GOVERNMENT WINS FIGHT.
Right to Water Under Indian Treaty
Is Upheld.

Helena, Mont, Aug. S.-Federal
Judge c. E. Wolverton, of Oregon,
who has had under consideration for
some months the case of the govern
ment against the Conrad Investment
Company, involving the right to the
use of the waters of Birch Creek, the
middle of which marks the southern
boundary of the Blackfoot Reserva-
ton, in his opinion which was re-
ceived today, decided for the COM
plainant. The government asserted
the right to the use of the waters
among other things under a treaty
with the Indians, while the chief con-
tention of the defendant was that, he
having complied with the act of con-
gress of 1891 relating to right of
way over public land for irrigation
bitches and canals, the government
could not go back of that.
w. G. Conrad, of Helena, is the
owner of the company, which has eX-
pended large sums in reclaiming
thousands of acres of land just south
of the Blackfoot reservation. The
main canal is over 80 miles long and
there are many more miles of later
ais. 1t is not known whether the
case will be appealed or not.

STANDARD CANNOT ESCAPE.
Only Two Pretexts. and Neither One
Will Hold,

Washington, Aug 6.-Two ave-
nues of possible escape are open to
| the Standard Oil Company, but
whether one or both are taken the
government will be found strongly
intrenched, confident of repeating
the victory it scored in Judge Lam
dis court. The trust may appeal to
the Circuit Court of Appeals on
writ of error, or to the Supreme
Court of the United States on con-
stitutional grounds. One appeal will
not conflict with the other. and no
further appeal lies in either case.
The Circuit Court of Appeals has
final jurisdiction in questions of err
ror affecting the law in the case, and
so far as Judge Lands official acts
| in the construction of the law are
concerned, the Supreme Court of the
United States can only consider one
question.
Under article of the Constitu-
| tion, excessive bail shall not be re-
quired, nor excessive fines imposed,
! nor cruel and unusual punishments
inflicted" In the opinion of Off
cials of the Department of Justice,
the case can reach the Supreme
Court on the ground that the s29,-
100000 fine is excessive, because
the Standard Oil Company of In
diana, the defendant, has capital
stock of only s1,000,000 and assets
of only s10,000,000. The astute
lawyers employed by the trust may
find other constitutional questions to
raise in the Supreme Court,
The government is ready to meet
such an issue and is confident OF
victory 1t will reply that the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana is, as
Judge Lands has construed, the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, the great Standard trust, in fact.
and that the fine imposed upon the
trust must be measured by the re-
sources of the trust, and not one OF
the subsidiary, dummy branches.
BY the Department of Justice at
tention is called to the common prac-
tice in criminal courts of imposing
fines upon vagrants; when the inabll-
ity of the culprit to pay the fine is
known to the court. But such SEN
tences have never been construed as
excessive fines.

USUAL DEFICIT FOR JULY.
But U. S. Revenue From All Sources
Shows Large Increase.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE COM
parative monthly statement of the
government receipts and expendi-
lures shows that for the month of
July, 1907, the total receipts were
$55, 5,9O6,465 and the disbursements
leaving a deficit for the
month of about $11, 100000. This
deficit is explained by the fact that
at the beginning of each fiscal year
nearly all the appropriations made
by the last session of congress be-
come available and large sums are
withdrawn from the
treasury. 1t is rule, with hardly
an exception, that each July shows
deficit A year ago it was above
$163, 100000.
The receipts from customs last
month amounted to $2S, ,44S;
which is nearly s2,700,000 in excess
of July, 1906; internal revenue $22,-
$4,000, increase $73S,000. Mis-
cellaneous $4,229,712, increase $10,-
900.
The expenditures for July, 1907,
aggregate almost exactly $1,000,00O
more than for July, 1906, the re-
ductions being balanced by nearly
$4,000,000 increase account con-
of Panama canal.

Alabama viii Treat Southern Like

May Take Possession Of Road and
Operate 1t by Armed Force-Ex-
ira Session Of Legislature May Be
Called - Governor Consuits With
Legal Advisers.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. Cit Is
not unlikely that troops will be or
dered out within few days to take
possession of the line of the South
ern Railway, the cancellation OF
whose license to operate in the state
is calmly ignored by the company. A
four hours conference held here
this afternoon between Governor
Conner, Attorney-Gen. CARRIER and
prominent attorneys, including two
ex-Chief Justices of the Supreme
Court, is believed to have resulted in
a determination to make wholesale
arrests of officials of the Southern
road if that company does not re-
cede from it's present position.
A state official close to the Gov
ernor made the statement that Gov
ernor Conner was going to use every
power at his command to make the
Southern Railway obey the laws OF
Alabama.
eff the railroad carries out its
threat to stop all business inside the
state and confine itself to only in
terstate business" said this official,
then the Governor will order out
the state troops and take possession
of the railroad, which has already
placed itself in the attitude of mob,
defying the rightful authority of the
state. This action would be followed
up by an extra session of the legisla-
ture, at which a law would be enact
ed whereby the railroad would be
placed in the hands of receiver in
less than 60 days"

Tangier, Aug. S.-Upon the de-

FIRST TESTIMONY.
Hearing of Standard Oil Case Begins
September 8.

st. Louis, Aug. 1O.-The first testi-
mony in the governments suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil company and
kindred companies on the ground that
they constitute trust will be taken in
the postoffice building in New York on
September 3. Ex-Judge Franklin Fer
riss, of st. Louis, who was appointed
special examiner to hear testimony, has
issued an order for the first testimony
as above and copies were mailed today
to all the attorneys on both sides.
Frank B. Kellogg, of St. Louis, and
G. B. Morrison, of Chicago, special
counsel for the government, requested
Judge Ferriss to issue the order. Judge
Ferriss has not been informed what
witnesses will be called at the hearing.
The taking of testimony will mark
the actual beginning of the govern
ment's fight to overthrow the Standard
Oil company and the 20 or more sub
sidiary corporations allied with it. The
suit was filed in st. Louis early in the
year, and all preliminary matters have
been cleared away.

miles long where the canal very
closely parallels the o. R. & N. rail-
road. This section has been con-
sidered as threatening the safety of

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
MUST RENDER ACCOUNT
New Suit by Receiver Earl Again
Sugar Trust.

Trenton, N. j., Aug. 8.-A bill in
equity which calls upon the American
Sugar Refining company to give an ac-
counting of its business for the past
four years was fled before Chancellor
Magee today on behalf of George H.
Earl, Jr., receiver of the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining company, of Philadel-
phia. The suit, it is said, is the only
one of the kind ever filed in this coun-
try, and the step taken by the Pennsyl-
vania company may be the means of
opening an entire new field for investi-
eating trusts. The suit is separate
from that for $3O,0OO,OOO damages
which Mr.. Earl instituted against the
American Sugar Refining company, of
New York.
Mr.. Earl holds that in procuring the
controlling interest in the Pennsylvania
company in. 1908, the company became
a trustee for the concern and is respon-
sible to it for an accounting, although
the American company never operated
the opposition company's plants.

NAVY Department Learns Lesson.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Acting Sec
retary of the Navy Newberry has
acted upon the findings and recon-
mendations of the board which in
vestigated the accident on the bat
tleship Georgia on July Is last, re-
sulting in the death of ten officers
and sailors and the injury of a num-
Der of others. The report includes
all of the testimony taken by the
board.
Almost all of the findings and rec
concentrations, most of which have
heretofore been published, were ap-
proved by Mr.. Newbrry, who has or
dered them put into effect. The Navy
Department is now convinced that
the cause of the accident was beyond
question a "fareback," which it re-
CARDS as a welcome conclusion, be-
cause it is believed that such flare
backs can be dealt with safely by ad-
ditional precautions.
