Father and Son Murdered.

Sac City, May 31.-Special: Excited
crowds last night surrounded the Jail
in which are viii White, Clifford
Wilson and Ray Mertens, the latter Of
whom is accused of shooting James
White and his son Matthew, at their
home here yesterday and excitement
runs high yet to-day. Will White,
| who is a son and brother of the MUIR
dered men, and Wilson were captured
Immediately after the shooting, and
Mertens was taken fivemiles west of
here by automobilists who were
searching for him. Lynching is fear
ed. The three men arrested were to-
gether and seemingly were good
| friends. When near the house, how
ever Will White is said to have de-
clared that $24 had been stolen from
him, and run into the home calling
out that two men were attempting
to rob the house. Mertens and Will
son, it is said, followed him into the
living room of the house where James
White was shot down. Mathew
White also was shot when he entered
the room and died shortly afterward.
Mertens, is stranger here.
The coroner's jury in the inquest
held here this, morning is holding
Clifford Wilson, the son of promin-
ent implement dealer of this place.
and James Mertens, young man who
has cards showing that he has lived
at Omaha and Oklahoma City, for the
murder. These two fellows were with
Will White, another son of the old
man, on the night before and all were
drinking. White testifies that the
young men were drunk and informed
him that they were on their way to
his home to rob the old man. He tried
to dissuade them and then left them.
He went to he home and was in his
mothers room talking to her when
two shots were heard and he rushed
into the fathers room to find him
and the brother dead with bullets in
their heads. The bullets recovered
from the bodies fit the calibre of
gun taken from Mertens. Excitement
runs high.

None Hurt in Bad Wreck,

Chelsea, May 31.-Special: That
$50 people could be on a train run
ming fifty miles an hour, occupying
sleepers and coaches, from which
berths and seats were torn from their
moorings and escape without a brok-
Ell bone of any kind and without a
drop of blood being spilled, seems mi
raculous, yet such was the case in a
wreck of the Los Angeles limited on
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
just east OF here yesterday. Seven of
the nine cars went into the ditch as
the result of the breaking of journal
on the engine tank. All passengers
were taken west on the two cars of
the train that were unframed. Sever
al passengers were bruised fom roll
ing seats in the chair car. The fact
that the equipment was new and
sound alone prevented a horrible loss
of life and serious injury, officials de.
clare.

ROOSEVELT TO G. A. R.
COLONEL DECLARES LAWS OF
LAND ARE ouTWoRN.
Says We Should Not Only Emulate
Abraham Lincoln and the Soldier,
But Lesislate.

Newark, N. j., May 31.-Theodore
Roosevelt was the principal speaker
here at the unwilling of a bronze
statue by Gutzon Borglum of Abraham
Lincoln.
The colonel accepted the statue in
the name of the Lincoln post G. A. Il.
of this city, and turned it over to the
municipality with an appropriate eu-
logy. The statue is one of the largest
ever cast in single piece and repre-
sents Lincoln sitting at long. low
bench, half reclining on his right hand.
III deep thought. ..~s
Colonel Roosevelt In his address de-
clared the laws of the land outworn.
They were excellent laws for the
fiintloek period he asserted. but
they do not apply to present-day con-
ditions. Little you soldiers could have
done with fiinuocks in the war days.
Laws must keep up with changed con-
ditions, retaining the spirit of liberty
and justice, curbing the greed of the
constituencies rich and banishing an
archy. 1t is poor thing to praise the
deeds of the soldiefs or the deeds OF
Lincoln if we do not emulate them
in legislation. We must have clean
politics and clean business, and we
must respect the rights of labor or be
recreant to the spirit of Lincoln"
Touching upon peace BY arbitration,
he expressed his favor of it, but only
in case righteousness prevailed. Peace
without righteousness would be intol'
cradle, he said. He insisted the re-,
public would stand for righteousness
at any cost.
ut is our business" he declared
ito help the wage Garner and it is our
business to put stop to murderous
violence even if 1t is INDUCED in nom
inally to achieve those ends"

liShman was in good condition and
amply able to defend the title.

MAY PROSECUTE
TOBACCO MAGNATES
Statutes of Limitation Enter In
to Question.
LESS TALK OF AMENDMENT
Change of Law From Only treason
able" to every" Restraint of
Trade Becomes More Improb-
able Through Decision.

Washington, May 31.-The POSSIBLE
tiles of criminal prosecutions of the
individual members of the tobacco
trust. which was ordered dissolved by
the Supreme court, are being carefully
considered at the department of JUS
tice. ...r.
Neither Attorney General Wicker
sham nor any of his assistants would
make any statement as to the proba
BILE course of the government, and no
decision on that point is likely for
several days.
In regard to criminal prosecutions,
however, the tobacco case is said to
differ somewhat from the Standard
Oil case.
In the latter Attorney General Wick
ersham said that no criminal prosecu-
tions were under way, but declined to
say positively that none were contem-
plated. Certain questions regarding
the application of the statutes of linn
itation enter into both cases, and it is
said that the legal problems involved
are intricate.
Fight Likely on Amendment.
Sentiment in favor of amending the
Sherman antitrust law so as to make
| every" restraint of trade a violation
of the law instead of only 'unreason-
able" restraints was pronounced by
several senators as perceptibly re-
duced by the decision of the Supreme
court in the tobacco case.
No intention, however, Of abandon
ing the proposed attempt to amend
the law has been announced by the
senators who introduced amendments
in the senate just after the Standard
Oil decision.
1t is said, nevertheless, that the
forces of the discontinued senator's
have been reduced and that the most
stubborn defense of the law and of the
Interpretation by the court would be
made on the floor of the senate If the
amendments are urged for passage.
Law Regarded Sufficient.
The drastic remedy held over the
| heads of the defendants in the tobacco
case, In event they do not remedy the
evils complained of by the court, is
said to have strengthened the faith OF
those who accepted the majority opin
| ion of the court in the Standard Oil
case as the proper course.
The decree in the tobacco case is
taken by such persons as showing that
| the Sherman antitrust law Is an in
strument by which every evil Of this
nature In interstate commerce may be
crushed out, IF the government only
possesses the will and the energy t.
do So
officials Are Unconcerned.
Richmond, Va, May 31.-The Su
preme courts decision in the tobacco
case is viewed with little concern by
the operating officials of the American
Tobacco company's huge factorie.

1T cannot reduce our output" sale

seems probable that under the re
quired reorganization we may be in
convenienced by having clumsie
