OVER CLEVELAND, 0.,
DOING GREAT DAMAGE
CLEVELAND. Ohio, July 1.—A
cloudburst broke over this city this
afternoon doing great damage. Within
five minutes from 1:01 to 1:06 p. m„
the precipitation was 43-100 of an
inch. Cellars were flooded in business
houses and street car traffic on the
down town car lines was badly demor
alized for two hours. The sewers were
not able to carry oft the flood of water
tind soon many blocks were flooded
with backwater. The brooks and
creeks which line Forest Hill, the
Rockefeller estae, were clearly trans
formed to into raging torrents, but ac
cording to report only nominal damage
was done there.

The Argument May
Have Been Illegal
WASHINGTON, July 1.—The Inter
state Commerce Commission today in
an opinion by Commissioner Prouty,
announced its decision in the case of
the China and Japan Trading Com
pany and others against the Georgia
Railroad and other lines forming
through rates to the Pacific coast,
holding that the complaint of discrim
ination against Southern cotton mills
in favor of New England mills is not
sustained. .It appeared that the car
rier’s rates on cotton piece goods from
New England mills, through Pacific
coast points to the Orient is $11.25 for
forty cubic feet of measured space,
equivalent to about 85 i cents per 100
pounds; through rates cm the same ar
ticle from Southern mills over the
same route is $1.25 per 100 pounds.
The commission states that the evi
dence of complainants strongly tended
to show that an Illegal agreement to
advance rates on cotton piece goods
was entered into by trans-continental
lines and that the advanced rates were
put in force in consequence of that
agreement; buL-It does not pass upon
that question,'because If it were an
swered in favor of complainant the
commission would still be of the opin
ion that this would afford no ground
for either reducing the rate from
Southern mills or awarding repara
tion.
The mere fact that the advance was
the product of an unlawful combina
tions, says the commission, will not
justify it in setting aside such rate
if the commission is of the opinion
that the rate is not unreasonably
higher.

BOISE, Idaho, July 1.—Morris
Friedman, a Russian stenographer,
who left the employment of the Pink
erton agency at Denver to write a.
book in which he published certain
correspondence of the agency that
passed through their hands, was again
today the principal figure at the trial
of William D. Haywood for the mur
der of Former Governor Steunenberg.
More than half of the court's day was
occupied in reading to the jury copies
of the documents which were made
from Pinkerton records. They were
chiefly the daily reports of secret
agents operating as spies among the
unions at Cripple Creek. Victor,
Globeville. Colorado City, Trinidad and
Denver, and showed a complete sur
veillance of the Western Federation
of Miners and the United Mine Work
ers of America during the labor
troubles in Colorado In 1003-04. Pink
erton men sat in the federation con
vention at Denver in 1904, represent
ing all proceedings.
None of the reports that were pro
duced by Friedman and read to the
jury by Clarence Darrow, contained
other than general references to the
collateral issues of the trial but they
were offered in substantiation of the
which he produced, hut the witness

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.—The first In

this city were put to work in the main
office of the Postal and Western Union
today. The operators have been drawn
from the offices in the Eastern cities to
fill the vacancies here until the companies
can engage new men. More are expected
to arrive within two or three days. The
men stated that they had been sent for
temporary work, and would return to
their regular posts as soon as operators
could be engaged for local offices. The
non-union operators are being paid large
bonuses for their work. The new-comers
displayed great anxiety to avoid the of

ing that they did not wish, to he recog

tor Borah to call him a Pinkerton.
He Insisted that it was not stealing
to take Information that had been ob
tained by fraud and deciet of secret
service men and declared that the
public service which he performed in
informing the people of the methods
of the agency fully justified anything
that he had done. Friedman said
Qorwoi Can/iro that If he had known this trial was
l/I ^CviCf ^CIVRC coming up he would have taken many
more letters and reports. Senator
Borah pressed him to tell just what
records there were in the Pinkerton
office at Denver bearing directly on
this case; and while the witness
said he could not tell him of any
particular one, he remembered many
letters written by Detective McPart-
land in which all manner of crimes
were laid at the door of the Federa
tion of Miners.
Another Interesting witness was
James L Wallace, an attorney of
Cripple Creek, who served with the
militia, first as a private, and 'then as
a lieutenant during the strike of 1903-
04. He related several instances as
tending to show, the misuse of the
power ofthe militia by the mine-own
ers; gave the criminal records of
some of the gun fighters imported by
the mine owners; told of the workings
of the card system! recited the cir
cumstances connected with the loot
ing of union stores and a newspaper
office, and swore that he saw K. C.

WATCHMAN LONG WAS
MURDERED ON DUTY
CHICAGO, July 1.—John Long, 6S years
old, a watchman In the Lavelle Manu
facturing Company’s factory at No. 9
Dayton street, was murdered while on
duty yesterday. Two hours after Long's
body had been discovered on the first
floor of the building, the police found
Joseph Voelkel. aged 30, a former employe
of the company, lying in the rear of the
factory. Voelkel was mortally wounded
and near him lay a revolver with three
chambers empty. He died last night.
Long’s watch and torn chain were found
in Voelkel’s pocket.
Voelkel and the old watchman were
friends, to all appearances, but fellow
employes said the young man was deep
in debt and that the two quarrelled fre
quently over money matters. Voekel is
supposed to have gone to the factory to
get more money, or to continue the old
arguments. What took place in the fac
tory no one knows.

SAVANNAH, Ga., July 1.—Professor
John A. Leible and Miss Vernee Sheri
dan, proprietors of the New York Con
servatory of Music, at 24 Broughton
street, west, have disappeared simul-
taniously with a number of valuable
violins belonging to their pupils and
rewards have been offered for their
arrest. Miss Sheridan was the actress
about whom two members of a troupe
of players at Gaffney, S. C., were kill
ed about a year and a half ago. The
shooting was because she said she had
'been insulted. Rewards have been of
fered for Leible and Miss .Sheridan.
Besides the pupils who owned violins,
musical furniture people, landlord and
others are out on the deal. Professor
Leible and Miss Sheridan, it is' said,
were seen at the Central depot Friday

bound for Atlanta, and it was stated
that they had been seen in Macon.

CLEVELAND, O. July 1.—From an
authoritative source it was learned
that Mr. Rockefeller expects to spend
the fourth of July with his family at
Forest Hill. He possibly will arrive In
Cleveland tomorrow.
A member of the Rockefeller house
hold said today that when Mr. Rocke
feller arrived it would not be neces
sary for any. process server, Federal or
otherwise, to search for him, as Mr.
Rockefeller undoubtedly would make
his presence known to officials desir
ing to serve him with subpoena papers.
United States Marshal- Chandler was
an early visitor today at Forest Hill.
Chandler, however, did not get farther
than the lodge at tjie entrance to the
estate. Patrick Lynch, the lodge keep
er, declared positively that Mr. Rocke
feller was not at . Forest Hill. A car
riage entered the gates about this
time, and the marshal stopped It long
enough to inspect the occupants. Mr.
Rockefeller was not in the vehicle,
however, and it proceeded up to the
hill top, the Rockefeller residence.
Marshal Chandler upon being ques

BUI to Restrict the Press.
ATLANTA, July 1.—Representative
T. A. Adkins, of Dooly county, has
prepared an interesting measure
which he proposes to introduce in the
House of Representatives this week.
It proposes to prohibit the publica
tion in any newspaper In the State the
details of any outrageous crime, or
the details of any lynching, or the le
gal execution of any criminal. The
bill is aimed particularly at the pub
lication of salacious matter of any
sort, and specifies as prohibited the
detailed evidence before courts of such
crimes or of divorce tcaseB. It is
sweeping in its prohibition as to this
class of publications, including also
advertisements of certain patent
medicines. The proprietor of a news
paper who violates 1he law is to be
held guilty of a misdemeanor. The
idea is said to have grown largely out
of the Atlanta riot for which certain
newspaper publications are alleged to
have been largely responsible.
