BoNAPARTE IN WASHINGTON.
Says Department Stands Ready to
Bring Criminal Action.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Attorney
General Ronaparte returned today
from his vacation at LenoX, Mass.
and took up at once many important
matters pending in the department Of
justice. He was unwilling to discuss
reports that he had returned to begin
criminal prosecution in the Hartman
and standard Oil cases. Speaking
generally, he says that the depart
ment of justice stands ready to bring
criminal action when there is a good
chance to convict. He expresses no
opinion concerning the possibility Of
conviction in either Of the cases men
toned.
Discussing the existing statutes he
says the Elkins law has been proven
to be strong enough to put an end to
rebating. but that some more active
enforcement might be beneficial.
While he had no criticism to offer Of
the Elkins law, he thought the Hep
burn act, passed by the last congress,
may strengthen it materially.
Mr.. Bonaparte had a telegram from
F. B. Kellogg. of St Paul. who has
been acting. as special attorney for
the government in both the Standard
Oil and Hartman cases, stating that
the taking of testimony in the st.
Louis case against the Standard Oil
Company. which is for the dissolution
of the concern, will begin . in New
York on September 3.

crowded.

Belfast, Aug. 12.-Disorders occur
red here again this evening Troops
fired into the crowd and woman and
a man We're shot dead and a number
of others were seriously wounded.
The conflict took place in the Wis
cinity of the constabulary barracks.
The trouble became acute about 8
o'clock when a mob of men and wosas
en- attacked a police inspector. Sot-
diers who, wers summoned were met
by hail Of paving stones which re-
suited in emptying some of the sad
dies. The riot act was read, but the
mob refused to disperse and kept up
a terrific fusilade Of stones, broken
bottles and brickbats against the po-
lice and the military. Bayonet and
baton charges failed to rout the riot
ers and ultimately the order to fro
was given.
The number wounded from the rife
fire and the bayonet charges and oths
erwise injured is large and tonight
the hospitals are overcrowded.
Rioting continued until nearly mia.
night. The rioters stretched chains
across the streets to impede the
movement OF troops who charged tbs
mob no less than 40 times. Six vols
leys We're fred into the mob and off,
cial reports state that three We're kills
ed, six seriously wounded and hun-
dreds slightly hurt.
The police court sat until mid
night hearing charges against alleg-
ed rioters.

A Temporary Settlement Made and
Its License Restored to do Business
in the State.

in the State.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. S.-Gov.
Conner and officials of the Southern
railway reached an agreement tonight
and the license of the railroad in Ala
bama will be restored
Beginning Sept. 1. 1907, the railway
and allied lines will put into effect the
2 1-2 cent passenger fare act and the
measure Of reducing the freight rates
on 10 commoditi commonly ship
ped in Alabama
The entire day was spent in confer
ence by Gov. Conner, representing the
State, and Col E. L. Russell. vice
president of the Mobile & Ohio; ]. S.
B. Thompson. assistant to President
Finley; Col. Alex P. Humphrey Of
Louisville and James Weatherly Of
Birmingham, attorneys representing
the Southern.
The laws inquestion Will not be put
into effect permanently. The agree
ment specifically declares that their
operation beginning Sept. is only
subject to the final determination as
to their constitutionality and their
reaSonableress, when a decision on
these questions is finally rendered by
the court of last resort Meanwhile,
the other laws enacted by the legisla-
ture at is winter session affecting the
railroads Of the State will remain in
force. The railroad representatives
agreed that they would appear before
Judge Jones and ask him for an order
modifying the restraining order issu-
ed by the United States court two
months ago. to permit of the imne-
diate operation subject to the final
decision Of the court of the two acts
in question.
In consideration Of the agreement
of the railroad representatives to per-
nit the immediate operation of these
two laws, the one affecting the pas
senger traffic and the other the
freight, it was agreed By Gov. Conner
that the revocation of the license of
the Southern in Alabama should be
cancelled and the company permitted
to do business without hindrance by
the State
The compromise affects only the
one railroad system, the Southern.
The other railroads of the State were
not parties to the conference.
