TRIUMPH FOR AMERICANS
German Campaign of SANDER Against
the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
Company Fails.

Berlin.-The long and venomous
campaign waged by German newspa-
pers and rival industrial interests
against one of the German branches
of the Standard Oil company-the
Deutsche Vacuum Oil company-has
just been brought to a victorious end
for the Americans involved.
A well-known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such a series OF
attacks on the American graft meth
DDS" alleged to have been practiced
by the acuum company in the con-
duct of its German business that the
public prosecutor Of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inves-
tigation with a view to eventual in
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his investigation, especially
Of the work Of e. L. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager of the German COM
ipany's sales department, and an
nounces that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence Of anything warranting
prosecution was found against Mr..
Quarles, and the costs of the entire in
quiry will be borne by the state.
The result of the investigation con
stitutes a notable triumph for Ameri-
can interests in Germany.
1t is not the first time that Ger
mans, finding themselves unable to
compete with Americans on ordinary
terms, have resorted to SANDER.

TAFT SIGNS BANK BILL
Postal Savings Measure Reaches the
Presidential Desk After Thirty
Years Work.

Washington.-The president has
signed the postal savings bank bill.
The passage of the postal bank bill
is the product of 80 years work for
the establishment of this banking sys-
tenn. Many bills have been introduced
in congress during that time, but the
Taft administration was the first to
bear fruit.
The main provisions in the new
bank bill are:
Anybody over ten years old will be
able to open an account at one Of the
postal banks.
No deposit Of less than 81 will be
received, although the postmaster is
authorized to sell special ten-cent
stamps, which later may be turned in
after ten have been collected as a
credit of 81 on the depositor's &C.

BIG WOLF MAKES A SCENE
Cheyenne Chief vehemently Resists
Restoration Of Three-Cent Fare
In Oklahoma.

Fort Reno, Oklahoma.-Big Wolf,
a Cheyenne Indian chief, has gone
on record against the restoration
of the Scent passenger fare by the
Rock Island and Frisco railroad COM
panies, following the decision OF
Judge Hook in the United States cir
cult court, which knocked out Oklaho-
mas 2-cent fare law.
Big Wolf was riding on the Rock
Island from Ell Reno to Clinton, and
knew the amount he should pay at 2
cents per mile, and when the con-
ductor charged 3 cents he immediate
ly took the warpath, declaring he was
being short-changed, and threatening
to clean out the coach, loaded with
passengers. The conductor stood his
ground, however, and Big Wolf was
finally appeased. Numerous white
passengers also protested against the
increased fare.

Two Shot and Captured.
Patrolman Thompson saw one of
the robbers on Granite street, oppo-

The robber finally fell, fatally wound

In the meantime another Of the
men had been seen in Boston street,

The Taft smile was nothing com,
pared to the expansive grin decorating

tons. He has been seen in bet,

Instantly following the conclusion
Of his speech Mr.. Sherman thumped

CAR AND MIKApo BIND THEM.
&. SELVES TO ACT UNDER eulD-
ANcE OF UNITED STATES.
OPEN DOOR IS ASSURED
Naturalization Of ManchurIan Rail-
roads an Important Part of the
Treaty-Fifteen Years An ,
taeonlsm Ends.

Washington, d. CATER fifteen
years of bitter antagonism Russia and
Japan have agreed, by means Of a
binding treaty, to join hands and IN
terests in China. The treaty is to go
into effect as soon as signed in dupli-
cate.
This action guarantees the status
quo in the far East. State depart
ment officials are highly elated over
it. No foreign powers are concerned
in this agreement, which affects only
the contracting nations.
The question Of nancAurian rail-
ways comes in s the most important
article. Russia agrees to consider IA
vorably the naturalization Of all the
Chinese railway lines, whether owned
by China or private corporations, Chi
nese or foreign, subjecting them to
sheriff regulations in times of war,
limiting their use by the belligerent
and defining their movements.
The treaty itself is an extensive
document, which permits no ambigu-
GUS Interpretation. All differences
that arise shall be referred to the
United States.
Russia's motive for neutralizing the
entire Chinese system of railroads is
due to the confidence that such~a step
would be agreeable to Japan as well
as to the United States.
know Aids in Arnttnnanf
The influence of the latter's diplo.
macy Is discernable throughout the
treaty, Russia adhering to the Knox
naturalization scheme and Japan APP
proving in decisive terms the exploit
tation Of China through American
money.
Russia especially hopes to derive
great benefits. She wishes to settle
the Chinese question, and, having
eliminated all fear Of aggression, will
give better attention to Persia, where
she has many interests. This will
open the way, 1t is said, for a better
understanding with England, which is
the protecting power over Persia and,
as England Is Japan's ally, the ar
rangement that Is expected to follow
will adhere to the wishes Of Japan.
The ratification Of the agreement is
expected within the month. How soon
the formal announcement will follow
after that is ~conjectural,
The expiring treaty with Russia is
an obsolete document and for diplo-
matte purposes the two countries have
ignored it entirely. The Portsmouth
treaty will offer no obstacle because
of the provision subjecting it to the
new document.
In this connection there enters the
new Acknowledgements treaty to re-
| place the Gresham agreement, which
was terminated by Japan ten days
ago., and the expected proposal by
Russia for a Russian-America treaty.
This will complete vac missing link
in the far Eastern triumvirate, SO far
entered into by Japan and the United
States and Japan and Russia.
