ON A PAYING BASIS Receipts of Postoffice Department Exceed Expenditures. 1S FIRST TIME ON RECORD Excess of Earnings for the Last Quar- ter Over $1,800,000, Which Is Said to Be the Best Showing Ever Made by the Department. ‘Washington, May 21.—For the first time in the history of the postal serv- ice the receipts for a quarter have ex- ceeded the expenditures. This is credited to the prosperous financial conditivn nciy prevailing. The total receipts of the department for the last quarter exceeded the ex- penditures by $1,800,815.35, which is said by officials to be the best showing yet made by the department. The ex- cess of receipts over expenditures for the corresponding period of the previ- ous year was only $309,704.68. War- rants in favor of the treasurer of the United States and the nine assistant treasurers of the United States and designated national banks who receive and handle all funds deposited on ac- count of the service of the postoffice department have been countersigned by the postmaster general and the amount, $22,3569,120.39, covered into the treasury. The largest warrant was in favor of the assistant treasurer of New York, who received $6,933,815.35, the largest amount ever deposited with an assist- ant treasurer during a quarter for the services of the depdrtmenl AGAINST FERTILIZER TRUST Government Decides to Renew Itg Prosecution. Washington, May 21.—The_govern- ment has decided to renew the cases against the so-called fertilizer trust before the United States district court &t Richmond, Va. About a year ago the government secured the Indict- ment and arrest of a large number of persons residing in different parts of the country on a charge of violating the Sherman antf-trust law and sought to secure the removal to Nashville, where suit was begun, of such defend- ants as resided outside of the state of Tennessee. . The Virginia defendants, however, contended that before they could be removed from the state they should be given a preliminary hearing to determine the sufficiency of the evidence upon which their removal was asked. The court sustalned the government on this point, but on an appeal being taken the United States supreme court, about two months ago, found against the government, but without prejudice to its case, and or- dered that the defendants be dis- charged. The department of justice has now decided to try the individual defendants in the states in which they reside and will almost immediately proceed to secure the indictment and rearrest of the Virginia parties to the alleged combination. Other indict- ments and arrests will, it is said, be made in Tennessee and other states. It is sald that there are thirty-one fer- tilizer companies in the alleged com- binatlon and that originally twenty- four individuals were indicted and ar- rested. Five Thousand Itallans Strike. New Haven, Conn., May 21.—Nearly 6,000 Italian trackmen employed by the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company on all divisions of the road went on strike during the . day as the result of the road’s refus- ing their demand for a 10 per cent in- crease over their present wages of $1.50 a day. It is said that the strike will extend from New York to Boston. Pat Crowe Placed on Trial. Council Bluffs, Ta, May 21.—Pat Crowe has been placed on trial here on a charge of holdiag up and rob- bing two street cars on the night of July 4, 1905. Crowe, together with another man, was indicted while he was on trial in Omaka for the kidnap- plog of Eddie Cudahy. Crowe has »londod not gullty to the lndlctment NO POLITICS IN TRIP. Secretary Taft Further Perfects De- tails of Western ‘Tour. ‘Washington, May 21.—Secretary Taft has further perfected some of the details of his approaching Western trip. It is stated that his purpose in going into Scouth Dakota is almost solely to acquaint himself with the present condition and possibilities of the mililary reservation at Fort Meade, for the development of which it s probable he will find it necessary to submit to congress at the next ses- sion some recommendations. The sec- retary’s visit to Minnesota for the pur- pose of addressing the state university will afford him the opportunity to also visit South Dakota. He will touch at Sioux Falls on the way to Fort Meade, arriving at the former town early on June 15 and leaving there the same day. No political purpose is attached to this step and although it is expected that the secretary will de- liver a short speech tc the citizens of Sioux Falls he will not talk about poli- tles on that occasion nmor will he in any way allude to the issues that have arisen between the party leaders in South Dakota, of the merits of which he has not been sufficiently informed to base an opinion. The secretary will then proceed to Fort Meade, where he has invited to meet him Governor Crawford, Senator Gamble and Senator Kittredge, but does not know whether they will do so. The secretary will stop at Fort Meade until the evening of the 16th, when he de- parts for Fort L RADICALS NOT PRESENT. Duma Congratulates Czar on His Es- cape From Assassination. St. Petersburg, May 21.—At the day’s session of the lower house of parliament, from which all the radical representatives were conspicuously absent, Premier Stolypin made a for- mal announcement of the discovery of 2 plot to kill the emperor, Grand Duke Nicholas and himself, and a resolution expressing the great joy of the ‘house at his majesty’s escape from the dan- ger and the deepest indignation against the criminal conspiracy so for- tunately frustrated was unanimously adopted. The Social Demoecrats, Social Revo- lutionists, part of the Group of Toil and others were absent from the house when the resolution was presented and adopted. In the course of his remarks the premier said that the accounts of the plot as published in certain foreign newspapers were extremely exagger- ated. The persons arrested in con- nection with the conspiracy would be prosecuted without delay. Some of the conspirators had tried to enter the imperial palace where his majesty was residing, but the attempts had failed. DEMAND HIGHER WAGES. Strike of Freight Handlers at the Buf- falo Docks. Buffalo, N. Y., May 21.—Nearly 2, 000 freight handlers on the docks quit work during the day, demanding an increase of wages from 17% to 20 cents an hour. The freighthouse of the New York Central was the prin- cipal one affected. It is said that the strike affects all the transportation companies having freighthouses along the docks and that the strike was in the nature of a surprise Lo many of the leading offi- cials of the freighthouses. [t has been known for some time that the men were dissatisfied, but it is sald that there was a general belief that all difficulties had been smoothed out and that there would be no strike. The strikers are what are known as “ingide men” and are mostly Italians. They are said to be well organized. MANUFACTURERS MEET. Convention in Session at New York. New York, May 21.—Whether or not they favor a revision of the tariff, to what extent and in what manner, is expected to be announced by the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers, which convened at the Waldorf-As- toria hotel during the day. The ques- tion will come up in a report of the tariff committee of the association, which has taken a poll of the 3,000 members on the questions of revision. The speakers at the convention will include Charles A. Prouty of the inter- state commerce commission, who will discuss roilroad legislation; Oscar 8. Straus, secretary of commerce and labor, and Dr. Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor. CONTINUES THE CHIEF TOPIC Bitter Feeling Among Presbyterians on Temperance Question. Columbus, O., May 21.—The temper- ance question continues to be the chief topic of discussion among the 1,000 commissioners of the Presby- terian general assembly and the out- come of the fight is still a matter of speculation. ‘A sensation was created as the commissioners were gathering for the session by the authoritative announcement that Dr. Henry E. Dos- ker, chairman of the standing com- mittee on temperance, will return the overture on temperance referred to his committee Saturday by the committee on bills and overtures. The overture in question condemns the organiza- tion of the church federation of tem- perance and recommended that the church give hearty support to the Anti-Saloon league. Dr. Dosker an- nounces that it is the business of the overture committee to handle this tem- perance overture and he turned the overture back to this committee. The action of Dr. Dosker is being eriticised by many of the commissioners and the feeling on the temperance ques- tion seems to be becoming rather bit- ter among some of the commissioners. The whole question is scheduled to come up next Friday. National La Follette After Bear. Glenwood Springs, Colo., May 21.— Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wis- consin has started on a bear hunt in the Muddy district with Jake Borah as guide. The Muddy is the famous bear country into which Borah intend- ed to take President Roosevelt two years ago, but at that time the snowy was too deep and the bears were still in their winter sleep. The senator will hunt about ten days. UENOUNCED BY COURT Methods of Furniture Trust De- clared Disreputable. JUDGE LANDIS IMPOSES FINES Says Punishment Fixed by Law lIs In- adequate and Asserts That Working as a Laborer Would Be a More Dig- nified Way of Earning a Living. Chicago, May 21.—Judge Landis has fined F. A. Holbrook, the American Seating company and the A. H. An- drews company $5,000 each and nine other furniture companies amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000, for viola- tion of the anti-trust laws in forming a conspiracy in restraint of trade. The defendants pleaded guilty. Judge Landis preceded the delivery of seutence by a scathing denunciation of the methods adopted by the church and school furniture trust, declaring that the punishment fixed by law is fnadequate to fit the crime. The com- parative poverty of the smaller firms furnished the court’s reasbn for mot fining them the maximum. Holbrook acted as a sort of clearing- house for the combine, which called itself the Prudential club, Judge Lan- dis said. Holbrook apportioned the contracts and by means of dummy bids members of the combine avoided competition. “When I reflect upon the methods resorted to I wonder why men engage in such & business to get money. It was done ‘to get business.’ ~Most any man, I would think, would prefer-to work in a ditch at $1.50 a day. That is unquestionably a more dignified method. “As for the smaller concerns it be- comes my duty to avoid closing up such concerns and it seems that se- vere punishment would force some of them into bankruptey. To keep them in independent operation is the only hope the consumers have against the big concerns. If we were to put them out of business the Andrews and Amer- ican Seating companies would have no difficulty in taking full control. SCHMITZ CASE CONTINUED Goes Over a Day by Request of the Prosecution. San Francisco, May 21.—Mayor Schmitz appeared for trial during the day in- Judge Dunne’s court on five grand jury charges of extortion from local keepers of French restaurants. By request of the prosecution the hearing was delayed one day in order that counter affidavits may be pre- pared against Schmitz’ motion for a change of trial judge. Assistant District Attorney Heney created a surprise by announcing that the state has no present intention of asking the court to take the mayor into custody pending his trial. Schmitz 1s at liberty under bonds aggregating $50,000. The mayor, accompanied by his counsel, took a seat between the coun- sel table and the table reserved for the newspaper men. He looked pale and glum. Rudolph Spreckels, Elisor Biggy and Special Agent Burns took seats near the counsel table. The room was crowded, even the aisle spaces being filled. Before taking up the Schmitz hear- ing Judge Dunne continued by consent for thirty days ‘the case of perjury against Chief of Police Dinan and the cases of conspiracy -against Dinan and Abraham Ruef. JURY FAR FROM COMPLETE Another Special Venire May Be Nec- ~ essary in Haywood Case. Boise, 1da., May 21.—The number of talesmen to fill the constantly occur- ring vacancies in the jury that is be- ing formed to try Willlam D. Hay- wood for the alleged murder of Frank Steunenberg continues to shrink and it now seems certain that another spe- clal venire of fitty or 100 talesmen must be issued shortly. There was a scant attendance of spectators when the trial was resumed and the court took up the work of fill- ing the vacancy created by the ninth peremptory challenge. The Haywood family was absent. A number of wit- nesses, including Bulkeley Wells of Colorado, were in the courtroom. The prisoner sat close to his counsel and frequently consulted with them as to the talesmen under examination. HAD REFUSED T0 ;RESIGN Mayor Buesse Removes Eight M mbers of Chicago School Board. Chicago, May 21.—Mayor Busse has formally removed eight members of the school board who had refused to resign as requested. The mayor re- cently requested the resignations of twelve members of the board, but only four of them responded. Mr. Busse'’s action is sald ‘to be for the purpose of assuring the retention of E. G. Cooley as superintendent of schools. Government Must Finish Vessel. ‘Washington, May 21.—The navy de- partment has received formal notice from the Union iron works at San Francisco of their inability, owing to labor troubles, to successfully execute the contract they had entered into for the bullding of the armored cruiser California. The government is noti- fied that it must complete the ship nnder the conditions laid down by the sontract. . GENERAL KUROKI AT _YALE Visits Institution in Which Many Japs Were Educated. New Haven, Conn., May 21.—The visit of General Kuroki to.Yale uni- versity was«brought about by the de- sire of the distinguished soldier to see the institution in which many Japa- nese officers received a portion of their education in the higher branches. Many of these officers served with distinction at Port Arthur and in the battles on Manchurian sofl and sey- eral of the officers holdlng high rank B e e nu.fl uelr preparatory school education in Mark. Pitman’s school at Walling- ford, at the time one ‘of the famous schools of this section. In the home of a Yale professor also lived for a time prior to her entering Vassar-col- lege the young woman who is now the wife of Field Marshal Oyama. General Kurokl and party reached this city at 11°o’clock from New York and the party included Brigadier Gen- eral Oliver Wellsworth Wood, U. S. A, retired, and Major Charles Lynch of the general staff. The party took carriages at the rail road station and drove at once to the green, then visited various depart- ments of the college and then were driven to East Rock park, from which the entire city was seen. At Wood- bridge hall the party was officially re- ceived by President Hadley of the uni- versity and here also the Japanese students, twenty in number, were as- sembled and presented an address through their spokesman, Dr. Saiki, a graduate student in the Sheffield sci- entific school. A lunch was served the party at the Graduates’ club. There were present Secretary of State Elihu Root, Governor Woodruff, Mayor Studley, President Charles S. Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, President Hadley and a number of the professors and the faculty men of the university, be- sides a number of f citizens. SAW SOLDIERS SHOOTING. Bmownsville Policeman Before Senate Committee. ‘Washington, May 21. — Another Brownsville policeman who claims to have seen many of the incidents con- nected with the affray in the Texas town on the night of Aug. 13 was on the stand before the senate committee on military affairs. He was Macedonio Ramirez, who was on special duty. He testified that he saw the negro soldiers shooting at Lieutenant Do- minguez and also that he himself had & narrow escape. While running from the soldiers he claims his hat was shot off his head and the hat is in evidence, showing that it had been perforated by a bullet of some kind. Ramirez said when soldiers ran out of the alley and began firing at Domin- guez he heard one of them say: “There goes one. Is it a soldier? If not give him hell.” Inasmuch as all questions had to be put to Ramirez through an interpreter and his answers translated from Spanish this distinct recollec- tion of a remark which must have been made in English caused some surprise among members of the com- mittee. Senator Overman immediately put the witness to a test by repeating the remark in English and asking the witness to do the same. Ramirez did so, after a fashion, and explained through the interpreter that he could understand English fairly well but had difficulty in carrying on a conver- sation. HUMMEL GOES TO PRISON Eawyer Proceeds to Penitentiary Without a Guard. New York, May 21.—Abraham H. ‘Hummel, who for nearly a third of 'a century was one of the most widely known and successful criminal law- yers in this city, during the day began the service of a one-year sentence in the Blackwell island penitentiary for conspiracy in the-Dodge-Morse divorce litigation. Hummel * started for the penitentiary from his home in East Seventy-third street in an automobile and without a guard. He had been at liberty on bail and had given his promise that he would go voluntarily to the prison. A big crowd gathered in front of the Hummel residence when the little lawyer dashed out of a basement door, holding a large hand- kerchief in front of his face. He ran to the curb, jumped into the closed automobile and a moment later was whirled away mward the prison WOULD OUST BURNHAM. Directors of Llfe Insurance Company Ask His Resignation. New York, May 21.—The Herald says that Frederick A. Burnham, pres- ident of the Mutual Life Reserve In- surance company, has been asked by the board of directors of the company to present his resignation not later than Wednesday of this week. In the event of his failure to resign steps will be taken to declare his office vacant and also to elect Archibald C. Haynes to his place. Action looking to Mr. Burnham’s resignation is said to be a result of his indictment and the conviction of his brother, George P. Burnham, of fraud and forgery in connection with the company. The directors said his continuance at the head of the com- pany was an injury to its business and an endorsement of the methods which led to the indictments. BOMB IN POLICE STATION. Superintendent and Two Detectives Killed at Odessa. Odessa, May 21.—The superintend- ent of police of Odessa and the two chief detectives of this city were killed and ‘seven other persons were seri- ously injured by the explosion of an infernal machine in the Central police bureau. The machine was deposited in the bureau just before it exploded by two men and a girl. The police pursued, wounded and captured the men, but the girl escaped The leader of the trio turned out to be a terrorist named Tchertkoff, The two detectives kllled were bit- terly hated by the terrorists, one of them for participation in inciting the outbreak of 1905 here and the other, who- was nicknamed “the hangman,” because he had tortured political pris- oners. KAISER APPROVES LEAGUF German Labor Unions Organize to Combat Socialism. Hamburg, May 21.—The Fatherland Labor league, consisting of thirty- seven labor unions from all parts of the empire, has been organized here for the purpose of ‘“combatting the errors of Social Democracy and its terrorism in business and politics.” Telegrams expressing warm sym- pathy with the objects of the league were received from Emperor Willlam and the imperial chancellor, Prince von Buelow. E POWER OF OIL TRUST Control of Trdnsfiortation Is Is Most Powerful Weapon. STRANGLES ALL COMPETITION 8cathing Report of Herbert Knox 8mith, Commissioner of Corpora- tions, to President Roosevelt on the American Petroleum Industry. ‘Washington, May 21.—The position of the Standard Oil company in the Detroleum industry is the subject of a report just submitted to the president by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations. Commissioner Smith sums up the result of his investiga- tions as follows: “The history and present operation of these Standard interests shows throughout the past thirty-five years a substantial monopolization of the petroleum industry of the country, a deliberate destruction of competition and a consequent control of that in- dustry by less than a dozen men, who have reaped enormous profits there- from. “The commercial efficiency of the Standard, while very great, has been direcfed at crippling existing rivals and preventing the rise of new ones by securing for itself most unfair dis- criminations in transportation facili- ties and rates.” It is stated that in 1904 the Stand- ard and affiliated concerns “refined over 84 per cent of the crude oil run through refineries; produced more than 86 per cent of the country’s total output of illuminating oil; maintained a similar proportion of the export trade in illuminating oil and trans- ported through pipe lines nearly nine- tenths of the crude oil of the older flelds and 98 per-cent of the crude oil of the midcontinent fields.” The report says that the monopoly enjoyed by the company does not rest on the ownership of the source of the ofl supply, which amounts to about one-sixth of the total, but “that its growth and present power rest pri- marily on the control of the transpor- tation facilities.” USURER SENT TO JAIL. Charged Seven and a Half Per Cent a Month on Loan. Kansas City, May 21—Patrick J. Hughes, a money lender who formerly had branch offices in a dozen of the principal cities of the country, must pay a fine of $100 and serve thirty days in the county jail for exacting usurious interest from J. H. William- son, a printer. Hughes was convicted in January, 1906, of collecting 7% per cent a month for several months on a loan of $10. He appealed and the court of appeals, all the judges concurring, decided against him on every point. Hughes’ appeal was made on technical grounds. Legal Action Against Strikers. Montreal, May 21.—The shipping federation has started on a new tack to break up the shipping strike since the strikers refuse to compromise and have, on the strength of an old and most obsolete city statute, sworn out forty warrants against strike leaders on the charge of breach of contract. Twenty-six Persons Injured.
