WILL PUNISH REBATERS.
Roosevelt's Retirement to Have No
Effect on Prosecutions.

Washington, June 23.-"President
Roosevelt's elimination from the polit-
ical field by the nomination of Sec
retary Taft will not cause cessation
of the prosecution of the transporta-
tion companies for violations of the
railroad rate law" said Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane, "but
the law will be enforced strictly.
This commission is an independent
body and has the power to call on the
United States district attorneys
throughout the country to secure in
dictments of railroads for granting re-
bates. Indictments are now being
brought and In the future others will
be framed when 1t is found that the
law is being violated.
"The law has been of great benefit
to shippers, as 1t has stopped discrim-
nations In rates and discriminatory
practices to a large extent. Every
railroad man In the country knows
that 1t Is unsafe and perilous to grant
rebates, directly or indirectly; that
the law will be enforced and that a
pull will be valueless.
During the eighteen months that
the new law has been in effect more
relief has been given shippers than
during the eighteen years the old law
was on the statute books"

FINED $4,000 EACH
Paper Companies in Combine Sen
fenced in Federal Court.
PLEADED GUILTY TO CHAR GE

Claimed They Were Forced to Form
Organization to Protect Themselves
From Bankruptcy Because of Action
of Buyers.
New York, June 23.-Twenty-four
companies manufacturing Manila wrap.
ping paper were fined $4,000 each by
Judge Hough in the United States cir
cult court. They pleaded guilty on
Friday last to maintaining an illegal
combination in restraint of trade.
They were members of the Manila and
Fibre association.
In imposing the fines Judge Hough
said that the combination of paper
manufacturers was a clear violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, but be-
cause of extenuating circumstances he
would impose fine only. The COM
panies have arranged to pay their
fines through their counsel.
The case against the companies was
instituted through the instrumentality
of the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association, for which John Norris
of this city acted as agent. The COM
panies composed almost the entire
membership of the combine of wrap
ping paper manufacturers, which was
organized by John II. Parks In 1906.
On complaint of Mr.. Norris the fed.
eral grand jury began an investiga
ton of the combine two months age
and on Friday last returned indiot
ments against Parks and twenty-five
companies. Mr.. Parks was in Europe
, but Solomon NJ Stroock, counsel for
the combine, appeared in the federal
court and pleaded guilty for twenty
three of the companies. District At.
torney Stimson, who had charge of the
cases, stated in court that in view OF
the fact that the companies had saved
the government expense by pleading
guilty he was willing that light fines
should be imposed Counsel for the
companies declared that the combine
was formed two years ago to save
them from bankruptcy because of the
methods of agents for consumers, who
he alleged, favored first one group OF
paper mills and then another in order
to cut prices. Counsel also declared
that the combine was dissolved when
1t learned that the association came
within the provisions of the Sherman
law

SECRETARY TAFT ABOARD
Flyer on Pennsylvania Road Narrowly
Escapes Disaster.

Denison, o., June 23.-Whife on his
way East Secretary Taft had narrow
escape from being In what might have
been one of the worst wrecks In the
history of the Pennsylvania road. The
secretary and party were on the Penn
sylvania flyer when the piston rod on
the left side of the engine broke. Only
the prompt action of the signal man
in the tower station third of a mile
from Coshocton and the presence of
mind of the engineer of the flyer
saved the train from utter destruc-
tion.
The train was travelling at the rate
of fifty miles an hour and when the
piston rod broke the cylinder of the
engine was cracked by the flying rod
The train was just approaching a
signal tower east of Coshocton. The
operator saw that something serious
was wrong and threw down signal
to step the train. The engineer ap-
] piled the emergency brakes and the
train OF six cars came to stop on q
sharp curve.

LOSS ABOUT ST ,OOO, 900.
Severe Storm Sweeps Over Southern
Minnesota.

st. Paul, June 23.-Minnesota suf-
fered s1,000,000 loss from the storm
that swept over its southern and
southwestern portions. The loss Is
principally to the crops and live stock,
although there were thousands of dol
lars damage done to farm and city
buildings.
There was no tornado accompany
ing the storm. There was high wind
that did great damage, but the prin-
cipal loss was from hail and rain.
So far but one death has been re-
ported. That was Carl Gramenza, a
farmer in Brown county. Gramenza
was struck by bolt of lightning that
set fire to his barn.
The hail in many places was of
enormous size and OF terrific force.
Crops were beaten to the ground
wherever 1t struck. The storm was
many miles In width and left total
ruin In Its path.
Much of the damage was due to
lightning Buildings were burned and
stock was killed In the fields.
Candy, in the center of Yellow Med
icine county, was the first Minnesota
town struck. Cottonwood, Lyon coun.
ty, was caught In its grip and the
crops of the county were ruined.
In Brown and Redwood counties,
which were next visited, the damage
will reach many thousands of dollars
Sweeping across Blue Earth county
the storm struck Waseca, Steele, Fari-
bault and Freeborn counties.
Near Austin, In Mower county, the
storm reached its greatest fury. For
nearly an hour the storm battered in
windows and doors, tore off roofs and
dragged down telegraph and telephone
wires
