MOODY MOVES
ON STANDARD
Will Institute Criminal Proceedings
Against Oil Company.
ISSUES A BRIEF STATEMENT
Action About to Be Commenced In
Certain Cases Where There Appears
to Have Been Violations Of Laws
Regulating Interstate Commerce and
Prohibiting Rebates.

Washington, June 23. - Attorney
General Moody has made formal an
nouncement of the purpose of the fed
eral government to prosecute the
Standard Oil company. He says:
After full consideration of all infor-
nation now available, including the re-
port of the commissioner of corpora
tions and the evidence taken by the
Interstate commerce commission,
have reached the conclusion that GRIM
lnal proceedings against the Standard
Oil company should be begun in cer-
tain cases where there appears to have
been a violation of the laws regulating
Interstate commerce and prohibiting
rebates and other unlawful discrimi-
nations. Accordingly such proceed
lngs will be begun at once in the ap-
propriate judicial districts. These
cases are regarded and will be treated
as of Importance, as 1t seems clear
that in so far as the Standard Oil COM
pany has obtained monopolistic con-
troll of interstate trade, that control has
been in large degree made possible by
determinations in transportation rates
or facilities, the Determinations being
In some cases in violation of law. and
In other cases, though injurious to the
public welfare. not In violation of law;
therefore subject only to such correo-
ton as may be afforded by the railway
Fok 10 ole lot N
grsss."
1t appears from Mr.. Moody's state
ment that the proceedings in the first
instance will be had under the Elkins
law, which prohibits rebates in inter-
state commerce. The attorney gen.
eral, however, gives notice that in all
probability, should the investigation
Justify II, he will bring further action
under the Sherman antitrust law. He
also will take steps to insure against
the continuance by the company Of dis
ordinations in trade and transporta-
tion, which are not now subject to
prosecution, but are especially pro-
vided against in the pending rate bill.
The attorney generals statement fol-
lows
Upon being asked concerning the ac-
ton of Judge Mcpherson at Kansas
City, Attorney General Moody said: Il
regard the outcome Of this case as OF
the first importance The sentence OF
imprisonment. imposed for the first
time upon persons guilty Of rebating,
will. in my judgment. have a most po-
tent effect in checking the practice"
The attorney general has always been
of the opinion that II person guilty
Of rebating could be imprisoned the
practice would soon cease. However,
the Elkins law contained NO provision
for such q sentence.

The Louisville and Nashville is hard

ordering that it's present rate be reduc-
ed 25 per cent. Tie Illinois Central

forbidden to charge IN excess OF the

The freight rate charged on the main

In Kentucky The Cincinnati, New

From Mr.. Lewis.

Hardinsburg, KY, Breckenridge
News, Dear Mr.. Editor Will you
please answer these questions through
the columns of your paperY.
Why is 1t that a paper published in
a country town always has notice of
every thing certain individuals dor
That is, if Ger .ain ones in town
go out of town tor half day or
go, there Is always mention in the
town paper OF the fscr that Mr.. or
Mrs. so-and-so went to such and such
same town just as we'll known by the
paper and may be ten to one more
patrons of the paper thar those whose
names are always seen In the paper.
But these patrons names are never
mentioned on any occasion when they
go ont of town. 1t is positive tact
that a good regular customer of the
towns paper may go out of town
visiting or on business, OF mis- friends
Or relatives may visit him and there
is never a mention made of the fact
in the paper. Now, Mr.. Edit r, why
is this difference made by a paperl
Especially with good friends of the
publication. 1t it happened only once
in a while the case would be readily
understood but it is a fact that this
difference is made by editors. 1t seems
that editors or newspaper men in the
small towns do not look after but one
class. All others ale not noticed
though they can pay as much cash in
to the support of the paper as they
may, outside of what they order and
pay for is not noticed by the news
paper men.
am very truly
T. e. Lewis.
While Mr.. Lewis may be sincere in
mis- charges against newspaper editors,
he would doubtless view the matter,
about which he writes entirely differ
ent il he were the editor of some
publication. 1t is a fact that many
columns OF matter, and great many
personal" are left out OF every
weekly paper for want of room. Editor.
