ARE FARMERS IN GRAIN TRUsT7
Coast Shippers Say Union Violates
Sherman Law.

Portland, Ore.-Evidenee is now be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion, the coast grain combine and
transportation companies would have
one believe, which tends to show that
the greatest "farmers trust IN the
northwest exists in violation of the
Sherman antitrust act. This evidence
is so strong, say corporation lawyers,
who represent that they succeeded IN
eliciting it at the present hearing on
the Astoria grain rate case, that they
assert it to be substantial basis for
criminal procedure against the Off
GERS and directors of the Farmers Edu-
cational Cooperative union, one Of the
eomplainants in the issues now before
Commissioner Clark.
These attorneys of opponents Of the
farmers union allege that according TO
the testimony of members of the union
the organization is secret society and
its purpose is to control the price. sale,
disposition and movement Of grain.
cit is the elearest case of violation
of the Sherman act ! ever saw com
mented George It. Reid, general west
ern counsel for the Northern Pacific

wanted to prosecute the union

Or. COOK SAYS LET HIM PROVE
HE,WASFAT NORTH POLE.
World Has Yet to See His Proofs
Cook Says His Record Is an Open
Book-Has Been Recognized by King
of Sweden and President Taft and
Many Others.

On Board the Oscar ii, off Nantucket.
DIR. Frederick A. Cook has made the
following statement to the world:
ssMv desire to get on American soil
increases with every mile left behind
bv the Oscar ii. The vessel is doing
her best record, although delayed oc
casionally, amking 400 miles in the last
"a hours.
Commander Peary's unfortunate ae-
cusations have disclosed another side
of his character. The specific records
of my Journey are accessible to every
one who reads and all can decide for
themselves when Peary presents his
report.
Commander Peary has as yet given
to the world no proofs of his own case.
Nv claim has been fully recognized
by Denmark and by the king of Swe-
den; the president of the United States
has wired me his confidence; my claim
has been accepted by the international
bureau of polar research at Brussels;
most of the geographical societies of
Europe have sent me congratulations,
which mean faith and acceptance for
the present, and almost every explorer
of note has come forward with warm
and friendly approval.
"A specific record of my journey is
accessible TO all, and every one who
reads can decide for himself. When
Peary publishes a similar report, then
our cases are parallel Why should
Peary be allowed TO make himself a
self-appointed distator of my affairs
In justice to himself, in justice to the
W rid and to guard the honor Of ma
tional prestige, he should be compelled
10 prove his own case; he should pub
ish at once a preliminary narrative
to be compared with mine and let fair
minded people ponder over the matter
while the final records by which my
case may be eventually proven are be
ing prepared.

such he is a hero Of arctic annals. and
deserves the credit Of a long and hard

TAFT met JAPANESE
While THEY were GOING EAST
and HE COMING WEST.
Our President Gave Them a Hearty
Welcome and Assured Them of Our
Lasting Friendship-They Responded
Lake Minnetonka.

President Taft Sunday met the so
members of the Japanese commercial
commission at Minneapolis, now tour
ing the United States. He babe them
a hearty welcome, assuring them of the
lasting friendship of the American peo-
pie, praising their industry and pa
triotism, and drank toast to the pros
perity of the japanese, "the sincere
friends of America The meeting was
at luncheon at the Lafayette club,
ON the shores of Lake Minnetonka, ten
dered by the commercial club of Min
neapolis.
President Taft secuted the idea that
there had ever been the slightest dan
ger of trouble between Japan and
America. He paid his compliments to
the military valor of Japan, and said
the country twas then fighting in de-
Tense of her rights and the mainte-
nance of her prestige in the field of
battle.
"But, - he declared, Japan today
is fighting for victories of peace, and
we all hope she will succeed. We are
not going to yield ourselves in that
contest, however, if we can help it. -
President Taft s address, which was
filed with the warmest admiration
for the japanese emperor and people,
followed a speech of Baron Shibu-
sawa, a prominent banker of Toxic
and chairman of the visiting commits
sion, who spoke in his native tongue.
He referred to President Taft as Zone
of the foremost men of the age and
warm and true friend OF Japan

Preceding the luncheon the president
was introduced to each member of the
commission. His hearty words of greet
ing, his quick recollection of having
met many of the visitors during his
several visits to Japan and of little
incidents in which they had had
part, seemed completely to eaptivate
them.
Mr. Taft also received the ladies of
the party, declaring to Baroness Shi-
busawa that America wanted to see
more of the ladies Of Japan, and to en-
courage their coming TO this country
with the men. " 1t is not fair, - said
the president, =" that Japan should keep
back the most charming Of her crea-
lures

Those Who Sent Him TO Prison
Are Guilty of Murder. lie
Says. Because They
Committed
Crime.

New York, Marcn j--Albert T. Pat
rick. who was convicted of the mur-
der of William Marsh Rice, a million
aire. after concocting a plot to come
in possession of Rice's fortune, today
made a sensational appeal to the ap-
pellate court division in Brooklyn,
asking the court to either free him for
life Imprisonment or else send him to
the electric chair. For the murder of
Rice, Patrick is now serving life
sentence in prison.
In his petition to the court Patrick
declared that Imprisonment for life is
a greater punishment than the deatA
penalty. He declared tnat under the
law "he who uses legal process to
commit a crime is no less guilty of
the crime" and that accordingly all
the state officers and the judge who
presided at his trial are guilty of muir
der in the first degree
He asks the court to take imme-
diate steps to have him released Or
that he be sent to the electric chair at
once, as he prefers death to spending
the remainder of his years in prison.

graces speak that which none else
can utter" The book was designed
