PREMIER AND KING FOR PEACE
Swedish Government Boei Not Desire, to
Coerce Norway Into Union.
WOULD CONFER WITH SECEDING PEOPLE
Klngr Oscar gays that Inlon Without
Mntnal Accord Wonlil Be of
No Ileal Advantage
to Sweden.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 21. The ex
traordinary session of the Klksdag sum
moned by King Oscar to deal with the
momentous question raised by Norway's
declaration dissolving the union met for
business today. As forecasted by the Asso
elated Press yesterday, the government Im
mediately Introduced a bill asking for au
thorization to enter into negotiations with
the Norwegian Storthing and draw up a
conditional settlement of the questions in
volved in the separation of the heretofore
dual kingdom.
The session was opened by KJng Oscar In
person with the usual ceremonial. The king
made a speech from the throne In which he
protested against the charge that, by vio
lation of the constitution, he had provoked
the steps taken by Norway.
In the Council of State, whfch sanctioned
the introduction of the bill. in the Riksdag
dealing with the crisis, both the king and
the premier were on the side of a specific
solution.
Premier Ramstedt spoke first, pointing
out that it was not to Sweden's interest
to resort to coercive measures. Ho rec
ommended therefore entering into negotia
tions for a convention by which guarantees
should be obtained conducive to the mil
tual welfare of the two countries. In any
case he declared negotiations were Indis
pensable to clear up the situation defl
nltoly.
The premier suggested that delegates be
appointed to this congress, as It was only
after such a conditional settlement and
after the Riksdag had fully considered the
matter that Sweden would be In a position
to decide as to Its definite approval of the
dissolution and agree to annulling the act
of union.
Klngr Oscar Speaks.
The members of the r6yal family and the
members of both houses having previously
attended divine service In the royal chapel
assembled in the Immense state hall of the
parliament building. The queen, the prtn
cesses, and the ladles of the court, who worn
evening dresses with Jewels, occupied a
gallery on the left and the diplomats, wear
lng court uniforms, were seated In the right
hand gallery, while the spaces open to the
public were filled with people.
King Oscar, arrayed In the royal robes
of purple and ermine, with the crown on
his head and the sceptre In his hand; the
princes In their robes of ermine and blue
and with their coronets on and the high
court functionaries In full uniform with
their ribbons and stars, marched In proces
slon Into the hall, while the national an
them was played. The king seated himself
on the throne, a massive high-seated struc
ture of solid silver raised on a high dais,
There, surrounded by the princes and func
tionaries, his majesty's commanding figure
and white hair under the glittering crown
his gray beard and fine cut features wear
lng an expression of great gravity at
tracted the sympathy of the whole con
course.
The state marshal, having communicated
the king's orders, gave a signal, the audi
ence arose and the king in a clear voice
which was heard throughout the hall, de
llvered his speech:
'It Is a painful step which the Council of
State calls on me to take. My conscience
tells me that I have, during my long reign
always striven toward the object I had in
mind at the time of my accession, namely
the welfare of brother peoples. It is truly
painful to me to contribute to the dlssolu
tion of a union In which I thouicht I saw
the Independence, security and happiness
of the united kingdoms. If, however, I am
ready to act thus it Is in order to avoid a
still worse evil and In the conviction that
the union without mutual accord would
bring no real advantage to Sweden."

WASHINGTON. June 21. President
Roosevelt has tnken occasion to express
himself Irf most positive terms compli
mentary ' of the Integrity and ability of
Paul Morton, former vice president of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
company, and now concluding his duties
as secretary of the navy, that he may
assume chairmanship of the board of di
rectors of the Equitable IJfe Assurance so
ciety of New York. These expressions are
contained In two letters, one addressed to
the attorney general and the other to Mr.
Morton. The letters were made public to
day hy the administration, together with
a number of others which, token together,
show the precise point of difference be
tween the Department of Justice and
Messrs. Harmon and Judson, who recently
resigned as special counsel for the gov
ernment In the rebnte case Involving the
Santa Fe rood and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company.
Violation of Law Clear.
The correspondence begun with a letter
from Messrs. Harmon and Judson to the
attorney general dated February 28, last,
in which was given a review of the testi
mony In the Colorado Fuel case before
the Interstate Commerce commission with
the conclusion that a violation of the In
junction had been shown. In part the
letter said:
From August. 1902. until December. 1904.
the railway company (referring to the
ounia t continuously transported coal
for the Colorado Fuel and Irun company
at less than the published rates then In
force, from various points In Colorado and
elsewhere to El f'aso, Tex.: Demlng,
N. M., and other places, to which places
It was interstate commerce. This was due
by secret arrangement between the two
companies under which the coal was ap
parently billed at the published rate of
freight, although, in fact, the price of the
coal was Included. The rallroud company
collected the umount shown by the bill
ing ana paia over part of it to the fuel
company as the price of the coal, making
tne real cnarge ror the transportation less
than the published rate by Just that
amount. At the same time the rates given
and charged other shippers were the pub-
nsnea larm rates without any deduction.
This plan and the way It was carried out,
plainly indicated Intention to deceive the
government and the public and to enable
the fuel company to gain a monopoly of
the coal supply at the points Involved by
giving them a strong advantage over com
petitors In the actual cost of transporta
tion. 1 he motive for thus favoring the
fuel company does not appear In the evi
dence thus far taken, but the fact Is clear.
The letter recited that only one of, the
chief officers of either company had been
called as witnesses and that no immunity
from prosecution could be claimed by any
of the other officers of either company.
No papers had bern submitted by the fuel
company and consequently no immunity
could be claimed for it. Certain ' papers
had been submitted by the railroad com
pany, but only such as are by law made
public, consequently no immunity claim
would stand thereby. Messrs. Harmon and
Judson proceeded to recommend that the
railroad company and Its principal officers
and agents, perhaps Including somo subordi
nate officers and agents to bo arraigned
fur contempt of court in making and car
rying out the agreement referred to.
Letter from Sir, Maoilr,
In a letter datod May 11, the attorney
general disapproved contempt proceedings
as suggested by special counsel. The let
ter follows:
Gentlemen: I have considered with the
utmost care your letter of April 11. U has
been submitted to llie president and con
sidered Dy mm. i think i ought to state
to you that In transmitting your letter to
the president I said:
l concur in mucn that is said in this
letter. I hive not, however, as yet been
able overcome my repugnance to pro
ceeding individually against the officers of
tne railroad ror contempt or the Injunction
without some evidence with respect to
every individual proceeded against that
he had some culpable connection with the
contempt of court."
In passing upon your recommendations
I have not been unmindful of the great
weight which is added to them by your
personal and professional standing. Nor
nave i lorgotten inai you were invited to
exercise the broadest discretion as to ner.
sons as well as corporations in dealing with
llie sunjecj commuted lo you Dy this de
partment. Nevertheless, 1 cannot escape
the responsibility by substituting the dis
cretion of others for my own. If pro
ceedings are taken against the corporation
or Individuals, they must be taken in rny
name, and what is infinitely more im
portant, with the authority that belongs
to the office which, for the time being, I
bold. I am therefore, brought face to face
with my own personal and official respon
sibility and must dlschurge It under the
circumstances, that one of the persons
affected by my decision is a colleague, in
the performance ot public duty, it is not
easy to determine with accuracy what ef
fect such a circumstance has upon the
exercise of Judgment. 1 can only say that
1 have endeavored to see that it should
have no effect, one way or the other. The
advice which you give ia that an appli
cation should be made for an attachment
for contempt for Injunction against the
railroad and Its managing officers. There
is no difference between us as to proceeding
against the corporation itself. If the
transaction set forth in the report of the
Interstate Commerce commission In regard
to the departure from the published rates
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
way system in favor of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company are within the terms of
the injunction the evidence before the
commission shows with sufficient clearness
that the injunction has been violated and
the railroad company has been guilty of
contempt of court.
But you go further and recommend pro
ceedings against the managing officers of
that company, including presumably the
president, the vice president In charge of
the traffic department, the general freight
and traffic manager, and other officers
whose duties relate to transportation of
freight, saying.
"We are clearly of the opinion that the
report of the commission, with the verified
copy of the testimony before the commis
sion, would be a sufficient basis for an
attachment In contempt against the cor
poration and its managing officers."
I have examined this report and a tran
script of the testimony taken by the com
mission. I do not find any testimony re
lating to the conduct of any except minor
officials and Mr. Ulddle, who may claim to
have obtained immunity hy testifying fully
before the commission. For Instance, to he
specific, there is not a syllable of testimony
mat Mr. ttipiey, ine president ot tne road,
or Mr. Morton, one of its vice presidents,
had any connection whatever with the de
parture from the published rates in favor
or tne Colorado r uei and iron company or
that they knew or suspected tnat trans
portation was furnished to this company in
any manner different from that prescribed
by the open and publlshet rate. Neither
of these officials was In the remotest way
referred to In the testimony or in the re
port of tne commission. Surely, it would
nut be contended that upon this statement
of facts these omclals were subject to
Denultv for contemut of court.
Your View, as I have understood It. has
been that as corporations must alwava act
through their officers and agents there is a
presumption thnt those who are charged
with the management of their affairs are
responsible for the conduct of a corporation
which violates an injunction; thnt that pre
sumption warrants an accusation for con
tempt against Its officers and agents, where
the corporation has been guilty of con
tempt, and that upon investigation testi
mony may be taken which will show
whether or not the officers accused have
themselves been gulltv of any conduct
which has allied In bringing the corporation
Into contempt of court. I do not under
stand, however, that without such evidence
you would be of opinion- that any officer or
agent would be liable to the penalty for
contempt.
After great consideration I am of the
opinion that such evidence ought to precede
the accusation and that an accusation so
grave In Its character ought not to b
made unless there appears before It Is
made some evidence in support of It. I
reallre fully that I have the power of ac
cusation and no one can question It. The
possession ot the power carries with It,
however, the responsibility for Its scrupu
lous exercise. In the facts which I have
stated I have renr-hed the conclusion that I
ought not to mnke the application for an
attachment for contempt against the offi
cers of thp railway company.
I have felt that It was due to you that
you should receive an exact statement of
the views which I entertsln and the rea
sons which have controlled my action.
I have submitted the foregoing to the
president and he authorlr.es me to say that
lie approves the conclusion which I have
reached and directs that proceedings for
contempt of the Injunction be begun against
the railroad onlv. Very respectfully,
W. II. MOODY. Attorney General.
Hon. Judson Harmon and Frederick N.
Judson, esq., Cincinnati, O.
Harmon and Judson Resign.
The letter in reply to this contains the
resignation ot Messrs. Harmon and Judson.
It was dated at Cincinnati June 6. It fol
lows: We have received and carefully consid
ered your letter of the 19th ult. and regret
that you do not approve our recommenda
tion of February 2 last, which we repeated
with further reasons In our letter of April
11. We appreciate the very great weight
to be given vour conclusion, but we are
deeply impressed with the gravity of the
matter and Its Importance as a precedent.
W'n feel, therefore, that we may. without
impropriety, refer to some things in your
letter.
It Is true that the report of the Inter
state Commerce commission merely stated
the facts which show that the law had
been violated without flttemDtillg to tlx rc
sponslblllty on any particular officer of the
railroad company. The Teason for this was
that the commission limited its Inquiry
to the mere facts of such violation and so
stated (see testimony, page 341). The viola
Hon by a corporation of an Injunction di
rected against It and its officers alwavs
calls for a rule against such of them as
had control of Its conduct to show cause
whv thev should not be held personally re
sponsible. They are prima. It was their
duty to see that the acts forbidden were
not done, as well as not to do them. The ne
cessity of this rule Is apparent as well as Its
Justice. The facts are peculiarly within the
knowledge of such officers. Except In cases
so rare that they may be called accidental
there are no means of discovering the facts
except by such a proceeding as we have
advised.
This well established rule, which Is suf
ficlent to Justify the action proposed In
any case, seemed and still seems to us pe
culiarly to fit the case In hand. A rulo
against the controlling officers of the rail
road company to show cause Is simply the
recognition by the court of tne responsi
bility Incident to their offlclol relation. It
Is a demand for an explanation and not
riooerlv sneaking, an "accusation." Tho
action of the corporation is necessarily pre
sumptative evidence against its principal
officers who had charge of the district In
question.
We fully concur that no proceeding should
be commenced without evidence, but facts

presumed or ludlclallv noticed are evl
dence. The oroceedlnaa we recommend are
not unusual or exceptional, but, on the
contrary. Is the natural and ordinary one
In such cases.
What we have said Is pecullarlytruc of
the great corporations of our day. They
cannot be Imnrlsoned and punishment oy
fine is not only Inadequate, but reaches the
real culprits only iigntiy, it at an. I ne
evils with which we are now confronted
are corporate in name, but individual in
fact. Guilt Is always personal. So long
as officials can hide behind their corpora
tions no remedy can be effective. When
the government searches out the guilty men
and makes corporate wrong-doing mean
personal punishment and dishonor, tho laws
will te obeyed.
Your opinion always commands great re
ppect, which Is by no means due to your
office alone, and we. appreciate the deep
sense of official responsibility which you
express. But , the nature and circum
stances of our appointment Impose a Cer
tain Independent responsibility upon us
which we feel would not be met by a pro
ceeding against the corporation alone.
We therefore consider that we have now
discharged the duty which you did us the
honor to entrust to us, and thanking you
most sincerely for your constant courtesy
and consideration, we remain, very re
spectfully, JFDSON HARMON.
FRANKLIN N. JUDSON.
The resignations were accepted by the at
torney general dated June 13.
In a letter to the president under date
of June 8 the case Is reviewed by the at
torney general, In which Is reiterated his
views that proceedings for a contempt
should bo begun against the railroad com
pany, but not against Its- officers. Presi
dent Roosevelt upholds this view in a
reply under date Juno 12 In which he re
views the action taken by the government
against the harvester and beef combines
and the Northern 'Securities company.
The president's letter concludes:
In both this Colorado Fuel case and In
the International Harvester company case
I direct that proceedings for contempt
against the companies be taken by the
government, whether, as the cases develop,
proceedings against individual officers be
come necessary must depend In each In
stance on wnetner testimony is obtained
showing that such Individual officer has
either by act or connivance been person
ally guilty in the matter. If there are any
railroads guilty of the practices which we
have enjoined other railroads from enjoy
ing, but which they themselves have not
enjoyed, proceedings should be begun to
put them under a similar restraint.
You have expressed your doubt as to
whether the Injunction granted Is Insuf
ficiently explicit terms to cover either tne
case of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad or tho similar case of the Interna
tional Harvester company. I aitree. how-
ver. with your feeling that even If there
is such doubt, an effort should be made
to obtain the Judgment of the court on
the question, filncerely yours,
Mr. Morton'a Letter.
Mr. Morton wrote a long letter to the
president In which he explained that the
price of the coal was included In the rate
complained of and that as soon as the
order of the eourt was issued prohibiting
this practice he Issued verbal and written
orders that It be discontinued, but that the
order had not been obeyed by his subordi
nates through an oversight. He also
stated that the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company was the only shippers Interested
In the rate and consequently there was no
discrimination. His letter concludes
Great Injustice has also been done the
management of the Atchison road in this
matter. ro railroad in the western coun
try has more clearly recognised the rights
of the public or more definitely declared
Itself at all times In favor of fair trade
relations, and no railway in the west has
made more of an effort carefully to observe
the requirements of the law. Very respect
fully. PAUL MORTON.
The correspondence concluded with a
reply from the president to Mr. Morton,
In which he says In part:
June 12. 1905. My Dear Mr. Morton: 1
have received your letter of the tth In
stant in reference to your own action con
cerning the rebates which the Interstate
Commerce commission has found to have
been granted by the Atchison Topeka A
Santa Fe railroad to the Colorado Fuel
company at the time you were vice presl
dent of the railroad. Not a shred of tes
ttmonv so far as I know has been Die
sented from any source, whether by the
Interstate Commerce commission or by
the special counsel employed by the de
partment of Justice, which personally im
plicates you in granting these rebates. In
,your letter you show not only that you
were Ignorant of the existence of such
rebates, but that you had taken every pos
sible step to see that neither in this case
nor in any other were any rebates granted
and you quote documents which show that
your subordinates were repeatedly and ex
plicitly warned to obey the law as regards
these rebates, as well as in all other re
spects. With this showing on your part
and in view ot the fact that, as I have
said, not a shred of testimony has been
produced against you from any source
whatever, I do not think that you need pay
anv further heed to the accusations that
have been made against you. With earnest
good wiine, mimruiiy yours,

a tribute to Carroll D. Wright, president
of the college, as well as to the late United
States Senator George Frlsble Hoar. At
Holy Cross he addressed a large body of
students on' the athletic fields, many of
whom stood In the rain, a canvas shelter
erected there being insufficient to cover
the crowd.
In spite of the rain the president rode In
an open carriage. The cheering multitude
gave him no opportunity to sit. From the
moment of his entering the carriage the tu
mult was Incessant, and as the parade
moved President Roosevelt remained with
head bare, bowing to the people.
Talk at t olleae.
Carroll D. Wright of Clarke college, at
tended by members of the faculty, received
President Roosevelt at the west entrance
of tho college and ushered htm directly to
the private office of President Wright,
where about fifteen minutes were devoted
to an informal reception. The academic
procession was then formed and the march
taken to the chapel, where the first com
mencement exercises of the college, which
the president had come to honor, were
held. After the party had taken places on
the platform the audience was seated and
Rev. Dr. George Harris, president of Anv
herst college, offered the Invocation. Dr.
Hamilton W. Mable delivered the oration
of the day. After music President Wright,
while the audience stood, Introduced Mr,
Roosevelt simply as "the president."
President Roosevelt spoke briefly, ad
dressing himself to "President Wright and
President Hall, Graduates of the Unlver
slty and the College and Men and Women
of Worcester."
In part, he said:
I shall do little except by way of illus
tration of tne admiraoie address to which
we have Just listened from Dr. Mable.
What the speaker said applies thoroughly
to two men. because of whom I am here
today. , Senator Hoar, two years ago. In
duced me to promise to come he on this
occasion to greet President Writ, as the
head of this college. Coming from such a
man and for such another man, I could
not refuse the request.
Praise for Hoar.
Turning to Dr. Mable, the president con
tinued: "With Senator Hoar was realized
Mr. Mable, your picture of the public serv
ant."
Addressing President Wright, Mr. Roose
velt said: "I cannot speak of you as !
would like to speak today, and as I hope
you may live a long time yet. It may be a
long time before I shall be able to say
what I would like to say.
He gave to the country," the president
resumed, turning again to the audience and
referring to President Wright, "the kind
of service no money possibly could buy. It
was not merely what he did at the head of
his department, but It was the way In
which he did it and the Influence which he
exerted which made htm so valuable to tho
country."
At the conclusion of President Roosevelt'a
address tho degrees of the college were con
ferred by President Wright and those of
the university by President Hall. President
Roosevelt received the degree of doctor of
laws from the university. The presidential
party then retired and soon afterward left
for Holy Cross college.
Speaks at Holy Crosa.
The president was received at Holy
Cross by Rev. Joseph F. Hanselman, head
of the Institution. The corridors were
filled with students and invited guests
who began cheering the moment the presi
dent appeared. He was escorted to the
platform of tho assembly hall upon which
already were seated the alumni, the fac
ulty of the college and a number of other
citizens of Worcester. President Hansel
man Introduced the president as "the
most popular executive soldier and peace
maker." Applause rang through the hall
as the president began to express his
pleasure at being the guest of Holy Cross.
He praised the work of Holy Cross and
concluded by saying:
'In America we have been given ex
tremely good advantages and we have no
excuse when we do not do our duty at
home and abroad."
Following the president's address Presi
dent Hansolman presented the diplomas to
the graduates, each ot whom was intro
duced to President Roosevelt and was
given a cordial handshake by the execu
tive. After the exercises the president and
his party were driven to the home of Rep
resentative Rockwood Hoar, where an in
formal luncheon was served. Immediately
after the luncheon the president and his
associates took the train for Willlamstown
where, tomorrow, he will receive a degree
from Williams college.

REPRESENTATIVE GCV. HMENT HAS BEGUN

Have Power In the
Nation,
ST. PETERSBURG, June 21.-12:40 p. m.
The Impression produced by Emperor Nich
olas' speech Monday at Peterhof to the del
egation representing the all-Russian con
gress of zemstvolsts and mayors which as
sembled at Moscow Is reflected In tho Joy
ful acclaim with which it has been received
by the Russian press. The question of
peace and reports that another great battle
has begun in Manchuria have become of
secondary importance In the public mind
before the great fact that the emperor has
again pledged himself to popular represen
tation. The Russ declares that the history
of representative government In Russia
dates from Whit-Monday. "A hundred
commissions elaborating schemes for re
form," the paper continues, "could not in
spire the people with as much hope in the
future of Russia as the emperor's words to
the delegation, whose members were char
acterised by the reactionaries as traitors,
conspirators and revolutionists. Tho fight
Is not yet won. The bureaucracy will not
capitulate without a further struggle, but
the most Important step for political regen
eration has been taken."
The Novoe Vremya thinks that this re
newed assurance direct from the throne
"Imposes the obligation on all classes of
society which have the welfare of Russia
at heart to unite for the suppression of the
agitation which Is shaking the foundations
of the country."
Answer of People Is Plain.
The text of Prince Troubetskoy's address
to the emperor when his majesty received
the delegation which the latter headed Is
now published, It reveals the plain-spoken
yet withal perfectly loyally fashion when
he spoke to the emperor, telling him of the
universal distrust which pervaded all
classes attrlbutal to the conviction that his
majesty was being deceived by those about
him who were Interested not In the realiza
tion, but In the destruction of the proposed
reforms. Prince Troubetskoy rose above
details. He said those whom he represented
had not presumed to Indicate the exact
form of national representation demanded,
but one principle they regarded as vital,
namely, that the representation should be
bnsed on universal citizenship in which no
class should be excluded.
"It must not bo based updn estates," the
prince continued. "You are the emperor
not of the land owners, merchants or peas
ants, but of all Russia. The bureaucracy
which has a place In every government
must have a place in yours, but the na
tional representation must be Independent
of the bureaucracy which must not be al
lowed to build a wall between you and the
people. Your majesty will realize that
when you stand face to face with the peo
ple's delegates."
In conclusion, the prince declared it was
absolutely necessary that facilities should
be afforded both in the press and at public
meetings for the discussion of a reform
which so closely touched the people not
only after the representatives met, but
now. The renovation of the government
he pointed out must be built on confidence.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
The following Is a literal translation of the
speech delivered by M. Ivanoff. the cele
brated Russian lawyer, at the trial of Ka

tribunal composed of members of the ruling
senate and was held behind closed doors at
Moscow. Ivanoff was subsequently arrested
for discussing the trial at a meeting of bar

hundreds of thousands by the social revolu

stand out before all else the death of the

Modern surgery Is accomplishing results
never dreamed of by the older surgeons
of the past generation. Scientists are dis

The invention of an apparatus for the
production and administration of Oxyolln
for the PREVENTION and CURE of
