The Standard OIL Fine.

The largest fine ever imposed by
any court in the history of the
world was placed upon tne Standard
Oil company OF Indiana by Judge
lands. of the United States courc
for the district of northern Illinois,
on Saturday last. The company mad been
found guilty of accepting Illegal rebates
by a jury. There were no fewer than
l,462 separate counts or instances of re-
batting put before the jury after over 400
counts had been Withdrawn, and the
maximum fine of 1000 was imposed for
each of these counts, making the enor-
nous aggregate fine of $29.2i0,000 While
the InGiana company thus fined has capt.
tai stock OF only $1,000, 900, it is said to
have attachable property of value in ex-
cess of the total fine. AS it is a sub
sidiary branch Of the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey, the latter may be
held responsible, and ii was on this
point and on the value and capitalization
of the parent, company, it will be re-
membered, that Judge Lands required
the testimony Of Mr.. Rockefeller and
other officers of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey. The governments case
was based on the allegation that the
Standard had received from the Chicago
and Alton Railroad company between
1908 and 1905 rate Of six cents per one
hundred pounds on oil shipped from
Whiting. Indiana, to East St. Louis, I'LL
nois. and St Louis, Missouri, in the face
of published rate OF eighteen cents per
one hundred pounds for similar ship
ments. The chief defense was that the
Standard Oil company supposed that the
siX-cent rate had been filed by the Chi
cago and Alton railway as required and
that 1t was the legal rate 1t Is stated
that the government will now proceed
against the railway In this same matter.
An appeal will doubtless be taken, and
in time the case will be reviewed by the
United States supreme court. This case
Is an illustration on large scale OF a
truth already pointed out in The outlook
that tine policy of the present adminis-
tration as regards trusts is not to fight
them because they are great combinations
of capital, nor to make them ask lower
prices or pay higher rates, but to force
them to stop giving and taking unequal
rates for the same service.-[The Out

According to a writer in Success. the
home spirit in New York city has already
been so shattered that Al per cent Of the
so-called "fashionables' now reside in
hotels in preference to dwelling under
their own vine and fig tree. The latest
edition Of the social Register shows that
5000 families in New York city with
wealth and aristocratic pride have given
up their private homes TO live in hotels
An expert who has studied the hotel
business in every principal country Of
two hemispheres says that New York
cares for three times as many persons in
hotels as does London, six times as many
as does Paris, and ten times as many as
does any other city that can be named.
There are 1876 large frst-class hotels in
Manhattan alone, and more than 300 in
GLIDING the smaller ones.
