New York.--An extract of the inter­ state commerce commission findings on its Investigation of the Harri- man railroad combination was made public Wednesday, and It is said that the report is by far the most sensa­ tional ever put out by the commission. It is stated that the commission has found that railroad^'competition has been choked off entirely in an area .equal to one-third of the United states, and that in this area Harri man is absolute master; that Harri- man's contracts with the Rock Island, Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Il­ linois Centra! and the San Pedro roads are in violation of the anti-trust acts and recommends that the attor­ ney general proceed against them; that the purchase of the shares of one railroad by another was a bad practice that ought to be stopped by law; that there should be new and effective laws io prevent inflation of securities like that in the Alton organization; that the profits of the great railroads of the far west are being used to buy stock and control systems in tie east, instead of building more roads for the development of the west. Attorneys Frank B. Kellogg and Charles A. Severance, who wrote the report for the commission, find that the Harriman reorganization of the Al­ ton was "one of the most remarkable cases of manipulation and stock wa­ tering ever known," and they demand that laws be passed which shall stop such practices in future. The report concludes that HaYrlman now has absolute control of the Illi­ nois Central and that he is so power­ ful in the Santa Fe that he has been able to stop all competition between it and his roads. It is declared that the combination of the Union and Southern Pacific sys­ tem has been so powerful as not only to suppress all competition, but to pre­ vent the building of the San Pedro road from Salt Lake to Los Angeles as an Independent line. The independ­ ent railroad, in the great empire dom­ inated by Harriman, is fouftd to be im­ possible. The report of the com­ mission will be sent to Attorney Gen­ eral Bonaparte in a few days. In view of the well-known attitude of the administration toward the Har­ riman combination, no doubt is enter­ tained that a series of great suits will bec instituted in the immediate future to dissolve the different agreements, contracts, and stockholding arrange­ ments by which the Union Pacific holds control of many of its proper­ ties. In its report the commission tells briefly the story of the Union Pacific's reorganization and of the establish­ ment of Harrlman's control. EX-PRIftGO DICTATOR ADMITS ?

San Francisco.--Abraham Ruef, bet ter known as Abe Ruef, the acknowl­ edged adviser of Mayor Schmitz and once the recognized dictator of mu­ nicipal affairs la San Francisco, plead­ ed guilty to the charge of extortion in Judge Dunne's court Wednesday. Sentence will be pronounced upon him two weeks hence. After a private conference with his four-attorneys In Judge Dunne's pri­ vate chambers Wednesday afternoon, and after they had withdrawn from his case because of the resolution he had taken to change his plea and avoid trial, Ruef, to the utter aston­ ishment of the prosecution, arose in court and announced in a dramatic address that, after long and earnest consideration, he had determined to withdraw his plea of not guilty and enter a plea of guilty. He asked that the Jury be dismissed and the trial abandoned. He declared that hie sole motive in accusing himself in open court was to save the lives of those who are nearest and dearest to him, his aged father and mother, his maiden sister and. a niece, who, he says could not stand the strain of a long trial. Ruef read his statement from a manuscript which he had prepared in the presence of his attorneys a few moments before Judge Dunne's cham­ bers opened. He showed in his voice, In the expression on his face, In his quiet and gestureless attitude, and by the tears that again and again over­ flowed his eyes, the great emotion and utter humiliation that he suffered. The pathos of the scene was communicate ed to the crowd that thronged the courtroom. Tears sprang 'to the eyes of veteran newspaper men who have been lifelong acquaintances and whose papers have conducted against him a»d his political associates a long and bitter campaign for the purification of municipal affairs. The accused man was several times all but overcome by emotion. When he reached the final words of his ad­ dress--"I desire to withdraw my plea of not guilty and enter the contrary plea"--bis voice was sunk to a whis­ per. But so intense was the silence that it reached to the far corners of the room. Ruef's plea of guilty was to the charge of extortion, on which the tak­ ing of testimony in his trial was about to begin. The specific charge in the indictment concerned the payment to Ruef o? $1,175 by the proprietors of Delmonico's French restaurant to se­ cure for the place permission to sell liquor in private rooms. ICE MEN ARE FINED. Sentence imposed on Members of Kansas City Trust. Kansas City, Mo. -- Walter A. Powell, judge of the circuit court at Independence, Mo., Tuesday fined the following named companies, re­ cently found guilty of maintaining a trust to regulate the production and price of ice at Kansas City: People's Ice, Storage and Fuel company, $15,000; Central Ice com­ pany, $8,000; Kansas City Breweries company, $5,000. Punishment of the Vandersllce- Lynds Mercantile company, also found guilty of violating the law, will be de­ termined later. Judge Powell also enjoined these companies from doing business in the future with one another. Similar charges brought against the Dold Packing company, the West­ ern Ice company, Ruddy Bros., and the Interstate Ice company, were dis­ missed, the allegations not having been sustained. Later, Judge Powell ordered that the charter of the People's Ice, Stor­ age and Fuel company be forfeited and that that concern be ousted from the state. Attorneys for the People's company announced that an appeal would be taken. Mr. Bryan Speaks.

I* t« Be Started at Once and Promoter1# Are Sure Voters Can Be Won Over. Springfield.--A campaign of educa­ tion in the interests of the deep Water way project will be started at once as a sequel to the action of the legisla­ ture in adjourning for a five months' recess in order mentally to assimilate the drainage bills. Representatives of the Chicago Commercial association, officers of the sanitary district, con­ gressmen and business and profes­ sional men who have been working for the measure announced before de­ parting from Springfield that" a vigor­ ous movement will be opened up with­ out delay in order that when the Jaw- makers reconvene Oct. 8 there will be such a clamorous sentiment for the bills that the opposition of the Joliet citizens will melt into thin air. "By Oct. 8," said R. R.. McCormick, presi­ dent of the drainage board, "there will be such a general call for the improve­ ment from all parts of the state that the bills will find little opposition in the assembly, I am sure." Leaves Balances Available. One effect of the recess is that it wHl leave available any balances of appropriations made two years ago that may remain unexpended on Jan. 1 next. Under the law money appro­ priated is available until the expira­ tion of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the regular session of the legislature. After that it lapses back into the treasury. As the regu­ lar session will not adjourn imtil some time after Oct. 15 all money appropri­ ated by -the legislature in 1905 will be available till the end of the fiscal quarter following the adjournment. This means that any department or institution having an unexpended bal­ ance can continue to draw on it, sav­ ing its appropriation made by this ses­ sion by that much. Among legislators the question has been raised, too, whether Gov. Deneen could call a spe­ cial .session during the recess between now and Oct. 15. It Is not at all like­ ly that the governor would wish to call an extra session unless the supreme court should knock out the primary law in the case now before it. Will Cut Appropriation Bills. It seems to be taken for granted that Gov. Deneen will veto $1,000,000 or more of the amount appropriated by the legislature. The total appro­ priations amount to some' $20,500,000. The Btate's revenue for the next two years is estimated at $16,000,000. This with the $3,000,000 surplus In the treasury, amounts to $19,000,000, which is the sum that can be* spent in the next* two years without in­ creasing the tax levy, something the governor wishes to avoid. These con­ ditions necessitate scaling down the appropriation bills by about $1,500,000. Under the law the governor can veto any item of an appropriation bill with­ out affecting or impairing the validi­ ty of the rest of the measure. But In the case of many of the bills no Item­ ization was made. The sums for the various purposes were voted in bulk. It is over these bills the governor will have his troubles in his effort to scale down the total of the appropriations. 8candal Over Waterway. A scandal of huge proportions broke when the legislature met to consider the deep waterway bills. It became known that the great opposition to the bills is alleged to be due to a $2,000,000 bond issue of the Economy Light & Power company of Joliet, which has been underwritten by two Chicago financial concerns and which cannot be marketed, It is said, if the bills pass. Back of the bank issue is declared to be a gigantic scheme con­ ceived by the company--which is said to be owned by Chicago capital­ ists--to control all the immense wa­ ter power generated in the Joliet val­ ley by the drainage canal and to make it the basis for big financial dealings. Anti-Cigarette Bill Passed. An impression that-gained general circulation in Chicago that the Berry anti-cigarette bill failed to pj^ss both houses of the legislature was disprov­ ed at Springfield by the house journal for last Saturday. It passed both houses, though amended from the measure originally introduced and for which Lucy Page Gaston, president of the National Cigarette league, and John L. Whitman, head of the Chicago branch of the organization, workved. Vetdes Fraternal Bill. 1 ^ ' Gov. Deneen sent the general as­ sembly his veto on senate bill 428, ex­ empting the property of fraternal in­ surance associations from taxation. The veto was based on constitutional grounds. Where Shall Vetoes Got Considerable speculation WfkS In­ dulged in as to whether Gov. Deneen will be required to file his veto mes­ sages with the secretary of state or with the house in which vetoed bills originated, also as to whether he has the power to call a special legislative session in recess of the regular ses­ sion. It has been taken for granted that the state executive would veto the Barton^lle appropriation in the omnibus bill for the special expenses of the state charitable institutions.

The results of these expert meats and Investigations have %een published lh circular No. 106 of the department. The circular may be ob­ tained from the experiment station at Urbana for tito asking. Pure Food Bill Signed. Gov. Deneen signed the pure food bill. Owing to rumors afloat regard­ ing the bill, careful comparison of the engrossed bill was made with the copy prepared by the state chemist. Nothing but inconsequential typo­ graphical discrepancies were foupid, »»nd these do not affect the intents of the measure to the slightest degree. Chemist Bryan stated that he consid­ ered the new Illinois act as the best pure food law in the United States, excepting the national law. The governor approved several other measures, as follows: House bill 78, legalizing the acts of cities and vil­ lages that have changed their cor­ porate names; house bill 109, provid­ ing that in cases where a municipality and a township are coextensive the county board shall elect an overseer of the poor; house bill 130, providing for the delivery to the county collector of the tax books on the second day of January; house bill 240, changing the time of filing appeals to the supreme court from two to ten days before a court term; house bill 416, giving city councils the right to levy a two-mill tax for the maintenance of public parks; house bill 451, appropriating $125,000 for permanent state fair buildings; senate bill 319, providing that the authorities of any counter may establish a children's home; senate bilj 460, increasing the salary of the matron of the Soldiers' Widows' home to $1,200 per annum; senate bill 292, allowing pay to the enrolling and en­ grossing clerks ten days after the ad­ journment of the session.

Take Recess Until Next October. Questions of deep water way legis­ lation goes over till next October by action of the Senate, which decided to take a recess till the second Tues­ day In October. Meanwhile ho ac­ tion was taken on either the Clark bill, providing for extension of the drainage board, or on Schmitt's bill, giving the governor control of pos­ sible water power development along the Desplaines and Illinois rivers. The bills will remain just where they were when the legislature quit work May 13. The formal action of taking a recess until after the state fair was taken Thursday when both House and Senate adopted a resolution for a re­ cess until October. Experts Differ in Opinion. \ ' SOme* of the l&gislatlve experts In­ sist that the legislature not having1 finally adjourned Is constitutionally alive and that if any item in the char­ itable institutions bill is vetoed the Entire measure must be locked up In the senate until Oct. 8 or a later date. Other legislators say that Gov. Deneen Can do as Gov. Palmer dfd in 1871, wfaen a recess was taken from May until the November following. Gov. Palmer filed his veto messages with the secretary of state and written no­ tices of, his action with the houses in which the various Vetoed bills origi­ nated. • Salary Bill Dead. Cermack's bill under which it was proposed to raise the salaries of mem­ bers of the legislature from $1,000 to 2,000 appears to be dead. It has been discovered that the senate adopted viva voce a motion to rec^le from Its amendments to the bill in which the house refused to concur. The result Is that the same bill was not adopted by both houses. President Sherman, of the senate, says he will not sign the measure for the reason that it was not passed by both houses and the chances are that no more attention will be paid to It. Ask Rehearing in Fee Case. A motion for a rehearing was filed in the supreme court by the counsel for the state treasurers and state auditors in the fees cases which were Instituted against them by Gov. De­ neen and Attorney General Stead and which«%were decided in favor of the state. The motion was based prin­ cipally on the alleged misapprehen­ sion by the court of the rule of con­ temporaneous construction, which rule formed the basis of the dissent­ ing opinion by Judge Carter. Important Bills Await Action. Politicians are wondering if Gov. Deneen will approve the legislative salary bill, the state officers' salary bill and the bill for the relief of ex- state treasurers and auditors who were hard hit by a recent decision of the supreme court passing on the regis­ tered bond act. The ex-state treas­ urers and auditors have applied for a rehearing in the Wolff case and are hoping that Gov. Deneen will allow the relief measure to become a law. May Veto Auto Bill. Gov. D^jieen may veto the automo­ bile bill passed by the legislature. The bill removes from cities and towns all power to regulate the speed of auto­ mobiles, or to, interfere in any way with their operation. This power hitherto exercised by the municipali­ ties is vested in the state. Already the governor is hearing vehement ob­ jections to the bill from towns which object to this curtailment of their mu­ nicipal power. Fever Cases Reported. A dozen cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria which have been discov­ ered in the Methodist Orphans' home at Lake Bluff, near Chicago, are caus­ ing some alarm to authorities. The matter has been reported to the state board of health, and a quarantine has been established. The authorities as­ sert that there Is little danger of a further spread of the. contagions. Dr. E. F. Baker, of the state board of health, has gone to Willlamsvllle, In Sangamon county, to investigate a case of smallpox reported there. To Work for Chicago Charter. The, Republican and Democratic or­ ganizations will unite in endeavoring to secure the passage of the Chicago charter bill by the people Sept. 17, when the referendum of the bill as passed by the general assembly comes up at the polls. Although there are Individuals in each party who are not in complete sympathy with the differ­ ent provisions of the charter bill, the' organizations of each party will co­ operate in advocating the passage of 4 the measure foe a "greater Chicago." "Washington.--Thai the history and present operation of the Standard Oil interests "shows throughout the past 35 years a substantial monopolization Chicago, of the petroleum industry of .the^ebun- try, a deliberate destruction of com­ petition and a consequent control of that industry by less than a dozen men, who have reaped enormous prof­ its therefrom," largely through abuse of transportation facilities, is charged in a report Just submitted to Presi­ dent Roosevelt by Commissioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith. It is, the first official statement of the operations and methods of the Standard Oil company, by which, the report states, through "scandalous railway discriminations," and othsr unlawful devices, they have secured and maintained an "exclusive domlnap tion of the petroleum industry." It is stated that in 1904 the Standard and affiliated concerns refined over 84 per cent of the crude oil run through refineries; produced more than 86 per cent of the country's total output of illuminating oil; maintained a similar proportion of the export trade in illuminating oil; and transported through pipe lines nearly nine-tenths of the crude oil of the older fields and 98 per cent of the crude oil of the mid- continent field." In conclusion, the report says it ts apparent that the dominating position of the Standard Oil company in the oil industry has largely been secured by the abuse of transportation facili­ ties, first, by flagrant discriminations obtained from railroads; second, by a refusal to operate its pipe line system so as to extend to independent Inter­ ests the benefits to which they were both morally and legally entitled, while at the same time the Standard has prevented such, independent inter­ ests from constructing lines of their otrn.

Gould Sues For Divorce. • New York.--Differences of long standing between Mr. £tnd Mrs. How­ ard Gould culminated ^arorday in* the service of a summons and complaint in suit begun by Mrs. Gould in the su­ preme court for a limited divorce. Mrs. Gould seeks a decree of separa­ tion on the ground of abandonment, and does not make any sensatienol allegations in her complaint. It is probable that the main legal contest will be on the question of alimony. Since Mr. Gould has lived apart from his wife he has given her $5,000 a month for her maintenance. She. asserts that this sum is inadequate, aad that her husband's income is suf­ ficient to justify him in paying^ her twice as much. Asks for New Trial Judge. San Francisco.--District Attorney Langdon was last night served by Mayor Schmitz's attorneys, Metson, Campbell & Drew and John J. Barrett and C. H. Fairall, with notices of a motion for substitution of trial judge on the ground that Judge Frank H. Dunne is disqualified by bias and prejudice. Accompanying £nd sup­ porting this motion is a lengthy affidavit by Schmitz in which charges of an extremely sensational nature are made against Rudolph Spreckels, his associates in. the brib­ ery graft prosecution, and Judge Dunne himself.

There is, however, a way to be cer­ tain of the purity and genuineness of the White Lead you buy, and that is to see that the keg you buy bears thfc Dutch Boy trade mark. This trade mark is a positive guarantee of abso­ lutely PureJWhite Lead made by the Old Dutch Process. ' SEND.FOR BOOK " A Talk o n Paint" gives valuable infof* tnation on the paittt •uhjoct.
