. Chicago, Sept 23. The prosecu
tion of the railroads for the viol
ation of the Eikins law relating to
giving and receiving of rebates will
follow the pleading guilty of the
four representatives of the Sulzber
ger & Swarzschild Company yes
terday to a charge of aspiring to
receive illegal rebates from the rail
roads. Authority for this statement
is District Attorney Morrison, and
he was emphatic in. his declaration
that the government would go after
the railroads.
In view of the sudden determin
ation of the government to proceed
against the railroads, it is believed
tonight that somebody has "squeal
ed" and the government has eecor
ed highly important evidence. Pro
ceedings against the railroads
require a seperate campaign,
indictments, new grand jury
th railing from all parts of
counu y new witnesses.

Portland, Oregon, Oct. 25, 1905
The two Mason Jar caps has been examined. Upon examination the metal of the
new Mason cap was found to be pure zinc. :The small pin holes in the old Mason cap
were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the
jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds. .
1 regard the use of jars with zinc caps aa very unsanitary and even dangerous.
Yours very truly,
J. W. BAILEY,
State t)airy and Food Commissioner.
. London, Spt. 26. Interesting
incidents of the experiences of the
Englishmen connected with the oil
industry of Baku are reaching their
relatives in England. Williams,
one of the four Englishmen rescued
from a mob at Balakban, wnes
that the stories of the horrors give
but a feeble idea 01 the actual oc
currences. He adds;
I was shut up in my place at
Zabratt for five days without any
water except naizan or local miner
al water. All the people here were
crying and fainting. All around
were fires and rifle shots. Ten Ar
menians were killed out of those in
our own yard. You could not walk
a yard without several shots being
fired at you. We tried to save the
wounded but the Bbooting was too
general and we had to give up the
attempt." :

Portland, Sept. 27 After being
out lees than 6 hours, the third
jury which heard the testimony of
the government against Congress
man Williamson, Dr. Gesner,
Williamson's partner in the live
stock business, and Marion R. Biggs
a Prineville attorney, at one time
register of the federal land office,
at that place, tonight found all
three guilty of having entered into
nnnnnfrftrtv tn snhorn nprinrir hv

inducing locators to fraudulently
file on government land, providing '
tnem witn toe money to do so, un
der agreement that these persons
convey title to Williamson and Ges
ner when the patent was secured
from the government.
Shortly before 11 o'clock notice
was sent Marshal Reed an agree
ment had been reached, and Judge
Hunt, District Attorney Heney,
the defendants and attorneys were
snmmoned to the federal court
room.
It was five minutes after 11 when
Judge Hunt ascended the bench;
Williamson, Gesner and Biggs pre
viously arrived with their attorneys
Heney did not arrive in court, be
fore the verdict was read.
Judge Hunt immediately order
ed the jury brought into the court
and received the verdict from the
foreman. He opened it, handed it
to the clerk of the court who read:
"In the name of the Uoited
States against John N. Williamson,
Van Gesner, and Marion R. Biggs.
' We, the jury, find the defend
ants guilty as charged."
Judge Hunt addressed a few
words to the jury, thanking them
for their patience and attention
during the three weeks which it
has taken to try the case, and dis
charged them.
Save for the silence of the solem
nity attending the occasion there
was nothing drama'ic in the event.
Even less so than at the two pre
vious trials, when disagreements
were relumed. Williamson Bat
slightly apart from the other de
fendants, rocking his chair back
and forth, apparently less concern
ed than the flushed and embarrass
ed jury during the reading of the
verdict. Gesner and Biggs with
several friends, sat in the front of
the rail at the rear of the bar, anl
rivalled Williamson in immutabil
ity of countenance.
Judge Bennett, attorney for the
delendaotp, moved the defendants
be given a tew trial- Judge Hunt
put the matt-r of heariog the mo
tion off and the court adjourned.
The case, wbrch this ii the
third trial, commenced September
5. Little testimony was introduc
ed differing from that of the two
previous trial?, and in the main,
the arguments cf the attorneys
were the Fame. Heney finished
his argument in rebcttal late to
day and Tudge Hunt delivered the
chargo to the jury, alter which it
retired to deliberate.
