ROOSEVELT SAYS
RAILROAD POLICY
NEED NO EXCUSE
Decides to Address the Illinois
Manufacturers’ Association
--Nothing to Explain.
PROTECTION OF LINES
President in a Letter Reiterates That
They Must Be Shielded From
the Clamor of the
Public.
Washington, D. C., April 3.—Presi
dent Roosevelt today declined the re
quest of the Illinois Manufacturers’ as
sociation to make an address in Spring
field on the railroad and financial situ
ation. In a letter to C. H. Smith, the
president, he explains that such an ad
dress from him at this time would be
useless, as his position is well under
stood.
It is reiterated that the president
has not the slightest intention of tak
ing any action which would invalidate
railroad securities.
He holds that every executive action
of his administration regarding the
roads has furnished its own ample jus
tification. Neither has the president, it
is pointed out, made any reference to
the physical valuation of the railroads,
holding that they are capable of work
ing out that problem for themselves.
Attention Is called to the fact that
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern have already submitted figures re
garding such valuation. It is also un
derstood that the Dresident will again
ask congress for power to deal with the
over-capitalization question, which re
quest was denied at the last session.
The president’s letter outlines his
position on the railroad and financial
questions, by means of copious extracts
from the speeches he delivered in Ra
leigh. N. C., October 19. 1905, and in
Washington, November 14, same year,
as well as from one of his recent mes
sages to congress.
Needs No Amplification.
His position, he declares, has been
amply justified by the course of events.
Its wisdom is obvious, he adds, and
there is no occasion for its amplifica
tion now.
Quoting from his Raleigh address,
the president calls attention to his be
lief that the government should own
nothing which can properly be left in
private hands, but that such regula
tions should be exercised against the
railroads as will insure their operation
in a spirit of fairness. The railroads,
he declares, must be protected from
any public clamor, no matter how vio
lent, when they are in the right. Re
ferring to the Washington address,
the president says the railroad rates
are not as a whole too high, but that
the evils that exist are due to unjust
discrimination and this should be pre
vented by law.

OIL TRUST ASKS JUDGE !
TO SAY NOT GUILTY
Standard's Request Opens One
of Greatest Battles in Federal
Court Records.
TARIFF NOT GOVERNING
Octopus Claims That the Levy
Was Never Intended to Control
the Shipments of
0.1.
Chicago, April 3.—This morning the
attorneys for Standard Oil presented a
motion to Judge Landis in United
States district court that the entire
case in which the trust is charged with
accepting less than tariff rates from
the Chicago and Alton be taken from
the jury and an instruction given for
a verdict of "not guilty."
This motion provokes one of the
greatest legal battles ever known in
the history of the federal courts. Even
Judge Cline, personal attorney for John
D. Rockefeller, will take a hand.
The government closed its case
against the trust several days ago.
When the prosecution announced it was
ready to rest, the trial had left be
hind this summary of its work:
Number of days in fight . 23
Number of words of testimony tak
en .1,000,000
Number of exhibits introduced— 0,000
Number of book entries Introduced 0,000
Cost to government . $140,000
Cost of Standard Oil . 250,000
Number of objections overruled by
court . 7,000
Federal Showing.
The government has shown these
things:
That the Chicago and Alton had a
rate of 18 cents for the public.
That the Chicago and Alton trans
ported oil for the trust at 6 cents.
That the tariff rate of 18 cents was
filed with the Interstate Commerce
commission.
That the agents of the road had signs
displayed at their stations notifying the
public that all tariffs could be had
upon application.
That each of the 1,903 cars charged to
have been shipped from Whiting to
East St, Louis and St. Louis were ac
tually shipped.
That the Standard Oil company paid
for the shipments at the end of every
two weeks at the rate of 6 cents per
100 pounds.
The big legal contest that began to
day Involves all the leading objections
the trust made, and can make to the
form of the indictment, the character
of the evidence and the many angles
that present themselves to expert law
yers.
It will be sought to be shown that the ,
tariff that is relied upon by the govern
ment never did govern and was not in
tended to govern the shipment of oil.
and that oil and Its products were left
from the tariff for express purpose of
permitting the railroad to make a spe
cial commodity rate for its transporta
tion. _ _

preparation reached tne city, had al
ready given up hope of growing his

When the engagement of the young
couple was first announced last July,
Mrs. Fish formally denied that there
was any truth in it. A month later j
Miss Marian also contributed not a
little to the mystification of society by
notifying Mr. Rainey to remain away
from the Crossways. She said that the
rumors of an engagement made her '
stay in Newport wretched.

band Charges Her With a
Trio of Marriages.
New York, April 2.—Pauline Get
reu, a beautiful young woman of Brook
lyn, is charged by her husband, Abra
ham Getreu, with having been so care
less about her matrimonial affairs that
she has acquired three husbands since
1901 without the formality of being
legally separated from any.
Getreu learned of h!a wife's former
marriage through husband No. 2. While
riding with her on a Brooklyn "I,"
train he noticed a strange man rnlse
his hat rather stiffly and saw glances
between the two that he thought called
for an explanation. Mrs. Getreu de
clined to explain. Later Getreu chanced
to meet the stranger ulone and de
manded to know who he was and why .
he eyed Mrs. Getreu so strangely.
‘‘My name Is Burnknap and the wom
an Is my wife," replied the stranger.
Words led to an understanding and
Burnknap proved his story by taking
Getreu to the rabbi who had performed
the ceremony in February, 1904.
Husband No. 2 let Getreu In on an
other secret that he professed to have
discovered, that Mrs. Getreu, born
Glaser, had eloped in December, 1901,
with a man named Morek, from whom
she had never been divorced. All three
marriages had taken place In Brooklyn,
It is alleged, but the records fall to
show that the courts were a^ealed to
in an effort to untie the knots.
