JUDGE LANDS HAS
FREE HAND IN MATTER
Maximum Amount is S19
100000 for USingIIIegaI
Railroad Rates.
[By Assoclated press.l

Chicago Ill, Aug. D. Before an.
other day perhaps the largest fine
recorded in judicial history may be
assessed by Federal Judge X. M. Ian
dis against the STANDARD Oil Company,
in the cases in which the company
was recently convicted of using ille
gal railroad rates. Judge lands has
Fixed upon tomorrow as the day upon
which he VIII pass sentence on the
company
When, under the Indictment secured
a year age, the Standard oil Company
of Indiana was found guilty of viclat-
ing the anti-rebate law, the fixing of
the fine for taat offehse devolved on
Judge Lands, and as he had a free
hand in assessing any fine betwee,,
81 900 and S22.000 on each of the 1862
counts in the Indictment, ne was CON
frrnted with a rather difficult PROPOSE
tinn. He did not know how much
punishment the compan could stand.
and this is the reason why he sum
moned John u. Rockefeller anu others
prominently connected with Stan
dard OH affairs, 80 as to learn some
Of the financial secrets of the company
whicl its counsel we're either unable
or unwilling to tell. The Judge found
I that Mr. Rockefeller knew very little
about the affairs OF the company Of
watch ne is president. and that little
he was not sure Of He dlwlged. how
ever. that the capital OF fhe Standard
oil Company of New Jersey is about
S100,0o0,000,' and that It's annual dt.
vidends now are about 40 per cent %

possible extent of the fine to be i'm
posed tomorrow The maximum fine
FOR the number of counts in the iadict-
meht is something over $4,000. .00O.
and there are today predictions from
! persons connected with the prosecu-
/ tlon that this maximum fac will be
assessed. The only excuse which a
/ idee may feel called on 10 offer in
! imposing less than the maximum in
| criminal cases such as this is bona
/ fde reason for clemency. On the
/ other hand, s1ch a huge fine as 500 =
/ O0O,o0O, IL imposed on company with
/ q capital of only 100000 900, would
look disproportionate. and would give
! the company ground on which to make
an appeal.
That in any event there viii be an
| appeal from the fine assessed by
Judge Lands is certain, and faal
decision may be delayed for several
/ years. In the meantime many other
indictments against the company for
violations of the Elkins law will be
pushed to trial Some OF these, in the
Noi thern District of Illinois, are al
most as voluminous as the one on
which the recent trial was based.
Practically the same kind of evidence
figures in all the cases.
