Wife WAS
BRUTALLY
MURDERED

PRESHO, S. D., May 1S.-The body
of the wife of William L. Lansing was
found in the cellar of their home last
night with the head crushed by a
hammer. The husband was missing
at the time and was suspected of the
crime. A sheriff and posse imme-
diately began search. After scour-
ing the country all night they discov-
cred him % miles north of Presho, in
a claim shack on the Brule reserva-
tion. He fought against capture and
was shot through the chest, two bull
lets taking effect. He lived but a
short time. None of the posse was
injured
Lansing had threatened his wife
and her brother because of divorce
proceedings. The woman was evi-
IDENTIFY stunned by blow of the fist
and carried into the cellar, her skull
being crushed by hammer the body
hidden under the floor, covered over
and partially burned Lansing re-
mained at the house six hours after
his crime and planned, the police say,
to kill the children.

Put MalefactOr of Great Wealth in
Penitentiary and You Can
EnfOre the Antitrust
Law.
LIBERTY is VALUED
To Fine Trust Is to Fine the People.
Expects to See the Day When
United States Steel Corporation Of
ficers Will Be Imprisoned or Fugi-
tives from Justice.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-"Just put
one of these malefactors of great
wealth in the penitentiary and you
will see the antitrust law enforced
without any further Violations" said
Senator Bailey of Texas, during his
tariff speech in the senate today.
He referred to the United States
Steel corporation, charging it with
violating the antitrust laws. He in
sisted that if the authorities use the
right methods, the corporation will be
dissolved. adding that if the present
administration fails in the duty the
people would choose oher officials to
represent them.
Send one of these men who may
be found violating the interstate COM
merce law or the antitrust law to the
penitentiary," he said, "and you will
stop these violations by others. You
cannot do it with fines because when
the court fines trust, the trust fines
the people and as long as the punish
ment is measured in dollars and cents
they will continue to violate the law.
Men take the chance Of pecuniary loss
in the hope of realizing a greater pc
cuniary gain, Send one Of them to
the penitentiary and it will work like
magic.
"The millionaire" continued Mr..
Bailey, who was receiving the rapt
attention of senators on both sides of
the chamber, values one thing more
than his fortune and that is his lib
erty. He does not love Justice He
does not love that peace of mind for
which others struggle, but he loves
his liberty.
II expect to see the United States
Steel corporation officers imprisoned
or become fugitives from justice, and
if men now charged with the admin
istration of the law fail to perform
their duty, have an abiding faith
that the American people will call
into their service another set of men,
if not from another party, at least an
other set of men from your own par
ty. The stalwarts of today would be-
come the insurgents of that day and
the insurgents of this generation
would be the stalwarts of the next
generation. That is as certain as
any event in the future can be-"

new WITNESS IN
CALHOUN CASE
Assistant to President of United Rail-
ways Appears for First Time
i'm Bribery Cases.
IS UNDER INDICTMENT
Witness Admits That He Had No
knowledge as Officer of Company of
Withdrawal Of 100000 From Mint
by Tirey L. Ford i'm 1905.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13.-Thorn-
well Mullaly, assistant to the presi-
dent of the United Railroads, himself
under indictment for alleged offenses
similar to that charged against his
chief, was the most important wit
ness examined during the trial of
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
road, today.
Mr.. Mullaly has never before ap-
peared on the stand in any of the
briberygraft cases and has never
been summoned to give testimony
since his refusal to answer any ques-
tions put to him before the grand
jury in 1907, when the first steps in
the investigation were taken.
He occupied the stand almost the
entire day and his evidence went into
many matters related to the trolley
franchises on which the present case
hinges.
From first to last Mr.. Mutually de-
MED any knowledge of the offering of
and bribes to the supervisors or the
employment of Abraham Ruef as an
agent to so offer bribes, as is charged
by the prosecution.
His evidence for the most part re-
lated to the time of the fire and the
struggle to rehabilitate the transpor-
tation lines of the city, and many in
teresting phases of that time were
brought out.
The most important part of his ex-
animation from the standpoint of the
prosecution was his admission that
he had no knowledge either as a di-
rector or officer of the company, of
the withdrawal of 100000 from the
mint by Tirey L. Ford, general coun-
sci of the road, in 1906, nor of the
negotiation of loan for that amount
by Mr.. Calhoun.

NAVAL OFFICE
FIGHT ENDS
Federal Attorney General Holds That
Rear Admiral Barton Vacated
Position.
CHIEF OF ENGINEERING
Opinion States That as Vacancy Was
Caused by Compulsory Retirement,
Position Can Be Filled Only by
President Pursuant to Law.

WASHINGTON, May ia decision
of Attorney General Wickersham,
made public by Secretary Myer today,
apparently settled the controversy
over the question whether Rear Ad-
miral John K. Barton continues le-
gally to hold the office of chief of
the naval bureau of steam engineer
ing.
The attorney general says, in eff
feet that he does not believe the post
is vacant; that the rear admiral hav-
ing been appointed by board of
medical survey Of the navy, thereby
vacated the office of engineer-i chief
Chief Constructor w. l.. Capps, fol-
lowing Rear Admiral Barton's retire
ment on December % last, was ap-
pointed to act as head of the bureau
but this appointment, the attorney
general says, did not fall within the
provision of section 179 of the revised
statutes, since the vacancy was caused
not by death, resignation, absence or
sickness but by the compulsory re-
tirement of Admiral Barton, and that
the vacancy thus created can be filled
only by the president pursuant to
law.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Temporarily POstpOnes Order to

WASHINGTON, May ia supple
mental order was issued today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
the Spokane case by which the COM
missions order is postponed tempo
rarily as to the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad, the Union Pacific, the
Oregon Short Line and the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company.
1t is not unlikely that the order in
the Spokane case may be abrogated
so far as the lines mentioned are con-
cerned, as the plea has been made in
their behalf that the distance from
Chicago to Spokane is about 400 miles
further than it is by the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern.
Therefore, it would be a hardship
on them to haul freight from Chicago
to Spokane at the same rates as are
given by the northern roads
