JUDGE DENOUNCES
CASHIERS ARREST
Employers Who Charged Embez=
Element Find Money Was
Deposited in Bank
Norbert E. Lloyd, Released by
Court, Threatens Suit for
Malicious Prosecution

Detained in the city prison for four
days on a false charge of felony en-
bezzlement while his five motherless
children were griefstricken at his un-
explained absence has been the expert
ence of Norbert +. Lloyd, book keeper
for A. ". Pike & Co, hardware mer-
chants, S91 Mission street. Lloyd was
released on his own recognizance yes
terday by Police Judge Shortall, who
characterized Lloyd's arrest as gross
outrage.
Lloyd was arrested last Sunday by
Detectives Mulcahey and T. C. Muir
ply on complaint OF Arthur w. Pike
and on Monday Pike swore to a COM
plaint before Judge Shortall charging
Lloyd with the embezzlement of s51.4O,
at the same time limiting that other
amounts were involved. Lloyd was
booked on the charge and sent for his
attorney, Bert Schlesinger. When the
case was called on Tuesday Lloyd pro-
tested his innocence, and at the request
of his attorney a continuance was
granted till next Wednesday.
MONEY PLACED IN BANK
Yesterday Pike. accompanied by At
torney w S. Mcknight. appeared be-
fore Judge Shortall, and Mcknight said
he desired to make a statement. Re
ferring TO Lloyd, he said:
4DlS man ndQ Deen employed as
book keeper and certain moneys came
into his possession, which it has now
been discovered had not been con-
verted by him to his own use, but had
been deposited in bank to the credit
of the firm, but the defendant had
failed to notify the firm that he had
done so. We. therefore, ask that the
case be dismissed
In answer To the judge Pike said
that what his attorney had stated was
true. but that Lloyd had been crim-
inally negligent in net notifying him
that the money had been deposited. He
said, however, that Lloyd had not en-
tered the deposits in the cashbook. to
which Lloyd retorted that he had not
been given time.
JUDGE SCORES EMPLOYER
In reply to Assistant District Attor-
ney Duke Pike said he would not take
Lloyd back. as he did not like the way
he had been running things He had
ordered a gold pen and charged it
against the firm and had overpaid some
of the employees, all of which Lloyd
denied.
1T appears TO me. that this a gross
outrage" said the judge, and a great
injustice has been done this man.
will release him on his own recog-
nizance and the case will be dismissed
when called next Wednesday,"
Lloyd said that his attorney was con-
versant with all the facts and would
see to further proceedings being taken
against Pike for malicious prosecution.
Lloyd lives with his family at 1927

History OF Famous Trial, When n
Fine Of go 900 Was Imposed.
The decision handed down by the
United States circuit court Of appeals
IN Chicago reversing the 6ne of S29.-
10000 imposed on the Standard on
Company Of Indiana by Judge Kene-
saw M. lands was the result Of a
sensational trial In April OF 1907 be-
fore Judge lands in the United States
district court wherein the Standard
OIL Company OF Indiana, a subsidiary
OF the Standard OIL Company Of New
Jersey, was under indictment for re-
ceiving rebates from the Chicago and
Alton road.
The shipments Of oil on which the
rebates were obtained were made from
Whiting, Ind, to East St Louis. The
regular rate was IS cents per barrel.
but the Standard got rebates which
brought its price down to Ga cents.
On April IS. 1907. the jury found
against theIcompany.
Following the trial Of the case, John
D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller,
Charles NJ. Pratt and other high off,
Gals OF the company were subpoenaed
and testified before Judge lands as
to the earnings Of the Standard Oil
Company OF New Jersey during the
three years covered by the indict-
ments. They said the company's earn
ings In that period were about $780,
100000. They testified on July 6
1907, and on the following Aug. 3
Judge Lands imposed the fine OF $29,-

ing to about $4,000 were collected on
shipments in 1,462 cars, though the
number OF shipments was but thirty
six. Judge lands imposed the maxi
mum fine under the Elkins law OF 500
900 on each Of the 1,462 car lots In
stead Of the shipments, though the re
bates were made on the shipments.
In It's defense the Standard Oh
claimed 1t supposed the 81 cent rate
was the lawful one. as no rate had
been publicly posted by the Chicago
and Alton road, as the law required.
When the fine was announced the

Dying Younger.

In view of all that has been said
about the fall in the death rate, it
seems strange to realize that we are
not living so long as our grandfathers
and grandmOthers did. More babies
live to grow up nowadays than former
ly, but people in later life die younger.
Once arrived at adult age the average
man or woman has fewer years of sur
vival to expect. This seems on the face
Of 1t so surprising a statement that in
order TO be accepted it should be back
cd up by data authentic and indisputa-
BILE Such data are furnished by the
figures of the insurance companies,
which all agree on the point, but it is
easier to refer to the government CEN
Sus reports. which tell the tale in SIM
pie and convincing fashion. Even dur

rate among all persons over fifty-fve
years of age OF both sexes has risen
