JUDGE Lands TWENTY NINE
MILLION DOLLAR FINE
REVERSED.
new TRIAL GRANTED
DECISION CONQUERED IN By THE
THREE JUDGES OF COURT
OF APPEALS.

Chicago-The famous decision of
Judge Lands, by which the Standard
Oil Company was fined 500 1000 900, was
reversed in a decision handed down
by the United States Court of Appeals
Wednesday morning. The case was
remanded for new trial The judgment
came as complete surprise The
night before. speculation as to the out
come of the suit was to the effect that
the decision would almost certainly up.
hold the fine imposed by Judge Lands.
The Court of Appeals differs with
the trial court on three points, holding
that Judge Lands excluded evidence
for the Standard Oil Company of In
diana which should have been ad-
mitted to show proper intent in the
rate the company paid on oil; that he
erred in considering each car lot
separate offense; and that in impos.
ing the maximum fine for the first Of
tense he abused the discretion vested
in his court. 1t Is strange doctrine,
says the opinion, whereunder a million
dollar corporation such as the defend
dant, the Standard Oil Company of In
diana. may be fined twenty-nine times
the amount of its capital stock, in or.
der to punish a defendant not even
under Indictment. BY this latter is
meant the parent company, the Stan.
dard Oil Company of New Jersey
The decision was reached by Judges
Peter S. Grosscup Francis +. Baker
and William II. Seaman. and was
unanimous.
The case will now go to the Supreme
Court OF the United States.
The decision handed down Wednes-
day by the United States Court of Ap.
peals was on the appeal Of the Stan.
dard Oil Company Of Indiana from III.
verdict rendered April Is. 1907, by
which the company was found guilty
OF accepting rebates and was later
fined by Judge Lands OF the United
States District Court $29.2+O0Oo, the
maximum under the counts of the in.
dictment.
The specific charge against the com.
pany was that 1t had accepted rebates
on shipments Of oil in carload lots
from Whiting, Indiana. to East St.
Louis. Illinois. over the Chicago 4 AZ
ton road. Evidence was adductd Al
the trial showing that the company re.
ceived rates one.third as large as other
shippers were obliged To pay. II was
contended by the counsel for the oil
| SoiHPdHs 'Iia' tHe rate WIS not secret
! but the jury found otherwise.
During the trial counsel for the oil
company refused to give information
called for by Judge Lands after he hal
taken the case under advisement. The
court thereupon issued subpoenas FOR
the officials Of the STANDARD oil Com.
pany Of New Jersey. among them John
ID. Rockefeller. These officials ap.
peared ia court on July 6. 1907. and
were personally examined by Judge
| Lands.
Judge Groscup wrote the opinion.
| The concluding sentence OF the opin-
| Ion reads:
THE judgment OF the District Court
Is reversed and the case remandcd with
instructions TO grant "A new trial and
proceed further In accordance with this

II Is a Mistake.

1t is n mistake that the farm
err and business mans interest
should ever be antagonized.
The truth about it is, they are
mutual co-partners in business
and each class prospers in pro-
portion to the harmony and I'M
ity Of purpose in which they act.
The one can not prohtably exist
without the other. The farmer
invests his time and labor on his
fields and pastures. From these
come the necessities of man.
kind; it is the fruit of his hands
and offering to all mankind.
The merchant, banker and
tradesmen invest their money
and time in furnishing the aids
OF those things necessary for the
producer and which can come
from no other source. They
stand ready at all times to hold
up the agricultural hand and
their every interest is in har-
mony with the working classes
and their should come no differ
ences between these promoters
of good feeling, domestic happi.
ness and general prosperity.
Unity Of purpose and concert
of action" should be the slogan
for the producers. merchant:

what sorry spectacle he would
have presented trying to secure
an appropriation Of $50, 900 for

measure while it received the

APPEAL FOR UNEMPLOYED.
Chaplain Couden's Invocation in the
House of Representatives Today.

In MS invocation In the House OF Rep
resentatives today Chaplain Couden refer
red to the numbers of unemployed
throughout the country and prayed that
they may be given an opportunity to
subsist. His prayer was in part as fol-
lows: We find ourselves in the rigors
of mid-winter, with hundreds forced to
idleness without the means Of subsistence.
Give us light that We may solve the
economical. social and Industrial prob
Iems that those who will may work and
subsist."
Every senator and representative in
Congress. it is stated, has received a
copy Of the resolutions adopted at the
recent convention Of the unemployed held
In St Louis. The resolutions state: I'VE
demand adequate measures whereby citi-
zens of both sexes shall be insured against
enforced idleness. and suggest that this
may be done even in the same way as
the soldiers are supported in periods of
inactivity, or upon being invalidated that
the soldiers of industry be treated at
least as we'll as the soldiers of war And
further that In view Of the fact that the
fundamental cause of enforced unem-
machines. mills and land to all the work.
ers, We demand that sufficient of such
land as remains in the public domain be
now effectively put at the disposal of the
unemployed for colonization or settle
ment. with such provision Of imple-
ments and necessaries as shall enable
them to harvest the first crop. We sue-
gest that In towns and cities idle hands
suitable for cultivation may be put at
the disposal OF the unemployed immedi-
ately. with similar provision"
IT Is also suggested that Congress issue
and appropriate $15OOOO.OOO or as much
as Shall be necessary, to improve and
deepen the waterways of the entire coun-
try. and especially those Of the Ohio and
