tory had been guilty. Considering the fact
that these shippers included the packers and
elevator men of Chicago the action OF the,
grand jury in calling upon President Moffett'
TO furnish evidence of their wrong-doina y
be interpreted as demand for an Ella
tion OF the obvious; but the fact that q
book containing these freight rates for N
shippers was offered In evidence during thu
trial and ruled out by Judge Landis was
kept out Of sight. President Moffett would
not, OF course accept the invitation of the
grand jury although he might have been
pardoned III he had referred them to various
official Investigations by the Interstate Com
merce Commission and other departments of
the Government.
OF the whole matter which is that the Stand
ard OIL Company of Indiana was fined an
amount equal to seven or eight times the
value OF its entire property, because it's traffic
department did not verify the statement of
the Alton rate clerk, that the six-cent COM
modify rate on oil had been properly filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
There is evidence, and mono was intro
duced at the trial, that any shipper of oil
from Chicago territory had been interfered
with by the eighteen-cent rate nor that the
failure of the Alton to file its six-cent rate
had resulted in any discrimination against
any independent shipper,-we must take this
on the word of the Commissioner of Cor
porations and Of Judge Lands. Neither is it
denied even by Mr.. Smith that the 'inde-
pendent" shipper or oil, whom he pictures as
being driven out of business by this dlscrim-
ination OF the Alton, could have shipped all
the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via
BOLTON over the lines of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois to East st. Louis. In short,
President Mohetts defence is still good and
we predict will be declared so by the higher
court.
The Standard Oil Company has been
charged with all manner of crimes and mis-
demeanors Beginning with the famous Rice
Of Marietta, passing down to that apostle of
popular liberties, Henry Demarest Lloyd,
with his Wealth Against the Commonwealth,
offensive personalities, we finally reach the
representation in the report of the Commits
been charged with every form of commercial
piracy and with most Of the crimes on the
corporation calendar. After long years OF
strenuous attack, under the leadership of the
President of the United States, the corpora
ton is at last dragged to the bar OF justice TO
answer for its misdoings. The whole strength
OF the Government is directed against it, and
at last, We are told, the Standard Oil Com
pany is to pay the penalty of its crimes and
1t is finally convicted of having failed to
verify the statement of a rate clerk and is
forthwith fined prodigious sum, measured
by the car. Under the old criminal law, tho
theft OF property worth more than a shilling
was punishable by death. Under the inter-
probation OF the Interstate Commerce law
by Theodore Roosevelt and Judge Kenesaw
Lands, a technical error of a traffic official
is made the excuse for the confiscation OF q
vast amount OF property.

A Missouri man tells of an Irish
man named Coughlin, who lived in a
shanty standing in a field near the
main highway from Kansas City. The
foundations Of the shanty were lower
than the road, through which ran a
big water main. AS the living floor
of the place was raised on posts to
make it level with the highway, it
left a large cellar underneath, where
Coughlin kept a dozen hens.
One day the water main burst,
flooding the cellar and drowning the
hens. Whereupon Coughlin took
steps to enter a claim for damages
against the city. After much delay
influential friends succeeded in Sc
curing the sum of S25 in settlement
of Coughlin's claim.
I've got me money! shouted the
Irishman to a neighbOr sitting on the
steps of the next sbanty.
It's glad that ! am to hear thot, 1"
was the reply. And how much was
1t, Coughlin?"
"Twinty -foive dollars"

How To StoD A Nose Bleed.

but with his open palm dealt the

and after a test found the bleeding
had stopped. I'm subject to these

with a view to advising whether or
not the Isthmian Canal Commission
should purchase steamers and estab-
lish a service between Panama and
the Pacific Coast ports of the United
States, to be operated in conjunction
with the steamers now running be-
tween New York and Colon"
In his report Mr. Bristow criticises
the service of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company to Panama. He
thinks q Government line on the Pa
cific coast would be desirable for the
transportation of canal supplies and
materials and canal employees, for
keeping open and improving the 18TH
milan route of commerce and for pro-
curing cargo for the Panama Rail-
road steamships homeward bound
| from Colon
Mr.. Bristow represents General
Manager Schwerin, Of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, as COM
planning against the action Of the
| United States in permitting foreign
! lines TO use the Isthmian Railway
upon the same terms as American
| lines. Mr.. Bristow argues that as
the use of all nations on equal terms,
| there should be no discrimination
now against foreign steamships.
Mr.. Bristow says that TO perform
the service required on the Pacific
Coast would necessitate the purchase
of from six to nine vessels. HIS esti-
mates the cost of these vessels as
from S3,50O,0O0 to $6,000,00O.

board and a low free board, that ma
ton was Japan.
He pointed out that Japan had fol-
lowed the plan of low free boards,
while Russian ships had the high
free boards. The Russian ships are
now at the bottom of the sea, while
Japanese ships are still floating.
Since the Russian-Japanese war,
the Japanese have been building their
ships so that the free boards are still
lower 1t had been ascertained that
the Russians, apparently realizing the
error Of their high free boards when
going to battle in the Sea of Japan,
had pumped water between their
decks, and had even loaded coal in
the staterooms of the officers in order
to get their ships as close 20 the water
as possible, and afford the least pos
sible taget
American ships, he said, had a lit
tie more free board than the Japan
csc and little less than the English
ships of the Dreadnought type, the
English, in order to get greater speed
having been forced to allow a little
more free board.
The questions raised in the Reuter-
dahl article, he said, had afforded
subjects for argument, dispute, con-
trOversy and discussion among naval
architects since the construction of
the modern navy began and doubt
less always would do so. There was
always a fight between armor men
and armament men, between steam
engineering departm ents and other
departments, but the result in the
end had been the construction of YES
sells which present the best knowledge
of naval architects.
No nation had followed the French
style of naval construction. That
was a distinctive class by itself, but
in general there was similarity among
the English, American and Japanese
STYLES.

Washington, D. C.-Rear-Admiral
Washington Lee Capps, Chief of the
Bureau OF Construction and Repair
of the Navy Department, made an
swer to the critics of the navy at
hearing before the House Committee
on Naval Affairs. To the minds prac-
tically of all the members of the COM
mittee, Admiral Capps statements
were complete refutatiOn of the
charges which have been made
against certain features of the con-
struction of American battleships.
Admiral Capps displayed no ami
mostly or ill-feeling toward the
chronic and scientific fault-finders,
and discussed the subject of naval ar
chitecture in a dispassionate way
While he riddled the Reuterdahl ar
ticle in McClure's Magazine in it's
general features, still he gave credit
to certain criticisms made. In partic-
ular he admitted the justice of the
criticism of the ammunition hoists
on battleships. He advocated COM
plete change of hoists, and asked for
an appropriation of $175, 900 to this
end.
The Admiral discussed at length
the question of high free boards and
low free boards on battleships. He
said that the general type of naval
architecture which is followed by the
Board of Construction is the same as
has been followed since 1889. This
style was adopted by Great Britain
after the subject had been considered
thoroughly and exhaustively by the
leading naval architects and experts
of the country, in fact, of the world.
1t is the style generally followed to-
day by England in the building of her
biggest ships.

ton more than any other which by
reason of sea-fighting experience
should be able to distinguish between

but the couple stayed together in the
