^Washington, Feb. 15.—While ther: has -been no advertisement of the t*ct, it Is true that eastern financial circles are a good deal disturbed over the ag­gressive policy of 'the administration in the matter of the prosecution of the so-called trusts, and the fear is being freely expressed that unless something can be done to relieve the situation, a condition resembling a temporary fin­ancial stringency may be the result, either this year or next. *, ,£§tf*7

At present the government's suit against the Standard Oil Company is being watched with undisguised inter­est In the east, and as the time for the trial of the cases at St. Louis draws near, the Standard Oil officials, who have been preparing for a stubborn de­fense, are being subjected to a good deal of pressure from their financial associates and allies. Indeed, the sit­uation is such that no surprise should be occasioned if, "when the trial day arrived, the Standard Oil company should go Into court and voluntarily consent to a decree.

Should the Standard do this, It will do precisely what eastern financial leaders believe ought to be done. These men have ibeen impressed with the strength of the government's case and are painfully aware of the fact that public sentiment in the United States is today more unfriendly to the trusts than it has ever -been in the country's history. The effect of such an unfavor­able environment, It is pointed out, will almost necessarily have <* greater or less effect upon the federal courts, and so, it seems, in the opinion of eastern financial operators, almost a foregone conclusion that the Standard is to lose Its case, and then, if it shall have made a hard defense, be subjected to the extreme penalties of the law. The effect of such a state of affairs, it is pointed out, would almost certainly be disastrous in financial circles, owing to the bewildering ramifications of Standard Oil financial operations. Any­thing that would put that company out of business, or even cripple it seriously, would, it is contended, involve every one of the scores of important interests with which that company is identified. Hence, the advice to the company's officers to go slow, and, if possible, con­sent to a decree in advance of trial.

* » • •' * -

Having thus consented, it is pointed out, the court will be likely to impose some moderate penalty, and, what is even of more importance, the secrets of the Standard's business operations and ramifications will not be revealed.

An effort has been made to run this rumor to some definite foundation in Washington, but without success aS yet. The government Is preparing for the trial of the case, and' Messrs. Kellogg of St. Paul and Morrison of Chicago, who are in charge of the government's sid« of it, are now ready to proceed. The government is not worried over the outlook, but, on the contrary, feels cer­tain that it is to win.

Tyie rumor here outlined' has origin­ated in New York, and come thence to Washington, but thus far without appearing in any of the newspapers. It is important, if true, and will be heard with a good deal of surprise by people in all parts of the country,

c * * » The present' situation in regard to

the Japanese-California negotiations is as follows:

•Mayor Schmitz antl the members of the San Francisco school board have come to an agreement with the presi­dent. What they would prefer to do is to establish a number of additional schools in 6an Francisco, providing for the Japanese educational facilities fully equal to those given to white childran. It is understood, that these schools are to be for Japanese only—not Chinese, who will have to continue to ajttend the existing oriental school in the heart of the burned district. Secretary Root is to communicate at once with Ambas­sador Wright at Toklo, instructing him to lay this plan before the mikado's government.

But if this plan is not agreeabl? to Japan the San Francisco authorities will rescind their order segregating the Japanese scholars and will re-admit them into the schools for whites, if an amendment to the immigration bill bar­ring coolie laborers i-3 accepted by tho senate and house, and the immigration bill is passed at this session of con­gress. The proposed) amendment, which is the work of Secretary Root, provides against the admission of foreigners who use their passports "to the detriment of labor conditions in this country.''

Mayor Schmitz and his associates had a" conference with the president yesterday afternoon and assured Mr. Roosevelt that the amendment to the immigration bill was entirely satisfac­tory to them.

The amendment to the bill has been agreed upon by conferees of the sen­ate and house and reported to con­gress.

* * « 4* < •Nothing is more calculated to cause

President1 Roosevelt to direct the in­terstate commerce commission to make an official valuation of railroad prop­erty in the United States than the statement of President A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western before the Minnesota legislature that he had sold considerable watered stock and was prepared to sell more.

For several weeks President Roose­velt has been considering the advisa­bility of writing a letter to the commis­sion which would reassure investors in railroad securities and enable the pro­moters of roads to secure money for the construction of additional trackage and equipment which the shipping in­terests of the country require. The president wanted the people to know,

however, exactly what thoy were buy­ing, and he, therefore, proposed to di­rect tho commission to make an offi-

| cial valuation of roads and to report 'fully upon the car shortage situation.

Mr. Sticknoy's testimony, however, may cause him to reach a decision without any further loss of time. It is anticipated he will have another con­ference wi'h the commission in the course of a few days and will ask its advice as to what he shall do. There is no doubt that Chairman Knapp and his assistants will urge Mr. Roosevelt to write a letter. They believe in spile of 1 lie direction for an official valuation it will cause people to feel that any Investments they may choose to make arc to receive a guarantee that there Is real worth in the property in which they put their money.

A t first watered slock concerns may suffice, hut in the end the railways Of the country will he benefited. There will lie less inclination to water from now on, and the interest of those hold* ing bonds and stock consequently will be protected.

1 Oddity in the News §

Fnte Hands Out Bad Luck. Omaha.—Some persons say the num­

ber "IT' is not unlucky, but Charles Kills, colored, who was arraigned in police court, is a living testimonial of the misfortunes attached to the fateful number.

Ellis is charged with the burglary of the saloon last Friday night—think of it, Friday—of Lou Russell, Thirteenth street, and stealing exactly $13 and a watch valued at $13 and numbered 13,013. He was tried February 13 and thirteen witnesses testified against him. This is the chain that fate has woven around Colonel Ellis, who evi­dently forgot to carry his rabbit's foot on the night of the burglary. The $13 wach numbered 13,013 was recovers! by Detectives Mitchell and Sullivan, who also arrested Ellis on suspicion of knowing something of the burg­lary. '

*" ' Lives Dual Life 12 Years. Madison, Wis.—After being mourned

as dead for twelve years Charles McGee Williams, the famous Wisconsin uni­versity base ball pitcher who disap­peared In Chicago in 1894, was found today at iMerrlllvlIle, Ind.

He has been living there since July, 1894, as an ordinary workman. He is married and owns his own home.

According to Williams' story, he suf­fered mental aberration when he mys­teriously disappeared from a hotel in Chicago. Williams' said:

"On July 6, 1894, I suddenly found myself in Hammond, Ind. I had 11a recollection of how I got there, and it was only by asking strangers that I found where I was and what day of the month and year it was. I began to trudge away without purpose, and found myself some days later here in Merriilvllle."

Weds, Then Seeks Relatives Drowned. New York.—Superstition concerning

the postponement of marriages led Phillip Paul, a young man of 21, to marry Miss Ray Cohen in Brooklyn, despite the receipt of a message say­ing that every other member of the bridegroom's family had. been drowned Or frozen, to death as a result of the steamship collision off Block Island. The bridegroom was berefL of his par­ents and two sisters.

Samuel Paul, father of tho unfort­unate bridegroom, lived in Pawtucket, R. I. A week ago the happy bride­groom sent for his father, mother and two sisters to come to Brooklyn to at­tend his marriage. They sailed on the ill fated Larchmont.

After the wedding the young hus­band kissed his bride an,d left for Block Island to undertake the somber task of identifying his loved ones.

, y Vicious Dog Slew Woman. Philadelphia.—Mrs. Lena Smith, of

this city, who was terribly torn and bitten by a vicious bulldog at her home last night, died at a hospital today. 'The dog was whipped by Mrs. Smith on Monday and showed resentment all of Tuesday. She! went into the kitchen, of her home last evening with a plate of meat for the dog and was immedi­ately attacked by the animal.

She was thrown to the floor and de­spite her struggles was horribly bitten. Her arm was torn into shreds and was afterwards amputated. Attracted tw Mrs. Smith's screams, her husband went to her assistance and killed the dog with a poker. ^

Cornell College, which has never be­fore been a factor In the track athletics of Iowu, is preparing to enter the state meet this spring. With a bunch of for­ty men working three times each week I>u Bridge, who Is training the squad, hopes to be able to make a showing of which the college or squad need not be ashamed. This season is the first in the history of Cornell that Its athletes have had the opportunity to train in­doors during the lato winter, before weather conditions permitted outdoor practice. Especial interest centers in the development of Phillips, who has showed evidence of becoming a strong sprinter. Weils and Gibbs are the quarter-mllers who tire expected to win. Dual meets are to be held with Coe, Grinnell, Lennox and the state

normal, at Cedar Falls. » • •

Arkansas is thu second state with­in two weeks which ha« feit the grip of its legislative body, ana which has had gambling on horses taken from Its well-known winter resorts. During the past week the general assembly at Lit­tle Rock passed the Amis anti-racing bill by a vote of 83 to 8 which puts to an end betting In any form on trials of speed between horses. Acting Governor Moore signed the measure Thursday. As a result the gates of Oaklawn at Hot Springs, one of the most notorious'gaming places of the southwest, were closed.

Since Tennessee was forbidden to bet on horse races by Us legislature, an effort is now to be made to hold a meeting without the gaming feature to which the lawmakers objected. Men interested In the breeding of horses are to give a meeting In Memphis In April when purses of $12,000 will be hung up. No attempt is to be made to disobey the law, and the promoters are depending solely on the gate re­ceipts to prevent a deficit. Betting on horse races Js but one form of gamb­ling, and where It assumes the propor­tions it docs at Hot Springs and Mem­phis It be;omes a gigantic evil. The move of bath legislatures is only one in the right direction, a step toward decency and cleanliness in sports.

Marshalkown this week isold its base ball team, the property of its associa­tion and f-anchise in the Iowa' State1

League to A. S. Kennedy, better known as "Snapper" and Relden Hill, both of Cedar Knp.ds. The sale was tho best from a financial standpoint that the as­sociation has ever made, and it was the most feasible and easiest way out of a vexing proposition. It is questioned if anyone could have 'been found who would have assumed the 'presidency, let alone the secretaryship, of tho asso­ciation. All were tired of the worry Incidental to 'being officers of the club, which entailed during the past year or two the unpleasant duties of "hounding" people for money to keep the club agoing. Now that Kennedy and Hill have taken it over, end the former will be manager and resident owner, the future is simplified. It is up to Kennedy to make it pay or not. And whether it pays or not depends large­ly on the learn Kennedy puts into the field. He will find it profitable to "deliver the goods," and if he is as fortunate as he was at Ottumwa for two years the city will bo glad it sold out to "Snapper."

Electrics 1 score boards operated from near the home plates probably will be adopted by the American league climbs to indicate to spectators every decision made during a game instead of the signal system by umpires' gestures, which has; been under consideration. President Johnson of the American league hasi made the prediction after a. consultation with an inverttoc of a mechanical board similar to the one in use in St. Louis. The board appeared to be simple and practical as well as reliable and will be brought to the at­tention of the club owners at their schedule meeting in New York week after next. If it meets the approval of the majority of the clubs its use prob­ably will be made compulsory in the league. By its use decisions on balls and strikes and on bases are shown instantly.

Synopsis, Chapter 1—Eugene Bantry, a Canaan

(Ind). young man, who has been east to college, returns home and astounds the natives by the gorgeousness of his raiment. His stepbrother, Joe Louden, Is characterized by the group of aged mule gossips who dally assemble at the National House for argument as the good for nothing associate of doubtful chartcers. 2—Eugene's appearance has a pronounced effect upon Mamie Pike, whose father, Judge Pike, is the weal- phnngpg In ^ house—pleasantly In thlest and most prominent citizen1 or k , w|th ,ts Blmplc churacter-nlry Canaan.

afar. Eugene Interferes in a snow fight between Joe and his holdenish and a very poor girl friend, Aerlel Tabor, who Is worsted. Aeriel hotly resents the interference and slaps Eugene, who sends her home. 3—Ariel, unbecom­ingly attired attends Mamie Pike s ball. 4—Joe, concealed behind some plants on the Pike veranda, watches hungrily for a glimpse of Mamie. Ariel Is Ignored by most of the guests. Ariel discovers Joe, but shortly afterward, learning that her uncle Jonas Tabor, has died suddenly, leaves. V.—The Dally Tocsin of the next day tells of Joe's discovery on the Pike veranda and of Ills pursuit and escape there­from. It also refers to wounds in the head of himself and of Norbert Flit-croft, who detected him. Joe retires to the "Beach," a low resort kept by his friend, Mike Sheehan, who dresses his wound. VI.—Joe leaves Mike's place. He visits Ariel Tabor, who by the death of her Uncle Jonas has be­come rich. She wishes Joe to ac­company her and her grandfather to Paris, Joe refuses and leaves Canaan to avoid arrest for the trouble at Judge Pike's. VII—Joe is heard from two years later as a ticket seller for a side show. Eugene Bantry also meets him seven years later in a low resort in New York, but wisely refrains from advertising It. VIII—Joe returns to Canaan a full fledged lawyer. Even his father ignores him, and he is re­fused accommodations at the National House. IX.—Joe Is welcomed at the "Beach," and "Happy Fear," one of Joe's admirers, seriously assaults Nashville Cory, a detractor. At the end of Happy's term In prison he vis­its Joe, who has a law office on the square, with a large practice, prin­cipally among the lower classes, and is frequently attacked by the Tocsin. Joe begins, In his loneliness, to yield to the seductions of the bottle. Bantry's engagement to Mamie Pike is an­nounced. Bantry is now associate edi­tor of the Tocsin, owned by Judge Pike. X.—Joe awakens after a "bad night" with the words, "Remember, across the Main street bridge at noon," ringing in his ears. He goes there and is presently joined by the most beauti­ful and most beautifully dressed girl he has ever seen. XI.—She turns out to be Ariel Tabor, arrived in Canaan the night before from her long sojourn in Paris. She has seen Joe as she alighted from the train and, realizing his condition, had escorted him home after exacting from him a promise to meet her the next day (Sunday) across the Main street bridge at noon. Joe learns that Ariel is stopping at Judge Pike's home, the judge having entire charge of her money, etc. XII—Eugene Bantry, altho engaged to Mamie, is much smitten with Ariel's charms. Judge Pike tries his usual blustering tactics with Ariel, but subsides when she tells him that she shall ask him to turn over the care of her estate to Joe Louden. XHI—Ariel holds a sort of Informal reception at Judge Pike's and learns that the "tough element" is talking of running Joe for mayor. Xiv—Happy Fear and Nashville Cory have more trouble. Joe corners Happy and sends Claudine (Mrs. Fear) to meet him. XV.—Ariel visits Joe's office to put her affairs in his hands. While there Happy Fear rushes in and an­nounces that he has killed Nashville Cory in self defense. Joe makes Happy give himself up. XVI.—Mamie Pike admits to Ariel that she, too, has be­gun to believe in Joe Louden. XVII.— The 'Tocsin makes virulent attacks on Joe Iiouden and Happy Fear. Mike Sheehan hints that he may shortly have some interesting secrets to divulge in connection with Judge Pike's affairs.

Itememberfng h'er'flrst interview with him, she rose quickly before he could come near her. "Mr. Louden made most of the arrangements for me," she replied quietly, "before ho went away. He will take' charge of everything when he returns. You haven't forgot­ten that 1 told you I intended to placc my affairs in his hands?"

He hnd started forward, but at this lie stopped and stared at her inarticu­lately.

"You remember?" she said, her hands resting negligently upon the back of the chair. "Surely you remember?"

Bhe was not in the least afraid of hlui, but coolly watchful of him. This had been her habit with him since her return. She had seen little of him ex­cept at table, when he was usually grimly laconic, though now and then she would hear him joking heavily with Sam Wnrden in the yard, or, with

"I do." , . -"I sent It." J "Do you mean from your own"— "I mean it was my own money." She had not taken her eyes from h!%

which met hers straightly and angrily, and at this she leaned forward, gazing at him with profound scrutiny.

"Why did you send it?" she (asked. "Charity," he answered after palpa­

ble hesitation. Her eyes widened, and she leaned :

back against the lintel of the door, staring at him incredulously. "Char* ity!" she echoed in a whisper.

Perhaps he mistook her amazement nt his performance for dismay caused by the sense of her own position, for as she seemed to weaken before bln» the strength of his own faabit of doml-

CHAPTER XVIII—(Continued.)

Eskew—there Is no option but to de­clare—was no longer Eskew. It Is the truth. Since the morning when Ariel Tabor came down from Joe's office, leaving ber offering of white roses in that dingy, dusty, shady place, Eskew had not been himself. His comrades observed It somewhat in a physical dif­ference, one of those alterations which may come upon men of his years sud­denly, like a "sea change." His facc was whiter, his walk slower, his voice filed thinner. He creaked louder when he rose or sat. Old always from his boyhood, he had In the turn of a hand become aged. But such things come and such things go. After eighty there are ups and downs. People fading away one week bloom out pleasantly the next, and resiliency is not at ail a patent belonging to youth alone. The material change in Mr. Arp might have been thought little worth remarking. What caused Peter Bradbury, Squire Buckalew and the colonel to shake their heads secretly to one another and wonder If their good old friend's mind had not "begun to go" was something very different. To come straight down to it, he not only abstained from all argument upon the "Cory murder" and the case of Happy Fear, refusing to discuss either In any terms or under any circumstances, but he also declined to speak of Ariel Tabor or of Joseph Louden or of their affairs, singular or plural, masculine, feminine or neuter, or In any declension. Not a word com­mittal or noncommittal. None!

And his face when he was silent fell Into sorrowful and troubled lines.

The voices of the fathers fell to the pitch of ordinary discourse; the drowsy town was quiet again; the whine of the planing mill boring its way through the sizzling air to every wakening ear. Far away on a quiet street it sounded faint-i^jlkejhe huc3_oLafbea.»crDM* creek.
