Standard Oil Fine Reversed.

Following the unanimous decision
on Wednesday Of Judges Grosscup,
Seaman and Baker, composing the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals, reversing and remanding the
case of the government against the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, in
which case Judge Lands In the dis
trict court had imposed fine of $780,
100000, the federal attorneys an
nounced that the government had
thirty days within which to file a pc
tition for a rehearing, and that 1t
would be filed within the allotted per-
iod
In the case that was reversed the
Standard Oil company of Indiana was
found guilty of accepting rebates on
shipments of oil from its refinery at
Whiting, Ind, to East st. Louis, Ills.
Judge Lands fined the company $780,
900 on each of 1,462 counts, each
count representing a carload ship
ment.
The opinion of three judges of the
higher court leaves little Of the con-
tention that each carload constituted
a separate offense. Even the vari-
Gus shipments, of which there were
about 500, could not be considered as
separate offenses under the ruling Of
the court of appeals.
The fine should have been based up
on settlements between the railroad
and the oil company. the opinion
holds. OF these there were just thir-
ty-six. The maximum fine on this
basis would amount to $72O,000, and
the minimum $4,000.
1t is said that $22S,OOO is the total
pany is alleged to have received as
rebates on the shipments in question.
In the event that a rehearing is de-
MED the government may go to trial
on the original indictment containing
1852 counts. Such an action District
Attorney Sims could be ready to take
within two weeks. There are also
seven other indictments, containing
4,422 counts.
Another move which may be made
by the federal attorneys is to trans
fer the prosecution from this jurisdic-
ton either to the Western New York
district or to the Eastern Tennessee
court. In these two districts, the gov
ernment investigation led to indict-
ments containing about 1000 counts
against the Standard Oil company.

On the eve of their departure for
their homes three men of the Pennsyl'

historical battlefield of Gettysburg
about 10 o'clock Thursday night. The
dead are:
Private Barbe, Eighteenth regiment.
Private Morrison, Tenth regiment.
Private Carver Eighteenth regi'
ment.
When the storm came up Governor
Stuart was entertaining few friends
In his tent. The storm broke with
such suddenness and fury that the oc-
cupants of the tent were entangled In
the canvas and ropes but all escaped
serious injury.
There were nearly fifty men In the
regimental guard tent of the Tenth
regiment when the storm broke and
not one is believed to have escaped in

The men of the Second brigade,
whose tents were pitched in the low
land, were forced to swim to safety.
When the storm swept down upon
the camp there were hundreds of WIS.,
itors present. Scores of men and wo-
men sought shelter in the Y. NJ. c. A.
tent. This immense sheet of canvas
was tossed like toy balloon in a
gale of wind, but strangely enough not
one person was injured.
The greatest excitement prevailed
and many troopers who were injured
could be located only by their cries
for assistance. all the lights In the
camp having been extinguished by the
terrific wind.
