—t A Few Questions Answered. St. Paul, July 31.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—C. G. Schultz, assistant superintendent of public instruction, has rendered an opinion to the superintendent of schools at Water- town, Minn., covering several ques- tions which are frequently raised. Four points are made in the ruling, as follows: “1. A pupil who makes his home with relatives in a school district other than the one in which his parents live would be entitled to free tuition in its schools, if that is his home and he can show that he has no other. If, however, he is staying with them for the purpose only of attending school, and is not in fact making his home with them, soas to be a resident, the board could charge him tuition. *“2.A pupil working and supporting himself in a school district other than the one in which his parents live, would, I am disposed to think, be entitled to free tuition, if he is actually supporting himself and in fact making his home at the place where he is working. This, it seems tome, is a case where a school board ought to be liberal enough to give the boy the opportunity of free schooling. “3., A state graded school may charge tuition for non-resident pupils, though they take up studies which properly belong to the high school course. A high school cannot charge tuition to pupils who are eurolledin the high school department. “4, A county superintendent who |, furnishes his own team while visit- ing schools and on official business is not entitled to compensation for use of the team, under the ruling of Mr. Jelley of the attorney general’s department, in his opinion inter- preting the law.” AFTER POWDER TRUST Government Begins Suit to Dis- solve Existing Monopoly. RECEIVERS MAY BE NAMED Court Asked to Determine Whether Public Interests Would Not Be Bet- ter Subserved by Such Action—His- tory of the Comblination. ‘Washington, July 31.—The govern- ment hes flled {n the United States elrcuit court for the district of Dela- ware, at Wilmington, a petition against B. L Dupont, De Nemours & Co.,, the E. I. Dupont De Nemours Powder company (of New Jersey) and twenty-four other corporations and seventeen individuals connected with the corporations which are made de- tendants in the petition. The petition relates that all of the defendants are engaged In interstate trade and commerce in gunpowder eand other high explosives and are violating the act of July 2, 1890, com- monly known as the Sherman antl- trust act. It seeks to prevent and restraln the unlawful existing agree- ments, contracts, combinations and conspiracies In restraint of such trade and commerce, to prevent and restraln the attempts on the part of the de- fendants to monopolize such trade and to dissolve the existing monopoly therein. The court is asked to determine whether putlic interests will be bet- ter subserved by the appointment of recelvers to take possession of the property of the alleged trust with a view to bringing about condlitions in trade and commerce that will be in barmony with the law. The prayer in this respect s identical with that In the so-called tobacco trust petition. It {e stated in the petition that in 1872 all except three of the concerns selling high explosives in the United States organized with the object of regulating prices at which such eom- modities should be sold and of driving the other corporations out of business by unfair competitive methods. This assoclution enjoyed an uninterrupted operation, it is sald, until 1881, when & new agreement was entered into with the object of preventing new manufaoturers from engeging In the powder business. In the meantime the three “would be” competitors are declared to have been compelled to Join the monopoly. It is shown that there were succeeding assoofations in 1886, in 1891 and in 1896, each with the same general object and com- posed of the same members and their successors. The 18968 assoclation con- tinued until 1902 and during the whole period of time from 1872 until 1902 the members of the association, it is asgerted, by various unfalr business methods, forced substantlally all com- petitors out of the powder business until at the latter date they controlled 96 per cent of the business. History of the Combination. ' ‘The petition recites many of the operations of the so-called powder trust leading up to the organization in May, 1003, under the laws in the state of New Jersey of the E. I. Dupont De Nemours Powder company, with a oapital stock of $50,000,000, as a hold- ing company for the purpose of ac- quiring the capltal stocks of every Soorporation in the United States in ‘manutacturing and dealing in high ex- plogives. This New Jersey holding company, it is alleged, did acquire oontrol of the companies operating in high explosives In the United States until al~of the business of shipping and selling such commodities of sub- Mtagtially seventy companies, which Had from tlnie o tinie since 1872 been separate competing concerns, is now being carried on by three gigantic op- erating companies, namely, the East- ern Dynamite company, B. I. Dupont De Nemours Powder company of Del- aware and the Laflin & Rand Powder company. The' defendants, it is alleged, al- ready have a complete monopoly of the production and distribution of smokeless ordnance powder, in addi- tion to the monopoly of 95 per cent of the production and distribution of high explosives other than smokeless powder. The government asks, in its prayer for relief, that these operating com- panies be enjolned and restrained from operating and engaging in inter- state commerce in the United States or that receivers be appointed to take over their business. The government asks also that con- trol of certaln capital stocks In other companies by the various holding com- panies skall be adjudged unlawful and void and that the defendants shall be restrained from carrylng on alleged unfair competition against twenty-six independent firms which at the time of the filing of the petition were en- gaged in the manufacture, shipment and sale of blasting powder and dyna- mite in the United States in lawful competition with the defendants. Deny Connection With Crime. New York, July 31.—In a statement fssued through its executive commit- tee in America the Armenian revolu- tionary Hunchakist party disclaims all connection with the assassination of Tavshanjian. The statement declares that the men concerned in the assas- sination were expelled from the Hun- chakist party “for treachery and heinous crimes of blackmail” and that since their expulsion they have done much to “degrade the honored name of a great patriotic party.” SAME MAN SUSPECTED. Two New York Women Found 8tran- gled to Death. New York, July 31.—The bodies of two women with the marks of the strangle on their throats have been found here within the last twelve hours and the police believe that one man committed both crimes. Neither of the victims has been identified. One woman was found dead in am areaway on East Ninetieth street, The marks of a thumb and forefinger were visible on her throat and her face and neck were smeared with blood. She was about twenty-seven years of age. No one in the neighborhood heard sounds of a struggle. The body of the other woman, also the victim of a strangler, was found in a Twenty-second street boarding- house. The woman came to the house with a man who gave his name as Davis. Her body was found In the room the gouple had occupied. A neck- tle had been Kknotted tightly around her throat and she had been dead for several hours. The blood vessels in the neck were broken and the woman's clothing was drenched In blood. No trace of the man, who had the appear- ance of a foreigner, has been found. The dead woman was about twenty- four years of age. An examination of the bodies of the strangled victims disclosed the fact that both had been mutilated. This fact leads the police to belleve that both murders were committed by a person or persons possessed of an insane desire to mutilate their vie- tims. ARMENIAN PRIEST INDICTED Accused at New York of Attempted Robbery. New York, July 31.—Father Martoo- gesslan, the Armenian priest and for- mer leader of the Armenian revolu- tionary Hunchakist party, who was arrested as a result of a police inves- tigation following the murder of H. S. Tavshanjian, was indicted by the grand jury on a charge of attempted robbery In the second degree. His ball was fixed at $25,000. The murder of Tavshanjlan, who was reputed to be one of the wealth- fest Armenians in the country, was lald at the door of Armenian revolu- tlonists. It has been the theory of the police that he was killed after he had repeatedly refused to supply money to one of the revolutionary socleties. Following the arrest of Father Martoogessian and several other Armenians, however, the Hun- chakist party issued a formal state- ment declaring that the party is in no way involved in the affair and that the men suspected of killing Tavshan. Jlan long ago were expelled from the party because of their methods of ob taining money from fellow country: men. ENTIRE BAND WIPED OUT. Turkish Troops Attack Small Force of Greek Insurgents. Athens, July 81.—There has been a pltched battle between Turkish troops, supported by Bashi Bazouks, and a small band of Greek Insurgents who had entrenched themselves in a house in the outskirts of Seres, BEuropean Turkey, fifty miles northeast of Sa- loniki. The band was completely wiped out, but thirty men were killed before the soldlers, alded by artlllery, succeeded in capturing the miniature fortress. During the fighting the Bashi Bazouks plllaged- over 100 houses and burned a number of Greek buildings in Beres. LET MURDERER GET AWAY Two New York Policemen Charged - With Cowardice. New York, July 31.—Two policemen, Stephen Walsh and Tracy 8. Rossa, are on trial before Police Commis- sloner Bingham on charges of cow- ardice. The men, it is alleged, fol- lowed Frank H. Warner just after he killed Esther Norling in Forty-second street recently, but when he.fired a shot the pursuing officers are said to have flunked and allowed him to es- cape. The cases are attracting a good deal of public attention becausg while in the past there have been many and varled charges against New York po- licgmen this is the first time in forty years that the courage of any of the men has been questloned HELD T0 GRAND JURY Strike Leader on Iron Range Ar- rested at Hibbing, Minn. CHARGE NOT A SERIOUS ONE Taken Into Custody While Attempting to Enter Mining Property and, When Searched, Found to Be Carrying a Concealed Weapon. Hibbing, Minn, July 31.—Teofllo Petriella, the active leader of the strike, was placed under arrest here shortly after 9 a. m. on the charge ¢f carrying concealed weapons and was confined in the Hibbing jail. Petriella was released in $1,000 bail after being bound over for the action of the grand jury in September. Petriella and Mahoney, the acting president of the Western Federation of Miners, were driving in the federa- tion carrlage toward Chisholm. They were crossing the bridge which leads to the Sellers mine when the guard ordered them to stop. Instead of pull- ing in his horse Petriella whipped up and trled to pass. The guard fired sev- eral shots lato the air and Petriella was instantly surrounded by several deputies. He was arrested and when searched was found to have a revolver and 3900 in money on his person. He was held on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Mahoney offered to allow himself to be searched, but he carried no weapons. The men made no attempt to gather about the jall where Petriella was confined. Mahoney returned to Hib- bing after his companion had been ar- rested. Aside from Petriella’s arrest every- thing 1s quiet on the range. About the same mines are working as were being operated Monday with slightly larger crews. The men are gradually dropping into their old jobs. The Clark mine has sixty men in its day shift and the Chisholm mine forty. STEEL CORPORATION FIRM Not Likely to Grant Demands of Striking Dock Laborers. Duluth, July 31.—The evident weak- ening of the situation on the ranges Is likely to influence the officials of the United States Steel corporation to a firmer attitude in dealing with the local strike on the docks. It is be- lieved that a large majority of the men desire to return to work and that the company will give them that opportunity, without, however, grant- Ing their demands. A reply to the last communication of the dockmen will not be forthcoming before morn- ing. . Strikers Leave Two Harbors, Duluth, July 31.—Secretary Wright of the Two Harbors Ore Dock Work- ers’ union is in Duluth for a confer- ence with the Duluth strikers. He states that of the 600 strikers at Two Harbors 500 have left the village for the Western harvest fields and other points where they can find work. The condition at Superior is much the same, but few of the Duluth men have left the city. Work Again Discontinued. Buperlor, Wis., July 31.—Work has been discontinued.at the Allouez ore docks. The docks are making no ef- forts to get the men back and the latter are making To advances, the behests of the strike leaders being obeyed. It is llkely now that the me; will follow the lead of the Duluth dockmen. PETTIBONE STAYS IN JAIL Judge Wood Denies Motion to Admit Him to Bail. Boise, Ida., July 31.—Formal appli- cation was-made in the district court during the day to have George A. Pet- tibone admitted to bail. The motion was submitted without argument and was promptly denied by Judge Wood. Bond for Charles H. Moyer was sub- mitted and approved. It is signed by Timothy Reagan, president of the First Natlonal bank of Boise. The bond js guaranteed by $25,000 on de- posit by the Butte (Mont.) local of the Western Federation of Miners, 8quaw Suspected of Murder. Ashland, Wis,, July 31.—The body ot & Chippewa Indian, identified as Mrs. Charles Gooslin of the Red River reservation, was found on the North- western tracks near Ashland. She was seen with another squaw walk: ing along the tracks' the previous evening and as her companion is miss ing foul play is feared. The woods are belng searched for the missing ‘woman, Accldent on the Wilmington. ‘Washington, July 81.—A dispatch re- celved. at the navy department from Commander Boush of the gunboat Wil- mington, at Shanghai, says a boller tube of the vessel burst while the vessel was at Nanking. Three men were scalded, one of whom, Fireman Philip Hind, subsequently died. The other two were not seriously injured. American Ministers Drowned. New Haven, Conn., July 31.—Secre- tary Anson P. Stokes, Jr., of Yale uni- versity has received a cable from Kuling, China, stating that Rev. War- ren B. Seabury (Yale, 1900,) and Rev. Arthur 8. Mann (1899) have been drowned. The latter met his death in attempting to rescue Mr. Seabury. NEAR AN OPEN BREAK. Western Rallronds and the Postoffice Department. Chicago, July 31.—Western railroads are near an open break with the post- office department over the transporta- tion of the mails owing to a number of recent orders. The latest cause of grievance is the imposition of heavy fines on nearly all the roads for delay in delivering the malls. To consider the situation a number of railroad offi- lclal- held an important conference here. - 4 having One officlal declared that the fines levied by the government against his road in one quarter amounted to $40,- | 000. A similar condition on other roads was reported. The fines were assessed under a rule which went into effect in July, 1904. The ronds are amazed to find that they are in danger of losing 16 per cent of their mail pay unless they revise schedules and place thelr mail trains upon running time which they know they can malintain in all seasons and in all kinds of weather. The new rule, the roads claim, is oppressive and unjust. It provides that if the mails are late ten times on any route during a period of ninety days the roads shall be assessed 15 per cent of the pay of that route for the quarter. Under the speed stand- ards as now established, operating men declare, it would be a marvel for almost any of the big Western sys- tems to escape having their important mall trains late more than ten times in ninety days. The railroads insist thelr mall revenues are so serlously threatened that something must be done. DENIED BY HARRY THAW. Report That His Wife Proposed Re- turning to the Stage. New York, July 31.—The following slgned statement was made by Harry, K. Thaw at the Tombs to the Asso- ciated Press regarding the report that his wife proposed returning to the stage: “This story, llke many others, is absolutely false and has been started, 1 Dbelleve, for one of 0 reasoms, either to give a false impression of my wife's character and steadfastness with cowardly intent of injuring us all or simply to fill space.” Later Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw gave an authoritative statement to the Assoclated Press concerning her plans, declaring that she has no pres- ent intention of returning to the stage, but will devote her energies to the study of music. Mrs. Thaw vis- ited her husband in the Tombs, after which she made the statement. “No, I have not the slightest inten- tion of going back to the stage,” Mrs. Thaw said, “and I am quite sure that I don't know where such a report came from. I have started to take singing lessons at the suggestion of my physician, who says that I have |. some slight affection of the vocal chords. My health, ctherwise, is per- fect. No, I have never even dreamed of going on the stage. When I first went on the boards I had the idea I ‘was going to be Sarah Bernhardt the second. That idea soon fled after one or two rehearsals and now I would never think of going back to the stage. I am simply going to study music to strengthen my voice.” SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES Letters Telling of Alleged Suicide Written in Advance. Colorado Springs, Colo., July 31.—At the coroner’s inquest held over the remains of Miss Laura "Matthews, whose dead body was found lying in a lane near Broadmoeor with a bullet hole in her head, several sensational facts were developed. Miss Greene, the nurse who has been the dead woman’s companion while in Colorado Springs, admitted written several letters to friends of Miss Matthews in Chicago and elsewhere stating that Laura had taken her life. It developed that these letters were written before she had been informed of the finding of Miss Matthews’ body. She explained this by saying that she had antici- pated such an event. Miss Green also testified that sev- eral days aso she and Miss Matthews had visited a local mortuary and Miss Matthews had selected a casket and remarked: “This is the kind of a casket I wish to be buried in.” The witness declared positively that Miss Matthews was not in a delicate condition.

The father then went down in an attempt at rescue and both drowned. Cornerstone of Palace of Peace.

An amendment proposed by the friends of Taft and opposed by the friends of Foraker was adopted by a vote of 11 to 10 saying in effect that there is no intention to eliminate Sen- ators Foraker or Dick from politics in Ohio. The resolution endorsing Taft for president was as follows: “We believe that the great majority of the people of Ohio, convinced of the high character, great ability and distinguished services of Secretary Taft, endorse his candidacy for the presidency; and, further, “We declare that the Republicans of Ohio overwhelmingly desire that the name of Hon. Willlam Howard Taft be presented to the nation as Ohio’s can- didate for president and that the Re- publicans of other states are invited to cooperate with the Republicans of Ohio to secure his nomination in 1908.” The amendment to the resolution was offered at once. It is to the effect that it is not the intention to elim- inate either Senator Foraker or Sen- ator Dick from politics in Ohlo. This was offered by the Taft people and was bitterly opposed by the Fotaker element. The amendment was adopt- ed by a vote of 11 tq 10 and the reso- lution was then adopted with the i amendment by a vote of 15 to 6. BELIEVED TO BE INSANE. | Young Man Who Shot His Two Sis- ters and Two Brothers. Versailles, France, July 31—M. Hirsch, the examining-magistrate be- | fore whom the Huntington case has been brought, has decided that Henry Huntington, who on Sunday night shot and wounded two sisters and two brothers at the bedside of his dying father, should be examined as to his sanity. M. Hirsch told the Associated Press that the prisoner, who at times was strangely agitated, told such conflict- ing storles that he was convinced he was suffering from neurasthenia and furthermore the magistrate considers that Henry Huntington’s wife is sim- ilarly affected. Mrs. Huntington ad- mitted that her husband had twice been under treatment for mervous dis. orders, VERDICT OF CORONER’S JURY | Soldier With Manslaughter, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich,, July 81— The verdict of a coroner’s jury in the case of Miss Elizabeth Cadenhead of Fergus, Ont., who was shot and killed by Private Cyrus Gillette, who was alming at a deserter, ocharges him with involuntary manslaughter. A warrant was issued by Prosecuting Attorney Holden and a demand will be made on officers at Fort Brady for the man, which probably will be refused. Hol- den says he will exhaust every re- source to get Gillette if he has to take the case to the secretary of war and the supreme court. He claims that court decisions, which say civil authorities cannot try Gillette, do not apply to this case. NO LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS Bad Break In Erle Canal at Syra- cuse, N. Y. Syracuse, N.

At home stations the private soldiers’ washing is usually done by the mar- | rled soldiers’ wives, who are expect- ed to sew on missing buttons and do repalrs, for which a small sum is de- ducted from the private’s pay. Pat McGinnls had a good deal of trouble with his laundress. Sunday after Sunddy had his shirt come back with the neck button off or else hang- ing by a thread. He had spoken to her on the subject, and she had promised to see to it, but still the button was not on properly. He got out of patience one Sunday ‘when the missing button had made him late for parade and exclaimed: “Bother the woman! Tl see if I can't give her a hint this time, any- how.” He then took the lid of a tin black- ing box about three inches in diame- ter, drilled two holes in it with a fork and sewed it on to the meck of the shirt that was next to be washed. ‘When his washing came back he found she had taken the hint. She had made a buttonhole to fit it!—Lon- don Answers. Men and Their Autographs. An experienced autograph collector can almost tell to what profession a man belongs by the grudgingness or otherwise of his response. Agtors and vocalists never demur. They rather seem to like it. Poets and authors of fiction accede, but with a certain cold dignity; metaphysicians and philoso- phers either refuse altogether or com- ply with a bad grace; dramatists not only send their autographs, but a quo- tation from thelr works as well; peers slgn, but with a stiff and formal hau- teur; judges and barristers sign in such a way that it is not possible to squeeze an I. O. U. over the name. In fact, every class has—of course, with excep- tions—its own way of dealing with the lmportunity of the autograph fiend.—H. L Jennings in Connolsseur. Social Life Long Ago. The stately dames of the court of Edward TV, rose with the lark, dined at 11 a. m. and retired to rest at 8 in the evening. Henry VIIL went back to 10 in the morning for dinner and had supper at 4. In Queen Bess’ days her malds of honor began the day with a round of beef or red herring and a flagon of ale for breakfast at about 8:30 and dined at 11, and then went to the playhouse in the afterne- mnot later than 2, sometimes as early. as 12:30, according to the order of the play and the day. Two Phases of the Case. “How long is it golng to take to get through with this case?” asked the cli- ent, who was under suspicion of house- breaking. “Well,” replied the young lawyer thoughtfully, “it'll take me about two weeks to get through with it, but I'm afraid It's going to take you about four years.” But She Did Tell. Ella—Bella told me that you told her that secret I told you not to tell her. Stella—She’s 2 mean thing. I told her not to tell you I told her.
