HARD CASES TO HANDLE

After having declined to express his
Congress by President Roosevelt and
also on the speech delivered by Gov.
Hughes, of New York, the same day,
United States Attorney General Chas.
j. Bonaparte dictated the following to
a World reporter:
There is one matter. however.
about which I can speek with knowl-
edge: If great clusters Of corporations,
such as the Standard Oil Company
and the Tobacco Trust, the Powder
Trust and our well known railroad
systems are not to be punished by
fines imposed on convicted corpora
lions, this means that, in ninety-nine
cases out Of one hundred, they will
not be punished at all. 1t is often pos
sible to obtain legal proof on which to
convict the corporation when 1t would
be altogether impossible to obtain ev-
idence to satisfy jury against any
one of it's superior officers. This state
ment may seem a little strange to
persons inexperienced in criminal law,
but a lawyer who has to enforce Sdch
statutes as the antitrust laws will
soon learn its truth"
Attorney General Bonaparte declar-
ed that the government would push
all trust cases as expeditiously as pos
sible. With reference to the Harri-
man suit in Salt Lake, Mr.. BOnaparte
said:
1.-The suit will most probably reach
the United States supreme court. 1t
may not, however. be argued before
the court during my term as attorney
general, though hope so. am doing
all in my power to expedite the case.
These court cases move slowly"
'Is there any immediate prospect Of
a final decision in the case of the
Standard Oil Company. upon which a
heavy fine was imposed by Judge
Landis?'
1.-The delay in this case has arisen
through no fault of the governments.
Counsel for the Standard Oil Company
asked the court Of appeals to certify
to certain questions to be carried to
the supreme court"
Mr. Bonaparte explained that the
halt in his departments procedure
against the Harvester Trust was due
to the fact that the Interior Depart
ment was now investigating that trust
at the request Of the senate.
DO you consider that one of the
aims of President Roosevelt's admin
istration is to place investments, in
Guiding. Of course, all securities, upon
a more solid and legitimate basis?"
Il do, and 1 think that his aim will
be more generally recognized and ap-
plauded the more generously when it
is understood"

Tells of a
 Home Mixture To Relieve All The
 Catarrh. GOOD HOME MADE REMEDY Afflicted Persons Should Make Some Up and Try It. Don't Cost Much And F said to Dc The Work Promptly and without
 Slightest Injury--The
 PrescriptIen Given.

The coming months win bs har- vest for the doctors and patent meoi- cine manufacturers unless great care is taken to keep the feet dry. also dress warmly.
 This advice should be needed by all who are subject to rheumatism, kidney and bladder troubles and especially catarrh. While the latter is consider ed by many sufferers an incurabie disease, there are few men or women who will fail to experience great re- prescription. and if taken in time 1t will prevent an attack of cartarrh dur ing the entire season.
 Here is the prescription which any one can mix: Fluid Extract of Dande- lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar- gon. one ounce; Compound Syrup three ounces. Shake well in bottle and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at, bedtime.
 The Compound Kargon in this pre- scription acts directly t6pon the elimi- native tissues of the kidneys to make them filter and strain from the blood. the poisons that produce all forms of catarrhal affections. Relief is often felt even after the first few doses and it is seldom that the sufferer ever ex- periences & return attack within the year.
 This prescription makes q splendid remedy for all forms of blood disorders and such symptoms as lame back. blad- der weaknesse8 and rheumatism pains are entirely dispelled.
 As this valuable, though simple, re- cipe comes from 6 thoroughly reliable source. it should be needed by every afflicted reader.

MAY BUY PAINTING
HRATTLE OF GETTYsBURGo OF.
 TERED TO CONGRESS.
1t Was Done by James Walker, the Dead Artist, and Co Now Owned by J. ID.
 BaIl.

Washington, Feb. 19.--(Special. )-- Through bills introduced in both the Senate and House. Congress is asked to purchase for $50.000 the immense paint ing. the Battle of Gettysburg"
 If the purchase is made 1t is proposed to hang the painting in the Capitol. It is of enormous stze, covering the entire side of large room in the basement, where 1t is on exhibition.
 This picture is by James Walker, the artist who painted the Battle of Che- pultepec' which Congress bought many years ago and which is of such inter- est to Capitol visitors. It hangs at the landing of the stairway immediate ly west of the Senate chamber. James Walker, the artist. died fifteen years ago, and the painting now offered the government is owned by James D. Ball, a native of Maryland. but at present a citizen of Massachusetts,
 Mir. Walker was participant on the Union side in the battle of Gettysburg. It required eight years of patient labor to make the picture of that memorabl struggle. He was also eight years in finishing the Battle of ChepuItepec."
 The only member of Congress who is given a prominent position In the Gettysburg picture is General Henry Bingham of Philadelphia, who is re- ferred to as the father of the House." ana Who While this article Is being written. has charge on the floor of tho measure known as the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial appropriation bill. When the battle of Gettysburg was fought General Bingham was a Junior oficer on the stan of General Winfield Scott Hancock. That was nearly for ty-five years ago. and the present Con- gressman was only a few months of being 22 years of age. Tn the picture he Is represented as helping to support and remove to R spot of comfort if not of safety, General Armistead who had but a few minutes before received the wound which caused hts death. It was In the famous Pickett charge on the enemy.
 Veterans of the civil war who have studied the picture are generally of the opinion that the painting is a worthy one, and the chances are that Congress will eventually appropriate the money for it's purchase. But it may not be aone this session, owing to the fact

"(C) Each foreign corporation whose actual amount of capital employed in this State exceeds s1,000, shall pay an annual franchise tax of 25 per cent. on the first e10o .. and 5 per cent. on the capital employed in excess of y1eo and up to and including $1,0o0. and oae-tenfh of per cent. on all such re- maining actual amount of capital em- ployed in this State over and above s1.000. ]"
 Other provisions of the act require the executive ofSicers to file q state ment Of the capital employed by each foreign corporation with the, Probate Judge of the county wherever an agency exists. When payable to one Probate Judge 1t shall not be again payable for that year. The Probate Judge Is empowered to investigate the books of the corporation with view of contesting any figures that may be submitted by the executive offlcers and adjust the amount of capital em- ployed in Alabama as may seem equit- able. Appeals are then in order from this decision to the courts of compe- tent Jurisdiction.
 IL was learned yesterday that the Probate Judge of Montgomery County, Hon. T. B. Castor. may call on the officers of some railroads to file their statements before the date of deiin- quency. which Is March 1. It is un- derstood that orders have been sent out by members of the State Tax Com- mission to various Probate Judges in the State before whom statements are to be filed by the roads, reminding them of this new law and urging the strictest enforcement.
 If the railroads and other foreign corporations comply with the law they will be required to pay to the county one-half of the total franchise tax payable to the State.

MAY FIGHT TAX ON FRANCHISE Railroads Say Act Is Un- eonstitutional. PROVIDES GRADUATED SCALE Tax Is Imposed on Fsreign Corpora

Another phase threatens to be added to the existing legal conflict between the State administration and the rail- roads, this time being the question of whether the carriers which are foreign corporations are going to comply with the law imposing a foreign corpora ton tax.
 There Is talk. of some of the rail- roads resisting this statute of the Rev. enue Code. which was passed at the first session of the last Legislature. The contest. if there be one. will be waged on the constitutionality of the act. If generally compiled with by all foreign corporations. the new franchise tax law furnishes one of the leading sources of revenue. Therefore. if the act is overthrown in the courts the consequences will be gravely felt by the already depleted State Treasury.
 It is known that the officers of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com. pany have been cited to appear and show cause why they should not be made to pay the franchise tax. In the case of this line, the tax to the State will amount to something in the neigh borhood of $s0,e00. Col. Geo. W. Jones. Division Counsel of tho Louis- vile and Nashville. gave out a state- ment yesterday to the effect that the
 
 decided yet whether they would pay the tax. It was due on January but all franchise taxes are not delinquent until sixty days after due. It fs ex- pected that . decision will be an- nounced before March 1.
 Colonel Jones said yesterday that 1t it is possible that the foreign corpor- ation tax law will be resisted on the claim that 1t is unconstitutional. Fur ther than this he did not care to dis cuss the matter. Just what feature of the law Is regarded as unconstitution- al is not known.
 Under the terms of this law. which was passed last year by the Legisia. ture to supplant similar statute. ev- cry foreign corporation authorized to Quired to pay on January 1, 1908, and annually thereafter. a certain amount of franchise tax graded on the actual amount of the capital of the corpora tion employed within the State. The scale of this tax provision runs like this:
 "(A) Each foreign corporation whose actual amount of capital employed in this State is one hundred dollars or less, shall pay a manual franchise tax of 25 per cent. of the actual amount of capital employed in this State by 1t.
 "(B) Each foreign corporation whose actual amount of capital employed in the State exceeds s100 and does not exceed q. .O0O, shall pay an annual fran chise tax of 25 per cent. upon the first ei00 and 5 per cent. upon all such re. actual amount of capital em- pIoyed in this State over S100, ana up To and not exceeding the said limit of B1.000.

SHOP MEN SUFFER IN
 CUTTING EXPENSES

Hn Retrenchment Policy They Have
 Wages Cut.
 While no notice of a further reduo. tion in salaries has been given the local empolyes of the Louisville and Nashville still instructions to that ef. fect are expected in Montgomery any day. It was reported some days ago that there would be a cut iu the sal aries of the conductors and engineers. Both of these organizations have a contract with the Louisville and Nash Vile and so far no committees of eikh- or organization have been called to Louisville. Tn regard to the general reduction in salaries the following special comes out of Louisville:
 The sweeping cut in wages pre- dicted to follow in the wake of the reduction in salaries of high-paid ofi- cials and officers of the Louisville and Nashville railroad first became notice- able yesterday with the semiofiiclal an- nouncement of a slice from the wages of all the shopmen now in the employ of the company. It is understood that the full confirmation will come from B. M. Starks. general manager, today. The reductions follow a graded Scale, and vary from per cent for the poor est paid workmen to 10 per cent of for the best. The men will be paid ofe todayS ana at that time receive mo- tice of the cut, it is said.
 Information from authoratiye sources has it that reduction announcements can be looked for every day for the remainder of this month, because be- ginning this morning, different branch of the company's employees will receive their monthly pay and mo- tice of tho cut day by day. The pay ing of the employees begins on the 18th of each month, and lasts through to the 2sth. Those with contracts will not be affected by the cut until their present wage agreement expires.
 Hundreds of those affected by the cut which is expected today live in Louis vile and work in the South Louis vile shops. The cuts will be for those from S1.30 to s1.65 a day, 10 cents; 21.70 to e1.s0 q day. IS cents: s1.95 to $2.25 8 day. 20 cents; S2.30 to S2.ss a day, 25 cents; s2.7O to ts day. 30 cents.

DAVIDSON TAKES TRICK Files Party Emblem to Get Regularity TAFT WING IS SURPRISED Move Made in the Fight Among
 Republicans. The rhompsoa Wins Msy Appeal to tAs Csurss to Tsseever the
 Lest Groana.

By a coup d'etat executed yesterday what is known as the Davidson wins of the Republican party of AIabams gained temporarily at least the upper hand of the opposing. or Thompson wing, in the filing of the party emblem with the Secretary of State yesterday.
 This emblem is identical with that used by the Republicans at the last general election of State officers in November, 1906. It is the emblem adopted in resolution of the last meeting of the State Executive Com mittes of the Republicans in Birming- ham on February IS. The emblem. as of The Arm and Hammer" surrounded by the words. .Prosperity" Industry Protection" Guarantee" and We Stand Pat"
 < It has not yet been learned what tac- tics will be employed by the Thompson or the "Taft'' wing of the party to thWart the action of the Davidson com tingent ia filing this emblem with such promptness. It is possible. 1t seems, only through the courts to brush away this advantage taken by the regular officers of the Executive Committee, Ju- Illus W. Davidson, Chairman, and Will liam Moseley Bailey. Secretary pro tenn. There are rumors that the fac- tion known to be fin favor of instruct lNk HOT 4&II EOE EES8kUSAty WAlt 0VUAX for mandamus to be directed to the Secretary of State compelling him to also file their emblem as they held a separate meeting Of the Committee in Birmingham on February IS at the same time that the opposing wing sat.
 As for Secretary of State Frank N. Julian, he forthwith addressed letter to Chairman Davidson advising that the emblem had been duly received and filed in accordance with the terms of the law on the subject. He could not do otherwise and win not recognize any other emblems purportins to be for the Republican party until forced to do So.
 The communication of Chairman Da- vidson which accompanied the emblem received yesterday, follows:
 ITO the Hon. Frank N. Julian, Gecre-
 fary of State:
 'srhe undersigned, Julius W. David son and William Mosely Bailey. Chair man and Secretary pro tenn, respec- lively of the Executive Committee of thel Republican party of AIabama re- speetfully show:

 The filing of the Republican emblem Is taken to mean that there is proba- bility of thst party placing nominees in the field during the election of State have been reports for several days past that active efforts will be made to put forth candidates for all the State offi- ces to be filled at the coming election. These are two associate justices of the Alabama Supreme Court. President of the Alabama Railroad Commission and State Game and Fish Commissioner.
 A well known local Republican said of the situation:
 "of the members which were ex- pelled from the Thompson committee at Birmingham on the 17th inst, two are Grand Army nlen--veterans in the civil war and in the Republican Party ---being Captain Anderson and ex-U. s. Marshal Cooper. q brother of Con- gressnnan Cooper of Ohio. The other ex-Congressman Aldrich, three times a runrsfT&F sF fvnn fwny,4 fa
 The Thompson faction has no party emblem, and cannot now obtain one. The Davidson wing has become the legal and regular Republican Party of tie State and has filed It's emblem, as required by law, with the Secretary of State. It is thus the only regular Republican Party in Alabama, and only under It's emblem could Republican electoral ticket go on the official bal- lot, or any other state or other ofices of that party be placed on the official ballot. Thus it would seem the Chi cago Convention would be forced to re- cognize this wing of the party as reg uler, for only under it's emblem could it's candidates for President and Vice. President receive any votes in Ala bania.
 .The Davidson faction through an authorized subcommittee sought harmony. but Thompson rejected the olive branch. The offer was also made to the management of Secretary Taft that if Thompson as State leader. and Frank Hitchcock As leader for the Southern States, were not imposed up- on the Republicans Of this State. as leaders. as both men were objection able. that no contesting delegation would be sent to Chicago. This offer, though not rejected in express terms. was never accepted, and Secretary Taft's managers have seen proper to this offer and force both Thompson and Hitchciek as Republican leaders upon the party in Alabama, so the Taft column.
 The Davidson folks, as the regular party, will send delegates to Chicago and will be seated. as that faction is now the regular organisation. This delegation will go untnstructed. II

that the House Republican leaders have apparently adopted a policy of rigid economy in view of the fact that the government revenues are falling of so heavily and presidential campaign will open in few months.
 That's the prevailing excuse for postponing nearly every important measure that members are anxious to have passed.
