PREPARE
ANOTHER ATTACK
ON STANDARD OIL
Sims Will Confer Soon With
Heads of Department
of Justice.

Chicago. July 25.-Undismayed by the
blow administered by the federal court
of appeals, which yesterday knocked
out the fanous $29, 24O. 900 Standard Oil
fine, United States District Attorney
Sims is planning a fresh onslaught
upon the oil trust.
In the mass of unfavorable state
ments contained in the adverse ruling
of the upper court. District Attorney
Sims found one source of satisfaction
that the actual guilt of the oil trust
was not at any time called into ques-
ton. The finding of the lower court
was reversed solely on the ground of
errors. The machinery of the depart
ment of justice at Washington and OF
District Attorney Sims office in Chi
cage was put in action as soon as the
contents of the decision became known,
preparatory to trying for a fresh con-
yict;on.
Just which one of the several courses
open to the government will be de-
cide6 upon will not be known definitely
until after a conference of the heads
of the department, which will be held
within a few days.
Mr.. Sims today announced positively
that a petition for a rehearing in the
case would be filed. No other action
will be determined upon until after
Attorney General Bonaparte has read
the opinion of the reviewing court.

THE number of offenses in the pres

As to whether Judge Lands, In inn
posing the monumental fine abused the
discretion vested in the court, the
opinion says:
THE only stated reason of the trial
court for imposing this sentence was
because after conviction before sen-
tence 1t was brought out that the cap

a New Jersey corporation, a corpora

Can the court without abuse of judi

of the defendant before the court and
all the assets to which It's creditors
look In an effort to reach and punish
the party that is not before court, a
party that is not even indicted? Can
an American judge without abuse OF

who has not had his day in court?

BABY'S UNCLE
AND GRANDPA, TOO

Kalamazoo, Mich, July 25.-Benjamin
Pearce today married Mrs. Myrtle Rob-
observation-disclosures and
thereby became the fatherinlaw of
his sister and uncle and the grand
father of his wife's sons child.
Deeper study of the situation pre-
sented by Mr.. Pearce's matrimonial
venture might reveal further degrees
of relationship, but the foregoing are
apparent at a glance. Here's how it
happened:
Mrs. Pearce by her first husband be-
came mother of David Force. The lat
ter led to the altar Gladys Pearce, sis
ter of Benjamin Pearce. They have a
baby. Now 1T can be seen readily that
as husband of his sisters motherinlaw
Benjamin Pearce becomes his sisters
fatherinlaw. 1t Is just as simple to per-
ceive hat as plain brother Of his sister
he naturally is her child's uncle. And
as spouse of his sisters child's grand
mother how can he be other than the
infants grandfather?

CROP OUTLOOK Is
NOT so R0SEATE

Chicago. July 24.-The attention OF
the country is once more focused on
crop conditions and now on the eve Of
the harvest season conflicting reports Of
conditions in the grain belt have made
the outlook doubtful. Since the first
forecasts of a bumper crop were made
estimates have been continually scaled
down. Only lately the governments
first estimate of a billion bushel oat
crop has had to be revised and the total
production Of this cereal this ear will
probably be only normal.
Last weeks heat in the northwest and
the frequent rains and ravages of the
Hessian fly in Kansas, Missouri and the
southwest have combined to lower the
original forecast OF a $50, 900, 900 bushel
wheat crop possible 100, 000, 900 bushels.
Consumers and the speculative trade
are watching the situation keenly.

ENGLISH PEER MAKES
FUN OF SLIM DIET

London, July 3.-Sir Charles Creighton
Brown, at the public health congress,
made a slashing attack on medical men
who preach not only simplicity in diet but
a degree Of abstemiousness which hither-
to has been regarded as dangerous.
A campaign against overlooking was
right. he said, but many doctors were GO
ing too far. He criticised Professor Chit
tenden's declaration that the average man
could do with half the nutriment he takes
at present. He declared the energy and
vitality OF successful races might almost
be measured by the degree in which ant
NAL food entered into their diet.

SULTAN MUST BOW
TO YOUNG TURKS
Said PaSha, His Chief Minis
ter, Resigns --RefOrmerS
Are Suspicious

By United Press Leased Special Wire
CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 6-The
resignation of said Posha. the Grand
Vizier and the Sultan's newly appoint
ed ministry. is taken in official CIR
cles to mean but one thing. He will
have to yield unreservsdly to the de-
mands of the young Turks to save his
regime from a complete overthrow. De.
spite all of Abdul Hamid's promises OF
reform and his new declaration that
he desires to see his PEOPLE enjoying
the greatest possible measure of self
government the young Turks, who arU
the dominant party 1T present are
deeply suspicious Of him. They say
he intends to give Turkey sonly Il
paper reform Unless the Sultan
acts quickly in conformity to their de-
mands, their military organizations
will move against him. The formation
of a new ministry will likely result in
a liberal representation being accorded
the younger element.
The ministry that has just resigned
quit through fear Of assassination.
All responsibility for the attack on
the Sultan is disclaimed by the young
Turks.
