WINS
COURTS RULING
IN REBATE CASE

CHICAGO, April IA ruling tanta-
mount to the winning Of the case by
the Standard OIL Company was returned
by Judge Lands today. The court held
that the company knew the law was
against accepting rebates. but he leaves
st to the jury to decide the intent in
accepting them. and allows the defend
ant company to present evidence on this
point.
Witnesses for the defendant company
will be summoned to testify that they
asked the employees of the railroad for
the legal rate between Whiting and
East St. Louis and were given that of
9 cents per 100 pounds. This will be the
backbone of the defense and will neces-
state an effort at rebuttal on the part
of the Government.
It is doubtful II any employe Of the
Alton will admit giving the false rate
to the Standard, as he would thus lay
himself open TO prosecution for con-
spiracy.

UnmercifuIIy by
Prosecutor.

NEW YORK, April I0.--BefOre
District Attorney jerome began his
address today to the jury which viii
decide the fate of Harry h. Thaw, it
was announced that his speech would
be finished in less than three hours.
He began at 11:40 o'clock.
Justice Fitzgerald is said to be
ready to deliver his charge as soon
as the district attorney is through,
so that the case may go to the Jury
before night.
A quick verdict is expected, 50
that ThaW's fate may be decided be-
fore tomorrow.
At I o'clock the court took a re.
cess until ? p. m.
Arrangement Most Bitter.
The address OF District Attorney
Jerome was a terrific attack on
Harry X. Thaw.
His bitter arraignment of the
prisoner embodied all the inyective
the prosecutor could muster up. Al
most ignoring Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
and belittling the tragic story she
told, he was determined to devote
most of the time allotted to him in
prejudieing the jury personally
against Thaw.
Mr.. Jerome resolved to drag out
and illuminate with his ferocious
oratory every black page in the life
of Thaw, choosing te- show the jury
the kind of man he believed him
to be, rather than discussing the
question as to Thaw's justification
for the Staying of Stanford White.
Question Of Death Penalty.
A matter which perturbed the mind:

MUST DROP
Bradstreet's Says Decline Will Have
to Extend All Along the List.
Situation Better.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Bradstreets
says today:
Good progress has been made in
accommodating the country to the
changed financial condition; this,
too, with strikingly little friction,
considering the scarcity of currency
and widespread substitution of credit
instruments for actual cash. AT the
same time wholesale and jobbing
trade has quieted down very percepti-
bly,, and the disposition in industrial
lines has been to curtail production
wherever possible, the aim being to
avoid unnecessary or possibly bur
dnesome accumulations of stocks.
There is, in fact, a rather more Opti-
mistic tone prevailing this week than
last, the outgrowth of the better feel
ing in the east, the large arrivals of
gold from Europe and the idea that
basic conditions, both as regards the
purchasing power of the people and
absence of large stocks, are better
than in some preceding years of
stress. There are, it is true, in
creasing evidences that the level of
commodity prices has been forced un-
reasonably high and the process of re-
adjustment will compel numerous re-
visions. In this respect the easing
of iron and other metal prices, the
further decline in cereals and the
sharp falling off in livestock quota
tions are taken as an earnest indica
tion of revisions in other lines yet
to come. From two sections, the
northwest and the south, complaints
are numerous that the absence of the
actual cash prevents the movement of
wheat and cotton to market; but the
country wide issuance of bank and
corporation checks in small denomi-
nations has eased the currency situa-
tion greatly, the domestic exchange
markets are much more settled, and
the general acceptance of credit in
struments is expected to allow of nee
essary business being done pending
the readjustment of the volume of
business to the supply of current capi-
tai. Collections are rather slower,
but there has been a slight easing in
the premium for actual currency at
the east, the runs on the various
financial concerns are apparently a
thing of the past. Failures are not
so important as in either of the pre-
ceding weeks and the wave of dis
trust has perceptibly subsidized, rem
dering the work of rehabilitation and
repair matter of time only.

States for the week ending November

KLINE DEAD AT GOLDFIEID
GIPPLE MAKES CONFESSION

GOLDFIELD, Nov. 9.-V. l..
Kline, the business man who
was shot and fatally wounded
while in the act of stealing am
algam at the Nevada Goldfield
Reduction works, died at the
county hospital this morning
without recovering conscious
ness.
Gipple, Kline's accomplice, is
, said to have made complete
confession to the sheriff in
, which he gave the names of the
, two men who robbed the Gard
, ner mill a week ago. He de-
, clares that neither he nor Kline
, had anything to do with that
, robbery, but his familiarity with
, the circumstances and knowl-
, edge of the identity of the rob-
, bers leads the authorities to
, doubt his previous statement
, that the attempt to rob the re-
, duction works was his first fall
, from grace. The sheriff expects
} to have the Gardner mill robbers
, behind the bars before night.

NEVADA LEAD IS BIG MINE
AWAKENING IN HAM|LT TON
New Company Seems Fixed to Earn High Returns
-.-Greater Activity in Old and Rich Producing
District Than in Forty Years.

The old camp of Hamilton, the
birthplace of the White Pine News,
located near the base of White Pine
mountain about forty-five miles west
from Ely, has been the scene of a
revival in the mining industry dur
ing the past summer which the old
time residents could hardly believe to
be true, but events of last week and
this week will surely convince and
thoroughly awaken them to a full
realization of the truth.
The event of the past week was the
incorporation of the Nevada Lead
company by prominent Ely people
for the purpose of developing their
holdings on a large scale and the
events of the present week will be
the arrival in Hamilton of eight
four-horse teams loaded with lumber
and supplies for the company, four
of which left Ely yesterday after
noon, to be followed by four more
tomorrow. There has not been a

First Week Of Clearing House Rules
Operation Brings in Much
More Than Drawn Out.

with the banks of the city at the
closing hour yesterday afternoon in
manner that occasioned from them
expressions of the very commendable
attitude the public of the district has
maintained.
At both banks it was stated yester-
day afternoon that deposits had far
exceeded in totals the amounts of
money withdrawn or asked for,
whether drawn or not. Not during
the entire time since reopening has
there been any semblance of doubt
expressed as to the entire safety of
all funds held on deposit in the
banks, nor, better still, any evidence
of question or doubt on the part of
business men or those of the money
saving members of the community,
who are much more numerous than
one might suppose, as to the desira-
bility of getting additional funds into
the vaults of the banks for safe keep

tention among local mining men nor
one with brighter prospects for the
future.
The company's property consists of

silver belt of the White Pine district
which for the last eighteen years has
been producing two-thirds of the lead
and a great part of the silver cred

from a section about three miles

more extensively developed in the
past has been due to the distance
from the railroad and the low price
paid for lead for number of years.
For some time the price has been
higher and during the recent slump
in the copper market the market for
lead has been affected very little and
