door Of the house, and as he did so he
heard a voice yell:
1.-THE judge can give me thirty years this
time. because / am going to kill you"
The policeman quickly rushed into the
house. and just as he did so he saw Rod
ney Hawkins. colored. with his hand, hold
ing knife in 1t, raised over his father. just
as he was about to strike the officer
grasped Rodneys arm and prevented the
blow. Rodney's arrest followed.

THREE OBJECTIONS RAISED
BLAME ON RAILROADS

CHICAGO. March f2.-The outcome Of the
standard Oil case on trial before Judge K.
M Lands In the United States circuit
court Is. fguratively speaking, hanging in
the balance. Technical objections almost
without number have been raised by attor-
neys for the defense. While almost all
have been overruled. there remain three
still undecided, which, il sustained, will
overthrow the entire fabric Of the govern
ment's prosecution. These objections, in
brief, are that the Chicago and Alton tariff
sheets were not posted in two conspicuous
places In the station at Chappell, ILL.,; that
Chappell Is not named In the Chicago and
Alton tariffs as shipping station, and,
consequently, there Is no violation of the
EIkins law in the ChappelI counts; that
the government has not shown the exist
ence of 19h-cent rate on oil from Chap
peu to St Louis, Mo-, and that the mere
filing of the bridge tariffs by the Alton did
not constitute the establishment of such a
rate.
OF these three objections the first is the
most important from the standpoint of its
far-reaching effect should it be Sustained.
1t has been fairly well established that the
tarin sheets were not posted not only in
Cnappell but in any other station from
which the Standard Oil Company shipped
its products If Judge Lands holds this
neglect OF the railroad company absolves
the shipper the prosecution in this case and
those started under all the other indict-
ments will fall. This posting of tariffs, ac-
cording to Attorneys John s. Miller and
Moritz Rosenthal. is part of the provision
or the Elkins law. Under it's provisions
tarlns must be filed not only with the inter-
state commerce commission but published
by the railroad company issuing them.
The government has proved the printing
The posting is another matter. With en-
pioyes of a railroad annually shipping thou
sands of tons of freight for the defendant
and employees Of the defendant itself for
witnesses there is little possibility of the
government establishing It,
In opposition to arguments of the defense,
attorneys for the government hold that vio-'
lation of the law by railroad company can
not relieve shipper of his responsibility
under it.

FOR NEW TRIAL.
Motion by Joseph Peolucci, Convictfe
Of Murder.

convicted last Friday in Criminal Court No.
z OF first degree murder in connection
with the death of Elizabeth W Dodge Sep
temoer Ii last. today, by Attorney Thomas
Z. Taylor. filed motion for a new trial.
The principal reason assigned why the
verdict of the jury should be set aside, ac-
cording to the motion. is the statement
made by the prosecutor in his address to
the pury, in which he said. This modern
Romeo had boosted to a mass Of his italian

Go to Jail in Default of Bond.

The number 10 proved to be 1nlucky
for Charles Brown and Walter Brooks, both
colored, few days ago. for it put them in
the custody Of Policeman Haycock of the
fifth precinct and made them defendants
before Judge Mullowny in the Police Court
today on a charge of larceny from the
United States. Judge Mullowny held them
for the action of the grand jury and in de-
fault of $500 bond they were ordered to be
committed to Jail.
1t was alleged that the defendants took
iron posts belonging to the government
from the lot between 9Th. 9Th, K and L
streets southeast, where they were stored.
A few days ago, when these two men and
two others who have previously been ar
