DENIAL OF CONFERENCE,
Standard Oil Men Admit, However. of
 Reorganization.

New York, September 23.-Official de- nail was given today to reports that a conference of Standard Oil interests is to be held at the home of H. H. Rogers in Fairhayen, Mass. today. It is stated that MT. Rogers has not been consulted regarding Standard Oil affairs since he wa. taken i'll.
 A representative of tho Standard said today: "'The statement that a confer ence of Standard Oil interests has been cal.~d for the purpose of changing the name of the company, and effecting re- organization in general, is without foun- dation. We can do nothing in this re- spect so long as the company is under investigation.
 'I can say, however, that as soon as the Standard Oil company has been freed from the litigation now Investigating it, then there will be reorganization The capital stock will be increased to an amount more in harmony with the value of it's assets, say to s40O, 100000 or $500 0O0.- 0O0
 We also purpose to issue periodical statements of earnings. operations, etc. We propose to give representatives of the government everything in the way of information that 1t calls for, which is all we can do. If we are guilty of certain infractions of the law, then prac- tically all other corporations are guilty of the same offense and should be treated accordingly. But we are confident we will win out"

CLAIM OF IMMUNITY
 UNDER HEPBURN LAW
United States District Attorney Says the Decision is Great Victory for the Cove ernment-AlI Others
 Will Be Prosecuted.

St. Paul. Minn.. September 2s.--A special To the Dispatch from Denver says:
 The United States circuit court of appeals of the Eighth judicial circuit. sitting in Denver. Col. handed down an opinion today affirming the Judgment of the United States district court of Minneapolis last Maq declaring the Great Northern railroad guilty of giv- ing rebates. Under that judgment the Great Northern railroad was fined s15,- GOO.
 United States District Attorney Haup, when informed of the decision of the court at Denver, gave the fol- lowing statement of the Great North ern railway case and it's bearing on other cases now pending before the court at Denver:
 This case was one in which the Great Northern was indicted for giv- ing concessions to McCaull X Densmore of Minneapolis and to the W. P. Deve- raux company of Minneapolis in the shipping of oats and corn 10 Seattle for shipment to the Philippines
 "The question passed upon is of su- preme importance not alone in this case. but 1t involves the night to prose- cute any and all cases for the giving of rebates.
 "The validity of the Standard oil company fine of $29, 900 depends in large measure on this decision for it will have an almost uncontrollng in nuence In the decision of the court of n at uybS the Standard oil company appeals on exactly similar grounds If the deeis- . lon had been otherwise, if would have stopped all prosecutions in the Eighth district for rebates. concessions, etc.
 The Great Northern company and the Standard oil company in Chicago claimed that section ten of tic Hep burn law contained a provision which granted immunity for all offenses eom- mitted prior to the passage of the Hep burn law, except those cases in which indictments had been found when the law went into effect.
 Tn other words that section ten of the Hepburn law had the effect to re- peal section one of the Elxins law.
 "In this respect the decision is great victory for the government. and all other cases now pending in Minne- sota for giving rebates and the other railroad companies will be prosecuted to Il conclusion.
 There wore four indictments against the Great Northern Railway company and in this partiular indictment the road practically pleaded guilty but took the ground Chat the government had no right to prosecute under the law.
 "There are eleven indictments of this same nature in this district and all of them will be saved by this decision.
 "The Omaha road. one of the de fendants was fined $20000 and the Wisconsin Central S17,00 and both these cases have gone to the circuit courts of appeals on this same point an dother points"

SENATOR BORAH
 IS NOW ON TRIAL Big Conspiracy Case is Begun
 at Boise
THIRTEEN MEN INDICTED
Late Governor Steunenberg Was One of Defendants in Celebrated Tim Der Fraud Suits Brought by
 the Government.

Boise, Idaho, September 23-Tn begin ming the work here today of impanelling a jury to try United States Senator Will liam k. Borah. charged with conspiracy to defraud the government of valuable tim Der lands District Attorney Norman M. Ruick announced that former Governor Frank Steunenberg was one of the men indicted with Senator Borah for conspr- acy. Steunenberg is represented in the indictment as John Doe.
 The case was called today before Judge district court
 The prominence of Senator Borah in the politics of the state. his personal popu- larity in this, his home town, the lead ing part he took in the prosecution of William D. Haywood, and the fact that more than 100 well known residents of South Idaho are alleged 10 be involved with him in the so-called conspiracy, com bined to attract great interest in the pro- ceedings which marked the first of the Western Federation of Miners trial here
 The circuit court was crowded to over flowing when Judge Whitson took the bench. The government has practically taken the case out of the hands of Dis trict Attorney RuicK, against whom charges of improper conduct before the grand jury have been filed, and assigned the matter to special attorneys trained in timber land law and fresh from other successful prosecutions.
 These are II. G. Burch of Detroit and S. R. Rush of Omaha, both special as- sistants to the attorney general of the United States. Senator Borahs attor- neys include James II. Hawley senior counsel for the states in the Haywood case; Alfred A. Fraser. s. l.. Lipton and Bundy of Eau Claire, Wis. The latter also represents the interests of the Bar Der Lumber company, the corporation that Is said to have been profted by the al- legged frauds
 The indictment against Senator Borah alleges that he with twelve others named as co-defendants conspired to defraud the government of many thousands of acres of timber land in Boise county. As a re- suit of this alleged conspiracy it is al- legged that 10S residents of Boise took out timber claims and swore in doing so that they were acting solely in their own inter ests, whereas these statements are al- legged to have been false and it is alleged that agreements had been entered into.

ANGLO-RUSSIAN TREATY.
Interests of Two Countries in Asia arc
 Permanently Fixed.

St. Petersburg, September 23.-Rati- fications of the Anglo Russian conven- tion took place at the foreign office here this afternoon.
 The AngloRussian convention regu- lates the respective interests of Great Britain and Russia in Tibet, Afghan istan and Persia. Imperial Russia maintains her position in the North of Persia and Great Britain in the south. The other governments interested in Persia have been assured that the con vention does not threaten the integri- ty of the country and does not inter- fere with the vested interests of any one. For this reason, the question of the Bagdad railroad is left to future negotiations between the powers. in- cluding Germany and France
 The convention guarantees the main tenance of the present position of Tibet and Afghanistan each of the contract ing powers agreeing not to endeavor to obtain any advantages in these fields which might be to the disad- vantage of the other.
