Judge Landis Instructs Chicago Grand Jury Not to Investigate
 Relating Charges.
ACTION TAKEN ON GOVERNMENTS MOTION
After Reading Letter From Attorney General Bonaparte the Court De- cded There Would be No Further Prosecution of Road in Connection With Standard Oil Rebates.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-It was decided Tuesday by Judge Landis in the Unit ed States district court that the Chicago and Alton railway shall not be further prosecuted for it's connec- tion with the granting of rebates to the Standard oil company on oil ship ments between Whiting, Ind, and East St. Louis, III.
 It was claimed by Attorney General Bonaparte, whose letter was read to the court by District Attorney Sims, that Mir. Morrison, the predecessor of MT. Sims In office. had promised i'm munity to the Alton road provided it assisted in good faith in the prosecu- ton of the Standard oil company. The attorney general therefore held that it was the duty of the govern ment to see that no further steps to- ward the punishment of the railroad for its part in the granting of the rebates be taken. He asked that the grand jury, which had been summoned at the instance of Judge Landis to in- vestigate the Alton railroad be dis charged.
 Judge Landis, in statement which required fully 30 minutes for it's de- livery, declined to discharge the jury, but instructed it's members that they had no further duty to perform in con nection with the Chicago X Alton rail road.
 The court then called attention to a statement recently issued by President Moffett of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, in which it was claimed that if the Standard oil company was guilty of receiving rebates, no other manufacturer was innocent. The court directed the jury to investigate the conduct of other manufacturers and directed that subpoena be issued for President Moffett.

THE ALTON NEBRASKES RAIE FIGHT
Attorney General Thompson Files His Argument in Injunction Suit
 Against Railroad Commission.
ROADS HAVE NO STANDING IN COURT
Mir. Thompson Declares That Rates Have Not as Yet Been Established by the Commission and Until They Are the Court Has No Jurisdiction in the Matter.

Lincoln, Neb.. Sept 24.-In his brief Omaha in resistance of the applica- tion of the railroads for the temporary injunction against the railroad com missions grain rates, Attorney Gen eral Thompson set out that the fixing of rates is essentially legislative in character and that the railroads are trying to enjoin legislative discretion in their fight against the new rates on grain.
 The brief recites: "It is beyond the power of a court of equity to enjoin such discretion. The complainant has no standing in court of equity to complain of the reasonableness of rates which may be finally adopted and fixed by the railway commission in the exercise of legislative discre- ton with which they are clothed un- der the constitution and statutes of the state. Until the rate has been actually established by the commission the question of its reasonableness or unreasonableness Is not open to in- vestigation by court of equity. The establishment of such a rate is the necessary precedent condition to the interposition of the equity powers
 What the railway commission may do in the matter of fixing rates is yet unknown to themselves. Whether they will fix any rate is still unknown to them, and until rate Is fixed, the question of reasoDableness or unrea- condolences of the same is simply d hypothetical, academic and mooted question; there is therefore nothing to litigate. The court will not hear and determine purely hypothetical. acs demic and mooted question. Nothing has been done by the commission or alleged to have been done by the com mission in the bill of complaint that calls for the exercise of the equity powers of the court in the case at bar"
 The attorney general declared that the notice given to the railroads by the commission relating to the grain schedules did not indicate that any schedule had been determined upon. He insisted that the commission had done nothing since 1t issued the notice that had breathed vitality into the no tice to give it the force and effect of law or to furnish any basis for en- forcement.

THE PRESIDENT PLANS|
Will Leave Washington Next Sum- day on His Western and
 Southern Trip.
THE FIRST STOP WILL BEAT CANTON, 0.
Where the Mckinley MausoIeum Will Be Dedicsted-The Party Then Go to keokuk, Iowa, Thence Down the Mississippi River to Memphis-Trip Will Last Nearly Month.

Washington, Sept. 24.-While the preparations for President Roosevelt's western trip nave not been completed the programme has been sufficiently ar ranged to make it certain that the tour will be one of the most spec tacular ever undertaken by hin. He will leave here next Sunday and will be absent from the seat of gov ernment until the 23d or 24th of october. The trip has three distinc- tive objects: The dedication of the Mckinley mausoleum at Canton, O.; the inspection of the Mississippi river with view to arousing interest in a ship channel from its mouth to Keo- kuk, Iowa, and the Great Lakes and the securing of a period of recreation for the chief executive before the be ginning of the duties of the winter. Incidentally there will be some speech es on the return journey which will deal with current issues.
 The stay at Canton on Monday, the 30th, will be of only little more than sufficient duration to permit the presi- dent to pay his .ibute to the memory of his Immediate predecessor, but he will there meet Vice President Fair banks and a number of other people of note and will make a long speech. He will then proceed direct to Keo kuk, where Tuesday, the 1st of Octo- Der, he will be given notable pub lie reception, deliver an address and hAofxa hu hn Father of Waters, said to be, with the exception of shor' voyage by Presi- dent Pierce, the first trip on the river ever made by president. At Keo- kuk the presidential party will be met by the governors of 23 states, all interested in all projects looking to the deepening of the chan nel of the Mississippi and the general improvement of inland navigation and those on another boat than that on which the president will travel. will constitute his guard of honor to Mem phis, where the party will arrive Oc- tober A. There will be two important stops on the voyage, at St. Louis, on the 2nd of October and at Cairo, H.. on the third and at both points speeches bearing upon the country ys future, will be delivered by the presi- dent
 Reports from all points at which stops are to be made indicate that the party will be entertained on lavish scale throughout. At Keokuk there will be water pageant and many citi- zens will convoy the president down the river in crafts of all sizes for 20 to 30 miles and number of them will accompany him all the way to Memphis. At Memphis the president will find the deep waterways conven- ton in session, and he will deliver a speech.
 Then the president will turn his back on civilization for period of rest and sport in the milds of North ern Louisiana

GETTING TH[ B|)RAH JURY
Judge Whitson is Allowing Wide Latitude in Examination of
 Prospective Jurors.
OPPOSING COUNSEL FREQUENTLY CLASH
Government Accepting Only Those Men Who Declare They Would Rem der Just Verdict in Spite of the Senator's Exalted Position--Belief That Conspiracy Existed General.

Boise, Idaho, Sept 25.-The task of empaneling a~ jury Sto try United States Senator William E. Borah charged with timber land frauds was resumed Tuesday in the United States district court. Federal Judge Whit son, who came from Spokane to pre- side at the trial at the request of Judge Dietrich of this jurisdiction, is allowing rather wide latitude in the This is due partly to the fact that the government attorneys are confronted by many men who claim political and personal acquaintance with Senator Borah and who declare that it would take exceptionally strong evidence to destroy the regard in which they have always held him. The government is accepting only those men who declare that the senator's exalted position would not deter them in dealing equal and exact justice as between him and the state. United States District At torney Ruick, against whom charges of improper conduct before the grand jury are pending, is conducting the examination of the jurors and is put ting each candidate for the trial panel throuhg a long series of questions as to what he personally thinks of the district attorneys course in the mat ter. The opposing counsel have had several clashes on the question as to whether or not juror can be disqual- flied because of his disbelief that a conspiracy to defraud the government existed, regardless of Senator Borah's s connection or disconnection with it. The government authorities contend that if a juror has belief as to the guilt of innocence of any one of the twelve persons indicted with Senator Borah, 1t disqualifies him from serv- ing as juror for Senator Borah. The defence contends that Senator Borah is the only defendant at bar at this time and the guilt or innocence of the others has nothing to do with his case.
 In this connection Attorney A. A. Frazer of counsel for the defense, made statement that 99 out of every 100 persons in Idaho probably believe there was a conspiracy. The question before the court for determination, however, is only as to whether or not Senator Borah was in any way con nected with such conspiracy.
 The government attorneys, after consulting authorities. came to the conclusion held by the defense and withdrew their challenge against the jurors who said they had some opin- ion as to the existence of conspi- racy, but were not satisfied of Sena- tor Borah's connection with it. One of the jurors passed Monday was dis charged Tuesday because of prejudice against any and all corporations and their officers.

WILL PUSH HOSPITAL
 MOVEMENT AT ONCE
W. Coughin Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hospital Association Says He Sees Further Cause of Delay and Will Push Matters Return Kansas City
 Should Have Definite Word Soon.

w. Coughlin, general manager of the Kansas City Southern railroad and also chairman of the board of directors of the Kansas City South ern Employees Hospital Association, passed through Mena yesterday on his return to Kansas City from the annual inspection tour of the road which began September II, and while here talked freely with a representative of The Star regard ing the railroad hospital to be built in Mena and other matters of inter- est to the city.
 It was found on inquiry that up to the time of leaving Kansas City on his trip over the road Mr. Cough lin had not received any word that Read & McDonough, the Arkansas legal representatives of the road, had rendered second favorable re- port as to the power of Mena to make a good deed to the hospital association of Stilwell Park. On being informed that such was the case, Mr. Coughlin said that he could see no further excuse for de lay in going on with the work, and would certainly take the matter ur at once on reaching Kansas City, He spoke of the annoying delays that had occurred because of ques- tions raised by the legal department He said that he had at other times taken steps to facilitate the building of the hospital and would again.

of Mr. Coughlin was called, is as follows:
 We have reinvestigated the whole matter at the request of the general solicitor and wrote him yesterday ad- vising him that we had reached the conclusion that the title was good to the Hospital Association for the pur- pose of building the hospital. This letter was forwarded to the general solicitor, Mir. Moore at Kansas City We wired him also to the same effect.
 Mir Coughlin stated that he had long since expected to receive com plaints from Mena regarding the de- lays that had occurred, but was, of course, glad they had not come, as he was very busy man. He was informed that while Mena had been very anxious to see the work go on, it had also kept pretty close to the difficulties that had to be met, and had at all times held itself in readi- ness to act when anything was re- quired of it.
 Mr. Coughlin called attention to the large improvements being made in Mena at this time, saying that he thought they should at least have the effect of putting to rest any doubts as the permanency of the division point. etc. He also spoke of other improvements that he would recommend be made in Mena during the coming year.
 Mir. Coughlin said that he had been in Janssen park several times recently and that he was much pleased with it and thought that Mena should be very proud of so beautiful a park and deserved much credit on account of the liberality of her citizens that had made possible the improvements that had been made there this year.

BINDER TRUST OBJECTS
Legality of Attorney General Jack son's Questions Attacked in Su-
 preme Court at Topeka.
ANSWERS WOULD lnCRIMlNATE COMPANY
Arguments were in Nature of Attack and Defense of Law Passed by Last Legislature-C. c. Coleman Assisted Attorney General in uphoIding Val idity of Law.

Topeka, Sept 25.-Arguments were made Monday in the supreme court regarding the asking of certain ques- tions by the attorney general in the custer suit against the International Harvester company. The arguments were in the nature of an attack and a defense of the law passed by the last legislature. The harvester company attacked the validity of the law in this case.
 w. D. Stanley, ex-governor, was the chief attorney for the company. He said that the law was invalid because it compelled the company to give in criminating evidence against itself. He invoked the federal constitution. which provides that no person shall be a witness against himself and that a witness shall not be required to give evidence which might iucriminate him.
 Edgar A. Bancroft, of Chicago, a member of the general legal depart ment of the company, argued that the law was invalid as applied to this case because it was an ex post facto law. The custer suit against the company was begun year ago and the law was not passed until last spring. He said that it should not apply because it permitted rule in getting evidence which was not in force at the time action was begun.
 Frederick s. Jackson, attorney gen eral, and c. c. Coleman, ex-attorney general, replied for the state. Mir. Jackson spent most of the time read ing extracts from court opinions show ing that the persons employed by cor porations were entitled to the immuni- ty but that the corporations them selves were not. Mir. Coleman said that the law, although passed after the case was brought. was in effect be- fore the answers of the company were filed on account of the dilatory mo tions filed and argued, and that the ex post facto feature did not apply.
 As soon as this case was finished Earl w. Evans, ex-Gov. Stanley's law partner, announced that the Standard Oil company of Indiana and the Stand ard oil company of Kansas were will ing to answer the questions as submit ted by the attorney general with one minor amendment The amendment was made. This company had no ob- lection to the law. J. D. Mcfarland and I. B. F. Gates. representing the Prairie Oil and Gas company, a branch of the Standard, did not argue the validity of the law at all and said that the company officials were will ing to answer the questions if some amendments were made. The attor- ney general does not want to make the amendments, and whether the ques- tions should be submitted as originally nrepared or amended was argued.
