STANDARD OIL IS
FINED $29,24O,O
JDUGE Lands IMPOSES THE MAX
IMUM PENALTY FOR RE-
BATTING.
TRUST MtRCILfSSLY SCORED
NO BETTER THAN THIEVES AND
coUNTERFEITERS - PUTS
ALTON ON RACK.

Chicago, Aug. 6-Judge Kenesaw M.
Lands Saturday, in the United States
district court, fined the Standard on
Company of Indiana $29,24O,OOO 1or
violations of the law against accepting
rebates from railroads.
= The fine is the largest ever assessed
against any individual or any corpora
ton in the history of American crlml-
nal jurisprudence and is slightly more
than 131 times as great as the amount
received by the company through It's
rebating operations.
The case will be carried to the high
er courts by the defendant company.
Oil Trust Is Scored.
The penalty imposed upon the COM
pany is the maximum permitted under
the law, and it was announced at the
end of a long opinion in which the
methods of the Standard Oil company
were mercilessly scored.
The judge, in fact, declared in his
opinion that the officials of the Stand
ard Oil company who were responsible
for the practice of which the corpora
ton was found guilty were no better
than counterfeiters and thieves, his ex-
act language being:
eve may as we'll look at this situa-
ton squareIy. The men who thus de-
liberately violate this law wound So
ciety more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
from the mall
To Swell Dividends.
Judge Lands commenced reading
his decision at 10 o'clock and occupied
one hour in its delivery. He reviewed
the facts in the case, took up the arg1l-
ments of the attorneys for the defense
and answered them, and then passed
judgment upon the company, which he
declared violated the law for the sole
purpose of swelling it's dividends. The
court held that the railroads, have no
a shipper than a board of assessors
would have to make a secret assess
ment on any particular piece of prop
erty.
To Go After Alton.
At the conclusion of his opinion and
after announcing the amount of the
fine, Judge Lands directed that a spe-
cial grand jury be called for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the acts of the
Chicago & Alton Railroad company,
1t having been proved in the case just
closed that the oil company accepted
Jury is summoned for Aug. IA.
Fined 100000 More?
Under the seven indictments still
pending against the Standard Oil COM
pany an additional fine amounting to
R88, 100000 may be levied should the
company be found guilty. There are
In these seven indictments a total of
1922 counts, and the maximum fine in
each count would be $4,000.

MAY USE TROOPS
TO ENFORCE LAW
ALABAMA AUTHORITIES WILL
COMPEL RAILROADS TO
OBEY LAW.
SOUTHERN is HELD OUTLAW
SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGiSLA.
TURE SUGGESTED TO DEAL
WITH SITUATION.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. mo Off
cia1 statement was issued last night
of the conclusions reached at confer
ence yesterday between Gov. Conner,
Attorney General CARRIER and the as
sociate counsel employed to assist in
enforcing the laws affecting railroads,
as to the next step in the case against
the Southern railway.
The governor and the attorney gen
eral left for Montgomery late yester-
day afternoon and a lengthy session
was held by the special counsel last
night, at which the legal phases of the
question were gone over.
1t is expected that they will make
a report to the governor to-day.
Troops or Special Session.
While the governor would make no
statement, his advisers let it be known
that the administration is determined
to enforce the state laws at any cost.
They said that if necessary an extra
session of the legislature would be
called or troops would be ordered out
to see that the states command is
obeyed.
Their view is that the Southern rail-
road, by defying the state law against
the removal of a case from the state
to the federal courts, thereby having
its charter revoked by the secretary of
state, has placed itself in position
to be dealt with as an outlaw.
1t is considered probable that whole
sale arrests will be made of officials
and employees of the Southern who
continue to operate the various lines
in spite of the fact that they are doing
SO without a charter from the state
No Right to Do Business.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 6.-After 60
ing into the evidence with regard
to the duty of the Southern rail-
way to provide depot at Gaylesville,
the Alabama railroad commission yes
terday refused to consider it further,
on the ground that, as the company
had no right to do business in the
state, the commission could not tell it
to do or not to do anything. The whole
matter went over.

FRENCH GUNS FIRE
ON CASAbLANCA
THE TOWN is BOMBARDED AND
FRENCH AND SPANISH TROOPS
TAKE CHARGE.
MANY MOORS ARE SHOT DOWN
FIRE DISASTROUS TO NATIVE
FURTHERMORE WARSHlPS
ON THE WAY.

Casablanca Aug. 7.-Casablanca. on
the Moroccan coast, has been bonn
barded by French cruisers, the Moors
are reported to have been shot down
in large numbers, and the town since
last Sunday night has been practically
in the possession of nding parties
from the French and Spanish cruisers.
The first shots were fired by the
Moors. The French responded with
bayonet charge and the bombardment
of the native quarter with melinite
shell. The French has six men wound
ed but no one killed. No European
residents were hurt.
More Warships on the Way.
The occupation of Casablanca is
direct outcome Of the native uprising
which resulted in the killing last week
of eight Europeans at Casablanca.
Both France and Spain are hurrying
other warships with troops and ma
rines on board to various points on
the Moroccan coast for the protection
of foreigners. Under the terms of the
Algeciras convention these two powers
are charged with the policing of the
seaports of Morocco.
News of the fighting at Casablanca
was brought here by the steamer Ana
tole.
Moors Start Trouble.
On Saturday night the French naval
officer in command informed the Moor
ish authorities that he was going to
land a force for the protection of the
French consul. Authorization to do
so was given. The force went ashore
Sunday morning at daybreak. The
FrenChmen were no sooner on the
beach than they were fired upon by
Moorish soldiers and in this first en-
counter the French forces sustained
all their casualties. The Frenchmen
fought their way to their consulate
and then signaled the cruiser Galilee
to lombard the native quarters.
Fire Is Disastrous.
The Galilee at once opened upon the
Moors She was joined at II o'clock
by the French cruiser Duchayia and
both vessels fired until 1000 rounds of
ammunition had been expended. This
fire is said to have been disastrous to
the Arabs. The batteries on a fort at
the mouth of the harbor fired on one
of the French cruisers, but it was
quickly silenced and reduced.
A second French landing party went
ashore and joined the first party at the
consulate. A third party from the
Spanish cruiser Don Alvaro de Bazan
was landed and occupied the Spanish
consulate. The European quarter of
Casablanca was not damaged.

VICTED.

Eveleth, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE latest
is the verdict of guilty rendered
against Jian Inthart and Matt Petric

on charges of attempting to intimidate
Anton Laurich and Jake Greber and

S29,24O,OOO TO Be COLLECTED
OFFICIALS IN DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE THINK FINE WILL
BE PAID.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Oficials of the
department of justice firmly believe
that the government will eventually
collect the $29,240,000 fine imposed
upon the Standard Oil company by
Judge Lands.
They admit the possibility of a re-
versal on the ground of error in the
trial, although they regard this chance
as remote, but they don't believe that
the supreme court will consider the
fine excessive.
In other words, if the conviction
stands, the fine stands with it. 1t is
expected that the case will reach the
United States supreme court within a
year, and that final decision may be
expected a few months later.
There is nothing illegal about this
record breaking fine" explained a high
authority at the department of justice
yesterday. "From the oil trusts lamen-
tations one might think Judge Lands
was the criminal instead of the Stand
ard.
"The fact that the Standard Oil COM
pany was gross offender and had
been found guilty of over 400 offenses
was no fault of the government. Nei.
Their is there a law in existence, to my
knowledge, providing that the court in
imposing a fine must first ascertain
whether the payment would prove bur-
densome to the prisoner.
"The Standard can get this case into
the supreme court of the United States
on a writ of error That. tribunal can
not go outside the record, however,
because the case is a criminal one. 1t
is doubtful if the question of fine will
be raised in the circuit court of ap-
meals"

INSANITY SHOWS INCREASE.

Number of Inmates in Wisconsin Asy.
Iu.ns Rises From $3.50 to 5,963.
Whether insanity is increasing in
proportion to the population is ques-
ton, but the numbers in the state and
county institutions have increased
from 1886 to 5,968 within the past
year, according to the statistics just
filed with the state board of control.
Of these figures, about 60 per cent are
men and 40 per cent. women. The av-
erage ratio of insanity is 1 to about
every 3S2 people.
Thirty-two counties of the state
have hospitals for the care of these
unfOrtunates On June 80 there were
4.192 in county asylums; 545 in the
Milwaukee hospital for the insane, 599
in the state hospital for the insane at
Mendoza and 632 in the Northern in
sane hospital at Oshkosh.
Secretary Tappins of the state
board of control says the number of
insane who are being cared for in
county and state hospitals is rapidly
increasing, but he says this is not to
be taken as an indication that insan-
ity is increasing in proportion to popu-
lation. In recent years the methods
of care for the insane have become so
humane that people who were former
" cared for in homes are being sent
to institutions.
At the present time TAT people are
being cared for in the home for the
feeble minded at Chippewa Falls. This
institution is overcrowded. There are
over 1000 applicants pending admis
sion at the present time, declares Sec
rotary Tappins.

crease in the different state institu-
lions on June 80, 1904, and the same

OIL TRUST is WHOLLY BAD.
Commissioner Smith Scores Standard
in Report to President.

Commissioner Smith Scores Standard
in Report TO President.
Washington, Aug. 6. - Significant
revelations are made public in a report
submitted to the president by Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner of corpora
tons, concerning the operations of the
Standard Oil company. In his letter
transmitting the report Commissioner
Smith briefly summarizes his findings
as follows:
"The following facts are proved:
The Standard has not reduced margins
during the period in which it has been
responsible for the price of oil. During
the last eight years covered by this re-
port (189S to 1909 it has raised both
prices and margins. It's domination
has not been acquired or maintained by
It's superior efficiency, but rather by
unfair competition and by methods
economically and morally unjustifia-
BILE. The Standard has superior eff
cheney in running it's own business
1t has an equal efficiency in destroying
the business of it's competitors.
"It keeps for itself the profits of the
first and adds to those the monopoly
profits secured by the second. It's
profits are far above the highest posi-
BILE standard of a reasonable CONNER
cial return, and have been steadily in
creasing. Finally, the history of this
great industry is history of the per-
sistent use of the worst industrial
methods, the exaction of exorbitant
prices from the consumer and the Sc
curing of excessive profits for the
small group of men who over a long
series of years have thus dominated
the business"

WILL NOT BREAK FRIENDSHIP.
Japan and the United States to Prove
Mutual Desire for Peace.

Mutual Desire for Peace.
Washington, Aug. Japan and the
United States propose to demonstrate
to each other and to the world their
mutual desire to maintain close and
friendly relations.
The demonstration is to take the
form of negotiations for the removal
of all differences which have arisen
between them. AS a result of investi-
cations into Asiatic immigration con-
ditions, which Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Straus and the Japanese
commission are making, the two gov
ernments will be in position to ap-
proach the settlement of the grave ex-
clusion question with better appre-
citation of each others necessities and
embarrassment.
The Japanese ambassador, Viscount
Aoli, has given the administration to
understand that his government is op-
posed to pelagic sealing, which means
it does not countenace in any way the
poaching operations of Japanese seal
ers, nor will it tolerate like operation
in Japanese waters by American seal
erS.
Beyond these two matters there are
no differences of any material conse-
quence to be adjusted. The question
which is most difficult of settlement is
that of immigration. Although a dele
cation of business men from Califor-
MIA came to Washington to urge the
president to take action toward lower
ing the bars against Asiatic immigra-
ton, there is no doubt such action is
impossible at the present time.

POLICE ROUND UP SUSPECTS
MEN CHARGED WITH BRUTAL
CRIMES NARROWLY ESCAPE
MOB VIOLENCE.

| New York, Aug. 7.-One of the most
brutal of.recent crimes against women
and children was yesterday charged
against Lucca Fontza, who was locked
up at New Brighton, Staten Island, &C
cused OF assaulting AntoinettO Talucl,
the two-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pasquale Taluci of New Brighton.
Fontza and Taluci are both laborers
employed at the King plaster mills in
New Brighton. and Fontza boarded
with the Talucis. Fontza was left with
the little child yesterday afternoon
while Mrs. Taluci went shopping. The
mother had not gone far from the
house when the child's screams
brought her back.
When he saw Mrs. Taluci Fontza
rushed from the house, Mrs. Taluci
following him. Her cries brought out
the neighbors and soon a mob was fol
lowing the fleeing Italian down the
street.
Police Fight the Mob.
The pursuers soon overlook the
man, and he was knocked to the
ground, where he was severely beaten
and kicked by men and women until
policeman appeared and with club
and revolver fought off the crowd
FontZa was held in $4,000 bail on a
charge of criminal assault.
Angelina Condarti, a six-year-old
child, was found terribly bruised in a
thicket near the village of Linoleum-
vile. Staten Island, yesterday after
noon. She had been attacked by an
unknown man.

Most of the crimes are committed in
little frequented places. Mothers
throughout the city are terror-stricken.
The arraignment of two Italians yes

made to assault young woman. The
two assailants were nearly lynched by

the police.

One man died yesterday as the re-
suit of race rioting which started Sun
day over a 10-cent bet on a ball game.
Public evaporation approaches frenzy,
which it is feared may easily lead to
serious disorders, as is revealed by the
frequency of mob attacks.
The police are bending every effort
to give adequate protection, and to
further that end 1000 plain clothes
men have been scattered about the
city, particularly in the congested
quarters, the scene of most of the as

ANOTHER BIG POWER PLANT.
Seven Million Dollars to Be Spent ir
BuiIdinu One at Hatfield.

Building One at Hatfield.
The La Crosse Light and Power
company has bought up all of the
land surrounding Hatfield for miles
for the purpose of establishing a mann
moth electric power plant there. The
village lies close on the right bank Of
Black river, and it is this stream that
will furnish the water power for the
gigantic undertaking which is now
only just begun. A concrete dam
larger and higher than almost any
other in the state is to be constructed.
A canal two and one-half miles long
is being dug for the purpose of turning
the main stream from its present
course and allowing opportunity for
the building of the dam. Five hun
dred men and great number of teams
are now employed there, and the cost
of the work reaches into the thou
sands of dollars.
At the present time there are proba.
bly, a hundred tents and shanties and
boarding houses, all of them occupied
by people engaged in the work, either
as labOrers or overseers. And as the
work progresses, more help will be re.
quired, more houses built, and in a
short time Hatfield viii become a
thriving little city.
1t is estimated by some of the off.
GERS that the expense will not fall
short of $7,OOO,OOO The object of the
ENTERPRISE is to furnish electric power
for as many places as want it, among
the chief cities being La Crosse and
Winona, Mimi.
But little in regard to this matter
has been seen in the daily papers, be
cause the work is as yet only in the
embryo state, but it will take two OF
three years to complete the work.-W
