WASHINGTON, Jan. i1.-Through a
letter received 10y the President from
II. r. Fuller, secretary OF a joint COM
mittee Of railroad engineers. firemen
and trainmen. President Roosevelt Is
requested. II he has not already done
so. to invite the attention OF Congress
to certain subjects Of legislation in
which the employees are interested. and
on some OF which they have long sought
favorable action These are set out as
follows.
First Anti-iniunction legislation.
We sim favor the enactment Of a law
which viii prohibit the Issuance OF in
functions IN labor disputes, except after
hearing.
Second Employers liability. We
feel that there Is great need for some
legislation on this subject. We realize
the difficulties. 20 not the imposibility,
of eliminating the doctrine Of contrlbu-
tory negligence and while our repre-
sentatiyes win seek to have reintro-

thereto as may APPEAR to be necessary

DISPENSARY WANTED
AT NORTH AUGUSTA.
Georgia People Talk About Effect OF
The Prohibition aLaE-Ehea Eo1E1<s
Opposed to It.
The State.

The State.
The action of the legislature OF
Georgia, establishing prohibition in
that state on January l, 1908, has
resulted in movement to place a dis
pensary at North Augusta, in Aiken
county, just few miles from Angus
ia. At present there are dispensarles
in Aiken, although an effort has been
made to have them voted out and a
petition is now in circulation by the
prohibitionists who claim that the
rolls are badly in need of revision. The
Augusta Herald, in speaking Of the
idea, says:
"It was rumored last night at po-
lice headquarters that Arrangements
had been made to open up dispen-
sary in North Augusta at an early
date.
"Authentic information could not
be secured, but Mr.. L. ]. Williams, a
citizen Of the village, and the ex-
chairman of the old state dispensary
board, stated that he was Of the opln-
ion that the rumor was without foun-
dation. The subject is discussed at
nearly every corner, and from what
information could be secured yester-
day, it appears that the installation
Of a dispensary will cause the most
serious discord and antagonism the
town has ever experienced. Those
who are acquainted with the trials OF
the new county and the incorporation
state that these two old fights would
pale into insignifcance when compar-
ed with the present question.
"While it is not at all impossible
for an institution Of this kind to be
inaugurated. it seems to be clearly
evident that the majority of citizens
are decidedly opposed to the dispen-
sary. Mr.. c. L. Jones. who express
ed his aversion to the movement. stat
ed. that he for his personal gratlfea-
ton had thoroughly looked into the
subject and had found that the peo
pie at large would have absolutely
nothing to do with the establishing or
non-establishing of the dispensary.
He said that under the bill passed at
the last session of the state legisla-
ture, the advisability Of placing dis
pensaries was left entirely in the
hands of the county board Of control.
From his statement it appears obvious
that if the board be prevailed upon
to open an institution of this kind. it
will be DONE"

seized George Keshner, Russian
bookbinder, by the throat. The ex-

men, who fought with each other to
get a chance at the Russian. Thirty
policemen rescued Keshner, bleeding
from a score of wounds, and when all
his clothing but his shoes had been

the prisoner in blanket and spirited
him away. Sadie's sister corrobrated

reserves beat them back and took Sa-

taken by the mob for the girls as

The Judge shook his manuscript as
he spoke and Mr.. Starr sat down.
Spectators Laughed Loudly.
During the reading Of the opinion,
when the court said something es-
pecially stinging against the company
or it's methods, the spectators would
laugh loudly and the bailifs were
compelled repeatedly to rap for or

The court had not proceeded tar
in his opinion when he was interrupt

Of the court. Leaning over the rail-

Loud hand-clapping broke out when
the court said:
"When, after all the circumstan-
ces of the trial have been brought out
and the defendant persistently main
tains that the constitution Of the Uni
ted States guarantees to it the right
to make private contract for a rail-
road rate, this court is obliged to con-
fess that he is unable to indulge IN
the presumption that in this case the
defendant was convicted Of its vir-
gin offense."
When the reading had been con-
cluded, Judge Lands turned to At
torney Starr and declared that he was
ready to hear what he had to say.
No Promise of Delay.
Mr.. Starr said that it had been
promised that there would be a de-
Law in the execution Of judgement,
but the court denied this positively.
After some debate between the court
and the attorneys for the government
and the company, it was agreed that
the attorneys for the defense should

bill of exceptions.
"The court is as anxious to have
this case taken to the court Of appeals
as ANYBODY" said Judge Lands,
"and I am willing that sufficient time

court through the regular channels.

It is expected that the case will be

United States court Of appeals.
Under the seven indictments still
pending against the Standard Oil
company, an additional fine amount

counts and the maximum fine in each
count would be $4,000.

STANDARD OIL FINED
TWENlY-NINE MILLIONS
MAXIMUM PENALTY FOR AC-
CEPTING REBATES.
Declares Officials Who Are Responsi-
BILE for Practices of the Corpora
ton are No Better Than
Thieves and Counter
feiters.


M. Lands, today in the United States
district court fined the Standard Oil
company of Indiana $29, 100000 fo1
violations Of the law against accept
ing rebates from railroads. The fine
is the largest ever assessed against
any individuals or any corporation IN
the history of the American criminal
Jurisprudence, and is slightly more
than 131 times as great as the amount
received by the company through its
rebating operations. The case will be
carried to the higher courts by the
defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the com
pany is the maximum permitted un-
der the law, and it was announced at
the end Of a long opinion in which the
methods and practices Of the stand
I'd Oil company were mercilessly
Eorei. The judge, in fact, declared
his opinion that the officials OF the
standard Oil company who were res
ponsible for the practices OF which
the corporation was found guilty,
were no better than counterfelters
and thieves, his exact language being :
"We may as we'll look at this sit
uation squarely. The men who thus
deliberately violated this law, wound
ed society more deeply than he who
counterfeits the coins or steals letters
from the mall
Reviewed the Facts.
:Judoe Lands commenced reading
his decision at 10 O'Clock and occu-
pied about one hour in its delivery.
He reviewed the facts in the case,
took up the arguments Of the attor-
news for the defense and answered
them, and then passed Judgment up
on the company, which he declared
violated the law for the sole purpose
Of swelling it's dividends. The court
held that the railroads have no more
right to make a secret rate Tor a
shipper than board Of assessors
would have to make a secret assess
ment of any particular piece OF pro-
perty.
The court expressed regret that the
law failed to provids more serious
ounishment than a fine, but insisted
that the penalty should be sufficiently
large to act as deterrent and i; not !, OF
such a size as to encourage the de-
Pendants to persist in lawlessness.
At the conclusion Of his opinion ana
after announcing the amount OF the
fine Judge Lands directed that a
special grand jury be called for the
purpose of inquiring into the acts OF
