Preparjno for Session.

The usual biennial (ho,lse-cleaning
and hustling on the third floor OF the
capitol lis now on-that of getting
ready for the session. In both the
house and senate chambers, janitors,
carpenters, electricians and other
workmen are busy cleaning, repairing
and getting things i'm order for the
opening, and there seems to be no
end to the work. The house chamber
looks as fresh and beautiful as Ut did
the first time it was placedtil use, but
the senate chamber carries that old,
dingy appearance, telEtale Of many a
hard session, where business instead
of beauty was considered. The car
pets are BADLY worn, the desks are
old, rusty and SCARED; the ceiling,
once beautiful, is Watel-streaked,
while the oil4lamp chandeliers, sus-
pended by cable, dangle from the
ceiling as mute witnesses of pioneer
days. But that chamber carries a sa.
cred charm through the fact that
within it's walls have occurred some
of the most important and most in
|teresting scenes lin the making OF the
political history of this state: Both
will be Dusy scenes in "a few days.

WHAT ABOUT THE RAILWAYS?

New York Herald. Between the
devil and the deep sea" is the position
of the railways.
On the one hand the interstate com.
merce commission refuses to permit
any advance in charges; on the other
are higher prices for supplies and re-.
lentlessness on the part of employees
in demands for advances in salaries.
The railways, which employ three
quarters of a million persons and
maintain about one-eighth Of the en-
tire population OF the country, must
be permitted to live or the cause can.
not continue to prosper.

A happy charm from out its mystic store

RURAL DELIVERY
AND EXPRESSES

WASHINGTON, March ?. The
House interstate and foreign com
merce committee today reported fav-
orably bill to amend the law giving
the interstate commerce commission
authority over express companies.
Provision is made for rate zones, the
charges varying according to the dis
lance the package is carried from the
point of origin. A close working ar
rangement is provided between the
express companies and the rural free
delivery system of the Post Office De
partment.
The bill would govern the trans.
portation of packages not exceeding
eleven pounds in weight and with a
valuation of $50 or less No allow
ance would be made for the expense
of transfer from one express com
pany to another.
An innovation in the bill is the pro
vision for cooperation between the
express companies and the rural free
delivery routes. Express matter des
tined for a farmer living on a rura
mail route would be delivered to thC
express agent at the nearest point t
! it's Estimation, where, provided tint
shipper had attached the necessar!
postage, it would be turned over t
/ the mail carrier, through the regula
channels for delivery, Rural carriers
i likewise would be authorized to &C
Cept matter on which postage hal
been paid for delivery to the expires
company
The rates would be fixed as follows
Between any two points in the UNI
ed States more than 1000 miles apar
, II cents a pound not more than 200
miles apart, 10 cents; not more tina
1900 miles apart, cents; not NOR
than 500 miles apart, 5 cents; nc
more than coo miles apart, 4 cent
and between points not more tina

THE GOVERNMENTS DEFEAT
IN THE SUGAR TRUST CASE

The court 81 think the jury under
stands that it may use evidence Of
date before July /, 1906, as bearing
upon intent afterward."
Mr.. Nicoll objected to the district
attorneys question on the ground
that it was untimely, but the court
did not consider the objection. There
upon the jury withdrew again. The
report in the court room then was
that one man was holding out.
When the messenger came back it
was whispered in the court room that
there was a prospect of an agreement.
During the long wait for a verdict
John e. Parsons was not in court.
When it was seen that the jury would
go to dinner without reaching an
agreement Herbert Parsons urged his
father to go home. He had been in
court since 10 o'clock and showed
rather plainly the effects of the long
strain. He is in his eighty-third year

New York Sun, March 31.-The Jury
in the sugar trial announced dis
agreement at 1880 o'clock this morning
after considering the case for more
than twelve hours. The statute of
limitations was the rock on which
they split.
OF the four defendants accused, as
officers of the sugar trust, of conspir-
acy in restraint of trade the aged
John Il. Parsons was not in court at
the finish. Washington b. Thomas,
president of the American Sugar Re
filming Company, Arthur Bonner and
George II. Frazer were there with
their counsel and Herbert Parsons
also was present.
Judge Hand discharged the jury
after asking them if there was any
prospect of agreeing and getting a
negative answer.
It's great victory said De Ian.
cey Nicoll. The government tried
hard but failed to make a case"
The jury, which had sought more
instructions from Judge Hand in the
afternoon, came into court at 1890
D. m. after the judge had sent up a
message inquiring about the prospect
of an agreement. The jury submit
ted this written question:
AS the statute of limitations re
lieves the jury from considering tbs
evidence prior to July, 1906, and as
we are obliged to rely on the intent
after that date can the judge instruct
us as to what verdict we shall rem
der?"
The court said: IF you are not sat
isfied beyond a reasonable doubt o
criminal intent you must acquit."
Prosecutor Wise asked that the jury
be instructed that the offense was no
Invisible and that if the jury were sat
isfied that the offense was committed
they could consider what took plac,
before July, 1906 and if they founC
that the force of what was done DE
fore that date operated afterward i
was a continuing offense.
