FINAL IMMUNITY
IN "OIL FINE" CASE

Washington, Jan. 6.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
MED the petition of the government for
a writ of certiorari in the 500, 600. 900.
fine case against the Standard Oil com
pany. This means that the government
has no recourse from the decision of
Circuit Judge Peter s.. Grosscup, of
Chicago, reversing the big fine assessed
by District Judge Kenesaw M. Lands.
The supreme court in reversing the
decision OF the lower court In various
cases against the Consolidated Gas
company, New Yor city, declared the.
laws of New York fixing the price OF
gas in New York city at 80 cents per
thousand to be constitutional.
The case of Oscar Reid, one of the
negro soldiers s%umlnarily DISCHARGED
by President Roosevelt on account OF
the Brownsville riot, was discharged,
the court holding that the amount in
volved was not sufficient to justify
bringing the case to the supreme court.
FUTURE ACTION MUST
COME FROM WASHINGTON
Chicago, Jan. 6.-District Attorney
Sims was informed of the adverse rul-
telegram. He declined to discuss the
matter, stating the announcement Of
any future action in the case must
come from Washington.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
courts ruling by no means necessarily
ends the case. The original case may
again be tried before Judge Lands, or
the government may proceed on some
entirely new case, with practically the
same evidence, however, basis for,
which already exists in previous indict-
ments.

IN THE THEATRES

Speaking of Dazie, who comes to Polls next week the New York Times says: A pantonimic production, en- titled sL' Amour de PArtist,'' was giv- en last night by Mile. Dazie, the Am erican dancer, and g. company of ten, Tat Keith & Proctors Fifth Avenue Theatre. The playlet in two scenes, without words, is intensely dramatic, and Nile. Dazie's portrayal of the principal character, Mana Mignon, the flower girl, ca,ptivated the audience. She had to respond to a dozen curtain calls, and received several punches of flowers from her admirers over the footlig1ts.
 The pantomime is given under the personal direction of the author, Giu- scope Mo1asso, and Frederic ChapOn wrote music for it. The playlet tells the story of the love of a flower girl of the Paris Latin quarter for fla nous artist.
 During a scene in the artists studio, where the artist declares his love for Mama, another woman enters and stabs the girl The artist, in his turn, stran gles the woman. The tragedy is told entirely in pantomime, but with such fidelity that the audience has no trou- ble in following the complete thread of the story. Mile. Dazie also intro duced several dances which she per- formed with cOnSummate grace
