HARTMAN WILL ESCAPE.
Wall Street Men Rely on Statute of
Limitations.

New York, June 10.-The decision
of the Federal authorities not to in
stitute criminal proceedings against
E. H. Hartman in connection with
the railroad operations was the prin-
cipal subject of discussion on Wall
street. Mr.. Hartman spent the day
at his country home, and his asso-
ciates would not discuss the matter
for publication.
Interests friendly to Mr.. Hartman
assert a belief that the government
will abandon it's case against the So
called Hartman lines. The idea that
Mr.. Hartman would be criminally
prosecuted was never very seriously
entertained in financial circles. Mr.
Harriman's friends say that there
has been no basis for such action
and that most of the alleged illegal
acts imputed to him are barred by
the statute of limitations. The stock
markets response to the news was a
substantial rise in the Hartman is
sues, with corresponding advances
in the list.

DESTROYS THE TRUTH.
British War Office Suppresses Honest
History Of Boer War.

London, June 11.-England is not
to know the real truth about the
Boer War. To save the regulations
of certain well-known generals and
officials, the war Office has had Col
Onel Henderson's unfinished history
of the Boer War" destroyed. 1t was
written as the official history by the
greatest English writer on military
subjects since Napier, but its author
died before completing it.
After Colonel Henderson's death
the war Office examined his work and
found that it was much too out
spoken about the blunders and graft
that distinguished the campaign. 1t
has therefore entirely suppressed his
work, and order the compilation of
an entirely new history by a staff of
officers under the direction of Cen
eral Sir Frederick Maurice, who is
perhaps the only military writer who
could adequately fill Colonel Hen
derson's place. But the new official
history will deal gently with the rep
utations of the distinguished mud
dlers.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
LABEL ALL FRUIT.
Growers Find Several Ways of ObeyIng
New Law.

Salem.-Now that the fruitshipping
season has begun, growers are con-
fronted with the necessity of comply
ing with the new law, enacted by
the last Legislature, requiring that
every box or package of green fruit
shall be marked with the name and ad-
dress of the grower and packer. Here
at Salem there are various methods of
complying with the law, and some fruit
is going out with no mark at all. The
only fruit shipped thus far is straw
berries, packed in small boxes, "a in
"a crate. Some growers stamp their
names and addresses upon each small
box, so that the consumer will know
by whom the fruit was grown, and SO
that if there is anything wrong with
it the dealer will know where to make
the complaint. Others mark the name
and address only upon the crate. In
almost all instances the stamp placed
upon the box or crate gives only the
name and address, and does not say
whether the person whose name appears
is grower or packer, or both. The sec
tion of the new law bearing on the sub
.ject is as follows:
"Any person, firm, association or cor
poration engaged in growing, selling or
packing green fruits of any kind within
the State of Oregon shall be required,
upon packing any such fruit for mar
ket, whether intended for sale within
or without the State of Oregon, to
stamp, mark or label plainly upon the
outside of every box or package Of
green fruit so packed the name and
postoffice address of the person, firm
association or corporation packing the
same; provided, further, that when the
grower of such fruit be other than the
packer of the same, the name and post
office of such grower shall also promi
nently appear upon such box or pack
age as the grower of such fruit

WANTS BETTER SERVICE,
Attorney Files Formal Complaint
Against Southern Pacific.

Salem-John +. Logan, prominent
Portland attorney, has fled in the of
fee of the Oregon Railroad Commission
a vigorous complaint against the South.
ern Pacific because of its irregular and
uncertain passenger train service north.
ward. There is no complaint concern
ing south bound trains.
Mr.. Logan sets forth the incidents of
recent effort to catch train from a
Valley town to Portland. He says the
train was reported several hours late,
but that station agents were not kept
advised as to the time the train would
arrive, with the result that he ant
many others were caused much incon-
venience and loss of time. He wants
the commission to compel the railroad
to establish schedule it can follow
and then keep its agents advised of the
time of trains that are delayed.
The afternoon trains going north
through the Willamette Valley have not
been regular for nearly three months.
Farmers near Heppner have filed a
complaint against the o. r. & N, as
serting that the freight rates between
Heppner and Portland are excessive.
The complaint sets forth that the rate
on wheat between Heppner and Port
land, 1913 miles, is Is cents per hun
dred, while the rate from Pendleton to
Portland, 23l miles, is 15a cents per
hundred. On other commodities the
same difference prevails.

Price Of Prures Raised.

Salem.-Probably influenced by rapid
advances in the price of prunes in Cali
fornia, packers here have been raising
their offers for 1907 contracts and ON
June Al cents for the 1850 size was
freely offered. This price has been re-
fused by several growers, however. Ac-
cording to the latest advices from Cali
fornia, a 4-cent basis price was offered
there several days ago, or 81 cents
for the 1850 size. Now that buyers
are active and the market advancing,
the growers are doing great deal Of
figuring before making contracts. At
the same time, it is reported that quite
a number of contracts have been made
w. c. Tillson & Co. report having made
contracts for about 45 cars.

Washington, May S.-That e. Fl.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, is
immune from criminal prosecution
as the result of his testimony before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in New York recently; that the
| Question of the prosecution, of btu
minous coal-carrying railroads for
/ discriminating against independent
operators should be left in the hands
of the Attorney-General, and that
prosecution of the anthracite coal
roads for maintaining trust will
begin in Philadelphia, probably next
week, were conclusions reached at a
notable conference held at the White
House last night
The Hartman case and the cases
of the coal-carrying roads were dis
cussed for three hours by President
Roosevelt, five members of the Cab
met, two members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and special
council for the government.
Following the general conference,
Attorney-General Bonaparte re-
mained with the President to dis
cuss the harvester trust. 1t Is
thought not unlikely that the ques-
tion of prosecution of that organiza-
tion will be left in the Attorney
Generals hands.
The roads involved include the
Delaware, Susquehana & Schuylkil,
the Philadelphia & Reading, the Le-
high Valley, the Delaware e Hud-
son, the New York, Susquehana e
Western, the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western, the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, and the Erie. The Penn
sylvania and one or two others may
become involved as the suit pro-
crosses, but at this time no formal
will be filed against them.
Those who participated in the con-
ference were: The President, Secre--
tary of State Root, Secretary of War

IN RUSSIAN PRISON.
American Citizen Wore Red Necktie
in Russian CITY.

Riga, Russia, June 1.-Two cases
of great interest to Americans were
heard at a special session of the Rus
sian Supreme Court, sitting here.
One was the case of Theodore Smith,
of Astoria, Oregon, who was arrest
ed because he had on red necktie
and was charged with being in SYM
Ipathy with the rebels in the Baltic
provinces. The other was the case
Iof August Sibbul, an Esthonian farm
er, who had been arrested for read
| ing a translation of the American
Declaration of Independence to a
meeting of peasants.
Both men had been condemned to
death, but influential friends had OBJ
tanned for them new trial After
hearing the evidence produced, the
court sentenced Smith to prison for
10 months and Sibbul for Is months.
Both men were defended by Vladi-
mir Chvolsen, an eminent criminal
lawyer. He is trying now to have
Smith, naturaliEed citizen of the
United States admitted to bail, as he
will carry the case to the Russian
Senate Sibbul said to your CORES

heartfelt sentiments to the American
people, whose glorious declaration of
independence will be read now in the

hard suffering, but I am glad l read
it. l have not been any way a rebel
or a terrorist and know only my

"On the anniversary of the declar-
alton of American independence
try to express with my fellow-suffer-
ers here our respect for this great
historical day. We will tear up our
shirts and paint the pieces with the
stars and stripes and so make little
flags, which we will wave
out of the prison windows"

Increased Output of Steel.

Pittsburg, June S.-Despite rum
ors in the iron and steel market
abroad as well as in this country a
canvass of the industry warrants the
statement that the last half of 1907
and the first half of the year 1908
will witness the largest producing
capacity in the history of the United
States and Canada. 1t Is estimated
that new furnace construction will
add at least 100000 tons to the.
capacity. Last year the
local output was 25,307,000 tons. A
stimulus will be given
