Formsl charges were fled today with
the Department OF Justice against the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
the Postal Telegraph and Cable Com
pany, charging them with conspiracy
In restraint Of trade, under the Sherman
antitrust law. Striking telegraphers
are behind the movement, aud, it is
said, the American Federation OF Lab r
has loaned legal talent TO aid in the
preparation of the cases. 1t is alleged
that the two companies have conspired
to boost the tolls on kilograms.
The lain early today converted the
neighboring Virginia roads into rivers
of mud. This was the day OF the
Workmanship test prescribed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the grizzled veterans
of the desk brigade at the War Depart

a number of whom have not for years
ridden anything more animated than q

with fear aud trembling, mounted on so
many mettlesome cavalry horses, to
prove that they ere still entitled to wear
the uniform and draw their pay.

Investigating STANDARD Oil.

New York, Oct. 8.-The Kellogg
searcblight found its way into darkest
Standard Oil today when the first light
wss thrown upon the mysterious OPP
erations of the liquidating trustees, who
had charge of the concern from 1892
until 1899.
Through tables Of figures prepared by
government experts who have gone over
the books for use ih the federal suit 10
dissolve the STANDARD of New jersey,
Frank B. Kellogg believes be has prov ed
that for five years after the court ordered
the old trust dissolved it continued to
exist.
New York, Oct. S.-With the calling
to the witness stand today of F. I. Cu,h-
bert, President of the Manhattan Oil
Company, Frank B. Kellogg, govern
ment iDquisitor, resumed his efforts to
fad out how that company was acquired
by the Standard Oil Company OF New
Jersey. The Manhattan was sold in
1899 by Commodore f. @. Benedict and
Anthony N. Brady, neither of whom
knew 10 whom it was sold. The d.
vision Of the business Of the Standard
By the Standards subsidiaries was de-
tailed and Cuthbert testified that the
refinery is not now 10 operation. The
Solar Refining Compsny bought the re.
iuery, but did not use it; the Ohio Oil
Company purchased the producing wells
and the Union Tank Company the tank
Gals.
Cuthbert said w. w. Johnson, man.
aging director, and j. w. r. Francis,
Secretary of the General Industrial and
Development Company, for their COM
psDy owned majority of the stock OF
the Manhattan, but he stated it is voted
by him.

A Forty.mile Gale

New York, Oct. S.-All coastwise
shipping wss held 10 port today and in
tc,ming liners gave the Hook a wide
berth with theexception OF the Cunsrder
Lucauia as a result of swooping, swirl
ling 40-mies-sn-hour gale from the
south which dashed the waters of the
ocean off this port TO mountainous heights
throughout the morning hours. A drench-
ing rain accompanied the storm. Tele-
phone and telegrsphic communication
was seriously interrupted for q while.
All OF the sound steamers were hours
late reaching their piers. The Priscilla
of the Fall River Line was compelled to
lay to of STAFFORD shoal on account OF
an accident to her steering gear. The
rain fall for eight hours and approximate
ed half an inch.

NEW YORK's mortality statistics show
aa average Of 240 murders per annum.
Oaly sixty-fve persons are arrested for
these crimes, or a fraction more than
one arrest for four murders. Thiriy-three
persons are brought to trial, which is
about one.hslf the number arrested, or
one for every eight murders. OF the
tbirty-three little more than half
twenty are convicted. This makes one
conviction for every twelve murders.
Dat Of The twenty persons convicted two
are sentenced to death and three to inn
prisonment for life. 1t would seem that
there is not much more danger in COM
uniting murder in New York than there
Is in running an automobile, and what is
true in New York in equally true in Chi
cago and probably in many of the other
large cities.

EXHIBITION
OF THE NEW
DRESS GOODS,

The new Dress Fabrics are peculiarly
rich and beautiful. This is equally true
Of American stufs, which this season
are more attractive than ever before, and
the rare and elegant things that we
brought over from Paris direct.
Broadcloth, Wolfe, Panama, Serge,
and Cheviot Suitings are in the lead.
The Brosdcloths have been reduced in
weight until they are soft and supple
enough for almost aoy purpose.
The New Striped Broadcloths are the
novelty of the season.
Plsids, 10 blacks, hair lines, broken,
and ombre effec's, are very stylish--of
course, plain effects hold their own.
For automobiling, gol6ng, and all
outing wear, the rough, snappy tweed
are the favorites.
serge for tailor costumes of all kinds
is very good.
An especially pretty selection Ct
Scotch and French plaids is shown fol
children's school dresses.
While there is nothing especially new
in fabrics, the new cOlors and new colol
combinations more than make up for it.
Never before have we had 50 many
new standings of one prime color. Take
purpose, for instance Bishop, prelste,
emIuence, mulberry, egg plant, violet
and manuve-sll are shades of purple,
Then take green Lanier, bropz', liz
ard, csimay, are all new and very popu
lar shades.
Brown 10 all lis shades continues very
good.

TOday's Telegraphic News,
Alleged CrueIties In Korea.

Hong Kong, Oct. 8-Shocking stories
are beginning to leak out concerning the
cruelties the Japanese are perpetrating
ia Korea In the effort TO restore peace
among the inhabitants of the Miksdo's
new dependency.
There is no doubt of the truth of the
reports that General Hsszgs, Who has
issued proclamation, while promising
pardon to these who lay down their arms
at once, threatens vengeance not only
against those who commit further acts OF
violence, but pledges himself 10 extermi'
nate their families as WE'LL
The number of victims Of japanese re-
taliation for attacks by the rebellious
Koreans is Estimated all the way from
10, 900, to 10000. Many of these have
been killed in open fights, but enormous
numbers have literally been mastered.
In hundreds of cases where Japanese
have suffered violence at the natives
hard, mere suspects have been merci.
lessly put to the sword, hanged or shot
down in groups without even the formal
iy OF trials.
The japanese military authorities are
making no particular secret OF the fact
that they are being driven to extremes.
They say they have no choice but to re-
sort to the utmost severity or te driven
from the county.
Ia Seoul, where the Japanese gsrri-
son numbers about 1000, the natives
violence takes the form mainly of as
fascinating, rioling having been sup
pressed, but in the country districts
scarcely day passes that reports are
no. received from some district of mob
violence by the Korean and bloody re-
prisals by the japanese.
The japanese force Of about 10000
men In the interior is divided into small
detschments that the entire country
may be policed as thoroughly as possible,
and, in a number of instances, the ma
tiyes have been able to overwhelm these
by mere force ofnumbers and completely
wipe them out.

TUESDAY EVENING. OFT. 8. 1907.

JUST one American steamer has been
secured to carry coal for the batteshiP
feet at a rate so per cent. greater than
the bids of foreign steamers. Other
American owners are holding out for a
sh!l greater margin over the foreign BIDS
Concerning this the New York Times
well says; ,,
The country has just been favored
with an unmistakable object Lesson on
che nature of the scheme OF ship
subsi9jes. The coaling Of the heet
on its way around South America will
he the chief item Of extra expense
Seoond that of maneuvering In home
voters. The natural and business
Ike gav Of securing this service was 10
advertise for it and give the work to the
lowest bidders. But, when this was
nroposed. the subsidy hunters began
with one accord TO protest against 60
ing into the open market and taxing
tbeir chances with foreign competitors. 10
appease them, they were offered the enof-
nous bonus of 80 per cent. advance 10
Drice over the lowest foreign bidders
Rnf even this enormous and upJnstlhaole
honn.v does not tempt them. a contract
for supplying some ten or fifteen thou
sand tons of coal month is certainly
worth taking. Much more when the DID,
der is ASSURED of half as much again as
sone5ody else will do the work for. But
three Of the four American bidders have
Withdrawn. The fourth explains that his
ship can do the work at the market rate
plus so per cent only because she Is al
ready engaged in the Hawaiian traoe
And so 95 per cent. Of the cosliDg OF the
American fleet isto be done by foreign
colliere. The next time that one OF the
advocates of ship subsidies undertakes 10
tell q committee OF Congress that the
margin of difference lie, after all, not so
verv great and that moderate subsidy
will make it up, this unimpeachable tes-
timonv Of the open market will rise up
10 confute him. Ga the showing in this
transaction, it will cost more than hsll
as much again to carry goods in Amer
lean bottoms than it costs to carry them
in foreign bottoms. How much more
NAV be matter of conjecture, but the
American taxpayer will have to make up
more than a third of the total freight
bills of the subsidized ships. Much en-
during creature as he is that prospect
ought 10 siartle him.

DRY CITIES ARE VERY WET.

Plttsburg Dispatch TO New York Times.
"Seud on evening train p unabridgt d

The new clerk in a wholesale liquor
house gasped when he read the order
aud decided the sender was insane.
The old clerk put up % full quarts Of
whisky, 10 pints ofwhisky, and II quart
bottles Of wine packed in straw. Then
he consigned the shipment to East Liver
pool, that arid desert in Ohio, with a
population of over 10000, and not a
single saloon.
Prohibition in East Liverpool and its
reighbor, Wellsville, which is also "dry,"
is not a success, 50 far as prohibiting
the use of intoxicants goes. In addition
TO the vast amount of liquor that is ship
ped into the two cities from Pittsburg,
an average of 500 men from the two
cities go each night to Pittsburg or Iron
ton, Ohio, get all they can drink, and
then 60 back and do their fighting. The
police declare that there has never bten
such lawlessness in the two cities as
since the local-cption law went into
effect.
