The Socialists of the rest of the empire, having decided to follow tho b'ussian calendar, attempted to ar range demonstrations; for May 14. In Poland the suspension of industrial ac tivity was thorough.

MONOPOLY IS FOUND President Semis Message to Con (jra on SlandardJJII. IS PAMPERED PET OF RAILROADS Garfield Tells Many Devices by Which Monopoly Crushed Competition. Remove Defects In Law. Washington, May 5. President Roose velt today transmitted to congress the report of James It. Garfield, commis sioner of corporations, giving the re sults of his investigation of the subject nf transportation and freight rate in connection with the oil industry. In his message the president ex prcHses the view that tho report is of capital importance, because of the ef fort now being made to secure such en largement of the powers of the inter Mate commerce) commission as will con fer upon tho commission power is some measure adequate to meet the clearly demonstrated needs of the situation. The facts set forth in the report, he declares, are for tho most part not dis puted. That the Standard Oil Company has benefited enormously up almost to the present moment by secret rates, many of wlib'h were clearly unlawful, the president says the report clearly shows, the benefit thereby secured amounting to at least three quarters of a million dollars a year. The statement is added that tho de partment of justice will take up the question of instituting prosecutions in at least certain of the cases, and the hope is expressed that congress will enact into law the bill of Senator Knox to correct the interpretation of the im munity provision rendered in Judge Humphrey's decision. The president calls attention to that feature of tho rejort regarding the manner in which tho law is evaded by treating as state commerce what in real ity is merely a part of interstate com merce. He says it is clearly shown: "That this device is employed on the New York Central Kailroad, as well as on many other railroads, in such fash ion as to amount to thwarting the pur pose of the law, although the forms of the law may be complied with." It is unfortunately not true, he says, that the Standard Oil Company is the only cororation which has benefited and is benefiting in wholly improper fashion by an elaborate series of rate discriminations. The sugar trust, he adds, according to the results of the investigation now in progress, rarely, if ever, pays the lawful rate for transportation. He declares that in tho effort to pre vent the railroads from uniting for im proper purposes, "wo have very unwise ly prohibited them from uniting for proper purjKises; that is, for purposs of protecting themselves and the general public as against the power of the great corporations." He favors as an element of competi tion tho passage of Bomo such law as that which has already passed the house, putting alcohol used in the arts and manufactures on the freo list and keep ing the fee to oil and coal lands of the Indian tribes or on the public domain in the government, tho lands to be leased only on such terms and for such periods as will enable tho government to en tirely control them. CARRIED 300,000 REFUGEES. Southern Pacific Says Few People Left City Permanently. Chicago, May 5 According to official figures, the Southern Pacific Company, luring the exodus from San Francisco following the enrthquako and the great fire, carried 300,000 freo passengers. This total is for tho nine days from April IS up to and including April 20. Of these passengers, 67,000 were carried to interior California points, 7,684 to other states nnd 2:26,000 to suburban points around San Francisco bay. The value of these freo transportations is estimated at $456,000. This comprises only the movement from San Francisco; figures us yet not having been compiled on the free transportation from Santa Kosa, Vallejo, Sacramento and Stock ton. In tho opinion of Traffic Manager Fee, the most encouraging feature of the situation is tho fact that not only are most of the refugees staying in Cali fornia, but that three-fourths of thorn have found temporary homes within easy reach of the city Rates Raised Wantonly. Chicago, May 5 Declaring that the railroads were oppressing and discrim-' butting against its members, and had been so doing for tho past six years, the American Shippers' Association met today at tho Auditorium Annex and de cided to enlarge its scope nnd influence. The association at present includes a majority of tho large shippers of tho country, and it is probable in tho near future the interstate commerce com mission will be petitioned to mako a thorough inquiry iuto tho railroads' ac tions in arbitrarily increasing the freight rates on n number of classifi cations in the last six years. More Time for Smoot Case. Washington, May 5. The. senate com mittee on privileges nnd elections today considered tho Smoot case, but in view of statements of several senators that they desired to review certain features of the testimony, a voto was postponed until May IS. It wns agreed, however, that a voto shall bo had on that day. During the discussion Dubois offered the following resolution: "Kesolved, that Heed Smoot is not entitled to his seat as a senator of tho United States from the State of Utah."

TH8 BRAYTON HOSPITALITY. ' It llt ,No Whfn Tkrir Wraith W Tnlirn from Thrrn. j "That must le F.iiiniellne Itrnyton's j funeral," mild tlio elder sister, peer ing through th misty window and 'la-ses tlmt grew suddenly mistier, j "M.v, but It's n long one! Adelaide, you must romomlier F.mmy Ilrnyton? She was In the class nlsve us, but " Adelaide, who had Just returned to her native plnee after an nbsenre of many years, nodded nnd Joined her sis ter nt the window. "Of roursfl I remernlier Kmmy. She was always trentlng us younger ones. Ohio she gut us all on the kitchen IKirch and brought out two great pans of sugar gingerbread, hot from the oven, and we ate every mite of It The rook Sf-olded, but her mother Just laughed, and when I came lKime and told aliout It, greiiduiotlter said that was the Hraytons all over, and that there never was a limit to the Ursyton hospitality. Berns to me, Anna, I heard they had lot their property. It must have been hard for people of that kind, used to doing so munli for every !dy, to have nothing left to do with." "The question Is w!ire something ends and nothing begins," answered Miss Adams, blowing on tier glasses and srmbblng them. "They did lose their projierty, but thoy never stopjied being boepltsble. They were only more and more simple in their ways of show ing It Their house was the center of things long after everybody they knew was better off than tbey. "Hut at last when marriages and deaths bad broken up the family till only Kmmy wns left and she bad to move way out where you bad a ride a half-hour by trolley and walk down a long lane all full of tin cans and sooty 'snow-drifts. It did majce a difference. She wns an Invalid then, too, pretty nearly, and couldn't get about herself; and although her friends didn't forget her, they couldn't get to ber often, and If Kmmy had been anybody but Emmy, she might have been miserably lonely and forlorn. "Hut she was Emmy, and the Bray ton characteristics- were as strong as ever. Her shabby little cheap cottage was on the edge of a marshy pond, and the Polish boys and girls, big and little, from the new factory settlement on tho farther side used to come there to A ate. "One day she beckoned In a boy who was struggling with a broken strap and told hlrn she would be glad If be and his friends or any of the skaters would come in and get warm whenever they liked. Tbey were too shy to respond, till one day a crowd of them hurried tn with a Beared little fellow who had broken through the Ice, and after that they fell Into the way of coming and there was Emmellne, provided with a new social circle, and headquarters In her own kitchen. "Those warm-hearted boya and girls grew fairly to worship her, and would talk to her as eagerly of Stanlslava and Castnlr, Ladlslas and Falka as If they belonged to families she had been friends with all her life. "You see, It was the Brayton hospi tality; nothing left to offer but good will and a kitchen Are, but she had of fered those." "Poor Emmy !" sighed Adelaide. "No, not poor Emmy!" responded Anna, petting back her glasses firmly and blinking fiercely behind them. "'Dear' Emmy, If you will, but not 'poor. Emmellne Brayton was a hap py woman happy to the very last Youths' Companion. "The evening before I .started on my vacation," snya a school teacher, writ ing In tho New York Tribune, "I went to the seamstress who had been doing 6ome work for me. I was cross and unreasonable generally because she had not sent my things to me, and even when I found that she was up to her eyes In work that had to be finished before morning, I was grouchy still. " 'You will have to Bend my things after me,' I said, as soon as I could epvak for disappointment, and I gave her my address In the New Hampshire towu where I was going. "Her face lit up. 'Are you going to EdgewnterT she said. 'I was born In that very town, and I lived there till I grew up!' "Then she described her old home, and told me where It was nnd Just how to get to It I listened politely enough, then forgot all about It But one day I wns out taking pictures, and some thing moved me to try for some views of the old house the seamstress had told me about "When I got home I finished nnd mounted two on n card, one showing tho beautifully arched old-fashioned front door and yard, nnd the other the window of the room In which from ber description ishe had been born. Then I wrote Hood's linos on tho card: I remember, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn.
