HOTEL CELLS

The chief difference between the
average hotel cell and the average
prison cell, viewed from the stand
point Of social psychology. is that one
is locked on the inside TO keep out
siders out. while the other is locked
on the outside to keep insiders in.
The OCCUPANT OF the hotel cell is afraid
that something will be done to him
or that something will be taken from
him by some one who ought to be in
a prison cell. That is the theory OF i.

FINAL HEARING
Motion to Solve Standard Oil OF New
Jersey Comes up for Monday.

ST LOUIS. Mo, April 5,-rhe
Governments suit to dissolve the
Standard oil Company OF New Jersey
will come up for tiinal hearing in the
United States Circuit Court here
Monday, with Judges Van Deyanter.
sanborn. Adams and Cook on the
bench, The case was originally set
for March %, but at the request e
the defendant was postponed.
All OF the testimony has been taken
and both written and oral argument
will be submitted. The record Of
testimony to be reviewed is contained
in nineteen typewriter volumes con
tanning 25000 pages and about 1880
900 words. or this there are 4,S000OO
words of oral testimony and about T.
100000 words and groups Of figures
in the exhibits.
The suit which probably will go
down in history as the most expensive
ever undertaken by the Federal Gov
crnmcnt. was filed in this city in Dee
embcr, 1906, aud the taking OF testi-
mony began the following year The
Government presented 100 witnesses
and the Standard Oil Company l4Q.
The complaint in the case, occupying
2S7 pages, including the exhibits,
names seven individual defendants,
besides the Standard Oil Company Of
New Jersey and sixty-nine alleged
subsidiary oil companies.
The individual defendants named
are John D, Rockefeller, William
Rockefeller. H, H, Rogers, Henry NJ.
Flager, John D, Archbold, Oliver II.
Payne. and Charles NJ, Pratt. The
Government in its attempt to prove
that Standard is monopoly operating
in restraint Of trade produced a mass
Of pipe line and railroad rate testi-
mony, purporting to show that unfair
competition existed. In its defense
the Standards most important line of
testimony was that regarding the
agreement Of 1882, in which it was
shown that, instead Of grouping 4
of competing lines under one
the Standard merely
gathered its own properties under a
more concrete head. The question Of |
the companies which were in
existence before the enactment of the
Sherman antitrust law in 1890 will
be held as violators Of the require
ments of that law will be one Of the .
most important the four Judges of the
Eight Circuit will be called upon to
decide. /

Lhe ravages Of the water.

/ the ravages of the water
Until the special trains commenced
to arrive this morning hundreds OF
residents of the city were compelled
to make their morning meal off OF
canned goods, as practically the en-
tire supply of fresh meats and vege-
tables we're carried away with the
crest of the food
Nevada street, the principal thor
oughfare of the city, is practically In
ruins. Hardly a business house on
this street withstood the ravages of
the waters. Every business house in
the city was more or less damaged 4
by the food. That there was not
more loss OF life is today considered
miracle.
The thriving little city was hard
ly alive to It's danger before q tor
rent of water, 12 feet high, was pour
ing down its main street and the
principal residential section of the
town. The list of fatalities would
have been greatly Increased but for
the number of heroic rescues made.
Emil Grutt, one of the wealthiest
citizens of the town, at the risk OF
his own life, plunged into the seeth-
ing waters and dragged Mrs. Robeloff
and her two children to places Of
safety. Two little boys who had
gone into food, with the caving of
bank, were saved when p. r. Why
took dove in after them.
When the food was at its crest,
aud everything was looking black
scores OF men dove into the waters
and pulled out women and children
who had been carried away by the
force OF the food. In this way scores
OF lives were saved.
Despite the havoc wrought by the
storm, a spirit OF optimism prevails
today Already plans are under way
to replace the destroyed buildings
with better and more substantial
ones.
With the subsiding OF the waters
today the work OF clearing away the
wrecked buildings was Immediately
started, and as soon as this is finished
work on a greater Rawhide will be-
gin.

SCHEME A
FAILURE
IN BOISE

Boise people have for the past few
weeks witnessed a change in the
method OF handling the social evil,
remarks the Boise Statesman.
Heretofore the women OF the un-
derworld were compelled TO remain
in a restricted district. Now they
are scattered all over the city and
make Main street the scene of their
operations. TO a revolving extent.
Rooming houses are filled with
these women; they have sought the
residence districts, under various pre-
texts as to their occupation. and they
ply their trade on the city's princi-
pal thoroughfares until respectable
women hesitate to be seen on the
streets after dark.
This condition Is called "eradica-
tion OF the social evil," but, like 80
many so-called cures, II is impotent.
II only scatters the disease over the
social body
II one has a sore on his arm he
will give II common sense treatment
to the end that IL does not spread.
He will not attempt To delude him
self into the belief that he has eff
fected a cure because the visible evi-
dence has been slightly diminished.
while the blood has been contamin-
ated. and the poison has permeated
every avenue OF the body.
