CHIEF SPEAKS Says Rebates on Railroads Were Legal Until the Law Forbade Them, DR. GLADDEN MAKES ANSWER Moderator Declare* H. H. Rogers' Statement Does Not Put the Case in Better Light, Even if Company Obeyed the Law. New York dispatch: H. H. Rogers, vice president and director of the Standard Oil company^ Friday made a statement as to the conduct of ih$ Standard Oil company which was ev­ idently prompted by the criticism of the prudential committee o£ the ican board of foreign missions for ac­ cepting a gift of $100,000 .from John D. Rockefeller, Mr. Rogers said': "Ministers say queer things. Dr. Washington Glad­ den says that everybody knows that John D. Rockefeller has obtained his money dishonestly. With as much reason I could say that everybody knows that Dr. Gladden would not trust the ten commandments for ten days with the deacons of his churtih because they would surely break some of them and bend the rest,. Slavery in certain sections of the United States was legal until Presi­ dent Lincoln's emancipation procla­ mation. Rebates on railroads w'ere just as legal until the passage of the interstate commerce commission act." Policy Is Shameful... Columbus, Ohio, special: Dr. Wash­ ington Gladden, moderator of the great council of the Congregational churches of the Unitejl States, gave out the following reply to the state­ ment of H. H. Rogers: "Mr. Rogers alleges that the vast sums extorted in rebates by the Standard Oil com­ pany from its competitors were 'legal­ ly' taken, because no law explicity forbade them. What I said was that the money was 'flagitiously' acquired. "To coerce the railroads into an ar­ rangement by which it received large rebates, not only on its own oil, but on all the oil sent by its competi­ tors; to force the railways Jo rob its competitor for its enrichment, was, I submit, a flagitious policy, a shame­ ful policy. Doubts Company's Virtue. The denial that rebates have been extorted since the interstate com­ merce law was passed is not credible. I know from statements made to my­ self by parties implicated -that such rebates have been exacted by other corporations. I doubt if the Standard Oil company is more virtuous than the rest. But it is true that it has now gained a power in the classifica­ tion and control of rates which makes it unnecessary to use the system of rebates," „ Old comrades here as possible.

The Jiji declares that the suc­ cessive reverses have not affected Russia. Emperor Nicholas, the paper adds, is unwilling to sacrifice the prestige of his house or surrender the position of controlling Influence Russia has heretofore held over the powers of Europe. , Field Marshal Oyama's army will continue Its for­ ward movement and not give Russia a breathing moment. The Kokumin pronounces the war to be senseless and wasteful on the part of Russia, but the paper says if she chooses to shut her eyes to the light of reason Japan will profit by her blindness. The Nichi Nichi says France alone is capable of taking the initiative in persuading Russia to negotiate for peace, but the Nichi Nichi doubts if Russia would accept France's ad­ vice, "because the peace terms will mean the death of the. bureaucracy and the bureaucracy is not commit­ ting suicide."

Washthgton dispatch:* The navy department has ordered the cruiser Brooklyn from Guantanamo, Cuba, tp Port au Prince, Hayti, to look after American interests there. "The war is over!" shout the carni­ val crowds in the boulevards at Paris, echoing the dispatches and editorials of the newspapers. The embassies %re closed, for, like every one else, the diplomats are en joying the mid-Lent festivities. But rumors that peace is Imminent fill the air. For verification of these rumors all France looks to Washington. The Pet- It Parisien's special correspondent in Washington states positively these things: 1. That the Japanese have made known to President Roosevelt the terms on which they will make peace. 2. That President Roosevelt will act as intermediary, together" with France's foreign minister, M. Del- casse, in presenting Japan's terms to Russia. 3. That this pacific step will be taken as soon as Russia gives assur­ ances to Roosevelt and Delcasse that she will meet Japan-halfway. , ^ 4. That those. assurances Vjrill be made very soon. > ,• Minister Delcasse is doing his ut­ most to bring about peace. Unable to induce Bernier, Rouvier and the other cabinet ministers to adopt his extreme views, M. Delcasse is acting alone. Another fact looking to peace is that, although the czar Is anxious to continue the war, the French bankers have made the condition that if they lend Russia more money she must call out no more troops except to sup­ press internal disorders and ttiust send into the field in the far east only the troops already mobilized. The rumor that the czar tried to commit suicide is ridiculed. He is quoted as saying that if he should sign a treaty of peace he would no longer be czar, but this is interpreted to signify that if he did sign lie would be compelled to give his subjects a voice in the government. Russia Decides for War. The foreign office at St. Petersburg pontinues to maintain that Russia has taken nb official step, which certainly is literally true. There is an im­ portant admission, however, that Ambassador Jusserand on - his own responsibility may have given Presi­ dent Roosevelt the French Idea of Russia's position. The French em­ bassy insists that it has no knowl­ edge of what move, if any, has been made. It is understood that the imperial commission under the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, which has been considering the ques-» tion of prosecuting the war, has com­ pleted its preliminary report and fa­ vors a' continuation of the war, finding nothing in the present situation either r ctrnztf MM-mc/r (Kouropatkin's Successor.) financial or military to prevent its prosecution. Members of the" war party are in­ dustriously insinuating that if Rus­ sian diplomacy is doing anything in the direction of peace it is without Im­ perial sanction and is in reality only an official endeavor to induce Japan to agree to rfegotiate on the lines of no cession of territory and no indem­ nity and to enable the advocates of peace ,to point out to the emperor that peace is possible without nation­ al humiliation. To show that the emperor is stil recalcitrant on the question of prosecution of th6 war they are spreading a story to the ef­ fect that when Foreign Minister Larisdprff advocated the advisability of peace and drew the gloomiest pic­ ture of the situation in the near east his majesty became langry and lost patience. Japs Will Not Press War. Rumors bf peace negotiations em­ anating from Europe and the United States are widely published and com­ mented on at Tokio. Apparently they do not affect the attitude of the Jap­ anese government and people toward the war. The press re-echoes the an­ nounced determination of Japan vig- 8TEAL DIAMOND8 WORTH $4,000 TWO Men Rob Jewelry 8tore of Tray Shown Them by a Clerk. Cleveland, Oh., dispatch: Two men entered the jewelry store of A. D. Ernne in the Colonial Arcade and asked to be shown some diamonds. One of the men picked up a tray con­ taining $4,000 worth of gems and made a dash for the Street, followed by his companion. The robbers were lost in the crowd by the time the clerk reached the door. - Detectives are working on the case. Shows Serious Condition. The St. Petersburg Official Gazette publishes a list which shows the con­ dition of affairs throughout th§ coun- ary, - It occupies twenty-nine pages, each filled with the names o£ land­ owners, principally princes, whose properties were offered for sale be­ cause the owners were unable to pay interest on money advanced on mort­ gages on their estates. The increasing seriousness of the peasant riots, together with alarming reports received from Warsaw and the Caucasus, is making a continuation of the war intensely difficult. Roving bands of peasants continue to pillage, burn and murder in the Chernigo government and in Tamboff, Kazan and other governments in the south. The few troops there are^ pow­ erless. The whole peasant population is affected more or less. . Nobility Urges Assembly. A conference of-marshals of the no­ bility at Moscow was attended by twenty marshals. Six declined to par­ ticipate in the conference. ^Sixteen of those who did attend agreed that the, situation demanded the prompt con­ vocation of a national assembly pos­ sessing the right of initiating legisla­ tion and control, and not to be a mere consultative body as provided for In the czar's rescript. The minority re­ fused to express an opinion, thinking the matter ought to be left to the em­ peror. "A resolution was adopted affirming that the present bureaucratic police regime_has been condemned by public opinion, that the war had proved the existence of a. condition of economic demoralization, and that the serious state of the internal life of the coun­ try had been revealed by disturbances. The marshals, who were elected by the nobility of each province, are the most conservative body in Russia. The wide interest taken In the reforms was shown by the enormous number of petitions handed the council of min­ isters under the provisions of the czar's manifesto, each of them sug­ gesting the solution of the electoral problem. One quaintly recommends that deputies be chosen by lottery. Workmen Petition the Czar. A meeting held at Yalta attended by thousands of workmen adopted a resolution to petition the throne, first, for abrogation of laws limiting civil rights; second, free speech; third, freedom of the press;"fourth, the right to Btrike; fifth, liberty of conscience; sixth, equal rights for all nationalities and religions; seventh, immediate con­ clusion of peace with Japan, and eighth, popular representation 111 the constituent assembly.

Tb» American Inventor has some interest­ ing remarks upon the subject: The science of geodesy is making rapid strides along the line of accur­ acy, and there is not much left to be perfected in the way of method. The all important problem of modern, as well as ancient geodesy, of course, is the measurement of the dimensions of the earth, which enters into all prac­ tical work of surveying, navigating and terrestrial physics. The International Scientific associa­ tion several years ago undertook the problem, the different nations having agreed to contribute their share to­ ward an accurate determination. The determination was undertaken in Eucador in 1901, and extended from the Colombian to the Peruvian fron­ tier, and every possible refinement to attain the maximum degree of accu> racy fras adopted. CHILDREN AFFECTED. By Mother's Food and Drink. Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their, mother's milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food they use whllj nursing their babes. The experience of a Kansas City mother is a case in point: "1 was a great coffee drinker from a child, and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But I found at last it was doing me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, spots be­ fore my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added two years ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born 7 months ago, and almost from the beginning, it, too, suffered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk, I have since ascertained that it really dries up the milk. "So, I quit coffee, and tried tea and at last cocoa. But they did not agree with me.' Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. My husband th&n quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got' well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, blind spells, pain In my heart or sour stomach. Post­ um has cured them, « "Now we all drink Postum from my husband to my seven months' old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the beet coffee we ever drank. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ^ There's a reason. ,< Get the little book "The Road 4?
