STATEMENT BY THE DEFENSE

lated in Indiana or
Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, July S.--The attorneys for
the Standard Oh Company to-day de-
clined to submit any further evidence
in the Investigation held on Saturday
by judge Lands in the United States
District Court Judge Lands then an
nounced that sentence Will be passed
on the STANDARD Oil Company Of In
diana, which was convicted OF using
illegal railroad rates on August Sd.
Judge Lands, at the opening or
court, said to-day to the attorneys for
tho company.
"Haye you anything to offer on this
case prior to tho entering of o final
orderg''
I'VE have formal statement to
make said Attorney Rosenthal. Mr.
Rosentlaal read 1t, substantially as fol-
lows.
TN ANSWER to tho court as to wheth-
er the defendant desires to offer any
evidence tending to show that the de-
fendant, or the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey. violated the Interstate
commerce. law before, and appearing
{ now for the purpose of answering this
Inquiry, and denying tho jurisdiction
of the court in the premises. and con-
tending that this entire inquiry IS
beyond tho legal power OF the court,
the defendant still Insisting that the
record in this case shows that 1t Is
innocent OF the offenses charged in the
indictment, the defendant desires to
say:
There are in the record no
suggestions that this defendant ever
before was charged With violation Of
the interstate commerce law.
"For the defendant now to assert Its
| innocence Of matters that II is not
charged with, or attempt to show that
| IL ~, M ~ uyr tr-dn in q
in connection with matters outside Of
| the record OF this case, would present
a situation unhenrd OF IN Anglo Saxon
| Jurisprudence"
The statement claimed at some length
that the court has no right to go out
side the record of the case IN cons
sdering the penalty to be meted out
HASN'T violated Law.
The statement then concludes:
| ."If the occasion shall ever arise in
| an appropriate proceeding where this
! defendant can without any waiver OF
It's legal rights subject itself to the
| question of its having heretofore vlo-
lated the interstate commerce law, 1t
will, certainly appear that since the
| passage Of the law there has been
no violation of its provisions by either
the Standard OIL Company CT New Jer-
sey or the Standard Oil Company Of

lock said that II was his opinion that
no change should be made, US these

II was decided to leave this question

mir. Dabney expressed tho opinion
that It would be better not to burden
the committee. with the consideration
of the question of reducing the size OF
the Council, He thought this would
create opposition TO the whole schema
MIR. Pollock replied that the duty OF
the subcommittee will lie >, consider
all matters pertaining to the subject
to make report iii the form of resoiu-
ton. and when that report shall be
made the full committee VIII have Il

In the course of remarks on the gem

that had been asked, the City Attorney
said:
I'VE sometimes see the idea advanced
that a city government is purely "a

Mayor Mccarthy asked If the sub

The Norfolk amended charter was
discussed to some extent by Messrs.

the Norfolk plan. but was sure that
It's weakness lay in the fact that Nor
folk asked the Legislature to do an
unconstitutional thing, and this COM
fnittee. he thought, could not be too
careful in framing the bill it propa SEES
or may propose to ask the General As
semblS to act upon.
The Pollock resolution was Wnani-
rnously adopted, and the chair named
Messrs. Pollock and Cary as the other
two members of the committee.
The chair stated that de would call
