In an opinion by the circuit court
Of appeals sitting in Denver the
judgment of the district court of Min

railroad in the rebate cases was prac
tically afhrmed. The circuit court
holds that the Hepburn act is an

produces portions of the Elkins act 1t
continues them In force and makes
no break in the law and that insofar
AZ it omits or changes provisions Of
the Elkins act it repeats them. =
The act Of granting rebates was ad-
mitted by the Great Northern at the
trial and the only question presented
by the defendant was whether or not
the Elkins act of 1903 making it an Of
tense and fixing punishment for grant
ing rebates was repealed by the Hep.

thereafter there could be no prcsecu-

Oct. s. Service was had on Northern
Pacific ofncials later by the sheriff. iii
. The entire proceeding before Judge
Bum and in the clerks Office did not
take quarter of an hour and yet the
proceedings are of greater importance
to the people Of Minnesota than any
action in court which has been insti,
tuted in recent years. It is proposed
to test one of the fundamental rights
OF the state in the supreme court Of
the Upitea States without the delay
and expenses which would attend the
usual course Of procedure by appeal
from Judge Lochren's decision of last

Mr.. Young, in explaining his unus.

events had so shaped themselves as
to compel him to place himself in
position Of at least technical CONTEMPT
of a federal court. But, he added,
there was no other way to protect the

case, lac proceeding was necessary.

Judge Lands Finally Accepts
the Immunity Plea.
MoFFE11 MUST MAKE GOOD
President Of Indiana OIL Company
Given 4 Chance to Prove Charge
Of Relating by Others.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-lt was decided
by Judge Lands in the United States
district court that the Chicago and
Alton railway shall not be further
prosecuted for it's connection with
the Standard Oil company in the
granting OF rebates between Whiting,
Ind, and East st. Louis, Ill.
1t was claimed by Attorney General
Bonaparte, whose letter was read to
the court by District Attorney Sims,
that Mr.. Morrison, the predecessor of
Mr.. Sims in Office, had promised i'm
munity to the Alton road provided it
assisted in good faith in the prosecu-
ton OF the Standard Oil company.
The attorney general therefore
claimed that it was the duty of the
government to see that no further
steps toward the punishment of the
railroad for it's part In the granting
q the rebates be taken. The attorney
GENERAL asked that the grand jury
which had been summoned at the in
stance of Judge Lands to investigate
the Alton railroad be discharged and
that the matter be allowed to drop as
far as the Chicago and Alton was
concerned. =
Judge Lands, in . statement which
required fully thirty minutes for it's
delivery, declined to discharge the
Jury. but instructed its members that
they had NO further duty to perform
IN connection with the Chicago and
Alton railroad. The court then called
attention: to a statement recently is
sled by President Moffett OF the
STANDARD Oil company Of Indians in
which it Was claimed that II the
Standard Gil company was guilty Of
receiving relates no other manufac-
tu1er was innocent. The court direct
ed the jury to investigate the conduct
OF other manufacturers and directed
that subpoena be issued for Pres
ldent Moffett.
