Chicago, ILL.,, August S.-Judge
Lands in the United States district
court today, imposed a fine upon the
standard Oil company of Indiana, of
$29,240,000, the maximum amount
upon each one of the 1,462 counts of
the indictment on which that COM

The court room was packed to It's
utmost capacity while Judge Lands
was reading mis- ucC4s- On.
The defense had contended that
the Elkins law authorized the pros
ecution for but one offense, and
maintained that there could be a con-
viction on only one count. The court
held that the law is violated every
time any property is so transported,
as a legal rate was established by
the railroad company on a carload
lot basis.
To the defendants claim that rep
reservations by the Alton had misled
the Standard into a sincere belief
that the Alton six cent rate had been
filed with the interstate commerce
commission, the court held that as

FISH TRUST INDICTED
FOR ALLEGED
REBATING
Chicago Grand Jury Takes
Shot at A. Booth &
Company.

Chicago, August indictments
were returned today in the u. S. dis
trict court against A. Booth a. Co.,
general known as the fish trust"
the New York, Chicago and st. LAuls
Railroad company, and the Lehigh
Valley Railroad company, charging
them with a violation of the first pro-
vision of the Elkins law prohibiting
rebating.
Booth & Company for years have
had a practical monopoly of the fish
and oyster business, having branch
houses all over the United States and
Canada. The concern has grown TO
immense proportions and its ship
ping business has become of such
great size that the railroads and eX-
press companies it favors are glad to
hustle for its patronage.
The Lehlgh Valley company and
the New York Chicago & st. Louis
railroad have carried the majority Of
its business between the eastern
coast and Chicago and St Louis.

with the business Of the fish trust
and the common carriers are expect

REMARKABLE ATTACKS
ON WOMEN AND
CHILDREN
New York in Panic Over
Crimes in Which the
Perpetrators Are
Unknown.
FIVE KILLED AND
SCORE ATTACKED
Work May Be That of Insane Fiend
of Ripper lnClindtlons. Though
Police Believe Several
Men Are Concerned
In Murders.

New York, August 1.-The re-
markable series of crimes in this city,
in which women and children are the
objects of attack, shows no signs OF
abating. Yesterday two such attacks
were reported to the police and today
one additional case has been brought
to public notice, that of a young east
side girl, who was attacked by a mis-
creant while passing through the
hallway of the house in which she
lived.
Scarcely an arrest of Importance
has been made and the police con-
fess themselves completely bafIled,
Some detectives believe that the as
saults are the work of one man, who
has the mad animal instinct of the
London and Berlin "rippers." 9th
ers, who combat this theory, point to
the widely separated localities in
which the crimes have occurred, and
the different methods with which the
murder was finally accomplished.
There is a marked decrease in the
number of women and children upon
the streets at night. Every little i'll
cident Is magnified and a mob quick
ly assemblies. In several instances
men have been attacked by crowds
and severely beaten.
The newspapers are publishing let
ters from correspond ents suggesting
that vigilance committees and pro-
IeCllNO uSSOCldllOnS De
A list of the victims killed num-
bers five three young girls and two
women and a score or more have
been attacked.
Few Clues.
There Is little doubt that several
of the murders were accomplished
by the same man. In at least two
cases, where bodies of women were
found, the slayer had killed them by
strangling the women with a neck
tie and after death he had mutilated
their bodies with a sharp knife. In
the other cases, various means were
employed to accomplish the murders,
and the fact that two murders were
discovered at practically the same
hour in different localities is proof
that more than one man is engaged
in the terrible work.
The police have attempted to fol-
low clues, but there Is complete
lack of all trails, beyond a few tangi-
ed circumstances which mean prac-
tically nothing. The best detectives
in the city have worked on the cases
but there is nothing to report of sue
cess.
Men and women who are forced
to go into dark streets at night are
arming themselves and it is feared
that this fact will cause more killings
as reVolvers in the hands Of fright
ened men and women are more like
ly to cause trouble than a revolver
in the hands of would-be murderer.

Six Cent Rate Illegal.
As TO the evidence offered by the
defendant 20 the effect that during
the period covered by the Indictment,
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rail-
road published an open rate of a
cents from Wheeling to East St
Louis, the court said that this fact
should be considered in mitigation,
If true, but he found from an examl-
nation of the Eastern Illinois scheG-
ules that this rate was not filed with
the interstate commerce commission
until one year after the expiration of
the period covered by the Indictment,
and nearly three years after its is
sue. and so it could not serve the
purpose of eNcusing or palliating the
acceptance by the defendant of the
unlawful Alton six cent rate.
