New Developments May
Rob the Alton of Its
Immunity

LENNOX, Mass, Sept. 5.--Attorney
General Charles ]. Bonaparte last
night issued a statement regarding
the Standard Oil case in the Illinois
court. The attorney generals state
ment follows.
"On August IA, Judge Lands asked,
in substance, that the department of
justice consider portions of the tran
script of testimony III the case of the
United States against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana in order to de-
termine whether the Chicago & Alton
Railroad company, it's officers and en-
ployes, were entitled to the benefits of
an agreement assuring it and them of
immunity against criminal prosecution
in connection with the granting of GER
tain rebates to the Standard Oil COM
pany.
"The department, in compliance with
the desire of Judge Lands, examined
the above mentioned records and care
fully investigated the entire subject.
and as result of such investigation.
the attorney general on August 29
wrote to Edwin Sims, United States
district attorney at Chicago, inform
ing him in substance that the agree
ment was shown to have been made in
Mr. Sims predecessor in office; that
Morrison's action appears to have been
duly authorized at the time by the
department.; that in the opinion of the
department the arrangement had
greatly facilitated the indictment and
conviction of the Standard Oil COM
pany and that while certain portions
of the evidence might be open to un-
favorable comment, the department
regarded the government bound in
good faith and also as a matter of
public policy to give effect to the
agreement.
"Mr. Sims was instructed to read
this letter when the grand jury recon-
vened on September 8, and to take
such further action toward the fore
going end as might seem to the court
and himself appropriate in the prem
ises
"The department learns that Mr.
Sims did not comply with these in
structions by reason of having had
called to his attention very recently
new and, in his judgment, material
facts, which he thought should be sub
mitted to the department for its furth-
er consideration before It's conclusion
should be finally announced. For this
purpose he asked and was granted by
the court delay of three weeks. The
department is not yet advised as to
what are the facts thus ascertained
by Mr., Sims. 1t has great confidence
in his sound judgment and his devo-
ton to duty and it awaits his reply
before taking any further action in
the premises. Inasmuch as the cir
cumstances of the case may be liable
to misconception, it is deemed proper
to submit now the present statement
to the public"

WIFE ARRESTED
BY The POLICE
Officers Believe She Is I'M
pliCated in Murder of
Her Husband

CLEVELAND, Sept 5.-Develop-
ments in the investigation into the
death of John ). Philips, coal operator,
broker, banker and clubman, who was
murdered Monday morning, took a
sensational turn late yesterday, when
Mrs. Philips, widow of the deceased,
was taken into custody by Chief of
Police Stamberger, of the aristocratic
suburb of East Cleveland.
Mrs. Philips has been in a highly
nervous state since the tragedy early
Monday morning, after which the an
nauncement was made that her hus-
band had been shot and mortally
wounded by burglar. Yesterday she
collapsed and was not able to attend
the funeral, which took place from the
house with only immediate relatives
present
1t was shortly following this that
Chief Stamberger announced that after
a conference with Deputy Coroner
Houek, who handled the inquest, As
sistant Prosecutor Mooney and others,
and that four deputies would guard
her in her hore Gntil she recovered
suffic emily to be taken before a JUS
tice of the peace.
The police are reticent in the case,
and whether they really believe Mrs.
Philips culpable in the murder, or
whether they merely believe that she
can give facts concerning the tragedy
which would solve the mystery sur
rounding it, does not appear at this
time
The inquest shows that DR.. o. L.
Richardson was not summoned until
four hours after Mr.. Phillips had been
shot He fdhnd the wounded man in
bed and realizing his serious condi-
tion called DIR. Rhodes in conference.
After the doctors had arrived Philips
asked them to leave the bedroom while
he held a conference with his wife.
When they were recalled Philips, on
learning that he had but a short time
to live, said that he wanted as little
notoriety as possible connected with
the affair.
There is blood on the stairway and
in the bed, but no evidence OF strug-
gle or of the presence of burglars,
who Mrs. Philips asserts did the
shooting.

press But Wreck a Freight.

P1TTSBURG, Sept. Strain wreck
ers were at work last evening on the
Baltimore & Ohio at Scothaven and
Sutterville, 80 miles east of here.
Spikes were drawn from eastbound
tracks with the probable purpose of
wrecking the New York express, but
the wreckers were deceived by the
number of freight and passenger trains
passing these points and the express
got through before the spikes were
drawn.
The next train following, a fast
freight and express for Philadelphia
and New York was wrecked. The en-
gine and IL cars were derailed.

PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES
Senator Daniels the Man
Who Elected to Pay His
Fathers Debts

LYNCHBURG, Va, Sept. 5.-Sena-
Southern democrats would like to see
nominated for the presidency next
year, was 65 years old today and was
reminded of the Fact by receiving
numerous congratulations from his
fellow townsmen and from friends ana
admirers in all sections of the country,
Senator Daniel was born in Lynchburx
and has always made his home here.
1t is now nearly 40 years since Sem
ator Daniei began his political ca.
reer as member OF the Virginia
house. In 1881 he was defeated as
democratic candidate for governor by
w. E. Cameron, and returned to law
practice. He wen: to congress in 1886,
and the following year succeeded
General Malone in the United States
senate.
There is one interesting chapter in
the life of Senator Daniel with which
the general public Is not familiar. His
father was Judge William Daniel Of
Lynchburg, man Of prominence and
wealth. Although his fortune was
considerably impaired by the war, he
still had lucrative practice, ard dur
ing the 10 years which succeeded he
was among those who foresaw the
great commercial development of the
country, and interested himself in
numerous speculative ventures. But
he was :sanguine to the point of be-
ing visionary. Everything seemed to
him promising, and it was his habit
first to subscribe to $4,000 worth Of
stock and then to ask what was the
nature of the enterprise.
In 1873, when he died, 1t was found
that his estate was hopelessly insol-
vent. There were claims by creditors
over and above the assets amounting
to more than 100000. These claims
the son John assumed. He had been
practicing law in his fathers ONCE.
but there was no obligation on him
of q moral or legal character The
schemes and speculations had been
entered into without his knowledge or
advice. The bankruptcy law afforded
wide door for escape. He could have
wiped the slate clean and started the
world anew. But he chose otherwise.
To him 1t seemed that the only hon
orable course was to pay his fathers
debts in full and with interest. il it
took all the earnings of his life to do
1t. Accordingly he notified the crti-
tors of his intention and began upon
the herculean task.
That was nearly 35 years ago, and
during almost the entire time that has
elapsed since then Senator Daniel has
paid over the. greater part of his in.
come to his fathers creditors. He has
lived on less than $4,000 a year. When
in Washington he has lived at the
cheaper hotels, and although crippled
and dependent on crutches, he hardly
knows what it is to ride in a cab.
But at SIS years of age he has the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
discharged his fathers old obligation
in full

Provision for School Buildings.

The law should amply provide for
school buildings and property as modern
and suitable for school purposes as can
be obtained within the limits of the ap-
preparations made for school purposes,
and that all school buildings should be
sanitary to the highest degree and have
able for such buildings, and which in
the judgment of the board of educa-
ton may be necessary: and that all the
money appropriated for school purposes
should be wisely and economically dis
bu-sed. under thorough business sys-
likely to bring the best results from
the expenditure of such funds.
"Endeavoring to put aside preconceived
ideas and all personal opinions, and keep
ing the foregoing requisites of a wise
school law in mind. the committee has ex-
amined the present law. under which the
schools are being conducted, IN an effort
to determine how far such law adequately
provides for such matters; and the COM

present law has not been hastily thrown
together, but reflects a thorough compre-
hension on the part of the committees in
Congress charged with the duty of prepar-

that Congress. in the present law. has
