ents. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers Of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for 5000, 10000 damages.

AN ENORMOUS fine
Standard Oil Co. is Fined
$29.24O.OOO for Ac-

Rebates.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Judge kenesaw NJ.
Lands today, in the United States dis
trict court, fined the Standard Oil COM
pany, OF Indiana, 500, 240, 600 for viola
tons OF the law against accepting rebates
from railroads. The fine is the largest
ever assessed againt any individual or
any corporation in the history OF Ameri.
can jurisprudence. The case will be
carried to the higher courts by the de-
PENDANT company.
The penalty imposed on the company
is the maximum permitted under the
law, and it was announced at tue end OF
long opinion, in which the methods
and practices OF the Standard Oil COM
pany were merclessly scored. The
Judge, in fact, declared in his opinion
that the officials OF the Standard Oil
company who were responsible for the
practices OF which the corporation was
found guilty, were no better than coun-
terleiters and thieves.

kATON SENTENCE AFFIRMED.
Judge Root Files misunderstanding
Opinion, But Majority Decides.

OLYMPIA. Aug. FL do not think tt Q
law jus,ifies sending a man to the peni-
Tertiary upon the testimony OF woman
who upon oath confesses 10 being IN.
chaste and a perjurer concerning the very
subject matter in question: is part OF
the vigorous language used by Justice
Root in his dissenting opinion filed in the
case OF the state against Lin Katon con.
victed OF assault upon Ruby Shannon,
aged IA years, at Aberdeen.
Justices Fullerton, Hadley, Mount and
Grow sign the decision which afilrms the
conviction. These judges in their ma
jority decision say that until person is
convicted Of perjury, testimony given by
that person must be accepted, but Of
course, the judge and the jury have the
right TO pass upon the credibility OF the
witness.
As the jury believed the testimony and
there is no error in the record the ma
jority of the supreme court decide the
verdict and judgment must stand. JUS
tice Root insists it is the duty OF the:high
court to reverse the case. He says in
part:
"Aside from the prosecuting witness
there ia no evidence OF defendants guilt.
This statute was not enacted for the
benefit of nor as an encouragement to
black mailers," and says such cases as
this will tend to bring good law into
disrepute.
