J PROCEED -TO" INDICT
Moody Prepares to Act Against
Standard Oil.
QUESTION OF IMMUNITY
Trust's Reply Indicates Nature of
Defense Further Sections of Re
port Will Make More In
teresting Disclosures.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-OpeciaJ.)
President Roosevelt now proposes to pur
sue vigorously the cases against the
Standard Oil Company. The evidence ob
tained by the Commissioner of Corpora
tions has been rushed over to the De
partmcnt of Justice and the immediate
consideration is what kind of indictments
Btmll h naked for. Officials say the
cases, ho far as rebates are concerned,
are plain enough, but the question is still
open as to whether the Sherman anti
trust law can be applied. That is regard
ed as more drastic and effective than the,
etHtute providing imprisonment for con
spiracy. It is probable that the indict
ments will be drawn by the Attorney
General himself.
The reply of Archbold and Rogers to
the fulminations of the President Is re
garded us ominous, especially their
claims that, the Standard Oil Company
furnished the information and the "man
with the muckrake" did the rest. If that
means anything to the Department of
Justice, it is that the' Standard Oil is
about to eet up the Immunity plea that
was made by the beef trust successfully.
It is inconceivable here, however, that
Air. Garfield should have committed the
error of either himself getting the. in
formation or allowing his agents to get
Information directly from the Standard
Company.
Yesterday's report related to the
freight rutes only. Six additional sec
tions of the report are to come, and the
Senate wants them Immediately. It Is
understood that they will be even more
interesting than that submitted.
The department understands that sev
eral st rites will bcKhi prosecutions in
consequence, of the Garfield report and
hopes that states will move independent
ly of the general Government. At least
five states have an excellent opportunity
to begin prosecutions.
erators. It Is charged that threats have
been made to producers that if they did
not use the Standard's pipes they would
be cut off from a market when the in
dependent pipe lines should be forced to
suspend operations. Testimony is said
also to be in the Attorney-General's pos
session of methods alleged to have been
adopted to restrict the production of
wells and refineries.
HIS TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD
J. A. Clcmenson Tells of High Qual
ities of Louis Blumauer.
J. A. C'lemenson. the druggist, speaks
highly of louis Blumauer, who died at
the Hotel Portland on Friday evening.
During nearly nine years that he has
been in business in Portland he ha lealt
extensively with the Blumauer-Frank
Drug Company, of which Mr. Blumauer
was the head, and as Mr. Clemenson
says: "I have always found Louis Blu
mauer a man of the strictest integrity
and of the most sterling worth."

nies Giving KelmCes to Standard.
l'lill.ADKLl'IUA. .May 5. Vice-President
Haxen, of the lVnnsylvanta, today
made the following ptatement concern
ing; the report of Commissioner Garfield
in the Standard Oil inquiry:
"The report of Commissioner Gartield,
so far as It refers to our company in its
relations with the traffic of the Standard
Oil Company, is an inexcusable, outra
Keous perversion of the facts.
"It is true that there has been in effect
a special rate of 0 cents per barrel on oil
from Clean to Rochester, and it has not
been withdrawn. This rate was originally
made in 1SSS by the Western New York
& Pennsylvania nailroad. 12 years before
the acquisition of that company by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, in order to retain
to the railroad traffic which would oth-
erwise have gone by pipe line. It is not
i secret and it never has been secret. I he
tariff was not filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission because it applies
to traftic solely within the state.
"As to the so-called saving of S115.000 In
1904, I presume this is based on the differ
ence between the special rate and the
regular classification rate. This conveys
the impression that a larjse sum of money
was Illegitimately given by the railroad,
which, in view of the facts above ex
plained, is manifestly not trite.
m "Hcierence is made to blind billing,' as
if It were some secret device. This also is
untrue. The. explanation of so-called
'blind billing' Is very simple. Killing is
another name used by railroads for manifesting-,
which is a record ot the ship
ment made for use only of the railroad
company in making proper movement of
the trafilc and taking proper account of
it. The public never sees a manifest, be
ing Interested only In the bill of lading
and fieiyht bill.
All Within One Slate.
"The term 'blind' is used when mani
fests are made without the detulls being
shown, a practice not infrequent and not
peculiar to the oil traftic. Its purpose is
to save clerical work. This was fully ex
plained to Commissioner Garfield's rep
resentative, and it was clearly shown him
In the. case under discussion that the ac
tual freight money reqidred by the issued
rate was collected and retained by the
railroad company.
"After an exhaustive examination by
the Department of Contnierce, our books
and accounts being freely produced both
or. stale and Interstate traffic, it apiears
the only case that Commissioner Garrteld
was able to present for criticism In all
our relations with the Standard Oil Com
pany Is the rate on oil between Glenn ami
Rochester, two points In toe Slate of
New York, a distance of 100 miles apart,
at each of which points are located re
flnerien of the Standard Oil Company and
between which a pipe line could readily
have been constructed.
No ltebntes on Sugar.
"In the message from the President.
transmitting the report of Commissioner
Garfield, reference is made to the rela
tions of tlie railroad to the so-called
'sugar trust' at New York and to Infor
mation communicated to the President
that the so-called 'sugar trust' rarely if
ever pays the lawful rate for transporta
tion. As the Pennsylvania Railroad is
known to participate largely in the car
riage of tills traftic. It would necessarily
follow that such information applied to
that company, and. in view of this, it is
eminently proper that answer thereto
should be promptly made on that com
pany's behalf. Having personal knowl
edge. I deny most positively and emphat
ically that such Information Is true, so
far us the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is concerned; on tho contrary. I as
sert positively that the traftic of the so
called 'sugar trust' or other shippers of
sugar has been carried for many years
past at the lawful published tariff rate,
and tht no rebate or unlawful conces
sion, direct or indirect, has been paid by
our company on this traftic.
It is unfair and unjust to the Presi
dent that he should be misled into believ
ing thai any such condition of affairs ex
ists as staled."
Most Generous of Friends.
W. D. Shaw, a druggist, adds his testi
mony to the worth of the late Louis Blu
mauer. He writes:
"I have bought goods" of Louis Blu
mauer for 21 years, during which time he
never sent me even a statement of ac
count, except at my request. In a busi
ness sense, he was the kindest, most ac
commodating and the most generous
friend I ever knew."

Police Arrest Fallen Women Found
South of Dead Line.
A reminder of the police order issued
several weeks ago to the proprietors of
several disreputable resorts uptown to
move north of Burnside street was given
them last night when two of the principal
offenders. Frank Campbell and Nina
Sichel, were arrested.
Complaints have been frequently made
against the houses on Park, and West
Park streets, and the owner of practically
every such place up town is hunting for
a location north of the "dead line." The
two establishments named had shown few
signs of moving, so Sergeant Cole called
on the two women slast night and placed
them under arrest.
The Taylor-street district already has
been pretty thoroughly cleansed, and the
police have instructions to see to it that
the larger part of the business district of
the city loses the glimmer of the red light.

OHIO WILL Ol-ST STANDARD
Attorney-Ceneral lias Kvidenee of
Monopoly and Limiting Output.
COI.l'MFU'S. O.. May 5. Specials At-torney-Ocneral
Kills will soon begin acr
tion to oust the Standard Oil Company
from the state. Criminal proceedings are
n'so expected against certain officers of
tl.e Standard and its subsidiary concerns.
Mr. K"-U has alre;uly a mass of evidence
shOAir-K how the trust has throttled com
peti'.iOH in the state.
The Attorney-General will have the ac
tive support of the independent oil op-
sonal representative of the Governor of
Oregon. The Governor was engrossed
with his multiplicity of duties, but
dropped all Important matters to discuss
prevailing and future conditions with the
workers from Oregon.
"California can never adequately ex
press her deep appreciation of Oregon's
bounteous charity and assistance in this
awful time of calamity," said His Excel
lency, as he arose to greet his callers.
"When we have partially settled down to
normal condition, we hope to show our
thankf ulness. at least in part, for the
spontaneous and generous assistance of
the people of our sister state. God Bless
Oregon and her noble-hearted citizens."
In a lengthy conversation both the Gov
ernor and Mayor Matt spoke of the wide
publicity Oregon has deservedly received
during the past ten days. "We hear of
your nne work on every side.'' said the
Mayor, "and we Californians want you
to know that every act of charity of the
people of Oregon will ever be remem
bered." " "Indeed it will." added the Governor.
"These are the things we cannot forget.'
Orcjson Spirit Displayed.
Mr. Teal explained that Portland had
raised an unusually large fund and men
tioned the names of several of the largest
contributors. It was the Oregon spirit
of charity and humanitarlanism, how
ever, rather than individual contribution,
which seemed to appeal to the democ
racy of California. In reply to Mr. Teal's
statement that ail Oregon's relief fund
would be turned over to the general relief
committee, the Governor expressed the
conviction that it would be used to the
best advantage. - -
"What is your opinion of the relief
work on the individual plan?" Inquired
Mrs. MacRae. "Do you think that out
side relief committees, such as ours,
should all turn their supplies and funds
into the -general relief, or should they
continue to do work among the individu
als of their own and other states?"
Continue Individual Work.
"By all means continue the individual
work." responded the Governor. "The
general relief Is, of course, an appalling
necessity, and the conditions will be
worse two weeks from now than they are
at present. These, however, will be met
and the masses fed and clothed until the
situation is relieved. But it is the indi
vidual v.o. k which will relieve it. How?
Why, by helping the sufferers to get on
their fci., by giving them the means of
earning a livelihood again, by their in
struments of self-support their hands.
"Money spent In this way Is going to
do more actual good than any other, for
it will put the stranded victims of this
disaster on their feet. Give them i a
chance; buy tools, the stenographer a
typewriter, buy a sewing machine for the
woman wno aepenoea on sewing tor &
living. Fay the office rent of a lawyer a
couple of weeks, get a few Instruments
for the physician; wherever possible give
these destitute people the opportunity of
beginning again, for It is such people
who make the upbuilding of a city pos
sible." By order of Mr. Teal all supplies at
the Oregon Relief Bureau in Oakland
were turned over to the Oakland relief
committee this morning. There were nu
merous calls at the ffureau during the
day. and the responses to the last adver
tised list of people for whom inquiries
were mnde by Oregonians were unusually
large. The number of letters of Inquiry
from all parts of Oregon also exceeded
that of any other day.
' The Oreeoniun should announce
through its columns that hereafter the
committee funds will be spent in the
purchase of supplies in Portland, and
that money for the search of lost rela
tives and friends will not be expended.
The workers here' have been unusually
active in this line and have succeeded In
giving information to hundrds of Oregon
citizens about their loved ones. Jeffer
son Myers and myself have paid especial
attention to this branch of the relief
work, and the number of grateful let
ters at the Oakland bureau attest the
appreciation of the people of attention to
their distress.
Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie and J. N. Teal

Stubborn Coughs. '
A cough which lingers on long after
every other symptom of a cold has disap
peared should have attention, as it indi
cates some throat or lung trouble, and
mav result seriously. Mr. Alexander Mc
Millan, of Maple Ridge. Mich., recom
mends Chamberlain s Cough Remedy for
this trouble. He says: "I used this rem
edy for a stubborn cough with the best
results and think there Is nothing like it.
I cannot speak too highly of it." For sale

Talk of Driving Turks From Kurope
if They Fight Bulgarians Hope
to Gain Long-Sought Lib
erty in "Scramble.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 5. (Special.)
Turkey can scarcely intend to force
Great Britain to attack the Turkish in
vaders of Egypt or take other warlike
measures in connection with the Turko
Egyptian frontier dispute, yet so far the
Porte shows no sign of yielding. The
excitement in diplomatic circles here is
becoming intense. The sailing of large
reinforcements of Turkish infantry, the
dispatch uf artillery to the Sinai Peninsula
and all the orders emanating from the
War Offlee suggest operations on an ex
traordinary scale.
However,' it is surmised that this is
mostly bluff, and that, when the crucial
moment arrives, the Sultan will direct
unconditional compliance with the British
demands. If the contrary happens, big
events will speedily follow.
.Already the Ambassadors here are talk
ing of making1 a clean job of the Turkish
mess, if the Sultan's troops Pre a single
shot. The French and Russian Ambassa
dors are backing up the British Ambassa
dor. Tho Germans ore making no move
to stiffen Abdul Hamid's- back. Indeed,
the German Ambassador has warned the
Sultan that he is running a heavy risk,
and" that he would do better to consent to
a friendly settlement of the frontier
quarrel without delay. .
The Bulgarians are elated at .the pros
pect of a Turkish collision with Britain,
backed up by France and Russia, and de
clare that such a war would result in the
expulsion of the Turks from- Europe and
the establishment of the Balkan nation
alities as absolutely free and independent
states.

SALONICA; European Turkey, May 5.
After the fight at Kaplan, near Uskub,
recently, between Turkish troops and a
band of Bulgarians, .in which three Turks
and two Bulgarians were killed and sev
eral Turks wounded, the troops were re
inforced and pursued the band, which con
sisted of ten men, and exterminated it.
At Teresia, near Fiorina, on May 4, a
Greek band murdered nine villagers, all
members of the Greek Church.

whereby Britain and France will act in
perfect unity regarding the ultimatum
presented to Turkey by Great Britain.

suses have been exchanged. Allison
hopes to be well enough to be Jn his
seat Monday, but it ia likely that tho
compromise will not be offered until
the rate-making and court sections of
the bill -ire reached. Probably this
will not be before Tuesday or Wednes
day-. After tnai is voicu upuu,
amendments will be pressed, and the
final vote on the bill may tome as early
as Wednesday. '
Comparatively few Senators were at
the Capitol today. Instead of having
a conference, as had been suggested,
the leaders seemed to think that the
general welcome given to the state
ment, that 'a compromise had been
agreed upon made such a gathering un
necessary. The few who did meet at
the Capitol discussed the President's
statement indorsing the Allison amend
ment and expressed the opinion that
his acceptance of the proposition elim
inated all prospects of a contest.
Many of the Democrats, especially
those who advocated Senator Bailey's
plan for a limited review, were inclined
to look with some doubt upon the com
promise proposition. They would have
preferred the bill without amendment,
as the alternative of the Bailey amend
ment. Nevertheless, they concede that
the Allison amendment will go through.
A suggestion was made today that the
Democrats should all vote against the
amendment, not with an idea of defeat
ing it, but simply to show their, disap
proval of lt terms. The minority, it
is believed, will vote unanimously for
the passage of the bill on its final vote.
Senator Carter visited the President
tonight and assured him that the com
promise would be adopted. It is known
that the Montana Senator has several
times made polls of the Senate on the
rate bill, and It is believed that his
mission tonight is to give the result of
today's Inquiries.

THE CONNECTICUT FIRE
INSURANCE COMPANY
HARTFORD, Conn., April 23, 1906. 1
DEAR SIR: -.
At this writing no definite advices have been received from San
Francisco and no close estimate of the loss can be-made, t Insurance
offices have been demolished and records in the main probably de-t
stroyed. ,. Estimating from data at the Home Office, however, and
assuming the worst possible aspect of the case, we can assure you
that The Connecticut is able and will promptly and fulty meet all
obligations in that stricken and devastated city and elsewhere. You
need have no apprehension as to its present and continuing solvency
and success.
We are not disposed to minimize the magnitude and unspeakable
horrors of this awful calamity, which has no parallel in the history
of this country save the sorrow and destruction of the Civil War
and has inflicted the greatest loss that has ever befallen insurance
companies, yet we feel confident that final advices will show that the
destruction of property and the insurance loss is not so great as has
been reported. Sincerely yours,
J. D. BROWNE, President.
BENJAMIN J. SMITH, Manager. Pacific Department.

for $5.00; double the service of any other two $5.00 suits made.
"HERCULES" fabrics are double and twist Cassimeres and
Cheviots made from long, pure woolen yarn; absolutely free from
mercerized cotton. Clever imitations look just as good , but they
are not: fabrics are part cotton: won't last as long or look as well
after a few days wear. ; ;-r-' .
"HERCULES" suits are SHOWER PROOF; more thoroughly so than; most
raincoats because the fabrics are finer and woven tighter. r , '
The weak parts of an "ordinary" suit places in the pants and coat which a boy
always goes through first are all doubly strengthened in the "HERCULES." -
Coat is full Kneel with double warped Italian Cloth. Two linings in the deeve
where the wear is most severe ; both will last the life of a suit; and that's twice
as long as any ordinary1 suit
Pants hJ lined with COLD SHRUNK IRISH LINEN; doubles the wear:
of the pants, keeps them in shape and also Sanitary and Hygienic.
AH pants seams covered with strong linen tape. A "HERCULES" pants
seam will never break; it is never called on to resist any strain. .
. The "HERCULES'" is a sirit no mother would be ashamed to put on her boy
for his Sunday best ; tailored right, style right and fits perfectly.
For boys from 8 to 16 and at one price $5.00.
Write us and w will tell you where you can buy the "HERCULES." or we will send
a suit for your inspection: give name of your clothier and age of your boy.
