Although the American battleship
construction record is broken by the
North Dakota's builders, it does not
closely approach that held by the Brit

first Dreadnought The keel of that
vessel was laid in July, 1905, and on
October 2, of the same year, the ves-

Dakota will be ready for its first trial

Will Fail II Appellate Court Deci-
sion Stands Unm0dified. !.


Chicago. Nov. 10-The government
petition for a rehearing Of the case q
which the United States circuit court
of appeals reversed the trial court
in filming the Standard Oil company Of
Indiana 29,240,O00 for alleged rebat-
ing. was denied In the court Of appeals
today. 1t is authoritatiNe1y stated
that the government Will now at
tempt to bring the whole matter be-
fore the supreme court on a writ Of
certiorari.
The government in its petition for
re-hearing intimated that IL the
opinion of the judges of the appellate
court, Grosscup, Seaman and Baker,
were allowed to stand, 1t would null
lify nearly every shred of the rate
reformatory legislation accomplished
by the Roosevelt administration. In
the summing up Of it's position, coun-
sci for the government said that the
opinion of the court of appeals, as It
stood, enormously said that the ma
terial portion of the record did in
justice to the trial Judge, Lands. and
left doubtful in a new trial, the rule
of law to be applied both as to the
knowledge on the part of the shipper
that he was accepting an illegally
low rate and did not make it clear
what was to constitute one offense, a
train loan, car lot or whole series
of shipments, for which but one set
tlement of freight charges had been
made. 1t was further alleged that the
language Of the appellate judges ap-
peared to be in conflict with the
language of the supreme court and
with language used by the presiding
Judge, Grosscup, in previous SINH
lar case. The petition closed with the
statement that if the opinion of the
court of appeals was permitted to
stand unmodified it would "tend to
encourage disobedience to the law, to
impede the enforcement of saluatary
statutes and largely to defeat their
PURPOSES"

race for the governofship, In which
he was defeated by Governor Patter-

tragic end has spread distress and BIT

some that the end Of the trouble Is

in the coming political alignments..
In each Of Carmack's recent cam

That Colorado will be denuded OF
her forests and not have stick of

now was the sweeping prediction
made yesterday by Secretary of Asri-
culture James Wilson. who did not
hesitate to blame the government
for so long neglecting this important
work.
He also declared that the grasses
Of Colorado are in worse condition
than those of any other state and
said that the grass had been overfed
and in the greater part of the COM

many sections he saw that il Is net
