sentative German clergymen Of differ
emit denominations coming to this
country next year to confer with
American clergymen regarding world
peace
The Rev. Mr.. Schultze will travel in

IRE MlLWAVEEE's NEW TRAIN
PUT INTO SERVICE ON NEW
SEATTLE RUN.
All Of the Coaches Were Of Steel and
Have Every convenIenee Of a
Fret Class Hotel.

Chicago, May Perhaps the most
magnificent equipped all steel train
ever put into transcontinental service
left the central station on its Initial
trip to seattle and Puget Sound. The
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul's
Olympian began the first part Of the
trip to Seattle as the first through
train ever run over the new line. The
train carried a full number Of passen-
gers, every berth, both upper and
lower, being taken. The st. Paul
has spared neither time or expense
to make this service bsyond par and
II requires 20 complete trains which
are all Of steel. for this service. The
opening of the through service to
Seattle marks a new ere In transcon-
tinental trains. The 0lympian and
the Columbian are the names Of the
two trains. one leaving In the morn.
Ing and the other In the afternoon.
The equipment consists Of steel draw
ing room compartments standard ana
tourists sleeping cars, steel observa-,
ton and dining cars, coaches, bag
gage, mail and express cars built espe-
cially for this new service The cars
are different from the old steel coach.
Instead Of having the usual steel nm
ish the interiors are finished In
.C,tham mahogany and English walnut
with fittings and furnishings to har-
monte. Both trains are electric light
cd throughout and have every COM
fort that human mind can imagine.
The train carries first class buffet
and club cars and barber shop, also
has a large bathroom and pressing
rooms. Passengers may have their
clothes pressed en- route, in fact, the
train affords every convenience that
is to be found in q FIRST class hotel.

BRYAN OPPOSED TO REVISION
Ne Criticised the Program Of the
House Democrats on Wool and
Wooden Goods.

Washington, May S1.-William Jen-
nings Bryan took exception to the
program Of his party in the house and
criticised sharply the majority Of the
Democrats who have agreed to sup
port the revised tariff schedule on
wool and wooden goods. The criticism
was contained in statement made
public through Representative Harri'
son Of New York.
Chairman Underwood Of the ways
and means committee contented him
self with the declaration that despite
Mr. Bryan's stand the revised tariff
would go through the Democratic
caucus with two-thirds majority.

CASE AGAINST MORGAN
The Testimony Of Gates a. Il seands
Has Convicted Him Of Conspiracy
Under Sherman Law.

Washington, May S1.-on the sworn
evidence Of John W. Gates, a case has
already been made out against j.
Pierpont Morgan for conspiracy I'M
der the Sherman act. As this testi-
many will go on the records and be
laid before the attorney general at
the proper time for action, 1t is re-
garded by the Stanley steel investiga'
tors as extremely likely that Mr..
Morgan will desire to present his side
Of the case whether he is reached by
subpoena or not. The same applies
to Theodore Roosevelt and all others
whose honesty Of Judgment has been
attacked by the startling evidence Of
Mr.. Gates.
Chairman Stanley refuses to say
whether he has summoned Morgan
or Roosevelt or expects to summon
them, or has received assurances that
they will appear without being sum-
moned.

end THE TRUST
SAID MADISON
PROSECUTE 1HE GUILIY MEM
The Highest Court Has Held Roele-
Teller, Duke and Their Assoc
clates Guilty and Attorney
General should Act.

Washington. May S1.-Seize every
pound Of tobacco and every gallon Of
oil that goes into interstate com
merce. That is the way to break up
the tobacco and the oil trusts, 3. H.
Madison. representative from the Sew.
enth Kansas district, said, and such
O procedure IL possible. Discussing
the two recent decisions Of the SUI
preme court. Judge Madison said:
The thing which friends Of the en-
f0rcement Of the Sherman antitrust
law will most regret about the Stand
ard OIL and tobacco trust decisions IL
the failure Of the supreme court to
hand down q decree eiRectually and at
once ending the combinations which
1t denounces a. unlawful in unpeas-
ured terms. The court In effect, 80
far as the exercise Of its injunctive
powers 10 concerned, practically
licenses those combinations TO con-
tinue their unlawful combination for
six months. Such Judgment will not
discourage them, but simply lend
hope that in that period they may
devise schemes that will enable them
to evade the law for another long
period. That particularly will apply
to the Standard Oil company, upon
which the surveillance Of the court Is
removed during this period. The cir
cult court ordered the dissolution OF
the trust in 80 days and until dis
solved 1t was enjoined from engaging
in interstate commerce. That sort
of decree had real teeth in 1t. II 1t
had been upheld by the supreme court
the dissolution would have occurred
by now and the trust would have IN
derstood 1t was really under the con-
demnation Of the law. Dealing with
trusts by gentle taps on the wrist will
accomplish nothing.
There is great opportunity be-
fore Attorney General Wickersham,
the greatest that has come to any at
torney general since the enactment OF
the sherman law. The highest court
in the land has held that the actions
of John D. and William Rockefeller
and their associates and H. B. Duke,
T. F. Ryan and their associates were
clearly in violation Of law. Those
still alive can be and should be prose-
cuted."

TOBACCO TRUST WILL STAY
PLANe ARE ALREADY MADE TO
REoRcANlzE.
The Present stockholders VIII Con.
tInue to Control the Business In
Different Form.

New York, May 31.-The American
Tobacco trust will continue to do
business at the same old stand. The
control will remain with the 80 stock
holders. The reorganization plan,
called for under the supreme court
decision, will have for Its object the
institution Of five individual corpora
tons but without holding company.
The company which, like the Stand
ard OIL company, has been ordered
dissolved by the supreme court, Will
act Immediately to carry out the pro-
visions Of the tribunals mandate. The
Tobacco trust officials will even take
steps to affect Its rehabilitation be-
fore the effect Of the decree can be-
come a judicial matter Of fact through
affirmation by the lower court, as or
dered by the supreme court.
A meeting Of the representatives
Of the American Tobacco company
was called for to-day at its main
ONCE, III Fifth avenue, TO consult
with Delaney Nicoll. counsel for the
corporation, and other attorneys Of
the company. This was to be the
first Of q series Of meetings to out
line q plan for reorganization on the
lines similar to those which the
Standard OIL company will adopt. 1t
10 believed that before the eight
months time allowed by the supreme
court have elapsed, the concern will
have been split up into .its integral
parts, each with . separate branch
business in It's hands.

WH|RL Of DEATH
FOR 500 MILES
HARBOUR WAS THE WINNER


Indianapolis. May 31.-Nearly 1O0,-
900 persons from every state in the
Union saw 40 Of the most intrepid
automobile drivers in the country
court death on the A. A. U. soucer
shaped Indianapolis speedway.
They saw Ray Harroun, driving .
Marmon car, win the big speed event.
They saw Harroun, q mere slip of a
man, nervy, cool headed in the face
Of danger, veritable part Of his
machine, drive the 500 miles Of the
race In less than seven hours or at
an average rate Of speed of rs miles
an hour including stops.
These 100000 persons--or a part Of
them-saw one man dashed to death.
They saw seven others more or less
seriously injured.
They saw escapes that seemed al.
most miraculous by the score.
The crowd sat fascinated by the
danger that attached to the racing
game. The spectators cheered but
little, their nerves were too tensely
drawn during the progress OF the race
to give vent to their emotions either
way. Every man, every woman, every
child In that vast enclosure momen-
tarily was expecting some dire dis
aster to over take the men who were
risking life and limb in their mad
dash around the brick paved track.
The crowd was not disappointed.
