strong east wind carried the flames
across the road TO the company's
warehouse, stocked with implements.

STANDARD FILES BRIEF IN
APPEAL FROM BIG
PENALTY.
Contention That Elkins Law was
Repealed by Hepburn Act
Omitted, But Other
Arguments Stand.

The Standard Oil Company of
Indiana Wednesday filed in the
United States Circuit Court of
Appeals the brief of the company
in its appeal from the fine of $685.
100000 imposed by Judge K. M.
Lands. The contention that the
Elkins law as repealed by the
Hepburn act is omitted from the
brief. but with this exception
every allegation made by the de-
Tense before Judge Lands and in
the later endeavor for a new trial
is repeated.
The principal contentious in
the bill are that the fine of $780,
100000 is excessive; that the acts
of the defendant should have
been merged &C continuous Of
Tense instead of being resolved
into | .462 offenses and thus a fine
of $4,000 only should have been
levied, and that Judge Landis
erred in summoning John ID.
Rockefeller and other officials of
the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey in an effort to learn
the financial standing of the In
diana corporation.

FRUIT OUTLOOK IS
GOOD NOW.
Approaching Season Promises
Much for Fruit Growers.

Despite the great freeze of the
fall of 1906, despite the fact that
some of the finest orchards in
the Michigan fruit belt were
practically wiped out, all fruit
growers are looking forward to a
banner season this year.
Prospects for good fruit crop
are declared to be good; true not
as good as in years ago but TAX
ing everything into consideration
it is believed the season of 1908
will rank along with some of the
best the fruit growers in the
Michigan section and northern
Indiana have ever experienced.
Providing favorable weather
conditions prevail there should
be some extraordinary yields of
the smaller fruits, such as berries
and the like. Though it is early
to make predictions nevertheless
The prospects for a hummer grape
crop are said to be excellent. APP
pies. pears and plums have done
we'll and with no killing frosts a
big crop of those fruits may be
expected. The outlook for a good
crop of cherries is also pronounc-
ed to be particularly encour aging.

TRACTION LINE

TAINTY WORK

FORE APRIL %.

The Logansport Pharos of Sat
urday says ]. H. Keller, presi-
dent of the indianapolis & South
Bend Traction line, a road which
has been much talked of and
brought to the attention of the
public time and time again, was
in that city Friday evening and
Saturday. and is said TO have de-
clared that the new road is now
an assured thing. That all the
funds necessary with which to
build this line have been secured,
and that he will return there
April 9th, to stay several days
and complete further arrange
mepts. The official survey is bill
ed to start April 18th, after which
the grading and construction
work will quickly follow.
The route proposed is as fol-
lows: indianapolis, Sheridan,
Frankfort. Michigantown, Lo-
gansport, Rochester, Argos, Ply
mouth and South Bend.
Some time ago residents of
south of that city talked of taking
blocks of stock with any COM
pany that would build the line,
and on the strength of their in
terest in the matter. it is under
stood that men of wealth at the
capital city have agreed to back
the enterprise.
If work on the proposed line
is not commenced before April
2Sth. the company loses its fran
chise through this city. When
the franchise was granted on Oct.
2S. '07. one requirement was that
work be commenced within six
months.

HAWKINS is NAMED
ON 761ST BALLOT.
Portland Man is Nominated for
Congress by Eighth District
Republicans.

Nathan B. Hawkins, OF Port
land. was nominated for Con
gress by the Eighth district Re
publican convention at Anderson
on the 161st ballot at IL 80 o.
clock Friday morning. Thus a
deadlock that began at ; O'Clock
Thursday afternoon was broken
after almost twenty-one hours OF
constant balloting.
Former Congressman q. w.
Cromer. OF Muncie, who sought
another nomination. led IN the
balloting up to the last vote, but
he realized he could not win, ard
finally threw his support TO his
Jay county friend. There were
two other candidates in the con-
,est-Theodore Shockney, OF
Winchester, and Albert H. Yes
tai, of Anderson-but neither
could gain on their original vote
The first break in the deadlock
came on the 760the ballot, when
seven votes of the Adams county
delegation were cast for Hawk
ms. 1t was then apparent that
Mr.. Cromer had decided to de-
liver his strength to Hawkins, fol-
Adams was voting according. tc
the wish OF Mr. Cromer.
On the following ballot Adams
county again led off with its vote
for Hawkins. Wells added five
for Hawkins. Jay cast its fifteen
votes for Hawkins, and Delaware
county, after being solid for MIR
Cromer through 760 ballots, cas-,
its entire thirty-one votes for Mr.
Hawkins.
Immediately after the Della
ware county vote was cast there
was a great demonstration tol
Hawkins. Then there was cal
for the Madison county vote. Mr.
Nestal instructed his home coun-
| tv to vote solid for Hawkins ant
make his nomination unanimous
However, Randolph did not cast
its twenty votes for Hawkins
and the Jay county candidate was
declared elected, he having re
ceived a total of 80 votes and
Mr.. Shockney %. Senator Haw
kins and Mr.. ,Cromer were led tC
the stage, and after brief speeches
the convention adjourned shortly
after noon.

GENERAL FIGHT
ON 2 CENT RATE
r E S u 1t OF u N 1T E D
STATES SUPREME COURT
DECISION ON MINNIE
sofa AND NORTH
CAROLINA RATES
CASES.

The United States Supreme
Courts decisions in the Minneso-
ia and North Carolina rate cases
is to be followed, it is said, by a
general assault on 2-cent-a mile
passenger rates and also freight
rates in most of the States whose
Legislatures have recently enact
ed such laws.
The railroad men of Illinois
met in Chicago Thursday to dis
cuss the question OF possible at
tack upon the Illinois 2-cent pas
senger rate law. Presidents, vice
presidents and general counsel OF
Illinois roads, who have been en-
couraged by the two decisions OF
the United States Supreme Court
on Monday in the Minnesota and
North Carolina rate cases, partici-
pated in the meeting.
Railroad officials said that no
definite plans for legal fight
have been decided on, and that
the meeting was to get expert
opinions as to the propriety OF le-
gal procedure. The conferences
probably will continue for several
days.
Executive officers assert that
statistics compiled by the roads
for the last six months prove that
both the 2-cent passenger rate OF
Illinois and the maximum freight
rates which the roads have been
compelled to put in force in Min
neSota and Wisconsin are confis-
catory.
The case of the Chicago & Al
ton is cited as typical of the llli-
nois roads. During November
and December 542,945 passengers
were carried, an increase of 49,
676 over the same period OF 1906.
But with this increase of S.4 per
cent in number of passengers car
ried the passenger revenue was
1851 1884, as against 1891 ,034 OF
the two closing months of 1906, a
decrease of 39,O5O. or Go per
cent, it is said. Statistics for
other months of the six months
period are said TO present the
same general testimony.
Thus far no similar movement
has been started to make an at
tack on the Indiana railroad rate
laws but if the fight is success
fully started in Illinois it will be
carried over all OF the State lines
both east and west.

Governor John A. Johnson is

He is something less than an
aggressive candidate, in that he
is making and will make no or
ganized systematic effort to Sc
cure the nomination. He is some
thing more than a receptive cam
didate, because in quiet and
dignified way he and his friends
are looking after his interests,

this announcement to be made
because | pointed out to him that
almost everywhere in the country
great uncertainty exists as to his
present attitude and future
course.
Governor Johnson said he had
no understanding of any sort
with Mr.. Bryan, and spoke in
terms of warmest admiration and
affection for that leader. 1t is
true, he said, that there was war
rant for some of the rumors that
he contemplated issuing a state
ment that under no circum-
stances would he be candidate,
because it is only within the last
few days that She has definitely
determined what his course was
to be. He is not eager to be con-
sidered an aspirant and, like most
men, has been under the impress
sion that Mr.. Bryan was sure to
be the choice of the party for the
