BOASTS THE OCTOPUS
COMMERCE COMMISSION SENDS
REPORT TO CONGRESS ON
OIL INVESTIGATION.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The inter
state commerce commission has SEM
to congress a report of the investiga-
tions made by it under the Tillman-
Gillespie resolution concerning the re-
lations of common carriers by rail to
the production and distribution of Oil.
The report covers the distribution Of
petroleum and its products east of the
Mississippi river and, incidentally, the
Kansas and Texas fields. The report
points out generally the methods by
which the Standard Oil company has
built up and perpetuated its monopoly
and the relations of transportation
agencies to that monopoly" 1t is as
serted that ''the ruin of its compet-
itors has been a distinct part of the
policy of the Standard Oil company
in the past. Systematically and per-
s~istently pursued"

WHOLLY G~ROUNDLESS
PRESS REPORTS OF A POSSIBLE
WAR WITH JAPAN AS SENT
FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, Feb. War with ia
pan is the remotest of possibilities.
The difference between the two cCun-
tries, owing to the refusal of San
Francisco to permit Japanese pupils
to enter the public schools of that
city, never has reached the stage
where it created a fear of an armed
clash between the two countries.
Reports of possible wal that have
been sent out from Washington are
not only misleading but are wholly
unjustified by any facts in possession
of either government. The relations
between the United States and the
empire of Japan eve We're more cor
dial than they are today. The Japa-
nese diplomatic representatives are
we'll acquainted with the situation and
President Roosevelt has succeeded in
securing the consent of Japan to d
hasis of compromise which will settle
the whole difficulty within a year or
two. provided the people of San Fran
cisco do their part.

KILLS MANY MINERS
TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OCCURS
IN A COAL MINE IN WEST
VIRGINIA.

Elkins, w. Va. Feb. 5.-The third
mine explosion in West Virginia with
in two weeks occurred at the Davis
Coal and Coke company's mine No. %
at Thomas, near here, and twenty-five
or thirty miners are said to have been
killed.
The disaster occurred shortly after
Z O'Clock a. m. Late in the day the
tlrst rescue party entered the mine.
The bodies of six foreigners and one
American We're recovered at a dis
lance of 100 feet from the shaft. Be-
fore further progress could be made a
deadly wave of poisonous fumes en-
veloped the rescuing party, which was
composed of General Manager OFT,
D. M. Boyd, Superintendent Henry
Mine, Daniel Jones, mine boss, Arthur
Steward and John Jenkins. Before
the rescuing party could reach the
surface, Jones, the mine boss, died
from suffocation.
There is no possible hope that the
men still in the mine are alive. While
the exact number of entombed men is
not known at this time, the number is
estimated at about thirty, and it is
thought probable that there might be
more.

GOVERNMENT T
Result Of Elections to Reichstaa In
Germany.

Berlin, Jan. 2G.-The government
has won a definite victory in the gen
eral election for a Jew reichstag. The
Liberal, Radical and Conservative
parties, supporting Prince Won Bue-
lows colonial policy, have. won at
least twenty seats, but more impor-
tant to the government than the sue
cess of its colonial plans is the smash
ing defeat administered to the Social
lists, who will lose seventeen or eight
cen seats.
This is the first election since 1887
that the Socialists have not increased
their representation in the ~reichstag
by from five to twenty seats. They
have lost especially in several large
cities, among these places being Bres-
lau, Halle, Magdeburg, Leipzig and
Koenigsberg.
The results of the election have
been officially declared in 361 districts
suit of a total of 397. The Socialists
lost seventeen seats and gained one.
The Center party lost two and gained
one. The two Conservative parties
lost three and gained four. The Mod
crate Radicals lost che and gained
three. The National Liberals lost six
and gained ten. The Agrarians lost
four and gained three. In the 361
districts only 209 members were elect
ed, second ballots being necessary in
1852 districts.

CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
trand Jury Indicts Alleged Theatrical
Trust,

New York, Feb. 1.-The grand jury
has returned an indictment against
he so-called theatrical trust, charg-
ing conspiracy and restraint of trade.
The indictment is against Nixon &
Zimmerman, klaw & Erlanger, Charles
Frohman and AL Hayman, who are
alleged to constitute the trust. 1t
was handed up to Judge Foster in the
court of general sessions. Alfred Lau-
terbach, Of counsel for the defend
ants, was in court and at once COM
municated with several of his clients
instructing them to appear in court
TO give bail.
Messrs. Frohman and Hayman are
now in Europe.
The Indictment sets forth in detail
he acts of the so-called trust and its
efforts to prevent certain theatrical
enterprises from playing in any other
than Independent theaters. Some of
the witnesses before the grand jury
testified that in certain cases the
trust compelled them to make con-
tracts with the trust to do the book
ing of plays, charging 3311s per cent
of the net receipts for the booking.
The Indictment alleges that the So
called trust controls more than SOC OF
the prominent theaters in the country.
1t is charged that in these contracts
between the theaters and the nom
bers of the trust there was a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade.

Senator Warner of Missouri, telling

AT LEAST A DOZEN PERSONS ARE
KILLED BY A SNOWSLlDE
IN COLORADO.

Salida, Colo, Feb. Sat least a
dozen lives are believed to have been
lost in a terrific snowslide that came
down Monarch mountain about 9
o'clock at night, completely over
whelming three business houses and
burying their occupants under fifty
feet of snow and dirt.
The wrecked buildings are Steve
SINNERS saloon, Fred Mason's room
inghouse, and Fred Schrader's restau-
rant, the inmates of which had no
warning and no time to get out before
the crash came. Several of them,
however, have been rescued.
Great confusion reigns at the scene
of the disaster and it is difficult to Sc
cure details. The snow is waist deep
on the level at Monarch and, although
help has been asked from Salida, eigh-
teen miles east.

PROSECUTION is BRIEF.
Presents States Side of Thaw Case ii

presents states S,Ge OF nav case IN
Two Hours.
New York, Feb. l.-The case of the
people against Harry X. Thaw, charged
with the murder OF Stanford White,
was presented 10 the jury in less than
wv hours OF the morning session of
the trial and at the afternoon session
Attorney John B. Gleason made the
opening address for the defense.
Assistant District Attorney Caravan
outlined the case for the prosecution,
occupying less than ten minutes in
narrating in Il conversational one the
events on The night of the tragedy.
He did not go beyond the immediate
events preceding the shooting on the
Madison Square Roof Garden. The
prosecution decided to let the evidence
Of actual facts prove the motive.
Mr.. Caravan declared in his opening
address that Thaw's act was DELHI
crate, Dremeditated and Intentional
murder. He walked up to the archi.
iect when he had determined to kill,
wheeled and faced him and then fired
a bullet into his brain.
Before the prosecution began the
introduction of its evidence District
Attorney jerome secured from the
court and with consent of Thaw's
counsel an order that all witnesses
except experts should be excluded
from the room.

lime that Mrs. William Thaw, the
prisoners mother, will take the stand
in his behalf and will probably tell
some of the ~escapades of his youth.

Their arose and left. She was followed
a)y Mrs. Harry x. Thaw and May
Mackenzie. Thaw seemed depressed
as his mother II wife walked by.

important witness. The prisoner
thonght an exception might be made
in the case of his mother and wife,
but his lawyers advised them to leave
with the rest.
Thaw flushed a vivid red as Mr..
Caravan. in IA loud voice, called the
name of the first witness. He was
Lawrence White, the nineteen-year-old
son of the dead architect.
AS the youth stepped to the witness
chair Tllaw cast his eyes upon the
table before him and did not lift them
once during the brief examination OF
the young man. Whites testimony
was ~unimportant, He was with his
father at dinner the night of the
tragedy. but left him before he went
10 the Madison Square Roof Garden.
The other witnesses for the prose
cution were called in rapid order.
They were the eyewitnesses to the
tragedy and added nothing new TO
what has long been familiar reading
30 the public. They testified that fol
lowing the shooting Thaw declared of
White: He ruined my wife,
When his wife said to him: See
what a fix you are in." it is testified
shat 1haw replied: "Dearie, | have
probably saved your life"

From Admiral Evans.

Washington, Feb. Pin uneGuivocal
terms President Roosevelt has ap-
proved Admiral Davis entire action
in connection with his visit to Kings
ton, Jamaica, to render aid to the
stricken city, and in addition request
ed the secretary of the navy to ex-
press to Admiral Davis his heartiest
commentator of all that he did.
The long expected report of Ad-
miral Davis of the circumstances
leading up to the withdrawal of the
fleet from Kingston reached the navy
department and was at once laid be-
fore the president. Inasmuch as the
president already has announced that
the diplomatic phase is a closed Incl
dent, the report itself will not be made
public, but Secretary Metcalf gave
out the letter of Admiral Evans, COM
mander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet,
warmly commencing Admiral Davis
for his conduct of a situation (which
was, to say the least, somewhat en-
barrassing." The admiral remarks
further that it was particularly for
tunate that there was at hand an Off
Ger such as Admiral Davis to deal
with the problem which arose.
The correspondence is supplement-
ed by a strong letter of commendation
of Admiral Davis by the president and
by Secretary Metcalf, who adds his
approval and commentator of Adj
miral Davis distinguished service to
humanity"

Washington, Jan. ga new effort
has been started to bring about a eau
Gus of Republican members of the
house to consider the propriety of an
extra session of the next congress to
deal with the question of tariff re-
vision.
Representatives Cooper of Wiscon-
sin and STEVENSON of Minnesota have
been circulating petitions for a caucus
and have disclosed the fact that there
is a strong tariff revision sentiment
in the Middle West. Altogether six
petitions are in circulation. Mr..
Cooper obtained the signatures of all
the ten Republican members Of the
Wisconsin delegation except Babcock
and Minor.
Representative Butler Ames OF Bos-
ton, a close friend of President Roose-
welt, has attempted to develop the
sentiment of the house by appealing
to members of different state congress
sional delegations. 1t is under his
general supervision that the petitions
now are being circulated.
The signatures of only fifty Repub-
lican congressman are necessary to
call a caucus and such progress has
been made that the r%evisionists have

The standpatters will fight and de-
clare they can defeat the tariff re-
visionists in caucus if a caucus be
called for.
