year and a
month. which was created expressly
for his benefit at a needless expense to
the city of about $4,000 year, and
which exists without standing in the
charter, is to be abolished by Mayor
Taylor.
Thomas Gallagher until a little more
than a year ago was in no way con-
nected with the city's government
About the time the trolley steal was
consummated his brother Jim. who had
become one of the leaders OF the super
visors by acting as the go between
with Ruef and the members OF the
board, asked Ruef to create a position
for Tom. Ruef agreed TO do so. and
accordingly the commissary depart
ment was brought into existence and
Thomas Gallagher was placed at its
head with a salary of $3.50 month.
Four clerks. each drawing s125 a
month. and a chief clerk at a salary
of SITS were allotted to the depart
ment Besides this, two horses and
buggies, and also a couple of commits
sary wagons. were given to Gallagher.
The commissary department was first
located in section of Mowry hall, then
occupied as a meeting place for the
board OF supervisors. Although FIVE
clerks were drawing pay regularly.
seldom more than three were on duty
at one time in the Office The duties Of
the department were to inspect requi-
sitions for supplies turned in by any
Of the municipal branches. with the
exception of the emergency hospital,
forward them to tie firms holding con
tracts with the city to furnish the
supplies. and, upon receiving the sup
plies ordered. to turn them over to the
different branches by whom they were
originally ordered. Each branch was
required TO maintain its own commits
sary department with its clerk as 1t
had before the general department had
been created, and the only difference
was that 1t took from 8 to 10 days
longer to5get supplies than before.
The department was created solely
on the word OF Ruef. with the consent
OF schmitz. who. by. the way. hesitated.
probably because 1t would require his
own brother. Frank Schmitz. head OF
the almshouse. to get the supplies for

At any rate. Gallagher's head. along

There IS seldom a time during the

happened that no persons other than

was committed

as the ocean Shore. this being the
name OF a section Of the hotel where
the cheaper class OF patrons are ac-
commoaated- While sitting at his desk
saturday morning the two robbers

the clerk left the counter and instant

The order to throw Up his hands and

that several moments elapsed after the
robbers fed before Mcdaniel recovered
his presence OF mind. He then told
the chief night clerk Of the crime and
the police were notified. but Of course.
by that time all trace Of the men had
been lost.
The men evidently had been loiter-

course was clear. they rushed the work
through. As neither made an attempt
At masking or disguise. Mcdaniel had
good opportunity to observe the rob-
bers and the police have good descrip-
