SentimentalIy, some persons have
a capacity for love and some have

never can tell, until you live with

Fortunately, it is as much joy to
love as to be loved. Therefore true
love sometimes wastes itself and
goes laundering, but happy, through
life.h
Then again, love is not always
blind. And justice, even with ban
daged eyes, can tell when the ballast
shifts in the ship of matrimony.

Indicates u. s. on Standard Oil
Trail Again.
ALREADY PROBING GASOLINE
Call on Chicago Prosecutor of
Famous Trust Case.
Attorney General WithhOlds
Evidence He Has Collected.

Washington, April 13.-Attorney
General Gregory, responding to SEN
ator Kenyon's resolution calling for
the results of the department of justice
investigation into the working of the
Standard Oil dissolution told the SEN
ate today that it would be incom-
patible with public interest to disclose
the information at this time.
Probe Dissolution.
The attorney generals refusal was
regarded as forecasting some develop
ment in connection with the recent
rise in the price of gasoline. Depart
ment officials recently have been il
frequent consultation with Charles B.
Morrison of Chicago, who took part in
prosecuting the dissolution suit
against the Standard Oil company and
is said to have conducted investiga
ton since the dissolution of the trust,
on behalf of the department to deter
mine whether the so-called subsid-
iaries have violated the antitrust law
since the decree was entered.
The department investigations are
said to have disclosed that the So
called Standard Oil companies are not
competing, that the stock ownership ct
tered since the dissolution decree and
that they are virtually all controlled
today by the same group of men who
controlled the old Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey. Government Of
ficials have regarded the dissolution
decree as fundamentally defective in
that it permitted the same group of
men who controlled the oil trust TO
control the companies into which it
was separated.
New Investigation On.
Inasmuch as the decree permitted
an unchanged ownership, present Of
ficials of the department have con-
fined their efforts largely to determ-
lining whether any new violations of
the law were involved by the COM
panies. Reports that Mr.. Morrison
had been commissioned by the depart
ment to undertake a new investigation
| of the Standard Oil companies to de-
termine whether the rise in the price
of gasoline, warranted prosecutions
have been persistent for ten days. De-
| partment officials refused today to
| comment on these reports, although it
was admitted Mr.. Morrison had been
! in consultation at the department re-
Gently.
! The attorney generals office has
! been investigating the gasoline price
| increase, however, largely through the
I federal trade commission and has
| been in frequent consultations with
| members of the commission.

CLASH AT PARRAL
q. S. Troops in Some Kind of
Trouble, Says Report.
Encounter Either With De Fac
tOs or Civilians, Is Belief.

San Antonio, April 1S.-Advices re-
ceived at department headquarters,
Fort Sam Houston, today state that
American forces have had an encoun-
ter with either Mexican military forces
or the civilian population of Parral.
No details are available.
The report came to General Fun
ston from American Consul Fletcher.
1t stated that Major Gutierrez, COM
mander at Parral, said there was a
clash, which he termed unimportant,
between American forces and the
troops of the garrison, or residents of
Parral.
The Americans entered the town
with the intention of marching
through en- route southwark, an eX-
change of shots followed. The infer
ence is that the Americans continued
to march through the town. They
probably were the troops under Major
Tompkins.
Gutierrez minimized the affair, say
ing the Americans appeared suddenly,
unheralded, and the Mexicans were
alarmed.

Four Under Arrest Make Con-
fessiOn to Police.
FERTILIZER PLANT MADE BOMB
Believe Suspects Responsible
for 33 Steamer Losses.
Find Bombs in Sugar Bags
After Ship Caught Fire.

New York April 13.-Detectives
who yesterday arrested four Germans
charged with placing bombs on ships
carrying war munitions to the en-
tente allies today sought evidence in
volving a well known German who is
alleged to have supplied a $4,000
fund to finance the fire bomb con-
spiracy They sought also the arrest
of the chemist who aided in the man
ufacture of the bombs. The name of
neither of these men has been revealed
by the police.
Four employees of the Hamburg
American line and North German
Lloyd Steamship company here are
under arrest charged with attempting
arson either in making bombs or TAX
ing part in the conspiracy. They are
Ernest Becker. an electrician of the
steamer Kaiser Friedrich der Crosse
Captain Charles Won Kliest, superin-
tendent of the New Jersey Agricultu-
raj and Chemical company of Hobo
ken, N. j.; Captain Otto Wolpert, su-
perintendent of the Atlas line piers of
the Hamburg-American company, and
Captain Emo Bode, superintendent of
the Hamburg-American line PIERS in
Hoboken.
Preparations were made to arraign
them in a Brooklyn court today to an
swer the specific charge of placing
bombs in sugar bags on board the
steamer Kirk Oswald on May 2, 1915.
The steamer caught fire from bomb
explosions while on her way to Mar
seilles, France. UneXploded bombs
were found in her cargo after her ar
rival there.
Police Captain Thomas Tunney re-
CARDS the arrest of the four prisoners
as the most important stride yet made
in the detection of a great conspiracy
to destroy steamships sailing with war
munitions. The police believe the men
involved have been responsible for
fires. on at least 3S steamers that have
caused $4.00o,000 damages. They as
sert they have evidence that bombs
made in a Hoboken factory ostensibly
operated for the manufacture of fer
tilizer were sent to all parts Of the
country. Detectives asserted today
that one of the prisoners said he had
been sent to the factory in Hoboken
by Captain Franz Won Papen, former
military attache of the German en-
bassy at Washington, who was recalled
at the request of the United States.
Both Becker and Won Kliest are
said by the police to have confessed
making the bombs.
PlOtters' Quarrel UndOing.
Discovery of the plot was brought
about, according to the authorities o1
Hoboken through the discomfort of 6
man who had quarreled with the
leaders over money payments. The
Hoboken authorities said that the
man whose identity is withheld, told
them that Captain Boy-Ed. the Ger
man naval attache in Washington
attache, had before their departure
/ from the United States filed a large
sum of money at the disposal of tht
| bomb makers.

MAIL TO PRIZE COURT
Securities Seized by Britain Valued at
100000 Pounds.

Grey, the British foreign secretary, re-
plying to a question in the house of
commons today, confirmed the state
ment published last month that the
value of the securities intercepted by
the British authorities in the letter
post between Holland and the United
States was 100000 pounds sterling
Protests, he added, had been made by
neutral countries and discussion with
them was proceeding.
Sir Edward said the securities taken
from the letter post between Holland
and the United States were seized on
the ground that they were of German
origin. They would be dealt with in
the prize court in the some way as
would other German exports, he ex-

Madison, Wis, April 13.-After
experimenting for years on
1000 rats, to find the ingredients
of the food that will make human
beings live the most efficient
lives, Prof. E. V. McCollum, it
was learned today, has just OBJ
tanned his first satisfactory results
and expects to be ready to pre-
scribe the perfect food before
long.
McCollum still is in search of
the chemical parts of two un-
known compounds that he must
have. He chooses the food for his
rats as carefully as though they
were dyspeptic millionaires. Some
of the long tailed boys and girls
have grown to be quite chummy
with the professor.

BATTLE SUBSIDIES
LuII Spreads Over Entire Ver-
dun Battlefield.
Pause While Germans Fill Up
Gaps in Ranks.

Paris, April 13.-Another lull has
fallen on the Verdun battle field as
the Germans have been obliged to
pause in order to fill up the gaps in
their ranks, to replace damaged guns
and to bring up munitions preparatory
to further onslaughts.
1t is believed the French command
is not likely to modify its methods.
General Petain is said to be quite sat
isfied as long as the Germans go on
losing three times as many men as the
French for unimportant results as he
knows that he has ample reserves to
press a counter attack on a large scale
when the opportune time comes. and
stocks of ammunition which are prac-
tically inexhaustible.
Since the first month of the war the
output of the three inch shells in
France increased 33 Y times. Twenty
three times as many 75-millimetre
guns are being made as in August,
1914, and the manufacture of heavy
guns has increased in the same ratio.
Planned Attack Withheld.
Paris, April 13.-Calm prevailed in
the whole region of Verdun last night.
this mornings official statement says.
Preparation was made by the Ger
mans for an attack on hill 304 but the
attack was prevented by the French
from being carried into effect. No
other important developments were
reported at the front"
German Drive Defeated.
Paris, April 12.-The German gem
eral attack on the left bank of the
Meuse which began on Sunday is re-
garded as having been beaten and the
Germans have reverted to the pre-
vious relatively small alternate strokes
against the French positions on both
/ sides of the river and to artillery oper-
ationS.
When the remaining French pro-
jections along Forges brook had been
! Strengthened out the Germans were
able to engage the principal line west
of the river from Avocourt by Hill
number 304 and Deadmans Hill 10
, Cumieres. Only frontal attacks under
difficulties were possible except at
Deadman's Hill. where the Germans
were able to attack through the ra-
vines. They tried to force a passag ge
between Deadman's Hill and Cumieres
and to work around the south of the
| hill In order to envelop it.
After two days of hard fighting this
maneuver failed and with it is be-
/ heved to have collapsed the main idea
/ of that particular German attack. The
small gain which the Germans made
northeast of the hill is not regarded as
/ OF nature to modify the situation.
