A Chicago dispatch says: All the

charges of conspiracy in restraint of
interstate trade and commerce have
been granted lain] unity from criminal

Jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the direction* of the court.
A decision to this effect was handed
down Friday afternoon by Judge J.
Otis Humphrey in the United States
district court. The court reviewed the
case in all its bearings, and all the
essential facts which had been brought
out, and concluded as follows:
“Under the law in this case the
Immunity pleas filed by the defend
ants will be sustained as to the In
dividuals and denied to the corpora
tions, and the Jury will find in favor
of the government as far as the cor
porations are concerned, and against
the government as far as the indlvU-
y uals are concerned.’’
During the rendition of the decision
the court was crowded by defendants
and numerous spectators.
Edward Morris and Edward Swift
were in coart and both smiled hap
pily when the decision was announc

OFFICIALS DENY SA*lE OF ROAD.
President of Northern Makes State
ment to^ublic.
The presence of President Spencer
of the Southern railway and a num
ber of other prominent Southern rail
way officials in New Orleans, Friday,
revived the rumors of the purchase
of the Northeastern railroad by the
Southern, to gain an entrance into
New Orleans, but President Spencer
and President C. C. Harvey of the
Northeastern both deny the reported
deal.
A Washington special says: Taking
slyup issue with President Roosevelt,
the house committee on judiciary de
dares it cannot follow his recommen
dations that congress provide for fe4-
eral control of great corporations and,
if possible, for the control of life In
surance as interestate commerce.
Coming as does its report from the
republican majority of the committee
on judidary, this report has all tha
essentials of a repudiation by leading
members of his party in congress of
these features of President Roose
velt’s message.
The report in question denies the
right of the federal goverament to
take away from the states their police
powers, expressing its dissent in
strong language.
“Let it be said kiftdly, but not of-
feneively," is the language of the re
port, “that it. is a monstrous doc
trine, subversive of our dual system
of government, to even suggest, after
the distribution of these great powers
between the federal government and
the states, that the federal govern
ment created by the states can take
from the states the power they have
always enjoyed and which is expressly
reserved to them by the constitution.
Hamilton himself never made such
a claim.’’
The report has been drafted by
Chairman Jenkins of the committee
and is now in the hands of the mem
bers of the committee for thsir pe
rusal. An unofficial poll of the mem
bers of the committee indicates that
with practically no exceptions they
concur in the correctness of this con
clusion. The report of Mr. Jenkins
may, therefore, be taken as the basis
of the answer the committee is to
make to the house in compliance with
the Instructions of that body
The report collates all of the im
portant court decisions on the ques
tions involved, treats each exhaustive
ly and reduces the whole problem to
these two principles.
• “The supreme court of the United
States has declared, and has never
been shaken or weakened in main
taining, first, that insurance Is not
commerce, and second that congress
cannot impaif the police powers of
the states.”
The advocates of federal regulation
concede, according to the report, that
insurance is not commerce.
“The advocates of federal supervis

ireiy opiionai
A Manila special says; According
to advices received Sunday, the re
cent fight at Magtaon, Samar, between
the constabulary and Pulajanes was
the result of base treachery on the
part of the natives. As a result of
the fight thirty Putajanes were killed
and sixteen of the constabulary were
killed and wounded.
A* dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magaton,
says that on March 23 Governor Cur
ry, Judge I^>binger and Superintend
ent of Schools Hoover arrived there
and camped over night near the Pula
janes.
The presence of the officials was
made known to *he rebellious natives,
and their leader announced that he
would surrender his force the next
day. As a result of this promise the
Americans returned to the town of
Magtaon, accompanied by Colonel
Aguilar, a Pulajane chief.
The next day, Saturday, four chiefs
of the Pulajanes with over one hun
dred men and fourteen guns appeared
at Magtaon, and lined up in front of
the constabulary barracks. Between
the barracks and the Pulajanes stood
the group of American officials.
One of the chiefs expressed a wish
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Superintend
ent Hoover, in compliance with the
request, was adjusting his camera
when the' Pulajanes leader blew a
whistle and gave an order to advance.
The entire party of natives thereupon
rushed upon the American officials,
who escaped to the Magtaon river, and
swam to the opposite bank.
When the treachery of the natives
was apparent the constabulary imme
diately opened fire and a fierce fight
ensued, in w-hich the constabulary
gained a decisive victory. TJie Pula
janes were chased to the mountains,
but the pursuers lost more guns than
they captured.
The Americans were laler found
with the exception of Governor Curry.
He was last seen being chased by Pu-
mit or exclnffe insurance corporations.
Hence, it follows that the state has
entire power to regulate. The busi
ness can be carried out without com
mercial transit and it is only during
commercial transit that federal power
can be exercised.
The difficulty of administering fed
eral regulations is emphasized as fol
lows:
“What can congress act upon under
its power to regulate interstate com
merce? Congress cannot prevent the
making of a contract of insurance be
tween a company in New York and a
resident of Oregon. After the con
tract is made, when will the power of
congress attach, and to w’hat? The
policy and premium are not merchan
dise. As the power of congress does
not attach until the merchandise is
In commercial transit, it could not
become active until the policy and
premium start on their journey and
would terminate when the place of
designation is reached and the duty
and power of congress would be to
protect both in transit, and that is
the limit of congressional power.”
la janes, and it *is now believed he
is hiding in the dense brush in that
locality.
Three hundred constabulary are now
on the trail of the fugitives and
searching for Governor Curry.

PROFESSOR GOES NO PEN.
College Man Sentenced /at Tampa,
Florida, for Counterfeiting.
At Tampa, Fla., Friday, Judge Boar-
man sentenced George HL Stephens,
former professor in Lafayette college,
at Easton. Pa., to a term of two
years in the penitentiary for counter
feiting. The term will date from the
incarceration of Stephens, eight
months'ago. Stephens wept when led
away by the officers.
Seven persons representing three
generations of one family were killed
Saturday on the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad at Hass Crossing,
one miles south of Sunbury, Pa.
The dead: G. H. Neidig, aged 63
jears: Clarence Neidig, aged 41; Silas
Neidig, aged 36. son of the first nam
ed; Mrs. Clarence Neidig, aged 30,
and their three children. Mary, aged
4 years; Blanche, aged 6. and Gilbert,
aged 2. All of the victims were in
stantly killed with the exception of
Blancne, who died later at a hos
pital.
There was to have been a family
reunion at the home of G. H. Neidig,
at Augustaville, a small village near
by, and the latter had driven to
the home of his sons to convey the
party to Augustaville.
At Hass Crossing the Pennsylva
nia railroad and the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad run parallel a short
distance apart. A curve renders on3
road invisible from the other and to
this fact the accident was due.
The wagon containing the seven
persons had crossed the Pennsylvania
tracks and had just reached the Read
ing tracks when an express train,
northbound from Shamokin. ran into
the vehicle. The occupants of the
wagon were thrown or dragged man.
feet by the locomotive and their Ind
ies were terribly mangled.
Decision in the Beef Packers’ Case
Causes Gloom in Washington.
A Washington dispatch says: The
administration is greatly distressed
over the decision in the packers’ case
at Chicago, and makes no secret of
the fact.
Not only is Attorney General Moodv
convinced that there is small hope in
taking an .‘ppeal in the case of mem
bers of the so called beef trust who
were acquitted in Chicago, but the
belief is strong that if the decision of
Judge Humphreys holds good, there
is no prospect of obtaining the con
viction of any individual promoter of
monopoly if he or his associates have
mane arty disclosures to Mr. Garfield,
commissioner of corporations.
Mr. Ghrfield has been active in a
number of different lines along which
the administration has expected to
push prosecutions under the antitrust
law. Under the decision of the court
at Chicago immunity has, voluntarily,
as it were, been won by a great many
of these alleged violators of the law.
For the decision of the court is that
whether these men have sought im
munity or not, immunity flows to
them under the terms of the act un
der which the bureau of corporations
have been operating.
^Washington dispatch says: Hon.
n Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
democratic leader of the house of rep
resentatives, raises his voice in vigor
ous protest against the remarkable
contention of Tom Watson, that it
makes no difference if the south’s
representation in congress Is reduced.
Being queried on the subject Mr.
Williams said:
“It is a curious question to ask a
sane man. You might about ar well
ask me, if it was of no interest or
value to a man to cut off one of his
arms, with which he fights and with
which he resists.
“The answer seems so obvious that
it is hard t« answer at all. In addi
tion to the ordinary legislation con
cerning rivers and harbors, rural free
delivery and the hundred and one
other things, in which each part of
the union is interested in seeing that
it gets justice and fair dealing, there
are the great principles of a funda-
meqjal character, concerning which
people differ, not only as individuals,
but. as seciions. The less votes a sec
tion has, the less its power to do ^ts
own will, or to resist others when4hev
would do their will against it.
“If the south had had less repre
sentation than it now has, the re
publicans would have had a two-
thirds majority—and therefore a con
stitution-changing majority—in a half
dozen congresses, where they have
not had it. In addition to all this,
there are sentimental reasons why
the south wants to remain as strong
as possible in the popular body of
the national legislature. “Her tradi
tions and ideals are strong in propor
tion to her representation.”
No recent political development has
so stirred the senators and represen
tatives from the southern states as

Col. Elliott to Mark Graves.
A Washington dispatch is as fol
lows: Colonel William Eliott of Beau
fort, S. C., formerly a representative
in congress trom ihat state, has been
selected by Secretary Taft to be a
commissioner to mark the graves ot
Confederate soldiers who died in
northern prisons. There has been
keen competition for this place on the
part of the Confederate veterans.
Colonel Eliott served for fourteen
years in congress, and is a distin
guished lawyer. He is a veteran of
the Confederate army, having served
under General S. I), lyoe, and gaining
his promotion to the colonelcy by gal
lantry in action at Vicksburg. He
was present in all of the great battles
in Virginia up to 1863, at which time
he was transferred to the west. He
was present at the battles of Vicks
burg. Harrisonburg. Atlanta, Jones
boro. Franklin, ’Newborn, Nashville
and Bontonville, in the last of which
he was wounded.
Big Concern to Dcvelcp Power.
Officials of the Southern Power com
pany, the $7,000,000 concern that is
now lighting the streets of Charlotte,
N. C’., and furnishing electricity for
other purposes from a plant on tha
Catawba river, seventeen miles south
cf the city, will shortly be ready to
guarantee the delivery of power from
the big development at Great Falls,
this state, by January 1st, 1907. The
transmission lines will be stretched
up the river to the Catawba plant,
near Rock Hill, and from that point
the current will be distributed to Gas
tonia, Mt. Holly, Fort Mill, Rock Hill,
Charlotte and all other adjacent
points.
It is understood that the power will
be centered in this territory until i*
is fully developed. Several of the
mills that are now being operated by
steam have already signed contracts
for the new power, and it is believed
that the transmission lines will cobt
from $5,000 to $8,000 per mile. They
will be unsusually heavy and hence
costly.
