W UNE WH THE EST President Roosevelt’s Message, It Is Said, Will Handle Railroad Combinations Without Gloves. MORGAN CANNOT OWN THEM ALL. The Prince of Magnates Warned That He Is Only Precipitating a Universal Agitation for Government Control, fer the People Will Demand Uncle Sam's Intervention Should Competition Be Wiped Out. Washington, Roosevelt's mess strong chapter on trusts and another on interstate Without attempting to suggest the power of legislation the president calls the at- President id, has a commerce, tention of congress to the danger of | the former and the inadequacy of the interstate commerce law. ‘The president's position on both these questions is in line with the senti- | ment of the west and against the at- tempt to merge the control ef the great transcontinental railroads. It is known by government. officials that the Northern Securities compa- ny owning all the stocks in the North- ern Pacific, Union ifie and Chicago, Burlington & Quiney railroads is on- ly the beginning of the scheme which J.P. Morgan and James J.Si1ill have in mind. Morgan's ambition is eontrol the transportation lines of this country, not only the railroads but the steamship lines, Those who have talked with Morgan say that he regards himself as a benefactor in trying to rescue the railroad proper- ties of the country from ruinous competition, and that he believes such a consolidation of railroad stock will be beneficial to the whole coun- try. A close friend of President Roose- velt, who discussed the question with Morgan, pointed out to him that he was taking the greatest step that had ever been made toward govern- ment control of railroads, “You may be sincere, Morgan,” Said this gentle- man, “and you might succeed if you were God, But no human ageney, pt the government of the United States, will ever be allowed to own and control the railroads of the United States. There » just two alternatives to this question of trans- portation=-competition or wvern= ment control When the people are convinced or have good grounds to suspect that railroad competition is ended, they will insist on @overnment control, You are on most dangerous grounds, and if you go. forward in this gigantic scheme you will precip- itate the greatest political que of the age, and t the fe government face to face with the ne- cessity of government control.” to NEW INDIAN DEAL.

Two grand ju- ries have investigated the Richardson murder, but Mrs, Ada Richardson, the dead man’s widow, has been the only person indicted, She was in the house at time of the tragedy and it is believed she knows who killed her husband. . One of the principal against Fife will be Mrs, King, the wife of a crippled man, Fife was in King’s place the night of the murder, 'and when he left Mrs. King noticed that he went in the direction of his boarding house, which is also in the direction of the Richardson Mrs, Richardson admitted that she went as far as the railroad tracks that night en her way to the chureh rtainment, and must have been ‘y close to where Mrs. King sav Fife at eight o'clock.

STOLE FROM MERCHANTS, Arrest of Prominent Family at Pittsburg, Kan., Creates @ Sensation and Un- earths Numerous Thefts. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov, 23.—Seorge Lane, his wife, 14-year-old daeghter and 18-year-old adopted son were ar- rested by the police and placed in jail on the charge of robbery. Dur- ing the past year nearly every store in Pittsburg had been robbed, and the police were baffled. The arrest of the boy in a store and his confession unraveled the mystery. Their meth- od of burglary was unique, The boy would conceal himself in the and be locked in when the store was store closed and then in’ the night he would open the rear door, after which the robbery was easy. Lane is a contracting builder, He and his wife were both church workers and thus Lane, who was a most stylish dres ningled with the best society. Nearly $1,000 worth of loot has been discovered in his home, and several in neighboring cities have for the accompli been selling stolen goods Lanes, “PASSES THE DEAD LINE.” A Southern Magazine Rejected a Serial Story Wherein the Heroine Was Forced to Marry a Negro.

London, Nov, 23.—The British sugar magnates assert that their investiga- tions have revealed the existence in Germany of a great trust called the ' “Kartell,” which has been in existence about a year and it is chiefly owing , to its agency that sugar has been {forced down to its lowest point in the history of the industry and that Germany is enabled to dictate to the i World the price-of that commodity. ; The magnitude of its operations sup- ' plies the missing factors in the pres- jent alarming condition of the sugar ; market. The abolition of this organ- | ization will be one of the chief objects of the nations other than Germany attending the forthcoming Brussels conference, ‘The latest figures avail- able in London show that Germany { now produces one-third of the world’s supply of beet sugar, of which she exports no less than 1,250,000 tons after completely supplying her. own population, These exports, which are almost one-fifth of the world's available supply, are sent out at a loss to German manufacturers, but thanks to the “Kartell” plus the bounty, they are able not only to make up for this, but to reap a handsome profit in addition to gain- ing absolute control of the sugar market, The “Kartell” is run very secretly, but it consists of an iron- clad combination of almost all pro- ducers and refiners to keep up the price of-sugar in Germany. This is done so successfully that German consumers pay thrice as much for sugar as the Briton does for the same article imported from Germany. Bagg ve Remedy for Constipa- |f .

No Chance for the Newly-Elected “De- fant” Member of Parliament to Take the Oath. London, Nov. 23.—The nationalists disclaim any intention of exposing Col. Lynch to arrest and trial for trea- sen by insisting upon his attendance at Westminster, They have elected the Boer warrior as a defiant method of making themselves as disagreea- ble as possible, and incidentally have dispatched a member of the ministry responsible for the policy of killing off home rule by kindness, for Mr, Plunkett will be foreed to resign his oftice after this second defeat. The Irish party has scored twice from its own point of view and is satisfied. It will not risk a government counter- stroke in the arrest of Lynch, nor is it possible to smuggle him into the commons and enable him to take the oath without observation. Lawyers agree that Col, Lynch will be prose- cuted as soon as he arrives on British soil and that the oath must be ad- ministered in the presence of the tommons. The Best is the Cheapest.
