do NOT EXPECT
STANDARD TO PAY
Sentence Imposing the Great
Fine Will be Reviewed by
the Supreme Court
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

WASHINGTON. Aux. 6-Depart-
ment of Justice officials believe that
the governments fine imposed upon
the Standard Oil Company by Judge
Lands viii not be paid. They admit
that there is ground for reversal on
error. but they do not believe the
Supreme Court win consider for
moment the amount of the fine. In
other words. If the conviction stands,
the fine stands With it.
The case will probably reach the
United States Supreme Court within
year
"There is nothing illegal about this
record breaking fine. explained a
high authority of the Department Of
Justice to-day "From the Oil
Trusts lamentations one might think
Judge Lands was the criminal in
stead of the Standard"
Gross Offender
"The fact that the Standard Oil
Company was a gross offender and
had been found guilty Of over 1,4O0 Of
fenses, was no fault of the govern
ment. Neither is there a law in ex-
istence to my knowledge, providing
that the court in imposing q fine must
first ascertain whether the payment
would prove burdensome to the
prisoner.
"The trusts attorneys have the
right to attack the proceedings on "a
bin Of exceptions to the Circuit Court
of Appeals, but it is hardly likely thar
the question of fine will appear IN
this record. If it did. all the higher
court would do would be to ascertain
If the sentence had been imposed in
conformity with the law. The stand
ara can get this case into the Supreme
Court of the United States on writ
of error. That tribunal cannot 60
outside Of the record. however be-
cause the case is a criminal one. Il
is very doubtful IL the question of
fine will be raised in the Supreme
Court any more than it will be in the
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Two Strings to Its Bow
"The Standard Oil has two strings
to its bow against the governments
one. II can carry the Chicago case
to the Circuit Court of Appeals and
temporarily defeat the Federal gov
ernment if that tribunal should re-
verse the proceedings in the lower
court. If II loses out there it can ap-
neal to the Supreme Court of the
United states. The government would
not have the writ of appeals from an
adverse decison the Circuit Court
of Appeals"

SUES FOR DAMAGES
MRS. HATTIE GARDNER ASKS FOR
 SSO,00O FROM L. AND N.
She Fell from Train in Passing from One Car to Another on Her Way to Tus-
 kegee.

Mrs. Hattie Gardner yesterday filed suit in the City Court against the Lou isville and Nashville Railway for dam ages in the sum of $30.000, her bill of complaint alleging that in June, 1907, she was injured to an extent commen- surate with the damages asked for.
 Mrs. Gardner recites in her petition that she was a passenger on the train operated by the said railway. and that it was gross negligence on the part of the railway company or its author ized agents that she sustained broken rib, dislocated shoulder and internal injuries which are a serious permanent hindrance to her welfare.
 The specific allegations in the bill are that she was told that she could go to Tuskegee from Montgomery with out a change of cars, but that while the train was in Montgomery County she was told to go into another car and that 1t was while doing this that she missed her footing and fell from the train.
 It is interesting to note whether or not the railway company will apply for a change of Jurisdiction under it's for eign charter, and ask that the case be tried in the Federal Court. This prac- tice has been resorted to on many oc- casions previously. but it is now against the second of the State outlaw acts, which has not been repealed. It was for transferring such a suit, without enjoining the operation of the law, that the charter of the Southern was re- voked few weeks ago.

Marion Dudley Given Preliminary Trial
 In MariRnna.

Marianna, Fla, Sept. 7.--(Special.) J. The preliminary trial of Marion Dud- ley. son of a prominent farmer of this county, was had today before Judge J. c. McKinnon, upon a charge of breaking and entering a dwelling for the purpose of committing a fel- Ony, with the result that Dudley was bound over to await the action of the grand jury at the fall term of the circuit court bond being fixed at SS- 000 Defendant has not given bond but filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus before Hon. William B. Far ley, court commissioner for this (Jack- son) county, in order to procure re- duction of bond
 Saturday night at about II o'clock, so the testimony shows, some one prized open the blinds and raised the window of a room occupied by Misses Daisy McCroan, about fifteen years of age. and Lizzie McCroan, about four teen years of age, at the residence of w. H. McCron at Cypress, Fla, about twelve miles from here. The young ladies were asleep at the time in bed close to the window. Miss Daisy McCroan was awakened by some one placing his hand on her person and she screamed and assisted by the screams of Miss Lizzie McCroan, MT
 
 had escaped leaving near the house some slippers which were found a few minutes afterwards by MT. McCroan and party who were looking for the intruder.
 Miss Daisy says she could tell it was q white man by seeing his arm and hand and feeling the hair on his arm which she grabbed upon being awak ened. Marion Dudley admits the slip pers to be his but claims that he took them of leaving them near his bed in his room and some one else must have taken them. His defense is an alibi. The matter has been kept quite secret but at the preliminary trial yesterday the court room was crowded where number of witnesses on each side were examined. This is the first case of the kind here in some years. Several years ago a negro was hanged for ac- complaining the act upon a white wo man not far from this place.
 Everything Is quiet and no threats are being made but all parties seem to desire to let the law take it's course. w. H. McCroan. father of Miss Daisy and uncle of Miss Lizzie, and at whose house the crime was attempted, Is deputy sheriff of this county.

STRIKING TELEGRAPHERS
 CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
Montgomery Men Declare Strike is Progressing in Manner Satis-
 factory tO Them,

Progressing In Manner Satis-
 factory to Them.
 The end of the fourth week of the telegraphers' strike finds the Mont gomery strikers and their sympathiz- CTS more confident of success than at any previous time.
 ''The strikers are undoubtedly we'll organized as is shown in the conduct of their affairs locally as well as na- tionally." said a strike leader last night. During the great strike of 1883 more than 50 per cent of the telegraphers who went out deserted the union during the first fifteen days of the struggle, but less than one per cent have deserted in four weeks of the present strike and this decrease has been more than offset by the gains from the companies.
 Latest reports by broker wires re- ceived here this afternoon show that the strike is most effective throughout the Middle and Western States. In Montana not commercial office is open and a very small percentage of the commercial officers in the other far-Western States are open.
 Little Rock, Ark, has been closed for the third time.
 'In Texas S5 per cent of the offices are closed as a result of railroad teleg- raphers refusing to handle commercial telegrams.
 General Secretary Wesley Russell compiled a statement today which shows that here are 21 900 telegraphers on strike as against 921 working. This report also shows that the union has received over 5000 new members dur ing the four weeks of the strike These constitute large proportion of the non members who went out in sym pathy with the union men.
 Today was pay day at strike head quarters, and every striker who need ed assistance received substantial weekly allowance.

YesneIn Tied Up.

Today witnessed the complete. tie up of every vessel in Pensacola har- bor. which is propelled by power fur nished by gasoline. For several days vessels have been tying up for lack of fuel. and each day the owners of the launches were in hopes that a car containing about 5000 gallons would arrive, but it has failed to appear, and this morning all boats having be- come exhausted with the exception of about five gallons, went out of com mission.
 This five gallons of gasoline, which had been pumped from the tanks of the thirty or forty gasoline launches, was placed in the tank of the big launch Grand Rapids, and that vessel with this amount of fuel, put out into the gulf on a trip to Mobile. in the hope of securing a large supply there. She had aboard several gasoline drums, which will hold 300 gallons each, and 1t is expected that she will return here tomorrow with enough gasoline to run the harbor boats until supply can be received.
