BEER FOUFiD IH DRY TOP
CAHI.OAD OF noOZK CAPTURED
BY ALBANY TOLICK.
J'roprictors of "Near-Beer" Kinpor
i ii in Arrested and Wet Goods
Confiscated.
AL.3AXV. Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.) A
diayload of booze was located in legally
tlry" Albany this afternoon by local of
ficers, who raided two alleged "blind
pifss." Chief of Police Ries and Officer
.Vunkers raided a "near beer" emporium
on Ferry street and besides the stock of
near beer on hand they found a large sup
ply of the real article, including four dne
sallon kegs, one full barrel and three half
barrels of bottled beer. The capture ln
rlui?d a large supply of empty bottles
and saloon glasses. The officers arrested
the proprietor. James Blackburn, tend
ti:s bartender, Frank Patterson.
At tiie same time this raid was In
progress. Sheriff Smith and City Officer
Fox entered the Fashion Stables, at Sec
ond and Washington streets, and found
a fujl barrel of bottled beer and another
bart. l half full, with enough empty bot
tles on the floor to exactly fill the barrel.
No arrests were made In this place as
the proprietor. Albert Peacock, was out
vt the city, driving on a Jivery trip, but
a warrant was issued and he will be ar
Trstnl upon his return to the city to-
JliCilC.
.o whisky was captured In either place.
The officers secured a dray to carry the
captured beer to the City Recorders of
fice and it was well loaded.
Blackburn and Patterson furnished
bonds of $lnO each to appear tomorrow
before City Recorder Redtleld and answer
to a charge of violation of a city ordi
nance, which embodies the provisions of
the local option law and also permits the
confiscation of captured liquor.
ONLY ONE ALTERNATIVE
Cither Liberal Policy or Guarantee
Dividends to Railroads.
CHICAGO. Dec. 11. B. F. V oakum, of
the Rock Island-Frisco lines, who spoke
Wednesday night before the Chicago As
sociation of Commerce on "Our Country
and Our Railroads." yesterday supple
mented his remarks by a statement that
"unless the National and state govern
ments will pursue a sufficiently, liberal
policy with respect to the railroads to
enabie them to secure earnings which
will warrant them In developing the coun
try, there Is only one other solution of
the transportation problem. That solu
tion Is for the Government to guarantee
a certain percentage of return on capital
invested In railroad ventures."
Mr. Yoakum, however, did not wish to
be understood as favoring such a guar
antee by the Government, and he ex
pressed the belief that the policy of both
the Nation and the states will be more
liberal when the questions Involved are
better understood. Explaining his alter
native. Mr. Yoakum said:
"The people of this country should re
member that during the last B0 years the
railroads have increased their mileage by
;00.000 miles and at an expenditure of
private capital amounting to approxi
mately J13.000.OO0.000. We all agree that
the country west of Chicago will need at
least 100.000 additional miles of railroad,
probably 200.000 miles, to fully develop
It. You know there are regions which
have great possibilities for development
which are nearly 100 miles from transpor
tation." Mr. Yoakum said he thought It could
be truthfully said that the earnings of
the main Western roads are again at
normal.
"Some .railway heads," he declared,
"believe that the normal earning condi
tion in the West Is only temporary. I
believe It Is here to stay."
MAY NOT SUBMIT EVIDENCE
Standard Oil Likely to Refuse to
Give Further Testimony.
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. Hligo C. Wass
man, who had charge of the lubricating
business of the Standard Oil Company
of California, was the principal witness
here today in the Government's dissolu
tion suit. He testified that he left the
employ of the Standard Oil Company of
California in 1903. and afterward was
employed by the Southern Refining Com
pany and Puente Oil Company. The
Standard, he said, never allowed him to
cut prices, but the Southern and Puente
companies did allow him to do so.
On . cross-examination, Frank B. Kel
logg, the Government's counsel, asked
Mr. Wassman If he ever heard of a con
tract by which the Standard was to buy
150.0i0 barrels of the Puente Company's
product every three months, and if tba
Standard did not sell the Puente Com
pany's product under an agreement, that
the Puente was to refine no oil.
Mr. Wassman said he had heard the
Standard was selling Puente oil. but he
knew nothing of the contract. The price
of oil In Los Angeles was Increased by
the Standard from 10 to 12 cents per gal
lon In 1903, he said, after which the
Puente began to refine oil and cut the
price.
It developed today that the Standard
Oil Company may not submit any further
evidence in its defense to the Govern
ment's suit to have the so-called trust
dissolved. Today's session of the court
adjourned rather abruptly upon request
of counsel for the Standard, who asked
that they be allowed until Monday to
check up evidence already in and de
cide whether it would be necessary for
them to summon more witnesses. The
request was granted.
Adjournment was then taken until
Monday. It Is understood that after a
brief session on Monday, further ad
journment will be taken until after Jan
uary 1.

Robbery Motive of Assailants.
Money Found Later ConcealeoMn
Clothes and Mattress.
ST. HELENS, Or., Dec. fl. (Special.)
Robert Livingstone, who for about
ten years has had charge of the North
ern Pacific Railroad yards at Goble.
was murderously assaulted at an early
hour this morning, and is now at the
St. Vincent's Hospital in Portland.
Livingstone, who is about 60 years
old and a bachelor, lived Just above
Reuben, and three-quarters of a mile
from J. H. Gross' residence. Gross,
the section foreman, finding at 7
o'clock In the morning that the switch
lights had not been extinguished, went
to Livingstone's house and found the
old man lying on the floor. He was
unconscious and terribly beaten about
the head and face, the skull bone be
ing fractured. Gross notified Deputy
Sheriff Fowler, who telephoned to
Sheriff White at St. Helens, and was
Instructed to take the wounded man
to Portland, the Sheriff meeting him
at Houlton.
The physicians at the hospital con
sider Livingstone's injuries fatal and
do not believe he will recover con
sciousness before death. There ap
pears to be no clew to the criminals.
Livingstone's watch and pocketknlfe
were taken. In his vest pocket was
$65 in bills, while In the colled springs
of the mattress was a further sum of
$360. which fell out as the Injured man
was being carried from the house on a
mattress stretcher.
It is thought the object of assault
was robbery. Sheriff White has gone
to Goble to examine the premises. Liv
Ingstone was a sober, peaceful man.
DENY GRAFTERS RETRIAL
Defendant in Pennsylvania Capitol
Case Must Stand Conviction.
HARRISBURG, Pa.. Dec. 11. A new
trial was refused to four of the defend
ants In the Capitol conspiracy case today
by Judge George Kunkel In the Dauphin
County Court, before which the men had
been tried. The defendants are: John
H. Sanderson, contractor for the furnish
ings and decorations in the J13.0o0.Oi0
Capitol; James S. Shoemaker, Johns
town, Pa., who was Superintendent of
the Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings; William P. Snyder, former Auditor-General
of the State, and William
L. Mathues, former State Treasurer.
These men with Joseph M. Huston, of
Philadelphia, the architect of the great
building, were charged with conspiracy
to cheat and defraud the state in con
nection with furnishing and decorating
the Capitol, but Huston secured a sev
erance, and his trial has not yet come
up. The four defendants were tried last
Spring and were convicted. They ap
pealed for a new trial, but argument was
not heard until after the court had dis
posed of a second conspiracy trial, la
which the defendants in the first caflf
were also among the accused and wern
acquitted. Several other defendants, of
whom there were H In all, remain to bo
tried. One defendant was compelled to
go to a sanitarium, having broken down
mentally during the trial.
The Capitol scandal Is one of the out
comes of the political revelations ill 1M",
following which a Democratic Statu
Treasurer was elected. He discovered
Irregularities and the indictments fol
lowed. In all 112 reasons for a new trial
were urged. Most of the reasons charge. I
errors by the court. The defendants wl'l
appear for sentence next Friday, when
appeals1 to the State Supreme Court will
be taken.
