GETTING AFTER
COMBINATIONS
Conference to Consider Means
of Remedying Trust
Evils.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, May 2S.-Delegates ap-
pointed by the governors of a score of
states are in Chicago today to take
part in the national conference on
trusts and combinations to be held
here during the next four days under
the auspices of the National Civic
federation.> Several hundred repre-
sentative Americans are taking part
in the meeting, which is expected TO
be the most important and far-reach-
ing in its results of any of its kind
ever held in the United States. In ad-
dition to the national and many state
and city governments, important conf
mercial, manufacturing. agricultural,
legal, economic, political and labor Or
carnations are represented, and as a
esult, the subject of trusts will be
discussed from many standpoints.
The most important problem to be
considered is what amendment, If
any, should be made in the Sherman
antitrust law.
According to the preliminary an
nouncement of Secretary Ralph NJ.
Easley, of the National Civic fedora
tion the subjects to, be discussed fall
unOer Cnree nea0S, as fOElOWS:
/. Government power over corpora
tions engaged In interstate commerce;
the division of power under the con-
stitution between the nation and the
state.
2. How should the corporation be
constructed? Should there be ma
tiOnal corporations as we'll as state ?
The basis of capitalization of corpora
tions; their internal control; provi-
sions looking to the protection of in
vestOrs and the stockholders, as well
as fair dealing with the public; dis
tinction between public service and
other corporations.
3. The just and practicable limits
of the restriction and regulation, fed
eral and state, of combinations in
transportation, production, distribu-
tion and labor.

AMERICAN STRENGTH IN THE HAGUE CONFERENCE unknown

representation. The treaty of 1899 in
one article reads:
.'The conditions On which the pow
ers which are not represented at the
international peace conference can
adhere to the present convention shall
form the subject of subsequent
agreement among the contracting
powers"
1t therefore becomes necessary for
the Washington state department to
enter into correspondence with every
one of the twenty~seven powers rep
resented at the first conference to Sc
cure their assent to the admission of
the South and Central Americans.
This was finally done, however, and
ident, from the fact that no power
can be admitted to the second con-
ference unless it has adhered to the
convention of 1899.
So, on June IA, the day before the
opening of the second conference. it
has been arranged that the delegates
of all the American states that have
accepted the invitation shall assem-
BILE at The Hague and, by their sig
natures to a protocol. formally ac-
COlupIlSu Iuclf duuSSlOu 10 Ln0 arDl-
tration convention. When the con-
ference meets on the following day
this protocol will be laid before 1t,
and resolution will be adopted, ad-
mitting the new delegates to member
ship.
1t has been anticipated that all the
American delegates will act in unison
on all propositions submitted to the
conference. This is declared by the
present diplomatic agents of the
American state to be an adhesive con-
ception. 1t Is true that on some of
the most important propositions to
come before the conference the
American delegates will agree in prin-
ciple. 1t Is equally true that they
will differ widely in matters of de-
tall and in respect to the best meth
ods of applying these great princi-
pies. Touching the most important
of these propositions and the cne that
1t Is confidently believed will really
yield substantial results-that looking
to wider extension of the process
OF settling disputes by arbitration
the American delegates will present
an unbrpken front.

RUSSIAN PREMIER
WARNS THE DOUMA
Stolypin Announces a Conflict
Between the Government
and the House.
Tln,aa

A..ociated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
st. Petersburg, May 2S.-Premier
Stolypin caused a sensation in the
lower house of parliament today by
Unexpectedly announcing that seri-
Gus conflict existed between the house
and the government, and scored an ef-
fective point by showing that the
agrarian committee OF the house
had proceeded to solve the whole
agrarian problem without consulting
with any representative of the govern
ment. The premier ended his state
ment with announcing that the for
chile expropration of land would not
be permitted and warned the house
that the speeches exciting the peasants
were beginning to cause a dangerous
agitation in the provinces which the
government was determined to re-
strain.
The premier added that il the prin-
ciple of the forcible appropriation OF
land was permitted to prevail, So
cial upheaval, of which history would
not be able to show a parallel, would
be precipitated. The premier then an
nounced the governments willingness
to assist the peasants to purchase land
and help them on a broad scale in the
payment of the mortgage interest, but
he firmly asserted that the bill provid-
ing for the appropriation of land could
not be permitted, except in the case of
the exercise of the right OF eminent
domain, in building roads, for irriga-
ton works, etc.

MAY GET FLOUR MILL.
Williston Good Location For Addition.
al Mfll-Rlver Transportation.
SReclal to TIE Evening Tines.

Willtston. May 2S.-Williston has
the prospect of another milling COM
pany locating here. Chas. W. Jenni-
son of the Rugby Touring mills, was
in the city Friday and is highly pleas
ed with the outlook. He did consid-
cradle driving around the country and
says the wheat is of the very best
quality. They are finding good out
let for all their -four now. Should
they put in mill here, it would be
strictly up to date. and the -four would
be of the best, which it would certain
ly be if made from the grain in this
district. If they put in mill at this
point it will make necessary large
number of elevators for storing the
grain. Mr. Jennison is highly in favor
of river transportation oil the grain,
and thinks that the Missouri will be a
great help to mill at this point. He
thinks it will be but a short time un-
til navigation is resumed on the river
here and the outputs of a mill could
be sent to the south on boats as we'll
as by the railroads If the mill is
put in it will have a daily capacity of
300 barrels

Washington, May 28.-Probably not
until the doors of the stately knights
hall are thrown open to the second
conference at The Hague. June Is
next, will it be possible to know the
exact strength of the American con-
tingent among the delegates. At the
first conference only two American
states were representative United
States of America and the United
States of Mexico.
If all the republics of the western
hemisphere take advantage of the op-
portunity to participate in the second
conference no less than twenty-one
icas will be represented, including
Cuba. Haiti and Santo Domingo.
Some of the American republics
will have no representatives at the
conference, but it is impossible to say
even now who will be the absentees.
In some cases financial considerations
have operated to prevent certain Of
the smaller republics from naming
delegates. Others are actually at war
or in a state of revolution, and even
anarchy. A few are actually indif-
ferent to the international gathering.
On the whole, however. there has
been generous response from most
of the American republics to the cars
invitation to join in the deliberations
of the second conference and It is
certain that the American represen-
tation will be large. The fact is that
only twenty-seven powers signed the
treaty of July 20, 1899, providing "for
the specific settlement of interna-
tional disputes" and. unless there is
an enlarged representation at the
second conference from the eastern
hemisphere 1T might be possible for
three Americas to dominate the pro-
ceedings, II there were the slightest
sign of division in the eastern ranks.
American forethought Is responsible
for this large representation from the
west, for it was owing entirely to the
effort of the Washington state depart
ment that Russia was induced to In
clude the Central and South American
republics in the invitation to the con-
ference, and the same department
also was the means of inducing the
republics of this hemisphere to ac-
cept the Russian invitation. It was
not an easy task to arrange for this

MIXED WITH DYNAMITE.

Mandan, N. D., May 2s.-John Ru-
zick and Joseph Sivihla, two farmers,
were seriously injured by the prema-
ture explosion of a charge of dyna-
mite in the Little Heart valley. The
parties were using dynamite for the
purpose of blasting rock, and Sivihla
had drilled hole and placed the
charge of dynamite therein and was
tamping the charge when it exploded.
Mr.. Ruzick's left hand was partly
blown off, and it was necessary to
amputate the members just above the
wrist. Sivihla had his jaw broken
and had sustained bruises all over his
body and internal injuries by the con-
cussion which threw him a great
number of feet. Ruzick was taken to
the Bismarck hospital for treatment
and Sivthla is lying at his home in a

TWO FORTS ARE
TO Be DROPPED
Assiniboine and Keogh Sta
tions in Dakota Department
to Be Discontinued.

Associated Press to The Evening" Times,
st. Paul, Minn., May 2S.-An order
received at the army building today
from the war department announces
the abandonment of two of the most
important forts in the department of
Dakota, and the withdrawal of the
four troops of the Second cavalry now
stationed at Fort Smelling.
The abandoned posts are Forts AS
sinnlboine and Keogh, Mont. The
former is garrisoned by the headquar-
ters. staff, band and troops A, B, C and
D. Second cavalry, and they will pro-
ceed by rail from Havre. Mont, to
Des Moines, Iowa. Assinniboine is by
far the largest fort in the United
States in point of area, comprising
100000 acres. It is eXpensively built,
the buildings being of the most
modern and up-to-date types of their
kinds. Situated near Havre, Mont, it's
boundaries are contiguous to the
British possessions, and for years was
considered the most important fort in
the northwest, owing to the many
trails the Indians had made through
its reservation in order to reach the
British border after committing bold
depredahons on this side of the line.
1t was through this reservation that
Sitting Bull and his tribe of Sioux
traversed after committing the Custer
massacre. The post was established
in May, 1879.
Fort Keogh, the other abandoned
post, is located several miles from
Miles City, Mont, and was built soon
after the Custer massacre in the sum-
mer of 1876, by Gen. Miles. In area
it is next to Fort Assinniboine in size,
comprising $1,000 acres. At present
it is garrisoned by two troops OF the
Sixth cavalry who are ordered to the
Philippines.
The cavalry from Smelling is order
ed to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, and will
proceed to it's new station by march
ing. In addition to the cavalry, the
Thirtieth battery of field artillery at
Smelling will also get change of sta
ton, as previously stated in the Dis
patch. Its destination is Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, and it also will proceed by
marching to its new station. The
changes will all take place within the
next two weeks, June 10 being the
limit to the date that all will be on
the move.
The cavalry which leaves Fort
Smelling is to be replaced by four
troops-E, F, G and H-of the Fourth
cavalry, upon the arrival of the latter
in the United States from the
Philippines some time in July, but the
artillery battery Is not to be replaced

KEEPING TAB ON QUAKEs.
Trying to Find Whether City Is n
Be Destroyed Again.

San Francisco, May 2s.-Prof.
George Davidson, president of the
Seismological Society of America, said
at meeting of the society held yes
terday at the United States weather
bureau Office, that there has been no
difference in the level of the earth's
surface about San Francisco bay since
1877. when he first began his investi-
cation of earthquakes. Since that
date he has had a solid concrete pier
sunk off the Sausalito shore, and ac-
cording to the most minute measure
ments, the change that has taken place
is too small for his calculations. No
changes of level have taken place,
says Prof. Davidson, except on al
luvial or filled lands. The level of
solid rock is not changed to any per-
ceptible degree.
A report was received at the meet
ing of a new sesismograph invented by
Prof. Odenbach, one of the Jesuit
Fathers of st. Ignasius college, Cleve-
land, which has the advantage of re-
cordtng vibrations at depth in the
earth and transmitting the record to
tho surface.

Almost all of these American dele
gates are deeply interested in thessuc-
cess of the efforts to have the con-
ference endorse the famous Drago
doctrine, which inhibits the use of
force by nation to collect debts due
its citizens from another government.
But there is a wide difference among
them as to the extent to which the
doctrine should be supplied. or at
least as to the form in which the
principle should be introduced as q
tenet Of international law. Even the
most sanguine American delegates
realize that 1t is quite improbable that
the conference can be induced to ac-
cept this doctrine in it's severity. All
Mr.. Root hoped to accomplish was to
secure some general understanding
as to the extent to which force might
be used in the collection of debts and
the conditions under which it might
be applied-he did not believe that
there would be total abandonment
of the right to use force.
Limitation of armament concerns
the South and Certral Americans
deeply, because OF the restraint upon
their natural development that would
be imposed by the necessity OF MAIN
tanning large ornaments, and 1t is
understood that they will generally,
but not as unit, support the effort
to be made by the United States del
egates, If not by those from England
and Spain, to have this subject dis
cussed by the conference.
1t is distinctly stated that no men,
ace is conveyed to the powers of Eu-
rope and Asia by the presence in
the conference of this large American
delegation and by what. at first
thought, would appear to be con-
certed action among the delegates, for
each and all retain the largest liberty
of individual action. But even If the
condition were otherwise, beyond the
moral effect produced upon the world
by large measure of support for Ger
tain propositions, the Americans could
not hope to completely influence or
direct the outcome of the second
Hague conference. because the issues
there presented are not decided by
vote, nor is there any means of CO.
ercing unwilling powers into accept
ing any proposition.

tering the trade conditions. The mill
lers allege that they are not getting
their share of the prosperity and they
purpose to find out the reason why.

procity with foreign countries.
Secretary Taft will address the con-
yention tomorrow. Clement B. Sten
of Milwaukee, will address the meet
ing, on the subject of political econ
omy of the milling business. and A.
