The contrast between Korea and
Japan in this latter respect is marked

movement in the native church. and

none OF these problems: his one con-

chumens awaiting him, and to receive
into the church the men and women

churches can be visited only every
three months or half yearly. In a
word, here are missionary conditions

ing on a bench in the passenger sta
ton, with one foot hanging to the
ankle by only few shreds of flesh and
his wounds squirting blood thru the
bandages His foot had been severed

In the presence Of the doctor and
the lawyer who was drawing the In
strument and two railroad men,
Hughes, whose life was not really in
danger, but who was suffering extreme
agony, bequeathed his property to his
two sons Few words came from his
lips as he lay there, because it was
a great effort to speak at all and also
because his bequests were direct and
simple.
Hughes had come to Colfax in
tending to stay at the Victoria hotel

ing to the fact that the interlocking
switch where the Rock Island crosses
the Colfax Northern is out of order,

running thru as usual. This fooled
Hughes, who. it appears, started to get
out at the switch, thinking he was at

Desperate Of Nine Years.


Manchester, N. H.-Leon Green
wood, aged 9 years, who is considered
the most desperate youngster ever ar
raigned in this city, was sentenced to
the state industrial school during his
minority by Judge Peasley.
His sentence was under an old in
dictment charging him with an as
sault on Miss Emma Lemire last Feb
ruary.
Greenwood robbed grocery store on
Nashua street, and with the money he
stole purchased gun at a local hard
ware store. He met Miss Lemire on
McGregor bridge while on her way to
school, and taking deliberate aim. fred
at her. The bullet struck her in the
forehead, inflicting dangerous tho
not fatal wound.
Greenwood was indicted, but the case
was continued for sentence during
good behavior. A few days ago he
assaulted companion, and told him
if he disclosed the crime to the au
thorities he would kill him.
AS a result he was brought into the
superior court and sentenced.

Attorney For Hartman Pre-
sents Railway Side Before
Commerce Commission
SAYS TRADE is NOT RESTRAINED
Lawyer Milburn Claims the Two
Pacifies Are Not Parallel and Thsrs-
fore Not Competitors Purpose
Was to Gain . Thru Line From om-
aha to San Francisco.

Washington, April 5.-Continuing his
argument today before the interstate
commerce commission in support of
the legality Of Harriman's railroad op-
erations. Attorney John G. Milburn laid
down nine general propositions to
show that restraint of trade, to be
within the antitrust act, must be di-
rect and immediate to affect the trans-
action, and not merely an indirect or
incidental result. He gave especial at-
tention to the contention that the pur-
chase of the Southern Pacific by the
Uni9p Pacific was legitimate busi-
ness transaction and not in any way In
contravention Of the antitrust law.
He said if the laws Of the state by
which the Union Pacific was chartered
had prohibited such purchase. itsS
could not have been legitimately made,
but that in no event could the federal
anti-trust law be held applicable
He contended that the main pur-
pose of the purchase had been to gain
q thru line from Omaha to San Fran
cisco and declared there had been no
subterfuge about or hidden motive in
the deal. It had been bona fide pur-
chase and could not be criticized as
business transaction from any point soe
view. Having no purposs Of prevent
ing competition, 1t did not fall within
the meaning of the Sherman law.
Calling attention to the fact that
Harriman's purchase Of Southern Pa
cifc stock had occurred at the same
time as his purchase Of Northern Pa
cifc stock, Commissioner Lane sug-
gested the two transactions might in-s
dicate purpose to control competition
in trans continental business, but Mil
burn said the record in the case indi-
Gated no such purpose, the two trans
actions being independent and separ-
ate. Moreover, negotiations for the
Southern Pacific stock had been be-
gun long before the efforts were made
to obtain Northern Pacific stock.
ANY other theory is a mere dream,
he declared.
"1f it Is dream, 1t is not dream
Of this commission, but Of Hartman"
responded Lane, and Milburn turned
his attention to the question whether
the Union Pacific or Southern Pacific
are parallel and competitive. He de-
clared they were not.

FORCING FIGHT ON FORAKER.
Reported Plan to Give Longworth
Tooa and Force Dicks Hand.

Washington, April "a report is cir
culated in Ohio circles that part OF
the campaign for supremacy between
Secretary Taft and Senator Foraker
includes the selection of Congressman
Nicholas Longworth as the successor
of Mr.. Foraker in the senate and the
choice of Congressman Burton as Sen
tor Dicks successor in 1911 in the
event the latter does not fall into line
and unite his forces with those OF
Secretary Taft. A combination between
Taft and Dick would assure Foraker's
defeat. 1t is question whether this
latest gossip will have the effect OF
driving Senator Dick into the Taft
camp or stiffening him into a resolve
to fight his own fight with Foraker
The substitution of Longworth for
Burton to succeed Foraker is inter-
preted by Ohio. politicians to mean that
the Taft people intend to tie up to the
Roosevelt sentiment wherever poss-
ibIe.
Senator Foraker has decided to open
the campaign at once. He will address

willie May 30. and will speak at the

Is "oil" Supreme?

Washington, April "wednesday
and yesterday President Roosevelt has
been talking with unaccustomed free
dom on "the greatest issue raised in
this country since the civil war" That
issue is as to whether the Standard Oil
crowd and their allied interests are
greater than the United States gov
ernment.
A realization of this issue has been
growing upon the president for sew
eral years, and particularly since thei,
attempt in 1904 to defeat his nominal
ton and the unmistakable indications
at that time that the same interests
We're responsible for the nomination
of Judge Parker by the democrats.
When an aggregation of capital
grows so great that it tries to dictate
the nomination of both parties, the
president believes the issue is strictly
raised as to whether the government is
still supreme
That the same people should at this
time be engaged in an attempt to name
both the democratic and republican
candidates for president in 1908 does
not surprise the president at all. In
fact, the only thing that would surprise
him in that connection would be to
learn that no such attempt was being
made. Mark Hanna, who was to have
been the Standard crowds republican
candidate in 1904, died in time to ef-
fectualiy cripple their campaign, but
President Roosevelts supreme conf
dence in the people makes him believe
that no candidate of the oil trust could
have been nominated at that time. This
again makes him believe that this time
the people, as fast as they are en-
lightened as to what is being attempt
ed, will line up against the Standard
Oil crowd and make their game for
control of the government ineffective.
Even President Roosevelt did not re-
alize the extent of the ramifications
of the Standard Oil crowds interests
until the prosecution of the Standard
Oil trust was undertaken by Attorney
General Moody. That prosecution re-
suited in the collection of such list
of allied interests as would have ap-
palled a less sturdy fighter than the
president, and even with the hundreds
of banks, trust companies, railroads
and other concerns all over the coun-

it did not have a complete list and
probably never could secure one. The
lines reached too far and went to too
fine point and into too many enter
prises to be summed up completely un
less by some miracle all the names of
all the stockholders in all the corpora
tions in the country could be printed
in one heroic list and then separated
into their respective groups.
But the issue is plain. shall the peo-
pie control or the Standard Oil and
allied ccSeerps?
