Standard Oil Case Reversed

Chicago, July % By a uinani
nous opinion the United States cir
cult court of appeals on Tuesday
decided that the famous case of the
government against the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, in which
the latter was fined more than 500,
600, 600 by Judge lands in the
district court must be retired.
The decision was delivered by
Judge Grosscup and concurred in
by Judges Baker and Seaman.
The decision is scathing arraign-
ment of Judge Lands, holding that
he imposed the fine when the COM
pany was not indicted, and not
even on trial. Judge Lands as
sessed the highest possible fine, in
each separate alleged ofense.
This decision was a great shock
to the government. The Standard
Oil company of Indiana is one of
the subsidiary companies of the
Standard Oil company of New
Jersey and has a capital of $l0.-
900. 600, but the governments in
showed that during
some periods it earned more than
1000 per cent profits.
Among the errors found by the
court in reversing Judge lands
decision were the following That
evidence showing that six per
,epts was the lawful rate between
Whiting and East ST. Louis was
lied with the nterstAte commerce
commission; mat the number Of
'fenses was the number of car
Dads transported irrespective of
whether each carload was whole
II part only of single shipment;
hat the trial court abused the dis
retion vested in the court in the
of such an enormous fine. ,
