San Antonio. Tex. April 15.--The
growing of date palms for their fruit

Experts from the department OF

palms in considerable territory that
by means of soil surveys has been

THEATRICAL NOTES
seabrooIse In New COMEDY.

The st. Louis Republic of Monday,
April s. has the following to say of
The Man On The Box" at The Ken
lucky tonight:
What would the Old guard, the
musical comedy old guard, who
knew Tom Seabroolke as King Pom
merry Second, say if they should look
In at the Garrick and see the new
Man on the Box? Let us hope they
would like the change. II Is far and
away better than Seabrooke's most
Optimistic friends dreamed him capa-
| bio of attaining. This man who used
to disfigure himself to make the null
titude roar, is refreshingly come.y.
Can you, by any trick OF the imagl-
nation, see the creator of funny old
Pommery exhibiting a keen appreci-
alton of the beautifn, and the poetic?
This new Seahrooke, this army lieu
tenant, who pretends he Is a coach
man to be near the girl OF his heart,
has fine sentiment, choice English
and smart knowledge OF men and
things.
Mr.. Seabrooke must be almost as
old as Kaiser wilhelm, but we be-
ho,d a graceful actor with handsome
youth, merry laugh that seems to
come from the heart, and an agility
almost boylsh Those who say Henry
Dixey as Lieutenant Worburton, may
insist that Dixey has shade the bet
ter Of it, but they will like Seebrooke.
Those who haven't seen Dixey will
proclaim Seabrooke something of a
wonder. Comparisons, of course, are
almost inevitable, since Dixey was at
the Garrick only few weeks ago.
"The Man on the Box" is somewhat
similar to the automobile play. "The
lightning Conductor, done by KEEL
cey and Shannon, at the Century,
more than year ago. The coachman
in this piece is strikingly like the
chauffeur in the other comedy.
Sylvia Lynden has taken up the
role of the fadr Elizabeth Annesley,
the girl Lieutenant Worburton
adores. Miss Lynden mas blossomed
promisingly since her last st. Louis
visit She plays the part admirably,
ON the whole. Some OF the doubling
Thomases who prefer Dixey to Sea-
brooke may say that Miss Lynden
isn't as lovely as the heroine we
knew before, though they must ad-
NIT that Miss Lynden is at all times
natural and just as piquant. Thomas
Coleman's Colonel Annesley is a
parent known only lS theatrlcals.
Sidnev Booth Is again very much
at home as the lieutenant's intimate
associate, Charles Henderson.
When Dixey suddenly left the COM
lpany in Iowa. Mr.. Booth stepped into
the title part, and he is credited with
giving a most satisfactory perform
lance.
"The Man on the Box" in a nut
Ishe,l, is brigh. farce with the
swiftness of melodrama threaded in
to its fun.
A large audience enjoyed the per-
Torrance last night.

GUILTY, VERDICT
IN STANDARD CASE
1852 Counts for Relating
Stand in Federal Court
Fine Would BE 30, 24O,-
600 IL Precedent In Criminal
Practice Were Followed.
CASES ARE NEXT

Chicago, April 15.-The Standard
Oil company was found guilty of re-
batting by jury in Federal Judge
Lands court. The jury declared the
trust was not guilty on AL counts
of the Indictment, but that it was IL
able on 1,462 counts. The maximum
fine is $4,000 on each count and the
minimum $1,000. Therefore, the
maximum gross fines may aggregate
s2s,24O,OOO.
Whether the court has any dis
erection to ignore the jury's finding
and fine on but one count is a dis
puted question. The defense does not
believe the court will inflict such an
unprecedented and enormous sum in
fines.
United States District Attorney
Sims declares the full penalty In
each will not be disproportionate.
Should Pay Maximum Fine.
He says that if common criminal
is sent to prison for thefts of an. ar
ticle worth few dollars then the i'm
position of. 2s.24O.00O in fines
against a corporation worth $780,
600, 900, a large portion Of which
wealth was amassed by collecting re-
bates, will be reasonable, ami ac-
cording to the practice Of the courts
in cases OF petty criminals.
The high-priced lawyers for the
oil company we're crestfallep over
their defeat. They express a deter
mination to carr the case to the
United States supreme court rather
than permit their clients to pay the
great fine. II single fine OF hun
dred thousand dollars is imposed
they will pay It but If the fine ex-
ceeds 100000 they will make a
desperate fight before advising pay
ment.
The Standard Oil company of Indi-
ana was indicted by the federal grand
Jury of the northern district of Illi-
nois for accepting, concessions insto-
rage charges, reductions in rates and
receiving other railroad concessions.
The amounts alleged to have been
given aggregated s275,000 within
eight months. The investigation of
the ~rand Jury also disclosed, II Is
said, that oil was shipped at reduced
rates for the Standard from Whiting
to southern points.
At Grand Junction, Tenn, IL was
shipped without rehandling, It was
averred while the product of rival
oil companies was rehandled in a
more expensive manner The investi-
cation was completed before two
grand juries representing the dlvid-
ed Jurisdiction OF the court.

The charges concerning Southern
shipments have not yet been heard.

nection are the Chicago & Eastern

BON1LLA SAFE.
Aboard American War Vessel and
Peace Is Coming.


Washington, April 15.- Senior
Corea, the Nicaraguan minister, Off
cially corroborates reports that a
peaceful settlement will shortly be
effected in Central America. He re-
ceived gratifying advices from his
government today. He was advised
that President Bonilla, of Honduras,
would be given protection while he
remained in Central America, on the
condition that he leave the country.
1t is believed here that the exiting of
Bonilla was the demand made by
President Zelaya before he would lis
ten to peaceful overtures. Command
Ter Derile, of the United cruiser Chi
cago, advised the navy department
this afternoon that Bonilla has
sought refuge on his ship and that he
would shortly leave Central Ameri-

eminent has been established in
Honduras with General Sierra in
charge, and predicts peace.
