up the claim that section 10 Of the

which operates to grant immunity from
prosecution to all corporations or In
dividuals who committed odenses
against the law prior to the passage
Of the act except such offenders as
were indicted before the law went into

that section 10 Of the Hepburn act

that the Hepburn act is an amendatory
act and not a repeating act, that in so
far as it repeats or reprOduces por-

MORE TRUST BUSTING

Sherman antitrust law and the legal
department of the government gener-

AS soon as Assistant Attorney Gen

turns from Europe. Mr.. Bonaparte Will
consult him in relation to the prose-
cution of the lumber trust, Interna-
tional Harvester company and the soft

called paper trust. Various facts show

binations named have been laid before

intention to appoint special counsel to
conduct the campaign on behalf of the

ton had been effectually put out 81

ceedings instituted last year by Franl

The campaign which France has just

Deco was inaugurated early in Au-
gust. under the mandate given to both
France and Spain by the Algeciras
agreement to maintain proper police

ment was the murder July 80 Of seven
Europeans at Casablanca. Spain took

On the pretext that they were dis
pleased with the harbor works at Casa

meantime the Moors had invested Casa

ANOTHER STAGGERING
BLOW FOR STANDARD
Denver Court Bars Immu-
nifty Plea Similar to Oil
Trusts.
JUDGE LANDIS' VIEWS UPHELD
Decision Foreshadows that $29, 000,.
900 Will Have To Be Paid
to Government.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-On the eve Of &C
ton today in Judge Lands court
which Is expected to extend official
immunity to the Chicago and Alton
railroad for freight rate rebatipg, the
Standard oil company received a body
blow in its fight to escape the $29, 000,-
600 fine imposed by the same Judge and
for the same offense.
The blow came in the shape OF a
decision by the United States court OF
appeals, sitting at Denver. to the eff
feet that the new Hepburn act does
not render immune from prosecution
certain other offenders who INDUCED
in Relating before it became a law.
This was one of the principal argu-
ments on which the Standard sought to
evade prosecution IN Judge Lands
court. and it is a leading claim in the
appeal of the trust to the court of ap-
peals to nullify the $4,000. 600 fine

tfon invalid.
Prosecutor Sims Is Pleased.
The news of the decision as IL
reached Chicago last night was hailed
by federal officials as of great i'm
portance.
1T is another victory for the gov
eminent" said United States District
Attorney Sims THE Standard OF
companys lawyers raised the same con
tention in its trial before Judge Ian
dis. They claimed the company was
immune from prosecution on the ground
that a section of the Hepburn law ha6
repealed a section of the Elkins law
under which the offenses were com
mitted. Judge Lands overruled this
plea as being invalid.
The decision of the court of appeals
at Denver on the identical point adds
a higher authority to the opinion OF
Judge lands. 1t may be taken as ar
indication of the view that the higher
courts here undoubtedly will take OF
this argument, which is one of the
principal lines of reasoning by which
the Standard will attempt to show that
it has been convicted unlawfulIy"

Former I. G. Head Asks
Proxies for Stockohld-
er's Meeting.
SEEKS TO REMOVE HARTMAN
He Claims Methods of Union Pacific
Crowd Are High Handed in
the Extreme.

New Yrok, Sept. 2S.-That Stuyvesant
Fish means TO fight T. H. Hartman to
finish in the Illinois Central was made
evident today when Mr. Fish sent out
long letter to stockholders, asking
them for their proxies to vote at the
annual meeting in Chicago on Oct. 16.
Mr.. Fish has not heretofore solicited
proxies. He said last August that he
intended to be present at the meeting
and vote his own shares and such
proxies as might be conhded to him.
but now 1t appears he has decided to
go running for all the proxies, the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hartman and three of his
friends to the four places in the direc-
torate to be filled at the stockholders
meeting. Mr. Fish himself is one of
the retiring directors and John Jacob
Aston and Mr.. Hartman also go out.
A successor to the late John c. Well
ing is also to be elected.
Mr.. Fish asks the stockholders to
make out their proxies running to his
two colleagues in the board, Charles
M. Beach and James De w. Cutting,
and himself. He reviews some recent
acts of the present management and
tells what happened to the resolution
he tried to read at a recent meeting.
He says nothing about what happened
| to President Harahan. This was the
meeting at which Mr.. Harahan was
| punched by Mr.. Fish.
Gives Reason for Appeal
Mr.. Fish in his circular to the stock
| holders says he has served as director
/ and officer of the Illinois Central for
/ thirty years, two-thirds of the time as

HORSE CASE ARGUED
Lawyers in Discussion Over
 the Italian Language.

The hearing of the suit of tho American Furniture company against the city closed last evening and all the lawyers in town are talking about the final scenes. It was lively hear. ing from the start, Attorney Cassidy representing the plaintiff and City At torney Kellogg the city. Injury to a horse and wagon by falling into a hole made by city laborers on Frank lin street was the cause of the trouble. Italian laborers were wit nesses and a controversy took place between the lawyers as to what one of the witnesses had said. Both law. yers contended they knew enough Italian to be able to follow the wit. ness, and the matter was passed over without either finding out how much Italian the other knew.
 Yesterday at the close of the argu, ments the lawyers got betting about what they knew in law and finally Attorney Kellogg wanted to bet $100 to $1 that Attorney Cassidy was wrong in his every conclusion of law on the case. Attorney Cassidy would not take the bet and so the case clos ed. Judge Cowell did not interefere with the bettors nor did he decide the case.

A SURPRISE PARTY
F. A. WeDZel Gives His Clerks a
 Spread at Tue Elton.

A most pleasant surprise took place last evening at the close of the even-
 ing's business, and the opening night
 of the new Wenzel store, when MT
 Wenzel invited his corps of assist ants to The Elton, where they found prepared for them a most tempting array of palatable viands that would meet the most eXacting taste of the most exacting epicure. After toast ing to the health of MT Wenzel and with many well wishes for the future success of the enterprise, MT Wenzel responded in neat speech of thanks and sound business advice. The ev- ening was one of remarkable success in every department that goes to make up an event of such nature as an opening. The supply of 1000 chrysanthemums which the firm had purchased to give to each lady visit or were early exhausted, and they were compelled to strip their potted plants to meet the incessant demand for some reminder of the event. Lal- Hers orchestra of five pieces furnish ed the music. Among those who en- joyed the sumptous spread at The FL ton were Robert I. Wheeler, James Il. Cline, William l.. Taylor, H. A. Streeter, J. R. Grady, Henry BunnelI and w. A. Holman.

COLUMBIA REFORMS" SPELLING
Profs Math-yuz and Tommus PreyayiI
 on the University Trustees.

Notwithstanding the fact that sim. Tlified spelling was drowned upon at the last session of congress, the trus tees and the University Press of Co- lumbia voted yesterday to adopt the new style of spelling, which will bring into official use at Columbia at least two hundred and thirty of the three hundred reformed spellings proposed by Professor Brander Mat thews of the simplifed spelling board.
 Professor Matthews and Professor Calvin Thomas, the present chairman, Of the board. both of whom are in- Structors at Columbia, have worked for the past two years to have the reformed style of spelling recognized at Columbia. and the action taken by the trustees yesterday is regarded as n signal victory for the cause of sim plifed spelling.
 The authority which has been taken to determine the standard for Colum- hia photography is the Century die tionary. which, as Professor Mat thews has frequently pointed out. prefers about two hundred and thirty spellings identical with those on the list of "reformed' spcllings published about two years ago. The new style of spelling though" through" and thorough" has not been adopted.
