Standard oil Company Opens Up Fight
Against Verdict.

Chicago,-The attorneys for the
Standard Oil company ON Friday filed
the company's assignment of errors in
the United States district court. They
then went before Judge Grosscup In
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals, and made application for an
appeal, writ of error, and super.
sedeas
The Standard Oil attorneys contend
ed that the supersedeas should be
granted upon bond no larger than
sufficient TO cover the costs. 1t was
claimed by the government, however,
that the bond should be fixed at $29,-
100000. the amount of the fine imposed
by Judge Lands, in order to secure
the government, pending stay OF ex-
ecution in the judgment. The assign
ment of error contained 116 citations,
which Judge Lands is said to have
erred in his decision during the trial

COMMENDED FOR HERoIsM.
Gunner's Mate Risked Life to Save His
Comrade.

Misunderstanding Secretary New
berry has formally placed on record the
navy departments hearty commenda-
tion of the self-sacrifice and bravery
exhibited by Edward Wade Whitehead,
first class gunner's mate, in fearlessly
risking his own life to save that of ii
comrade. The details of the act for
which Whitehead is commended are
set forth in the letter of Acting Secre-
tary Newberry to the commandant OF
the station at Tutuila, Samoa, from
which it appears that landslide had
destroyed the barracks at that station
and Whitehead at great risk and with
his own body had prevented Sergeant
John F. Cox from being crushed be-
meath slowly advancing avalanche of
concrete and earth until relief party
from the United States ship Adams
was able to extrjcate the men.
