Matter Being Prepared for Considera-
ton Of the President as Soon
as He Returns.

1t Is said at the War Department today
that no further action will be taken re-
garding the location of the Grant monu-
ment until after President Roosevelt has
returned to this city ana had an oppor-
tunity to consider the question. Prepara-
lions have been made to submit the mat
ter to him at his earliest convenience To
that end Capt. Pole, the engineer officer
in temporary charge of public buildings
and grounds. is preparing a concise but
comprehensive statement of the facts in
the case for the benefit of the President
10 further aid in an Intelligent consid-
Grafton Of the case pasteboard models
have been prepared OF the Grant monu-
ment and of the Botanic Garden. These
models are made on the same scale of di-
mansions and are an exact reproduction
in miniature of the statue group and the
topography of the garden. They show the
space selected for the foundation of the
statue and the trees which encroach on
that space. They show also the relation
between the statue and the trees, the
greenhouses and the Bartholdi fountain,
in case the statue is located ten feet
west. as has been suggested, in order to
save the Crittenden peace tree. the Beck
elm and other fine trees occupying part
of the easteriy line of the original site.
In the latter case it is shown that the
monument would be partly covered and
screened by the overhanging branches of
the surrounding trees.
Greenhouses Involved.
1t Is agreed by both Gen. Oliver. acting
secretary of war, and Capt Poole that
the location of the Grant memorial in the
Botanic Garden would necessarily in
yolve the removal of all the greenhouses
and most If not all the trees in that
reservations and that the only alternative
to that proposition is the selection of an
other site altogether for the proposed
monument.
Acting Secretary Oliver today received
a telegram from Representative 8. w.
Mccall of Massachusetts, dated at Win
chester, Mass, protesting against the pro-
posed vandalism in the Botanic Garden
The destruction of the trees in the
Botanic Garden said Mr.. Mccall. would
be gross piece Of vandalism. The act
relating to Grants statue gave park
commission no such deadly power. You
have jurisdiction over parks of city and
l respectfully ask you to exercise 1t and
prevent the outrage"
Acting Secretary Oliver replied by wire
as follows:
Work on Grant memorial statue In
definitely suspended, affordng opportunity
for statue commission to reconsider loca-
ton"

THAT OLD FINE OF 29
Standard Oil Trying Hard to
Dodge Payment.
LONG BILL OF EXCEPTIONS
Twenty-Five Reasons Advanced
Against the Sentence.
LEGALITY OF THE ELKINs ACT
No Expense Will Be Spared in Try.
ing to Foil the Judgment Of
Judge Lands.

CHICAGO October 21.-The Inter Ocean
says today: Plans for the tremendous
effort that will be made by attorneys for
the Standard Oil Company to have the
$29, 24O. 900 fine imposed by Judge Lands
wiped out by the United States circuit
court of appeals were disclosed yesterday.
. Twenty-Five main points, each one OF
which the attorneys will argue is suff1-
Client to have the record breaking fine de-
clared void. will be advanced when the
case comes to trial in January.
The principal arguments will be:
First-That the government attorneys
failed to inform the defense of the Alton
immunity agreement.
Second-That the Elkins act, under
which the conviction was secured. was
unconstitutional.
Third-That as the Hepburn act was
passed before indictments were returned
prosecution under the provisions of the
Elkins law were Illegal.
Fourth-That Judge Lands did not COM
pute the number of violations correctly
Fifth-That certain evidence should not
have been admitted
Sixth-That the Standard Oil Company
accepted the rates in question with the
understanding that they were authorized
rates.
Notice to Sims.
A copy of the bill has been given to
United States District Attorney Sims, and
Special Assistant District Attorneys Will
kins and Parkin will this week begin the
study Of the document and make their
preparations to answer the arguments ad-
vanced. The bill will! not be filed in the
court Of appeals. however. before De-
cember /.
Included in the bill as given to Mr.
Sims is a copy of Attorney General
Bonaparte's letter to the district attorney.
which was read in Judge Landis' court at
the time the immunity matter was nnaIly
disposed OF. This states that the agree
ment was made previous to the beginning
of the trial. The attorneys argue that If
they had been informed of the agreement
under which Alton officials took the wit
ness stand they would have questioned
them differently.
In attacking the constitutiona,ity Of the
Elkins act and In contending that the
passage of the Hepburn law made 1t I'M
lawful to prosecute for violations OF the
repealed Elkins measure, the Standard
attorneys hope, in the event Of a favor
able decision, to furnish basis for free
ing the company from numerous other
suits pending.
Number Of Convictions.
1t will be commended that Judge Lands
failed to compute the number OF violations
correctly. Instead Of each shipment con-
shutting a violation. the defense will
claim that either the number of settle
ments between the company and the rail-
road. or else the number of times the
rate was granted, should be the only
things considered.
In the one case the number of violations
would be about 800 while in the other 1t
would be reduced to only three. Convic-
lions was secured in 1, 482 violations.
Other arguments that may be advanced
are mainly those introduced at the first
trial

EXPRESSES QUALIFICATION
MR. ROOT DISCUSSES RESULTS
OF HAGUE CONFERENCE.
Much More Was Accomplished, he
Says, Than He Had Any Rea-
son to Expect.

The second Hague conference accom-
plished more than l had any reason TO
expect I am well satisfied with the re-
suit of its work." said Secretary Root at
the State Department today when he was
asked for an expression Of opinion as to
the work of the conference. The Secre-
tary was disposed to attach especial I'M
portance to the agreement reached rela-
tive to a permanent international court.
1t is true that the details still remain to
be filled in, such as the provision OF some
means of selecting the members of that
august tribunal. but the Secretary thought
the agreement upon principle was a
greater achievement. and marked a DIS
tinct advance in public opinion. The diff
ficulty in the selection Of the judges lay
in the fact that aside from the United
States and perhaps England there was q
common belief that these judges were to
be political Instruments: there was no
conception of the complete separation OF
the judiciary from the political depart
ment OF the government.
Collecting Contractual Debts.
In the agreement to refrain from tho
forcible collection of contractual debts ex-
cept in the event of the refusal Of arbi-
tration. It is believed a great victory had
been won, for it would be found upon in
spection of the convention covering that
point that the nations had really agreed
to the compulsory arbitration Of all dis
putes growing out Of contractual claims
A most important point Of that agree
ment was found in the provision author.z-
Ing the arbftrators in such cases to con-
slider the time and manner of payment OF
an award. That In effect, il Is held gave
the force of international law to such
arrangements as that under which the
foreign debt of Santo Domingo Is being
collected through a term of years ard by
the segregation of percentage of the
customs receipts adjusted to the means Of
the country.
Pleased with all the work Of the Ameri-
can delegates to the conference. Secretary
Root was especially complimentary In the
case of DR.. Scott, the solicitor OF the
State Department, who, he said had
shown remarkable energy. ability and tact
In pressing American propositions upon
the conference.

The decrease of 1900 in the number of

roll at that date was 14O.S5O, $50. This
is greater by s4.s13131 than the roll
for the year previous. and it is ac-
counted for by the higher rates of pen
