NEW INVESTIGATION ORDERED
Trust Is Severely Scored
from Bench-Casc Care
fully Reviewed in
Decision.
Case to Be Appealed to Court Of Last
Resort-TriaI Was Most
important

Chicago, Aug 5.-Judge Lands
Saturday struck rapid successive
blows at the Standard Oil company.
First he fined its Indiana corporation
the limit-S29, ,24O. .O0O-for accepting
rebates on oil shipments over the Chi
cago & Alton railroad.
The penalty imposed is the limit
provided by the law, and followed a
long opinion In which the methods
and tactics Of the oil company we're
nayed mercilessly by the court.
New Probe is Ordered.
Then he ordered the impaneling Of
q special grand jury to meet August
IL to take up charges growing out Of
his examination of the oficers Of the
New Jersey corporation. Simultane-
ously with these acts Judge Lands
scored the Rockefeller concern as 1t
has never before been scored from the
bench and In fact by only few Of
the most radical orators.
The men who deliberately violate
this law wound society more deeply
than does he who counterfeits the
coin or steals letters from the mail"
was one singing sentence in the
judges arraignment of the Rockefel-
Ter corporation. Earlier he had an
nounced that to heed its plea for a
modest fine because It had injured no
competitors for II had none would be
to put premium upon crime.
Speaks Of "studied insolence."
Another rebuke for the defendant
corporation and for the lawyers came
when Judge Lands spoke of the
studied insolence" with which they
had treated the court. With the re.
buke was a warning. Judge Lands
quoted from the statement in which
the company lawyers had refused to
plead mitigating circumstances in con.
nection with their defense and said
that they must consider their offense
the first time.
In this statement the word mob"
had been used. II afforded Judge
Lands an opportunity for pillorying
the millionaire corporation" which
'gratuitously introduced" such a sub.
ject before the court.
Case 10 Carefully Reviewed.
Judge Lands consumed an hour
and quarter in reading his decision,
in the course of which he carefully
reviewed the case, took up the argu-

with the pilfering of the contents OF
letters in the United States mail.
The court expressed regret thht the
law failed to provide no more serious
punishment than a fine, but insisted
that that penalty should be large
enough to act as a deterrent, and not
of such size as to enable the offender
to accept It as license to continue
in its lawIessness.
Lands Uses Much Sarcasm.
All through the decision Judge
Lands dealt in sarcasm and pointed
language. It peeped out from the
midst of legal verbiage which recited
the facts introduced In the evidence
and pointed out their significance.
The decision read by the judge
opened with the setting forth Of the
charges against the defendant com
pany, the Standard Oil company OF
Indiana. II stated them precisely and
quoted the law It was alleged the
company had violated. The evidence
and the pleas of the company were
then recited and finally the question
of the application of the Elkins law
was taken up. Judge Lands declared
that there was no basis for the con
tention that this law was unconstitu.
tional, as the courts had often decided
to the contrary.
Trial Arouses Interest.
The trial Of the Standard OIL com
pany was the most important In the
history of the federal courts. Finan'
ciers and lawyers from all parts OF
the United States followed the legal
battle.
The specific indictments upon which
the district attorney made his fight
were those charging the acceptance
OF rebates from the Chicago q Alton
railroad.
It was charged by the government
that the Standard Oil company accept
ed q rate of six cents per 100 pounds
on oil shipped from Whiting. Ind,

The trial lasted for six weeks and
ended In verdict Of guilty on each
indictment and on each separate
count In each indictment. The
maximum fine under the verdict of
the jury would be $2s.000,000 1t
could be much less. should II be
shown that the Standard Oil com.
pany Of Indiana, with a capital stock
Of but $1,000. 900. is not a subsidiary
company of the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey, with headquarters In
the home of the octopus at 20 Broad
way, New York.
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, before
whom the trial and conviction were
attained, expressed curiosity as to
the relationship of the two organiza-
tions. He wanted to know whether or
not the Hoosier concern was a part
Of the Manhattan combine, or simply
a poverty-stricken imitation.
In satisfaction OF this curiosity he
caused to be served with subpoenas
John ID. Rockefeller and numerous
satellites of lesser magnitude In the
petroleum field. They were heard In
one of the most sensational sessions
Of the federal court July 6. Since
then the court has been enjoying
country solitude. deciding upon the
size Of the prize package to be haad-
ed to the alleged monopolists.

unprecedented fins imposed upon the
Standard Oil company by Judge
Lands In the United States court at
Chicago was received In New York
with excited interest. The general
expectation for some days has been

able to the Standard OH company,

REMEDY
Makes the Kidneys Filter Out the
POiSOnS

A leading journal in answering
the question, What is the best pre-
scription to clean and purify the
blood" prints in a recent issue the
following: Fluid Extract of Dande'
lion one-half ounce, Compound Kar.
gon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sar.
saparilla three ounces. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist who is IA.
miliar with this prescription states
that it is harmless, being composed
of vegetable ingredients which can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy.
It cleans the blood of all impuri-
ties and nourlshes the blood. In just
few days the skin begins to clear
of sores, bolls and pimples. IL puts
vigor and energy into rundown, de-
biliated men and women. For many
years Sarsaparilla alone has been
considered good blood medicine.
But while II built up and made new
blood, the impurities remained with
in and the good accomplished was
only temporarily. SaI Isaparilla, how
ever, when used in combination with
Compound Kargon and Extract
Dandelion works wonders. This
combination puts the kidneys to work
to filter and sift out the waste mat
ter, uric acid and other impurities
that cause disease. 1t makes new
blood and relieves rheumatism and
lame back and bladder troubles.
This prescription is better than the
usual patent medicines, which are IN
the most part alcoholic concotlons.
The ingredients cost but little. They
may be procured from any good phar-
macist and mixed at home. Every
man and woman here should make
some up and try Il II they feel their
system requires a good blood medl-
cine and tonic.
The Kargon TO clean the kidneys
and vltallze them so they can clean
the blood. Sarsaparila to make new
rich blood and Dandelion to tone the
stomach, clean the liver and make
It active and relieve constipation is
the way the prescription acts and so
mildly and gently that one does not
consider they are taking a medicine.

action was taken toward leniencv
in the matter of sheep dipping. nm.
less 1t was known that sheep were

cision will prove gratifying to all
valley sheep owners who have unin-
fected sheep, as dipping requires a
considerable expense in the way of
dipping watts, materials, inspectors

unnecessary, and it is certainly a
needless expenditure unless the

lem, Albany, Corvallis, Eugene on

Salem has fallen into the habit OF
looking after appropriations for her
state institutions; Corvallis for the
agricultural college; Eugene for the
university. 1t is worthy of note that
Albany people and people of the little
town of independence, also on the
Willamette have taken more active
part in seeking relief from the locks
embargo than all the rest. And
neither is afflicted with state or fed
