DEATH OF PIEMAN
NEARlNG
SOLUTION
Coroner and Brother Disap
pear in Quest of Further
Light on Mystery.
NEW EVIDENCE PROMISED
Iawjers Continue to Question Poi
soning Theory Natural Death,
Suicide and Accident. Pre
sented a Alternatives.
CHICAGO, April 1. Spee1al.) A
complete solution of the mystery
shrouding the arsenical poisoning of
Alexander J. Moody, the pie manufac
turer, on Sunday, February 20, at his
home is declared by Coroner Hoffman
and Assistant Chief of Police Schuet
tler to be in sight as the result of
important facts which the assistants
of the Coroner and the Assistant Chief
of Police and relatives of Moody have
discovered.
State's Attorney Wayman, who, after
a conference with his assistants, Victor
P. Arnold, Thomas Marshall and John
T. Fleming, began to take a personal
Interest in the case, declined today to
state what the result of his examina
tion of Agnes Hartwick, the Moody
housemaid, late yesterday afternoon
proved to be.
The Prosecutor has not decided
whether he will send for Mrs. Anna
Moody, the widow, and Peter Peterson,
to question them.
Officials in Harmony.
"There is nothing that I will say
about the inquiry at this time," said
Mr. Wayman. "All that can be said is
that the Coroner, the police and the
State's Attorney's office are working in
harmony upon the mystery.'
Coroner Hoffman detailed some of his
detectives to run down a report that
the victim on several occasions had
confided to his friends that he feared
for his life.
It became known this morning that
the police .had discovered the where
abouts of Annie Anderson, formerly a
tmaid at the Moody home, and had
put her through a rigid examination
in an effort to learn something about
the domestic life of Mrs. Moody and
her late husband.
"We didn't learn much from her,"
Bald the Assistant Chief.. "She did not
throw any light on the mysterious
death and only gave us information
. relating to the nome life of the
Moodys."
Murder Theory Questioned.
Attorneys Edward Maher and James
!. Bynum continued to question the
(act that arsenic was found in Moody's
stomach and both insisted that the
theories of natural death, suicide or
accidental poisoning are more probable
in the case of Moody's death than is
the theory that he was murdered.
Coroner Hoffman, following his an
nouncement that he would leave the
city in an effort to secure valuable
evidence which Prank Moody, brother
of the poisoned man, had discovered,
has disappeared. The brother, who has
done much to secure evidence to sup
port the charge that Alexander J.
Moody was murdered, is reported to
have left the city with the Coroner.
"The Coroner will return with valua
ble evidence," said Deputy Coroner
Jones. "The case is slowly clearing
up and there is much new evidence
forthcoming."
JAP SPIES MAY GO FREE
Local Philippine Government Seeks
Law Thut Applies.
WASH1XGTOS. April l. The War
Department has turned over to the lo
cal Philippine government the prose
cution of the two Japanese alleged to
have been engaged in securing plans
for the fortifications of Corregidor,
Manila harbor, through the bribery of
Joseph 1. Saxe. an American soldier.
This has been done in the hope that
the local attorneys In Manila may be
able to find some section that will
serve to bring about punishment of
he offenders, whom the United States
code does not touch.
It is quite evident, however, that the
charge of bribery will not hold, as the
Supreme Court has ruled that the
"bribe must bp offered to an official.
Of course. Private Saxe can and prob
ably will he tried by hillltary court
martial, but it does not seem probable
That there will be any way of punish
ing the Japanese if found guilty.

RATE FIGHT IN HIGH COURT
Famous Missouri River Case to Be
Heard Next "Week.
WASHINGTON, April 1. The biggest
freight rate fight, since the passage of
the Hepburn rate bill, entered its final
stages today when the Government tiled
in the Supreme Court of the United
6tates a brief in the so-called Missouri
River rate cases. They involve the in
terests of manufacturers, jobbers, mer
chants and railroads from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Rocky Mountains.
The two cases which have attracted
the most attention are those concerning
the through class rates on through
shipments originating at Atlantic sea
board points and destined to the Mis
souri River cities. The third case in
volves the class rates from Chicago and
from St. Louis to Denver.
The first two cases arise out of an or
der issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to become effective Novem
ber 10, 1908. This order directed a re
duction of the rates for the transporta
tion of various classes of freight, origi
nating at Atlantic seaboard points, from
Mississippi River crossings to the Mis
souri River cities.
The order is the result of complaints
filed by a prominent Middle West dry
goods firm and a large number of ia
dividuals, partnerships and corpora
tions' of Kansas City, St. Joseph and
Omaha,
The complaints declared that the
rates charged by carriers operating
between the Atlantic seabord and Mis
souri River points were unjust, un
reasonable and discriminatory, espe
cial favor being shown St, Paul and
Minneapolis. In its original decision the
Commission denied the latter charge
of favor being shown the Twin Cities.
The fight in the courts has been long
and . has gathered momentum as it
progressed, such cities as Chicago, St.
Louis, Detroit, Cleveland and Milwau
kee taking part in the fray. In these
cities shippers have joined with the
railroads, opposing a reduction in the
rates.
Meanwhile the Government is seek
ing to maintain the order of the Com
mission. Even if it. is successful, the
order will die, by reason of the two
year limitation on the life of the In
terstate Commerce Commission rate or
ders, on November 10. 1910.
Tie Denver rate case raises substan
tially the same questions as to the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, as is done in the other
cases. The arguments are set for Mon
day, but they probably will notbe
reached until later in the week.
GLASS TRUST PROBED
FEDERAL GRAND JURY BUSY IN
PITTSBURG.
Imperial Company Is Said to Control
Output of 33 Factories in
Eleven States.
PITTSBURG, April 1. It was learned
tonight that after three months' investi
gation. Federal officers are ready to pre
sent to a special grand jury here next
Monday evidence that the Imperial Win
dow Glass Company is a trust in viola
tion of the Sherman act.
The corporation formed under the laws
of West Virginia, is said to. control 33
large window-glass factories in 11 dif
ferent states.
The company has offices in Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michi
gan, North Carolina, New York. Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Many
prominent glass manufacturers from
these states are said to have been served
with subpenas to appear before the grand
jury as witnesses.
United States District Attorney Jordan
said tonight:
"The Investigation of the Imperial
Window Glass Company has been under
way for 90 days, and agents of the De
partment of Justice have visited every
one of the 33 plants operated under the
charter of the company.
-"The company was Incorporated in
West Virginia early this year, and its
alleged control of the window-glass busi
ness is to be investigated with intent
to show that it is a monopoly in restraint
of trade.
"The Imperial Window Glass Company
is a holding organization, the manufac
turers pooling their output and selling
through the company exclusively. Prices
have been compared with those of the
American Window Glass Company and
there is but slight difference."

FACTIONS DIVIDE
OVER LAP BILLS
Republicans Have Two Meas
ures; Democrats Present
One of Their Own.
VALIDATION MADE ISSUE
Xeteon Bill Would Give President
Absolute Authority to Make
Withdrawals for Iurpose
of Classification.
WASHINGTON, April L Three fac
tions of the House committee on public
lands today pulled and hauled a.t the
Administration bill for the withdrawal
of public land-s for conservation purposes.
Republicans from public land states, who
object to any change in public land poli
cies, and Republicans who are followers
of another conservation programme could
not come to an agreement as between -the
two bills.
In the end the Democrats denounced,
both measures as being designed to give
the present and past administrations
clean bills of health in relation to the
administration of the land laws. They
then introduced a bill of their own.
Republican Factions Disagree.
Republicans were divided in support
of the oiU introduced in the Senate by
'Mr. Nelson, which would give the Presi
dent absolute authority to withdraw lands
for conservation purposes or classifica
tion, and the bill Introduced In the House
by Mr. Pilckett, of Iowa, which would
accomplish the same purpose and in addi
tion validate all past withdrawals. Both
measures would provide the withdrawals
remaining in force until revoked by the
President or by act of Congress.
After the Democrats on the commit
tee assailed the attitude of both factions
of the Republicans, the latter faction at
tempted to reach an agreement and it
was reported tonight that Mr. Pickett
rwould consent to the elimination of that
portion of his bill specifically validating
past withdrawals by the Interior De
partment. Validation Voted XTn necessary.
The latter clause, it is said, was in
tended to ' validate certain withdrawals
made under the Koosavelt administration.
It had been charged in debates on the
floor of both houses that many of those
withdrawals were without authority of
law. That contention was i ejected by the
Senate committee on public lands and
the validition of past acts was declared
to be unnecessary.
The statement issued by the Demo
cratic members says that their bill au
thorizes the President to make withdraw
als of public lands for classification and
other purposes, requires reports be
made to Congress of withdrawals, and
provides for the classification of with
drawn lands.
Classification Is Demanded.
The primary purpose of the Adminis
tration bills relating to the withdrawals
of public lands," it says, seems to be to
validate existing withdrawals and thus
give the Interior Department and the
Administration a clean bill of health.
"While the withdrawal bill is to be
labelled 'Conservation it, in fact, ac
complishes nothing toward that end, and
merely gives the President an express
power which the Interior Department for
many years has been exercising. No
measure merely legalizing (withdrawals Is
a true conservation measure.
"Classification is a primary and very
important step towards intelligent hand
ling of the public domain and without it
Congress will be forced to proceed as in
the past, hy permitting the Interior De
partment to perform functions that prop
erly belong to Congress."
POWER SITES ARE WITHDRAWN
Washington and Idaho Iandd With
held by Ballinger.
WASHINGTON, April 1. In aid of pro
posed legislation affecting the disposal
of waterpower sites on the public do
main, Secretary Ballinger today tempor
arily withdrew from all forms of dis
position 5823 acres along the Lemhi
River, Idaho, and 4115 acres along the
Columbia River, "Wash.
Approximately 42,750 acres of land in
Montana was designated for settlement
under the enlarged homestead act. This
land, it was said, was not susceptible of
successful irrigation at a reasonable cost
from any known source of water supply.
This makes a total of 2S.88S.240 acres In
Montana designed for settlement under
the act.
The coal lands withdrawals from the
public domain, it was announced, include
large areas within unopened Indian and
military reservations. As such with
drawals are without effect, Mr. Ballinger
has cancelled them to clear the record.
These lands were already withheld from
entry because they were within Indian
or military reserves, and their Inclusion
within coal land withdrawals was a dupli
cation of their reservation. The total
area Involved in the correction of the
records was SH.364 acres, located in reser
vations in New Mexico. Colorado, Utah,
North Dakota, "Washington and Mon

Missouri, referring to the Gillett pro
visions, "should be entitled, "An amend
ment to Get the Republican Party Out of
a Hole. Under this provision, no one
will have access to these reports of cor
porations except the President and his
advisers, which Is a dangerous proposi
tion. Human nature has been the same
since the time Adam and Eve ware
driven from- Paradise, and in the course
of time somebody might use this infor
mation for a political purpose."
Mr. Payne said publicity could not be
accorded in response to mere curiosity
and he be1ie-ed the Gillett amendment
would accomplish all desirable publicity.
Mr. Hitchcock of Nebraska suggested
the head of the department in which the
Information on corporations had been
gathered, had become the head of the
Republican campaign committee two
years ago. and the "great trust buster"
of Ohio, "Wade H. Ellis, had been taken
from the prosecution of corporations and
placed in charge of the campaign in
Ohio.
Politicians Max Abuse Power.
Those examples of activity in politics
of men who possessed information re
garding corporations, he said, should be
remembered when considering pending
legislation.
Mr. Sherley. of Kentucky, parting com
pany with his party associates, declared
the publicity feature of the corporation
tax law could not be defended.
Mr. Harrison, of New York, reminded
the House that while the present occu
pant of the White House was a. "benign
President,"' the time might come when
he would be "a malign President," and
then the danger of trusting to him alone
to make public these corporation matters
would be seen.
The previous question was ordered by
a vote of 143 to TO. the "insurgents" vot
ing with the regular Republicans. By
a vote of 132 to 133 Mr. Gilletfs substitute
was adopted.
Republicans Vote Against.
Mr. Fitzgerald introduced a sensation
into the consideration of the corporation
publicity amendment by moving to re
commit the legislative, executive and
judicial bill to the committee on appro
priations, with Instructions for that com
mittee to report it iwlth an amendment
repealing the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
A long search of precedents was re
Quired to determine whether the reso
lution was in order. After an extended
explanation of the parliamentary ques
tion, the Speaker ruled the motion to
recommit was not in order. The decision
was appealed from, but the House, by
a vote of ISO to 116, voted to sustain the
Speaker. The insurgents voted with the
regulars.
The publicity amendment was then
sent back to the conferees for further
consideration.

possible toward the construction of for

man Copp. "If San Pedro harbor be
strongly fortified, it will be possible to
have several companies of Coast Artil

lery companies at San Francisco, one at
Oakland and another at San Diego. The
entire coast is practically defenseless
at the present time."
LIABILITY BILL AMENDED
Removal of Damage Suits From
Federal Courts Prohibited.
WASHINGTON, Apr-Jl 1. The Senate
again today took up the House bill
amending the employers' liability law
and It was the subject of much con
tention. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, sought to
have the bill so amended as to make
a railroad a citizen of every state it
traverses, so as to prevent the trans
fer of damage suits from state to Fed
eral courts. Later, however, he with
drew the provision in favor of an
amendment suggested by Senator
Paynter, of Kentucky, prohibiting the
removal of damage suits from state
courts. Ultimately the Paynter amend
ment was agreed to.

today appeared before the House com
mittee on territories and protested
against the passage of the bill recom
mended by Secretary Ballinger provid
ing for trye establishment of a Govern

treatment of the insane of that terri
tory. Between 150 and 200 Alaskan insane
are now cared for under contract at
Dr. Coe's sanitarium near Portland, at
