Records are Voluminous.

Seldom, if ever has such mass of evidence been compiled in a single case. The record including the ex- hibits, already exceed 100000 words all taken by one stenographer, Robert s. Taylor, of St. Paul. Printed, the evidence is more voluminous by sev. eral volumes than a set of the ency. clopedia Brittanica. The major DOT. ton of the testimony was taken in New York city. John D. Rockefeller and John D. Archbold had been among the many notable witnesses to the stard.
 So large is the record that even a pelusal of it's digest by the court is impossible and much will depend upon the summaries presented by the at. torneys of the respective sides.

The government will strain every nerve to show that the Standard Oil company is a trust within the mean ing of the Sherman law and must be put out of existence, while the Stand ard will endeavor to show that it is lawful to unite any number of inter- ests under one organization without violating the Sherman law.
 It is expected the court will grant each side about five days for final argument, which far exceeds the usual time allowed

Former President on Westward Round Ship Is Without Haven-Ex- poets to Recover the
 Presidency.

Port of Spain, Trinidad.-At
 the urgent request of the state de-
 partment at Washington, communal cated to the London foreign office, the British government has decided not to permit Cfpriano Castro, former pres ident of Venezuela, to land at Trin. idad
 Cipriano Castro is returning to the
 West Indies from Europe with the avowed purpose of recovering the presidency of Venezuela. He left France on March 26 on board the steamer Guadeloupe. Where he pro- poses to land in the West Indies is
 not definitely known. His original intention was to leave the steamer at
 La Guaira, the Port of Caracas, but
 the Venezuelan government at first refused it's permission
 Subsequently this refusal was with drawn and it was intimated that Cas- tro could land on Venezuelan soil but at his own peril. It was then said that Castro would leave the Guade- loupe at Trinidad to await develop ments and watch his opportunity from
 that port. It was also said that he
 might continue on to Colon for the same purpose. The Guadeloupe is due
 at Trinidad April 10 and at Colon April 15.
 Gomez Expected to Resign. The latest advices from Caracas in timated that Juan Vicente Gomez, the president of Venezuela, contemplated
 resigning in favor of one of the vice.
 presidents of the republic.
 There are other men besides Gomez
 who want to keep Castro out of Vene-
 zuela provided they can get the presi- dency. Prominent among these is
 Francisco Alcantara, one of the rich.
 est men in Venezuela, a graduate of West Point and a great traveller. Alcantara is one of the most pol. ished and able men in the republic and in fear of him Castro sent him to the province of Bolivar as provincial president shortly before Castro went
 to Europe.

SHOOTING AT NORTON.
Attorney Thompson Tells of the Du-
vaHThields Trouble.

Lafayette H. Thompson, an attorney
OF Norton, is in Topeka today on legal
business. Mr.. Thompson has been re-
tanned in the cases involving the Nor
ton telephone line, news of which has
appeared in the papers from time to
time.
In regard to the recent alteration
between telephone official and an ed
itor, Mr.. Thompson said the reports
had done an injustice to the town. He
says there has been no excitement of
any kind and that nobody lost sleep
over the recent episode The exact facts
were related to the State Journal this
morning by Mr.. Thompson as follows:
on Monday morning. March 1,
Thields, who is in the employ of the tel
ephone company, met Editor Duvall on
the street and asked him to go to his
office. While there Thields made de-
mands on him for some telephone re-
ceipts. Duvan started to get them
when Thields demanded that he fur
nlsh receipts which dated back to the
organization of the company.
Mr.. Duvall refused to do this, then
Fields accused him of publishing let
ters which reflected on his wife.
Mr.. Duvall denied the charge and
started to read copy of the Scientific
American which he had on his desk,
when Thields without any warning
struck him and knocked him down. A
scuff1e followed and finally Duvall got
away.
"Thields came at him again, when Du-
vail reached into drawer in his desk
pulled out a revolver and shot at
Thields.
THE bullet graZed his breast, but did
no material harm. No arrests were
made and nothing more was thought of
the affair. The county attorney refus-
ed to act in the affair and there was
no demand that he should do so. The
which have been sent out have
done US an Injustice

DEFENSE OPENS.
Col. Cooper's Attorney Is Greeted by
Record Breaking Crowd.

Nashville, Tenn, March "a record
breaking crowd was present today when
General Meeks began the opening ar
gument for the defense in the Cooper
Sharp murder trial General Meeks
has been i'll and at the outset of his re
marks he was scarcely able to stand.
He spoke almost inaudibly. AS he
warmed up he said:
The state has appealed to you to
enforce the law. And the states idea
of enforcing the law seems to be to
convict some one innocent or guilty. 1
want to say to you gentlemen, that new
er in my life and in a broad practice
have l seen witness so shamefuIly
treated as was Col. Cooper by Captain
Fitzhugh. The prosecutor seemed care
less as to whether he acquitted or con-
victed Col. Cooper of the murder of
Senator Carmack, but he did seem de-
termined to besmirch the witness
character. He accused him of not pay
ing his debts. What has that to do
with the killing of Carmack? They
tried to make you believe that he en-
bezzled funds as clerk and master in
chancery. What has that to do with
the killing of Carmack? The whole
scheme of the state was not to con-
vict Col Cooper of murder, but to dis
grace him publicly on his record"

BIG BOND ISSUE.
Pennsylvania to Issue $4,000, 900 to
Competitive Bidders.

Philadelphia, March 9-At today's
annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
stockholders a resolution offered by
Moorefield Story of Boston, an attorney
representing a syndicate of stockhold-
ers, to the effect that a proposed issue
of $50 000, 900 of bonds securities be
opened to competitive bidding by re-
sponsible banking institutions, was re-
ferred to the incoming board of di-
rectors for consideration. This ended
what had been advertised as a pending
sensation.
Mr.. Story said there is an idea in the
public mind that whenever securities
are issued by public service corpora
tions there is what he termed a rake
off"
He said that if the Pennsylvania
railroad would open its forthcoming
issue of securities to competitive bid
ding this feeling would be allayed.
He had come to Philadelphia, he
said, under the impression that there
would be an immediate issue of $780,
900, 900 securities. but he has learned
that there may never be such an issue.
First Vice President Green offered a
resolution authorizing a stock vote on
the proposed bond issue to be held two
weeks hence. The annual report was

and painful causing my heart to pal

At the Novelty.

Two numbers on the Novelty's
vaudeville bill this week made a tre-
mendous hit with the audiences, and
every act on the programme is a good
one. 1t isn't often that one can fea-
ture an acrobatic act, but Valveno and
Tresk certainly get more than a glad
hand for every turn during the time
they are presenting their act. It is a
whirlwind affair, feat after feat COM
ing in quick succession and every one
of them new and devoid of the hack
1leyed variety. The Worlds Comedy
Four, a male quartette, will prove
great drawing card before the week is
over. The quartette is a good singing
aggregation. they sing some pretty
good pieces, and their voices blend
we'll. Their comedy, however, might
be improved. Charles Innes and
Maude Ryan have a novelty. skit in
which smart gowns feature. Theirs is
little dancing thrown in. One of the
George Evers and Pork Chops, a team
of singing and dancing comedians who
appear in blackface. An act that is
new and novel in Topeka lis that of
Ernie and Mildred Potts, an act in
which Potts who claims to be the
champion bag puncher in the world,
does a clever stunt in boxing the
bags, at one time keeping five going.
while Mildred Potts plays the part of
a soubrette, in which she does a little
singing and dancing. Potts, however,
is the whole show in this act. Karl
Hummel with his illustrated song and
hte viascope motion pictures complete
the bill.
