SPOKANE RATE
CASE HEARING

The hearing by the interstate COM
MERGE commission at Portland is await
ed with keen interest. 1t is realized
that this is the first fundamental issue
raised by the new rate law, going to
the real question as to rates rather than
as to discrimination. 1t is claimed that
a decision favorable to Spokane would
compel a radical alteration of the sys-
tenn of jobbing and haulage from Chi
cago westward. The decision in the
Denver case that railroads can not lie.
gally charge an Improbable rate for
transcontinental freight, is taken as
promising concession to Spok ane, or
at least that the roads must give her
tho same rates as charged through to
the coast ports.
Spokane and her jobbing territory
are paying annually to the transconti.
mental railroads serving them over 3d..
600, 900 more than the same service
would cost if these goods were deliver.
ed at Portland or Puget Sound points.
This startling evidence is compiled
from the testimony of the railroads fl.
ed with the interstate commerce com.
mission at the hearing of the Spokane
rate case before Commissioner G. A.
Prouty, at Portland, Ore.

FOUND
GUILTY
STANDARD OIL SAID TO
HAVE TAKEN REBATE.
ARE LIABLE TO FINE OF NEARLY
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS
IN FINES.

The Standard Oil company of In
diana, which has been on trial for the
last six weeks before Judge K. M
Lands in the United States district
court on a charge Of having received
rebates from the Chicago & Alton on
shipments from Whiting, Ind, to East
St. Louis, ILL.,, was found guilty on
1853 counts Of the original 1908 in the
Indictment. The remaining 440 counts
were dropped from the indictment on
account of errors. If the verdict is
sustained the oil company is liable to
fine of $29,260,000, as the Elkins
law, which the indictment charged the
company with having violated, pro
vides a fine of $1,000 to $4,000 fol
each offense. Pending a motion fol
a new trial. which John s. Miller
counsel for the defendant, announced
would be made Immediately, no &C
ton will be taken by the court to
ward collecting the fine.
The indictments charged that in the
shipment of 1903 cars of oil over the
Chicago Terminal Transfer and the
Chicago and Alton railways from Whit
ing, Ind, to East st. Louis, ILL.,, by
way of Chappell, ILL.,, the oil company
accepted rate of cents for 10(
pounds, when the published rate was
Is cents. Early in the trial attorneys
for the defense endeavored to have al
the counts in the indictments thrown
out on technicalities, but the court or
dered that each count be considered
separately, which was done.
The jury was out less than three
hours and reached the verdict on the
first ballot.
The courts charge left the jury g
discretion as to how many of the
counts it might find the company tc
have been guilty. A motion by it's at
torneys to limit the number of offenses
to one will be argued next week by
agreement. The company's lawyers
contend that but one crime, if any, was
committed, and the multiplicity OF
counts amounts to persecution. They
declare the corporation will be ruined
if the prosecution procures any such
Interpretation of the law. Judge Ian
dis agreed to permit the jury to find
a verdict this week so that it's vigil
of six tiresome weeks might end. He
will rule as to the number of offenses
next week.
If he limits the offenses to but one
crime there can be no greater fine
than $4,000 and possibly the defend
ant might escape with fine of $1,000
The ruling will be most important
in federal jurisdiction. 1t will deter
mine whether or not the federal laws
against railroad discrimination are en-
forceable.
