Washington. March 26.-Post-
master General Meyer today issued
an order annulling the second class
mailing privilege granted in 1905
to La Questiene Sociale," the
Italian publication issued by an
alleged anarchist group at Pater-
son, N. J. The order was issued
because the publication is not

Washington, Feb. 2G.-That the
shooting ARRAY at Brownsville. Texas.
the night of August 1914. 1906. was
done by some of the negro soldiers of
the 25th infantry and that the testi.
mony taken before the senate com,
mittee on military affairs la.ls to
identify the guilty parties, is the opin.
Ion of eight members of the commit
tee. Four members voted against
this decision and one did not vote. A
resolution declaring the guilt Of the
negroes was submitted by Senator
Lodge and was adopted after five reso-
lutions by Senator Foraker. one by
Senator Dupont and one by Senator
Scott, all of which were offered as
substitutes, had been voted down.
The vote was reached after a pro,
longed Investigation extending over
TWO sessions of congress. and ev.-
dence had been taken covering thou
sands of pages. Practically every
negro of the three companies dishon
orabIy discharged by President Roose
welt testified in his own behalf. VIII le
evidence in support of the president
was given by many army officers and
citizens of Brownsville.
Throughout the entire controversy.
which in many sections OF tn coun

directed by Senator Foraker. In the
final vote a majority of the republican
members caEsa TO his support The
Ohio senator expressed himself as

TO BE THE CAUSE OF
CHURCH MURDER.
ALTO THOUGHT HE RECOGNIZED
SCAR OF MAN DOOMED
TO DIE.
ExILEO ANARCHISTS CAST LOTS
AT MEETING IN SOUTH
AMERICA.

Denver, Feb. 26.-The Post yester-
day published what purports to be a
statement said to have been made by
the assassin, Alto, from which it ap-
pears that Father Leo was not the
priest whom he intended to murder,
but was mistaken by him for a young
Italian priest who had been con-
demned to death by band of anarch-
lists who had been exiled from Sicily.
This priest, it is stated, had been fore
most in the warfare against the NAL,
contents in Avolo, Sicily, which cul-
upon. an Easter procession in the
streets of Avolo. In the fight, the
priest was struck upon the head with
a club by rioter, receiving a wound
which left a scar. This priest, whose
name was not printed, afterwards
came to America.
At a meeting of exiled anarchists in
Buenos Ayres, Alio is said to have
confessed, he was chosen by lot to kill
the hated priest and was sent 10 this
country by his associates for that pur
pose.
He is reported to have said he iden-
tilted Father Leo as the man, thinking
he saw the scar on his forehead.
When told the priest he had killed
was German and had never been in
Sicily and that there was no scar
on his forehead, ALTO burst into par
oxysm of grief, and afterwards ex-
pressed readiness to suffer the conse-
quences of his mistake.

RACING AUTOS
REACH CHICAGO
ARMY COURIER CAR BEATS
LEADER OF WORLD-EN-
ClRCLING MACHINES.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Thickly coated
with mud, but otherwise in good con
dition, the first of the racing automo-
biIes reached this city yesterday at
1925. 1t was the army machine car
rying a message from General Grant
in New York to Fort Leayenworth.
The second arrival was the American
car, which is still leading the other
contestants in the New York-to-Paris
race. It was five minutes behind the
message bearer. The American car
was in the lead at Hobart, Ind, a
short distance from Chicago and its
crew stopped there to dine with the
members Of the pilot car which left
Chicago for the purpose of acting as
escort. While dinner was in progress
the army machine passed to the front.
Several hundred people gathered
around the Chicago automobile club,
and waited in a drizzling rain for the
arrival of the racers. Loud and long
cheers greeted the first car and by
the time the second arrived the
street was so crowded with people
that traffic was at a standstill for
some time and squad of police was
called to clear the street. Shortly af-
ter the machines were timed in at the
clubhouse they were taken to a gar
age.
The crews of both cars stated that

CASE PRESENTED TO INTER
STATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION.
HALFoRD ERICKSON SHOWS
DISCRIMINATION IN FAVOR
OF OHIO.
RAILROADS POINT TO GOOD
MARKET FOR PRODUCT
OF WISCONSIN.
Madison, Feb. &c


The Wisconsin railroad commission
yesterday, assisted by leading men
of the large Wisconsin cheese indus
try, presented to Special Agent John
H. Marble of the interstate com
merce commission the protest of this
state against the discriminatory and
unjust rates on cheese shipments
from the Wisconsin district to Chi
cago, particularly in view of the vast
ly lower rates allowed on cheese
from the Ohio district HalrorI
Erickson appeared for the commission
and he presented large amount Of
statistical material, which resulted
from the study which the state com
| mission made of the subject. The
railroads were also represented 3.
A. Lynde and Frank lyman appeared
for the Northwestern road and VII
| liam Ellis and Grant Williams for the
| Milwaukee road. John Luchsinger
of Monroe, Jacob Regez Of Monroe
and others interested as shippers of
| cheese were present as witnesses.
Wisconsin Reduction Ordered.
1t was shown that the Wisconsin
commission ordered a reduction OF
| nearly Is per cent. on the rates on
cheese within this state, but could
not within its jurisdiction reach the
rates from Wisconsin points to Cal
cago. Therefore it was impossible
| for the shippers to secure remedy
| through the Wisconsin commission
| The commission recommended that
! the railroads voluntarily give a reduc
ton in the rates to Chicago, SO as to
adjust the discriminatory conditions.
but this the roads refused to do and
the commission took the matter up
with the interstate commerce commits
sion
| It was shown by Commissioners
Erickson yesterday that the rate on
| cheese brought 425 miles from the
New Philadelphia and Alliance, Ohio,
cheese district, was only 20 cents per
! 100 pounds, but that the rate exact
ed on the cheese sent only 1873 miles
| from Monroe to Chicago was 28
cents. The rates from the Ohio
cheese district to Chicago are about
one-fourth as much as the rates from
the Wisconsin district. considering
the length of haul and the cents
charged per 100 pounds This gives
the Ohio cheese a decided and unfair
| advantage over the Wisconsin prod
uct
1t was argued by the railroad men
that there is q ready market for all
! the cheese produced in Wisconsin
and that the producers Of this state
have really no reasonable objection
| to make. The answer to this is that
| the Wisconsin product is better than
the Ohio product and for that reason
is able to overcome the effect Of the
discrimination of freight rates and
find a market. This, it is declared
is no excuse for the discrimination
Dracticed by the roads in favor of the
Ohio district
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-02-27

elimination Of watered stocks and in
fated values is not an unreasonable
demand Of the public conscience Be
cause they are unjust to the public
and compel the public to pay dividends
on fictitious values, the public pro-
tests against them, and this same con-
science, with its sense of justice,
would as readily assert itself to pro-
test against unfairness toward the in
dividual aggregated under the form
and fiction Of a corporation as it
would to protest against injustice to,
ward the individual citizen. 1t is not
corporations the people complain Of
but the abuses of power on the part of
corporations"
IN conclusion Mr.. Folk said
THE era Of conscience has for its
ideals charity, brotherhood and equal
rights. 1t is the ideal that makes the
life of a free people. The war OF
revolution was not won SO much by
shot and shell as by the idea of liberty
in the hearts of the American people
Take away the ideals Of America and
the strength Of the nation will be gone
We are made and governed by the
things we cherish, and the public life
of the nation is but a reflection of its
private life. Here between the two
great oceans we have founded an EN-
pire such as no conqueror of old ever
dreamed Of, but the greatness of :
nation does not consist of mere extern
of territory, nor in the strength of itS
battleships, but in the purity of it.
ideals, and in the intensity of. its de
votion to those things that make fol
equal rights, that make for justice
that make for morality throughout tht
world"
