GENERAL Won DER LAUNiTZ, PRE-
Feet Or POLICE, SLAIN AT
ST PETERSBURG.
ASSASSIN CUT DOWN BY AN OFFICER
PERPETRATOR OF CRIME FAILS
TO GET AWAY AFTER COM
MiTTiNG DEED.

St Petersburg, Jan. 4.-Major Gen.
eral Won der Launitz, prefect of police
Of St Petersburg, was shot and killed
by a young man at the Institute or
Experimental Medicine during the aft
ernOOn.
Won der Launitz, at the invitation of
Prince Peter AleXandrovitch, brother
in-law of the emperor, was attending
the conservation of the institute
chapel. During the services and while
mingling with several high officials the
prefect of police was approached from
behind by young man, who drew
revolver and shot him In the base or
the brain. Won der Launitz fell for
ward and died In two minutes. AS
the assassin turned to fee one OF the
officers present drew his saber, cut
him down and killed him.
The identity of the assassin has not
been established.
Vladimir Won der Launitz came OF an
old family of the German nobility In
the Baltic provinces. He served with
distinction during the Turkish war OF
1878, was decorated for bravery and
In addition to holding the rank OF
major general was one of the equerries
of the court Previous to his appoint
ment as project Of police in January,
1904, Won der Launitz was governor OF
Tambov for three years. He stood
high in the favor Of the emperor, who
last spring issued special rescript
thanking him for maintaining order In

mtg acted with severity against the
revolutionists he was not especially
execrated personally like the late Cen
eral Trepoff.
The assassination of the prefect OF
police was part of the terrorist plot to
bring about state of general intiml-
dation.

VOLUME OF TRAFFIC TOO GREAT
Hiil'e Opinion of the Cause OF Recent
Wrecks.

Washington, Jan. 4.-"Of late l
never start on a railroad journey with
out wondering how it will end
whether it will not be my last. the
enormous increase in the volume oil
traffic has caused it to become a COM
mon practice on many roads to allow
three trains on block at the same
time. Practically they run on sight. =
This startling statement was made
by President James ]. Hill OF the
Great Northern railroad to high Off
cial of the government who talked
with him in New York on the present
aspects of the transportation problem.
In recounting the conversation the
official in question referred to the fact
that 1t was disregard Of the block sys-
tenn that led to the disaster on the
Southern Railway in which President
Samuel Spencer lost his life a few
weeks ago as well as the frightful
calamity in the suburbs Of Washington
on Sunday evening last.

MAY TOTAL FORTY NINE
NUMBER OF DEATHS IN ROCK
ISLAND COLLISION NOT DEF
lNiTELY KNOWN.

Topeka, Kan. Jan. At Is still I'M
possible to say exactly how many
persons perished In the Rock Island
train wreck at Alma, Kan, rs num-
Der of bodies of Mexicans were com
pletely destroyed by the burning OF
the smoking car. The conductor says
there were scventy-six MeXicans on
the train and it Is feared that forty
four of these were killed, together
with four passengers, all men. and
negro train porter, making the total
dead forty-nine.
The Rock Island officials insist that
but thirty persons were killed ana
thirty others seriously injured in the
collision. The officials declare that
the statement attributed to the con-
ductor OF train No. 20 that he had
tickets for seyenty-six Mexicans is a
mistake They assert that at the most
there were not over thtrty-five Mex
leans aboard the train.
There are twelve seriously injured
In the hospital here. Some OF these
may die. Most of the slightly injured
have already left the city.
The coroner's inquest over the VIC
Tins has begun at Alma and John
Lynes, the boy telegraph operator who
is blamed for the collision, was the
principal witness.
The remains of twelve charred and
burned bodies, or what was left OF
them, were brought into Alma and
these were presented to the jury. Most
of them are the remains of Mexicans,
but 1t is impossible to identify any OF
them. They will be buried at Alma
after they have been viewed by the
coroner's Jury.

STATEMENT BY HEARST.
VIII Never Again BE Candidate for
Office.

New York, Jan. 4.-William II.
Hearst reiterated at a meeting OF the
city committee of the independence
league that he will never again be
candidate for Office Mr. Hearst said:
Il myself am not and will not be
again a candidate for any office, but |
am as much interested as ever-and
even more interested than ever-1n
the promotion of the principles OF the
Independence league. 1t seems to me
that we can all feel satisfaction upon
what has been and is being accom-
plished. And it seems to me that as
patriotic citizens we need not care
particularly what individuals put
those principles and reforms into eff
feet as long as they are actually being
accomplished for the benefit OF our
fellow citizens.
II believe that the league will go
forward to further and greater achieve
ments and l heartily offer you, my
friends, my best services as fellow
worker to those ends"

#COURT OvERRULES DEMURRERS
OF OIL TRUST TO PENDING
INDICTMENTS.
JUDGE lAADIS FILES HIS DECISION
CONVENTIONS OF DEFENDANT
TURNED DOWN IN ALL BUT
TWO INSTANCES.
ElARl.ISHED 1890

Chicago, Jan. 4-Judge Lands, In
the United States district court, has
overruled the demurrer of the Stand
ard Oil company to eight indictments
pending against that corporation, but
sustained the demurrer as to two
defects.
These prosecutions" said the
court, ARE for alleged violations Of
section l Of the act approved Feb. 19,
charge is that the defendant obtained
the transportation of its property by
various railway companies at rates
less than those named In the carriers
published schedules The offenses are
alleged to have been committed prior
to the enactment of the law approved
June 80, 1906, known as the rate law
The indictments were returned Aug.
q, 1906"
The court ruled against the defend
ants contention that the Elkins law
was enacted really to prohibit the en-
ployment of Indirect methods to OBJ
tain preferential rates, 1t being the
defendants contention that it was not
a violation of the law If railway
company dealing directly with ship
per, gave that shipper cut rate.
The court also ruled against the de-
PENDANTS claim that the provision OF
the Elkins law requiring shippers to
adhere to a published rate was void.
as being against that provision OF the
interstate commerce law which re-
quired carriers to transport property
for a reasonable rate, the court hold
ing that carriers and shippers were
both required to adhere to the pub
lished rate until such rate was pub
licly changed In the manner provided
by law.
Knocks Out More Contentious.
The court further ruled against the
defendants contention that the indict-
ments were bad because the inter
state commerce law did not require
railway companies to publish rates
between points beyond the carriers
own line of road, holding that If a
NeL iASIS IlaViAso LiuoO eliA CA etLlSSihSAS
with connecting lines for the trans
portatscn Of property beyond it's own
line, should thereupon publish rates
for the transportation of property be-
tween such points. the carrier must
be, therefore, held as to the shipping
public to have facilities for the trans
portation of property to such points
beyond its own line and that the re-
quirement Of the law applied to such
case with the same force that it ap-
piled to q point on the carriers own
line.
The court ruled against the defend
ants contention that the provision of
the interstate commerce law requiring
carriers to publish terminal charges
was not operative upon consignees,
holding that in respect to such ter
minal charges, inasmuch as the con-
signor would have but little, II any,
interest In the question, the law plain
ly was intended to be binding on con-
signees. The terminal charges In ques-
ton consisted of large amounts of
storage charges that had accrued on

From there they go by Villa Grove

to Littleton, and then on to Boulder.
But they may conclude to 20 by way
of Canon City and Colorado Springs.
The trip will occupy sometime, per-

through a pretty rough country. 1t is

two young women. hardly u years of
age are confident they can make It all
right. They will stop at farm hous-

them each day.
Miss Madge is a natural horse
