lands LETS TIE ALTON, GO
Decides that Promise of Immunity to
Road Is Binding.
Letter from Attorney General shows
that Attorney sims Predecessor
Gave His Pledge.

Chicago, Sept. 24-Judge Lands. in the
United States District Court. decided to-
day that the Chicago ana Alton Railway
shall not be further prosecuted for its
connection with the Standard on Com
pauy of Indiana, and the granting Of
rebates between Whiting. Ind. and East
St Louisf H.
It was urged by Attorney General
Bonaparte. whose letter was read 20 the
court by District Attorney Sims. that Nj
Morrison, the predecessor of Mr.. Sims in
office. had promised immunity TO the Al
ton road, provided it assisted in good
faith in the prosecution Of the Standard
oil Company The attorney general
therefore asserted that It was the duty
of the government TO see that no further
steps toward the punishment of the rail-
road for its part in the granting Of the
rebates be taken.
When the letter had been read Judge
lands declined to discharge the jury,
but instructed its members that they had
no further duty TO perform in connection
with the Chicago and Alton.
The court then called attention to
statement, recently issued by President
Mofett. Of the Standard Oil Company Of
Indiana. in which it was set forth that
if the Standard Oil Company was guilty
Of receiving rebates no other manufac-
turer was innocent. The court directed
the jury to investigate the conduct Of
other manufacturers and directed that a
subpoena be issued for President NIoffett.
