burns on her face and neck.
The sight of her left eye is destroyed

probable that the right eye will be
saved. She will probably be blind as
a result of her experience. Her as

of the assault. The police are making
an effort to locate a student whose

Miss Wilson was walking alone on

home when some one called her. The
summons came from behind a sign

vacant lot. The girl turned and could
see no one. In another instant a
stream of burning fluid struck her full

News of the DdY
In National Capital

WASHINGTON, April 13-(SpeciaD
The Taft administration is still
fighting desperately to prevent an in
vestigation by congress of the sugar
trust frauds.
The administration clings to the po
sition that an investigation might give
immunity to the guilty parties.
Those who desire a congressional
probe contend that the really big
thieves-the mu timilionares who
would have pocketed the $2,0O0,000 of
stolen import duties had not their
crime been discovered-are getting
more Immunity" through congress
failure to investigate than they could
possibly secure through an investiga-
ton.
One of the remarkable features of
the situation is that the all-poWerful
steering committee of congress re
refuse to allow a resolution providing
for an investigation of the sugar trust
to even come before the house for
on rules and a few other men are to
all practical ends doing all the legis-
lating on matters concerning the We
fare of the sugar trust.
An examination of the records of
the present congress reveals the fact
that every bill or resolution, touching
either the proposed investigation of
the American Sugar Refining company,
the sale of $4,000 acres of rich, Friar
sugar lands to the Havemeyer sugar
interests in alleged violation of the or
ganic law of the Philippines, or aiming
trusts monopoly of the sugar market,
has been chloroformed in committee.
Here are. the facts, copied from the
records of the sixty-first congress of
the United States:
House concurrent resolution No. "a,
providing for the appointment of a
committee to investigate crimes OF
sugar trust; introduced December 6.
1899, by Representative p. P. Camp
bell (republican) of Pittsburg, Kansas;
referred by Speaker Cannon to COM
mittee on rules; never afterward heard
of.
House resolution No. 164, providing
for investigation of frauds perpetrated
upon government by the American
Sugar Refining company; introduced
December 10, 1909, by Representative
A. J. SABBATH of Chicago; referred to
committee on rules; no further re-
cord.

for an investigation of the sale by the
government of $4,000 acres of Philip

Prosecution
Handicapped

WASHINGTON, April IL. One eff
feet of the postponement of decision
by the supreme court in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco Trust cases will be
to defer action by the department of
Justice against those combinations or
trusts believed to be operating In Vlo-
lation of the Sherman anti trust law.
This holds good where the vital points
of attack on such corporations are
similar to those in the suits awaiting
settlement.
In the broad area of the law not
covered by the Standard Oil and To-
bacco Trust cases, there is consider
able room for operation and where
there is sufficient evidence of the ex
istence of combinations in restraint of
trade and an agreement to fix prices,
prosecutions will continue. This at
titude of the government was made
plain in administration circles to-
day.
On the judicial Interpretation of the
word monopoly by the supreme
court in the big cases hinges the
ment of justice in it's future action in
| important trust prosecutions. That
word is said never to have been defin-
ed adequately in English jurisprud-
ence.
| An important matter in which the
attorney general has deferred actlon
pending a decision in the Standard
Oil and Tobacco Trust cases, is the
| investigation into the complaints of
| the American Federation of Labor
against the United States Steel Cor
poration.
| What, if any other cases are being
held bac pending the courts decision
! is not stated. In issues like the al
legged window glass combine; against
which indictments recently we're OBJ
f, tanned in Pittsburg and those similar
! to the Northern Securities cases, the
department expects to continue prose-
] cution.
| Just now an investigation is being
conducted by the government into the
| charge that the SO-called butter COM
bine arbitrarily fixes the prices of that
! commodity and into the complaints or
discrimination by the bituminous
coal roads in the middle west which
affect the carrying of coal to lake
ports.
| Intimations are given also that
something soon may be expected from
grand jury Investigations touching the
sugar trust as well as from the in
quiries into the alleged under valua-
tons Of imports at New Orleans.

Now that spring is here, and the
music of the wedding bells insists upon
being heard, it is not amiss to talk
about the wedding invitations. There
are certain points that must be kept in
mind when selecting these engraved
forms.
In the first place. they should be
chosen and sent by mail, not sooner
than four WEEKS nor later than Is days
before the ceremony.
The bride o-be and her fiance should
make list of the relatives and friends
of each. Added to this, there should be
the names of the important business
associates of the brides father and or
the groom This is a matter OF business
courtesy. 1 suggest a careful inspec-
ton of this list. Do not make the mis-
take of including persons unknown to
YOU at the risk of neglecting friends.
From time to time there are GER
tain devlations from any set form. but
in the main there is always a satisfac-
ton in a conservative. accepted style.
Good, unglazed paper, of a pure white
or cream shade, should be selected.
With each sheet there come two en-
velopes; the first one holds the invf-
tation and is unsealed; the second is
used for the address.
Do not make one invitation serve for
a matron and her children. Mr. and
Mrs James" should receive one, THE
Misses James," another and 1.-The
Messrs. James" a third. The three
invitations may be inclosed in one en-
velope and addressed in full to Mrs.
Edward L. James," the matron of the
family.
AS for the form which is usually a
slight variety from which to choose.
Any first class stationer will submit
the accepted wording. A bride who is
an orphan issues her invitation in the
name of the nearest living relative. In
this case, an unmarried sister Is not
considered unless she be OF very ma
ture years.
If bride have a step parent, the in
vitation should clearly designate
whose child she is. II a widow re-
marry, the cards are issued in the
name of her parents, but her own name
must be her first and middle name
with that of her deceased husband Il
should read: Mrs. Madeline Lane
Scott"

Bryan Letter
Found Genuine

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The Will
liam j. Bryan letter, to be read at
the Jefferson day banquet here to-
morrow night, the authenticity of
which was questioned by the banquet
committee yesterday because it bore
a Lincoln, Neb.. postmark, was de-
clared today to be genuine by Charles
Bryan, brother of the former presi-
Dental candidate.
Charles Bryan te1egraphed to the
banquet committee that William J..
Bryan had sent the letter to him for
publication, and had intended it to be
forwarded to be read at the dinner
which will be addressed by Mayor
Gaynor, Governor Harmon and other
prominent democratic leaders.
1t developed today that members of
the local banquet committee objected
also to some of the statements made
in the letter, believing that reference
made to the money question indicat-
ed an effort to reintroduce the free
silver isue. Today the letter was
submitted to prominent democratic
congressman and they showed no
signs of agitation.
The particular portion of the let
ter criticised is declared to refer to
President Tafts recent utterances that
the high cost of living was due to
overproduction Of gold. This, Mr..
Bryan said in his letter, was an en-
dorsement of his views of few years
ago regarding the cumulative pro-
duction of metal and the purchasing
power of money.
Some members of the committee re-
garded this as an attempt to revive
the silver issue, but leading democrats
who read the communication told
m mbers of the special committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the letter that
some one had been stirring a temp
est in a teapot"
The letter will not be made public
until the banquet.

Strikers Not Needed,

SEATTLE, April TT. B. Degnan,
general agent of the Great Northern
in Seattle, said tonight that the &C
ton of the Switchmens' union in call
ing off the strike begun last fall will
have little effect on the railroads in
the Pacific Northwest, as they are not
in need of men for their switching
crews. AT present, he said, there are
several men on the extra list in Sc
attic and these will be given regular
places before any of the old switch
men are taken back. Mr.. Degnan said
that members of the union who wish
to return to work will be employed
whenever vacancies occur, but none of
the men hired during the strike will
be discharged to make room for the
strikers.
