COLUMBUS, O., May 9.-Thc Stand
ard Oil company won n point In the su-
preme court to-day when decision
was handed down dlsmissing the con-
tempt proceedings against Malcolm
Jennings, newspaper man. Jennings
was subpoenaed as witness In the
Standard OIL company suits by the at
torney general, who endeavored to show
tha, the witness was conducting a news
bureau In the interests Of the Standard
OIL company. When asked to give u list
Of papers TO which he furnished such
matter Jennings refused and was cited
for contempt. The supreme court held
that the information asked Of the Wit
ness was not important. and that it
would not tend to throw any light on
the situation ut Issue. The, court held,
therefore, that the witness was not In
contempt in refusing to answer the
question. y.
Attorney General .Monnett called the
attention Of the court to the other con-
tempt case growing out Of the Standard

be. He said he would submit brief in

gated. The company hnd voluntarily
appeared after the attorney general had
furnished his Information in the alleged
attempted bribery case, in order not to
interfere or retard In the slightest de-
gree the ascertaining of the exact truth
OF the allegations. and under these cir
cums,ances he did not believe that the
main case should be considered or
passed on until after the charges made
against the company had been disposed
Of The company did not desire to lie
under such charges. Under these cir
cumstances It was'his Judgment that it
would be proper for the .court to ap-
point commissioner to take depositions
