Att0rney-General and Judge
Kellogg Consult.
Fonr thousand Men Are Let Out al
Panama and Others WIN Follow
Them.


Washington. Aug. ga confer
ence here between Attorney General
Bonaparte. Judge Frank Il. Kellogg,
OF 81, Paul, and Charles b. Morrison.
of Chicago. the latter being special
attorneys for the government in suits
for the dissolution of the Standard
OIL company, has caused considerable
comment and aroused the belief that
the department OF Justice will pro-
coed az once In the effort TO break up
the oil monopoly by terminating the
franchise o. ihe organization.
What strengthens the belief is IN
fact that Attorney General Bonaparte
had lengthy conference some days
ago with Mr.. Morrison, in which the
subject was considered In all It's
phases. II il also intimated that the
attornoy-genoral Is making prepare
lions 10 prosecute individuals of the
Standard OIL company under the pro-
visions OF the sherman law. and that
the action will be pressed without
delay. and with the greatest vigor.
When officials OF the department OF
Justice were questioned on the sub
iect they refused to discuss the mat
ter.
Neither Mr.. Kellogg nor Mr.. Nor
rison would say what was discussed
al the conference.
Il Is thought that John d. Rookie
fellar himself stands In no great
danger Of prosecution. as II is prac-
tieally admitted that the government
would hardly be able to connect him
with the AFFAIRS OF the company to
such an extent as to warrant the
bringing Of criminal proceedings. nj
Il can DE shown. however. that H. II.
Boeers John d. Archibold or any
one else who participated actively in
the management OF the company has
been engaged In maintaining
monopoly harmful 10 the public
there appears TO be no question that
the courts Will be asked TO act aside
from the civil suits that may be
pending.

Hundreds of Shopmen VIII Lengthen
Parade and Build Float-Band
May Appear.
PROGRAM TO BE COMPLETED

Three hundred and slxty-five
strong the Broth erhood of Railway
Carmen will appear In Labor day
parade attired in white duck with
black caps. II was at first suggested
that the brotherhood charter a steam
boat and hold Labor day picnic at
Owens cave, as the brotherhood does
not AFFILIATE with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, but this suggestion
was voted down.
Illinois Central machinists will not
appear in the parade as a body, but
many individuals will march.
Illinois Central boilermakers, 60
strong. will march in the parade,
wearing overalls. and it is probable
that float will be built to exhibit
the class of work done.
Pipe filters and timers, who are
combined into one union, will also
turn out in working uniform.
This leaves only the machinists.
who will not turn out as body.
Last Labor day the entire shop force
turned out, and made fine show
ing. There are over 500 men EN-
ployed in the shops and they length
ened the marching column many
squares.
Final arrangements for the parade
will be made at a meeting OF Labor
day committee sunday. The line of
march. marshals and other officers
will be selected. ard all preparations
for the event completed. There will
be several bands in the parade and
probably few comic features. It
j. stated that the Illinois Central
shop band will appear in full uniform

While the blacksmiths at the shops
have not fully decided to go in the
parade, everything looks favorable,

Attack Those Who Drive
Slowly Enough To Reach.
The Paducah Automobile Club Votes
Money With Which to Prose-
cute Them.
ONE MAN TREATED SEVERELY

To run down and prosecute vicious
and unprincipled persons who have
been guilty of outrageous conduct to-
wards Automobiles is the intent of
members of the Paducah Automobile
club, and steps last night were taken
to carry out this plan. Another i'm
portant action taken by the club at
last nights meeting was the appro-
priation Of 800 towards the COM
pletion Of Benton road from Sharp,
Marshall county. to Benton, a dis
atnce of twelve miles.
Hon. James r. Smith Assaulted.
While driving his automobile Ola
the Benton road near Sharp, Mar
shall county, Mr.. James p. Smith,
Republican nominee for mayor, was
attacked by party of men and
|struck in the face with mud balls, as
|saulted several times with whip and
stoned. Fortunately he lodged the
stones and escaped serious injury.
On reaching the city he reported the
matter to the police, and will en-
|ploye a detective to investigate the
case. AS Mr.. Smith runs his ma
chine at a moderate speed, he was
easily overtaken by natives, who
visited their wrath against scorchers
on him.
Several weeks ago, when Mr.. Jesse
We'll was driving his automobile at a
lively clip on the Lovelaceville road.
he struck an obstruction placed in
the road evidently intended to wreck
some automobile. but his grip was
firm and his machine was saved from
the ditch by his grit in retaining his
grasp.
These, with other similar actions,
have incensed automobile owners to
drastic measures to remedy such out
|rageous conduct, and at last nights
meeting of the club many speeches
we're made. 1t has gotten to point
where Automobiles feel their lives
in danger. They combined and
|agreed to appropriate unlimited capi-
tai towards prosecuting any one sus-
pected of being implicated in any
attacks on motorists.
The Road Appropriation.
The Benton road is conspicuous
for the absence of steep hills, and is
a favorite road for motorists. The
gravel ends near Sharp, Marshall
county, and members of the automo-
bile club voted to Appropriate 800.
which, with the money Appropriated
by Marshall county, will be sufficient
to complete the IL miles OF road to
Benton, making % miles OF good
gravel road from Paducah to Benton.
