Chicago, July 22.-The federal
court OF appeals today reversed the
decision Of Judge lands in filming the
Standard OIL company OF Indiana
s29,240, 900.
The court ordered the case to be
given a rehearing, remanding 1t for
that purpose. The decision Is a scath-
ing arrignment OF Lands, holding he
imposed the fine when the company
was not indicted and not even on
trial. 4ANi
lands decision was made nearly
a year ago and was a sensation, the
case being upon the alleged rebating
on the oil shipped by the Standard.
Lands assessed the highest possible
fine in each separate alleged offense.
Today's decision is a great shock
70 the government,
The court Of appeals Is composed
OF Judges Peter Grosch Of Chicago;
E. Baker and William H. Seaman.
The Standard Of Indiana, is one OF
the subsidiary companies Of the Stan
dard of New Jersey. 1t has a capital
Of only 100000. but the govern
ment's investigation showed that dur
ing some periods II earned more than
1000 per cent profits.
Grosscup read the decision, reading
only in part he sald Briefly the
reason for imposing the sentence was
because after being convinced be-
fore evidence was brought out in the
examination of some Of the officers,
and stockholders OF the Standard OIL
company OF New Jersey, that the
stock Of the Standard OF Indiana, was
owned principally by the New Jersey
corporation. That corporation was
not before the court for trial.
Passing the fact that no word OF
evidence or other information sup
ported the trial courts claim, II duly
proven Is to be found in the record,
would justify a sentence such as this
one that otherwise could not have
been imposed.
"Can a court without abuse Of ju-
dicial discretion, wipe out all the de-
fendant's property before the court,
all the assets to which the creditors

an American Judge, without abuse of
judicial discretion condemn anyone
who has not had day in court?

that rightfully be done here on the

BISHOP POTTER
DIES IN PEACE
DEATH ENDS SUFFERING
OF FAMOUS PRELATE
Sudden RELAPSE Proves too Great
Shock for Clergyman Who Had
Been Ill Several MOnths--Brought
Into Prominence by Liberal Tenn
perance Views and HIS Model Sa-
Moon.

Cooperstown, N. Y, July a.
Henry Goldman Potter, seventh pro-
testant Episcopal bishop Of the do
cese of New York, died tonight at
Fernligh, his summer home here, af-
ter an illness of several weeks, aged
"A years. The bishop was uncon-
scious all day and the end, which
came at S:S5 o'clock tonight, was
peaceful and quiet.
Gathered at the bedside Of tho dy-
ing churchman, were Mrs. Potter,
wife of the prelate; Mrs Mason C..
Davidge, who came from California,
and Miss Sarah Potter, his two
daughters; Alonzo Potter, his son;
Mr.. Edward S. Clark, Mrs. Charles
Russell and Mrs. William Hyde. his
other two daughters who are abroad,
have been notified.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-22

have been notified.
Henry Cadman Potter was born in
Schenectady, N. Y, May %, 1885, the
son of Bishop Alonzo Potter of the
diocese of Pennsylvania. He was ed
ucated in the Episcopal Academy,
Philadelphia, but like Phillips Brooks,
he took his divinity course in the ia
nous old Alexandria Theological
Seminary in Virginia, graduating
therefrom in 1857.
Bishop Potter had not long been in
office when he began to exhibit the
energy and vigor which later made
him the leader of his church. One
summer, instead of going to Europe,
he decided to remain down in the city
proper, and to look after the poor of
that section. He came to know this
life intimately. and 1t was about this
time that he gave forth his famous
utterance, that the Episcopal church,
in spite of its magnificent traditions,
would be a monstrous impertinence"
in case 1t did not exert itself toward
the solution of social problems and
the uplifting of the masses of the
! people.
The bishops liberal views on tenn
perance subjected him to considerable
criticism. The most striking manifes-
tation of this theory in this regard
was the dedication of the famous
subway tavern" in New York, with
prayer and address by the bishop.
This subway tavern was sort of sa-
loon where the working man, 1t was
planned, could go and get his drink
quietly without being subjected to
vicious influences. It became the GEN.
| ter of sectional attention for several
months in mercural New York, but
at length it lost its novelty failed to
attract the poorer classes, and within
year or so was abandoned, as a re-
form saloon, and became very like
any other groggery. AS a financial
experiment also It was a failure.
The bishop took many journeys to
Europe, where he was received Of
course, with marked attention. That
this did not disturb his poise in any
way was shown by his utterance in
London, and his repetition Of the same

HARVEST GO0D
IN ALL SECTIONS
ACTUAL YIELDS BETTER
THAN EARLY ESTIMATES
Reports From Different Parts Of
Umatilla Show That Conditions Are
Similar TO Those In UmatllIa Coun-
ty-Oregon's Yield Especially Good
Much Better Than Expected.

AS harvest advances this year the
reports received from other sections
OF the inland empire show conditions
to be much the same as in Umatilla
county, to-wit: the actual yields are
proving better than the pre-harvest
estimates.
The general condition of the fall
wheat crop seems to be good in prac-
tically every section where the har-
vest has begun and actual returns
greatly increase the yield over the
preharvest estimates.
Yields of 20 to 25 bushels to the
acre are quite common in the inland
empire thus far, no returns being re-
ceived to date placing the cut at less
than 15 bushels to the acre. Returns
of less than 20 bushels are very un-
common and thus far are noted only
in sections where the rain supply was
short at least six inches from the nor
NAL.
Even in the condor district the re-
turns are much better than expected.
In that section 1t has been noted that
by far the best returns are being re-
celved. In such a dry season the
well cultivated wheat field suffers
but little from drouth but in sections
where little attention was given culti-
walton and where wheat growers al
lowed nature to take the full burden
of the crop, the initial reports of the
yield were far from favorable-but
still not so bad as had been forecast
ed in some of the early damage re-
ports.
Oregon Yield Good.
Returns of 25 to 80 bushels to the
acre were lately received from Hepp-
ner Eight Mile, Gooseberry and sew
eral other spots of the Heppner sec
ton the yields are seldom ranging be-
low 25 bushels to the acre, and never
to date this season have they fallen
below 20 bushels.

IN ~sENsELEss PANIC.
Sixteen People Killed and Many In.
iured at RarnsIey, Eng.

Barnsley, Eng, Jan. 1.-THE sense
less stampede of a crowd of people in
a theater of this city resulted in six
teen persons, including a number OF
children in arms, being crushed to
death by the frantic efforts of the
crowd to get clear of the building.
Many others were injured and all for
no reason. There was no danger, no
fire; only the unaccountable panic OF
the crowd that found it's egress from
the theater hampered by its own mum
hers.
There had been a performance for
children at Harvey institute. The hall
was crowded to it's utmost capacity
and many persons had been refused
admittance at the door. At the con
clusion Of the performance an mex
plicable mad rush was made for the
exits and it was there that the fatal
crush occurred. The weaker went to
the ground and were trampled to
death by the stronger. Lives were
crushed out and limbs were broken by
the frantic people IS they struggled
and fought to make their way to the
open.
There was no need of haste. Order
and calm and %self-control would have
permitted everybody to get out of the
hall safely.

THAW INSANE AS A BOY
LittIeton Says Defendant Was
Always Irrational.

New York, Jan. 14.-The Thaw trial
moved With a rush. After the state
had presented its direct case and AS
sistant District Attorney Caravan had
characterized the killing of Stanford
White as "a ~premeditated, deliberate
and cowardly MURDER" Martin w. Lit
Teton for the defense made the open
ing plea for the prisoner. His prom
Use of evidence was sensational
and held the supreme attention of all
in the courtroom. District Attorney
Jerome, seemingly taken by surprise,
seated himself in the witness chair
the better 10 hear the outline of the
new defense. Mr.. Littleton promised
to forge a chain Of circumstances and
produce a line of testimony which
will prove Harry K. Thaw insane at
the time of the homicide. Evidence
of hereditary insanity and Of strange,
unusual acts of Thaw not even limited
at during the first trial was told of
by MIR. Littleton, who said that ply
sicians and nurses who had attended
Thaw were hurrying here from Eu-
rope, that teachers of the defendant
in childhood would be on hand to give
their impressions of the wide-eyed,
distant boy" In conclusion, Mr.. Lit
Teton challenged the district attorney
to produce a single reputable physi-
clan who would say that Thaw was
not insane at the time he killed the
noted architect.
