CHINESE BRUTALLY BEATEN
AND ROBBED BY BANDITS
officer Has Lively Chase with Alleged
Hiahwayman and Arrests Him.
Victim Badly Bruised
by Holdup

Wong Joe, a Chinese gardener. 80
years old, was, 1t is alleged. brutally
assaulted and robbed of $40 yesterday
afternoon by Lewis Harris, race
track tout. aged 80. near Central ave-
nue. and Slauson street.
The University police station was
notified and officer Mojonnier of the
motorcycle squad soon reached the
scene and after a spirited chase cap
tured the alleged highwayman and took
him to the station, where he was iden-
tilted as the man who committed the
robbery
The Chinese was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital for treatment. He was
found to be suffering from bruised
law and a lacerated mouth. One Of
his teeth had been knocked out.
The victim says Harris stepped up
to him and struck him in the face. He
fell to the pavement and the robber
rified his pockets, relieving him of $40.
all the money he had on his person.
Harris is a prisoner at the Univer-
sity station. He refuses to make any
statement. It is probable he will be
arraigned in police court today on a
charge Of highway robbery

tions as a conclusive refutation of what is
evidently recognized IS the strongest rebuttal
argument advanced by the Standard.
In fact, IL is as weak and inconclusive as
the remainder of his argument. The lines OF
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois do not run into
Chicago. They terminate at Dolton, from
which point entrance is made over tn Belt
Line. Whiting, where tho oil freight orig
mates, is not on the lines of the Chicago &
Eastern illinois, which receives its Whiting
freight from the Belt Line at Dolton. The
former practice, now discontinued, in filing
tariffs was to make them read from point
on the line of the fling road, and it was also
general to state on the same sheet that the
tariff would apply to other points, e. g., WHIT
ing. The chicago & Eastern Illinois followed
this practice in filing its rate from Dolton.
and making note on the sheet that It ap-
piled to Whiting. This was in 1895, when
this method of filing tariffs was in common
use.
Now let us see in what way the intending
shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by
the fact that the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
had not filed a rate reading from Whiting.
Commissioner Smith contends that conceal
ment is the only motive for such a circuitous
arrangement" e.. that this method of filing
competitors of the Standard OIL company.
Suppose such prospective oil refner had
applied to she interstate commerce commits
sion for the rate from Chicago to East st.
Louis over the Chicago G. Eastern Illinois, he
would have been informed that the only rate
filed with he commission by this company
was 6K cents from Dolton. and he would
have been further informed, if indeed he did
not know this already, that this rate applied
throughout Chicago territory So that wheth-
er he wisned to locate his plant at Whiting, or
anywhere else about Chicago under an ar
rangement of long standing and which ap-
plies to all the industrial towns in the neigh
borhood of Chicago, he could have his freight
delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported
to East St Louis at a rate of GA cents.
Where, :hen, is the concealment which the
commissioner of corporations makes much
of? Any rate-from Dolton on the Eastern
Illinois OF Chappell on the Alton. or Harvey
on the Illinois Central, or Blue Island on the
Rock Island. applies throughout Chicago ter
ritory to shipments from Whiting, as to ship
ments from any other point in the district
So far from the Eastern Illinois filing its rate
at Dolton in order to deceive the shipper. 1t
is the commissioner of corporations who eth
er betrays his gross ignorance OF tranSporta-
tion customs in Chicago territory or relies on
the public ignorance of these customs to de-
ceive the public too apt to accept unques-
tioningly every statement made by govern
ment official as necessarily true, although,
as in the present instance, careful exam
ination shows these statements to be false.

TAR DYE LAW TO BE
STRICTLY ENFORCED
DEPUT~ DISTRICT ATTORNEY
GIVES OUT WARNINGS
Provisions of Law Enacted at Last
Session of Legislature Explained
and Board of Health Issues
Instructions

That the law passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature providing for the
proper use of coal tar dyes will be
strictly enforced is the declaration made
by H. s. G. Mccartney, deputy district
attorney. and in order that manufac-
turers who use these dyes may know
at the earliest possible date what they
can and cannot do, Mr.. Mccartney has
given out a statement covering the
provisions OF the act.
This statement includes instructions
from the state board of health, and Is
as follows:
81. No coal tar dyes may be used
in foods, except those especially emu
merated in food inspection decisions
76 and n, issued by the agricultural
department at Washington.
20. Although the coal tar dye may
be one there enumerated 1t may not
be used in foods unless 1t has been
tested and certified, given a lot number
and numbered as required by the de-
cision mentioned.
"3. Dealers using and selling dyes
which do not conform to the food in
spection decisions stated are not .pro-
tected by the guarantees mentioned i'm
state or federal pure food acts.
These dyes, 1t is contended, are not
in themselves food products, and the
provisions as to a guarantee do not
apply to them, although In the case of
food colored by the use of forbidden
dyes and sold under the guarantee pro-
vided in either act, the purchasing
dealer would be protected. In case he
buys the dyes and sells them straight
or mixes them with food and sells them
he becomes liable to prosecution.
"a. Although complying in every re-
spect with the requirements of the food
inspection decisions of the agricultural
department, a coloring matter may not
be used to color food so as to deceive
or mislead the purchaser or to conceal
inferiority."

times came along and the American
public hela the President responsible.
The Venezuelan question was one of
the most exciting and alarming fea-
ures of Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton. The application OF the Monroe
doctrine by Mr.. Cleveland in a bound
dary dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela, was a serious matter
and went so far that Congress was
backing up the President with meas
sures anticipative of war.
In 1898 the Wilson bill was the re-
suit of tariff reform, instituted by the
Cleveland administration. Mr.. Cleve-
land made himself clear as to his
standing on the bill even though he
did not sign 1t and 1t became a law
through lapse of period allotted for
signature.
The bond sale was another incident
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
which was long remembered. The re-
serve in the treasury sank so low as
$44, 1000, and the nation was
alarmed. Congress would not respond
to numerous messages sent by the ex-
ecutive. There was friction. The
bond sale resulted, but at the time

WILL RECOMMEND LAW TO STOP

Denver.-In an address before the
Denver Real Estate Exchange Wednes-
day, Governor Buchtel spoke in regard
to the recent conference at the White
House, called by the President to stir
up popular sentiment for the preser-
walton and outstanding OF the natural
resources of the nation. He told the
real estate men something of the in
teresting personal side OF the confer
ence. and then indicated its bearing
upon Colorado.
In the course of his remarks. Gov
ernor Buchtel indicated that he would
recommend extensive legislature tend
ing to preserve the natural resources
of the state. when the Legislature as
sembles in January. He asked for sus-
gestions along these lines, in order that
the laws that he would ask might be
made as practical and comprehensive
as possible.
According to the governor the con-
ference at Washington was along four
general lines-water. land, forests and
the mines. He explained that Colorado
methods OF cultivation were such that
the wearing out of the soil was un'
likely. but that the other three sub
jects were OF vital interest to the state.
The governor explained that 1t now
is the practice in coal mining to ex-
tract only the good product, and that
thereby there was an enormous waste
when the mines are abandoned. He ad-
vocated legislation that would require
the use OF all OF the product. thereby
extending the period during which the
supply would be available.
With reference to water and forests
the governor said that this state should
do everything possible to benefit from
these natural resources. He advocated
the use Of water for producing electrial
power. and its use over again for irri-
eating. The forests. he said, should
be replanted as rapidly as the timber
is cut. thereby insuring a never-ending
supply.
