PRESIDENT MAY u
PARDON THE ALTON
IF JUDGE LANDIS IGNORES IMMU
NITY PROMISE ROOSEVELT
WILL ACT.
JUDGE WANES TO HOLD CEUB
FEARS THAT IF CASE IS SENT
BACK OFFICIALS WILL FOR
GET REBATE FACTS.
Washington. Sept. 6.—In the event
that Judge Landis of Chicago Ignores
the Immunity promise made by the ad
ministration to the Chicago & Alton
railroad and its officials for giving re
bnuo to the Standard Oil company,
President Roosevelt will issue a par
don before trial.
This information came direct from a
government official who is in a posi
tion to know. Many precedents are
found for such action. The adminis
tration entered into a fair and square
deal with the Alton officials to give
them and their road immunity in case
they would turn state's evidence
against the Standard Oil.
Stand by Agreement.
The railroad officials did so. so the
department of justice holds, and the
administration proposes to s'and by
its agreement.
Judge Landis' a.-ntr- r.t determina
tion to ignore t'-e immunity plea has
enraged the oti cials at the department
of justice and they have fully decided
that the government shall take no part
in the investigation before the grand
jury if Judge Landis orders one.
District Attorney Sims must eitlwr
follow instructions and dismiss the
case against the Alton or lose his
scalp.
Landis in Critical Mood.
The position taken by Judge Landis
has been disclosed to the government.
In effect the judge believes that the
department of justice is entirely too
hasty in granting immunity. There is
a bare possibility, be figures, of the
higher court upsetting the judgment
by which he fined the Standard Oil
company $29,400,000 for receiving re
bates from the Alton.
If this,case should be reversed and
sPnt back for trial the judge wants *
club over the Alton officials to make
them testify again. j#
If immunity is now granted lhenv
and the Standard ease should be sent
back for another trial the Alton offi
cials might suffer a lapse of memory
and ..forget the .most vital parts -of
their testimony which caused convib* 1
tion at the first hearing.
SITUATION GROWS WORSE. f
France Now Thoroughly Alarmed at
Continued Resistance of Moors.
Paris, Sept. 6.—The news of Mon
day's sanguinary engagement near
Casablanca has shocked as well as dis
turbed the public. The Moroccan situ
ation is steadily growing worse, and
although France is constantly victori
ous the dogged fanatical resistance of
the Moors, who appear to be mobiliz
ing in large numbers, may necessitate
a distinct enlargement of the allied
forces in order to bring the fighting to
an end. The fierce assaults of the en
emy are believed to be due to France's
failure to annihilate the Moors during
the last stages of the expedition, a re-*
suit which France was unable to ac-.
coir:,-,lish on account of the restric
tions imposed on her by the Algeciras
conference.
LIGHTNING FATAL TO SEVEN.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.—Capt. Helm,
United States navy, who has just re
turned front the'Asiatic station, where
he commanded the cruiser Galveston,
says that the report from Honolulu
that there recently was an incipient

harbor, was entirely without founda
tion.
Great Storm in Georgia.

cal flashes, passed over Fort Gaines,

PROBABLE CAR SHORTAGE
TO BE LOOKED INTO.
Washington, Sept. 5. — An inquiry
into the railroads of the West is to be

ASSASSIN HELPS REBELS.
Tazzi Brothers, Who Dominate Sultan,
Are Murdered at Fez.
Casablanca, Sept. 5. — Letters re
ccit ed here from Fez declare that tha
Tazzi brothers—Abdelkrum Ben Sli
man. the Moroccan foreign minister,
and Ganam, the sultan's second repre
sentative at Tanger—have been assas
sinated by partisans of the caid of
Meehuar, the official who introduces
ambassadors to the court of the sul
tan.
The Tazzi brothers exercised almost
complete domination over the sultan,
and to them is attributed the ruin of
the empire.
It is alleged that they sought only
their personal aggrandizement. Their
fortune is counted by millions, and is
said to be sufficient to pay the entire
debt of Morocco.
Violence Before Sultan.
Some time ago the caid of Meehuar
was on the point of killing the Tazzi
brothers in the presence of the sultan.
The name of the caid is Driss Ben
Aich and he is the descendant of the
Bujaris, one of the four tribes which
founded the Moroccan monarchy.
ALTON CASE IS POSTPONED.
Judge Landis Grants Stay at Request
of Government.
Chicago, Sept. 5—Judge Landis, in
the United States district eourt, yes
terday ordered the postponement of
the grand jury investigation of rebat
'inp charges against the Chicago & Al
ton road growing out of the recent
trial and conviction of the Standard
Oil company, until Sept. 24.
It was generally believed when court
opened Tuesday that a letter would be
presented from Attorney General Bon
aparte defining the action intended by
the government against the Alton
road. The railroad company has made
a claim of immunity, asserting that it
was promised by Former District At
torney Morrison that if it aided the
government in good faith in the prose
cution of the Standard Oil company
it would be exempt. No such letter,
however, was presented in court,
either by Judge Landis or by District
Attorney Sims, the successor of Dis
trict Attorney Morrison.
When the court opened yesterday,
District Attorney Sims said in part:
"A situation has arisen which, in
my judgment, makes it highly desir
able that I have time to submit to the
department certain facts and circum
stances in addition to those already
submitted.
"For these reasons I request that
further action in the matter be post
poned for three or four weeks."
Judge Landis then postponed the
case until Sept. 24.
GEN. PORTER WINS HIS POINT.
ProposaTsTor Collection of Contractual
Debts Approved.
The Hague, Sept. 5. — Gen. Horace
Porter of the American delegation to
the peace conference led his proposal
for the collection of contractual debts
to practically unanimous approval yes
terday by the committee of examina
tion, and at the conclusion of the
meeting he was the recipient of many
congratulations upon the success of
his efforts. The importance of this
American suggestion, it is pointed out,
lies in the principle which it estab
lishes rather than in its practical ap
plication, which may be very seldom.
Gen. Porter met all the objections
raised with ready argument and final
ly brought all the countries represent
ed, debtor as well as creditor coun
tries, into line, with the single excep
tion of Switzerland, which is neither
a debtor nor a creditor country. There
is reason to believe, however, that
even the Swiss government will sign
the convention, with reserve regarding
the matter pf jurisdiction.
Steamer Sunk in Collision.
Gallipolis, Ohio, Sept. 5.—The pas
senger steamer Henry M. Stanley
crashed into the United States dredge
boat Oswego at Gallipolis island, in
the Ohio river here, last night and

tract for its erection has been awarded

STATE IAWS KILL
INTERSTATE RATES
CONTENTION OF RAILROADS IN
FIERCE ATTACK ON 2-CENT
DENIES POWER TO FIX RATES
ATTORNEY ARGUES THAT STATE
RATES IN EFFECT RULE IN
TERSTATE RATES.
St. Paul. Sept. 6.—That the making
of intrastate rates in practice makes
interstate rates was the burden of the
arguments yesterday beiiete Judge
Lochren, in the United States circuit
court, In the Minnesota railroad are
cases. The suits are brought by stock
holders of the railroads doing busi
ness in Minnesota, to restrain the en
forcement of the 2-cent passenger fare
law and the commodity rate law pass
ed by the last legislature, and the mer
chandise rate schedule ordered by the
state railroad and warehouse commis
sion.
The contention of the stockholders
is that since state rates in practice
control intrastate rates, the state is
exceeding its authority in ' making
rates, since the regulation of inter
state commerce is not a state but a na
tional function.
Railroads' Contention.
The contention of the complaints is
that the prescribed rates interfere
with interstate laws, are confiscatory
and in practice entail unlawful dis
crimination.
Pierce Butler of How, Butler &
Mitchell, who represent the complain
ants in eight of the ten or more suits,
oeeui ied the attention of the court
yesterday with a consideration of the
effect of the prescribed rates upon in
terstate rates as well as upon the
property of the roads. Affidavits in
support of the contentions of the bills
were submitted and discussed by Mr.
Butler. The affidavits were offered to
show that the effect of the prescribed
local rates was to destroy interstate
rates and that their enforcement in
many cases would make dividends im
possible and in some cases would re
sult in forcing the reads into a re
ceiver's hanfls.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
—Boy Tortured by Poison Oak—
Beth Cured by Cuticura.
"Last year, after having my llttls
girl treated by a very prominent pby
iician for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pdeased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physician's prescrip
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and-Cu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six w-eeks we, had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
"our hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and ia
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

Sang at Her Work.
A well known clergyman relate*
that while cn a recent visit to Shrop
shire he was in a small town whera
owing to the scarcity of good servants
most of the ladies preferred to do their
iwn work.
He w T as awakened quite early by tha
tones of a clear soprano voice singing
"Nearer. My God. to Thee." As tha
clergyman lay in bed he meditated
upon the piety his hostess must pos
sess which enabled her to go about
her tasks early in the morning sing
ing such a noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about
it and told her how r pleased he was.
"Oh lawi" she replied, "that's tha
hymn I boil eggs by;three verses for
soft end five for hard."
FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.
When a person has to keep the feat
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of tha
heat and prickly sensation, it is tima
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con
ditions that coffee will produce. It
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this casa
the lady lived in S. Dak. She says:
"I have had to lie awake half tha
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coldest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for yeara
with twitching and jerking of tha
lower limbs, and for most of the tima
I have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that I must keep on the move.
• "When it was brought to my atten
tion that coffee caused so many ner
vous diseases, I concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my trouble w r as caused by coffee
drinking.
"I only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now I have no more
of the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound, peace
ful rest.
"Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me."

health classic, "The Road to Well
