ROOSEVELT AFTER BIO TRUSTS
President sends special message to congress in which
Standard Oil, Sugar Trust and many railroads are
styled as law breakers? They will be prosecuted
(Special Dispatches to the Daily Alaskan)
Washington, Mar 5.? President
Roosevelt submitted a special message
to congress yesterday afternoon on the
Standard Oil Company and other trusts.
He said that in addition to securing
$750,000 from railroads annually in re
bates, the Standard Oil company has
other secret rates and advantages that
the independent producers of oil are
denied. He said that of the 26,000,000
barrels of oil produced in the country
annually, the Standard Oil Company
controls 23,000,00. He called attention
to the fact that since the report of Com
missioner Garfield, the railroads have
cancelled secret rates, thu9 making a
confession of gilt. The president charg
es the New York C entral with thwart
ing the law, and he say3 ihe sugar trust
seldom pays a lawful rate for freight.
The president says the department of
justice will begin prosecutions against
all those involved immediately.
| When the president's messsge was
read in the house of representatives
the members broke into applause.
The senate ordered the message to
lie on the table. Senator Foraker said
it covered most of the questions under
discussion in the course of the debate
over the pending rate bill.

(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, ivsty 5? Marshal Shoup says
there will be partisan conventions in
Alaska for the purpose of nominating'
delegates in congress. He left on the
Cottage City for Juneau last ni ?ht and

purpose of nominating a candidate for
delegate in congress. He says a demo
cratic convention will meet there also
this month.
Marshal Shoup says party politics
will not govern the election but that
two conventions are necessary and that
the only feasible way to hold them is to
have the political organizations pro
vide for them.
Marshal Shoup says the second and
third divisions will be asked to send
their proxies to representatives from
those districts who are now in Seattle.
By that means, he says, they csn be
represented.
