It developed the calls upon the President of Speaker Cannon and Representative Wat- son of Indiana, the Republican “‘whip” of the House, that the members of the House are incensed at the action of the Senate not - only- on the statehood bill, but on other measurcs passed by the House which have been received with dis- the Senate. When Speaker Cannon was asked if, in his opinion, there would be statehood leg- islation by this Congress, he safd ve- | hemently: “Go ask Aldrich, Burrows & Co. They seem to want to be running things. So far as I am concerned—so far as my vote goes—the legisiation will proceed. along the usual lines. The bill will be sent to a conference betwesn the two branches. Do they think the House was born in the woods to be scared by an wi?’ Watson was positive the House would not concur in the Senate amendments to the statehood bill. ““The House will stand pat,” he declared. ““The Senate has kicked out our Philip- pine bill, hag tried to emasculate the rate bill and has cut the life out of the state- hood bill. Do you think the House will stand such treatment? It will not, and you may depend on it."” AL e S FAVOR HEPBURN BILL. Frult Growers of California Adopt Vigorous Resolutions on Rate Measure. LOS ANGELES, March 12.—'"Perma- nent organization to safeguard the fruit industry of California,” was the key- note of the convention of fruit growers which assembled at the Chamber of Commerce today. It was a large and representative gathering of the men interested in an industry which annual- ly brings to the State an income of about §$25,000,000. The convention was caled to urge the necessity of the passage of a law specifically guaranteeing to the right to route their shipments, a privilege now denied them under a re- cent deecision by the United States Su- and to urge the necessity for the passage of the Hepburn rail- road rates bill now before the Senate. Within a few minutes after the tem- porary organization was effected it was determined to form a great association of California fruit growers and shippers having for its object the promotion of the welfare of.the industry, The dele- adopted the following resolution: We, the citrus frutt bled in conv realizing the vital importance of secur: lief from the exactions and oppressions of the railroad .companies, long suffered, and which are jeopardizing our industry, hereby resolve that’ we urge Congress to pass the Hepburn' bill; “and Whereas, Experience has stiown that when = ‘routed by the railroads the time of was from two to eight days longer when routed by shippers and the loss on nt of decay caused by such delay, in instances, from $100 to $300 per car; fore be it ved, That legislation should be enacted ill restore the routeing privilege to the shippers.

CO.EPIENRTS [+ — | MEN WHO ARE CONDUCTING | THBE I\QL IRY INTO THE RATES | ON OIL. [+ = KANSAS CITY, M March 12,—Aet- ing upon resolutions passed by both houses of Congress, three members of the Interstate Commerce Commission began an-investigation'into the ¢harges made by independent oil producers of Kansas that the railroads of Kansas discriminate in. favor of the Standard Oil Company in the matter of oil rates outside that State.. The'railroads in- volved are the Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the St Louts @nd San Francisco, the Rock Island, the Union Pacitic, the ton. The members of the Interstate Com- merce Commission making the investi- gation are Francis M. Cockrell, Judson C. Clements and Charles, A..Prouty. John T. Marsh and Charles A. Prouty appeared as attorneys for the commis- slon. ‘Francis S. Monnett, former At- torney General - of Ohio, and Clifford Thorne ‘of Washington, ~Iowa; were | présent as counsel for the independent producers. ~ The railways in the State had’ representatives at the investiga- tion, and there were several interested Spectators. Among the latter was C. D. Chambeérlain, secretary of the National Petroleum Association, com- prising independent refiners of Pennsyl- vania and Ohio. He said he was here to, watch the proceedings in the inter- ests of his asdociation. /RATES SUDDENLY RAISED, . A.'F. Robertson of Cherryvale, Kans., was the first witness examined. Rob- ertson, who formerly was & newspaper correspondent, is now a member of the Kansas Oil Producers’ Association, \‘;hlch makes the charges of discrimin: tion. Robertson's testimony brought out an interesting story of the Kansas oil field. He said that he was a member of the Uncle Sam Oil Company, which is affiliated with the Producers’ Associa- tion. He said that the Standard Oil Company, the Prairie Oil and Gas Com- pany and the Republic Oil companies were not members of the Kausas Ol Producers’ Association, known as the independents. Robertson said practi- cally all the oil in the iield is produced by thc firdependent companies. The first pipe line was laid in Kansas in 1896 from Thayer to Neodosha. In 1904 @ pipe line was built from Neodosha to Caney, near the Indian Territory line, and it was gradually extended down into different points in Oklahoma. The Standard has had & refinery at Neo- dosha, Kans., for ten years, and it has a pipe line from Neodosha to Sugar Creek. Five years ago, Robertson said, the rate on’ crude oil and refined oil from Cherryvale, Kans,, to Kansas City was ten cents per 100 pounds, to Omaha the rate was 10 cents. This ten cent rate was in effect until 1904, when it was changed to 17. cents to Kansas City and 22 cents ‘to Omaha. The weight of a gallon of oll was estimated by the’ ml- roads prior to 1904 at six and four- tenths pounds. In 1904 a change was made and the weight was estimated at seven and four-tenths pounds for both crude and refined oil. These rates applied to Kansas City, Mo, and to all points in Missouri, Nel , Colorado .qa ‘Oklahoma. .

Robertson said that when in 1904 the railroads raised the rate on oil outside of Kansas they made no change in the rate for transporting other commodities, such as coal, wheat and lumber. Robertson testified that the railroad rate from Caney, Kans., to Bartlesville, I T., a distance of sixty-one miles, prior to the building of the pipe line by the Stan- { dard Oil Company, was 12 cents and it was reduced . to 5 cents per 100 pounds while the pipe line was being constructed. After .its completion the railroad rate was put up to 19 cents and it stands there today. “What effect did the 19 cents rnte hav upon “the indepéndent producer?” Rob- ertson was asked. “It makes the rate from the well ‘to the refinery 5 cents a barrel more than the top, price paid for crude ofl in Kansas or the Territory. The top price paid for oil is 52 cents a barrel, while the freight upon a barrel would be 57 cents.” F. A. Leland, assistant general freight agent of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rallway, was the second witness called. He told in reply to questions of a meet- ing at St. Lowis in June, 1904, of the traf- fic managers of the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe, the St. Louls and San Fran- cisco and his roads, to consider raising the oil rate from Kansas. He said that Mr. Bogardus, traffic manager: of the Standard Ofl Company, was present, but he did not recall that any of the inde- pendent oil refiners of Kansas had been asked to attend the meeting. After the meeting he was informed that the rate was to be changed from 10 cents to 17 cents from Kansas points to Kansas City, Mo. HIGH CHARGES IN MISSOURL “Didn’t you know that the change was contemplated before that meeting?” Le- land was asked. “Yes, we had discussed it.” “I hold a letter signed by you and ad- dressed to J. A. Boland of Kansas City, written May 28, 1904, sald Attorney Marsh, and‘he showed the letter to Le- land. The letter, which Leland admitted having written, advised Boland that the rate upon erude ofl from Southeastern Kansas to Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison and St. Joseph would be raised to 17 cents. ‘““When did the 17-cent rate go into ef- fect?” “‘August 15, 1904, replied Leland. “‘About that time the Standard Oil Com- pany completed a pipe line from the Kansas oll field to its refinery at Sugar Creek in Missouri, did it not?” “Yes. ‘‘And coincident with that the rate went up?"* “It had been agreed upon.” Leland admitted that under the Kansas rate law the rate for oil from Chanute, Kans., to Kansas City, Kans.,, was 8% cents in less -than carload lots. But to Kansas City, Mo., it was 31% cents and the distance was only seven miles by his road, which makes a detour to get into Kansas City, Mo, He said his road hauled a tank car seventy-five miles in Kansas under the Kansas rate law for $2.33, and charged $7.50 tnr the same service in Missouri. gty R SPECIAL COUNSEL ENGAGED.

The Wisconsin cases were dismissed for want of juris- diction, while in the Minnesota cases the verdict of the court for the District of Minnesota was affirmed. The proceeding in these cases was an effort on the part of the officers of the Generai Paper Company, commonly known as the Western Paper Trust, j avold testifying in the Government's prds- ecution of that company under the Sher- man anti-trust law. The original action, out of which the cases grew, was Insti- tuted in the Circuit Court for the Dis- trict of Minnesota, in December, 1504, but the transaction invejved in the cases de- clded today by the Supreme Court took place in Milwaukee on May 16 last before an examiner sent to that city to take | testimony in the proceedings against the paper company. Among the witnesses summoned by the examiner were L. M. Alexander, secre- tary and treasurer; George A. Whiting, first vice president; W. C. Stuart, general sales manager of the General Paper Com- pany, and E. T. Harmon, president of the | Grand Rapids Pulp and Paper Company. They refused to produce their books or to make reply to certain questions con- cerning the conspiracy alleged by the Government in the proceedings against the paper company, claiming personal privileges under the fourth and fifth | amendments to the constitution of the Unifed States, which, they asserted, re- lieved them from disclosing the facts con. cerning which they were Interrogated. They also contended that to compei such disclosures would amount to an un- Jreasonable search and seizure, within the meaning of the fourth amendment, and to require them to give evidence against themselves, within the meaning of the fifth amendment. A similar plea was made on behalf of the General Paper Company. The refusal of the witnesses to testify ‘was reported to the Cireuit Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and that tribunal directed them to reply to the questions and produce the books of the company, as required. From that de- cision an appeal was taken to the Su- préme Court. The facts in the Minnesota case similar, but the court proceedings different, permitting the court to jurisdiction in these cases, while it not do so in the-Wisconsin cases. N DECISION AGAINST POWERS. Famous Case Must Remaia With Courts of Kentucky. ‘WASHINGTON, March 12.—The Caleb Powers case was decided by the Su- preme Court of the United States today against Powers. The opinion was .de- livered by Justice Harlan and held that the case was not removable from the State to the Federal courts. The case was therefore remanded to the Ken tucky State courte. The ovinion was based on the ground that the equal rights statute, section 841, Revised Stat- utes, does not apply unless recognized by State laws or the State constitu- tion. Justice Harlan said that the Supreme Court of the United States could take cognizance of the case on a writ of error. The opinion was unanimous. Powers has been tried three times by the Circuit Court of Scott County and each time found guilty, omce receiving a sentence of death and twice a sentence of life imprisonment, but the Kentucky Court of Appeals interfered in each in- stance to prevent the execution of the verdict. Last May the case was present- ed to Judge Cochran, sitting in the Unit- ed States Circuit Court for the East Dis- trict of Kentucky, and he granted a writ of habeas corpus, ordering removal from the State courts to his court. The pro- ceedings which terminated today were instituted by Kentucky to restore the case to the State courts. Hence, prac- tically the only question involved was ju- risdiction. ‘Witnesses Must Answer. WASHINGTON, March 12.—The to- bacco trust cases, involving the right of witnesses to refrain from testifying before Federal grand juries in pro- ceedings under the anti-trust law, were today decided by the Supreme Court of ‘the United States against the wit- nesses. The cases grew out of the pro- ceedings for writs of habeas corpus instituted in the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, whose decision was afirmed. The court held, however, that the subpena in this case was too broad. B S e Murd: Must Hang. WASHINGTON, March 12.—The Su- preme Court of the United States today refused to grant a writ of habeas cor- pus in the case of Anna Valentina, the Italian woman who i3 under sentence of death at Hackensack, N. J. on the charge of murder in that city in 1904, thus aMrming the decision of the Cir- cuit Court. —————— Incorporate New Railroad.

The next day he did not come to the Capltol and he has not been there since. Daily Inquiries were made of his see- retaries and at his house and the answer always.was that there was nothing of in- 1 | terest to the Senator in the Senate that he preferred to remain at home. Last week Friday his secretaries ad- mitted that the Senator had been in New | York for ten days and had not been in Washingten, although they had said daily that he was here and callers at his house and all inquiries over the telephones wers | told that he was at his house here, with | his_ niece, Miss Paulding | The nervousmess that marked Sepator | Depew’s appearance in the Senate after | the Christmas recess grew more marked {day by day.
