Democratic Free Sugar

Strikers Children from Lawrence,
Mass, Also Figuring In Congress.

Washington, ID. G., March 6.-(Spe
ciaD .--Every day now that March has
come and Washington is getting into
the heart of things, there is a new
climax In the morning, there is no
telling what will happen before eve
ming When one goes to his couch at
night. he is never certain what start
ling thing will occur before he arises
and sits down to breakfast.
The President makers seemed to be
outdoing all other enterprising folks,
but it is no longer that way Wher
so many We're trying to get into the
limelght and to curry for popular
favor, the Democratic House was in
danger of being overlooked. 1T is
thus no longer. The Democratic House
itself has come forward with a start
ling proposition. This measures now
in the public eye.
Free sugar and an income tax!
With a wave of the hand it has been
proclaimed Gas far as one legislative
branch of government can proclaim
it, Tongues are wagging, pens are
scratching and the country is filled
with comment about the wonderful
House Democrats. Right away there
will be session of the House, when
Chairman Underwood will call up this
measure, calculated to lay the founda-
lions for a new fiscal policy in the
land of the free. There are Demo-
cratic votes to pass it. after the ora
tors have vexed the air for a day or
two.
The Senate will pass it too, in the
course of two or three months, IL
signs count for anything. Not the
Republican Senate, oh. dear no. The
Democratic and Insurgent Senate, in
a sort of hands-across- the bloody
party chasm performance. Project
your mind into May or early June
and you can see the newspaper para
graphs about the last weary days of
Senate debate. about the Louisiana
senators with cane growing con-
stituents) and the senators from the
beet sugar states (even though they
be Insurgents) fighting defiantly to
the last ditch You can also imagine
the articles about the final vote and
the progress of the bill to the White
House, where it will linger along for
a few days. till President Taft can
find time to stab it to death with a
specially selected pen.

Washington, March 6.-The Senate

France at 4.S0 p. NJ, tomorrow, under
an agreement reached late. today.

Senate.
This is the critical point for the
treaties but their supporters expressed
confidence, tonight, that they would
pass it safely. Originally. the amend
ment had the endorsement of the COM
mittee but it has given way to the
endorsement of the Lodge resolution
of ratification which is designed to re-

Pekin, March 6--Comparative quiet
has been restored at Pekin The action
of the American minister, Mr.. Cal
houn, in cabling to Manila for further
troops for Tien Tsin, it is stated, was
not because of the fear of a concerted
attempt against foreigners, similar to
the Boxer rising, but because the Chi
nese troops cannot be depended upon,
disorders are sweeping the north and
with little prospect of prompt restor-
alton of government control, it was
considered unwise to take any chances.
The American legation sent a mes
sage, today, to the missionaries at
Pao Ting Flu, urging that the women
and children especially be sent to
place of safety inasmueh as Pao Ting
Iu is beyond the reach of protection.
Letters had previously been received
from Pao Ting Flu, giving accounts of
the distress of the natives, owing to
the sacking of the shops and houses
The homes of some of the wealthiest
residents are now only heaps of ruins.
The missionaries say that their pres
ence there is greatly needed because
many persons have been injured and
are destitute and will not survive
without aid. The French legation has

Standard Oil Lawyer Says Company Is
Not Dissolved.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-"The Standard Oil
company has not been dissolved. The
federal government can not dissolve the
corporation because a dissolution must
come from the state which gave it its
charter"
Levy Mayer, counsel for the Stand
ard Oil company and the Corn Products
Refining company, made this statement
in arguments in defense of the oil cor
poration in the suit of George f. Hard
ing before Federal Judge F. D. Geiger.
Attorney Mayer explained that while
the properties of the Standard Oil
company have been dissolved in ac-
cordance with the decree of the Uni
ted States supreme court, technically
there has not been and could not be a
dissolution of the corporation itself.
Arguments were on a motion to have
the Standard Oil company and the
Corn Products Refining company appear
to answer to charges in a suit of
eral years standing for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Corn Prod
nets Refining company and it's two al
lied companies.
Attorney William ]. Ammen, repre-
senting Harding, remarked in his ar
gument:
You will please take judicial notice
that the Standard Oil company has
been dissolved
Mr. Mayer then made the declaration
explaining how the Standard Oil COM
pany had been dissolved only as re-
iates to its properties and holdings.
Attorney Mayer argued that federal
court is without Jurisdiction in the
