STANDARD OIL LOSES POINT
Judge lands OverruIes Motion to
Take Chicago Case
from Jury.

CHICAGO, April 2-Judge Lands in the
United States district court today overruled
the motion OF the Standard OH company
that the case brought against them charg-
Ing the illegal taking OF rebates be dis
missed. The dismissal Of the case was
based on the ground that the government
had failed to make out the case outlined
in the indictments The court refused 10
accept this view and ordered the trial TO
proceed.
In announcing his decision Judge Lands
said: 1T is the view Of the court that the
defendant is presumed 10 have known the
lawful rate, because it is presumed to have
known the Law forbidding the use OF any
rate that is not the published rate. Under
the law the shipper must ascertain the
rate and guide himself accordingly.
In regard to the contention of the de-
fense that the Chicago & Alton had no
right to carry freight from Whiting. Ind.
70 st. Louis, when its own tracks did not
cover the entire distance between those
points, the court ruled that the Alton rail-
road had filed with the Interstate Com
merce commission copies OF tariffs giving
through rates between the points named.

One of the very important bills passed
by the house this morning was the proposed
constitutional amendment by King of Polk
increasing the number of supreme Judges
and changing the pay OF both supreme and
district judges. The bill provides there
shall be seven supreme judges. OF these
three are to be elected at the 1909 election
and three at the 1911 election, while in
1908 there is to be a chief justice chosen
The terms OF office shall be six years and
the Judge whose term expires in 1914 shall
be chief justice until the chief justice Is
elected. In 1909 the governor. under the
bill, is 20 appoint two judges and in 1911
he is to appoint two more. The judges OF
the supreme court are TO be paid 1850 a
year and are to live where the court IL
located. Judges of the district court are
to receive $500 a year.
The house killed Senator sackett's pet
measure this afternoon when it failed to
give ffty-one votes IN favor OF the bill
to make notes given for Insurance pre-
miums non-negotiable. Considerable work
had been done for and against the bill,
and It was a close fight. though friends
of the measure were not numerous enough
TO get It through.
Another pet measure that the house
stamped the life out Of was McKesson's
bill to have the state oficers furnished
with coupons which they were to exchange
for railroad tickets when going out on state
business, These coupons were TO be given
In exchange for warrants at the auditors

check on the state officers. but it didn't
get through. He may make an effort TO

|CquefOrt Cheese

MUCHhas been said about ROQUE- FORT CHEESE but few people know important facts relative to it's manu- 3acture.
 The most excellent cheese Is made rom pure sheep's milk, the richest in 7ream and nourishment
 Chemists pronounce 1t the most aslly digestlble cheese, as 1t requires ess than two hours for perfect assin-
 ation while others require much onger
 It is manufactured in the dairies of toquefort, a small town in the south # France, high up in the mountains. After being prepared with the utmost are and cleanliness, the finished 2akss are put into caves or cellars dug into solid limestone rocks at great depth, Here. they remain for long time, air currents passing over them, and by natural process which science can not initiate, that peculiar and su- perior quality is imparted to the cheese which delights the epicure and is recognized as inimitable by judges at all exhibitions of the world. The green in the cheese Is the result of the introduction of bread which assists in the proper curing of the cheese The quality depends upon cleanliness in manufacture and proper care in the caves
