STANDARD OIL FINED 500, 24o, 900.

The case against the Standard Oil
Co. before Judge Lands, of the fed
eral court at Chicago, which has at
tracted so much attention of late, has
resulted in the conviction of the com
pany and the fine of the above amount.
Following are a few of the important
facts in the case:
The event is historical.
Fine was S29, 100000.
This was the maximum amount.
IL was a worlds record breaker.
Largest fine in history of criminal
jurisprudence.
Standard Oil was fined on seven
indictments.
These indictments contained 1862
counts.
The maximum fine on each count
was $4,000.
Fine is 131 times as great as amount
received by the company.
Stock of Standard Oil in Indiana
is one million.
Fine was therefore 20 times as large
as the capital stock.
Case will be appealed in 60 days.
Will go to court of appeals and
then to u. S. supreme court.
Case will come up again in January
1908.
Judge Lands classed officials of
company in class with thieves and
counterfeiters.
There are seven indictments of 4,422
counts pending.
The company may be fined $685.
100000 more if found guilty.
