CHICAGO, March 10.
Believing it impossible
to obtain a conviction for
the Standard Oil company
under the rulings of Judge
Anderson, the attorneys
for the government today
announced the abandon
ment of their case against
the oil company on 38
charges of accepting re-
bates from the Chicago &
Alton railway.
The attorneys for the
STANDARD asked an imme-
diate acquittal and the
jury was summoned into

and the oil company. which had
once before been convicted on the

a fine of $29,000,000, was COM

i The court explained that he dis
missed the Chappelle counts, more
than half the total counts against
the defendant. because there was
a fatal variance between the In

the Elkins law offenses can be

by violating the law on shipments

other way by carrying shipments

The court stated that the indict-

had been carried over more than

young men and girls Of Tacoma
and Seattle to their ruin by sell
ing them the drugs, detectives
created sensation In the Taco
ma police court yesterday after
noon when the five suspects were
arraigned ON charges of vag-
rancy.
The charges were made by De-
tective William Fackler of Ia
coma and Detectives M. r. Hub
bard and H. J. Keefe of Seattle,
who declared that the "messen-
ger" company with which the
young men have been associated
was merely a pretense and was or
iginated solely for the purpose Of
dispensing the poisonous drugs.
They said the young men had con-
Quoted a similar so-calleS ness
enger service In Seattle and had
been run out of that city, after
their illegitimate practice had
been disclosed.
The court imposed the maxi
mum penalty for vagrancy, 80
days on the city wood pile, and the
detectives think that by the time
the term of servitude has expired
they will have secured enough evi-
dence to hold them in connection
with the Helossis murder case.
Albert Fisher and May Clayton,
their associates, are now being
held in Seattle for the Helossis
murder.
When placed on the witness
stand Detective Fackler said that
every member of the gang was a
cocaine fiend, and had been in
strumental in running the lives Of
young girls and boys by selling
drugs to them. To substantiate
his statements, the detective pro-
duced several packages OF cocaine g
which he said the messenger"
had been peddling at 26 cents
each. The extent of the gangs
depredations in Tacoma society
will never be fully realized, stat
ed the officer, as the opiates had
been distributed among the bet
ter classes of people as well as
among the degenerates.
Detectives Hubbard and Keefe
of the Seattle police force told the
court that the entire gang had
been conducting a messenger
concern in that city. called the

pany, and had circulated O great
quantity of cocaine and morphine.
All the members of the gang

CASE
At TRACTS.
MANY
Large Crowd In Superior
Court to See Self
Styled Messiah--
Jury Complete

Before an audience which COM
pletely filled the large court room
of Judge Easterday's department
of the superior court, Josua
Klein, the mysterious expositor
of occult science, whose arrest
and Imprisonment has caused
Worldwide attention, was put on
trial this morning charged with
attempting to kill Miss Dora Gull
bertson. Near the end OF the
morning session, when eleven
jurymen had been selected and
accepted by the state and defense,
the venire was exhausted, and
court was adjourend until q
O'Clock this Afternoon. The twelfth
juror was chosen shortly after
court reconvened.
Several veniremen were reject
ed by the county attorneys and
Attorney George for the defense,
owing to openly expressed preju-
dices. The attorneys for either
side dwelt principally on so-called
newspaper reports" in examining
the veniremen, eager to discover
IL each candidate were prejudiced
in the slightest way. County At
torney ]. L. McMurray and At
torney George expressed great sat
isfaction at the eleven men chosen
at noon today.
Curious Crowd.
An unusually large crowd at
tended court this morning, more
particularly to see the mysterious
man who Is alleged to have kept
in bondage two young Tacoma
women to a Swiss chalet, by the
power of his science, than to hear
the testimony to be brought out.
Klein sat quietly at his attor-
|ney's table, scarcely moving a
muscle during the whole proceed
ing. He was dressed In a suit of
sober black, with high clergy
mans collar and black cravat.
Several veniremen, upon examina-
ton, stated that they considered
Klein a fraud and a CRATER, but
the prisoner showed no emotion
or resentment. He will be rep
resented throughout the case by
Attorneys George and Garretson,
and Wesley Lloyd.
Women in Attendance.
During the course of the morn
ing session, Miss Dora Culbert-
son, who preferred the charge
against Klein, and Mrs. Nellie
Sauvageot and Miss Indra Sauva-
geot, mother and sister of the
young woman who Is living in
Klein's chalet In the Swiss noun
tains, frequented the court room.
That sensational evidence will
be brought out before the present
trial is concluded was shown to-
day by the issuing of subpoenas
for a number of persons hereto
fore inconspicious In the case.
Subpoenas have been issued for
the newspaper men who have in
terviewed Klein In his cell.
The men who will form the jury
are as follows: r. w. Maloney,
G. A. McKenney, Charles Fergu-
son, Sherman Evans, A. o. Sher-
nan, H. Whalers, Silar johnson,

Simon Shaughnessey and John A.
Davis, B. A. Robinson.
Court was opened this after
noon with review of the facts of
the case. Direct testimony will
be taken tomorrow morning.
On the ground that the warrant
on which Klein was arrested is
faulty, Attorney George. repre-
senting Klein, Immediately after
the jury had been sworn. made
a motion for dismissal. Argu-
ments on the motion consumed a
large part Of the afternoon ses-
sion. The motion was denied.
