BELIEVES IN SUN SPOTS.
A Word About a Favorite Theory az
to Short Crops.

In the bottom of it's heart a good
part of the financial community cher
ishes the suspicion that financial
crises, especially when caused or ac-
companied by bad harvests, have
something to do with sun spots,'
says the New York Post. The argu-
ment is that these years of intense
solar activity come somewhere near
once in ten years and 80 do panics;
that "sun spots very probably cause
abnormal seasons or our own planet
and that abnormal seasons cause crop
failures and trouble in the stock ex.
change. Nobody would need to take
this seriously but for the fact that, SO
years ago, a very eminent English
economist frankly asserted his belief
in the theory. Prof. Jevons was so
confident of it's applicability that in
1875 he predicted a European panic in
1879, because the "sun-spot" activity
would then be again approaching a
maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1887 was one of sun-spot maximum
and also a year of commercial panic.
Sun spots were very active in 1871,
1872 and 1873 and we know what hap
pened in the markets. In 1883 a vio-
lent maximum was reached; Europe
had a stock-exchange panic in 1882
and the United States one in 1884.
There was a famous "sun-spot year.
in 1898 and, what is more to the point,
we are still in a period of solar activi-
ty and disordered markets.
So far, this is all very we'll; but let
us be thorough. The panic of 1857
was one of the worst on the list, and
1857 came in a period of sun-spot
minimum. In 1866, when one of the
worst of England's financial crises &C.
CURED, solar activity was at the low
est level in a decade. A period Of
sun-spot minimum began in 1889 and
continued into the Barring year."
1890. Evidently sun spots do not al
ways have the same effect.
Prof. Jevons thought that the effect
was brought about through crop fail
ures. The astronomers tell us, how
ever, that so far as there is any CORE
s%pondence, "cold years, rains and in
undations appear to correspond to
those when the sun is quiet; dry and
warm years to epochs of great solar
activity" Now a dry year may ruin
crops as well as a cold year; but as a
matter of record among panic years,
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest, 1873 yielded a bumper crop"
in the United States, with 1872 a good
second, and 1884 was a year of un-
paralleled wheat production all over
the world. And what is to be said Of
1879 and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops" in the western hemi-
sphere and lost most of the harvest in
the eastern.

to East st. Louis, Ill, and St. Louis,
Mo-, in the face of a published rate
of IS cents per 100 pounds for similar
shipments.
The trial lasted for six weeks and
ended in a verdict of guilty on each
indictment and on each separate
count in each Indictment. The
maximum fine under the verdict of
the jury would be s29, 000,O 900. 1t
could be much less, should it be
shown that the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, with a capital stock
of but 81, LOCO, 900, is not a subsidiary
company of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey, with headquarters in
the home of the octopus at 26 Broad
way, New York.
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands, before
whom the trial and conviction were
attained, expressed a curiosity as to
the relationship of the two organiza-
tons. He wanted to know whether or
not the Hoosier concern was a part
Of the Manhattan combine, or simply
a poverty-stricken imitation.
In satisfaction of this curiosity he
caused to be served with s%ubpoenas
John D., Rockefeller and numerous
satellites of lesser magnitude in the
petroleum field. They were heard in
one of the most sensational sessions
of the federal court July 6. Since
then the court has been enjoying
country solitude, deciding upon the
size Of the prize package to be hand
ed to the alleged monopolists.
Case to Be Appealed.
New York, Aug. 5.-News of the
unprecedented fine imposed upon the
Standard Oil company by Judge
Lands in the United States court at
Chicago was received in New York
with excited interest. The general
expectation for some days has been
that the decision would be u~nfavor:
able to the Standard Oil company,
but apparently no one looked for the
imposition Of the maximum penalty
on the 1852 counts in the indictment
reaching the enormous total of 500,
24O, 1000.
Few of the officials of the company
were at their offices Saturday. Mr.
Rogers has been absent for some
days. The Standard Oil attorneys
had nothing to say further than that
an appeal will be entered and con
tinHed to the last resort.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1907-08-08

with the pilfering of the contents of
letters in the United States mail.
The court expressed regret that the
law failed to provide no more serious
punishment than a fine, but insisted
that that penalty should be large
enough to act as a deterrent, and not
of such size as to enable the offender
to accept it as a license to continue
in its lawlessness.
Lands Uses Much Sarcasm.
All through the decision Judge
Lands dealt in sarcasm and pointed
language. 1t. peeped out from the
midst Of legal verbiage which recited
the facts introduced in the evidence
and pointed out their significance.
The decision read by the judge
opened with the setting forth of the
charges against the defendant COM
pany, the Standard Oil company of
Indiana. It stated them precisely and
quoted the law it was alleged the
company had violated. The evidence
and the pleas of the company were
then recited and finally the question
of the application of the Elkins law
was taken up. Judge Lands declared
that there was no basis for the con-
tention that this law was unconsitu-
tional, as the courts had often decided
to the contrary.
Trial Arouses Interest.
The trial of the Standard Oil COM
pany was the most important in the
history of the federal courts. Finan-
ciers and lawyers from all parts Of
the United States followed the legal
battle.
The specific indictments upon which
the district attorney made his fight
were those charging the acceptance
of rebates from the Chicago & Alton
railroad.
1t was charged by the government
that the Standard Oil company accept
ed a rate Of six cents per 100 pounds
on oil shipped from Whiting, Ind,

WARNING IN SHOE SOLE.
Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate to
Start Electric Buzzer.

Some of the dives about town that
are under the ban of the police have
ingenious contrivances for warning
occupants and patrons of the ap-
proach of a "bull" or any other sus-
pected person. By the way, these
places are never referred to in the
vernacular as Olives or "joints," for
the vocabulary Of the inventors Of
slang changes as quickly as a word
comes into general use, so a suspected
place is now always referred to as a
dump"
Warning Of the approach of a police
man or detective is given by means of
an electric buzzer. Formerly the push
button connected with the buzzer was
concealed under the edge of the bar
in front of or behind a water pipe.
This device, however, was discovered
by the police, who thereafter on en-
tering a suspected place kept a close
watch on the %barkeeper and gave him
no chance to press the button.
Then came the prong device. This

projecting from the edge of the wall.
When a man suspected to be a limb of
the law entered the door the barkeep-
er c%arelessly placed a coin across the
two prongs, thus making a circuit and
causing the buzzer to sound in the
This device was discovered, too, so
now a lookout is stationed outside the
door of a dive. He apparently is a
lounger, but he scans closely by a
quick glance the face of every person
who enters. If a mar doesn't look
"all right" the lookout presses his
foot, which has a copper plate nailed
to the sole, to another small plate af-
fixed to the surface of a cellar door
way outside. This makes the circuit
and causes the buzzer, to get busy, so
that by the time the "bull' throws
open the door the occupants who are
wanted by the police have had time
to make their escape and those who
remain are seated at tables harmless
ly drinking beer or engaged in a
friendly game Of pinochle or whist.
Everything is apparently ION the
level and the "bull" is forced to
withdraw without having been able to
obtain any evidence.

fully Reviewed in
Decision.
Case to Be Appealed to Court of Last
Resort-TriaI Was Most
Important.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Judge Lands
Saturday struck rapid successive
blows at the Standard Oil company.
First he fined it's Indiana corporation
the limit-s29,2 4O, O00-for accepting
rebates on oil shipments over the Chi
cago & Alton railroad.
The penalty imposed is the limit
provided by the law, and followed a
long opinion in which the methods
and tactics of the oil company were
f1ayed mercilessly by the court.
New Probe Is Ordered.
Then he ordered the %impaneling of
a special grand jury to meet August
IA to take up charges growing out Of
his examination of the officers of the
New Jersey corporation. Simultane-
ously with these acts Judge Lands
scored the Rockefeller concern as it
has never before been scored from the
bench and in fact by only a few of
the most radical orators.
The men who deliberately violate
this law wound society more deeply
than does he who c%ounterfeits the
coin Or steals letters from the MAIL"
was one singing sentence in the
judges arraignment of the Rockefel-
Ter corporation. Earlier he had an
nounced that to heed it's plea for a
modest fine because it had injured no
competitors for it had none would be
to put a premium upon crime.
Speaks of "studied In%solence."
Another rebuke for the defendant
corporation and for the lawyers came
when Judge Lands spoke of the
studied i~nsolence" with which they
had treated the court. With the re.
bul1e was a warning. Judge Lands
quoted from the statement in which
the company lawyers had refused to
plead mitigating circumstances in con
nection with their defense and said
that they must consider their offense
the first time.
In this statement the word mob
had been used. 1t afforded Judge
! Lands an opportunity for pillorying
the millionaire corporation which
"gratuitously introduced" such a sub.
ject before the court.
Case Is Carefully Reviewed.
Judge Lands consumed an hour
and a quarter in reading his decision,
n the course of which he carefully
eviewed the case, took up the argu.
