Standard Hearing Resumed In
Chicago Today
OCTOPUS GIVEN REBATES
COUNSEL FOR OIL COMPANY PRE-
sENTs EVIDENCE BEFORE
JUDGE FERRIss TO SHOW THAT
TRUST DID NOT RECEIVE PREF
ERENT RATES.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The Standard OH
Co. attorneys presented evidence to-
day before Judge Franklin Ferriss in
support of the contention that the
oil company has not been the recip-
lent of preferent rates from the rail-
roads in different sections of the coun-
try.
The hearing was in the federal build
Ing in Judge Betlea's court room, ad-
Joining the court room in which Judge
lands pronounced his Judgment that
the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana should
pay a fine Of $2S,24000o, and is a
rhase of the attempt Sf the govern
nlent in the suit in chancery to have
the Standard Oil Co dissolved and
cease to exist as corporate entity.
Special Government Attorney Frank
B. kellogg and Charles b. Morrison,
former United States district attor-
ney in Chicago, represented the gov
ernment and Attorneys John S. Mil
Ter and Moritz Rosenthal, both Of
whom appeared for the oil company in
the spectacular fine case, represented
the company before Judge Ferriss.
Principal Witness on Stand.
Henry E. FELTON,, general trafric man
ager of the Standard Oil Co., was the
first witness called to the stand and
will be the principal witness to be
examined in the Chicago hearing.
The main contentious of the govern
ment on the angles of the hearing
which are to be considered in the ex-
animation of the railroad witnesses
are that the Standard Oil Co was CIV
en- rebates by the railroad companies;
that secret concessions were made to
It; that preferential rates were estab-
lished for it's advantage and that in
addition in many cases the railroads
so manipulated open rates that the big
OIL company had a decided advantage
over its competitors.

in his tracks. This mans sentence
had been commuted to so lashes on
the bare back Now, said he, let the
penalty be executed.
It was done-in part only. Nineteen
strokes from the two-lashed whip
he shrieked at the first, then strug-
gled, then groaned-left him fainting.
His back was a raw, bleeding patch.
Fifty voices called halt. 1t was put
to a vote while he hung from his
thongs, the icy wind beating on his
quivering flesh. The crowd, whose
members had snarled back into his
snarling face, cried for mercy. They
left the place silently while the two
custodians dressed the prisoner.
This last done, the guards released
the thief. But first they hung from
his shoulder two rudely printed board
signs. One was over his scored back,
the other over his breast. They read
THIEF
PASS ME- ALONG
Leave this camp" they told him.
"If we ever see your face here again
We will kill you"

the trail. 1t was justice, rude and
cruel; but justice, in the eyes Of all.

heavy feet could bear him. He had
none Of that endurance of physical
pair which comes to men of finer fiber.
His was animal strength, and it was
going. His back throbbed. No ban.
dase shielded it from his coarse gar.
ments. The board signs rose with
each footstep and fell back again.
Each time it was like fresh stroke
of the whip. He dared not leave the
crowded trail
He centered his dull mind on reach
ing Dyea. There, he felt, he could
find refuge with some of his kind.
The idea gave him strength. He
walked swiftly, at times he trotted
