HARRIMAN'S CASE TAKEN UP
CONSIDERATION BY THE INTER
STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
Endeavoring to Agree on a Report to
the President on the
Matter.

The interstate commerce commission was
in session today and the Hartman case
was again up for considerat ton. The COM
mission Is endeavoring to get in readiness
a report on this case, SO that 1t may go to
the President, and it will probably be trans
mitted to Mr.. Roosevelt through the De-
partment OF Justice
1t Is understood that the President has
Kept informed on the Hartman case and
is looking forward to the report of the COM
mission with a great deal Of interest That
report, 1t Is believed. will contain some
recommendations for action, which in turn
will be passed upon by the Department Of
Justice.
At the request Of the President, 1t is I'M
derstood. the interstate commerce commits
sion has forwarded to the President at
oyster Bay memorandum giving the sub
stance OF the evidence collected in this case
by the commission. 1t is stated that the
Presidents request for a memorandum of
the evidence in the Inquiry probably was
at the suggestion of Special Counsel Kel-
logg, who. 1t is understood. insists that MIR.
Hartman should be prosecuted for viola
ton OF the Sherman antitrust law in his
alleged manipulations of the finances Of
the Chicago and Alton railroad. Several
members Of the commission. it is said.
take the view that there is no way by
which the government can prosecute Mr..
Hartman for these alleged violations Of
the law. Mr.. Kellogg visited the President
IN oyster Bay yesterday, and it is thought
mere that his visit may have been for the
purpose Of urging the institution of pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Hartman.

CASE MUCH LIKE LOVING'S
SIDNEY E. MUDD TO PLEAD

LA PLATA. Md. July 9.-Mrs. Mollie
Bowie and her son Henry, twenty years DID,
were arraigned here this morning on the
charge of killing Hubert Posey near Indian
Head last February. Both pleaded not guilty
and the selection of the jury to decide their
fate was Immediately commenced. Judges
Briscoe, Crane and Merrick are presiding at
the trial. The state is represented by Col.
L. Allison Wilmer. while Representative
Posey. a distant relative of the murdered
man, appear for the defendants.
AS early as 8 o'clock this morning largo
crowds began to assemble in the court
house and it was with difficulty the judges.
defendants and attorneys made their way
to the courtroom. When the trial was be-
gun all available sitting and standing room
was occupied and the sheriff was instruct
ed to guard the door and keep other spec
tators out. Shortly after court convened
Mrs. Bowie and her son had the indict-
ment against them read aloud.
Each is charged with the deliberate and
malicious murder of Hubert Posey. When
asked how they pleaded to the charge both
answered In a firm voice, Not guilty"
Thirty-two veniremen, who were sum-
moned in order that the jury might be Sc
1ected, filed into the room and were sworn.
Each was interrogated by Attorney Posey
for the defense and States Attorney Will
mer for the commonwealth.
The examination of the yentremen
dragged on slowly. most of them admitting
that they had come to a conclusion as to
the innocence Of Mrs. Bowie and her son
and confessIng that very strong evidence
would have to be adduced to drive them
from that belief. AS court will ADJOURN
about o clock, 1t Is scarcely probable that
any steps other than the securing Of the
jury will be taken In the trial today.
Judges Briscoe. Crane and Merrick will
leave La Plata for their homes on the aft
ernoon train, and the case will be re-
sumed at O clock tomorrow morning.
Although it is admitted by the defendants
and their counsel that Posey was slain by
Mrs. Bowie and her son. they will plead
as Justification and excuse the "unwritten
law, and it Is not improbable that some
expert testimony on mental disorders will
be heard. In addition to the pitiful story
which Mrs. Bowie will tell the jury. Pris-
celia Bowie. the eighteen year-old daughter
Of Mrs. Bowie. in whose defense it is said
Posey was slain, will go upon the stand and
narrate her story Of the betrayal at his
hands. Miss Bowie appeared in court this
morning carrying on her arm a two-months-
old baby. Of which Mr.. Posey and Repre-
sentative Mudd will insist that the muir
dered man was the father.

ED TO TAKE ACTION.

The following order was issued at the
War Department today:
by direction of the President, Lieut.. Col.
Charles G. Ayres. 14th Cavalry, will report
in person to Brig. Gen. John NJ. h. Davis.
United States Army. president of an army
retiring board, at the Army building, New

corder.
This board will make a thorough exam
ination of Col. Ayres, physically and men
tally. with a view to ascertaining whether

and the military authorities at West Point
over the Easter cadet overcoat episode"

CRIMINAL PROSECUTION LIKELY

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 1O.-The only action
taken by the federal government today in
it's suit for the dissolution of the so-called
tobacco trust was the fling with the clerk
Of the circuit court Of the formal bill Of
complaint against the defendant companies.
The action, which Is directed principally
against the American Tobacco Company in
cludes as well the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany. the British-American Tobacco Com
pany. the United Cigar Stores companies
and at least fifty-nine other smaller cor.
porations.
The petition was formally filed at II 10
o'clock with Commissioner Shields as clerk
of the circuit court.
A United States marshal will notify each
of the defendants of the institution of the
suit. From that time the defendant COM
panies have until the first Monday in Au-
gust to make answer to the complaint.
The interests of the federal government
will be represented by Assistant Attorney
General Purdy. Judge ]. C. McReynolds
and Edwin P. Grosvencr
Mr.. Grosvenor said this morning that too
much prominence had been given to the
fact that in its complaint the federal gov
eminent asked for an appointment of a
receiver for the defendant companies.
I'm every equity action he said, "a
great number of forms Of relief are sug-
gested to the court. This was the method
followed in this case Among the means
of relief suggested is the appointment Of
a receiver for the defendant companies.
The chief object which is sought however.
is the granting of an injunction restraining
the defendants in what we consider to be
illegal acts. l am inclined to believe that
too much prominence has been given to the
fact that the recevership is mentioned as
one Of the possible forms of relief
When told of the statement made by Spe-
cial United States Attorney John c. Nc
Reynolds. in charge of the prosecution OF
the so-called tobacco trust, to the effect
that criminal prosecution of the principal
probable Attorney General Bonaparte said
today that that phase of the matter has
been and still was under consideration by
the department No decision. however. has
been reached and no announcement could
be made at this time regarding it. 1t seems
more than probable that If any criminal
action is begun at all it will only be after
the trial under the present bill of complaint
is concluded or until it has so far pro-
crossed as to warrant such proceedings.

MERCURY SCARS UPWARD.
No Promise at Weather Bureau Of
Cooler Weather,


After its rest Of yesterday the hot
weather got right down to business again
today, and is apparently trying to break
Mondays record. BY noon the thermometer
at the weather bureau registered SO de-
grees, only two less than Mondays figures.
The mark at Affleck's was 49, against IS
on Monday.
There was little expectation at the
weather bureau that Mondays score Of 81,
at p.m.-90 at Aff1eck s-would be beaten,
but on the street few were SO hopeful, an
expression of resignation struggling on fea-
lures believed with perspiration.
AT Aff1ecks there was disposition to OBJ
Ject to the SluggishnesS Of the mercury 1t
being declared that Washington is entitled
to 1O3 on at least one day in the month Of
July, and If the weather can't do it by it.
self somebody ought to put stove under it.
1t was a steady climb for the thermom-
eters all the morning. At the weather bu-
reau the ascent was regular. one degree.
every half hour after eight o'clock. Down
town there was jump of four degrees
from 50 to 8-between II o'clock and noon.
Vagrant zephyrs, that made yesterdays
breeze seem like a close-reef gale moved
the air just enough to tantalize and to
whlrl the dust where excavating is go
ing on
Still the weather bureau can offer no
promise of respite from the heat, and the
officials imply, though they will not saw
directly that the worst is yet to come.

BERRY DEALERS FINED
HEAVY ASSESSMENT BY JUDGE
KIMBALL FOR SHORT MEASURE.

On charges Of selling Strawberries In
baskets that were short weight and which
did not conform to the standards in the
office Of the sealer of weights and meas
ures. Harry ]. Rice and John H. Carter,
produce dealers at 936 Louisiana avenue
northwest. were before Judge Kimball In
the Police Court today. After examining
the berry baskets. which had the bottoms
bent upward. Judge Kimball fined the two
defendants $3.50 in the two cases.
This is a fraud. a clear-cut fraud, in
tended to cheat the customer" declared
the judge in concluding the case. And
we must hold this man who deals with the
consumer responsible"
The arrest in the case was made a
Star at the time, following a visit Of AS
sistant Sealer Schoenthal to the market
line. At that time, 1T was testified today.
he purchased a box Of berries from Rice
and Carter, and in examining the box
afterward it was found that there We're
two bottoms to the boxes. one on the out
side running straight across like any Or
binary berry box. the inner one bumped up
ries to fill the box. Warrants were pro-
cured for Rice and Carter and they put
UP 800 collateral for their appearance in
the Police Court when required. The trial
was continued until today.
Defense of Rice.
In his own behalf Mr.. Rice testified that
he bought the berries in the same condi-
ton that he sold them. and that he was
defrauded II the consumer who purchased
from him was. He stated, however, that
he did not sell the berries representing the
box to hold a quart, but simply by the box.
whatever 1t contained, and he said that was
the usual custom along the market line.
I'VE have law prohibiting the sale of
produce in short weight, and under that
law the responsibility is on the man who
sells in the District of Columbia, no matter
how or from whom he bought declared
Judge Kimball at the conclusion of the
testimony. 1T is mans duty to find out
that the things he sells are pure and full
measure; that they are in the quantity and
quality as represented to the consumer. AS
a purchaser, we would think that we were
buying a full box of berries when We pur-
chased that box, but we do not get a full
box. 1t is fraud, a clear-cut fraud, in
tended to cheat the consumer. He gets
20 per cent less than he thought he was
getting. We must hold the man who deals
with the cOnsumer-in this case Mr. Rice
and MIR. Carter. l would feel very much
disgruntled-to use a mild term-if found
berries 1 bought in such boxes.
Attorney Campbell Darlington, who rep
resented the defendants. noted an excep-
ton to the ruling of the court, and an ap-
peal may be taken.
