BADLEY REBUKE OIL TRUST HEAD

Accused of Sensationalism, Turns Charge Against

-"" standard Oil Men.

He

'-. frs* *.i

New York, March 28.—The t ak ing of tes t imony in this ci ty in the proceed­ings brought to oust from ^Missouri the Standard Oil company of Indiana, the Waters-Pierce Oil company and the He-public Oil company, on the ground tha t they consti tute a combination in re­s t ra in t of t rade, is ended. At torney General Hadley of Missouri instructed Commissioner Sanborn, before whom the witnesses testified, to send a certified copy of the testimony to the supreme court of Missouri, -where it will become a par t of the record in the case.

Pract ical ly the last move Mr. Hadley made was to introduce test imony show ing the difficulties under which most of the witnesses who are in any Avay con­nected wi th the Standard Oil company were served. He put in the record the fact t ha t every effort had been made to secure the testimony of John D. Rocke­feller, but none had succeeded. He in­troduced copies of let ters wr i t ten to a t torneys of the Standard Oil request­ing tha t officers of the company accept service. The request applied to John D. Rockefeller along with several others.

Dur ing the examination of the sub-pena-server, counsel for the defendant companies brought out tha t the man had received money from newspapers for stories of his experiences in t ry ing to Beive some of the Standard Oil men. Counsel declared these facts were brought out " t o show there has been a lot of ' g r a n d s t a n d i n g ' and advert is ing about this , and a lot of sensational­i s m . "

" T h e only sensationalism there^has been in this case has been the sensa­t ional a t t empts of these witnesses to evade service of s u b p e n a s , " replied At­torney General Hadley.

Max Palmedo, who has served all the processes and subpenas m the action, •went on the s tand and told of some of t he difficulties he had encountered in his task. He had about fifty subpenas in all, he said, and in onlv three cases did the men for whom the> were issued accept service voluntari ly. These were Mr. Archibold, Mr. Page and Mr. Mof-fa t t .

I t took him three days to serve H. H. Kogers and from two to three days to reach the others whom he had suc­ceeded in serving. He said t h a t altho he had tr ied repeatedly to reach John D. Rockefeller he had not been success­ful.

Washington, March 28.—Senator Mc-Cumber of North Dakota, devoting him­self to railroad ra tes exclusively, ad­dressed the senate yesterday. He picked innumerable flaws in the ra te bill, pre­dicting tha t if passed it would flail entirely to meet the demands of the i m h l i c . H e saicl, h o w e v e r , lie 'would vote for the bill if i t is properly amended.

Mr. McCumber read a resolution, of­fered several weeks ago, set t ing forth a, number of subjects t ha t should be provided for by amendments to the bill. These included terminal charges of all kinds, pr ivate car line charges and. many other subicets not covered by the 'bill.

He referred to the popular demand for the passage of the pending bill and contended t h a t when i t becomes a law the people \vill not find in it all tha t they expect. He pointed oTit defects in tho bill, saving t h a t an effort to fix la tes would not result entirely to the disadvantage of the corporations or to the advantage of the public; hence tho lack of opposition on the par t of the big companies. He t raced the popular dissatisfaction to a world-wide refetleSS-i ioss a n d n o t t o t h e n a r r o w field o£ t h e

fixing of railroad rates. No Wonder He Is Restless.

" I t is a contest between the indi­vidual and the corpora t ions ," he said. " T h e individual sees opportunity cut off in all directions and there can be no wonder tha t he is r e s t l e s s . "

T h e g e n e r a l a n i m o s i t y i s d i r e c t e d a t the ra ihoads most especially, he said, because they are more in evidence than other corporations. l i e did not be­lieve that relief would be secured until a way was found to control the corpora­tions that control the railroads.

" O f what avail is it.'%' he asked, " t o reduce rates on beef .1 per cent if the beef trust gets the benefit of the reduc­tion? What we want is a law t h a t will break each of the t rusts into a thousand pieces, and then another tha t will prevent the pieces from get t ing together a g a i n . "

" I f , " he said, " t h e people gener­ally count on great lelief by the t rans­fer of the ra temaking power from the hands of the railroad men, where i t properly belongs, to the hands of a political board, they will find tha t the senator from South Carolina was sin­gularly inspired when he spoke of it as a farce, as he did before he assumed the role of step-father to i t . "

He said tha t the public was asking for the enforcement of the existing law rathei than the enactment of a new law.

" A n editor has uncovered a number (f cases of rebates in the sugar t r u s t , " he said, " a n d surely the a t torney gen­eral W'lh his experts and his assist­ants can do *is much as an i n d i v i d u a l . "

Rebate System Intolerable.

He spoke of the rebate system as intolerable and the pr ivate car system as even worse. He said tha t a pr iva te car will earn $7o0 a year, or 75 per cent, whereas it should not earn more than $60. The difference is equiva­lent to a rebate in behalf of the car owners. He would have the railroads divorce themselves from outside com­panies.

Discussing the legal difficulties in the way of the bill, Mr. McCumber said he was less concerned on account of them than on account of the policy of entering upon such legislation at all. He considered i t an approach toward paternalism, the abode of " b u r i e d hopes, destroyed ambition and surrendered asp i ra t ions . ' '

Mr. McCumber traced to the rail­roads the development of the interior of the country. He said in reply to Mr. Beveridge tha t he expected to vote for the pendino- bill, bu t expressed the opinion tha t it should be amended. He said that the rigid enforcement of the o i s t i n g la;v would have prevented the (levdopmi nt of the west.

He gaA e it as his opinion that ' the prssago cf the proposed law would ab­solute h urovent competition between rival hues, because in effect it amount­ed te pooling. I t would practically h a \ e +he effect of pu t t ing all competing roaib under one management. " T h e p o p o H t i o n not only legalizes but im­poses poo l ing , " he declared.

Algeciras, Spain, March 28.—Ambas­sador Henry White and the others of the American delegation to the confer­ence on Moroccan reforms were show­ered with compliments yesterday for what is regardeel as their sagacious in­tervention, assuring a solution t of the l a s t l e m a i n i n g s e r i o u s d i f f i cu l ty of t h e conference and a final set t lement of one of the most delicate and complicated

?uestions ever brought before the con-erence for decision

Aus t r i a ' s police proposal Monday left the German and French delegates still occupying total ly opposed standpoints relat ive to the police inspection.

Mr. White, seeing the danger of dis­a g r e e i n g , took the ini t ia t ive in an at­tempt to save the si tuation. He and his colleagues drew up a fresh scheme, laying elown the proposition tha t the in­spector should report simultaneously to both the sultan "and the diplomatic corps a t Tangier, the la t ter having au­thor i ty to orcfer inquiries into the work­ing of the Franco-Spanish police scheme, thus guaranteeing the carrying out of the conference's decision and safeguarding foreign interests and com­mercial t ransact ions; also t h a t the di­plomatic corps, after informing the sul­tan , might a t any time order the in­spector to inquire and report should any interested government present a com­plaint .

Before presenting this plan to the committee, Mr. White approached the j p r i n c i p a l d e l e g a t e s . T h e B r i t i s h , I t a l - J ian and Russian delegates unhesi tat ing­ly approved the proposal, and promised it their fullest support.

All Obstacles Removed.

Mr. Whi te then conferred successive­ly wi th the French and German dele­gates, who agreed as to the practicabili­t y of the idea and consented to submit the scheme to their respective govern­ments, whose concurrence they consider to be virtually certain.

In the meantime the committee in­corporated the scheme in their proposi­tion for presentation to the full confer­ence, which later adopted i t provisional­ly while awai t ing the French govern­ment 's ratification, which the delegates do not doubt will be accoreled.

The effect on the conference of the acceptance of the American suggestion was immediately noticeable. A change came over the hi ther to str ict ly diplo­matic relations of the French and Ger­man elelegates, and they were photo­graphed together on the hotel veranda. One of the neutral delegates present a t the moment remarked: " T h a t photo­graph consti tutes the first s ignature of ac corel."

The conference has elecided to hold its next plenary s i t t ing on Thursday. In the interim the committee will meet several t imes in the eneleavor to con­clude the sett lement of details this week. The drawing up and copying of the report is expected to take another week.

No One I s Defeated.

La t e r Ambassador Whi te said: " E v e r y t h i n g is satisfactory. Know­

ing tha t a solution was necessary to both France and Germany, I brought the adversaries together and compelled them to explain their differences. I re­joice tha t a representat ive of the United Sta tes was enableel to assist in the a t ta inment of a sett lement of the controversy. America hopes the ac­cord will leael to real friendship be­tween the two most interested p a r t i e s . ' '

The duke of Almodovar, presielent of the conference, saiel t ha t the solution of the difficulty was pleasing because neither par ty had gained a victory or suffered a defeat.

Reason."

Bluffield, W. Va., March 28.—Blood­shed and death ended a " s o c i a l " a t the Methodist Episcopal church at Coal-dale, near here, last night. One man was killed instant ly , his wife was fa­tally wounded and several others re­ceived serious bullet wounds. The t ragedy grew out of a quarrel over church funels between two factions m the congregation.

The man killed was Benjamin Cape-ly. Mrs. S. H. Harper was wounded in the side and Henry Garden was shot m the lfg. Two other men, who fled after the fight, were slightly wounded.

There had been ill feeling of long s tanding over the management of funds which had been taised for the erection of a new church buileling.

During the evening there was a clash between adherents of the rival factions and it is said tha t a blow was struck. Ins tant ly guns were produced and shoot­ing began. Benjamin Capely fell with a bullet in his heart . Mrs. Harper , Henry Garden and the others were shot within the next few minutes. Mrs. Harper, Garden and James Hot ten were arrested pending an invest igat ion by the authorit ies.

CHILD KIDNAPPED; ANOTHER RESCDED

Vienna, March 28.—A pr iva te tele­gram from St. Pe tersburg gives the s tar t l ing information t h a t a new suc­cession law is being prepared, ow­ing to the fact tha t the czarevitch is in weak heal th.

According to reports emanat ing from quar ters connected with the court, the czarevitch is both deaf and dumb. Other reports describe him as suffering from microcephalus. That his mental con­dition is such tha t he can never ascend to the throne of Russia and rule is ^ court secret t h a t is just leaking out and is s tar t l ing the monarchs of Europe.

From the reports it is int imated t h a t the child may never live to ascend the throne. His physical heal th as well as his mental condition is said to be such tha t he may not survive many months.

The reports have caused a sensation in Russia and may affect the revolution­ary movements.

FARMER MURDERED AND BODY FOUND IN STABLE

Journal Special Service. Chicago, March 28.—One successful

k idnapping and auother a t tempt t h a t was f ru s t r a t e^ only by the t imely ar­r ival of workmen employee! on tin ad-ioining building have caused conster­nation among the parents of Austin and Oak Park . The similarity in the methods employeel in the two cases has led to the conclusion tha t they were the work of the same person, and fear tha t other children may be made vic­tims has been inspired in the suburbs.

Hazel, the 4-year-old daughter of E. W. Powers of Austin, was kf&napped by a s t ranger jus t af ter 1 o'clock in •the afternoon. Only a short time after­ward, an a t t empt was made to abeluct Harold and Fred Jennissen, children of Mrs. O. J . Jennissen of Oak Park . In each case only one man was seen, and he used a bag of candy as a bribe to lure the children away.

Two policemen were detailed to con­t inue the search fox the child, bu t a t last reports she had not been found,

Special to The Journal. Motley, Minn., March 28.—Pat Holly,

a farmer living seven miles northwest of Motley, was founel late yesterelay afternoon murdered and buried in a pile of refuse at a stable.

His team and sled were found two miles northwest of Motley, in Case county. The team had been' wander ing around and got fast in t imber brush. Evident ly the horses had been, there for several days. On identification of the team a t Motley, search, was made for the man, and he was found as stated. Evidence points to robbery. The cor­oner and sheriff were notified.

Holly was a bachelor and lived alone. He was supposeel to be weal thy. He was nearly 70 years of age.

My Child is Called "CARDUA", writes Mrs. James E. Bryden, of Fisher, Wash., "because of the help that Cardui was to me, and my sister has called one of her little twin girls 'CARDUA', because of the help it was to her. I had a terrible time until I commenced taking Cardui. I had doctored all my life, but found nothing to give me relief. I had two mishaps, and it seemed impos­sible for me to have a child, when I started taking
