AND HE'LL
IN THE SANE CLASS

"There should be no wonder at the
crime wave after seeing the theatres
wide open on Sunday. There has been
a backward tendency in morals more
and more pronounced during the past
seven or eight years. This year there
is a brazenness among the men and
women hilarious life, a Haunting
shameless. hilarity that only Paris
equals a lack of interest in the
church and an increase in anarchistic
and socialistic tendencies that are ap-
palling."
Here DIR. Broughton switched to
the women question.
ITO any man who values and be
lieves in feminine modesty the sights
in the streets and the cafes and res
taurants of New York at night are
terrific. There is a complete break
ing down of the barriers between the
sexes. The conversation one hears in
theatres and restaurants indicates the
brazen shamlessness. The drinking
habits of women astound visitors to
this city"

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 2.-"Not

the verdict of the jury in the trial of

were charged with bathing in "A pub

ON the banks of Walnut creek, under

NAY BE LARGEST
FINE ON RECORD
Probably Today the Standard Oil Company VIII
Be Assessed the Biggest Fine Sentence Ever
Imposed In America---May Be $4,000, ,OOO---
Details of the Great Case

Chicago, Aug. 2.-What is expe
cted to be the largest fine recorded
in the judicial history of the United
tates probably will be assessed by
Federal Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands ag
against the Standard Oil company be-
fore another day has passed. Tomo
rrow is the date set for imposing
the penalty, and attorneys who have {
ollowed the case closely and are ac-
quainted with the fearlessness of ]
udge Lands believe that the fine will
be very nearly the limit allowed by
aw. That there will be an appeal is
certain, attorneys for the 'oil trust
having been allowed sixty days after
the fine entry in the rebate case in W
hich to file exceptions. This will
give the lawyers until October in W
hich to prepare their bill. This stip-
ulation was allowed by Judge Landi
s in order that John S. Miller. leading
council for the Standard, might pas
S his vacation in Europe.
No matter whether the fine is large
or small. there IS certain to be much
delay in its payment, if it is ever
paid The Standard has always in
sisted on a decision from the court of
last resort. and this may require
many years. In the meantime, there
are several other indictments against
the company for violations of the
Elkins law which were returned also
last fall, as well as score of suits in
the federal district. Some OF these
indictments in the northern Illinois
district are nearly as voluminous and
important as the one on which tomor-
rows fine will be based. Practically
the same kind of evidence figures in
all these cases. and hence il is likely
that. unless attorneys for the oil com
pany become more informing in the
| future, John ID. Rockefeller and his
associates viii have to make many
more trips to give evidence in the
near future.
Opinion is divided rs to whether
! the Standard will be given the maxi
mum fine of s29, 100000. Many be
lieve that Judge Lands will deem II
expedient to make the fine much
smaller. but there are a large mum
ber of attorneys and financiers. some
of them intimates of the judge, who
are firmly of the opinion that the
penalty assessed will be not one cent
| less than that allowed by the stat
utes. The only excuse judge may

be called upon to offer in imposing
less than maximum fine in criminal
cases like this is a bona fide reason
for clemency. In this case Judge
Lands offered the Standard Oil COM
pany full opportunity to prove that
the New Jersey concern had been a
law-abiding corporation. Such con-
tention is not borne out by the rec
ords in the case. and il is upon the
records that Judge Lands will reach
n decision as TO the amount of the
fine.
During the trial it was fully shown
that the Standard Oil company of In
diana is but one branch of a great
corporation, with annual earnings of
from S30,000.000 to $S0,000,000
Thus the maximum fine of over S29.-
100000 possible under the conviction
of the company on lace counts of
the Indictment, represents probably
less than one-half of its total earn
ings for one year. As the period GOV
cred by the Indictment, however, was
eighteen months, being portions of
could hardly be construed as n
cruel and unusual punishment by
court of last resort.

brought out at the recent trial, and
on which Judge Lands viii base the
amount of the fine to be imposed to-
morrow, were the following:
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey holds $499, 500 of the $1,000
600 capital stock of the Standard Oil
company of Indiana.
Outstanding capital stock of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
the parent concern, is S9S,300,00O.
Net earnings of the Standard oil
company of New Jersey during the
years 1903, 1904 and 1909 approx
mate 100000.
Dividends paid on the capital stocl
of the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey during those years approx
mated 40 per cent of the amount oi
the stock or nearly 40.0O0,000.
The Standard Oil company of New
Jersey holds by far the larger por
tion of the stock of the Union Tanl

BRIDGE OVER THE GULCH
SHALL 1T BE CONSTRUCTED OF
STEEL OR cEMENT7
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Commissioners Have Concluded
That the County Is Not Justified in
Putting More Money Than Steel viii
Cost.
tFrom Wednesdays Daily,


There seems to be some difficulty in
bridge that shall be placed across Cor
pOraton gulCh on Main street. Tho
matter was up before the county com
missiOncrs who met in Madison ycstcr-
day, and II was determined by the
board that they would be Justified in
putting in three steel bridges, one
2Ofoot roadway in the center of the
street and two 5.iOut bridges to con.
meet with the sidewalks ON either side.
Three plans were under discussion at
the meeting, one as outlined another
to build ono steel bridge only, with
the walks in the center Of the street
adjoining the roadway, and the other
to build the fun width of the street
of cement.
The board had asked those interest.
ed to be at the meeting when the mat
ter would come up, but no adjoining
property owner was there, but instead
several letters were received urging
that the bridge be built of cement.
The commissioners investigated the
relative cost of the three plans and
they found that while the three bridg-
es would cost more than the one that
the cement proposition would cost two
and half or three times as much as
the three. II was the sentiment of the
full board that the county would not
be justified In going to more expense
than the three steel bridges would cost.
and then they left the matter for final
determination at the meeting 10 be
held February 2G.
At that time owners of property or
others interested are urged TO attend
the meeting and talk the matter over
with the commissioners The commits
Sioners wish ii understood that If the
town wants something more expensive
than the steel bridges that they would
be willing To put the same amount Of
money into a cement arch that the
bridges would cost. They say that If
| the city or property owners want a &C.
ment arch or something more expen.
sive than steel, that the commissioners
are willing to contribute to such an
arch an amount equal to the cost Of
the three bridges.
II is hoped that owners will meet
with the commissioners on tho 25th
and help to dispose of this matte" sat

COMMERCIAL CLUB BALLOTS.
Have Been Sent Out to Members of
the Organization.

Blank ballots have been sent out by
mail from the office of Secretary Math-
ewson of the Commercial club to men,
bers of the organization asking that
the ballots be filled in with the names
of nine men to be directors of the
Commercial club for the ensuing year
The members are allowed one vote
for each membership which they hold
in the club. This ballot has been sent
out by Secretary Mathewson in compli-
ance with a decision of the club di-
rectors at recent meeting when, this
method was adopted in the hope that
an election might result, insofar as it
had failed to result in the regularly
provided way by balloting at the city
hall on the first Friday in January be-
tween the hours of 10 a. m. and p.
m.
The blank ballots sent out were &C
companied by return envelopes, al
ready stamped; but by an accident
one-cent stamps were on the envelopes
and, since the postal regulations pro-
vide for two cents postage, it will be
necessary to add another cents worth
of postage in returning the votes.

Norfolk, Ncb., Feb. 6.--Editor News;

Commercial club seems to he through
the columns of the newspaper, ven
ture to address letter to you on the
subject of the election of the board of
directors that seems to be under way.

prised that II would be thought Of as
1t seems to me not altogether fair to
stockholders and surely not for the
best interests OF the Commercial club
and our city.
assume II must be that the direct
ors were discouraged with the result
of their attempt to hold an annual
election in the day time, and because
of that failure, concluded that the pub
lie and our stockholders are not suf-
ficiently interested to attend a meet
ing: but in this they are undoubtedly
mistaken as, if they will call a meet
ing of the stockholders for any even

desire to make report of their doings

and for an election of directors for
another year they will find an abund-

anCe.
This matter is a very serious one
for the Commercial club and for Nor
folk and should not be allowed to go
on in this way, that is to say, it would
be so much better to have an election
of directors at a public meeting where
we can confer with each other and
discuss matters generally and get in
touch with what has been done and
doing in the club that the result of this
effort to elect through the postofiice is
likely to be a sorry failure.
Further than this, the plan of elect
ing directors by mail is directly con
trary to the constitutional provision
adopted by the organization.

KELLY WILL LEAVE TOWN.
Man Who Created Disturbance and
Whose Condition Was Discussed.

James Kelly, the laborer who recent

sanity at Madison because of a dis
turbance created here, and who re-
CURED four men to handcuff him be-
fore he could be imprisoned while in
his delirius condition, will leave tomor-

The police and others whom Kelly
turned upon in his wrath for sending
him to Madison, are glad that he is
to leave the city because of threats
that he has made. He was declared by
local physician TO be insane and it
was said that his insanity was of
type that breaks out in dangerous
spots. One of Kelly's hands has been
a-tremble ever since his attack. One
man in town asked Mayor Friday for
permission to carry gun with which
to protect himself from an attack at
the hands of Kelly with which, he said,
Kelly threatened him.
