WILL DISCUSS ARMAMENTs.
Great Britain to Breach Subject at
Peace Conference.

London. April 1.-THE delegates
who will represent Great Britain at
The hague peace conference have
been selected and their names will
be announced in a few days. The
British delegates will be instructed
to bring up the question of the re-
duction of expenditure on ornaments,
and will breach the subject immedi
ately after the opening address, in
which the chief Russian delegate will
explain the Russian program, if the
subject is not included in that pro-
gram. Great Britain is taking this
step not because of belief that the
powers will agree to reduce British
ornaments, but because it believes
the discussion will have a good moral
effect among the peoples of various
countries. The British government
therefore does not understand why
Germany should dissent from the
proposal to bring up the question, as
to nullify it German delegates would
simply have TO vote against 1t.

FOR ACCEPTING REBATES
Trust Efforts to Escape on Excuse of
Ignorance Fail, Judge Lands Sides
With Government and Jury Finds
Mother of Trusts Guilty on 1853
Counts.

Chicago, April 15-The Standard
Oil company of Indiana, which has
been on trial for six weeks before
Judge lands in the United States
district court on charge of having
received rebates from the Alton rail-
road on shipments of oil from Whit
ing, Indiana, to East ST Louis, ILL.,,
was found guilty Saturday night on
1,463 counts out of the original 1903
in the indictment The remaining 440
counts were dropped from the indict-
ment on account of errors. If the
verdict is sustained the oil company
lis liable to a fine of $29,260,O00, as
the Elkins law, under which the COM
pany was indicted provides for fine
|of $1,000 to $4,000 for each cffense.
Pending motion for a new trial,
which the defendant announced would
be made Immediately, no action will
be taken by the court towards col
lecting the fine. The indictment
charged the shipment of 1903 cars of
oil over the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer and Alton railway from Whiting,
Indiana, to East ST. Louis, ILL.,, via
Chappell, ILL., The charge was that the
oil company accepted a rate of six
cents for 100 pounds when the legal
rate was IS.
When the case first came to trial
the attorneys for the defense endeav-
ored to have all the counts thrown
out on technicalities, but the court
ordered that each count be taken up
and considered separately, which was
done, and counts in which errors were
found were dropped. The defense
then put all of it's efforts toward prov
| ing it was unaware of the fact that
the special rate" had not been filed
with the interstate commerce com.
mission as provided by the Elkins
law. Evidence was offered by the
government showing that it was the
duty of the companys officials to see
that the reduced rate was in the
hands of the commerce commission
Judge Lands in his charge to the
jury sustained this point.
In regard to the assertion by the
defense that the Standard Oil com
pany did not known of the existence
of the the tariff on which the indict
ment was based Judge Lands said
the evidence submitted by the gov
eminent went to show that there was
a department in the Standard Oil
company which dealt with oil in lots
of less than one car load and that 1t
would have been absolutely necessary
for the head of this department to be
familiar with the tariff in question.

hours and reached verdict on the
first ballot

Good for Missouri w. d. Vandiver,
superintendent of the insurance de-
partment of that state, is preparing to
enforce the new insurance laws and
some of the insurance companies are
preparing to make contest. The law
which prohibits domestic insurance
companies from paying higher sal
airy than $4,000 and foreign compan-
les doing business in Missouri. from
paying more than $4,000. which law
takes effect June 16. will be most
vigorously fought by the foreign COM
panies. The Equitable, Prudential
and Metropolitan pay higher salaries
than the new law will permit and
these three companies are preparing
to fight Happily they will have to
confine their litigation to the state
courts because of another law just
Ienacted which prohibits them from
going to the federal courts without
the consent of the other party to the
suit. The law limiting salaries is one
to which enthusiastic approval may
be given and it is not too late yet
for the Wisconsin legislature to fol-
low the excellent example set by Mis-
souri,. If there exists anywhere a
greater fraud upon the members of a
mutual organization than the arroga-
ton to himself of $4,000 or $780,
600 salary by the head of life insur-
ance company it does not now come 20
mind 1t is quite right that law
makers should lay a heavy hand upon
wrongs of this sort Missouri shows
the way.
