CONSPIRACY IS ALLEGED Chicago Stockholder Asserts That the Rockefeller Concern and Certain In- dividuals Combined to Wreok the Corn Products Company. Chlcago, Oct. 21.—George F. Hard- ing of this city has filed a bill in the superior court asking for the appoint- ment at a recelver for the Standard Oll company of New Jersey and the Corn Products company of New Jer- sey. Mr. Harding in his bill says that he is the owner of 500 shares of the capltal stock of the Corn Products company and that its management is practically controlled by ti% Standard 01l company. Charges are made that the Stand- ard Oil company, with certain individ- uals, conspired to wreck the Corn Products company, capitalized at $80,- 000,000, and for this purpose formed a pool or trust, unlawfully regulating and fixing and controlling the price of glucose, grape sugar and corn starch. Harding charges that thirty-eight fac- tories were joined in this pool by the so-called conspirators. The suit is similar to one filed In the circuit court May 4 by the Chicago Real Estate Loan and Trust company, ‘which suit is now pending in the Unit- ed States circuit court, to which it was transferred by the defendants. FIGHT ON FOOD TRUST. Amended Bill Filed in Federal Court at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Oct. 21.—Attorney Ander- son has filed with the clerk of the United States circuit court an amend- ed bill in equity in the fight being waged here against the high price of foodstuffs and the alleged discrimina- tlon against certain dealers by the various produce associations through- out the country. The new bill is much larger in its scope than that filed recently by W. H. Arbour against the Pittsburg Pro- duce association. By the new bill all the persons who were formerly men- tioned as having been placed on the alleged blacklist of the trade assocla- tion have been made complainants in the case and many of the largest fruit growers of the country, together with all the raflroads leading into Pitts- burg, are defendants. The concerns named in the bill as defendants are the Erie Grape Grow- ers’ assoclation, National Produce Dis- tributing company, California Fruit Growers’ Exchange, the International Apple Shippers’ association, the El- gin board of trade and John Fite, their Pittsburg agent. ~ In the latter part of the bill there are several pages which contain pho- tographic copies of the advertise- ments of some of the defendants named, in which the clalm is made that they “own or control” the entire output of a certain class of products. An answer to the amended bill will be required in thirty days, when argu- ments will be allowed. DANCING IS DENOUNCED. Card Playing and Theater Going Also Condemned. Milwaukee, Oct. 21.—The Evangel- foal General alliance has adopted res- olutions denouncing dancing, theater going, card playing and all efforts to raise money by questionable methods. Thoughtless, prayerless marriages were lamented. Ministers were re- quired to refuse to officlate at mar- rlages when one of the parties has been divorced on other than scriptural grounds. The government was petitioned to rule against Sunday desecration in the army and navy and against all unnec- essary labor in the postal department. The use of tobacco and liquor was de- olared injurious and the membership of the church called upon to abstain from it. The report of the committee on ways and means, recommending in- creased salaries for ministers and pre- slding elders, was adopted. The attempt made to bar from the church publications all business no- tices and advertisements in which the title “Rev.” is used was rejected. The committee on the revision of the course of study for ministers rec- emmended a number of changes in both the German and English courses. CAUSES MUCH COMMENT. Bishop Potter Entertains Negre Bishop in the South. Richmond, Va., Oct. 21.—Bishop and Mrs. Potter of New York, who have leased a residence here during the general conventlon of the American Episcopal church, entertained at din- ner Bishop Ferguson of Africa, the only negro entitled t3 a seat in the house of bishops at the convention. The dinner in honor of the African bishop, occurring as it has in the heart of the South, has been the occa- slon of considerable comment among those who have heard of it. Mother and Son May Die. New York, Oct. 21.—As a result of pouring ofl on a fire in & stove Mrs. Phoebe Goldstein of Brooklyn and six of her eleven children were badly burned. Mrs. Goldstein and a som, David, aged twenty-five, are likely to die, the latter from Inhaling flames. CHOLERA IS SPREADING. Additional Russian Provinces In the Danger Zone. St. Petersburg, Oct. 21.—Cholera continues to advance in Russia. Sev- eral hundred new cases are reported dally in the affected regions and the provinces of Poltava and Mohilev have been officially included in the danger zone. Quarantine measures are enforced, but the exceptionally mild sutumn contributes to the spread of the disease. The suthorities, how- ever, are ot serlously apprehensive and expect the epidemic to be checked with the advent of winter. Two Men Mistaken for Deer. Canton, N. Y, Oct, 21.—Martin and Edwin Clohossy, father and son, of Colton were accidentally shot while leaving a fleld in the southern part of St. Lawrence county while deer hunt- ing. Martin was returning to his home at South Colton when he met his son Edwin. They stood talking when seen by another hunter, James Crowley, who mistook them for deer and fired twice.

New Hartford, Conn., Oct. 21.—A machine used in the manufacture ot flluminating gas from petroleum in a small structure on the bank of the Farmington river in the upper village exploded with terrific force and Thomas O'Connell, the maker of gas, and his assistant, Michael Donovan, were Instantly killed and George Gag- non, a helper, was seriously burt. LAW IS HELD ILLEGAL. Arrests on Suspicion No Longer Pos- sible in Ohlo. Columbus, O., Oct. 21.—Hereafter no person in the state of Ohio can be arrested on suspicion. Previous to Sept. 24, 1906, the police of Columbus were in the habit of ar- resting persons and charging them with being susplcious characters. Among others arrested was Peter Treab. He was found guilty. Judge Dillon came to the conclusion that the ordinance under which the police were acting was unconstitutional. The circuit court has found that Judge Dillon was correct in his con- clusions. 8mall Announces His Retirement. Chicago, Oct. 19.—Sylvester J. Small, suspended president of the Commercial Telegraphers’ union, has announced his retirement from office and from the union. DECLARE FOR OPEN SHOP Every Factory at Kenosha, Wis., In Manufacturers’ Association. Kenosha, Wis,, Oct. 21.—At a meet- Ing of representatives of every indus- trial plant in the city steps were com- pleted for the formation of a manufac- | turers’ association. The principles of the association practically declare for an open shop in every plant in Ke- mosha. The new order will affect 6,500 men and the plants which have signed the agreement have an annual payrell of more than $5,000,000. The announcement of the formation of the association came as a surprise to labor leaders, who declared that within a few weeks there would be 5,000 men striking in the city. The new association has arranged to open & certral labor bureau with paid men In charge to attend to the work of getting men to man the machines in the factories. ‘Thomas B. Jeffery, long noted as a fighter against union labor, was elect- ed president of the new association and Z. G. Simmons, Jr.,, head of the Sfmmons Manufzcturing company, vice president. Nearly all of the plants have contracts with the un- ions, but none of these will be re- newed after their expiration next month.’ Four of the plants in the new association are the largest of the kind in the world. STATUE TO GENERAL SIGEL Dedication Preceded by Imposing Mili- tary Parade. New York, Oct. 21.—The dedication and unveiling of the statue of General Franz Sigel at Riverside drive and One Hundred and Sixth street was made the occasion for an imposing military and civic parade in which over 20,000 men participated. General Stewart L. Woodford, chair- man of the committee, presided and Patrick F. McGowan, president of the board of aldermen, received the statue on behalf of the city. The English oration by Governor Hughes, an address in German by Herman Ridder of the New York Staats Zeitung and singing by the United German Singing societied of 1,000 voices were a part of the cere monies. The unveiling of the statue, which 1s the work of Carl Bitter, was as- signed to Franz Sigel, son of the famous general. NOT SEEKING NOMINATION Governor Hughes Declares Public Of- fice a Burden. New York, Oct. 21. — Governor Charles E. Hughes made a declaration of his attitude toward the presidential nomination when, in an address at a dinner given in his honor by the Re- publican club, he said: “I d1d not seek any public office. I have not sought, nor shall I seek, directly or indirectly, to influence the selection or the vote of any delegate to any convention and with reference to the election of any delegate to any convention there will be no suggestion or thought of influence, protest or re- prisal in the executive chamber. “To me public office means a burden of responsibility—a burden of inces- sant toil, at times intolerable—which under honorable conditions and at the commind of the people it may be a duty and even a pleasure to assume, but it is far from being an object of ambition.” HUSBAND IS RELEASED. Exonerated in Connection With Death of Wife. Kaneas City, Oct. 21.—Leo Shulfer, the Minneapolis fur cutter, has ar- rived In Kansas City from the Mill City and took charge of the funeral arrangements of his late wife, Mrs, Lizzie Shulfer, who was shot and Kkilled at thelr home by George Bmiley, the woman’s son by her first husband. The police had been looking for Shul- fer and he went direct to the station. He submitted eagerly to a long list of questions, which he answered in a straightforward manner, and was soon released. The boy previously had been released. There is no clue to the burglar who is supposed to have been grappling with Mrs. Shulfer When she was shot by Smiley, LULL IN" SITUATION Excitement in Financial Circles Has Materially Subsided. STOCK MARKET STILL WEAK Declines Were Not of a Sensational Character and Caused No Uneasi- ness—Hitch In Plans for Reorganiz- Ing Mercantile National. / New York, Oct. 21.—There was a distinct lull in the financial situation In this city during the day, which was very welcome to Wall street. In com- parison with the previous day the ex- citement had materially subsided. While the price of metal stocks de- clined on the stock exchange the lorses were not sensational and the prices of railroad stocks were held better than had been expected. Al- though the market closed weak and at the lowest prices of the day the net losses for the day were not heavy and caused no uneasiness. The center of interest was in the situation created by the developments in the Mercantile National bank, the affairs of which were considered again at a meeting of the clearinghouse committee. While no official state- ment was made at the close of this meeting several of those present at the conference permitted it to become known that no conclusion had been reached as to the continuance of sup- port to the Mercantile National bank except from day to day. It was re- ported, but not confirmed, that further assistance to the bank depended upon the attitude of some of the directors whose resignations were demanded. Objects to Reorganization Plan. It was said that Charles W. Morse, who is heavily interested in the Mer- cantile and several other banks in this city, does not feel that the res- ignations of himself and of his other friends should be regarded as per- manent, F. Augustus Heinze, the deposed president of the bank, in an interview, said: “I still hold a controlling interest of the Mercantile National bank. I have not parted with a share of my Mer- cantile stock. I would like to say this about the clearinghouse committee: “They were asked to come into our bank and make a thorough examina- tion. They found it perfectly solvent and said so. Later they added that gratuitous blow about the surplus im- pairment. You know why they did that—nothing more or less than to in- duce our depositors to withdraw their accounts. A fine game—they were endeavoring to attract deposits to their own institutions.” News of Comptroller Ridgely’s dec- lination of the presidency of the Mer- cantile National bank was not re- celved here until after the closing of the banks and stock exchange and comment on Mr. Ridgely’s action was not available JURY HIGHLY INCENSED. Form of Its Verdict May Result In New Trial. { Chicago, Oct. 21.—A jury in the criminal court condemned Michael Mabher to imprisonment for life for an attack on a young gir], but may have defeated its own purpose in its in- dignation against the man by the form of its verdict. Instead of declaring “we, the jury, find the defendant guilty in manuer. and form as charged in the indictment and sentence him to Iimprisonment for the term of his natural life,” the Jury wrote after the word “imprison- ment” the words “for life” and under- scored “life” and placed it in quota- tion marks. . A motion for a new trial made by Maher’s attorney immediately was overruled, but the case will be ap- pealed hecause of the form of the ver- dict. Maher’'s victim was Josephine Mec- Gluckin, eleven years old, Who lives in South Chicago. Her story to the jury so incensed its members that they were out of the courtroom only long enough to draw up their verdict RIDGELY DECLINES JOB. Refuses Presidency of the Mercantile National Bank. ‘Washington, Oct. 21.—Comptroller of the Currency W. B. Ridgely has declined the presidency of the Mer: cantile National bank of New York. Mr. Ridgely announced his action in the following statement given out at his office: “After consultation with his friends in Washington and the West Comp- troller Ridgely has decided he does not care to leave the treasury depart- ment at. Washington for the present and has therefore declined the offer of the presidency of the Mercantile National bank of New York.” WHEAT UP FOUR CENTS. 8horts Alarmed by Unfavorable For- eign News. New York, Oct. 21.—There was great excitement in the wheat market attending a jump of nearly 4 cents a bushel. Speculators for a decline, ac- tuated by less favorable Argentine news and a report that between 200 and 300 loads had been sold for ex- port, bought wheat to fill contracts to sell which they had made previously. Continued drouth in Australia and India also aided the advance, Carn Was up & cent in sympathy. GREAT NATURAL WEALTH. Jap Consul at Manila Investigates Southern Pailippines. ‘Washington, Oct, 21.—Mail advices from Manila report that Mr. Akasa Tsuka, the Japanese consul for the Philippine islands, has recently con- cluded his first visit to the southern islands of the archipelago, where he Investigated the industrial and polit- fcal conditions in order to make a report to his government. Mr. Akasa Tsuka, upon his return to Manila, ly of hig visit. He said That the “great natural wealth of the southern Islands astonished him and that he can readlly see that the Unit- ed States will never desire to sell the {slands to another power. He ex-~ pressed the oplnion that the wealth of the islands will gome day repay many times over the cost of developing them. Mr. Akasa Tsuka was very much fmpressed also with the government of the Moro provinces by the military authorities. He considers it one of the most effective and practical systems that could be devised for the Moros and it is being administered in a way that compels admiration. “The Moro,” he says, “seems to be bright and hon- est and will, under the present system of government, develop into a fine cit- izen some day, as have the natives of the mountains of Formosa under the Japanese government.” HAVE FAITH IN CABLES. Ocean Telegraph Lines Not Alarmed by Advent of Wireless. New York, Oct. 21.—George G. Ward, general manager of the Com- merefal Cable company, does not be- Heve that the wireless system will ever prove a serious rival to the old cable lines. In an interview he said: “We would not be understood as minimizing Marconi’s . achlevements, but submarine cables, being more re- llable, we do not believe that wireless will ever prove a serious rival to them. As proof of cur estimation of the commercial future of the wireless I might say we have this minute com- pleted a new direct cable from New York to Havana. In other words, ca- ble companies which are free to adopt wireless methods if they see fit to do s0 continue to invest in new cables. “Furthermore, while it is expected that the Marconi system will be im- vroved in the course of vears, we an- ticipate that any such advances will have the effect of stimulating tele- graph businéss generally. History will undoubtedly repeat itself in this case as it has in many other kindred enterprises.” PERSONAL INJURY FAKERS United Action Proposed to Drive Them Out of Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 21.—Professional per- sonal injury fakers, colonies of whom have taken more than $1,000,000 fraud- ulently from the city in four years, are to be driven from Chicago and, if possible, to the penitentiary by a triple alliance in which the city ad- ministration is the principal factor. Chicago practically has completed an arrangement with the traction com- panies and the steam railroads enter ing the city to carry on an offensive and defensive campaign against these people. Besides these parties to the alliance forty corporations, all victims of the personal injury fakers, have been invited to assist in the establish- ment of a clearingkouse for the rec- ords of professional crooks of thie character, This action was decided on by First Assistant City Attorney Clyde A. Mor- rison after it was discovered that there were whole families which, us- ing various names, were suing the city on fake charges. Besides this it was learned that the professional “in- valids,” assisted by lawyers of a like stripe, are living in colonies where they assist each other in robbing the city in a systematic manner. Investigation of some of these cases disclosed the fact that a disinterested witness could not be found by the city, because in an entire neighbor- hood not a single adult could be found who did not have a suit against the clty. RIOTING AT NEW ORLEANS Fanatical Excitement of Colored Re- ligious Sect the Cause. New Orleans, Oct. 21.—Fanatical ex- citement of negroes calling themselves the “council of God” appears to have been the cause of the riot in which one policeman was killed, several oth- ers wounded and a number of negroes badly injured. The isolated house in which half a dozen negroes barricaded themselves, transforming the place into a veritable blockhouse, which was fired upon by policemen and citizens from all sides for the better part of two hours, proves to have been a meeting place of the sect. The trou- ble started during a meeting, when highly excited negroes drew razors on Policeman Cambias_ because he at- tempted to enter the meeting to in- vestigate reports of a disturbance caused by boys throwing stones through the windows. Razors were drawn across his face and neck, mor- tally wounding him. Many members of the meeting then fled. Those Who remained and barricaded themselves were well armed and after the negroes had been smoked into submission by a burning fence several shotguns and other firearms ‘were found under the meetinghouse. Excitement in that section of the city where the negroes held forth grew intense and when the arrests followed it required the efforts of a score or more of policemen to get the negroes through the mob and land them in the stationhouse. TO DRIVE OUT CROOKS. Chlcago Officials Have Adopted a New Process. Chicago, Oct. 21.—Chicago Is to be rid of its “undesirables,” that ls, its criminals, by a new process. Mayor Busse called the chief of police and chief of detectives into his office and unfolded a plan for the systematic warning of saloonkeepers not to har- bor criminals if they desire to con- tinue in the saloon business. The saloonkeeper, on the second case of the arrest of a criminal In his place, will be arrested also. If the saloon man is caught a third time harboring criminals he will lose his license and be arrested and “booked” on charges of conducting a disorderly house. As a result of the conference Cap- taln O’Brien sent fifteen picked men to saloons where criminals are sup- posed to gather. They arrested more than fifteen criminals and warned the saloonkeepers.

CROWD CHEERS OUTCOME Sudden Ending of Sensational Trial in Which Husband and Wife Were Ac- cused of Killing the Man's Former Spouse. Decatur, I, Oct. 21.—Acting under Instructions from Judge Cochran the Jury in the Maglil case returned a verdict acquitting Frederick Magill and his wife, Fave Graham Maglll, of the charge of murdering Mrs. Pet Ma. glll, the first wife of Magill Ingtructions the judge sald the state had failed to prove the corpus delicti. The verdict was greeted with cheers despite the efforts of the court to moaintain order. May 80, 1907, Mrs. Pet Magill was found dead in her home at Clinton, 11, and a post mortem examination held six weeks later showed that she had been suffocated by chloroform. July 5, in Denver, Colo., Frederick Maglll, her husband, and Miss Faye Graham, a young woman who had | becu a close friend of the family, were married. Four days later, in San Diego, Cal., Magill and his second wife were arrested on a charge of murdering the first Mrs. Magill. They Wwere brought back to Clinton and se- cured a change of venue to this city. In the trial the state claimed that Magill and Miss Graham by their con- duct had driven Mrs. Magill to suicide and were therefore guilty of murder. The defense introduced letters writ- ten by Mrs. Magill shortly before her | death in which she complained of | “unbearable headaches” and constant | “nagging” by her husband’s relatives. Witnesses also testified that Mrs. Magill had often talked of committing suicide. In a letter to her husband the day before her death Mrs. Magill asked him to marry Faye Graham in case anything should happen to her. GREEK PADRONES INDICTED Violation of Immigration Laws the Charge. Chicago, Oct. 21.—The federal grand | Jury in this city has returned indict- ments against eight Greeks charging them with violation of the immigra- tlon laws. It is claimed that they have been acting as “padrones and | have been making false affidavits to| the immigration inspector.” It is claimed that the indicted men | have housed the boys brought into this country in unsanitary places in order to decrease the expense of their keeping. The consequence has been, it is said, that a large percentage of | the Greek boys brought here in vio- lation of the immigration law become consumptives and are then turned out by the padrones to be public charges.i BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.
