GOVERNMENT TO ASK RE-HEARING Thirty Days Within Which to File Petition and Attorney General Bonaparte
 Will Act.
IF PETITION IS DENIED
Federal Authorities May Then Go to Trial on the Original In- dictmcnt of 1,462
 Counts.

Chicago, July 22.-Following the unanimous decision to-day of Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker. compos- ing the United States circuit court of appeals, reversing and reinanding the case of the government against the Standard oil company of Indiana in which case Judge Landis, In inc district court. had imposed fine of s29,240.- 900. the federal attorneys to-day an nounccd that the government had thirty days within which 10 file a pe- tition for a re-hearing, and that 1t would be filed within the allotted period.
 In the case that was reversed to- day, the Standard oil company of Indiana was found guilty of accept ing rebates on shipments of oil from it's refinery at Whiting, Ind. to East St. Louis, III. Judge Landis fined the company $20.000 on each of 1,462 counts, each count representing car load shipment.
 | To-day's opinion of three judges of the higher court leaves little of the contention that each carload consti- tuted separate offense. Even the ! various shipments of which there were about 800, could not be consid- cred as separate offenses under the ruling of the court of appeals. The 1 fine should have been based on set | dement's between the railr )nd and the oil company, the opinion holds. or these there were just thirty-six. The maximum fine on this basis would amount to s730,O00, and the mini mum, S36,000 It is said hat $223,000 is the total amount which he Stand- ard oil company is alleged to have received as rebates on the shipments in question. In the event that a re hearing is denied the government may go to trial on the original indictment containing ,462 counts Such an ac- tion, District Attorney Sims could be ready to take within two weeks.
 There are also seven other indict- ments, containing 4,422 counts. As d NuSl dHlOuuL Ol WOIh I1dS Detn uOnC on the case already decided and re. versed 1t Is unlikely that an entirely new case will be instituted. The rec. ord of the present case contains over q million and a half words end Is esti. mated to have cost the government $200,000. Another move which may be made by the federal attorneys is to transfer the prosecution from this jurisdiction either to the western New York district or to the eastern Ten. nessee court. In these two districts the government investigation led tc indictments containing about 2,00( counts against the Standard oil com. pany. The court room was crowded witt lawyers and newspaper men wher

WANT ROOSEVELT
Western Politicians Anxious for Him
 10 Speak in Campaign.

Denver, Col, July 22.-Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the republican national committee, arrived tonight in an automobile from Colorado Springs and in company of other members of his party left immediately for Chicago. On his arrival there he will confer with number of political leaders from the middle west and arrange a con ference such as was held at Colorado Springs to organize for the campaign in the west.
 Western politicians are anxious that MT Taft visit this region at an early day and they will make an effort also west. They told Mir. Hitchcock that the republican situation in the west would be greatly improved if the president would come out in a positive statement in favor of Taft and giving assurances that the republican candl- date for president unquestionably would carry on the policies of the present administration. It Is now cer- tain that a great deal of the campaign ing in the west will be done by Sena- tors Borah of Idaho, Long of Kansas La Toilette of Wisconsin and Deliver of Iowa. If possible these men will be kept in the western states nearly all of the time. It Is expected here that Senator Borah will be the western member of the national executive committee.

 Hartford. July 22.-One of the effects of the proposed nomination of Con gressman George L. Lilley of Water bury for governor by the republican organization. in redemption Of prom ises made more than year and a half ago and before the submarine fiasco at Washington, Is already seen in the lively interest being taken by demo- crats in this part of the state. The belief is widespread that the Lilley first class chance to seize the state government In its executive depart ment, This Is enough to set tongues wagging in a search for the strongest man to pit against Lilley.
 It Is perfectly evident for one thing that the, powerful support of the Times of this city will be thrown for the dem ocratic candidate for governor. It is in- conceivable that the democrats should be so blind as to nominate a man of second class weight At the same time 1t Is recognized here that the winning man must be supporter of MT. Bryan in the approaching campaign. old line democrats who will this year not vote for the Nebraskan will nevertheless heartily support good democrat whether he votes for Bryan or not. There is no inclination to draw the line severely. All are agreed that 1t Is good time to get what can be gotten out of the situation.
 So far as can be ascertalned the feel ing of the democrats at this part of the stateuls that Hartford county this year offers better ground for political seed sowing than either New Haven county or Fairfield county, but 1t is not understood that this feeling is so intense that open-minded conferences cannot change 1t. In this connection it has been suggested that the nomina- tion be offered the popular young member of the Hartford county bar who made an excellent corporation counsel under Mayor Sullvan's admin istration, Joseph P Futile, Mir, Futile is young man of fine reputation, is a graduate of Yale in the class of 's9 and regular in his political conduct. He is in no sense of the word a candidate for the place and it Is not the inten- ton of his friends that be shall be placed in an embarrassing position but they believe that if the popular opinion of the organization should be directed his way democrats and anti Lilley men would accept him gladly MT. Tuttle left today for the Thous- and Islands for a vacation and sc could not be seen. In his absence his close friends were unwilling to talk beyond admitting that there had been talk of bringing his name forward.

The lunch was such success that 1t took about an hour to consume 1t and then the ball game between the New Haven and Hartford officials started. The game was one of the most remarkable ever seen on New Haven soil, both because of tho prominent men and the star playing by the batteries, especially in the first inning.
 l Martin in the Box.
 Mayor Martin started in the box for New Haven and Mayor Hooker of Hartford was the first nan to face him. After one strike Mayor Hooker singled and sprinted for first. While someone was examining the ball to see if 1t had the requisite number of stitches in the cover. Mayor Hooker stole second. Slide" came tho cry. from the Hartford crowd who had taken possession of the Morris Cove bleachers, and Mayor Hooker in very dlgnifel way slid and was safe Meanwhile Ed Young, the Hartford registrar of voters, was at bat. Mayor Martin sent the first ball beyond the plate, so far beyond in fact that Catcher Platt had to give a boy dime to run and find 1t. The second ball fell ten feet short of the plate and Mayor Martin caught 1t himself on the bound. In order to encourage him Young slashed vigorously at the next one which was at least three feet over his head. Then Mayor Martin sent two more which In some way reached Platt, and Young walked. In the general ex- citement Mayor Hooker stole third.

Newman Grove Reporter: At the
second day of the Leigh tournament
the hose companies from Newman
Grove and Humphrey ran a tie race
in the 100 yard dash with carts, time
fourteen seconds. One water fight
had been postponed from the day be-
fore, making three for the day. All
three went to the credit of the Grove
team. Henry Nelson and H. P. Olson
won two of them and Albert Swanson
and Simon Torgeson the other. The
last was a particularly hard fought
battle and one of the Humphrey con-
testants was particularly hostile after
his defeat. The ball game in the of.
ternoon was between Humphrey and
Columbus. Mcintosh played first base
for Columbus and Torgerson was out
in the field. OF the six runs made by
the Columbus team these two were
accountable for four, but as Hum.
phrey piled up ten scores they took
first money.
