seven members Of the legislature and
one senate employe under indictment
today for alleged bribery, complete
halt In the probe, both by the grand
jury and the senate investigating com
mittee, has been called until some OF
the indicted men are tried. This Is
being done with the expectation that
II one or more convictions can be Sc
cured, some OF the other men under

confessions that will greatly facilD
tate the future work of the grand tafy

81. A date for the senate investigat-
ing committee to take up Its work

dicted May 3, was indicted again on a
new charge of soliciting $1,000
bribe to work against the nne-hour
workday bill for women. Senator
Crawford was indicted on charge OF
soliciting 5000 bribe to oppose trad
ing stamp bill. and Rep. Owen j..
Evans was indicted for the alleged so
liciting OF a $3.50 bribe to vote for the
Dean municipal option bill.
Both Detective Burns, who is now
back on the case, and Prosecutor Tur-
ner declare the end of the probe Is
not in sight and insist that when the
grand jury reconvenes May 81. they
will have a new supply OF evidence
that will implicate not only additional

who put up the money to corrupt the
legislature.

THE REGAL SHOE COM
PANY has given us all a new
idea in advertising, which, thus
far. has proved to be TREMEN-
DOUSLY RESULTFUL to them.
Advertisements h ave ap-
peared in newspapers in cities
where the Regal Company oper-
ates its own stores-telling the
public of its plan of selling shoes
at a NET PROFIT OF FIVE
PER CENT, a small enough net
profit on which to do business.
One of the advertisements
printed gave in detail the cost of
all parts of a shoe, and then
added the cost of selling-get-
ting down to FRACTIONS OF A
CENT, and then giving the total
cost.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-In nine
great trust cases and almost as many
smaller prosecutions, pending or
planned under the Sherman anti
trust act, the government has had its
work almost doubled, 1t is declared
today, by the ruling of the supreme
court in the Standard Oil case that
a combination in restraint of trade to
be illegal must be proved 'unreason-
able"
Work done by special agents from
the departments Of justice, will have
TO be done over to a large extent.
Restraint of trade evidence which
the government has gathered, and
which until two days ago, 1t consid-
cred sufficient to secure convictions,
has now been rendered incomplete.
1t is even possible that cases against
some of the smaller trusts will have
to be abandoned The ''unreason-
able" feature of the law will be test
ed In public in the cases against the
beef trust. Attorneys for the beef
trust recently filed a demurrer to a
decision against them written entire
ly around the word unreasonable" :"
The question will also come up In
the probe OF the steel trust, just
started, of the steamship trust, which
has been under investigation for sew
eral months, and the paper trust.
which the department Of justice has
been working on for nearly two
years.
Prosecutions of .Qficails Of the bath
tub trust, which have been moving
along in a manner most satisfactory
to the government, may also receive
a setback.

Standard Oil Co. Plans
To Reorganize Legally

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE attor.
news and chiefs Of the Standard OIL
Co.. got down to work today on plans
to meet the decision of the supreme
court and dissolve. A tentative
scheme had ben drafted In anucipa-
ton of the mandate OF the lower
court being upheld, but the leeway
given the company by the court or
five additional months in which to
arrange its business, and also Its
modification OF the antitrust law To
permit reasonable competition, has
obviated all necessity for haste.
1t is not likely that the final de-
cision of the company will be made
public for some time to come.
Many persons vitality interested are
speculating and II is generally ex-
pected that new companies, whose
territory will be definitely defined wf1l
be organized.
After a careful inspection OF the
decision OF the supreme court, Moritz
Rosenthal, who was chief counsel for
the Standard when the case was on
trial before the lower courts, said to.
day that the Standard Oil Co. could
reorganize by being divided into the
following sections: Producing, manu-
featuring, transportation and selling
companies.
THE decree of dissolution" he said
seems to concede the right to the
subsidiary companies to combine In
a single organization of each sub
division whose operations are SINH
liar as producers, manufacturers, etc.
II would therefore seem to me that
the company could be broken up In
to four parts, each to be operated ac-
cording to the statute, and thus meet
the letter and spirit of the decision" T"

Members OF the common council
committee on streets who had signed
majority report, asking for read
vertisement Of five paving jobs on

der, made hasty movement to have
their signatures erased, Tuesday night,
when remarks about paving combine
were hurled about the council cham
ber.
Affeld had bid about $4,000 below
the others on some $4,000 worth OF
work. This was his first attempt to
get paving Jobs he having confined his
bids formerly to other work. Aid. Os-
trowski attempted TO have the con-

Gilman asked that the committee hold
up the bids another week. saying that

check for 81 900 would be deposited as
guarantee that lower bids would be
submitted. At 6:30 Tuesday night, a
special committee meeting was held,
but the check had not appeared. Aid.
Joseph Merritt. who had declared all
along that Affeld was. not getting a
fair deal, asked that the bids be APP
proved, but Aid Theisen, Gilman,
Rosenthal and Ostrowsh signed re-
Iort recommending readvertising. Mer-
ritt's minority report was almost
lost among a mass of papers on the
reading clerks desk, but was dug up
and read.

supported by Aid. Allan, Field and
others. who declared that there was q

This Is the section OF the proposed

jority Of the committee on ordinances

At last nights session of the coun-
Gil the ordinance, containing the sec.
tion printed above as well as the sub
stitute favored by the committee. re-
curing motorists to- stop for street
cars only on narrow streets, was read

ton Of the ordinance with the substi-
tute section incorporated in 1t. In

Says STEEL TRUST
OFFERED HIM BRIBE
John J.. Mcnamara, In First State
ment, Says He Was Asked To Give
Secrets of Labor Union.
BY r. w. MADISON.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May H.
John j. Mcnamara, charged Jointly
with his brother, Jas. B. Mcnamara,
with the murder Of 10 persons in the
Los Angeles Times explosion, today
gave to the representative of The
Times, his first statement to the press
since his arrival, under arrest, In Los
Angeles. He charges an agent of the
I Steel Trust with having offered him
a bribe In the form ca salary to be.
tray his trust while he was secretary
of the Structural Iron Workers
| Union.
Since he has been in Jail here,
there have been no authentic inter
views with Mcnamara. He has talk
ed TO no newspaper representatives,
has constantly refused 10 see any one
save his attorneys, Though still re-
fusing to be interviewed he sent out
| from his cell today the following
authorized statement:
McNamara's First Statement.
During the entire time that have
been an official of the international
Association OF Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, constant attempts have
been made to anhihilate our organi-
zation. These assaults have been led
by the United States Steel Corpora
ton, and the organization formed by
II for this special purpose. These
interests while preaching the doctrine
OF the destruction of labor organiza-
tions. have themselves formed organ
izations of large dimensions for un-
lawful purposes, but have contrived
to be organized in such a way that
they are not amenable to the law.
Upon this subject could speak
volumes and point to uncounted acts
of corruption.
One of my first experiences with
these people falls in the year 1905.
when a special agent of the United
States Steel Corporation sought to
bribe me into betraying my brother
workers. At this time he approached
me frequently, and at the HolleIs en
hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, offered to
pay me a salary OF $l25 per month II
| would agree TO disclose to the
United States Steel Corporation the
condolences of my own organization.
My salary at that time was $125 per
month and in order TO find out wheth-
er it was my services which this cor
poration desired, or whether 1t was
its object to corrupt my own organi-
zation, offered TO resign my posi-
tion and go to work for the Steel Cor
poration at a salary OF $3.50 per
month. This offer. however, was
promptly declined, and | was openly
told that could be of no use to the
Steel Corporation unless I remained
an official of the International Asso-
citation OF Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers.
This is but a sample OF the many
personal experiences OF this nature
which / have had, and which | know
other men, occupying similar posi-
tions to my own have also had. In
spite of all the temptations which
have been placed in my path, | have
sought to lead an honest and upright
life, and believe can truthfully
say that | cannot honestly be accused
OF preaching any doctrine except that
OF compliance with the law.
"In other words, have always
been an advocate OF Evolution rath-
er than Revolution

CONF N G

Thomas McClary has been styled
The Man With the Joy Face"
There is quizzical humor there,
eyer ready to break out. He has,
moreover, just the proper build for
platform fun. He is very tall. He
is also very thin. Some have been
unkind enough to call him homely.
But this tall, angular nominees is
accompanied by a flood of golden
humor; and that is why McClary Is
McClary.
If you don't enjoy laugh, don't
come to hear him. If yonr troubles
have given you a stare that you
think will not come off, hear Nc
Clary and it will disappear. His
peculiar mission is to shake people
loose from their troubles. And
that is what he does. And yet there
is not In all McClary says one word
that could be classed as trivial or
trashy. He is just so constituted
that whatever he says or does re-
fleets a humorous quality, and this
element has given him his reputa-
ton.
Mr.. McClary will lecture here
