St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 15.—In point of
attendance and enthusiasm the Deep
Waterways convention, which assemb-
led in this city today, is the greatest
demonstration of the supporters of
that patriotic movement that has ever
been held in this country. The aim of
the gathering, preparations for which
have been going forward since last
March, is to secure an appropriation
from congress to maintain at least
fourteen feet of water from the Great
akes to the Gulf of Mexico, and to
maintain a certain minimum stage In
the prominent tributaries of the Mis
slssippi river. Twenty-two states are
interested in the project, which con-
templates the expenditure of $31,
000,000.
The attendance at the opening of
the convention includes delegates ap-
pointed by the governors of many
states, those most largely represented
including Louisiana, Mississippi, Wis-
consin, Iowa, Oklahoma, Minnesota
Texa3, Mis-:ouri, Kentucky, Arkansas,
Tennessee and Illinois.
In addition those present included
representatives of numerous boards
of trade, chambers of commerce and
similar organizations in the chief
titles of the Mississippi valley.
The initial session, following the
welcoming formalities, was devoted
entirely to perfecting an organization
and naming the committees. The
sessions are to continue over tomor-
row. Members of congress and other
Public men, representative manufac-
turers, agriculturists and men of af
fairs from fifteen or more states are
to deliver addresses setting forth the
advantages to commerce in the West
and, in faict, in the entire region be
tween the Alleghenies and the Rocky
mountains, of a deep waterway .from
Chicago to New Orleans.

At 7 o'clock last night Abraham
Ruef proceeded in an automobile to
the home of Superior Judge Murasky,
where he surrendered himself to
Sheriff Thomas O'Nell, who mot Rnof
there by appointment.
The representative of a surety c^ra
pany accompanied Ruef to Judge Mu
rasky's home and there qualified for
Ruef's bonds, which amounted to $50,-
000. An order of release from custody
was thcrt made by the judge.

which I have been indicted by the
grand jury."

Labrador Spruce.
In the vicinity of this camp wo saw
some of I lie largest spruce timber that
we came upon in the whple journey
across Labrador. Some of these trees
were fully 22 inches in diameter at
the butt and perhaps 50 to 00 feet in
height. These largo trees were very
scattered, however, and too few to bo
of commercial value. For the most
part the trees ihat we met with were
six to eight, and, occasionally, ten
inches through, scrubby and knotted.
In Labrador trees worth the cutting
are always located near streams in
sheltered valleys.—Outing Magazine.

GRAFT IN 'FRISCO.
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 1C.—The
grand jury brought Ave indictments
against Mayor Eugene Schmitz and
Abraham Ruef, on the charge of ex
tortion. On each charge the bail was
fixed at $10,000 and bond at $5,000.
The first alleged crime was in con-
nection wilh the Poodle Dog restaur
ant and the indictment recites that
Ruef and Schmitz demanded mrfney
from the proprietor, Ton Blanco. As
this demand was made, it is said, on
two occasions', two indictments were
returned. Extortion, declared to have
been practiced upon Ed Marchand,
proprietor of Marchand's restaurant,
is the basis o>f two more indictments.
A demand made /upon Joe Malfanti,
another restauranteur, is the alleged
offense on which the fifth and last in-
dictment was found.
The indictments were returned for
the grand jury by Foreman B. P. Oli-
ver, who presented the documents to
Judge Munaskey, who read them and
placed them on file. He then proceed-
ed to fix bail for each charge.
According to the indictments, Ruef
and Schmitz, on the 15tli of January,
1901, extorted $1,175 from Tony Blan-
co of the "Poodle Dog" and on Febru
ary C of the same year they forced
him lo give up $1,000 by threatening
to take away their liquor licenses.

a mo:t gratifying character. All the
states of the South were represented

dent Garner, of the Jacksonville

Washington, 1). C?, Nov. 15.—Attor-
ney General Moody today instituted
proceedings against the Standard Oil
company, of New Jersey, under the
Sherman anti-trust act by filing in the
United States circuit court at St.
Louis a petition in equity against it
and its seventy constituent corpora-
tions and partnerships and seven in-
dividual defendants, asking that the
combination be declared unlawful and
in the future enjoined from entering
into any contract or combination in
restraint cf trade. The individual de-
fendants are: John D. Rockefeller,
Wm. Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers,
Henry M. Flagler, John D. Archbold,
Oliver II. Payne and Charles M. Pratt.
The proceedings were brought on the
strength of the report just made by
Assistant Attorney General Purdy,
and Messrs. Kellogg and Morrison, ap-
pointed last June by the direction of
the President to investigate the busi-
ness of the Standard. In a statement
Issued today Mr. Moody says his in-
vestigation tends to show that the
Standard and its various corporations
control ninety per cent of the oil busi-
ness of the United States. That "this
share of business has been procured
by a cciurse of action, which begin-
ning in 1S70, lias continued under the
direction of the' same persons, in
main, down to the present time and
that the design throughout has been
to suppress all competition in pro-
duction, transportation and sale of re-
fined oil and to obtain as far as pos-
sible a monopoly therein." The re-
port shows, he says "that the com-
pany has been enabled to obtain, in p.
large section of the country, a mon-
opoly of sale in refined oil, with the
result that the prices to the consumer
within the territory where the mon-
opoiy prevails are very much higher
than within the territory where com-
petition to some extent still exists."
Colon, Nov. 15.— The President this
morning landed from the Louisiana
and was met by Canal Commissioner
Shouts, Chief Engineer Stevens and
other officials. The school children
assembled at the pier and sang the
'Star Spangled Banner." President
Amador later greeted the President.
