ADMINIST RATION
BUCKET SHOP
CAMP AIGN
POstOffiCe Department Proceed
ing Against Operators
SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE
Crusade Instituted at Jersey City
Against Concerns Doing a Mail
Order Business

Washington, March Ito the
movement in which President Taft is
personally interested TO break up gam
bling in future, the administration
has added a campaign against bucket
shops. Just now the fight is center
ed largely in Jersey City where sew
eral arrests were made recently un-
der the auspices of the postoflice de-
partment. Two other large concerns
are also under investigation and ar
rests. or at least indictments are eX-
pected shortly.
The fight against the bucket shops
will be made through the postottice
department, largely under the direc-
ton of the department of justice. The
aim is to go after those concerns that
have an extensive mail business. 1t
is stated at the postoflice department
that this business has increased TO
an enormous extent recently. Raids
that have been conducted from time
to time have resulted in unwelcome
publicity being thrust upon women
who have come to be constant specu-
lators. They have accordingly turn
ed to the mails through which their
orders are transmitted.
The first move against the bucket
shops was made in Washington
where a week or ten days ago sever.
al indictments were found by the dis
trict grand jury, before whom District
Attorney Baker presented the cases,
Since then the investigation has
broadened out. The whole matter of
bucket shops has been referred to
the secret service agents of the de
partment OF justice and these, acting
in cooperation with tie pustofice in
spectors are engaged in broad in
quiry, which it is proposed shall &c
to the bottom OF the trade.
Two of the concerns against which
it is said evidence has been secured
are the Standard Stock & Grain Deal
ers company Of No IS Montgomery
street, Jersey City, and the Stock
Grain & Provision company Edward
Altemus, manager of the Standard
was recently arrested by the state
authorities Of New Jersey on a charge
of conducting clearing house for
bucket shops"
For the present all details con
corning the investigation are with
held by the authorities AT the post
office department Acting Chief In
spector Theodore EngeI protested t.
profound ignorance of the whole in
vestigation, despite the fact that i
was one of his men, Inspector Ente
man, that made the arrest in Jerse
City.
1t was learned at the department
of justice that no details of any inves
tigation would be made public unit
the authorities were ready with su
fcient facts to justify a forwar
move.

JOHN JACOBASTOR
HAS WIPED OUT
TWO VILLAGES
Converting Land in Uninhabited
Estate of 1000 Acres
PEOPLE RESENT HIS METHOD
Claim that MilIionaire's Course
Spells Ruin to Hitherto Pros
porous Communities

New York, March 1.-THE citizens
of Rhinebeck are indignant because
two villages in Duchess county have
been wiped out of existence by John
Jacob Astor. He has purchased 1000
acres in the county and demolished
tine houses on the land.
The policy followed by the million
aire is declared by the residents to
be one that spells ruin for the coun-
". Wherever Colonel Aston has ac-
quired farm he has caused the
buildings to be torn down and permit
ted the weeds to grow on what was
productive land.
Until recently the village of Tator
Hill a mile and a half from Rhine
beck. had thirty houses. Colonel AS
tor bought the houses and demolished
them Since then he has purchased
/ the village of Rusten. and is engaged
in demolshng the forty houses and
the church that made up the village.
The farms of William Way and
| Charles Masten were recently pur-
chased by him and the houses on
| these two farms are to- be torn down
About hundred farms have been
/ bought from time tc time TO be added
10 the Astor estate in Duchess coun-
~ and similarly treated
In one case the citizens Of a village
purchased a farm to keep from hay-
ing the town nemmed in by the Astor
property. Mr. Astor has not attempt
ed to farm the properties. which, I'M
til he acquired them. were occupied
by thrifty farmers. II IS said he
keeps only forty hands on his whole
estate of 1000 acres
Former Governor Morton has a
farm OF 1000 acres in the neighbor-
hood and has a payroll upon which
there are 200 names. The great cry
| in Rhlnebeck is from the storekeep-
ers who say the population In the
farming community surrounding the
village had been wiped out and scat
tered to other points about the coun.
ty
The residents say they are unable
to find out Mr. Astor's purpose in pur-
chasing that property except that he
believes that In time It will greatly
enhance in value and that as his an
cestors bought large plots in New
York and held It, he believes in an
other half century the land he is buy
ing now will lay the foundation for
a greater Astor fortune.
Granting. however that this is the
case, they insist that it is a hardship
on a farming community to be turn
ed into wilderness or a game pre-
serve. The part of the Aston estate
that is improved is very beautiful
the Rhinebeck citizens say, but tho
immense purchases made recently
have added nothing TO its attractive
ness and in many cases has resulted
in the closing Of roads which, al
though private. had been in use fo
many years.

FATE Of STANDARD
WITH SUPREME
COURT
Closing Argument in Suit for
Dissolution
NOT ATTACK ON BUSINESS
Attorney General Wickersham Says
Government is Dealing With a
National Scandal

Washington, March 1.-The disso-
luton of the standard Oil" is now a
question for the Supreme Court OF
the United States to grapple with
alone. The final argument of the
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey as a conspiracy
and a monopoly in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law was made
Yesterday and the court took the
matter under consideration.
1t fell to Attorney General Wicker
sham on the side of the government
and John G.. Johnson of Philadelphia
for the defense to make the closing
remarks. In addition d. 7. Watson
of Pittsburg another Standard OIL
counsel addressed the court earlier
in the day, finishing his argument.
Mr.. Wickersham spoke of the Stan
dard oils past as containing a Nat
ional scandal which the courts and
legislatures were called upon to put
down. He urged the court not to be
Influenced by the cry that this pro-
ceeding was a blow directed at bus
mess, because such cry had been
made often before and proved
groundless
The closing address by Mr.. John
son was partly a reply to Mr.. Wick
ersham.
He interpreted what he designated
as the new doctrine of potential
competition as an attempt to re
quire each individual to compete with
himself Turning to another phase
Of the controversy, he asked: How
on earth could we monopolize the
manufacture of refined oil, when we
control only II per cent of the crude
Oil output"
With sarcasm he expressed his sur
prise that such iniquities as has been
complained of existed in this coun
try 1--WE do have pipe lines he
shouted. I'VE do have engines and
boilers but is that any reason why
cur competitors should get heat and
steam from us?'
In closing he pleaded with the
court not to strike down a Legitimate
business or deprive the men he rep
resented of their organization. The
remedy the government asks you tC
apply said he. lis not unlike the
surgical operation Of amputating the
foot to remove a shorn from the toe.
