MISSOURI DAY IS HELD
AT RECEIVING HOSPITAL
Many Natives of "Show Me" State
Apply for Treatment of Emer-
gency Cases

Yesterday was Missouri day at the
receiving hospital from the fact that
a large number of the patients treated
gave their nativity as the "show me"
state.
One of the first cases on the hospital
calendar yesterday morning was that
of s. r. King, a young salesman in
the employ Of the Warner Instrument
company who was treated for an ugly
bullet wound in his left shoulder which
he claims he received while handling a
revolver in his room at the Bachelor
apartments, 90 West Fifth street.
The police are inclined to believe,
however that there is a woman who
figures in the case and that the exact
nature of the affair has been withheld
from them.
Charles Woods. 4171a East Fifty
third street, a blacksmith, was acct
dentally struck by an iron bar at the
LleWellyn Iron works yesterday after
noon and sustained a broken chin.
r. ]. Kasely, 215 Boyd street, believed
to be a clerk employed by the Santa
Fe railroad was attacked with con-
vulsions in the city hall yesterday
morning and was treated at the receiv-
ing hospital.

Highwayman Who Ter

Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 17.-Eight
detectives were hurried from police
headquarters in automobiles last night
in response to Q telephone message
that the lone hghwayman who killed
William Schneider and held up the
Gleason drug store had appeared in the
saloon of Richard c. Ulmer at All
Hayes street.
The man escaped from the saloon
after displaying a brace of revolvers
and menacing Thomas Cleary, clerk of
the recorders office, and the police
were unable to obtain the remotest
trace of him up to a late hour last
night.
The effectual manner in which he
covered up his retreat, together with
the fact that the saloon is only few
blocks away from the Gleason-Cour-
neen store. satisfied the police that the
man was the bandit and that he lives
somewhere in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the places ne selects for his
successive and startling reappearances.
Enter Mr.. Bandit
It was shortly after 1880 o'clock last
night that the man appeared at the
saloon of Ulmer. He came in by a
rear door, sauntered up to the bar and
ordered a drink of whisky. Cleary
of the drug store bandit as the strang-
er entered.
When the newcomer heard Cleary
refer to the bandit he turned and re-
garded him so curiously that the clerk
engaged him in conversation
What would you do if you met this
fellow" asked Cleary.
I'D help him all / could" was the
reply of the stranger who kept his
hands in the pockets of his gray sack
suit. Il suppose you are a detective
he added to Cleary, continuing to eye
him significantly.
Without waiting for Cleary to reply
the man opened his coat with flour
ish and displayed two large revolvers
strapped to his thighs.
Gripping these revolvers he then
sneered at everyone in the place and
walked deliberately in the direction of
the door by which he had entered and

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Weis, pro-

terday afternoon by a heavy ice wagon
in front Of their home The child had

ran into the street to play when the
heavy vehicle ran her down, crushing
in the side of her head and killing her
almost instantly.
The distracted mother was on the
scene a minute later, and pressing the
dead little body to her breast rode in

faithfully over the body in an effort to
revive any signs of life, but the in

SAYS REPORT OF ATTACKS
ON KOREANS GROUNDLESS
Japanese Deny Story Even of Pro-
posed Plot to Attack Military
Attaches

TOXIC. Nov. 23.-Sensational reports
published in the Japanese newspapers
state that attacks were made by Jap
anese on the Korean officers attending
the grand maneuVers near Utsonomiya,
and that a plot was on foot to attack
the foreign military attaches.
The reports are without the slightest
foundation in fact. Not even an arrest
was made based on any proposed at
tack on Koreans or others. The Kore-
an officers moved in exactly the same
manner as the other attaches, and those
attaches, as well as all other foreign
ers, passed through the streets of Utso-
nomiya night and day without being in
the slightest danger and without being
attended by police detectives or Jap
anese officers.
The Japanese officers have exercised
also the most extreme caution in the
matter of the movements of Koreans
resident in Toxic.

1000 Acres Of Land for Stu
dents to Develop

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Columbia
university is planning the establish
ment of a $1,000 600 school Of farming

problems presented by the plan an
nOunces the course of study viii oc-
cupy two years. Class room instruc-
ton will be given only from october

acres Of land within a reasonable dis
tance Of New York city. To purchase
this, to erect buildings and TO stock
and equip the institution will assist
largely in meeting expenses of the

STANDARD OIL
TRUST APPEALS
tCoutinued from Page onsl

Standard oil company Of New Jersey
has acquired a commanding volume
of the trade by means of trust.
Fifteenth-In finding that the seven
individual defendants combined to
suppress competition.
Sixteenth-In finding that the ex-
change Of stock for interests In a
single corporation is Illegal.
Seventeenth-In finding that cor
porations are legal entities distinct
from stockholders.
Assignments IS to "a argue that the
Sherman act does not differentiate be-
tween various forms Of competition,
and that the court erred in finding
that the transfer of stock in the nine
teen companies to the Standard Oil
company Of New Jersey increased its
power to prevent competition or vest
ed in the larger company the con-
troll Of the so-called potentially COM
petition corporations"
Nine Assignments
The next nine assignments deny the
courts accuracy in finding that the
transfer resulted In combination and
conspiracy in restraint of trade, that
the standard Oil company Of New
Jersey is dominated by the seven in
dividual defendants and that the big
corporation has, since 1893. exercised
unlawful pressure.
Error is also alleged in the ruling
that the holding company owned the
stock Of companies that otherwise
would be competitive is a form of
trust by the Sherman act.
The documents then turns TO the
courts reference to the Northern Sc
curities case and alleged that arror
was committed in deciding that the
case was ruled by the older decision.
The attitude of the rulings regard
ing the defendants subsidiary com
panes is next attacked Error being
asserted in the findings as to their
relations with the Standard OIL COM
pany Of New Jersey.
Criticism of the decree begins in
assignment No. As. The court en-
Joined the New Jersey company from
voting the stock of subsidiary con-
Germs, smaller companies from paying
dividends to the larger, individual de-
PENDANTS from continuing the combi-
nation which it found to exist or the
formation by them of any similar ar
rangements looking to the control of
price or transportation of petroleum.
All these orders are declared to be
in error.
The assignment of errors was pre-
sented to the court by Frank L. Craw-
ford of New York, counsel for the
Standard Oil company.

SUPPLY AGENT FINED.
Alleged Pure Food Law VioIator Ad-
judged Guilty-M. e. Flynn
Made Arrest,

Iowa City, Jan. 11-Justice f. T.
Horak of this city, has handed down
decision in the case of the state
against J. B. Eckenrode. agent for the
Citizens Wholesale Supply Co, of
Columbus, Ohio. which is of statewide
interest. Eckenrode Is held guilty of
violating the pure food law of the
state in prosecution commenced "a
few weeks ago bv Inspector Nj. E.
Flynn, of Burlington. The defense
will appeal to the district court, and
the supreme court will probably be
called upon to settle the legal oues-
lions involved before the matter is
finally disposed OF.
Eckenrode was charged with selling
shortweight packages of wheat flakes.
The Allegations We're not denied, but
he relied on the argument that the
transaction constituted interstate COM
MERGE. He claimed he took orders and
sent them to Columbus. Ohio, and the
goods were forwarded to him for dis
tribution merely. Justice Horak holds.
however, that his contract with the
company was to sell and not to take
orders, that the original package was
broken when the packages Of wheat
We're removed from the box in which
they We're shipped, that the sale was
made In Iowa City, and the claim Of
Interstate commerce was merely a
subterfuge to evade the laws of the
state.
