ATTACK OIL INDICTMENTS
ATTORNEYS FOR STANDARD RE.
SORT TO TECANICALITiES.
DAY DEVOTED TO ARGUMENTS
Government Gains a Point In Suit
Against OIL Trust on Charge OF Re
eeiving Secret and illegal Rebates
From Chicago and Alton Railroad.

Chicago, March lit is evident
that the attorneys for the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, now on trial
In the federal court on indictments for
alleged violation of the Elkins act,
are determined to make strong fignt
against the indictments proper. The
day In court was marked by contin.
ued succession of extended arguments
in which the Standard Oil attorneys
contended that the government must
prove facts alleged in the indictments
or abandon its case.
The principal point upon which their
attacks conferred was the allegation
made in the indictments that the FL.
kins law was violated by shipments of
oil made from Whiting, Ind, to st.
Louis over the Chicago and Alton II
was asserted by the defense that the
law could not have been violated in
this manner as the Chicago and AL
ton road does not extend to st. Louis,
but terminates on the opposite side
OF the river at East st. Louis. ILL.,
TheJ assert that the tariff sheets pub
lished by the Alton road did not con
tain Joint through rate to st. Louis
saying that the rate between East ST
Louis and st. Louis was that of the
Virgins Ferry company. They object
ed on this ground to the introduction
as evidence of the Alton tariff sheets
Judge Lands ruled, however, that
the ferry company's tariff sheets
might be admitted as evidence, as
they had been filed with the interstate
commerce commission by the Chicago
and Alton railroad.

HARTMAN MAY HAVE READING
Rumor That He Has Secured Control
Sends Stocks Higher.

New York, March 7.-Seldom, if
ever, was seen such varied and violent
fluctuations in prices of securities as
those which characterized the days
stock market. The movement was
without definite news to explain it.,
but the volume and the aggressiveness
Of the operations were sufficient to
stamp them as coming from sources
OF Importance. Wall street parlance
has found phrase, rich mems
panic" to define the condition. This
is based on the supposition that men
of great wealth, who accumulated
large holdings of stocks last year,
found themselves without prospect OF
selling out to advantage on the pres.
ent public dstaste for the stock mar.
ket. 1t is believed they have been
prompted. as WELL by the urgency OF
other calls upon them, due to the uni.
Versal pressure for capital and by
fears of being overtaken by a period
of industrial depression, to liquidate
their holdings as best they may. Into
this condition of sentiment was pre-.
cipitated report that carried with II
an inference that the supposedly dis.
tressed capitalists were, in reality,
taking advantage of the unsettlement
OF values to carry out another daring
exploit. The rumor alleged that Ger.
tain large centralized holdings OF
Reading had been taken over by Mr.
Hartman. securing his control of the
property. The Reading incident
turned prices decisively upwards. The
last prices were generally the best OF
the day and an active buying move
ment was in force.

ELIOT OPPOSES FOOTBALL
President Of Harvard Sees No Reason
to Encourage Strenuous Games.

Boston, March president Eliot
of Harvard university, in his annual
report, which will be presented to the
board Of overseers this week, main.
tains that football, despite new rules.
remains an undesirable game for gen.
tlemen to play or multitudes of people
to witness. President Eliot declares
that football is properly described by
the adjective fierce" and that no
game in which there is recklessness
in causing or receiving bodily injuries
is fit for college use. Basket ball
and hockey are placed in the same
class as football, and President Eliot
advises that intercollegiate contests
in any one sport be limited to two
games, or other games to be between
teams made up at Harvard. He also
decries the "eXcesses of cheering"
which characterize. present intercol.
legiate contests as absolutely un.
natural"

GRANyS FAREWELL INTERVIEW
Hartman Says IL Railroads Are Not
Let Alone Hard Times Will Come.


Washington, March 7.-E. H. Harri.
man granted a farewell interview to
fifteen newspaper men, announcing
that he would return to New York to.
day and stop talking for publication.
Mr., Hartman discussed transporta-
ton problems, railroad legislation, the
tariff, the currency question, the atti-
tude of the public toward the railroad
corporations and the probability or
panic in the future. He refused to an.
swer the direct question as to whether
he had secured control of the Read
ing.
AS to the currency and the tariff.
Mr. Hartman said: 81 think the cur.
rency and tariff questions should be
settled in more definite way before
congress and the present administra-
ton devote so much precious time to
regulating the railroads The inter-
ests of the country demand that there
should be some modification of the tar
if, but since we have no Mckinley or
legislation is not very encouraging.
The United States will not always en-
Joy the prosperity that has prevailed
during the last decade Hard times
certainly will come again unless con-
gress and the people generally change
their tactics towards railroads and
corporate interests"
