Chicago, July 8.-The attorneys for
.1he Standard Oil Company teday de-
clined to submit H. further evidence
in the Investigation hao on Saturday
by Judge Lands in the United States
district sOunrt.
Judge Lands announced hat SEN
tence will be passed on the Standard
Oil Company which was convicted Of
using illegal railroad rebates on All
gust 3Fd.
Judge Lands ar the opening of the
court today said to the attorneys of the
company:
Have you anything to offer on the
case prior to the entering Of a final
order"
eve have a formal statement to
make said Attorney Rosenthal. Mr..
Rosenthal read it substantially as
follows:
I'm answer to the court as to wneth-
er the defendant desires to offer any
evidence tending to show hat the de-
fendnnt, or the Standard Oil CON-
pany of New Jersey, violated the in
ter-state commerce law before, AMI APP
pearing for the purpose of answer
ing this inquiry and deny the juris-
diction Of the court in the premises
and contending that the entire inquiry
is beyond the legal power of the court,
the defendant still insisting that the
record in this case shows that it IS
innocent Of the eOffense charged in the
indictment, the defendant desires 30
say:
There are in Sthe record no sugges-
lions that this defendant ever befO"3
was charged with the violation of the
Interstate commerce law.
For the defendant O asserts it's
innocence of matters that it is not
charged with or attempt to show that
it has been innocent of wrong doing
in connection with the matters outside
of the record of this case would pre-
sent a case undeard if in Anglo
Saxon Jurisprudence"
The statement declared at length
that the court had no right to go out
side the record Of the case in con
,sidering the penalty to be melted out.
The statement then concludes:
eff the occasion shall ever arise in
an appropriate proceeding where this
defendant can without any waiver Of
its legal rights subject itself to the
question of having heretofore violated
the interstate commerce law it will
certainly appear that since the pas
sage of the law there has been no VIC
lation Of it's provisions by either the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
or the STANDARD Oil Company of IN

parent interest and when concluded
