Attorney General Wickersham has discovered that, in the matter of pur chaSes for Panama canal operations.

This dis coVery allows the Standard Oil Go. to bid for the supplying of about s2 0Da, ,0e0 worth Of oil, and as. owing to it's virtual monopoly. no one can successfully bid against it. the trust ls practically assured of receiving the contract. Indeed, it is doubtful If there Is any competition whatever. I'd naake this discovery, the Attorney General is compelled to virtually nunify the Judicial decisions against standard Oil.

Missouri Attorney General Says He Has Enough Evidence
 Against Meat Trust.

St. Louis, Mo. April 21-Believing gin custer proceedings against the meat packing companies, Attorney General Major has brought the inves- tigation to a, close. He said he would begin court action within thirty days.
 Attorneys for the packers, after a,d- journnent, said that the facts, which they gave willingly, would not furnish a. legal basis for an custer order. They said the National Packing Company, the holding corporation for the Ar mour, Swift, and Morris interests which has been shown to own the St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provisions Company, had been pronounced le- gal corporation.
 Two witnesses were examined yes- terday, one of whom told of the selling of stock in the dressed beef company to parties who demanded a. contract that the witness would not enter the wholesale beef business for fifteen years.

Hampton's Magazine has invented 2 new name for the alleged Morgan Guggenheim syndicate which, unless checked by Congress, evidently aims at control of the natural resources of Alaska, value estimated in the bi1- lions. The new name is Morgan heim. Tn the May number of the magazine. MT. Hampton details the resources in gold, copper, and coal, and shows the exact status of the railroad situation in Alaska today. He asserts that the Guggenheims and J. Pierpont Morgan will have an ab- soIute monopoly unless the Govern 1nent steps in by constructing the needed railroads and leasing the mines upon a royalty basis. He also says.
 Keep in front of you always the the credit of the government in build- ing the MorganheiIn Alaska railroads. Unless the plan we suggest, that is, government ownership and operation Will probably learn within a few years that the government has financed the 1A0rganheim roads, but that the Nor ganhefns own and operate them.
 You may arouse the people for a little while" said one Alaskan re- only a flash in the pan. In a short time they will forget all about it. and then the Morganheins will work some scheme through Congress by which the government will guarantee their bonds, or give them land grants, or do something else that will be the equivalent of building the roads with the peoples money

 Cairo, Egypt, April 21.-The trial of Ibrahiam Wardani charged with the assassination of Premier Boutrous Pasha, began here today under condi- tions that showed the governments s fear of a Nationalist uprising as a result of the trial. International in- terest was attracted to the case by Colonel Roosevelt's references to it in his Cairo speech.
 All streets leading to the court house were closed and no one was admitted to the courtroom without a ticket. Policemen surrounded the courthouse and made up half the audience in the courtroom. The sol- diers in the barracks are being held in readiness for any emergency.
 Wardani's defense will be that Bou- trous did not die from the bullet wound but from the succeeding opera tion.

Moreovar, if they are embued with any degree of spirit in the matter, it is utterly impossible for MT. Lake to know at this stage of thee game whether he is in control or net. If the voters of Connections have a
 mind to assert their individual rights in the matter, 1t will be impossible for MT. Lake or anyone else to know the result until after the caucuses have been held. The fixing of such things in advance has caused more disgust in Connecticut, among think ing, Independent men, in the past few years, than any other one act of partisan politics.

Children Cry FOR FLETcHER'S c A s c RIA
SHOT A BARRELFUL OF QUA
F,rom the Chicago Post.)

(From the Chicago Post.)
 John N. Huntoon, reminiscing in the Rock Island Union, recalls the days when quail were four cents apiece in Henry County. From a bobsled on the winding road leading down from Al fred Taylor's old mill he shot a flour barrel full of the little birds. This was in the winter of 1860. Times have changed. At about the time of MT. Huntoon's exploit Chicagoans could shoot prairie chickens on Western Avenue.
 And now quail sell in this market at 50 cents a head and prairie chickens at $2.50. It seems shocking when con- sidered as an isolated fact, and it is bad enough in all conscience. Yet in mourning the things that are gone it is not well to overlook the things that have come In 1860 the population of Illinois was LII ,951. In 1910 the census will make it at least 5,0oO,000. Quail are scarcer, but We have lots more men, women and children.

 "The chapel may appropriately em- body those architectural ideals from which the other buildings. now so beau tifully harmonious, have taken their spirit. so that all the other buildings on the campus will seem to have caught their inspiration from the chapel. In this way the group of uni versity buildings, with the chapel cen- trally located and dominant in it's arch ltecture, will proclaim that the uni- versity in It's ideal Is dominated by the spirit of religion, all it's departments are inspired by the religious feeling and all Its work is directed to the high est ends.
 Whether the chapel can be so planned as to admit of housing the Young Mems Christian association and all the distinctively religious functions of the university, or whether this will ter that can best be decided in con- nection with the plans of the archi- tects.

BY wATTERsON sTEALEy

Washington, December 21.-(Special.)- The alleged efforts of what is declared to be a powerful lobby representing big cor poration interests which has for weeks been at work in the attempt to obtain a unanimous report whitewashing William Lorimer, senator from Illinois, whose seat in the Senate it has been charged was bought and whose election was ac- compllshed by means that amount all nally today.
 The interests back of Lorimer, and who 1t is claimed he represents, have been ex- traordinarily active in the last few days In the hope that the ''vindication' of Lorimer could be laid before the Senate and disposed of without the necessity of a vote. which would compel senators to gC upon record.
 Likewise there are not a few senators in the chamber who in response to the pressure to which they have been sub jected have entertained the same hope. This hope was destroyed, the effort to dispose of the whole matter without de- bate and without vote frustrated. and the evident desire to maintain the secrecy that has thus far characterized the in vestigation checked by the persistence of Senator Beveridge, who declined to con- cur in the report or in the motion of Sen- ator Burrows, chairman of the commit tee on elections. to have it lay on the table.
 Had the Burrows motion prevailed, the thing for which the Lorimer interests and the powerful forces representing organ ized wealth behind him have been striv- ing would have been accomplished. Noth- ing them would have been heard of the report. The liberal coat of whitewash with which it covers Lorimer would have been spread upon the pages of the Con- gressional Record and the country would have heard nothing further of the case.
 Lorimer would have stood 'vindicated' and his senatorial friends, or rather the senatorial friends of his friends, would thus have been saved the embarrass- ment of voting to clear Lorimer of all taint. in the face of tne evidence that has been submitted.
 This afternoon Senator Burrows sub nitted the report and asked that it be al lowed to lie on the table. Immediately Senator Beveridge requested that the re-
