OF Resorting to Sensational Methods.
CHICAGO. July s.-with q ve lied accusa-
ton that Judge X. NJ. Lands had resorted
to sensational methods in getting at the
facts in the case against the Standard Oil
Company. attorneys for the convicted
corporation. challenged the authority Of the
Court to-day and refused to divulge any
additional data.
Without commenting on the attitude
Of counsel Judge lands announced that
the fine (which may under the law amount
to as much as t2s. 900 ,0oo) would be inn
posed August 3.
Attorney Moritz Rosenthal, for the STAN
dard, in a formal written statement denied
the power Of the court to secure the desired
facts, and refused to show any evidence
that the Standard had never before violated
the Interstate Commerce law. He re-
ferred to the courts investigations az a
situation unheard Of in Anglo-Saxon
Jurisprudence"
II: Z. FELTON,. president Of the Union
rank Line, who had told the Cour Satur-
day that he would look up cerain tariffs
relating to the three-fourths Of a q cent
rental Of tank cars to the railroads. ex-
planned that he was unable to find them
and that they a not been filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission as he
thought. The reason, he said. was that
the rate was known to Western railroad
men as a rental and not a tariff.

Oil Company Of New Jersey and the Union

TO PROTECT
RIVER BANK.
Willows Are Planted and Fenced

Street.

To protect the river bank from fur
Their damage from the high waters,
willows have been planted along the
bank and fenced in on West Wall street.
The past winter the banks have suf-
fered severe damage from the high
waters, and it was found expedient to
do something to check the inroads being
made on the embankment.
The fencing in of the willows was
deemed necessary by the city council
to protect the paintings from the cows.
The fence was erected at a cost to the
city of ninety odd dollars. Councilman
Barry disagreed with the other coun-
cilmen in the matter of building the
fence, expressing it as his belief that a
COW law would have been better and
more economic way of protecting the
willows.
