SUES STEAMER TRUST
The Government Brings Action Against
Brazilian Lines.

New, York, June 5.-The national
government filed a civil trust suit in
the federal division court here today
against steamship interests alleged to
have monopolized the transportation of
passengers and freight between the
United States and Brazil

and conferences for concerted action,
it is charged, dates CT sailing have
keen apportioned, profits divided,
freight rates fixed and Determinations

alleged combination a restraint of
trade in violation of the Sherman law

ants entering or clearinc any port Of
tracts, agreements practices of
which the government complains are
continued. The government applies for
a series of injunctions prohibiting all
parties concerned from granting re-
bates or bonuses, from fixing freight
rates and from eliminating competition
among themselves or destroying the eff
forts of rivals.
An interlocutor injunction is sought
to restrain the steamship lines from
continuing their alleged unlawful meth
ods during the tendency of the suit.

self at Ropes End.

Washington, Pa, June 5.-Jan Ribarich,
an Austrian, clever artist and thrice a
murderer, who will be hanged here next
Tuesday, was converted in his cell last
night by his daughter whom he had VOW
ed he would kill because she was the
"cause of it ALL" A visit from his daugh-
ter, a prayer and the singing of Nearer
My God, to Thee" caused a dramatic
incident.
Ribarich, who had fitted his cell into a
studio, for weeks past occupied his time
in painting pictures and presenting them
to his friends and jail officials. He always
spoke jokingly of the gallows and had
persuaded the sheriff to allow him to look
at the ga1lows from a window several
hours before the execution was to take
place.
Ribarich had painted the likeness of
many of his friends and had drawn
sketch of himself dangling at the end OF
a rope with his body half concealed
Ribarich shot and killed Michael Novak,
through the falling of the trap
blamed for harboring his daughter. After
his conviction, the father said his only
desire was to kill his daughter before
he died q she had disobeyed him.
The girl visited her father last night,
accompanied by guards. When he saw
her he broke down. A Methodist minister
nrayed. Nearer My God to Thee was
sung by visitors and jail guards and the
conGen9ned man embraced his daughter.
Before leaving the Jail the daughter,

|IFATHER GIVES UP ROOSEVELT WINS
The Colonel Will Have the
South Dakota Delegation.
Taft Appears to Be Third Man
in the Race.

Sioux Falls. June 5.-That Colonel
Roosevelt will have a plurality of sew
Era1 thousand on the presidential pref
ference vote in yesterdays South Da-
kota primaries seemed assured this
morning. Indications were that Pres
ident Taft would be third in the Re-
publican race, Senator LaFollette
having polled a substantial vote which
in some counties exceeded that of
Roosevelt
Two sets of Clark delegates were on
the ballot and if Governor Wilson
proves to be the winner, as was ap-
parent, his success doubtless will be
due to that handicap over the speaker.
With the principal local interest GEN.
tered in the race for governor, pre-
cinct judges gave their first attention
to the count for that office, with the
result that less than 800 out of the
1900 precincts had reported early to-
day on the presidential preference.
These returns, however, indicated that
Roosevelt will have the whole of the
South Dakota delegation to the Chfca-
go convention and Governor woodrow
Wilson has a good lead over Champ
Clark for the Democratic delegation.
Congressman Burke and Martin of
the Second and Third districts and c.
H. Dillon of the First district are
nominated on the Republican ticket
but the returns do not indicate thus
far who their Democratic opponents
will be- Richard F. Pettigrew had no
opposition for senator on the Demo-
crat ticket. Returns show Thomas
Sterling to be in the lead for United
States senator on the Republican tick

Hanson, Attorney, on Stand in
Insanity Case.

All the strange actions of Justus B.
Linderho1m before his commitment to
the state hospital for the insane, are
being recounted today before a jury
in Judge Whitcomb's court. Back of
it all is the story of Linderholm's mad
infatuation for Jennie Lind, a pretty
Lindsborg woman, and sister-in-law
of the late DR.. c. A. Swensson.
From the lips of Linderholm him
self and from the cross examination
of John Hanson, the insanity lawyer,
the defense dragged bits of Linder-
holm's history before he was adjudg-
ed insane. This testimony is used by
the defense to refute the allegations
of a conspiracy and malicious impris-
onment for which Linderholm asks
$4,000 damages from members of the
board of control and officers of the
Topeka asylum.
Hanson himself went to the stand
at the morning session. Testifying as
a non-eXpert on insanity, Hanson de-
clared that there was nothing in
Lfnderholms life and actions that
justified a fear that he would injure

by American companies, among them
the Santa Cecilia sugar company of
New York, the United Fruit company
and the Nipe Bay company.
Calls For Help.
Washington, June 5.-The marines
referred to in the Caimanera report
are said to be portion of those which
had been in camp at the United states
naval station on GUANTANAMO pay
since the arrival there of the Cruiser
Prairie a week ago.
In response to repeated calls for
help and protection from the plant
ers, mostly Americans between 400
and 500 marines have been sent to
Guantanamo, about SO miles inland
from the American naval station. The
large Santa Cecilia plantation is in
that neighborhoo'd. Some of its
buildings have been burned and live
stock has been stolen by negro ma
rauders nominally attached to Gen

Lorimer Is Attentive Listener to Ar

Washington, June 5.-With the re-
sumption of Senator Kern's speech
against Senator Lorimer today, the
senate enters on its second days con-
si1eration of the Illinois election con-
test The case is being sandwiched
in the senate proceedings with the
legislative appropriation bill which
Senator Warren is trying to press as
rapidly as possible
Senator Kern's speech is the first
of several to be delivered by senators
on both sides of the case. Senator
Kern's speech today, following his at
tack on the res judicata" plea of yes
terday when the debate on the second
investigation was inaugurated, was
planned as a critical analysis of the
evidence taken by the committee. The
particular feature of this was the con-
flict between the testimony of Ed
ward Hines of Chicago, on the one
side and Clarence S. Funk, general
manager of the international Har-
yester Co and others. Senator Lori
mer is keeping a close vigil on the
proceedings occupying a seat where
he can best hear the arraignment of
himself and friends.
