POWDER TRUST CAN'T
ESCAPE BY TRANSFER
Department of Justice Says Dissolution
of Merger Does Not Permit De-
PENDANTS TO Avoid Prose-
cution
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The depart
ment of justice today issued the follow
ing explanatory statement regarding the
suit recently filed against the so-called
powder trust:
"Under the laws of Delaware the stock
holders of corporation can bring about
its dissolution by filing their unanimous
consent with the secretary of state. This
| is what was done by the E. I. Dupont
De Nemours powder company of Della
ware, which is one of the three operating
companies in the alleged powder trust.
The dissolution of a company does not,
however, under the laws of Delaware,
prevent it from being sued, neither does
it prevent receiver from being ap-
| pointed.
"On yesterday the department was in
formed that there had been a transfer
of the assets of the dissolved company
prior to yesterdays proceedings in the
dissolution. If this is so, it may be
necessary by amending the petition to
bring whatever concern may have taken
over the assets as an additional party.
THE suit is proceeding to the entire
satisfaction of the department"

Are Denounced

GUTHRIE, Okla, Aug. 1.-For COVER
nor, Frank Frantz; lieutenant governor,
N G. .urk Choctah, /. t.; secretary OF
state Thomas Robnett. Ardmore, l. t.;
attorney general, Silas Reid, Ell Reno.
With the chief places on the state
ticket thus filed, the Republican state
convention took breathing spell late to-
night Not in the history Of the party in
Oklahoma has there been rendered such
an ovation to one man as that which
greeted the announcement that Governor
Frank Frantz was renominated as head
of the ticket without opposition.
The delegates assembled cheered for
several minutes and baked the efforts of
Chairman Murphy to restore order. The
action was not unexpected, In view of the
| feeble opposition, but the realization
seemed to carry the convention off its
feet. There was little fight on the nomi-
nation.
The unexpected occurred when the sec
ton in the platform denouncing the
Democratic constitution was eliminated
and the party merely pledged itself to Sc
cure amendments to the document.
| The platform indorses the national and
territorial administrations. denounces the
Democratic party for its failure to com
prehend the needs of the people or to deal
with the problems of government"
| The platform contains an antitrust
plank. favors the removal of restrictions
from Indian lands and indorses good roads
but remains silent on the prohibition ques-
ton.

ESTATE OF ITALIAN
CAUSES ENHANCEMENT 7
Phoenix, Ariz., Has Two Cases of ln=
ternational Coloring-Chinese De-
tective Accused of BIackmaiIing
Fellow Countrymen
BY Associated Press.

by ASSoCldteu 1AeSS
PHOENIX, Ariz. Aug. 1-Phoenix has
two interesting incidents of international
coloring, one involving the Italian gov
ernment, the other Chinese subjects.
A few years ago Joe TagnaciOla, an
italian, engaged in the cattle business
in Arizona and died leaving no heirs in
this country. He left a will naming
Frank All1ire of Phoenix, a friend of
years. as his executor.
According, to law, the italian consul at
Denver was notified of conditions and
he instructed Alkire to dispose of the
estate at a certain figure, about $4,000,
to a man designated by the consul and
send the proceeds to the consul for dis
tribution to the heirs in his country.
Alkire, conceving the estate was val
ued too low and acting under authority
of the probate court, disregarded the in
structions.
The consul then sent the power of
attorney of all Italian heirs. By this
time Alkire had sold the estate and for
warded $4,000 to the state department
at Washington for distribution through
the American consul in Italy.
The Italian consul now feels abused
and threatens to come here and see if
there is a law to enforce the action
recognizing the power of attorney.
The other case is that of HON Wo
Chung held for deportation. He was
here when the exclusion law went into
effect but it was claimed by immigra-
ton officials that he has been back to
China and had worked his way in again.
Importance lies in the fact that the "six
companies" have become interested in
the defendant. 1t is alleged a Chinaman
employed by American officials as q
detective, to single out unlawful resi-
dents, is practicing blackmail.

coast and the Nevada CALIFORNIA; Oregon
all lines of the Southern Pacific
1t was shown in the report of the two

the year ending June. 1906. Those ap.
pearing for the Southern Pacific thought
the board should reduce the general as
sessment because of the decrease shown
in the two smaller lines.
The board was of the opinion that the
only way the Southern Pacific can escape
paying the same rate on the delinquent
roads as it does on the main lines is to
give up the non-paying ones.
Most of the discussions were dry and
or statistical nature. The reports of
the various companies are as follows

Are Ready for a Bitter
Struggle

LODI, Aug. 1.-This city today was
again the scene of strike movement
accompanied by violence, disorder anC
death. Troops encountered the striker:
in the center of the town and thirty mer
were killed or wounded in this fight alone
Business is at a standstill
In spite of the aggressive stand taker
by the authorities the disorders recon-
menced early today
The strike is serious. 1t would appear
to be the beginning of big labor war
and the workmen's unions are prepared
for a long struggle The immediate cause
of the outbreak yesterday was the course
pursued by the police in the past eighi
days in making a large number of arrests
in an attempt to break up the unions
The principal socialist leaders have beer
thrown into jail.
The police have been so energetic ir
their measures against the unions that
they have united the Socialists. the Polish
Socialists and the Nationalist party,
who up to the present time have been
waging a merciless war accompanied by
daily murders and outrages among them
selves.
General Strike Declared
A general strike has been declared and
the Socialist Democrats and the Polish
6OC1dllSIS nave CdlISu OuI oNfuvo. IhC -No
tionalists have been forced to join the
committee of the Amalgamated unions.
The committee has ordered that all busi-
ness in Lodz cease. Stores have been
told to close and the power house OF the
electric traction system has been shut
down. The committee is enforcing its
orders with armed men, and several shop
keepers who refused to shut up have
been shot.
daxr ha of lohOr6rS sent
out in the city to wreck street cars This
they did in number of cases. and later
they used the cars as barricades from
which to stone the police.
During the calling out of the strikers
one factory foreman and two storekeep-
ers were killed and two laborers were
mortally wounded. The disorders grew
as the day wore on. At o'clock in the
afternoon the military force was mobil-
lied, but there was no engagement with
the workmen until 9 o'clock last night.
At this hour the opposing forces came
together in the center of the town. The
fighting was serious and prolonged. The
workmen fired several hundred shots
from automatic pistols and did not dis
perse until they had been charged by the
cavalry At least thirty men were killed
or wounded
Ambulances at once cleared the streets
of the dead bodies.
Among the dead is a German shoe
maker.
The city was patrolled last night by
detachments of cossacks and dragons.
This morning the troops started the
electric cars again, but the passengers
on board were attacked by gangs of
workmen and a number of them were
wounded. The strikers today began an
attempt to force a cessation Of work.

and other Lines Tied Up
ARE ALL OUT AT oELwE'N
Boiler Makers Helpers Aid in Fight
and Great Western Maehinists Go
Out in sympathy-Entire Shop sys-
tens Of Roads Affected to Be Tied
Up Before Night.

st. Paul, Sept. IA general strike
of boiler makers on the Chicago Great
Western, Great Northern, Omaha
Northern Pacific and 500 railroads was
called today. It Is expected that be-
fore night the entire shop system OF
these roads will be tied up. The boil
ermakers are aided in their fight by
their helpers, and in the case OF the
Great Western the machinists in the
big shops at Oelwein, who went out
in sympathy.
The strike Of the boilermakers fol-
lowed the refusal Of the railroads for
an increase to As cents an hour east,
and to 471s cents west of the Mis-
souri river. This, the railroads con-
slider to be the heaviest demand ever
made by any Of their shop employees.
AS a compromise the railroads offered
a nine hour day at 41k cents per hour
east of the Missouri and a nine hour
day and 43h cents west Of the Mis-
souri,. This increase would have been
equal to 1k cents differential on the
above wages paid machfnists in the
shop.
Up to the present time reports show
that there are out at the Great Wes-
tern 225 men, Great Northern $50,
Omaha $50. Northern Pacific 33S and
500 line 225. Railroad officials expect
the strike will spread rapidly.
