STANDARD OIL INTERVIEWS.
Is Given Leave to Take Part in Great
Northern Appeal From Fine.


Washington. Jan. S.-On behalf OF
the Standard Oil company, Attorney
f. D. McKenna of this city yesterday
filed a petition in the supreme court
of the United States for leave to in
tervene in the case of the Great
Northern railway, involving the Ell
kins law imposing fines for granting
or accepting rebates, which was re
pealed by the Hepburn railroad rate
law of the last congress. The same
question is involved in the case in
which Judge Lands imposed a fine OF
over $29, 600. 900 on the oil company,
and consequently the decision in the
Great Northern case will have a direct
bearing on the Standard Oil compa-
ny's case.
The petition was granted and a
brief will be filed in the case IN be
half of the Standard. Attorney Gen
eral B~onaparte made no objection, but
said the government did not concede
that the two cases are parallel.
The Great Northern company was
indicted Nov. 8, 1906, for giving re-
bates. Besides Directing to the suffi-
cheney of the Indictment on a techni-
cal ground. the company contends
that the original provisions Of the Ell
kins law, under which it was indicted,
were repealed by the Hepburn act.
The contention of the government
is that the original provisions of the
Elkins law. SO far as necessary for
the prosecution of offenses committed
hereunder prior to the passage of the
Hepburn act, were saved by section
IS of the Revised Statutes.

GOVERNOR ORDERS OUT TROOPS
Will Help Police Maintain Order Dur
ing Strike at Muncie, Ind.

Muncie, Ind, Jan. 5. - At a confer
ence last night between Adjt. Gen.
Perry, Mayor Guthrie. the sheriff, city
officials and several prominent citi.
Gems it was decided to ask Gov. Han
ly to send state troops here at once.
When yesterdays work was ended,
many Of the policemen who had been
on constant duty for foreiy-eight
hours lay down on the station floor
and fell asleep. The majority of the
special men who had been sworn in
refused to serve longer.
AS a result Gen. Perry telephoned
Gov. Hanly details of the situation,
and he promptly ordered out Battery
A and four companies from Indianapo-
lis and eight companies from other
cities In the state. The understand
ing is that martial law is not to be
proclaimed unless necessary, the duty
of the troops being to work in con.
junction with the police in maintain.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. THE end OF
the prosecution of the men charged
with the murder of Former Governor
Frank St%eunenberg, with the excep-
ton of the cases of Harry Orchard
and Jack %Simpkins, came Saturday
with the acquittal of George A.. Petit
bone. Charles H. Meyer, president of
the Western Federation of Miners,
who was under indictment with Petit
bone and Haywood for the murder of
Gov. Steunenberg, was formally re-
leased Saturday afternoon and in a
few days he will return with Pettibone
to Denver.
The case of Orchard, the self-con-
fessed assassin of S~teunenberg, is in
the hands of Prosecuting Attorney
Vanduyn of Canyon county. No state
ment as to the future procedure in the
case has been made, but it will be call
ed during the next term OF the court
at Caldwell, when it will probably be
disposed of finally.
Simpkins, a member of the execu-
tive board of the Western Federation
Of Miners, who is charged with com
plicity in the crime, is a fugitive from
justice and the charge against him
will stand.
The verdict freeing Pettibone was
reached after fourteen hours delibera.
ton and was received without any
demonstration in the court room.
Pettibone, pale and emaciated be-
of his long illness, merely
smiled as he heard of his freedom, and
a moment later he was surrounded by
his attorneys and friends.

GRAFT IS ALLEGED
BY GOVERNMENT
FORMER CHEMIST IN BUREAU
OF PRINTING is ONE OF THE
ACCUSED.
MADE $4,000 OUT Of DEAL
INK MANUFACTURERS ALSO IN.
DIcTEp FOR CONSPIRACY TO
DEFRAUD.

Washington, Jan. SOLICITATION OF
fraud and graft in supplying the bu-
reau of engraving and printing with
black drv color used in the manufac-
ture OF ink. resulted yesterday i'll the
indictment by the federal grand jury
here OF Edwin NJ. Nandyck, formerly
a chemist and inkmaker employed IN
the bureau, and Victor Bloede, presi-
dent of the Victor Bloede company,
manufacturers of fine inks and colors.
Vandyck and Bloede are charged in
the indictments with conspiracy to de
fraud the government, the allegation
being that they entered into an agree
ment by which Bloede was to pay
Vandyck a percentage of the money
his III received from the gov
eminent for the black dry color fur
nished to the bureau of engraving and
printing.
Gets $4,000 Out Of It.
Vandyck. it is alleged. in his posi-
ton of chemist and inkmaker OF the
bureau. had to pass upon the samples
of the color submitted by various
manufacturers. 1t is charged that he
fraudulently favored the Baltimore
company, and that as a result of the
conspiracy he was paid by Bloede in
the course of several years between
between $4,000 and 5000.
The Indictment purports to give de-
tails of the transaction between Van
dyck and Bloede as to payments
made the former. 1t appears that
Vandyck received his commission in
the form of checks, which after be
ing Endorsed he would return to the
Bloede company and receive in lieu
thereof New York drafts.
Something Just as Good.
Attorneys for both Nandyck and
Bloede appeared before Justice Stat
ford yesterday and agreed to $4,000
bail. The attorneys asserted that the
indictments We're of a technical ma
ture, and that the alleged fraud did
not involve necessarily a loss to the
government. They claimed that the
bureau received the best colors OBJ
tainable at a price 10 cents less per
pound han it had paid prior to the
making of contracts with the Bloede
company.

ADMIRAL'S CONDUCT is CON-
DEMNED AS UNSEEMLY AND
IMPROPER.
TAKES HAND IN NAVAL ROW
CAUSTIC OBSERVATIONS ON CON.
TROVERSlES IN NAVY DE-
PARTMENT.

washington, Jan. I. president
Roosevelt's attitude on the question
OF the command Of hospital ships in
the navy, which resulted in the resig-
nation of Admiral Willard NJ. Brown
son and incidentally some caustic OBJ
servations on that incident and the
controversies among the naval officers
and their adherents as to details Of
naval construction and methods OF
training we're made known yesterday
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press two letters from the president
addressed to him on these subjects.
UnseemIy and Improper.
In the first Of these letters Presi-
dent Roosevelt without mincing words
condemns in unmeasured terms the
act of Admiral BrownsOn. declaring it
to be unseemly and improper. The
question as to which Admiral Brown
son took issue with the navy depart
ment, the president declares, is one
to which there can be entirely legiti.
mate differences of opinion, but he
adds: There is no room for differ
ence Of opinion as to the gross impro-
priety of the admiral'S conduct in re-
signing o than carry out the Or
ders of his superior officer in such a
matter.
D~isloyaIty to Country.
The officers of the navy must re-
member that it is not merely childish
but in the highest degree reprehensi-
BILE to permit either their personal
pique, wounded vanity Or factional
feeling on behalf of some particular
bureau or organization to render them
disloyal to the interests of the navy,
and therefore Of the country as a
whole"
Regarding the controversies in the
navy, the president admits there al
ways are and always will be defects to
correct. both in the construction of
ships and in the organization of the
department and in the actual drill Of
the fleet.
Scathing Rebuke.
1t is well, he says, that these de-
fects be pointed out. but it is also well
that they should be pointed out with
out historical exaggeration or mali
cious untruthfulness. He scathingly
rebukes those guilty of exploiting
them in grossly exaggerated form in
the fancied interest of an individual
or clique of individuals, Or for the
sake of supplying sensational material
to newspapers.
Worked Without Hitch.
The presidents second letter to Mr..
Metcalf is an argument to sustain his
decision to assign medical officers to
the command of hospital ships. Hos
pital ships should be maintained in
peace exactly under the same condi-
lions as in time of war" declares the
president. THE system has been tried
In the army and tried in foreign ma
vies ard has worked without a hitch"

LIABILITY LAW is INVALID.
Federal Statute Is Knocked Out by
United States Supreme Court.

Washington. Jan. Shat the con
gressional act known as the employ
erS' liability law is not in accord
ancc with the constitution of the Unit
or States, because it goes beyond the
bounds permitted in the regulation
of interstate commerce. was the o
ciusion reached by the supreme court
OF the United States in deciding two
damage cases coming to the cour
from the federal courts of Kentucky
and Tennessee which were brought
under the provision of the law.
The decision was announced by JUS
tice White, the court standing 5 to 4
against the law. Even among the five
who voted not to sustain the statute
there were differences of opinion.
Much interest was manifested in the
result of the courts deliberations.
Decisions of the lower court almost
uniformly have been to the effect that
the law relating to the liability of the
railroads in interstate commerce vio-
lates the provisions of the federal CON
stitution.
FFoDiem Is OINiCuIt.
Whether any part of the law is left
intact upon which new legislation can
be made effective along the lines
sought to be covered is a problem.
The law passed by the last congress
aimed to v all interstate carriers,
and provided that in actions to re-
cover damages for personal injuries to
employees, where such injuries have
resulted in his death. the fact that
the employee may have been guilty of
contributory negligence should not
bar recovery where the contributory
negligence of the employer was great.
Jurisdiction Is the Rule.
The majority opinion of the court
does not dwell SO much upon the pro-
visions of the law in respect to the
negligence of either employee or en-
ployer, but turns almost wholly upon
the question of overlapping jurisdic-
ton in the attempt of congress to
reach interstate railroads. thereby
covering cases which the court holds
are for the cognizance Of the state
courts.

Now that summer time ano

erybody who summers at home
is considering how to simplify
things and get the most comfor,
out of an uncomfortable situa.
ton.
We inteview the ice-man; order
thin clothes; plan to ease up

than likely forget the one most
important item in the wohle hot.
weather scheme-some means Of
doing the family cooking with.
out the insufferable heat of coal
fire in the kitchen.
Everyone with experience
knows how tiresome it is to stay
in stuffy room to prepare n
meal, let alone the doing Of a big
baking. But everyone doesn I
know how easy it is to change a
hot kitchen to cool one, and do
better cooking at the same time.
lust add to your list of summer
conveniences a New Perfection

and you've done all that anyone
can do to lessen hot weather dis
comfort.
Wouldn't it be fine of a sum-
mer morning to step in the kitch-
EN-. put on the kettle, broil the
steak, bake the mullins, filter the
coffee and give the breakfast call
N one-fourth the time you'd take
to do it on coal stove?
And wouldn't it be fine to be
as cool when the breakfast was
prepared as when you first en-.
'ered the kitcheng
People who have tried it say
hat the New Perfection Oil
Stove actually does everything in
the line of cooking and domestic
service without overheating the
room or the worker.
ChdouDteuiy the reason is to
be found in the blue flame prin-
"iple on which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney concen-
trates the heat at the stove top
and in this way prevents surface
radiation as in coal or wood
