element, as Charged.

Independence, Kan, March lii.
g. Jaynes. son-in-law of Senator Sam
Porter of Caney. is a free man and
does not even have to pay the costs.
The case of the state against him on
the charge of embezzlement was
brought by Senator Porter after the
IRE in a store managed by James in
Caney.
1t will be remembered that Porter
and his wife assisted Mr.. Jaynes in
getting his start and that after he had
been in business for some time. he had
the misfortune to burn out. Porter
then claimed that Jaynes had embez-
zled $500 and he was arrested.
Jaynes held from the first that the
charges made against him by his
father-fn-lay were malicious and he
also stated that he thought that they
were made for the intention of sepa-
rating him from his wife. She stood
by him throughout his preliminary
and appeared confident that he was
right.

never seen Burns in action and can
not. therefore. properly pass judgment
on his merits. I have seen Johnson
and he looks good in a pugilistic way.

Debate on Subject Excited
Lively Interest.

Washington, D. c. Under suspen-
sion of the rules the House of Repre-

for the restoration of the motto "In
God We Trust on the gold and silver
coins Of the United States.
The bill was passed by vote of
255 to 5. The debate on the subject
excited the liveliest interest.
Mr.. Carlin, of Virginia, said that in
the issuance of the order aboiishing
the motto President Roosevelt had
acted unwisely and in violation of the
spirit of the law.
Ollie James, of Kentucky, declared
that in the Judgment of the Christian
people of the United States, the Pres
ident had made a great mistake.
In opposing the BILL Mr.. Kuster-
mann, Wisconsin, said that the motto
smacked of irreverence which went
dangerously close to sacrilege.

calculated Mr. Gordon, of Georgia.

100 MEN RULE NATION,
SAYS La TOILETTE
Wisconsin Senator Declares Re-
cent Panic Was Planned.
AMENDMENTS TO ALDRICH BILL
railroad Bonds Dropped - Senate
Committee Votes to Eliminate
This Feature of Currency Meas
ure-Synopsis Of Speech.

Washington, D. C.-Congress was
electrified by the sudden elimination
Of the railroad bond feature from the
Aldrich Currency bill, and later by a
bitter attack on the measure by Sem
aIor Robert M. La Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin, in which he charged that it was
the legislation most desired by the
comparatively small clique which has
succeeded in dominating the finances
Of the country. The business of the
Nation, he declared, has gradually
been centralized until it is directed
by the men who control the New York
banks, and these men number less
than loo.
Aldrich s remuneration of the clause
of his measure admitting railroad
bonds as a basis for the issuance of
emergency currency occasioned as
constituent This rcnunciation was
made in committee just before the
Senate met Other minor conces-
sions were made, but the railroad
bond feature overshadowed every
thing else. At first it was believed
that the action was taken to embar-
rass La Toilette, whose address was
understood to be leveled principally
at this phase of the measure.
La Toilette was late in RISING to
address the Senate. He declared that
the recent panic originated through
the Capitalization of business in the
hands of few men. These men, he
charged later, had plotted to bring
about the panic to satisfy business,
legislative and political grudges, and
to advance their own selfish interests.
Il have here a list Of about 100
men, he said, waving paper at the
Senate, who control the Industrial,
financial and commercial life OF the
| American people. In the grasp of
these 100 men is the destiny of the
Republic. The country does not seem
to realize how closely allied are the
great banking houses of the money
centres to this Capitalization.
Senator La Toilette here read list
of the names of the men who con-
troll the industrial and transportation
enterprises and the banks of the
country. Continuing, he said:
mo student of the economic
changes in recent years can escape
the conclusion that the ownership
and control of railroads, telegraph,
shipping, cable, telephone, traction,
express, mining, iron, steel, coal, oil,
gas, electric light, cotton, copper,
sugar, tobacco, agricultural imple-
ments and the feed products are COM
pletely controlled and mainly owned
by these men,"

RUBBER TRUST CUTS PAY.
Slackening Business Causes Sales
men to Suffer Reduction.

New York City.-That the financial
panic has not failed to affect what
are known as the big business inter-
ests is shown by the fact that the rub
Der goods industry of this country is
facing falling off in trade. The
Rubber Trust is feeling the stress to
such an extent that reduction Of
| wages has been planned.
Recently orders were sent forth to
the hundred or more of the Trusts
retail and wholesale companies that
expenses must be cut.
Owing to the union rules and
agreements, wages to mechanics could
not be cut, and the higher priced men
alone will have their salaries reduced.
On April 1 the statesmen and clerks
/ of the rubber business in the East
and the majority of those employed
by firms in the West affiliated with
the Trust will be forced to stand a
/ reduction in salaries. The reduction
will not be less than ten per cent,
and in some cases will amount to
twenty-five per cent.
The men affected by the economical
regime are indignant.
