HARTMAN BROKE NO LAWS.
But Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Sees Evils.

There is a big surprise in store for
people who have been expecting the
interstate commerce commission to
recommend to the attorney general
the prosecution of e. H. Hartman and
his associates and the dissolution of
the railroad combination for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
At a recent conference at the White
House the fact was brought out that
in the opinion of leading members OF
the commission, no law has been vio-
lated by Mr.. Hartman. Grace evils
have been discovered which warrant
the enactment of laws to prevent their
recurrence. But so far as the commits
sions Investigations have established
neither the federal nor state law was
broken by the financial operations con-
nected with the exploitation of the
Chicago & Alton, nor was there any
infringement of the law caused by the
raising of dividends of Union Pacific
to 10 per cent per annum in spite OF
the peculiar circumstances surround
ing this step.

ANOTHER FROM JAPS
THINK THEY ARE NOT GETTING
SQUARE DEAL In FRISCO,
Two White Men Expelled From Jan
Restaurant and Then Mob Demoish-
es Same-UncIe Sam Will Investi-
gate as Police Offered No Assistance
During the Trouble.

A report to Toxic from the consul
in San Francisco confirms the news
of attacks made recently upon Japa-
nese restaurant keepers in that city.
The public at Toxic is indignant, but
the press refrains from any hostile
comment, trusting the Washington
government to prevent the repetition
of similar occurrences.
The disturbance referred to occur
red in a restaurant conducted by jap
anese on Folsom street and was fol-
lowed by an attack upon a japanese
bath house on the opposite side of the
street. The trouble arose over the
expulsion of two white men from a
Japanese restaurant on Eighth street.
They were followed by a mob when
they went to the place on Folsom
street and wrecked both places, the
men escaping through rear entrance
The police say there was no interior
-ence because all the patrolmen were
withdrawn for duty on streetcar strike
troubles.
Adjutant General Lauck was shown
the complaint from the Japanese au
thorities at Washington. He said:
"This is absolutely the first intima
ton have had of any violence shown
to Japanese in San Francisco. / shall
have the officers of the staff investi
gate thoroughly and lay their reports
before the governor"
Investigation Is Ordered.
Washington-The state department
has been informed by Viscount Aoki
the Japanese ambassador, Of recen
abuses OF Japanese restaurant keep
-ers in San Francisco. Secretary Roo
at once took up the matter with thu
department of justice, with the re
quest that an immediate investigation
be made. The ambassador informed
the secretary that he will shortl.
visit the Pacific Coast, carrying GU
plans made several months ago. HI
will visit various places In California
where he will be entertained by Japa
nese societies.
The department Of justice upon re
ceiving the request of the state dc
partment, telegraphed the Unite
States marshal at San Francisco, d
recting them to institute a thorougl
investigation into the matters CON
planned of by the Japanese ambassa
dor and to submit reports by TELEGRAPH
to the attorney general.

FOUND in A TRUNK
PRIESTS BODY PUT THERE TO
SHIELD A Crime.
Trunk Had Been Left In Room by
Two Greeks for Rent Duo-Priest
Had Been Soliciting Funds and 1t Is
Supposed Was Murdered for the
Money Carried In VaIise.

New York, May 27.-Rev. Father
Kaspar of the Armchair Apostolic
church of Hoboken, N. j., was muir
dered In this city some time last week.
The body was found in trunk
which had been left for security for
their room rent by two Greeks. who
three weeks ago rented room from
Mrs. Henry Sherrer, who occupied the
Thirty-seventh street.
When last Wednesday the rent was
not forthcoming her dodgers told Mrs.
Sherrer that she was amply secured by
their well-illed trunk. The following
morning the men disappeared. and
today the trunk was broken open. To
the horror of Mrs. Sherrer 1t was found
to contain the badly decomposed body
of man. The body was in kneeling
position, with the head bound against
the knees by heavy strap that passed
over the back of the neck and was
buckled under the shins. The MUIR
dered man was about 60 years of age
and was about feet inches In
height. A flowing beard IL inches
long was streaked with gray, but the
| long and bushy hair was black. An
undershirt of balbriggan and cuff on
the right wrist were all the body wore,
but on top of it had been thrown three
coats of clerical cut, white laun-
dered shirt, two pairs of black lace
shoes, a soft felt hat, two collars and
detached cuff.
Because of the condition of the body
1t was not possible to determine the
| of q
topsy at the morgue two men were ar
rested on suspicion. Mrs. Sherrer told
the coroners jury that when the two
men engaged the room in her home
they described themselves as John and
Paul Sarkie, each about 35 years of
age. John was dark and smooth
shaven, and the man said he had con-
Quoted a restaurant in the tenderloin.
The other wore a mustache. The men
had been visited, she said, by a man
wearing a clerical garb, who looked
| not unlike the murdered man. She
thought that this man called at 8
t o'clock Wednesday evening. No one
heard any unusual noises that day.
After removal to the morgue the
body was identified as that of the
priest He had lived at COS Monastery
= street, West Hoboken, and frequently
' made trips to this city soliciting fund:
e for his church.
Father Kaspar, carrying a small
4 leather bag in which his collection;
s were placed, came to be a familia
0 figure in Greek and Armenian cir
y Giles here, and it is believed that hi
was murdered for the money he car
0 ried. The autopsy revealed that the
4 priest had probably been drugged anc
5 placed while still alive, in the trunk
D there to be suffocated to death. The
neck and one arm had been broken
+ but apparently these injuries had moi
{ been the cause of death. Thrown upor
: the body was the priests clothing.
The coroner's physician said that the
r man had probably been dead six OIL
! seven days. The contents of the
stomach will be examined to deter
I mine whether some drug was used.

THE FOURTH.

1t is pretty generally conceded that
the Fourth of July celebration under
the auspices of the local camp OF
Woodmen of the World. was one OF the
most successful that has been held In
the Piedmont during good many
years past.
Practically all the local business. in
Guiding those who for one reason OF
another did not participate actively
are agreed that the show was much
bigger thing than they had anticipated
and everybody is not only proud OF 1t;
but generous enough to give the
Woodmen committee, Messrs. Wray
Miller and Wilborn full credit for their
splendid work.
While altogether the town probably
spent more than thousand dollars on
the days entertainment 1t is fact that
the cOmmmittee had only about $75 al
its disposal. The subscriptions were
not what they should have been; but
the fact that so much was done with
so little is all the more to the credit
Of the committee.
1t is too long off to say what will be
done next July The present idea
however, is that there will be another
celebration then. A number Of people
have seen how the celebration Of last
Thursday could be many times en-
larged with a little additional expense
and the probability is that there will
be a programme the next Fourth that
will keep things in hum all day.

THERE is a probability that the mil
itary feature of Clemson college will
be abandoned. The reason is that the
cadets will not hold themselves ame-
nable to discipline, and army officers
will stand for nothing else. The COM
mandant of cadets at Clemson, a dis
tinguished army officer, some time ago
rendered his resignation and it deVel-
OPS that the reason was because he
had tried to enforce discipline among
the seniors and failed. 1t is not be-
lieved that the war department will
assign another officer to a college that
is unable or unwilling to enforce dis
cipline. Clemson has all along had a
reputation for lawlessness. The boys
have been running the whole business
very much as they chose. and they have
not chosen to be particularly obedient
to anybody. The faculty has either
been Indifferent to the preservation OF
order or it has been unable to preserve
order, and if Clemson ever expects to
amount to anything there must be a
change along this line. The young
man who is unwilling TO obey the law
at school need not be expected to obey
the law after he goes out into the
world. 1t is only law abiding citizens
who are good citizens, and If
Clemson is not able to turn out
law abiling citizens it might very well
be abolished. Otherwise, it will be OF
vastly more harm to the state than
good.
