The issuance Of the subpoenas was
the direct result of the refusal Of the
attorneys of the Standard OIL com
pany to supply Judge Lands of the

quested regarding the financial condi-
tion of the company. The attorneys
declared that the information should
have been sought at the time OF the
trial and declared that the request OF
Judge Landis was S%-
Extra judicial and Unwarranted.
The Judge replied that he was entitled
to the information and intended to
have it and directed District Attorney

of Indiana or for any OF the officers OF
the controlling corporation of the
Standard OIL company who might. In

charge of using illegal freight rates
rendered to it by the Chicago and
Alton road and after a long trial was
found guilty on 1,462 counts of the
indictment. A maximum fine of $40,
600 Is allowed on each count OF the
indictment, making total possible
fine against the company OF $29,240,
600. Before passing sentence on the
company Judge Lands announced
that it was his custom to proportion
the fine according to the financial con
dition OF the person or corporation
convicted and asked for specific In
formation regarding the financial con
dition of the Standard Oil company
This information he has been unable
to obtain up to date and the sub
poenas issued were the consequence
1t was said in the Office Of District
Attorney Sims that the subpoenas will
be sent East at once for service.
