Friends of Judge K. NJ Lands. who
recently imposed such heavy fine
upon the Standard Oil Company. as
sert that the Judge is shadowed by
detectives in the employ of the oil
trust and that his every word and
movement is reported promptly to
the Standard Oil officials
The report is founded possibly up
on the fact that when Judge Lands
came here to spend his vacation two
strangers came here also and when
he went to Indianapolis they appear
ed and remained in that city while
he was there. When he returned
TO Logansport the two men came here

HARTMAN AND
THE ALTON IMNUN
Instructions of Judge Lands to Pros
cute All Rebate Cases Cannot
BE Obeyed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Chi
cago & Alton Railroad Company and
Z. H. Hartman are immune from
federal prosecution for rebating. di
rected to be brought by Judge j. X.
Lands, when he imposed the fine of
$29.240,00O upon the Standard Oil
Company.
In directing the district attorney
at Chicago to place the evidence
against the Alton Railroad before
special grand jury. Judge Lands
acted without knowledge of deal
made by the department of justice
with the Alton. Judge Lands, of
course, placed the prosecuting branch
of the federal service in an embar-
RAISING position. Explanation of the
failure to proceed becoming neces-
sary, an authoritative statement of
the facts has been made public.
Former District Attorney Morri:
son of Chicago, now employed by the
government as special counsel in the
St. Louis case against the Standard
Oil Company, prepared the rebating
suits in Chicago, which resulted in
the big fine. In order to- get from
the Alton evidence he considered nee
essary. Mr.. Morrison, with the APP
proval of former Attorney General
William H. Moody guaranteed the
immunity from prosecution upon any
evidence used upon the Standard Oil.
Acting upon advice the Alton furn-
ished the government with it's most
valuable evidence at the trial of the
Standard oil Company in Chicago:
When Judge Landis ordered that
the Alton be brought to bar, the lat
ter's COUNSEL; called the attention of
the department of justice to the pro-
mise of immunity.
Acknowledgement G.. J. Bonaparte
has looked into the facts and the
promise was made in good faith.
The promise of immunity is regarded
by the government officers here as
unfortunate, as it prevents an OPP
portunity of going after Hartman.
However, the action is absolute as
to this phase of Hartman activity.
Assigned by President Roosevelt to
make an example of some conspic-
uous figure in finance. preferably
Hartman, or Standard Oil million
aire. Attorney General Bonaparte will
proceed with the single purpose of
accomplishing the task. Bonaparte
says the evidence in several cases
IS in doubt, but that positively some
criminal action will be brought either
against Hartman or against Stand
ard Oil officials 1t is clear. how
ever, that such prosecution will not
involve the Alton or Hartman in SO
far as they dealt with each other.

City Isolated from World

OEh LIZ, aug lt---ocs6Hty
eight operators employed by West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph
Company in Seattle are out on strike
The Associated Press throughout the
country is paralized.
Local banks which have used the
telegraph lines heretofore for trans
ferring money, have been compelled
10 rely entirely on the mails for bus
mess both in the United States and
in foreign countries.
Not a single operator was working
this morning in the Postal Company's
office, barring the day chief and Man
ager Jere Dunn.
Superintendent Ried, of the West
ern Union, and Day Chief Operator
Mcdonald, with force of six strike
breakers constituted the sole West
ern Union force this morning.
Operators who are members of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers en-
p1oyed by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern have successfully
prevented in many instances the
transmission of unfair message to
the East and South.
Late last night Superintendent
Reid skirmished through the city for
operators and managed to get one
railway telegraph operator, one real
estate dealer who was once an oper-
ator and several students, clerks and
chief operators, to operate the keys
in the local Western Union office. At
noon today, Day Chief Mcdonald said
that he had all the men he wanted,
because there was little business.
Manager Nest at the same time
came to the front bearing two big
lunch baskets filled with savory edi-
bles which We're forthwith served to
the hungry strike-breakers inside.
The Office doors were locked and
policeman patrolled the sidewalk in
front of the Bailey Building, where
the main Western Union Offices are
located. but, according TO Chief Nc,
Donald, there was no need for his
services as no violence or picketing
was recorded.
Railway Men Aid Strikers. =.
\ few messages were sent over
the Western Union wires today, but
not without great difficulty. Tele-
graph men employed by the railroads
along the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific successfully stopped many
messages and practically put quiet
us on the business offered by the
Western Union, according to Day
Chief Mcdonald. He said:
Railway telegraphers, by pulling
plugs and otherwise cutting circuits,
have prevented us handling many.
messages. Everything is taken SUBJ
iect to delay, which may be indefin-
ite. We have all the men We can
use under the circumstances.
] Practically no pusins>s was offered
the telegraph companies this morn
ing the public understanding that
there was little chance of the deliv-
cry of the messages. At the Office
OF the Postal Company, Manager
Dunn appeared haggard and care
worn, having been up all night. His
chief operator and two small girls
constituted the entire working force
but Dunn smilingly said he had the
names of several operators who
would go TO work when the chance
offered.
I'VE are standing pat-that's all
We can do said Dunn. There Is
no need of the police patrolling, be-
