BOSS COX'S TRIP
CiBcinnali's Political Dictator Coming 10 New York 10 Join
 ihe Ranks of tue 400.

Cincinnati, Aug 21.-Having failed to gain entrance into the exclusive set here, George B. Cox, republican ''boss" of Hamilton county, is said to be making preparations to remove to New York and make an attempt to break into society there. Cox is dis posing of all his Cincinatni real es- tate, having already sold the Grey Eagle saloon and another in the Ten derloin, where he got his first start as bartender.
 The CoXes tried hard to break into the upper set at the time Mrs NiSho- las Longworth, then Miss Alice Roosevelt, was being entertained here the first time. The presidents $ daughter openly snubbed them when introduced in a box at the LatoEN race track, in spite of the fact that Cox made Longworth what he is politically.
 Cox will not deny that he is about to remove to New York, but he does mt think it anybodys business. A reporter went to see Cox at his Cincinnati trust office to-day. h. stead of confirming or denying the report, Cox seemed suddenly to have lost his stoical demeanor. He flew into rage at the suggestion.
 Tt ain't none of your - busi- ness," he announced. The further suggestion that he hadn't answered the question was like hanging a red flag in bull pen.
 'I told you to go to h-. won't answer it," he shouted.
 The report, which was discussed with unusual interest at the Busi- ness Mems club to-day, was given credence, because Cox has sold with in the last few days much of his real estate holdings in Cincinnati. It was pointed out that he has twice "abdicated" in politics and has large theatrical and other financial interests in New York which might make it logical for him to go there.

LATHROP'S MONEY
Attorney Root as Administrator Asks That He Hand Over
 About $S,OOO.

E. U. Lathrop, the much sued man, finds himself to-day the defendant in another suit. This time he is sued for $S,000 and the plaintiff is Lawp yer c. G. Root, who was some time ago appointed administrator upon the estate of Lathrop's first wife, Mrs Esther Lathrop, mother of Harry Lathrop and Mrs John DeMott. Tho real plaintiff, however, is MT La- throp's son Harry. It was he who first brought the probate proceedings to make his father disgorge some $3,O00 which he claimed belonged t0 his mothers estate and feared his father would expend in the costly litigation in which the second Mrs Lathrop was the plaintiff.
 Lathrop contended that his wife gave him that money some time be- fore she died, but the higher courts ruled that the money was part of her estate and as such Lathrop was re- sponsible for it.
 A short time ago the supreme court deciding Lathrops appeal, confirmed the view of the other courts. The $3,O00 now amounts to about $6.700, but in the present suit MT Root sues also to recover all the expense he as administrator was put to in prose- cutting the case up to the present stage. The suit is returnable to the superior court. James W. Hodson has been garnisheed, as Lathrop holds mortgage on the property at the corner of Center and Bank streets which he sold to MT Hodson some time ago.

MILITARY GONE
Only One Regiment Now on Duly al SpriDgiield- One
 Case of Shooting.
GRAND JURY RESUMES

Springfield, Ill, Aug 21.-Military rule ceased in Springfield to-day, the militia force being reduced to one regiment and the task of preserving order being turned over to the civil authorities. The First cavlary broke camp at daylight and the Seventh in fantry patrols were withdrawn from the streets. Sheriff Werner had an increased force of deputies on duty and city police also was reinforced by few special policemen.
 One case of shooting was reported from the northeast section of the city, sentry asserting that some one had discharged a double barreled shotgun in his direction. The "Shafter cavalry" was sent from the jail headquarters, but no trace of marauders was found.
 Rolla Keys, the boy witness against the alleged assailant of Mrs Mabel Hallam. who was shot acci- dentally by companion yesterday was in satisfactory condition ac- cording to early reports from the hospital to-day.
 The grand jury resumed its inves- tigatiOns to-day. It is understood that further charges against Abra- ham Rayner who was made the sub ject of six indictments were being considered. Rayner now stands for maly accused of murder, malicious mischief and riot. The indictments except the one charging murder, are all based upon his alleged actions while the mob was destroying Lo- per's restaurant Friday last. The murder charge alleges that he took part in the lynching of William Donigan on the succeeding night. The authorities claim to have evi- dence that he was also a ringleader in the raids upon the black belt
 Kate Howard, who was indicted for malicious mischief and riot in four forms was arrested on bench warrant last night. Her bail has been fixed at $10,000.
 The charges against her relate to the footing of the Loper restaurant. Loper was witness before the coroner's jury last night at the in- quest into tn edeath of Louis John- son who was found dead in the base ment of the restaurant. It devel- oped that no autopsy had been held on the body and none of the 1 physicians who had viewed il would venture a positive opinion as to the cause of death. The possi- hility that tha hoy was killed Inv falling into the basement and break ing his neck may cause an exhuma, ton of the corpse.

TO OPEN CASE
Government Will Take Another Whack al inc Standard
 OH Company.
PETITION IS FILED

Chicago, Aug 21.-The govern ment's petition for re-hearing by the United States court of appeals of the case against the Standard Oil Co of Indiana was filed to-day and rep resents, it is authoritatively stated, the administration attempt to save the Elkins act and the interstate commerce law from becoming futile.
 The filing of the petition marked the appearance of Attorney General Bonaparte in the case as well as that of Frank B. Kellogg who is special assistant to the attorney general Be- sides these two names the petition is signed by Edwin w. Sims, United States district attorney at Chicago, and Special Assistant James H. Will kerson, both of whom presented the governments side of the case in the original hearing before Judge Landis who administered the famous fine of $29, 900 against the defendant.
 Although it is not specifically stat ed in the petition it was agreed by counsel for the government in their conference at Lenox, Mass, following the reversal by the appellate court of Judge Landis's decision that if the interpretation of the law given by Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker were allowed to stand, successful prosecution of rebate cases against corporations would be impossible in conference, over which the attorney general of the United States presided, were a unit in expressing the opinion | that the reforms in rebate matters brought about by the Roosevelt ad- ministration would represent so much waste of time unless the upper court can be convinced that it is in error in it's construction of the law.
 "0n but a single point involved in the trial up to the return of the yer dict of guilty" says the petition, "are the rulings of the trial court criticis- ed by the court of appeals. In all other particulars his rulings are sus- tained. The point on which the trial judge is reversed by the court of ap- peals relates to his ruling on evidence and his charge to the jury with ref erence to ignorance on the part of the Standard Oil Co of the lawful rate as a defense. The court of ap- peals in its opinion has not correctly stated how the judge ruled on this subject" |" -......
 Continuing the petition declares that whereas the opinion of the court of appeals states that Judge Landis refused to admit evidence to the eff. feet that the Standard Oil Co did not know what the lawful rate was, the record of proceedings in the lower court shows that such evidence was admitted.
 Although the government points out what it considers other errors ir the opinion of the appellate court, the allegation that the Standard Oil did know that it was not paying the lega rate is regarded as the vital point If with the evidence introduced al the trial before Judge Landis it car be held that the defendant did no have guilty knowledge of its owr acts, then successful prosecution o similar cases is regarded as impossi ble.
