Government's Side Set Forth In Stand
ard Suit.
"Either the Sherman act should be
repealed or it should be enforced In
a manner to make the people respect
It"
With this declaration as its guiding
principle the department of justice
Wednesday tiled with the supreme
court of the United States a 1.000
page brief In support of Its petition
that the "Standard Oil" be dissolved
as In violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. The brief will be the foun
dation of the government's oral argu
ment at the hearing of the case by the
supreme court.
One of the two thick volumes of
the brief is devoted to an analysis of
testimony taken In the circuit court
of the United States for the enstern
district of Missouri, which decreed
that "Standard Oil be dissolved." It
represented years of governmental In
vestigation of the oil business. The
government declares this show? the
rebate and discriminatory rates re
ceived by the Standard Oil combina
tion, not only during its formative pe
riod, but during the last ten years,
"whereby the Standard was enabled to
bring a large part of the concerns In
to the combination and to crush out
and eliminate from the field of com
petition the principal part of the bal
ance. It is claimed by the government
that it shows a "system of lowering the
pikes where competitors are doing
business, below the cost of the product,
while keeping up or raising the prices
in other parts of the country until
the competitor U either eliminated or
his business brought within a com
pass bo that the Standard Oil com
pany can control It; of obtaining se
cret information as to competitive
business, largely through bribing rail
way employes and using that secret
information to procure countermand
ing of orders of independents, and to
facilitate their system of price cutting
and oppression; of the use of the so
called bogus independent companies
whose operators are predatory and
oppressive, and principally used tq
drive out competitors."
PEARY'S REWARD HELD VP.
Congress Wants Explorer to Produce
Proof.
By a practically unanimous vote the
subcommittee of the house naval
committee Wednesday decided against
bestowing any reward upon Com
mander, Robert E. Peary until he had
furnished further proofs that he dis
covered the north pole.
"I am absolutely opposed to grant
ing any award to Commander Peary
unless his proofs are made public,"
declared Representative Roberts, of
Massachusetts, a member of the sub
committee.
"No doubt the members of the com
mittee wouldn't be able to tell any
thing about Mr. Peary's records even
if they were submitted to us, for we
are not scientists, but at least the
country would be given a chance to
know why we were honoring him.
"There is nothing whatever before
us to show that Mr. Peary has discov
ered the pole, further than the state
ments of certain gentlemen that he
did. How could the members of this
committee go into the house and sup
port any bill which they presented
when they had no facts to back It up.
We would be in a ridiculous attitude."
TWO MILLION DOLLARS (;()XR
Monster Sum Is Stolen by n French
oriicial.
The arrest of M. Puez, of Paris, fol
lowing his confession that he had mis
ippropriated something like $1,000,-
000 of funds derived from the sale
of church property for which he was
the liquidator, has created a great
sensation. Intimations are freelv
made that other liquidators in the em
ployment of the government are sim
ilarly Involved.
The republican press finds no words
of excuse for the disgraced official
ind lays much of the responsibility for
conditions of affairs upon the im
mense amount of work assigned to a
single liquidator. At the same time
the papers accord the government un
stinted praise for its courage in bold
ly exposing the scandal on the eve
of the general elections, when it is
sure to become a powerful weapon In
the hands of its Catholic adversaries,
who for mouths have been organizing
i genuine political compalgn.

KATE PROTEST HANDED IV.
tt'estcrn Men Call on Chicago Railway
Officials.
A protest against the recent advance
in freight rates on packing houso
products, from the Missouri river to
Chicago, was presented Tuesday to a
committee of executive and traffic of
ficials in Chicago by a largo delegation
representing the commercial clubs and
the live stock exchanges of Omaha, St.
Joseph, Sioux City and St. Paul, tho
stock yards companies of Omaha,
Sioux City nnd St. Joseph, the live
stock exchange of South Omaha, and
the Jobbers nnd manufacturers' asso
ciation of St. Paul.
With the exception of the Alton and
Wabash, the railroads recently deter
mined to advance Missouri river-Chicago
rates on fresh meats and pack
ing house products from JS'i cents to
23 ',4 cents per 100 pounds on through
traffic, and from 20 cents to 23 4
cents on local traffic, effective on
March 2. Similai advances were
made from St. Paul to Chicago, nnd
from the Missouri river to St. Paul.
The Alton railroad refused -to join in
the ndvancta for tin- reason, it assort
ed, that it has mad" another contract
with the pack'-is, and the Wabash de
clined to raise lis rates unltsj the Al
ton did so.
As these lines reach Kansas City
and not the other MUsourl river points
named, Kansas City will enjoy much
lower rates on meat than Omaha, St.
Joseph and Sioux City, nnd the com
mercial organisations of Close cities
fear this will mean the removal of
the packing Industries to Kansas City.
The protest was presented to the rail
roads at a meeting at the congress ho
tel. No definite answer was given by the
railroads, but it was agreed to hold a
lolnt conference later at Omaha.
$10 IIO; ARRIVES.
Two Loads Brlnjj That Price in Sioux
City.
The $10 hog arrived on the Sioux
City market Tuesday morning, that
price being paid for two loads of the
best in the local yards. Chas. Rohr
berg, of Osmond, Neb., who is one of
the largest shippers to this market
sent one of the loads. The swine were
mostly of the Duroe variety and they
averaged 251 pounds. F. E. Deeme,
of Emerson, Neb., - was tho other big
shipper and his hogs averaged 2S5
pounds.
The advance in hog prices has been
so rapid the past month that even the
most optimistic trcaders have been
surprised. A month ago hogs were
selling around $8. 10 (Ti. 8.55, and the
$9 hog was predicted. Very few had
the rashness to assert that $10 per
hundred pounds ever would be paid
on the local market. Now that it lias
happened nnd there seems to be the
same urgent need both from local
puckers as well us the shipping con
tingent, there are all kinds of predic
tions us to what summit they will
mount before values start to go the
other way.
The total decrease for the six lead
ing markets since the first of tho
year as compared with the corre
sponding time a year ago is estimated
at 960,000 hogs.
ATTACK AMERICAN LEGATION.
Stones Are Thrown by Crowd of Ex
cited Colombians
A quarrel between the mnnager of
an American owned street railway line
and a police officer at Bogota, Colom
bia, Monday was followed by a riot,
during which a mob attempted to
wreck the street cars. Tho traffic was
stopped and the amnaegr placed
under arrest.
The rioting continued for some
time and reached the block In which
the American legation is located. The
police gathered In force in the vicini
ty, but the mob after wreaking its
vengeance on the rolling stock of the
company, attacked the United States
legation, stoning the building.
The members of the legation were
protected, and though there were fur
ther disturbances during the night the
authorities Tuesday morning appeared
to be able to afford protection to the
Americans.

PIERCE FIZZLE SOLVED.
Engineer Finally Finds Bow Water
Supply Vanished.
Engineer George -Coff, of Pierce,
was greatly puzzled for several days
by the mysterious disappearance of
the city water from the standpipe.
The resevolr holds nearly 55,000 gal
lons, yet after filling it up to the brim
it would lie only a few hours when
those who have hot water plants In
their residences would send in com
plaint that the water was out of their
pipes. The fact that over 50,000 gal
lons of water disappeared In from two
to three hours alarmed the water
commissioner, and Mr. Goff made a
thorough investigation of the mains,
but could not find any signs of leak
age. On the fourth day after the
disappearance of the water from the
pipe a business man discovered water
pouring out of the basement windows
of the large resilience of Dr. J. M. Al
den in the west part of town, and In
vestigation showed that the water
pipes in the cellar had htirstod after
being frozen. . It is estimated that
400,000 or 500,000 gallons of water
escaped Into the cellar before the leak
was discovered. Dr. Aldenand his
wife are spending the winter hv Flor
ida and no one is occupying the
house.
