full OF misstatements that 1t deserve!

"The legislature must have

two years He gets $4,000 for sal

Missouri River Appropriation.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
largest appropriation that has been
made for the Missouri river since
1895 is included in the river and
harbor bill which was submitted to
the house as part of the sundry civil
bill.
The Missouri is given a total of
$655,O00. OF this 100000 is to be
expended in work of permanent i'm
provements; $155, 900 for the oper-
alton Of snag boats and maintenance
of plant, and 100000 for emergen-
cy work.
OF this latter sum one half must
be spent above Sioux City. AS to
the other money the engineer in
charge is given free hand to ex-
pend at such places as will be best
to promote the interests Of naviga-
ton, and for the purchase of the new
plant which is badly needed.
When the work on the 12-foot
channel begins in 1910 the river
will probably be given at least 49,
100000.

Taylor senatorial race. The breach
was further widened by Cooper sup
porting Governor Patterson, short
ly after which they ceased speaking.
Cooper told of editorial attack by
Carmack. The editorial entitled
Across the Muddy Chasm" so en-
ragged Cooper that he told Croag
that either Carmack or he (Cooper)
must die If his name appeared again.
The witness admitted he was armed

Monday. He secured revolver on
the night previous from Thomas
Huthcheson at Tuelane hotel. On
returning home at noon he found

THE STANDARD
OIL TRIAL
THE RETRIAL OF THE STAND.
ARD OIL COMPANY, OF INDI-
ANA, DELAYED.
ANDERSON QUAsHED
THE FARMER JURY PANEL ON
MOTION OF DEFENSE.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-The retrial of
the Standard Oil Company, of Indi-
ana, was unexpectedly delayed to-
day when Federal Judge Anderson
quashed the panel of one hundred
and fifty venire which was COM
posed of large proportion Of farm
ers on the motion of the defense
which claimed that it was a farm
ers' jury" which found verdict
in the original case making a
twonty-nine million dollars fine pos
sible, declaring that a fair triah
was wanted. In ordering the panel
set aside the judge said II am not
going outside of the issue when l
say if jury is composed partly of
business men who would realize
the great industrial, commercial
phase of the case more satisfact-
DRY and just verdict would be
reached.
Arguments whether shipment or
settlements of freight charges con-
stitute an offense will be argued to

Millions for Gas Consumers.

New York, Feb. Redistribution
Of the $12,0OO,OOO in rebates due
the gas consumers OF New York, I'M
der the order of the United States
supreme court, was commenced to-
day and will probably be completed
within two months. The suspicious
day was made a gala occasion by
millions of New Workers., since it
marked the final surrender Of the
vanquished Gas Trust and the VIC
tory of the common people," The
decision of the highest tribunal OF
the land in this case will probably
go down in history as one of the most
notable 1t has ever rendered. For
the first time big combine has been
forced to disgorge and practically
every householder in the city will
share in the proceeds of the disgorge-
ment. 1t is estimated that there are
about million and half claimants
who have paid dollar for gas after
the passage Of the s0-cent law, and
the work Of settling all of these
claims will be gigantic task. Ex-
pert accountants have been employed
and the distribution will go forward
with all possible facility. The test Of
the 8O-cent gas law began May /,
1906, and ended with the recent de-
cision of the supreme court uphold
Ing it's constitutionality, and order
ing the return to the consumers Of
any money paid the Gas Trust be-
You'd the legal rate, while the court
test was in progress.

The versatility of Mr.. Roosevelt
will be shown by the fact that he
will speak German In his address be-
fore the students of the University
of Berlin. French in his lecture at
the Sorbonne, and English in de-
livering the Romanes Lecture at OK
ford. 1t is expected that this fea-
ture of his visits to the capitals Of
the three leading nations of Europe
will attract a great deal of atten-
ton. Holland being the home Of
his ancestors in Europe, it is consid-
cred not improbable that he will go
there for short visit, when he I'M
doubtedly would speak in the tongue
of his forefathers. Mr.. Roosevelt's
versatility in language is quite we'll
known in this country, but it will
receive still higher commentator
when he makes his addresses abroad
in the language Of the country he
visits.
One point of particular interest
in London which no doubt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Roosevelt will visit, is st.
Georges church where they were
married in 1886. 1t is likely that
they will be in London on the TWEEN
ty fourth anniversary of their we'd
ding.

Havana, Feb. 24.-Cubans are to-
day celebrating the anniversary of
the commencement of the revolu-
ton against Spain, which ended, by
aid Of the United States, in the free
dom Of the island and the establish
ment of republic. Although the
second attempt at self government,
recently commenced, has been mar
red by many differences between
those in power, the Cubans general
ly are in joyous frame OF mind
and are celebrating the anniversary
with cock-fights and other sorts Of
amusements.
At Mantanzas today, a great stat
ne of Liberty was unveiled and the
affair was made the occasion of a
mammoth celebration. The statue
was executed by Salvatore Buemi,
of Rome, the famous Italian sculp-
tor, and stands in public park
facing the harbor. The sculptor is

PRESBYTERIAN BROTHERHOOD.
1t is Estimated that 5000 Delegates
Are in Attendance at the

timated that 5000 delegates are in

tives of mems clubs of all protest.

iZations in local churches. The
scope of the Presbyterian Brother
hood is sufficiently broad to cover
all forms Of Christian effort by men,
and among the local organizations
federated in the National Brother
hood are represented many different
forms of work, most of them having,
however, the common purpose on
interesting men in the churches and
holding their allegiance to them.
Mems clubs that have no more
definite object than the promotion
of sociability among the men of
given church are eligible for repre-
sentation in the Brotherh God, as
we'll as those which undertake some
definite form of missionary service.
The convention theme, 1.-The
Brotherhood and the Church," and
the following topics will be dis
cussed:
The Man for the Hour in the
State" "The Brotherhood and the
Evangelistic Opportunity of the
Church" 1.-THE Brotherhood and the

the Church., THE Brotherhood and
the Home Missionary Enterprise"
"The Brotherhood and the Foreign

be held in the Pittsburg Presbyter-
ian Church and night sessions in Ex-
position Music Hall.

SECOND OIL TRIAL.
Commences in Chicago Today Before
Judge A. b. Anderson.

- O--.NsstSO
Judge "A. Il. Anderson.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-Attorneys and
witnesses are gathering in Chicago
today for the beginning of the re-
trial of the rebate case against the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana,
which is set for tomorrow before
Judge A. Anderson, of the United
States district court. This is the
case in which the fine of $29,24O,-
900, imposed by Judge Lands, was
reversed by the appellate court.
Albert B. Anderson, who will pre-
side at the trial, is resident of
Indianapolis, and has been United
States District Judge in Indiana
since 1902. Before his elevation to
the bench he was one of the best
known attorneys in the Hoosier
state. Judge Anderson was born at
louisville, Ind, in 1857, was gradu-
ated from Wabash College in 1879,
and was admitted to the bar in 1881
In 1886 and again in 1888 he was
elected prosecuting attorney for
Montgomery county. On several oc-
casions he refused congressional
nominations.
1t was in part due to the efforts
of Judge Anderson that John R.
Walsh. the Chicago banker and pro-
moter, was indicted in connection
with the operations Of his bank
which failed. He was found guilty
of manipulating the funds of the
bank and was sentenced to five
years in prison. His case is now
pending on appeal. Judge Ander-
son presided at the trial.

BRYAN WOULD NOT REFUSE
Says He is Not a Candidate But
Would Again Make Race.

Denver, Feb. 20.-William j.
Bryan again reiterated the state
ment which he made heretofore that
while he is not a candidate for the
democratic nomination for the pres
idency in 1912, he will not refuse
it If it is offered him.
Mr.. Bryan addressed the men,
bers of the Colorado legislature to-
night, urging fulfillment of the
platform pledges by enacting direct
primary and bank guaranty laws.
IF the platform is not binding, 1t
Is scheme for deception" said the
commoner. He urged the adoption
of the Oregon plan for electing
United States senators by popular
vote and approved the iniative and
referendum.
"You ask why the progress of
democracy has been slow" said Mr..
Bryan, ut is because of the Judases
among the democratic apostles. 1t
is because they cannot look into the
hearts of men and tell them they
have been faithful"

Thursday as the time for the hear
ing In this feature of the case, and
as the result Of the hearing it will
be determined whether the federal
court or the state supreme court
has Jurisdiction In the case involv.
ing the 2-cent passenger rate.
The application of the railroad for
the order to show cause alleges that
the prosecution by the attorney gen.
eral of the mandamus proceedings
will be in conflict with the juris-
diction OF the United States court
under the bill of complaint, and in
conflict with the jurisdiction which
the United States court has taken
Of the subject matter of said bill
of complaint under the bill of COM
plant now pending in the United
States court.
The mandamus proceedings insti-
tuted by direction of the attorney
general of South Dakota command
ed the railroads companies to sell
tickets between points on their
lines wholly within South Dakota to
all persons over the age Of 10 years,
with ordinary baggage, not ex-
ceeding $50 pounds, at 2 cents per
mile, and at cent per mile to all
persons under IL years of age, with
baggage not exceeding seventy-five
pounds in weight.
Although many attorneys contend
that there is not the slightest doubt
about the United States court hav-
ing full jurisdiction in the case in
wolving the 2-cent rate, There Us
sufficient doubt about the matter to
make Judge Carland's decision fol-
lowing the hearing on Thursday Of
the utmost Importance, as defining
the status and jurisdiction of state
and federal courts In matters of this
kind.
AT the hearing the railroads will
be represented by an array of at
torneys, while S w. Clark, attorney
and P. w. Dougherty, as
sistant attorney general, will appear
in behalf of the state of South Da-
kota, and will endeavor to have the
state supreme court declare to have
complete jurisdiction in the case.

JAPAN WILL PARTICIPATE.
Will Send Representatives to the
National Irrigation Congress-.


Spokane, Wash, Feb. GOWN.
H. Acuff, president of the Washing
ton Mill Company and head of the
Pennsylvania Society of Spokane,
who represented the Spokane cham
Der of congress at the trade con-
gress in Japan, said on his return
from the orient that there will be
no war between this country and
Japan, adding that it is idle for AM
orleans to speculate upon such an
event. He was at Yokohoma during
the time the American fleet was in
that harbor, and" he continued,
II heard 10000 japanese students
sing America in the English Ian
guage. l may add that the people
of Japan are friendly toward Amer
leans, and know from high sources
that they want no war with u.s.
Mr.. Acuff received assurances
from the department of agriculture
that Japan will send several prom
inent men to the 18th National r.
rigation Congress in Spokane, Aug
ust to IA, also that the country
will forward apples for competition
at the national apple show in this
city next December.
