ATTACK ELKINS Law
STANDARD OIL HOPES TO KNOCK
OUT STATUTE.
Attorney Declares that as Ap-
piled to Interstate Shipments
the Act Is Unconstitutional,
If Sustained 1t Would Save
Some Millions in Fines.

Chicago, May Ain the hope of null
lily ing the conviction of their client
the attorney for heStandad Oil company
have attacked the constitutionality of
the Elkins law. This was brought out
yesteday before Federal Judge K. M.
Lands during arguments on motions
ID arrest of Judgment and for a new
trial.
The gist Of this argument made by
Attorney John s. Miller, leading
counsel for the defendant company, is
that the constitution of the United
States provides that "No person shall
be deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law" that rail-
road rates are made by carriers and that
the question of the reasonableness of
these is delegated to the interstate
commerce commission, from whose
decision no appeal to the courts is pro-
vided.
Should the motion for a new trial be
denied the contention thus raised will
afford the opportunity for carrying
the case to the United States supreme
court. If the plea is sustained in
either court it will prevent the punish
ment Of the Standad Oil company in
this one case, involving fine of over
$29, 900, 600, and will affect all similar
cases against this and other corpora
lions charged with giving or accepting
rebates.

1--WE contend that this law is in
violation of a provision in the fifth
amendment of the constitution, in
that it deprives the shipper Of a right
to contract for the shipment Of freight
at just and equitable rates." said At
torney Miller at one point in his ad-
dress 81 have never been able to see
how just and equitable rate could
be one that is not enjoyed by all ship
pers alike" said the court.
"That is also my belief" responded
the Attorney, "but do not think
this law protects the shipper. It Gre
ates monopoly for the raiload, permit
ting the road to fix the rate and COM
polling the shipper to accept the same
until after he appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission and that
body had passed on it. From this
there was no appeal. The Interstate
commerce commission is not a court,
and yet conrgess has given it the
power of one in dealing with these
cases. The right of private contract,
involving personal rights and property
rights, has been sustained in many
cases. That is right existing under
the old common law, the principles
of which are recognized in recent de-
cisions of the supreme court. The
reasonableness of rate Is q judicial
question, in the last resort, and the
courts cannot be deprived Of their
jurisdiction over it.

Call It One Offense

The other point raised by the de-
Tense was that in accepting rate of
6 cents from the Alton railroad for
the shipment of oil or its products
from Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis,
when the published rate was Is cents,
the Standard company committed but
one offense and not LAO, as charged
by the government. Should this be
sustained, the greatest penalty that
could be imposed would be 500, 600.
As the amount derived by the Stand
ard during the three years it enjoyed
the secret rate was 1928, 600 such a
penalty would be Of little value in
preventing rebating. The government
in drawing up the Indictment chose
to consider the shipment of each car
a separate offense, and q fine upon this
basis would make the practice un-
profitable.
Government attorneys are today re-
plying to the arguments of the stand
ard attorneys

SOClALEVENTS OFTHEWEEK

Honolulu is looking forward with
much expectation to the coming sea-
son in the prospect of the possibility
of seeing some splendid theatrical at
fractions. w. d. Adams, the new
Of the Opera House, has been
very busy negotiating for a number OF
which if he is successful
in securing them will make the season
one of the most brilliant in the history
of the city
Among the features he hopes to Sc
cure are the Andrew Mack Company
for series of Irish plays on about
November 18th, and he is also seeking
to secure Frederick Ward and his
company in Shakespearean drama.
Another rare treat is in prospect late
in the fall in the person of Madame
Melba, the famous singer, who at
present is visiting her childhood home
in Australia, and may be able to give
a concert here on her way back to the
Continent. 1t is most sincerely to be
hoped that Mr.. Adams has success in
the matters he has in view, for musi-
cal and stage attractions of any sort
are all too rare in Honolulu owing to
its Isolation from the mainland.
