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.

July 1.—In refus ing some of the prayers in behalf of. former Associate Statistician Holmes of the Department of Agriculture for certain instructions to the jury in his trial on the charge pf betraying the secrets of the department.

They were the two persons in all the world who could testify whether or not the charge of conspir- . acy was true. If the charge was nol 1 true, and Holmes’ statement was, founded on fact, they would not im peril their own freedom in appearing; in court and corroborating Holmes’; testimony. If. on tile other hand, the' charges against him were true, they cold protect themselves by refusing to: testify on the ground of self-incrimi- t e of I nation, that I Judge SOUTHERN’S SIS! WAS IIP FOP MSOHT 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 he had stolen TO WORK IN FRISCO SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.—The first In stalment of strike breakers to take the places of telegraphers now on strike 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 ficers of the Telegraphers’ Union, declar ing that they did not wish, to he recog nized. HALF AN HOUR YESTERDAY Bill Proposed to Restrict Publication of Outrages and Salacious Matter would not admit that the papers and would nbt allow Sena- 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. Sterling, chief detective for the Pink ertons. fire the first shot in the Vic tor today in the Independence station explosion. Droll Witness. M. E.

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.

Counsel for the defense today said that they might succeed in finishing with all their witnesses except Hay wood and Moyer by the end of the week. Their plan is to reserve these two principals for the last.

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.

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. ran 8 co. bus in RECEIVER.S HANDS BALTIMORE.

Both bills make it a misdemeanor to sell, barter or to give away any sort of liquors for the purpose of introducing trade, and the only exceptions made are the sale of alcohol by druggists for a scienti fic and mechanical purposes alone, and the manufacture and sale of do mestic wines and cider. The prohi bitionists are going to try. to get the measure through without amendment, even forbidding as stated, the sale of liquors for medicinal purposes.
