RATES FAVOR TRUST
STEAMER TARIFFS ON OILS TO
AFRICA NOT UNIFORM.
CONTRACT is PRODUCED
Ida TarbelPs Brother Tells of His
Troubles with Standard-Hear-
ina of Missouri Custer
Suit Set.

New York.-An omnibus contract,
whereby the Standard Oil COM
pany obtains from every steamship
company operating between New
York and all ports in Africa a rate for
the shipment of lubricating oil that is
about one-half what its competitor,
the New York Lubricating company,
pays, was produced Friday in the
hearing of the federal suit against the
alleged oil combine.
This contract was placed in evil
dence and Philip Harrison, a manager
of the New York Lubricating Oil COM
pany, declared that his company was
forced to pay double the Standard
rate, Notwithstanding his protest to
the steamship companies.
Mr.. Harrison said that by reason
of the freight discrimination the
Standard could place its products in
Africa at less than the cost price of
the oils of his own company, and that
to maintain African trade the New
York Lubricating Oil company was
forced to purchase from the Standard
the cheaper grade of oils which 1t
sold to it's customers.
The witness declared that he wrote a
letter to the steamship agents demand
ing equitable rates for the company
but no change was made.
w. w. Tarbell, of Philadelphia,
treasurer of the Pure Oil company and
of the United States Pipe Line com
pany, related the difficulties his com
panies had encountered in competition
with the Standard. Mr.. Tarbell stated
that the business of the Pure Oil com
pany was placed in districts selected
with view to avoiding business rela
tions with certain railroads whose
rate determinations, he said, were
more feared by the company than the
opposition of the Standard in open
competition.
Mr.. Tarbell is brother of Miss Ida
Tarbell, who has written much about
the Standard Oil company and John
D. Rockefeller.
Jefferson City, Mott was an
nounced late Friday that the Stand
ard Oil company custer suit has beer
set for hearing before the supreme
court en- blanc October %. The case
is to be argued on the report of the
special commission which is alleged tC
have found an illegal combination OF
the Standard Oil company, the Wa
ters-Pierce company, and the excep

The lmmlarant Woman.

What becomes of the ever-increas
ing number of immigrant women who
come to this country? asks Frances A.
Kellar, in Atlantic Monthly. Do they
enter the ranks of laborers OF Of drift.
ers? Do they rise in the scale of hu.
man life and friendship, or deterior'
ate? The labor and vote of immigrant
men are so valuable to the business in,
terests Of this country that there is
much available information as 10 what
becomes of them, but no correspond.
ing data for immigrant women. The
inter-municipaI research committee, in
cooperation with others, has set out to
gather this information, particularly
for the young and unmarried women
during the first three years of resi-.
dence. This is the critical period OF
their life and work during that time
constitutes a great social, economic
and moral factor in the progress and
development of this country and its
people. Immigrant women, quite as
much as immigrant men, belong to the
exploited and disinherited group, and
though we flatter ourselves that wo
men are better protected than men,
immigrant women upon their arrival
have no disadvantage in laws or trade
over men, and are at a disadvantage
politically. The problem of immigrant
women is not entirely that of immi
grant men, for two main reasons
First, the labor, the housing and wages
of women are more complicated by
questions of sex and morality; and
second, the field of domestic service,
which takes great numbers Of them,
has an influence unlike that of any
other occupation. 10 is a mistake to
attempt to understand or solve the So!
Cial, industrial and moral questions
arising from immigration without con.
sidering the women. For the year end
ing June 50, 1905, 3O1,5S5 women,
nearly one-half of the number of men,
came to this country.

ON A MAckERgL SCHOONER.
psIIy Routine In the Life Of the elou-
eester Fishermen.

The routine life on a mackerel
schooner is not strenuous. The crew
consists of IA men, a skipper and
cook. Two men constitute a watch,
one aloft as a lookout, the other at
the wheel, SO that each man has two
hours on duty, and then IL hours on
before his turn comes around again.
During this period he may be called
on to shorten sail, wash the deck or
to perform other work. Half Of the
crew have their hunks forward with
the cook, who is king of the forecas-
tie, and the rest sleep aft with the
captain. We were assigned to a
double bunk aft, where we were not
troubled with galley smells, but had
to be on our good behavior. All the
roles and revels were forward. The
crew ate in two shifts, the older men
with the skipper.-Travel Magazine.

A Ventilation Test.

It is very hard to make an impress
sion on those people who defend their
possessions on all occasions. A lady
was explaining to a visitor the many
advantages of concrete hollow-block
construction, Of which the walls Of
her new home were built.
"The air spaces in the walls afford
insulation against heat in summer and
cold in winter" she explained. BE
sides, such walls afford ventilation
and insure a more healthful house."
The visitor reflected a moment, and
replied:
"Our frame house must be quite as
we'll built. Every night we lock the
cat in the cellar, and have to let her
out of the 2ttic in the morning.

SENATOR BORAH NOT GUILTY
ACQUITTED OF CONSPIRACY TO
DEFRAUD GOVERNMENT.
Roise Greets Verdict with Cheers,
Bells Are Rung and Band Plays
"Hai to the Chief"

Boise, Idaho.-United States Sena-
tor William e. Borah was acquitted
Wednesday night of the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the government out
of valuable Idaho timber lands.
The case was submitted without ar
gument on the part of the defense
and the jury was out just long enough
to take one ballot. The verdict was
greeted by cheers and applause which
the court officers made no effort to
restrain. This demonstration in the
courtroom served only as a beginning
AS soon as the news reached the out
side bells were rung and the fire de-
partment made a spectacular run
throughAthe principal streets, stop
ping eventually at the Idaho hotel, to
which Senator Borah, surrounded by
several hundred of his fellow citizens,
was escorted.
A, brass band appeared as If by
magic, as the senator reached the
hotel steps, and played Hail to the
Chief"
The streets about the hotel were
blocked by cheering throng, whose
shouts mingled the screech of the
fire engine whistles and Changing of
trolley car bells.
Senator Borah thanked the people
for their demonstration and for the
confidence they had reposed in him
throughout the trial
Il have felt the humiliation deeply,
he continued, especially because of
the manner in which the name of my
dead friend, Frank Steunenberg, has
been brought into the case. am glad
to say was his friend-the friend of
man who gave up his life for his
state and his country. Political cap
ital has been or tried to be made out
of my indictment, but l am glad to
say some of my staunchest friends
during this trial have come from the
other side. The only reason / was
indicted appears to have been that
was the friend of Frank Steunenberg.
The demonstration over the acquit
tai continued until late in the night
with street parades, band concerts
fireworks and general celebration.

the maiden, the pure, unsophisticated
affection of the maiden for the man
instead of bartering happiness for

LANeUAeEE OF INSECTS.
How a Tiny Sentinel Warned on an
Unwelcome Intruder.

Insects express emotion by bodily
gestures, says a writer in Harper's.
An mimetic language, though far more
limited, is not less ineligible than
vocal speech. Indeed, a glance of the
eye, a movement of the hand, shrug
of the shoulder, stamp of the foot,
a toss of the head may betray in man
the true thought or feeling, even when
spoken language is used to conceal it..
We may find, perhaps, that this me-
dium serves insects no less efficiently
for communication, within that limited
range-of ideas, shall we say?-to
which their faculties are confined.
Let us stand before the oak tree
and watch a double stream of mound
making ants (Formica exsectoides)
thronging up and passing down the
well-marked trail that leads to herd
of aphides upon some branches that
overhang a stone fence. The motion
of a finger near the trunk attracts the
attention of sentinel-one of num-
Der that seems to be guarding the
flanks of the column. 1t halts, thrusts
out its antennae, and shows signs OF
excitement. AS an experiment, the
finger is approached within an inch
or more of the ant. Its antennae wave
rapidly. Its head and body jerk with
eager intenseness. 1t stretches forth
its head and reaches out is fore legs
with jaws eagerly agape and antennae
quivering. The whole attitude and
every bodily detail clearly express tc
the observer the ideals of vigilance;
of suspicion; of a challenge; of a pur
pose to repel. AS plainly as if it had
spoken, the sentinel has said: II sus
pect you. test you. I bid you be
gone!" We on-lookers understand
this. 1t is supposable that ants them
selves do not understand?
