J. OGDEN A MOI R TELLS WHY MEAT IS HIGH •'Coi sat present very high. an<l this cause* Jhe price of meat to be so high, •nl't J. Ogden Armour, the millionaire, at the terminal station Monday afternoon vl;t*e traveling from Palm Beach. Fla., to Chicago hi ills private car. With Mr. Armour in his private car. ’’The M iscon eln. ’ were his cousin. Watson Armour, and Arthur Meeker and Howard Gillette. They have been visiting in Florida for one week "Though meat is very high just at pres ent. it will be much cheaper this sum mer,” added Mr. Armour. "The price is fixed on account of the high price of feed htg It is the increased price in corn that is keeping the meat at such high fig ures. We expect the price of corn to drop this summer, and then the price of meat Will drop. “But don’t talk to me so much about meat. I am off on a vacation of a week and would prefer not to talk of business matters. Be- the way. you have a mighty fine place here. We have big interests lo cated tn Atlanta and they always have done a big business. Atlanta is a great hustling city and is known all over the United States.” The coming of Mr. Ogden was a com plete surprise to all. None of his repre sentatives here knew that he was expect ed. and none of them were present at the terminal station to welcome him. The first known was when Fred McMillan, city passenger agent of the Southern, recei' eJ a telegram from the conductor on the Florida special which read. "J.

I STANDARD OIL AND REPUBLIC OIL COMPANIES LOSE .MOTIONS I VOR REHEARING OF SUITS DE- ! CIDED AGAINST THEM. | JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. March | The motions of the Standard.OH company I iof Indiana and the Republic Oil com . ; pany of Ohio, for a re-hearing of the | ouster suit recently decided against them i :and for a modification of the judgment. ’ were overruled by the Missouri supreme | | court today. • The position of the \\ aters-1 ierce Oil I company was withheld, the motion of the | attorney general for an absolute oustei !of the Missouri company being denied, ‘the compliance with the court order re | cently filed by the company ’approved 1 cn the. judgment of ouster against it be ling suspended. The effect of these decisions is to ,e>- pel the Indiana and Ohio companies from Miswmrt and to restore to the Wa- I ters-Pierce company sixty per cent of i whose slock is held by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, the right to do I business within the state. No formal opinion in the premises was read. Chief Justice Valliant limply an nouncing the git of the court s decision. Justices 1-arnni and Woodson dissented. The Standard Oil interests are expect ed to appeal from the decision and carry i their case to the supreme court of the j • United &&tea» Considered Great Victory The decision is considered a great victory for the Waters-Pierce company., and incidentally for the minority in- ; terest of that concern who claim to , have been making unavailing efforts to i I frac the companv from control by the New Jersey corporation. With this object in view, they decline .’ to approve the proposition made by the i Standard Oil company, of Indiana, that ■ that company be allowed to continue ■ I business in the state under a trustee- j ' ship composed of reports of the court j I and the company. This proposition excited the liveliest interest in that it would have given to the state a measure of direct con trol of a corporation's affairs, had It been adopted by the court. But It was ignored, in the announcement by the | chief justice, which simply stated that I the motion for a modiilcatlon of the j ouster decrees had been overruled. Must Each Pay $30,000 With the judgment of ouster made absolute against the Standard Oil com pany.’of Indiana, and the Republic OH company, these concerns must now pay their tines of $50,00U each and cease business in the state. The $50,000 assessed against the Waters-Pierce company has been paid. When informed of the court s action ; today. Attorney General Major said: "The decision simply means that the Waters-Pierce will not be ousted from the state at this time. However, the original judgment of the court will stand against it. so that if it violates the court's decree the state can renew its application of ouster." STANDARD OIL CASE TAKES RADICAL TURN CHICAGO. : March ’9.—The govern ment's case in the re-trial of the Stand ard Oil company, of Indiana, which so far has fared unfortunately in Judge I Anderson's court, narrowly avoided a ! death blow today. .

' and East St. Louis at tije. time of the ( I offenses with which the defendant is charged, and that the defendant know ingly accepted a Lower secret rate... The court declared that the government must convince him that it would be able to prove this. , At the request of Assistant District Attorney Wilkerson, court unexpectedly I adjourned until tomorrow to allow time ’ for the preparations of arguments to show that the required evidence woultf I be forthcoming. Judge Anderson's ruling will. It is said, compel the government to ask for leave to amend the indictment. TAFT PRESSED LIPS ON SIGNIFICANT VERSE II WASHINGTON, March 10.—Through James H. McKinney, the veteran clerk of the supreme court of the Vnited States, has just come to light the fact that Presl | dent Taft's lips fell upon a very signitl | cant passage tn the Bible when, after iak ' Ing the oath of office, he kissed the sacred 1 volume. Mr. McKinney held for the chief i justice the book used in connection with I the administering of the oath. He presented, it to Mr. Taft and after the latter had sworn to bear truth, faith and allegiance. Ire reverently leaned over and touchejd his lips to the open faqe of the book. They.fell upon the third chap ter of First. Kings, at the j»oint beginning. ■ ‘'Give, therefore; thy servant an under ' standing heart to judge thy people, that II may discern between good and bad; for I who is able to judge this Thy so great I j people?” This was the prayer of Solomon at the , beginning,of his reign, and the passage I ! cfo»* s wjtj, the statement that the prayer | • wawwrrswered because of its unselfish ' character.

STANDARD OIL JURY URDEREDIO ACQUIT JUDGE ANDERSON INSTRUCTS JURY TO RETURN A VERDICT THAT OIL TRUST IS NOT GUILTY. CHICAGO. March 10.-Judge Anderson today decided to instruct the jury in the Standard Oil case to find the company not guilty. The decision of the court was announc ed at the close of a Idng argument by Assistant District Attorney Wilkkerson and tire jury was immediately summoned and instructed to return a verdict of not guilty., Thirs means that all but two of the pending indictments against the Standard Oil coippany of Indiana are void and will be ab^hdobed, by the government, ; The two cases not affected by today's decision are cases involving the shipment of 1,915 carloads of pll from Whitings Ind., to Kvansvtlle. Ind.,, via Dolton Junction, over the Chicago and Eastern" Illinois rail road. ~ ‘ • The re - trial of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana on the charge of accepting rebates from the Chicago and Alton railroad opened this morning upon a crucial stage of its his tory’.? In the face o/ adverse rulings by Judge Anderson the government attor neys overnight decided jo abandon the idea of additions to the bill ot particulars, covertng the detects pointed out by -the cornT anti began their arguments. In the hope of getting Judge Anderson to re verse his decisions. The Standard Oil lawyers expressed the opinion that the case would be brought to a close soon, but the federal attorneys said they were prepared to fight until the case was actually thrown out of court. The first line of argument was against the court’s indicated decision that the lu cent rate under which thel Indictment was drawn could not be established by means of the Illinois classification. Acocrding to the government’s point of view the published rate on oil from Whit ing. Ind., to East St. Louts was 18 cents. This was established by means of tariff 24 in its application to the Illinois classi fication issued In 1899. Tn 1900 a new Illinois classification was Issued and the interpretation of the court's opinion is that this invalidated the old tariffs. STANDARD OIL COMPANY WILL MAKE A BOND JEFFERSON CITY. Mo..

BROTHERS BATTLE FOR LIFE IN MINE SALT LAKE, Utah. March 10.—Two brothers. Jerry and George Peterson, en tombed since 4 o'clt>ck Monday afternoon in a narrow space behind tons of earth, their lives depehdent upon a two-inch pipe until willing workers clear away the barrier; with- but little nourishment for over 24 hours‘and lacking fresh air, these men are the principals in a scene of tragic intensity now being enacted in a little mine high up in the mountainside six miles east of Murray 1 . _ Word received at 2 o'clock this nftirning is to the effect that the rescue party was within two feet <?f the entombed men when another cave-in occurred, placing six feet more of earth between the rescue party and the prisoners. Just before the last cave-in, the rescuers talked to the prisoners, one of whom is desperately 111 and may die if aid does not reach him soon. It is thought the prisoners may be released by o’clock this morning. The men are standing in two feet of water. The tunnel had been driven about 350 feet and Monday afternoon the men had prepared a blast. As they fired the fuse and started to run to safety they were halted with fear by seeing the roof and sides of the tunnel begin to slide in. With an instant appreciation of the dan ger, however, and realizing the chances of being caught beneath the falling earth, Jerry hastily threw a length of the iron pipe beneath the cave-in. The pipe lies flat on the ground without providing a means of draft, and it was not until yes terday afternoon that fresh air was sup plied by means of a bellows. It was found possible to use the pipe to provide food by inserting a rubber tupe and in that way supplying milk to the imprisoned men. GIRL LOSES APPENDIX BY DOCTOR’S MISTAKE HARRISBURG. Pa.. March 9.—Rose Cohen, an eight-year-old girl, is conval escing in the Harrisburg hospital after having been operated on Sunday for ap pendicitis by mistake. The child and her 11-year-old brother were sent to the in stitution suffering with enlarged tonsils. In some unexplained manner the girl was given an anaesthetic and her appen dix was taken out. The surgeons say that the appendix was somewhat in flamed and they did not discover the'r mistake until the parents called. The humorous feature of the case is the asertion that the condition of the little girl’s appendix showed that she would have developed appendicitis any way, and that the operation, therefore, was a fortunate mistake. WOULDN’T GO BACK To Old Days of Coffee Trouble Studious, sedentary habits are apt to cause indigestion. dyspepsia. nervous headaches, etc., but often it’s the daily use of coffee that is at the bottom of the whole trouble, and it is surprising how quickly these troubles disappear when coffee is dropped and well-made Postum is the daily beverage. ... A No. Dak. minister writes of the relief obtained when ire changed from coffee- to Pvstum. He says: "1 began using .Postum about a year ago while stopping at the home of friends during the absence of my wife. “It seemed almost providential. for during that time I got rid of coffe and its attendant Ills. I used to have bilious attacks about every two weeks that completely used me up for a day or two at a time. •1 did not suspect coffee and was un able to account for these attacks. Sinct- I began Postum T have had but one slight attack and the change to restored health is most acceptable. “My wife declared on her return that nothing would induce her to give up cof fee. but after a few careful preparations of Postum. according to direction* on pkg., she thought it was superior to cof fee in flavour, and now’ we would not change back to coffee.

BLDN B NOT GET NEAR-CRBINET JOB HITCHCOCK WOULK LIKE TO ELEVATE SAVANNAH POST- MASTER, BUT TAFT CALLS 1 HALT. Hr Ralph Smith WASHINGTON. March 10.—Confirma tion of Postmaster- General Hitchcock’s desire to appoint Meftry Biun, Jr., post master at’ Savannafl, to be third assist ant postmaster general came today’’ When it was learned that President Taft has written M. Hitchcock a Irtter suggesting that he make no further promises until he. has first consulteH the president. As a result, it is said. Mr. Hitchcock may abandon his purpose of elevating the Savannah postmaster to a "near cabinet position, although it is known that the postmaster general entertains the kindliest feelings for Blun. The story of Blun’s probable appoint ment to be third assistant was first pub lished in The Journal. A copy of the paper fell into the' hands of Abraham L. Lawrie, the present third assistant, and when Mr. Taft came to Washington prior to his inauguration, Lawshe visited him at the Boardman residence. He exhibited ti’.e newspaper clippings and wanted to know about it. He thought It peculiar that all arrangements had been made to remove him from office even be fore there was a change of administra tion. . Mr. Taft played ignorance to any sucn plan, it is said, and wrote a polite letter to Ur. Hitchcock suggesting the proprie ty of first consutling him before dis posing of such patronage.

CONGRESS TO MEET ON MONDAY NEXT I ■ • I NEW TARIFF MEASURE WILL PROBABLY BE READ BEFORE HOUSE AS SOON AS IT IS OR GANIZED. WASHINGTON. March 10.—The new tariff oiit wilt probably see the light Tor the first time next Tuesday. The. desire .<sf the members of the house committee oh ways and means is to have it 'intro-. duced in the house on the first day prac ticable. The probabilities are there will be so much to do in the way of organ izing the house and getting ready for business that it will be impossible to have it presented on the first day. There is much detail in getting a new Congress started off. Possibly the one ceremony which attracts the most atten tion is the election of the speabker but when, as is the case at present, there is only one candidate that requires com paratively little time. In addition, it is necessary to elect all the officers of the house, to admin ister the oaths to all the members, to decide upon the parliamentary rules and. more tedious and time consuming than any of these proceedings, it is necessa ry to allot seats to all the members. The allotment of seats is accomplished by lottery process and generaly consumes two or three hours. This year a tight on the adoption of the old rules is threatened and there is no telling how long it will last. It is believed that the various ceremo nies will consume the entire day Mon day and that the receipt of the presi dent's message and the introduction of the tariff bill will necessarily be post poned until Tuesday. If the rules should be changed there would be greater delay. Antit-Injunction Bill Through an attempt to codify and re vise the laws affecting the jurisdiction and practices of the tederal courts, con gress may be brought face to face during the special session with the necessity ot considering the proposed anti-injunction bills and the equally troublesome question of conflict between federal and state courts. Within a week after the sixty-first con gress convenes the joint committee on the revision of the laws of the United States will be prepared to report on the revision and codification of the laws con cerning the jurisdiction and practice of the federal courts. The first work of this committee, the codification and the re vision of the penal laws, has just been approved by congress with a few amend ments. Shipment of Liquors ' As the penal code bill was amended so as to fasten to it a "rider” the Knox- Humphreys bill for the federal regulation of the Interstate shipment of intoxicating liquors, so it is anticipated that advocates ofanti-lnjunction legislation will attempt to graft their bill on the judiciary codifi cation. Efforts will be made at the beginning of the special session to have the senate consider the codification. The work might be completed possibly by the time the tariff bill gets over from the house. When the senate fs considering the tariff meas i ure an attempt will be made to bring the codification bill before the house. Probably the most important change in ! the judiciary laws determined upon is that by which-alb the‘jurisdiction of the circuit court of appeals is conferred upon the circuit cotirts. The committee pro ; poses to take' awey . from the circuit courts all original Jurisdiction, giving it to the district courts and to change the name of the “circuit court of appeals” to “circuit courts;” ThA circuit court Os appeals was estab lished to relieve the supreme court of the United States. In 1890 a bill was enacted into law which while preserving the orig- I the original jurisdiction of the circuit abolished their appellate jurisdiction and instituted the circuit court of appeals to exercise an appellate jurisdiction ovet certain final judgments and decrease of district courts, while others went directly to the supreme court. The commission of 1897 to revise the laws reported in favor of the abolition ot the original jurisdiction of thee ircurl courts. As the circuit courts without ap pellate jurisdiction would have the au thority to try’ no cases, it was recom mended that the appellate jurisdiction of hte circuit courts of appeal devolve upon them. This recommendation the joint committee is now prepared to present to the senate and the house. KINGDON GOULD NAMED RAILWAY DIRECTOR NEW YORK. March 10.—Kingdon Gould, the 22-year-old son of George J. Gould, who yesterday was elected a di rector of the Missouri Pacific railroad, left Columbia university last year after pursiUng the engineering course for four years.
