STANDARD OIL Is TO
BE FINED ON AUGUST 8

Chicago, July 10.--Attorneys forl
Standard Oil today declined to submitl
amy further evidence in the investisa-l
'tion begun Saturday by Judge Landis-i
Lands then announced the sentence
will be passed on the Standard OIL OF
Indian which was convicted OF using
illegal railroad rates, August 3.
Judge Lands asked the attorneysl
for the company:
Have you anything to offer prior
Ito the entering OF Anal order?"
Statement for the Company.
"we have a formal statement to-
make" said Attorney Rosenthal. II
Twill read It."
| The statement in substance was asl
follows: .. ~
"In answer to the court as to-
whether the defendant desires to offer.
any evidence tending to show that the
defendant, or the Standard OIL Conn
lpany of New Jersey, never violated the,
Interstate commerce law before, and
denying the Jurisdiction of the court
I'm the premises, and contending that
this entire inquiry is beyond the legal
power of the court, the defendant still
Insisting that the record shows It Isl
innocent OF the offenses charged in the
indictment, the defendant desires toI
say this: n... ..a
There are in the record no sug-S
gestions that this defendant ever be-
fore was charged with violation OF the
Interstate commerce law.
1 For this defendant now to assert itsi
innocence Of matters that It is not
charged with or attempt to show that
vt has been innocent of wrongdoing In
connection with matters outside of the
record Of this case would present sit
uation unheard of In Anglo-Saxon jur-
lisprudence."
The statement asserted at some
length that the court had no right to-
go outside the record in this case in
considering the penalty.
( Always obeys the Laws.
The statement then concluded:
"If the occasion shall ever arise I'm an
appropriate proceeding where this de-
fendant can, without any waiver of its
legal rights, subject itself to the Ques-i
tion Of its having heretofore violated
the interstate commerce law 1t viii cer-

Judge Lands listened with much in-i

said abruptly:

81 CALL u ~ CONSERVATIVE
81 .ss ElflAfaclERs.

Washington, Nov. SIT was learneA
here Saturday from 5undoubted sources
that President Roosevelt is being urg.-
ed to call an extra session Of congress;
to deal with the financial situation.
The request comes from conserva..
tive leaders in the financial world.
The president has been assured.
from most. reliable sources that there
will be no opposition on the part Of the.
great industries Of the country to the.
enactment of laws necessary to carry
out his ideas Of federal control.
These assurances are made at this
time to avert what has been repre-
sented as the most dangerous situation
which has confronted the country dur
ing an extended period-that is, the.
seeming growing lack Of confidence.
based on known Irregularities in busi--
ness methods in some quarters and no,
sure and speedy means of separating.
the good from the unsound.
Put Congress to Work.
To this end it is suggested that the.
president set congress to the task:
First, of making such amendments.
to the financial laws as will result in
the maximum of flexibility with the.
minimum of basic change in our sys-,
TEN.
Next, and perhaps the most in i'm.
portance, that the president embody-
his suggestions on corporation control
into sufficient recommendations for en-
actment into law.
That the president has given the re-,
quest for an extra session careful
consideration is indicated by those
who have been asked to lend their ad-
vice in the matter

SHOT DOWN WHILE GATHERING
COAL LAND FRAUD EVIDENCE
IN COLORADO.
MINER DOES THE SHOOTING
COMPANIES STATEMENT is THAT
MINER FIRED SIMPLY IN SELF.
DEFENSE.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 5.-Joseph Walk
or, a United States secret service man,
was shot and instantly killed yester-
day by an employee of the Hesperus
mine, located several miles west of
Durango, Colo. The shooting occurred
at the mouth Of the air shaft of the
mine, and is said to have been done
In self-defense. The mine is owned
by the Porter Fuel company. G. G..
Dorsey, attorney for the company was
notified of the killing last night. Ac-
cording to his report of the affair, gov
eminent agents have been in the Du-
range country for several days gather
ing evidence to be used in prosecuting
persons indicted for fraudulent entries
on coal lands. This being Sunday, no
work was in progress in the mine,
and several of the miners were stroll
ing over the company property. On
approaching the air shaft, isolated
from the rest of the workings, man
at the mouth of the shaft ordered them
to halt.
Thought Is Was Joke.
The miners thought he was Joking
and did not obey, whereupon, accord
ing to Dorsey's story, the man fired,
the bullet passing close to the head of
one of the miners.
The latter whipped out a revolver
and returned the fire, killing the man
instantly. Investigation developed
that he was Joseph Walker.
Further investigation showed that a
rope ladder had been let down into
the mine and this was hauled to the
surface. Some time afterward three
men, all government agents, appeared
at the mine entrance, being unable to
make exit any other way. Dorsey says
there was no reason for the secret
service men entering the Hesperus
mine, as the title to this property is
not questioned and their act was sim
ply trespass.

Hostile Collision in South Dakota I'm.
minent, Says Capt. johnson.
Washington, Nov. 3-Danger of a
hostile collision at any time because
of serious breach between the Ute
Indians at Thunder Butte station, S.
D., and their agent, Maj. Downs, was
reported yesterday by Capt Carter p.
Johnson, the army officer who was
sent to the scene of trouble in the
effort to placate the Indians, who have
unlimited confidence in him.
According to Capt. Johnson, the In
dian agent and himself are at cross
purposes, and his report appeals to the
authorities here to support him and
cause Maj. Downs to abate harsh treat.
ment of the Indians.
Rations Cut In Half.
The report says that the Indians oh.
jected to sending their children to a
distant boarding school, the refusal be-
ing on the ground that Capt. Johnson
had told them the children would be
sent to school at the agency station.
It adds that the agent has cut the ra.
lions in half; that the Indians are sin
cere in their statement and wish to
live in peace; that Agent Downs re-
fused to consider the Indians promise
to comply with his orders and de-
mands, and the reports adds that the
application of harsh and severe rem
edies" is not the best policy.
Capt. Johnson says that the Utes
are very hungry, their. women and chill.
dren are suffering and they believe
they have been unjustly treated.

SHIPMENT.
BANK RUNS ARE sUBs|DING
coRrELYoU MAY TAKE FURTHER
RELIEF MEASURES - BANK
NOTES INCREASE.

NEW YOrk, NOV. s. - Inc nna0Clal
situation was gradually clearing yes
terday, without showing any striking
features. Runs on the banks and trust
companies are practically over. Mon
ey which was temporarily withdrawn
from banks subject to runs is flowing
into the stronger banks, and currency
is being provided in most cases where
the demand for it is considered lesiti-
mate. y
Further engagements Of gold by Bos-
ton and other points have brought up
the total engagements abroad under
the recent movement to $26,550, 900.
The Lusitania,' which sailed from Liv-
erpool yesterday, has on board about
$10,000,000 in gold, one of the largest
single shipments ever made.
Prices on Exchange Firm.
Prices on the exchange were firm
during the early part of the day, and
did not yield seriously at any time.
The fact that the stock exchanges of
London and Paris were closed on ac-
count of All Saints day prevented any
comparison of quotations.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to normal condi-
tons, but there is still something of a
blockade in domestic exchange
through the unwillingness of New
York banks to pay currency on drafts
from other cities and the unwilling
ness of other cities to pay out their
currency upon drafts from New York.
The condition of affairs indicates a
continued pressure for currency rather
than a breakdown of credits, but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers of the banks.
Hasten Export Movement.
The possibility of fastening the ex-
port movement of wheat and cotton
still engages the attention of foreign
exchange dealers and also of those
who endeavor to keep in touch with
the general situation. Doubt is ex-
pressed whether the secretary of the
treasury will be able to carry out on
any considerable scale the project of
the New Orleans exporters for accept
ing cash at government fiscal agencies
abroad and transferring it by tele-
graph to points in this country, but
Secretary Corte1you is understood to
be willing to make such deposits of
public money at cotton exporting
points as will to a considerable extent
relieve the strain.
Bank Notes Increase.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The monthly
circulation statement issued by the
controller Of the currency shows that
at the close of business Thursday the
total circulation of national bank notes
was $600,9S,4 66, which is an increase
for the month of $5,996,625, and for
the year an increase OF $26,8OS,481.
