WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-President

of William ]. Bryan, given out by him

was no reason why he should answer II.

that President Roosevelt had no intention
at present of making a speaking tour in
behalf of the republican candidate for the
presidency. Many invitations had been re-
ceived by the president, Mr.. Loeb said,
but Mr.. Roosevelt never has stated that he
would take the stump.
When asled whether. II the situation
took such a turn that the president might
consider that making g speaking tour
would materially aid the republican cause,
the president in that event would take the
stump, Mr.. Loeb replied that he might or
might not do so. and added that no one
could tell what the future would bring
forth.

GOVERNMENT WILL CRITICIZE
OIL TRUST CASE DECISION

Chicago, Aug. 15-United States Dis
trict Attorney Sims and Special Coun-
sci Wilderson departed for Northern
Michigan tonight to spend week
gathering energy to fight the Standard
Oil lawyers for a hearing of the case
in the United States circuit court of
appeals
Sims realizes that the final deter
mination of the case will either uphold
or render ineffective the antitrust and
rebating laws.
If the decision is sustained, accord
ing to Sims, the work of the admins
tration for the past seven years will be
lost and the big corporations may then
proceed to violate the law and expect
only nominal fines whenever they are
caught.
In its forthcoming petition the gov
eminent will doubtless indulge In
sharp criticism of the court. The doc
ument has been approved by the at
torney general. President Roosevelt
set the seal of his approval on the in
strument as an expression of the atti-
tude of the government. Sims refuses
TO discuss the case until it's final dis
position.
A number of secret service men have
oeen collecting data of alleged rebat-
ing by Western roads since the Gross
cup decision. If they succeed in OBJ
tanning sufficient evidence to warrant
presentation of facts to the grand jury
new indictments will be returned.

APPLE SHOW BULLETIN
Is BEING DISTRIBUTED

Spokane, Aug 15.-The official bull
letin of the National Apple Show, to be
held in Spokane December to IL in
elusive, has been issued and will be
sent at once in large numbers to apple
growers and horticulturists throughout
the United States. The bulletin is a
substantial pamphlet of sixteen pages,
and is made up Of numerous artistic
cuts, reproducing the armory, in which
the apple show will be held, scenes
along the Spokane river, some of the
large buildings of the city and bust
ness streets, and some Illuminating ed
itorial comments on the purpose, aims
and hopes of those in charge of the Or
ganizatiOn.
The number of requests that have
been received during the last month
and the wide range of territory from
which they have come prove that the
interest in the apple show. far from
being confined to the Northwest, ex-
tends to the Atlantic seaboard, into
Canada and well to the south OF Ma
son and Dixon's line. During last
week 1928 requests for the premium
list were received in one day, accord
ing to Assistant Secretary Bond.
The bulletin announces that $4,000
will be awarded in premiums during
the show, many of them being offered
by Eastern, Canadian and Southern
growers as well as by orchardists in
the West.

Ion Of Alabama against the Louisville

nocod the state, which is only a part
IF the territory covered by the rail-
GODS in question, will be taxed $780,

The commission of Alabama, there
fore has filed a petition with the ILL.,
nois Central, preventing the railroad
from exercising it's tremendous power.
The combine is known as the South
eastern Freight Association of Rail-
loads and it is declared in the petition
that the raise in rates affects largely
the necessities of life. Again, the Pc
titioners affirm that the railroads are
not justified in the proposed advance
in rates during period of financial
depression.
Making it's position plain, the Ala
hama commission says:
The narrow margin of profit OBJ
tanned by the dealer will not permit
him to absorb the entire advance, so
that the consuming public will be
forced to bear the sole proportion of
the additional tax represented by a
proportionate increase in prices. The
effect of the increased rates inevitably
will restrict the volume of traffic, re-
duce the business of citizens of Ala
bama and deprive the consuming pub
lie of the ability to purchase and use
those commodities to that extent to
which they are entitled"
