ROADS ACCEPT
RATE DECISION
viii Restore Old Tariff for Northwest
Lumber Trade.
Northern Pacific Leads by AnnoLnc-
ing Restoration of Former Freight
Schedule-WiIl Bring Suit Later
Securities Put Up by Mil Men
Are Now Released.

Tacoma, July 25.-It is officially an
nounced by the Northern Pacific Kali
way company today that consideration
given by the transportation lines to
the recent decision of the Interstate
Commerce commission on the question
of rates on forest products has termi-
mated in an announcement by railway
lines that rates recently fixed by the
commission will, as soon as possible,
be put into effect by the railways
not that they think the rates are just,
but they submit for the time being to
the Interstate Commerce commission 8
order.
No application for temporary injunc-
ton against the order will be made,
nevertheless the railways expect to
bring suit urging that the rates are
unreasonable and asking a determine
ton in the courts to that effect.
This determination cannot, of course,
be had until final hearing and decision
in court; in the meantime it is under
stood the only legal rate will be that
fixed by the commission, and even
should the suit be determined in favor
of the railways in the end, that deter
mination cannot be retroactive, and
will operate only from that time on.
1t is also announced that the railway
lines will settle for past business on
the basis of the commissions rate,
ard upon such settlements being made,
the security up in protection of the suit
before Judge Hanford will be released.

CONTINUE PROSECUTION.


Chicago, July 24.-United States
District Attorney Sims today gave out
the following announcement:
1.-THE government will file a petition
for a rehearing in the Standard Oil
case before the Circuit Court of APP
peals within 30 days. If that petition
Is denied, the government will push
the prosecution Of all the cases against
the Standard Oil company. The fight
has just begun.
1t is supposed that Sims received his
instructions from Attorney General
Bonaparte, as he announced yesterday
that he could make no statement until
he had conferred with Bonaparte.
The first new cases to be taken up
will be those in Tennessee. The trials
will be held at Jackson, in that state,
November 8 There cases involve L.
500 counts, and will be prosecuted by
Special Counsel James H. Wilkerson.
The action will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.
Attorney General Bonaparte today
wired District Attorney Sims as fol-
lows:
II feel that you and your assistants
have done everything possible TO pro-
tect the interests of the government
and promote justice | will write to
you fully on the subject as soon as the
opinion comes to hand. !"

SHIPPERS DEMAND FARLEY.
Ask Presidents of Eastern Roads to
Conference on Rates.

Chicago, July 25.-Shipping inter
ests of the entire country, represented
by committee especially appointed at
a general conference of the shippers
held recently in Chicago, decided at a
meeting here today to ask presidents
of Eastern railroads to meet them to
discuss the proposed increase in
freight rates. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the committeeman that be-
fore beginning fight it would be wise
to bring about such meeting with
the railroad officials, at the same time
asking them to put no advance into
effect until after the conference had
been held.
While action on the rate situation
was in progress, long protest and
appeal to the Interstate Commerce
commission was being formulated by
the National Industrial Traffic league,

FINE WILL STAND.
Court of Appeals Sustains STANDARD
Oil Assessment.

Chicago, July 22.-John d. Rookie
Teller will know at 1880 O'Clock today
that the Standard Oil company of In
diana must pay the fine of 500, 240,00C
assessed against it by Judge Lands II
the United States supreme court here
nearly a year ago. The court of ap-
peals will report its finding at that
hour, and positive assurance is given
that the original decision will be
affirmed in every particular; that the
fine will stand and that new trial
will be denied.
This is the final outcome of day
full of wide speculation and excite
ment among the attorneys on both
sides of the famous case. The fact
that the court of appeals had reached
Il decision and was ready to report
came as a great surprise, as it had
been thought the case would go over
until fall The court of appeals is
made up of Judges Peter S. Grosscup
Francis E. Baker and William H. Sea
man. There was hint last night thai
one judge will dissent, but this will
not affect the finding, as the Other
two are said to have sustained Judge
Lands throughout.
Early reports yesterday were to the
effect that the fine imposed by Judge
Lands would be greatly reduced; il
TACT, cut down to the ordinary fines
assessed against corporations-som
where in the thousands instead of The
millions. From an authority which
cannot be questioned, however, it is
learned that the majority of the court
sustains Judge Lands.

UNCLE SAM AS RULER.
Kaiser's War Expert Sees This Re-
suit From European War.

Berlin, July 23.-Showing that a
European war at this time would cost
SIG, 900, 900, 900 annually and would re-
suit in the United States becoming the
undisputed leader of the world, General
Blume, the famous military expert,
today submitted report, ordered by
Emperor William, on the probable cost
of an international fight.
If Germany were to fight another
European power, General Blume says,
it would cost the empire 81, 500, OOO,-
900 year in direct outlay and entail
loss of So, 500, 900, 900 annually to the
in the paralysis of commerce.
General Blume declares that, owing
to the delicate adjustment of European
politics, the next war will involve at
least four powers, and that his esti-
mate of cost would apply to each.
The financial drain would not result
otherwise than in the world supremacy
of the United States, he says.

NEW WIRELESS RECORD.
Point Iona Station Talks With Fleet
1900 Miles Away.

San Diego, CAL, July 25.-A. R..
Rice, chief operator and his assistants,
H. v. Keefer and C. H. Randall, at
the Point Iona government wireless
telegraph station, hold the record for
long distance work today, having talk
ed with Admiral Sperry's battleship
the Connecticut last night or rather
this morning at little past midnight.
The Connecticut answered the first call
of the station, and after identifying
each other the battleship stated that
she was then in longitude 165 west and
between and 10 north latitude on
her way to Auckland, N. g., from Hon
olulu. A little figuring shows that
the point is close to 1900 miles from
San Diego, the previous record for long
distance work being $500 miles.

|NEW TRIAL
| FOR STANDARD
Big Fine Imposed by Judge Lands is
AnnuIIed by Higher Court.
Unanimous Decision That First Tr;.,
Was Unfair-Government is Give,
SO Days to File Necessary Pa
pers and Action Will be Takan
Decision Surprise.

Chicago, July 23.-The United stateo
Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday 70.
versed and remanded for re-trial tbo
case of the government against tho
Standard Oil company of Indiana. in
which Judge Lands, in the District
court, had imposed fine of S29. 240-
900. The government has 80 dava
within which to file a petition for re-
hearing and it was announced that II
will be filed within the allotted time.
The decision came as a complete sur-
prise to the government officials, who
believed the trial judge would be un-
held.
Judge Grosscup, who delivered the
opinion, left little of the contention
that each carload at the 6-cent rate
constituted a separate offense. Even
the shipments, of which there were
about 500, could not be so considered
under the ruling of the court. The
fine should have been based on SETTLE
ments between the railroad and the oil
company. Of these there were lust
SO. The maximum fine on this basis
would amount to but $3.50, 900, and the
minimum $36, 000-the latter figure
being considerably lower than the
1928, 900 which the Standard is alleged
toshave received as rebates on the shin
ments in question.
In the event that rehearing is de-
MED, the government may go to trial
on the original indictment containing
1852 counts-an action which Mr..
Sims could be ready to take within two
weeks-or upon anyone of seven other
indictments containing 4,442 counts.

ChlIdren's Disease Kills Ten Day in
Chicago.

Chicago, July 24.-Nineteen out of
every 100 Chicago babies under year
of age have died during the first %
days of July. This is about one-fourth
of the quoted death rate of the city.
There have been 10 deaths daily from
bowel diseases of children under 2
years of age.
One of the noteworthy points of the
city physicians report is in an italian
section of the city Gault Court.
Here it was expected that, owing to
the very congested conditions, de-
plorable state of affairs would be re-
vealed Just the reverse was found.
Crowds were there, and dirt was
there, but babies, strange to say, were
unaccountably healthy and strong.
According to DR.. Heman Spalding,
of the Health department, the common
house fly is one of the great contribu-
tors to the complaints prevalent among
the city's children.

Quebec, July 24.-The prince of
Wales was the central figure yesterday
in the magnificent spectacle of repro
ducing Quebec's historic past and
usherng in the Booth anniversary of
the founding of the city by Champlain.
Aside from the spectacular features of

notable exchange of addresses between
Vice President Fairbanks and the
prince of Wales, in which the former
spoke of the existing relations between
the United States and Great Britain
and the prince delivered a message of
good will to the American government.
An enormous crowd filled the Place

Here the prince received the addresses
of the American and French represent
atives, the mayor of Quebec, and fin
ally Champlain himself, reproduced as

mimic reproduction of his original
ship, the Don de Dieu, with some g.,
