Hon. C. N. Haskell made eleven

Washington I). C. Aug. 22. "So
far as the Itureau of Corporations Is
concerned no promise ot immunu) 
was made to the Chicago & Alton rail
way an to the charges that company
gave the Standard Oil company re-
bate on shipments of oil."
Herbert Knox Smith commissioner
of corporations and acting secretary I
of the Department of Commerce and 1
I.abor made this statement after At-1
torney General Ilonaparle had said 
that former Attorney General Moody i
nai acquiesce.! in u. a. wismci
torney Morrison s promise not 10 
prosecute the Chicago & Alton for the
giving of rebates to the Standard Oil
company.
"As a matter of good faith contln-1
ued Commissioner Smith. "I believe I
the government Is bound not to pur-
sue proceedings against the Chicago
k Alton. In the prosecution of the
case against the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana the officials of the
Chicago & Alton gave the govern-
ment valuable assistance. They sub-
mitted to United States District At-
torney Sims 108 way-bills showing
how the rebates to the Standard had
Wen given and they explained to him
tho operation of the rebating system.
That Information formed the founda-
tion of the case against the Stand-
ard nnd It Is inconceivable either In
equity or In fairness that It should
be used against the Chicago & Alton
In a prosecution by the government. 1
nm not so Htire that the furnishing
or mis evidence reimerH tne inicago

Hon of the Standard Oil company.
Commissioner Smith's r.qiortH during
the past six weeks have stirred up
the Standard as It never was stirred
before and his blows havo gone
"home." The Standard officials falling
to bulldoze the government now are
attempting lo Justify tb.-lr action be-
fore the people by making misleading

statements. As n matter of fact the
half Is not known. Much has been
withheld by Commissioner Smith con -
cernlng the operations of tho Stand-
nr.l. because of suits which the gov
eminent has nendlng nualiist the cor -
poratloii. In the trial of tho actions
the facts will be developed and they
will show the enormous extent to
which the Standard has gone In
"milking" the American people.
Four additional reports lire to be
made public by Commissioner Smith
as to the operation of the Standard

A FASHION FROM WAR.
Hew Flat Watches Took Place of the
Old Tim "Turnip."
When the neut man takes unto him-
self n natch as thin as parchment he
little thinks thut that Uiln watch re-
sults from army regulations.
I'p to the time of the allies taking
Paris the ordinary wutch was convex
In shape and called from Its outline a
"turnip." Tho officers of the Russian
and other nrmles objected to this be-
cause Its bulbous form made the uni-
form of a man ou parade look untidy
whether tt were carrledei the coat or
the fob. In Pnrls however they found
that the watchmaker of the Palais
Royal had contrived a chronometer
which got over the difficulty.
Flat n-ntche were the fashion In
Paris. The Kugllsh when they ap-
peared In the streets of the French
capital marched In not In gala dress
such as the others wore but In the
raiment which they had worn on cam-
paign. Great was the Impression
which their habiliments created but
they at once adopted the smart flat
watch und brought It back to England
for our own manufacturers to copy.

M-n the c.mdltl'int are favorable for
Its proluctlon. At i!..V) fathoms tho

half tons to the square Inch that la
to aay several time greater than the
presruro exerted by the steam upoti

An Interesting exjicrlmpnt to Illus-

heu pressuro was made on the Alba-
tross a government vessel engaged lu
deep sea exploration.

length full of air was hermetically
w ide copper cylinder used to protect
' cj a tintrnHjmitM wtutn tHor m r A
deep sea thermometers when they are
iient down with tha sounding appa-
ratus. The copper cylinder had hole
bored ln It so that the water had free
! access Inside round the glass. The
case was then neat down to a depth
' of 2.000 fathoms nnd drawn up again.
It was found that the cylinder was
bulged an.l bent Inward Just as If It
J had lieen crumbled Inward by tieltig
j violently squeezed. Tho glass tube
Itself within Its flannel wrapper was
reduced to a tint; powder almost like
