PRESIDENT IS FIRM
Trust Threats Fail to Swerve Roosevelt From Path of Duty. tt& WILL ENFORCE LAWS If Statutes Are Violated txj Combines, Offenders Will 15c Punished Regardless of Politics. Washington, May 2r-Attor-ney General Knox's rebuke to the New York gentlemen who sought to arrange for a conference between the 4 'beef barons" and the law officers of the jrovernment, clearly represents the attitude of the administration. Neither the president nor the attorney general has invited the beef barons or the representatives of any other trust or combination whose business methods are under investigation to a conference. The attempt to create that impression comes from circles entirely outside the administration. President Roosevelt lias a very clear idea as to the dignity of his office, and as the executive he is consultir g only the attorney general and his advisers in the department of justice in matters of such prosecutions. He followed that course in regard to the Northern railway merger and also in regard to the alleged beef combine. He did not consult J. Pierpont Morgan as to whom or how or where the proceedings should be begun against the Northern securities company. He consulted the attorney general, and when that official was satisfied that such a suit should be brought it was publicly anounced that it would be done. He did not notify friends of Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill two days inadvance of the public announcement, that they might be prepared to protect their stock in the market and avert a panic. He followed the same course regarding the inquiry into the methods of the beef combine. He followed the same course regarding the combination of tha Atlantic steamship lines which Mr. Morgan is now perfecting in London. The lawyers of the department of justice are watching developments m this matter, for itis recognized as clearly in defiance of the anti-trust law. The only questio.i is as to whether Mr. Morgan will be able to make his organisation in such a way as to avoid the laws of this country. He can do this by making his combination under English law. The administration has faith in the law and confidence in its ability to enforce it. The attorney general believes the 'courts will sustain his position regarding the Northern Securities company. The bill of complaint against that company was filed at St. Paul on March 10, nearly two months ago, and while Mr. Morgan's attorney professed a readiness to have the suit brought to an early hearing, they have not yet filed their answer and it is understood they will not until about June 1, so as to delay the hearing until the fall term of court. They are seeking delay while the government is ready to proceed; - In the meantime there are constant insinuations that the business interests of the country will resent theadministration's assault upon these interests. President Roosevelt is not to be intimidated by such insinuations. He has moved cautiously though fearlessly in this matter, and has not directed or permitted any suits to be brought until the attorney general had satisfied himself that they were demanded in executing the law. There has been no trust baiting by the administration, to create dissatisfaction with the trusts or court favor with the people who fear these combinations. The whole campaign against the trusts has been in the line of executive duty, and the president and his cabinet are not to be swerved from that by, the fear of a few who say that the captains of industry vill resent it in the campaign next fall, or two years from now, when a president is to beelectccL. . The republican lead
ers in congress are with the president, and there are also reasons to believe that the great majority of business men of the highest standing in the country indorse and will support the policy inaugurated in favor of executing the laws of congress.
DRSTRUCT10N BY TORNADO. Iowa Towns Suffer Severe Loss Details Hard (o Get. Des Moines, Iowa, May 2. A tornado struck Bayard, Iowa, at 7:30 o'clock last night. Two elevators, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul depot and a number of dwelling houses were destroyed. The agent of the C. M. & St. P. railway is missing and is supposed to have been killed or injured, Telegraphic communication with Bayard has been impaired by thestorm. Details of the disaster are hard to ob tain. At Van Wert a funnel shaped cloud dropped down on the town. Then high winds blew down houses and barns and uprooted large trees. SeveraJ people were reported injured, but none killed. At "Weldon, a farm house was blown down and three children were injured. The tornado was seen through the town of Leroy. but that town was not in its path All of the towns mentioned are in Decatur county. Hundreds Killed by Tornado. Calcutta, May 2 A tornado has devastated the citv of Daca and adjoining towns. Four hundred and sixteen persons were killed. Crops were ruined throughout the district. Dacca, a city in Bengal, has a famous place in the history of British India. It is situated 150 miles northeast of Calcutta, In the 17th century it was the capital of Bengal. In 1800 it had a population of 200,000 and was noted for its product of fine muslins, which were known as "woven wind." Growing imports of Manchester cottons ruined its industries, however, and by 1691 the population had dwindled to 82,000. Ccinese Kill a Priest. Pekin. May 1. A French Roman Catholic priest belonging the Jesuit mission at Kichou, Chihli, 100 miles southwest of TienTsin, was murdered on April 27. His head was afterward displayed on a pole. The priests fled from this district a month ago, as they feared something like this would happen. They returned a short time afterward, however, having apparently become reassured as to their safety. IN FAVOR OF BORROWER The Attorney General Holds That an Association Can Not Charge Advance Premium and Interest. Indianapolis, May 2. A building association can not charge a borrower advance premium and interest when he desires to pay off his loan if he is not in arrears in his payments. The attorney-general has given Auditor Hart an opinion to that effect. An Indianapolis company attempted to make such a charge to a borrower, under a provision in the mortgage given as security for the loan, ,by which the borrower agreed that the mortgage could not be paid in advance of maturity except by giving written notice six months in advance of repayment. The building association law provides that the repayment may be made on the basis of what is due at the time it is desired to make it. The attornev general says: "Any such provision as as the one you quote from from the by-laws of the association is absolutely void. Neither an association nor a borrower can make any agreement which violates the law and the by-laws are to be read as is the mortgage, as if the provision quoted had not been set out in the by-laws; contract or mortgage."I live and let my brethren live With all that's good with me, Unto the poor, some cash I give, The balance I give Rocky Mountain Tea.

CARNEGIE AS AN EDITOR
Announces Serious Intention of Buying a Lot of Newspapers. New York, May 2 Just before Andrew Carnegie started for Europe, on the American liner St. Louis, he said to the newspaper men clustered about him that he had serious intentions of buying several newspapers in this country. "Of course," he said, "there is nothing certain about it, but as it looks now I may some day buy up a lot of newspapers and give you boys an interest in them. I do not know any harder working men than those connected with the press. I have had the matter of purchasing newspapers in my mind for some time and I am much interested in journalism." A photographer for a magazine appeared on the scene at this tim and asked permission to "snap" the millionaire "I want to be photographed with the boys," said Mr. Carnegie, and turning to several interviewers whom he had known for j'ears he said: 'Stand here close to me and we'll all get in the same picture." Archbishop Corngan Improves. New York, May 2. The condition of Archbishop Corrigan was such last night, Dr., Keyes said, that he wou! in all probability be able to it up in another week. At ten o'clock tonisrht the archbishop was sleeping and his condition was so far improved that it was not considered advisable to arouse him even to see his physician. He had spent a very comfortable, restful day, Dr. Keyes said, and both pulse and temperature were quite normal. Court-Martial for a Major. Washington, May 2 Following the precedent set in the case of Gen. Smith, the president has, himself, through Secretary Root, ordered the trial by court-martial of Major Edwin F. Glenn, Fifth infantry, one of the officers referred to as a participant in the administration of the water cure in the testimony developed before the senate Philippine committee recently.

PASSED IN A HURRY
Anti-Conspiracy Bill Adopted By the Lower House. TAX RIDER ON DISTRICT BILL Measure that Will Not Please the Wealthy Washingtonians Cuban Bill Passed. Washington, May 2 Three important measures were passed by the house today. The anticonspiracy bill was rushed through in haste. The district of Columbia bill, with a rider that provides for enforcing the personal tax act, and the bill providing diplomatic and consular officers for Cuba also were adopted. The personal-tax rider will provoke much hostility. Its passage was the result of a joke played by Mr. McMillan, of the senate District of Columbia committee, on the ultra selfish residents of Washington who think the whole country exists for the convenience of Washington. There are no personal taxes assessed in the District of Columbia and many of the residents here say that is a sood civic policy, as it makes Washington an asylum for retired business men who want to settle down for the remainder of their days in a place where taxes are at the disappearing point. This selfish view has greatly retarded the development of the District, because it provokes congress into doing nothing. Early this session Senator McMillan began trying to secure an agreement on a just personal tax law. He did not urge a drastic law, but even his mild measure could not be endured by those who consider the main use of the rest of the count ry to provide for cheap living at the capital. They caused him so much anoyance that he finally Mrned the whole matter over to "Uncle Joe" Cannon in the house. "Uncle Joe," chairman of the committee on appropriations, believes the citizens of the District of Columbia should be taxed to pay all the expenses of the government. He has no patience with the airs of the District. His very name is enough to make a Washington taxpayer choke with anger. There was dismay and consternation among the selfish residents when they learned that McMillan was tired of bothering with them and had turned them over to the tender mecy of that .awful barbarian, "Uncle Joe." He is in faovr of a personal tax law that is as searching in its methods as a New York custom iuspector. He wants to tax incomes, bonds, mortgages, personal effects and everything that has value. He coolj announced that the necessary amendment to secure the enforcement of such a law would be tacked on to one of the big appropriation bills and passed by the house. Coming in this form it will go through the senate. The local residents of the ultra selfish type were in a state of mind, but they could devise no way to move the stony heart of the chairman of the appropriations committee. The anti -conspiracy bill, reported from the judiciary committee, passed without a word of debate It came up rather unexpectedly and Mr. Littlefield, of Maine, who had filed a minority report on the bill and had intended to offer some amendments, came in just as it was put upon its passage and the vote was taken before he understood what was going on. The bill to provide for diplomatic and consular service in the republic of Cuba was passed, It carries the following salaries: $10,000 for a minister, 2,000 for a first and 1,500 for a second secretary of legation, 5,000 for a consul general at Havana and $3,000 each for the consulates at Cienfuegos and Santiago.

Indiana's Economy. "So state in the Union is in better condition than Indiana," says the state auditor. "There is not a state government in the United States that is being operated at smaller expense than that of Indiana. This state is running Its business on the same plan that the great business interests of the country arc adopting. The railroads are consolidating, cutting down expenses and abolishing many officers and clerks. In New York citv the banks are getting together under one head with this object in view. The tin plate industries, Jthe iron interests, the glass makers, have all come together, placed their business affairs under one head, with the result that they are keeping money in their treasuries that they used to pay out. "The state of Indiana has no expensive insurance and railroad commissions to dip into its treasury. The state has these affairs grouped under the heads of present departments and thev are looked after without the expense that other states have to pay. For instance the auditor of state has in his department the insurance, banking and building and loan interests, lie has these to look after in addition to the book keeping of the state's finances. The auditor is paid for being the auditor, but he has the other work to do. It costs the state of Ohio more to keep v.p its insurance commission each year than it does Indiana to conduct the whole department of the auditor.

St. Louis. Mo. SHIP-WRECKED. Humanity to the Rescue. If the news were flashed across the continent that on some desolate, inhospitable shore a mother and child were ship-wrecked, it would not be an hour, before relief expeditions were being planned and organized. Though the cost should be millions, though the voyage should be long and perilous, though the woman cast-away were the poorest of her sex, unstinted treasure would be poured out and life cheerfully risked to bring her back to home and happiness. Is in any worse for mother and babe to perish of disease and hunger on a desolate island than under a sheltering roof in a civilized land? How many mothers' lives are wrecked by ill-health each year? How many infants die of Innutrition annually? Why should not the story of such as these make appeal to human sympathy and stir men to organized effort for their relief. REUEF IS READY. More and more with every month of every year women are learning that a call for heip in their weakness and sickness will be promptly answered by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. Of the average of five thousand letters received by Dr. Pierce each week in the year a large number are from weak and sick women who ask for relief from pain, rescue from the loneliness and desolation of a life which disease has robbed f all its brightness. Every such letter is regarded as a cry for help, and the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., of which Dr. Pierce is chief consulting physician and surgeon, is organized for the rescue of just such weak and sick women. With his staff of nearly a score of physicians, each man a specialist, Dr. Pierce responds to the appeal of suffering women as promptly as the crew of a life-boat respond to the appeal of - distressed mariners. By his medicines and advice hundreds of thousands of sick women have been made well. WI wish to add my testimony to hundreds of others as to the value of Dr. Pierce's medicines, writes Mrs. Ida M. De Ford, of Latona, Hubbard Co., Minn. w Have doctored with a great many physicians some specialists; have twice been in a hospital for treatment.

I do my own work and feel very much encouraged. I wish all suffering women would thoroug?dy try your ' Favorite Prescription.' " IS A woman's word good? Upon the answer to that question depends the value of statements such as those made by Mrs. J)e Ford. She doctored with many physicians some specialists," without benefit. She has "twice been in hospital. V Her "case was regarded as a hopeless one." She turned to the use of patent medicines without effect." And alter all this suffering and the failures of the medicines and doctors, she was cured by the use of Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Any woman who can read such a statement as Mrs. De Ford's and doubt its truth casts a loibt upon the truth fulness of , women at large. For this testimonial is only one of thousands written by women glad and grateful for healing by the use of Doctor Pierce'i Favorite Prescription. But if Mrs. De Ford's testimony be accepted as true, what an avenue of hope it opens to the suffering of her sex, even to those who have seemingly exhausted all medical skill and medi cinal means of cure. Over one year ago I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce for advice," sayf Mrs. R. M. elites, ol 1205 Williams Street, Omaha, Jsebr. n Had been doctoring with two of my home physicians for blood poison. They did not 00 me much good only for a short time. Dr. Pierce recommended his medicines and I took three bottles of his ' Favorite Prescription and two of 4 Golden Medical Discovery, ' and now I feel better than for more than ten years. I am so very thankful that I , beard of Dr. Pierce's medicines, I cannot thank him too much for his kind advice tome. FOUNDED OK FACTS.
