women S organizations of New York city.
 As this woman pointed out it comes
 nearer being woman's club than a
 hotel.
 Freedom, yet seclusionl
 How much these things mean to the young woman living in New York or to the transient guest Tn the city for a day
 or two. She will find them here, and the
 atmosphere that goes with them will do
 much to remove the poignant sense of loneliness so prone to fasten upon the
 young woman spending her first year
 away from home
 Somehow or other life here takes on a warmer glow, sort of reflected charm
 from those earlier days when the coun- try was young and the neghborly spirit was stronger.
 New York; she said, "is big an l , busy and the stranger here is apt to feel
 lost and lonely at times, but
 "At the Martha Washington woman
 finds the same f1reside coziness and spirit
 of good will and friendlness that are en- joyed back home. And freedom Well, you can enjoy all of the Martha Washington-not merely the room that you engage and pay for, but the whole i, house, without feeling that you are talk ing liberties.
 "The hotel belongs to woman. Here the bachelor girl who is teaching in one of the citys high schools is found chat
 ting with the girl who has come on to study art, or "The business woman, relaxing from i the labors of the day, is playing whist
 with the woman tourist. Here you will find the New England woman who has
 come over to see the opera and visit d few points of interest. "Or, again

 cheerful place, full of comfortable chairs,
 and there Is the writing room. a cozy den, where you can be as quiet and un-

 tea room is open til 12. One of the en- frances to the hotel is closed at Il, but the Thirtieth street entrance Is opened all night"
 And do the men have to have permits to get in?'
 ''Yes," she said, I've give them passes as far as the second floor. No man is | allowed beyond that But we let them in | the cafe" l And the Martha Washington Is great | success?" asked.

NEW FACTS SHOWN
IN GRAFT TRIAL
CONTRACTOR RECEIVED 100000
FOR FURNISHING STATE CAPI-
ToL BEFORE HIS BILLS WE'RE
EVEN APPROVED.

Harrisburg Pa. January 3i.-More
than $S,000,000 was paid to Contractor
John II. Sanderson for furnishing of
the new state capitol before his bills
began to be approved by the board of
public grounds and buildings, as re-
quired by law. This was brought out
at the trial of Sanderson, former State
Treasurer Mathues, former Auditor
General Snyder and James H. Shu-
maker, former superintendent of
grounds and buildings in the Dauphin
county court today.
These bills were put in evidence by
the commonwealth in spite of vigorous
objections by the defense for the pur-
pose of showing the system which the
commonwealth alleges was pursued to
defraud the state. The admission of
these bills opens the way for an Of
fer of the introduction of certain other
papers and numerous articles of furn-
ture to which no reference is made IN
the Indictment in the case now on trial.
The commonwealth brought down
from the capitol and stored in the
court this afternoon wagon load of
furniture which it will offer in evil
dence when the trial is resumed at 10
o'clock Monday

RESOLUTION BY TlLLMAN.
Senator Wants Land Grants To Rail-
roads Looked After.

Washington, January Ex-senator Till
man today introduced a resolution call
ing upon the President to inform the SEN
ate whether railroads receiving land
grants containing conditions requiring
that such lands should be sold to actual
settlers only and for amounts named in
the grants, have violated the terms of
the grants and what action has been
taken by the department of justice in
respect to these matters.
Mr.. Kean objected to the Immediate
consideration of the resolution, whereupon
Mr. Tillman said he had discovered the
things he aimed at in his resolution
while on a trip in the west last summer.
He was then told that these railroads alb
solutely refused to comply with the terms
of their grants and withdrawn sale of
their land.
Mr. Fulton said that the road against
which the complaint is aimed is now
a part of the Southern Pacific system.
Mr.. Tillman said the resolution also
related to Northern Pacific land grants.
The consideration of the resolution was
postponed
Mr.. Tillnan then offered another reso-
luton relating to the same subject and
directing the attorney general to insti-
tute such proceedings on behalf of the
United States as may be necessary to
insure compliance with the conditions ac-
companying the land grants or to restore
the lands to the public domain or to
report to Congress why such action has
not or should not be taken. This resolu-
ton was referred to the committee on
judiciary.

RAPID PROGRESS IN
STANDARD OIL CASE
TESTIMONY is GIVEN CONCERN
ING RATES ON OIL GIVEN BY
VARIOUS RAILROADS TO THE
DEFENDANT COMPANY.

Washington, January 31-Rapid progress
was made today in the taking of testi-
mony in the suit of the government
against the Standard Oil company for the
annulment of the company's corporate ex-
istence.
T. c. ID. SCHNEIDER, the special agent of
the bureau of corporations, which assist
ed in the conduct of the governments
investigation into the petroleum industry,
continued his testimony concerning the
rates of oil given by various railroads to
the STANDARD and to Independent oil ship
pers.
He testified that prior to June, 1906, the
railroads which reach New England
points from western Pennsylvania and
Ohio, Independent shipping points, re-
fused to pro-rate on oil, and insisted on
charging for oil shipments the sum of
local rates
Mr.. SCHNEIDER testified also that the re-
duction on oil shipments from western
Pennsylvania and Ohio points to southern
points was generally from 8 cents per
100 pounds to 81 cents per 100 pounds, an
average of about 10 to u cents per 100
pounds.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER also testified as to the
rates given by the railroads to a large
number of points in tine states of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan from Whit
ing, Ind, and as to the rates of those
same points from Pittsburg, Cleveland
and Toledo the rates in every instance
from Whiting being lower than from the
independent points in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania.
After developing this testimony Frank
B. Kellogg, the government cour sci, con-
cluded his direct examination If Mr..
SCHNEIDER, and Mr.. Rosenthal, counsel for
the Standard, began his cross-examination
of the witness. Mr.. SCHNEIDER was asked
whether in his experience as a railroad
man he had known of instances of longer
railroad routes between two given points
charging the same or lower rates on a
commodity than its shorter competitor. He
replied that he had known of such in
stances. Mr.. SCHNEIDER said that it was
a custom for secretaries or chairmen of
traffic associations to be furnished with
copies of tariff rates given by the rail-
roads constituting the associations
''Is it not fact" inquired Mr.. Rosen-
thai, that these copies of tariffs which
show on their face the rate are supplied
to the officials of the freight associations
in an effort to discipline the road depart
ing from the agreed-upon rate?"
1T is AN effort" replied Mr.. SCHNEIDER,
made to bring the road which departs
from the rate line back into the fold, so
10 speak,
Mr.. SCHNEIDER said in response to in
quiries that he had made no examination
OF other statements of the Chicago. Bur-
lington and Quincy as to oil shipments,
and said that he did not know ABOUT the
billings of oil to the Standard Oil dHnpany
by that line.

BRYAN'S COMMENT
ON ROOSEVELT
He Declares President a Friend
of Wall Street
NOW LET THEBATTLE BEGIN
Mr.. Bryan Says That as the President
NOW LET THE BATTLE BEGIN
Mr.. Bryan Says That as the President
Has Issued the Call To Arms the
People Will Soon See Who
Are In the Right.

Wilmington, Del, January 31.-Wil-
nam j. Bryan tonight issued a state
ment bearing on the Presidents mes
sage sent to Congress today. He said
he recognized the moral courage of
Roosevelt in fighting against the OPP
position he has to contend with. Re
ferring to the Wall street methods. he
said it would be safe bet that the
hnanciers would see that they could
place dependency on Roosevelt as a
friend of the system. His statement
is in part as follows:
1T is brave message and needed at
this time. All friends of reform have
reason to rejoice that President Roose-
Welt has used his high position to call
attention to wrongs that need to be
remedied. He has described the run
ming sore in our national life. He has
pointed out the corrupting influences
that flow from predatory wealth, and
from the monopolistic enterprises
which have given unearned riches to
the few who, by controlling great in
dustries of the nation have levied trib-
ute on the whole country.
Its warnings are entirely in har-
mony with the warnings which demo-
Gratis have been uttering for more than
a decade, and / hope that the democrats
in the Senate and House will promptly
challenge the republicans to meet the
issues presented by the President.
There ought to be enough Roosevelt
supporters iii the two houses to Join
with the democrats and insure some
remedial legislation at this session. If
there be none the public ought to know
it SO that when the next republican
national convention indorses the pres
ent administration the hypocrisy of the
Endorsement will be understood The
President has discussed the relative
spheres of the state and of the nation.
l hope that in the measure which may
be introduced in response to this APP
peal there will be no attempt to take
from the states any power that they
now have.
The democrats are in favor of the
fullest employment of the power vest
ed in Congress, but they want national
remedy added to the state remedies and
not substituted for them. If the Presi-
dents republican friends will join with
the democrats in devising legislation
which will be effective and yet within
the power OF Congress great deeds may
be accomplished before Congress adj
journs. The President has issued a
call to arms. Now let the battle begin
and we shall soon be able to pick out
the purchased newspapers and the pur-
r.lo al neicl lot arfh Cd lxr hi
President, but not specifically named"
Tonight Mr.. Bryan addressed DEM
ocratic mass meeting and was later
the guest of honor at a banquet given
by the Democratic League of Dele
ware.
Congressman Helm OF Alabama was
among the speakers.
