critically, cycling her new drawing
room on the train to San Francisco;
"the object of our legal methods
seems to be to defend the criminal.
And a very efficient means to this end
is to make 1t so uncomfortable and
costly and inconvenient for any wit
nesses of a crime that he runs away
rather than endure 1t. Here we have
had to stay over so long in Salt Lake
we nearly lost our drawing-room.
But never mind, you got your man
committed. Did you find out anything
about his gang?"
The colonel shook his head. mo,
he's tough country boy; he has the
rural distrust of lawyers and of sweat
boxes. He does absolutely nothing
but groan and swear, pretending his
wound hurts him. But I've a notion
there are bigger people back Of him.
It's most awfully good Of you, Aunt
Rebecca, to stick to me this way"

Keatcham is doing would have been
impossible to my contemporaries. You
saw the morning papers; you know he
means to eat up the Midland?"
"Yes, know" unused the colonel;
"and turn Tracy, the president, down
the one who gave him his start on
his bucaneering career. Tracy de-
clines to be his tool, being. l under

has always run his road for his stock
holders and not for the stock market
A capital crime, that in these days.
So Keatcham has, somehow, by one
trick or another, got enough directors
since Baneleigh died to give him con-
troll; though he couldn't get enough
of the stock; and now he means to
grab the road to use for himself. Poor
Tracy, who loves the road as a child,
they say, will have to stand by and

Rebecca?" drawled the colonel.

our assurance of our position, which
nobody else doubted any more than
we, that kept us so mannerly. Nova
days, nobody has real position. He
may have wealth and a servile follow
ing, who expect to make something
out of him, but he hasn't position. The
newspapers can make fun of him.
The common people watch him drive
by and never think of removing their
caps. Nobody takes him seriously ex-
cept his toadies and himself. And as

loyalty, very useful sentiments in

CHARGES ARE AIRED
IN OIL TRUST" CASE
Statement Freely Made Now That Government Neve
Had Chance to Hold Standard for Penalties. But
Railroads Could Have Been Convicted

Various skeletons arc being extracted
these days from sundry governmental
closets and placed on exhibition.
Ghosts or feuds long suppressed are
stalking forth in the habiliments Of the
tomb. Differences which the vulgar eye
and the commonplace ear have not
been permitted to perceive are getting
aired.
There is the Governments case
against the Standard Oil Company for
accepting rebates from the Alton and
Chicago and Eastern Illinois roads.
Now that the case has been dropped,
after the Government had once inn
posed a fine of SO, 100000 on the Stand
ard Oil Company, some interesting in
side Information about il is coming to
light. II is charged that there never
was a chance ultimately TO hold the
Standard OH Company for penalties,
while, on the other hand. there was an
excellent prospect of convicting the
railroad companies.
But the bureau of Corporations and
the Departr ent OF Justice saw 1t the
other way. nd il is claimed. declined
20 take the advice which was given
them. to go at the prosecution the other
end foremost. As result II Is now
said, the railroads have been given an
immunity hath, and all chance of con-
Victing them is at an end. while the
Standard never was in real danger of
being finally held up for the big fine.
The explanation offered Is very sim
pie. IL is pointed out that the tarin
experts of the Government did not be
lieve the railroad companies had legally
published the rate sheets, showing the
low rates TO St. Louis. which il was
claimed amounted TO giving a prefer
ence to the Standard on its shipments
from Whiting. Ind, to East St. Louis
The law requires these rate sheets
to be filed in due form. The penalty
for failure is imposed on the railroads.
The shipper is not presumed to go back
OF the face of the rate furnished TO
