SENATOR P0MERENE HAULs
JOHN D. OVER HOT GOALS
Demands Attorney General Institute
Criminal Proceedings Against Men
Behind Two Big Trusts.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Making
a direct demand for the criminal pros
ecution of John ID. Rockefeller, Sena
tor Pomerene (Dem. Ohio, delivered
an arraignment OF the Standard OIL
and tobacco magnates in the senate
this afternon. saying OF Rockefeller:
His pathway is marked by q great
er number Of victims whose business
careers he has ruined by his unlaw
full methods than that of any other
man in the industrial history of this
country. and yet he has gone unwhip
ped of justice.
Speaking for myself" he said, 81
think II high time that the American
people should understand whether
the Stars aud Stripes are to be the
emblems Of their power and authority
or the emblems of the oil barrel and
the tobacco tag.
Pomerene spoke on his resolution
instructing Attorney General wickers
ham to institute criminal proceedings
Immediately against the men behind
the two big trusts.
The law Is no respector OF per
sons, and the government ought not
TO be-" he declared. The poor and
lowly are not above the law, and the
rich and the strong In combination
ought not to be permitted to violate 1,
with impunity.
mo statute was ever more plainly
written than the Sherman anti-trusI
law, or more easily understood by
those who want TO understand 1t. Any
hundred dollar country lawyer car
tell what this law means. II takes q
hundred thousand dollar lawyer tc
point out its provisions. The vas
corporations and the learned counse
attempt to warp the law to conform
II to their business.
What excuse can any sworn officia
give to the people of this country FOL
failure to enforce this law, when they
are every day exerting themselves Il
punish other transgressors with les.
money and less influence at their com
mand?
prosecutions against these oil and
tobacco men should be brought In

.HALLY DENIES
D. j. R. s CLAIM
Says Road by Violating Three-Cent
Franchise Terms Forfeits Right
To Sue City.

That the Detroit United Railway
has so far violated the terms OF the
three-cent line franchise that II Is not
entitled to any damages from the city
for non-fulfillment of the latter's part
OF the agreement, Is contended by
Corporation Counsel Hally in plea
filed Thursday In suit brought
against the city by the railway com.
pany.
The company seeks to collect $3.50
for repairs which 1t was forced to
make to the roadbed because OF a
change of street grade at Porter and
Sixth-st. 1t alleges that the city has
violated section of the franchise,
which specifies that the city shall
keep the roadbed In repair The cor
poration counsel gives notice that he
will meet this by charging that the
company has violated sections and
10 of the franchise, by charging fares
in excess OF those fixed by the fran
chise, and by falling to keep its cars
In clean and sanitary condition and to
avoid overcrowding.
The corporation counsel insists that
the railway company has no right OF
recovery. The stretch OF track u
used not only by the Sherman three
cent. but by the Baker .fve-cent line.

MRS. FORD BREAKS
DOWN ON STAND
Principal Witness in States Case
Against Edgar s. Cooke Is Carried
From Court Room.

CINCINNATI, o., June 15.--Mrs.
Jeanette Stewart Ford, principal wit.
ness in the case OF Edward 8. Cooke,
the alleged Big Hour embezzler, coll
Flapsed on the witness stand today
shortly after noon. She was removed
In her invalid's chair, her physician
declaring her condition was serious.
She probably will not be recalled.
Mrs. Ford was the only witness OF
the morning session. The most i'm
portant feature OF her testimony was
the declaration that Frank Comstock,
former Big Four treasurer, now OF
Kankakee, Ills. had admitted to her
shortage in his funds and reitera-
tion of the statement that she carried
$22 900 of the $4,000 alleged to have
been embezzled by Cooke to New
York.
The unexpected presence of her lit
tie daughter In court marked the be-
ginning of Mrs. Ford's breakdown.
When she was carried from the court
room she was hysterical.
Mrs Ford, once a beautiful wo-
man, but now palsied invalid, yes
terday took the witness stand In the
trial for embezzlement OF Edgar 8.
Cooke, of Chicago, and with quaver-
ing voice admitted having hidden $22.-
900 in money for Cooke in a New
York safe deposit vault and declared
he told her II had been taken from
the Big Four railway" Cooke had
helped himself, she said, because ev.
eryone else was taking all they could
lay hands on.
Mrs. Ford said that she had re-
ceived $1,000 or $1,000 of this amount
for herself. When shown a check
for $1,000. signed by her hand and in
dorsed by Cooke, she said that
Cooke, who was formerly bookkeeper
for the railroad, had forced her to re-
turn that amount to him.
In all essential details Mrs. Ford's
testimony fitted into and supplement-
ed that of Charles L. Warmer, now
serving six years for defalcation.
Warmer had related that when he
discovered that Cooke was short, the
defendant had promised to return
visited WARMERS home and given
him $1,000.
Mrs. Ford said she had accompanied
| Cooke to the Warmer home one
night, but had remained outside until

CHAUNCEY HAS
.DEFENsE,0F COURSE
Really Didn't Know the Auto He
Had Was Stolen, He
Confdes.

Wearing a pair of hectic hose and
an air OF injured innocence that would
disarm the suspicious Of even towr
constable, Chauncey w. Hammond
darling child of adventure and misad
venture, received callers In the eel
block In the central police station
Thursday morning.
Chauncey Is accustomed to his
apartments, having formed a close ac
quaintance with them on a previous
occasion when he was accused Of ap
propriating a matter of $1,000 from
the EMF Co. Fate has bound the
auto TO Chauncey all right. II seems
to be part and parcel OF the Hammond
mode OF life, as now he Is charged
with taking a mere car. DIR. Thomas
Brady's machine. with which he was
caught In Columbus, o.
There was a note OF reticence or
Chauncey's demeanor. He was un
shaven, quite an unfortunate condition
for him, and he preferred not to say
much until he had consulted with 9
barber and an attorney. the former
being the far more urgent item II
Cnauncey,s eyes.
Young Hammond is not much per
turbed over his latest Incarceration
He was asked II he expected to ge
away on this charge. and he smiled
broadly and confidently. He sat on 8
table and he crossed his legs In from
of him. tailor fashion, and gazet
dreamily into space.

he said. I've got defense and It'll

That is the only hint Hammond
gives OF his defense-he didn't krov
It was stolen. But what of William
Fraser, Hammond's pal In distress
He told the folks down in Columbus
he didn't know the machine was stol'
en-. He was merely being entertain
ed by his generous friend, Mr.. Ham
mond.
And as for the tire thefts the po.
lice say they will fasten on Ham.
mond, why, it's absurd!
II don't see how they can connect
me with any OF that business" re-
fiected the smiling Chauncey.
Detectives Lally and Parker
brought Hammond and Fraser back
from Columbus, Wednesday, after the
two accused men had made a puny
effort to fight extradition.s Mr.. Lally
being very thorough officer, decid-
ed TO take no chances with Hammond
and when that young man offered to
drive the entire party back to Detroit
In the Brady car. Lally declined with
thanks. Instead, he snapped pair
of steel cuffs over the Hammond
wristlets and Chauncey rode back In
a train.
The police say that Hammond told
the folks in Columbus that he nailed
from Saginaw, Mich, and was on his
way to Hot Springs, for the baths. He
offered to sell the machine to NOV
ing picture show owner at the redicu.
lously low figure OF 5000. According
to Lieut.. Lally, he told his prospec.
tive purchaser that he needed the
money and that he had been forced
to the doubtful extremity Of pawning
his diamond in Detroit.
All this legal business Is a source
OF great annoyance to Chauncey. albeit
he doesn't show 1t. He says he'll
have much to say later, after he con
fers with Atty. Charles T. wilkins
